Hey please read this if you are a fire fighter or whatever.. im 14. and when i grow up i wanna be a fire fighter not because i like playing with firetrucks or because of the excitement. but i want to help people and i would like to do it as a career. i just wanted to know if you made money from it and if you do how much. also if you could give me any pointers that would be nice. and one more thing. if you do it for a career do you have to go to college because i want to go to college :).
@Emeriican hey man, being a FF is a great career and really fun as well. i am 15 and plan on doing it as my career. u can b involved at ur local FD at age 14, volinteering as an explorer. i sugest u look into that. and no you do not have to go to college to be a FF but u do have to go to college to become an officer, wether that be LT. CPT. or chief. i personally have been a FF for about 6 months and i love it. also if you into helping people EMS is a great thing to look into as well
@Emeriican Yes, in most cases you do have to go to college unless you have a department that will train you. In most cases you do need to be emt certified at least. As for money, depends on where you are located. There are a few, small few firefighters that are officers and have multiple trainings that make over three figures. The average I believe is 46,000 a year for a career firefighter. I have to throw this in here , don't do this for a paycheck, if you don't love it you will waste your time
@Emeriican these firefighters are idiots, whats with the delay in putting water on the fire, retards, half of them arent wearing their packs, they must be volunteers. Fulltime career you make about 90k a yr depending on which city, fast track college in texas in a smart move
@firefighter4417 just because they are not wearing pack you consider them volunteers? i know volunteers that would run around you and your "paid" staff work quicker more efficient and safer
@mx444 I consider them volunteers from my experience, I was a volunteer before I got on full time, I know the difference jerk off. They should have put water on the fire within a minute of arriving in this situation. They should have been wearing their SCBA's, there is no excuse for completely disregarding your own personal safety, ok hick! Before you respond with some asinine comment defending the stupidty of most likely yourself in this video, recognize that experience is writing this. BITCH!
@Emeriican wat city you live in? if you want to work your way up the departments ladder school is a must i know getting your associates degree will get u in a department. that comes with fire one fire two and emt. its best to get your paremetic to. u have any questions just send me a message
I have watched a few of these videos and all I can say is these guys really need to be wearing SCBA...the one person I saw with it on didn't even have it on tight. We just went through a SCBA refresher course, and I will say It isn't any less important to have than your attack line...I say that because If a firefighter goes down that line is no good to anyone...not to mention we don't need to lose anymore firefighters.

there is always one truth about trailer fires. and i am saying this having been a firefighter for 21 years ( vol.), unless you are there when the job starts, chances are the greatest you are only saving the foundation. You could be the best at the work, and that is an unfortunate reality
Before you all start running your mouths, go join the FD, Oh wait, you probably can't, because your lazy fat butt wont make it! I give props to Gary FD because they seem to be the Only FD posting vids like this. Its a good eye opener, and a lot can be learned from their videos.
madas21, i like your videos and i am thinking about being a volunteer and my local station. dont listen to these buffoons and keep up with the great vids!
@94twiki I don't listen to them, it's just some of the comments are so ridiculously idiotic I have to respond..... There are a lot of book humpers who have no clue what real firefighting is or they run their mouths when there were not on the scene and have no clue as to what happened or what was going on. They are watching a video the covered 25% of the actual scene, they don't know what was transpiring on the other 75% of the scene, but they are super firefighters!!!
@mabas21 I got an email which included your response to my post. I guess somebody flagged it before i got to read it here. Its not very professional for fire fighters to dare someone to come out and fight. Im sorry I dont live closer to your state. But the idea of daring someone like this makes me wonder about your maturity and how your company behaves on scene. Do you fight other fire dept's, patients, law enforcement officers, etc? If you care to drive or fly, I'm not too hard to find in MD
@love4guns700 1st off I am no longer a firefighter and 2nd off, you were the jackass that replies they suck. Keep your mouth shut if you were not there. You don't know what happened or the circumstances. You book hungers and or armchair qb's make me sick. I have followed Gary for 4 years now and would trust them with my life and or property. This was a vacant trailer in a park with no hydrants. They made an aggressive hit and ran out of water, they went in and took a chance.
If all the owners could do was stand around and watch their home and everything they have burn, do you really think they would have called 911 asking for gray fire dept to "we are having a bonfire. Come out and enjoy the fire and chat with us?"
Gray Fire Dept needs a major restructure. get rid of the chief, establish better SOP's, bring a training school to the fire house to train its staff, and finally randomly drug, alcohol AND IQ test. Get rid of anyone who doesnt need to be there!
This is just plain pathetic!!!! there is no sense in venting smoke if the home is unoccupied and you dont have a line charged. Most older singlewide trailer owners cant afford insurance. I bet they are horrified that Gary FF's can only stand around and look stupid until a professional fire dept arrives.
Is this a joke? I work in an area with poor water and plenty of singlewides, mostly from the 1950s vintage. I will say that there really is nothing to save when these things are burning like that, but these guys are tools! Opening up th ething when you don't have water to apply? Why bother opening it up when you can't do anything about the exposures? If it's a mobile home park, they are close together and the threat of exposure is huge. Hey Gary, catch the plug, even if it's 2 blocks out.
i see a common theme in gary indiana...no firemen. They're tactics are terrible for one, and not a single one wears an SCBA...open the walls up with no hoselines in place, just brilliant...good job burning this one down guys
@xXBirDEXx125 so then how come when a fire is really big ive seen them spray the celing or higher. Is that just to prevent flashover and the you spray the base of the fire?
I cant believe they let a trailer park be without any hydrants.The city fire person in charge should be fired.Then a tanker not being avialble somebody should be fired.Oh thats right they are union explains it all
@love4guns700 Do me a huge favor, come on out and say that to just one of their faces. Come on out behind your safe little user name and computer screen. Your probably a scared little bitch though......
This a purely an honest question. At 1:25, they are ripping apart that window frame(?) and making it larger. Are they doing this to create a bigger area to direct a water stream into or what is the reasoning? Just curious, don't take it the wrong way.
@AdamIowa89 They were opening the trailer up to gain access to the fire without having to enter the trailer with a line, the only problem is they ran out of tank water a lot quicker than anticipated. I don't take the question wrong at all, better to ask than run around wondering
@mabas21 thanks...when I was growing up we had the house on the corner where the fire hydrant was on our lawn. when I moved out of the house and a city over, the house I live in now, I cannot tell you where a fire hydrant is located that I can see of. there is a fire dept less than a block away from me. I hear the trucks with their sirens rolling out alot. :)
@ drozak3207 what a dumb fuck, i am a first year volunteer, and i understand water limits. believe me on that our dept. covers 72 sq. miles of forest and farm land we have to tank water by the time the first truck is on scene, a house is usually fully involved and we are calling for mutual aid. neighboring jurisdiction had a house fire 2 weeks ago they had 7 depts. there and we taxed the cities water supply, we were tanking water from everywhere. I believe steel roofing should be outlawed
i understand the whole revealing the fire and ventilating, but i dont think it was timed all that well ha, cuz as soon as they vented that house took off and they didnt have enough water. but trailers are always a lost pretty much.
This fire dept looks sad, see the car fire vidoe also. And what the hell is that firefighter doing with that pike pole in the first 2 min of the video?!
@AdamIowa89 They don't have any rural to be honest, what they do have is very limited to a few acres not square miles. In this instance the trailer park did not have hydrants and it was a looooong stretch to a good hydrant
its very weird that you mabas21 are always at the sene of most fires in gary if i was a fire investigator i would say you might be starting these fire...
@xTHEORPHANx Actually I have not been to a fire in Gary since May sometime and that city is burning like mad, about 3 -4 fires a week, so now what do you have to say?
So they are actually getting paid to stand there and watch the place burn to the ground....seems like they could have at least done something more productive than stand and watch when they are on the clock.
@wassman99 Wow have you learned nothing from any of thee comments how do you put out a fire when u run out of water and they were venting properly just like they should
@taylorjacquise - it seems like you wouldn't want to ventilate until you had water there. By keeping it closed up, wouldn't that keep the fire choked of oxygen and not letting it spread? That would allow you some time to start wetting it down and cooling it off before opening it up.
As for learning something from the comments...there are a lot of comments and many are not constructive as you probably have noticed.
ok, so i dont understand why the opened the side of the house. I know its a form of venting but i rarely see this used, Im not understanding the thought process here. And as a firefighter in a rual area i understand the lack of water situation.
@drozak3207 It is true, us volunteers do have more balls than any paid department anywhere in the world because we risk our lives to save someone else and what do we get in return? maybe a thank you, but thats what everyone says when you save them.. We never do it for the thanks, we do it because we love to do it, and we don't need no damn paycheck to do the same damn things paid departments get!so FUCK OFF!!!!
i thought you said gary was a full time union paid department...??? but it is true, us volunteers do have more balls than any paid department anywhere in the world because we risk our lives to save someone else and what do we get in return? maybe a thank you, but thats what everyone says when you save them.. We never do it for the thanks, we do it because we love to do it, and we don't need no damn paycheck to do the same damn things paid departments get!
lol Kaysin thats funny...but your right he would sue for water damage...people dont realize that a house trailer will go up in about 10 to 15 mins...so if they were on scene and it was still standing ..my hats off to them. good dispatching good response..and for anyone whos never been a paid or vol fireman...it doesn't matter the fire is hot for all of us...god bless all dragon slayers..
ahh drozak3207 its called venting the fire how bout you leave the firefighting to real firefighters like me k thanks....and they cant put the fire out from tht little window..i swear people dont know anyhting they shouldnt say it
ummm dear voulenteer losers how about using some water instead of smacking it with an axe.... was a small fire when you got there and then after ripping a hole in the building and making the fire bigger then you use some water good job!
@drozak3207 Gary is a full time, union, paid department. This was a trailer park without hydrants, crews had to wait for a tanker from a few miles out. SO next time you want to open your trap and look like a total fool because you don't know what your talking about, research the department you want to bad mouth. Oh and btw, volunteers have more balls than you ever will
@mabas21 90% of the voulenteer losers are doing it just cause they want to look cool you knwo the ones with the light bars and station numbers all over their cars. you know the ones who start most of the fires.... bunch of clowns
@drozak3207 You obviously don't know anything about firefighting. It's something we call "venting" the fire, so you don't end up with a backdraft or flashover. You see that thick black smoke coming out of the rest of the trailer? That's a very bad sign because the rest of the trailer isn't on fire and when it does ignite the gasses = boom flashover when everything ignites at the same time. When you vent it, you allow the fire to breathe at a normal rate thus eliminating the chance of a flashover
@drozak3207 You must not be a firefighter. Look at the smoke conditions. Nobody was going to save this mobile home! The clearing of windows requires that all glass and crossmembers be removed for entry/exit. The opening of the side of the mobile home was a safer defensive attack versus endangering firefighters to save nothing. This building was a lost before firefighters showed up.
@drozak3207 yeah, good job buddy. i really hope youre not a firefighter cuz youd be a disgrace to the badge. paid firefighters know when their shift is. volunteers risk their lives just the same, only seven days a week, 24 hours a day. and they do it for nothing but to save lives and property.
@drozak3207 i dislike this vedeo only because these fucking dumb ass firefighters could not get a small fire under control, and if that was my house on fire and i saw what they were doing, id have to start shooting them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@drozak3207 Another statement from a "Mr. Knowitall", who knows nothing of what he's talking about. Are you a firefighter? No? Where you at the scene of the fire? No? But you still know the situation they were in? No? Right, so keep your idiotic comments to yourself. You're probably one to also throw water on a grease or an electrical fire... Good thing you don't live anywhere near me.
@drozak3207 Look pal you should be ashamed of what you said, a volunteer is prepared the same way as a paid one, I am sure you've got no idea of what a fire is like if they made any mistake it was possible but its not something to blame of people, mistakes happen and anyone can make them, paid or volunteer the same, I guess you don't know whats giving your time, work and life for someone else is like because that what being a volunteer is about.
I'm curious to know if this video demonstrates poor fireground actions or proper actions. Maybe it's just my lay person's lack of knowledge of fire properties, but all that action at the window at the 1:00 mark seemed to only make things worse.
Would it have been better to wait for water before chopping the trailer up? Seems that the fire could have spread externally after yanking all that flaming material outside.
@mabas21 sorry but wrong again ... idk which department your on or where you get your facts but on ours several short blasts is alarm for the rit team or rapid intervention team. we do not sound horns to let us know water is coming or that we are out.
@btothej10 Sorry, but your wrong. Get your facts straight before you open your trap. I asked multiple GFD members what the difference is. I ask questions before I make myself look like an ass. Your department has different sop's doesn't make every other department's way of doing things wrong
Nice! Strong work fellows, lets feed the fire and spread it's fuel source to allow it to burn. Oh and lets not worry about our supply and attack lines. Is this the same guy who sprayed water on the car door hoping it would extinguish the flames? Oh and lets spray the sky, and hope these broken water particles does our job. And is their B.A. low for 5 minutes work? Impressive!
@AlvisoBay When you apply water above the fire, it creates steam. Which in return eliminates the oxygen supply for the fire, causing it to suffocate. You waste water when trying to shoot it directly onto the fire, when everything around it is already burning.
i gata question, if your civillian, non firefighter emt police etc. and u were there at the time,say theres police fire dept etc on the scene are u allowed to film it? i always figuered itd be sumhow illegal idk
@mabas21 close... by law you can record anything in plain view with the exeption of voices. your image is public but your voice is private domain that is the only thing that can get you into some trouble
@btothej10 Dude, do you just want to argue? I guess when I start recording I should tell everyone not to talk because it is unlawful for me to record their voices. Basically what you are saying is a dad recording his kids at Disney is against the law because people around him are talking.
@mabas21 Well there is a list of children at every school that says "You cant take pictures of these people" but as far as the legality of recording someone, just say "i'll remove you from the clip" or somthing, blur out their face or some such...
Why was'nt a tanker dispatched when T-13 relized this was a working double-wide mobile home fire dispatching a second alarm? These firefighters making holes bigger in this mobile home when having no water certainly gave the fire plenty of air to breath with making the fire bigger. Yes, I am a firefighter myself. Where I'm a firefighter at, in Wakulla County Florida. We have some areas that have hydrants however, places don't have hydrants, we have an tanker enroute, comfirmed fire or not.
Hey great vid man. I really like your other work as well. Awesome camera work,, damn close up to the action, and highly educational/entertaining without saying anything. Love it. Thanks for your efforts. Bet you will improve fire fighting in Gary and other places, these are invaluable.
Oh my god Jason, your an iddiot! No one would be screaming inside, To me that place was fully involved, if there was anyone, there fucking dead! My first fire was a trailer fire, 5 year old was in bed when the fire broke up, it took us 6 mins to get on scene and the place was already fully involved!
Sorry, but with what is showing on arrival, there would be no chance for survival in that structure...absolutely no reason to enter this structure....unless you just want your name on the LODD list...Body recovery can wait until the fire is out if you plan on looking for anyone in there...
I agree with garywayne... a 30 degree fog on the material burnning would do much better then a straight stream through the flames hitting the back wall and running out the front door.
I dont understand why you would create multiple openings in the structure without adequate water supply. Why an interior attack. The trailer is a write off. In our Department we call those guys who scream outstanding firefighters...because they are usually outside standing around screaming. I agree with the other post...embarassing and poor safety without the SCBA's on.
Damn shame they ran out of water before the initial attack was successful. They almost had it! GREAT video. Glad nobody was injured.

@xXBirDEXx125 so then how come when a fire is really big ive seen them spray the celing or higher. Is that just to prevent flashover and the you spray the base of the fire?

This a purely an honest question. At 1:25, they are ripping apart that window frame(?) and making it larger. Are they doing this to create a bigger area to direct a water stream into or what is the reasoning? Just curious, don't take it the wrong way.
AdamIowa89 1 year ago
@AdamIowa89 They were opening the trailer up to gain access to the fire without having to enter the trailer with a line, the only problem is they ran out of tank water a lot quicker than anticipated. I don't take the question wrong at all, better to ask than run around wondering

@mabas21 thanks...when I was growing up we had the house on the corner where the fire hydrant was on our lawn. when I moved out of the house and a city over, the house I live in now, I cannot tell you where a fire hydrant is located that I can see of. there is a fire dept less than a block away from me.

@ drozak3207 what a dumb fuck, i am a first year volunteer, and i understand water limits. believe me on that our dept. covers 72 sq. miles of forest and farm land we have to tank water by the time the first truck is on scene, a house is usually fully involved and we are calling for mutual aid. neighboring jurisdiction had a house fire 2 weeks ago they had 7 depts. there and we taxed the cities water supply, we were tanking water from everywhere. I believe steel roofing should be outlawed

@taylorjacquise - it seems like you wouldn't want to ventilate until you had water there. By keeping it closed up, wouldn't that keep the fire choked of oxygen and not letting it spread? That would allow you some time to start wetting it down and cooling it off before opening it up.
As for learning something from the comments...there are a lot of comments and many are not constructive as you probably have noticed.

ok, so i dont understand why the opened the side of the house. I know its a form of venting but i rarely see this used, Im not understanding the thought process here. And as a firefighter in a rual area i understand the lack of water situation.

@drozak3207 You obviously don't know anything about firefighting. It's something we call "venting" the fire, so you don't end up with a backdraft or flashover. You see that thick black smoke coming out of the rest of the trailer? That's a very bad sign because the rest of the trailer isn't on fire and when it does ignite the gasses = boom flashover when everything ignites at the same time. When you vent it, you allow the fire to breathe at a normal rate thus eliminating the chance of a flashover

KaysinUSA 1 year ago
@drozak3207 You must not be a firefighter. Look at the smoke conditions. Nobody was going to save this mobile home! The clearing of windows requires that all glass and crossmembers be removed for entry/exit. The opening of the side of the mobile home was a safer defensive attack versus endangering firefighters to save nothing. This building was a lost before firefighters showed up.

@drozak3207 yeah, good job buddy. i really hope youre not a firefighter cuz youd be a disgrace to the badge. paid firefighters know when their shift is. volunteers risk their lives just the same, only seven days a week, 24 hours a day. and they do it for nothing but to save lives and property.

I'm curious to know if this video demonstrates poor fireground actions or proper actions. Maybe it's just my lay person's lack of knowledge of fire properties, but all that action at the window at the 1:00 mark seemed to only make things worse.
Would it have been better to wait for water before chopping the trailer up? Seems that the fire could have spread externally after yanking all that flaming material outside.

@AlvisoBay When you apply water above the fire, it creates steam. Which in return eliminates the oxygen supply for the fire, causing it to suffocate. You waste water when trying to shoot it directly onto the fire, when everything around it is already burning.

Why was'nt a tanker dispatched when T-13 relized this was a working double-wide mobile home fire dispatching a second alarm? These firefighters making holes bigger in this mobile home when having no water certainly gave the fire plenty of air to breath with making the fire bigger. Yes, I am a firefighter myself. Where I'm a firefighter at, in Wakulla County Florida. We have some areas that have hydrants however, places don't have hydrants, we have an tanker enroute, comfirmed fire or not.

I dont understand why you would create multiple openings in the structure without adequate water supply. Why an interior attack. The trailer is a write off.

I agree with the other post...embarassing and poor safety without the SCBA's on.
