@Silvawolf100 >>>---> Shreveport does NOT have everything happpen, It just seems like it does because we have a lot of people interested in keep track of what is going on - sharing some of it on YouTube and not being afraid to show what city we are in.
@zaffdoc very true. And i meant no offense either. like you said it just seems like everything happens out in your town/city. I wish we here in Ogden, UT had more people to do this. I know stuff happens out here im just never near it with a video camera. although i probably shouldve taken a picture of a tow i went on where the Drunk driver drove his truck up a 50 foot tree. Broke the axle and well lets just say the tree was uprooted completely by the driver.
@Silvawolf100 >>>---> Now that sounds like a really nasty wreck. With the quality of videos you can get with some cell phones and with Flip like recorders you can capture some really unexpected events. You can carry one in your pocket. and if you really want to get some good stuff you need a fire radio scanner to let you know where the action is taking place. You never want to get in the way or anything like that. You can often video emergency rigs responding to an incident..
@zaffdoc if only i could get the only picture i do know of off my boyfriend's phone. although its not very good. The truck's frame was completely twisted. it was funny, but sad too. the guy did survive though
Why would the Grandmother escape the house without the kids? If my house caught fire with my kids inside, I wouldnt leave without them. I'd rather die trying to rescue my kid in a fire than escaping without them and living with the guilt the rest of my life
@xaqshuna2003 >>>---> So, that is all you got out of this video.... Why don't you just stop watching it before it says "end" that way it will not bother you so much.
why did their family just leave them in there, well if it was me I would do everything I could to save their lives.... well I mean unless they couldn't find them in the house in time?
At one place I was at something like this happened, the house was left standing and became a crack house.
After the 3rd fire the property was razed and we bought the vacant lot and turned it into a large back (side) yard, with a small sign up to the people who died in the fire.
when my sister was at a birthday pparty her freind was lighting the candles the match was on fire but then she droped it but luckly she steped on it so the fire went out
Is the house still standing or did they knock it down. Where exactly was this house? Sad! I was 3 when this occurred. My old man was a volunteer FF during this time.
I'm retired after 19 years of firefighting; 10 wildfire, 9 structure. The issues are size up, attack plan, and don't compromise firefighter safety. Thinking is more important and effective than running. If you're running on a wildfire, you've broken at least one of the 10 Standard Firefighting Orders. Paul Gleason, my friend, fire God, and the one who developed LCES considered mindfulness to be the most important attribute of a firefighter.
@zaffdoc Hello, I'm doing a school project which involves fire and your video just happens to be suitable, would it be alright if I take the video? Thank you!!
And yeah... This really shows how kids should always be educated on this issues :/ It's tragic that they died, just because they wanted to have some fun(?)..
one time my nighbors car caught on fire at like 11 pm it just completely burst into flames the funny thing is the alarm was going off and everyone was outside except for the people who owned the car (they were sound sleep) the firemen had to knock on there door to get them out and i was only 13 i saw a orange glow on my curtain so i looked out side and i saw it i could of went to sleep but i told my parants therefore i am a childhood hero
Its tragic that they died. Our job is to put fires out but there is a degree of risk involved. Risking the lives of firefighters to recover bodies only makes for more fatalities. Risk vs. Benifit... sacrificing a crew of fire fighters to recover the kids bodies would only be foolish.
my house was on fire yesterday in colorado springs casue the niehbor blew up her meth lab so now i dnt have a house...only a laptop my guns and my playstation3
Poor people...actually you shouldn't feel bad for them because it was their fault. It isn't like they couldn't help it. They did it on purpose. Stupid stupid stupid people.
@crispytoe21...dude...the fire started because the babies were playing with matches....babies don't know any better....you're comment was really unnecessary...somewhat hateful
zaffodoc it is not stupid to run at a fire scene at all.us firefighters have a job to do and thats to save lives and property so grow up man.grow up.im a firefighter and i know about these things.
@danny25824 >>>---> Hummm, I guess different fire depts work different ways. It just seems to me that if every firefighter worked as a free agent and did whatever they wanted at a fire scene it would not turn out well. I believe that working under a command structure and being well trained works better than running into an untenable fire to save someone that has obviously perished way before firefighters arrival on the scene.
@danny25824 No you are wrong and that is stupid because any firefighter in their right mind would tell you that it is dumb to run into a burning house. How do not know if that house could explode the minute you enter it. Not all houses heat and stuff run on electricity most of the time houses run on gas. So yea I know you aren't a real firefighter because a firefighter woundn't of said something stupid like that.
to xfactor, when they showed the very first picture it looks at that point it would be very hard to enter too far in due to the heat, and realistically anyone still inside at that point were likely gone already. But i can't say for sure I wasn't there. It would be very hard for the Captain in carge to risk the lives of his men at that point! Even though we all know them as hero's, there has to be a level of survivability aswell.
@zaffdoc looks to be it, its upwind, but most building materials don't fare well to heat, stuff like shingle asphalt could ignite by itself. Learned that the hard way patching up a small shed's roof, add a little too much heat and swoosh. Another question, at some places they would vent a roof by cutting a hole through it to extend the chances of its inhabitants getting out alive. What would be the standard on whether to punch a hole or just take out all the windows?
This is horrible and happens all too often. More parents need to see this. and have their kids watch what can and will happen if you play with matches. The same thing happened to some kids I knew from a trailer park were in the closet playing with matches. They never made it out of the closet. Still haunts me to this day.
RANGE WALK!! Move with a sense of purpose and direction. I saw a white helmet walking, a FF stretching a line WITH SCBA on walking, (Go ahead and stretch with your mask on and the go in...tell me how much air you have left), and FFs moving a line after the bulk of the fire appears to have been extinguished.
Running around like an idiot doesn't help. Moving with a purpose does, whatever speed that may be,
at a fire ,dont run?Bull shit unless you cant run and chew gum at the same time...if your slow and stupid then dont move fast,if your what you should be and in condition the job requires ya move fast to get shit done...years of fighting forest fires has proven to me that you do run when the time demands it,its the fat stupid outof shape slobs that shouldnt be there in the first place that say other wise.
well, everyone knows we must sit back not get into tunnel vision and just assess the whole situation at hand, cant just go and do it because someone says someone is in there.. take the precautions
you know, a couple of years ago in my town about the same thing happened. two kids decided to play with matches, thus causing a fire , resulting in death. and not many fires happen in my town.. but when there ARE fires, THEY ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, such as an old factory on fire blanketing, literally, the entire county with smoke. But there have only been 17 fires in the last ten years.
Zaffdoc I was intending my comments to the 1st poster who was commenting about no one running on the fireground.. After 30 years in the fire service I've had that said to me more than once.. Sorry if I zinged you by accident.
It is absolutely stupid to run at a fire scene, especially carrying 60 lbs of gear..zaffdoc..try it sometime of, oh, don't trip over hoses, bodies or get burned!
Yea it's hard enough to deal with the family trying to run into the house. And help your brothers I have been a volunteer for 3 years and it's all I do is run all over the place getting stuff for people cause I'm a explorer.
It always amazes me watching fire fighters WALKING, yes WALKING around. I guess that's what working within a seniority system will do to you - get you into the job welfare mindset.
@RobertMOdell I guess what you are saying is that they should be running around like chickens with their heads cutoff and not worry about having their hose lines charged with water, and not to worry about sizing up the situation, but just go charging in to the house at the first opening. Your comment represents what most people that know absolutely nothing about firefighting usually think
@zaffdoc Riiiiiiight. This isn't their first fire. When the truck comes to a stop (hopefully parked stretegically so as to minimize the time it takes to get the lines charged), those with that responsibility should hustle getting them charged right away. Upon seeing flames while the vehicle is still in motion coming to a stop one can already know that water will be needed. Duh.
@RobertMOdell Perhaps you are looking at a different video than I have posted here. They got the bulk of the fire out fast and did an outstanding job. In fact, I had to render the video in slow motion to be able to see the flames that were engulfing the front of the house they knocked them down so fast.
I would love to see you turn up to a building burning at 1,200 degrees plus, lugging a high pressure hose, and heavy breathing equipment. You can't just go in there without looking at the situation first, that is how people die!
@samthehamcam Calm down. The fire dept. did an outstanding job - no matter what you say. How do you know that I know nothing about fire firefighting? Are you Clairvoyant?
@RobertMOdell Hey Rob, the idea of walking is to stop adreniline rush that can come with such events, helps to keep focused and not get excited and maybe miss something. Be happy be safe out ther - Aiya 5705
@RobertMOdell apparently your not a firefighter. The first thing your taught is, never ever, run on a fire scene. Its not safe and doesn't look professional and accomplishs nothing. I'm a firefighter for over 16yrs and If you see me running, you better be on my coat tails cause something is horriabley wrong. We are taught, we risk alot to save a life, we risk little to save little, we risk nothing to save a structure. The home will be replaced, the firefighter will not.
@RobertMOdell as far as entering and saving someone.....this is a no win situation. We have a term, viability....this situation didn't allow for any successfull rescue, but would have placed the firefighters in a very dangerous situation. Yes, we hate to lose any life, but the facts are, we will not save everyone and we will not kill a firefighter to save a non-viable life.
@RobertMOdell I'm not going to yell or insult you here. We walk for a few reasons. One we wear gear that adds around 80-100 pounds of weight and if we were to run with the gear on we would become exhausted faster and not be able to do the work we need to. Two it is not safe for us to run. When all geared up we have limited vision and tripping becomes a realistic hazard. A good trip can hurt, but tripping with an ax or another tool can be much worse.
You need a reality check big guy. Try to carry over 60 pounds of gear everywhere and keep up a good enough stamina to go inside with only a limited amount of air. While you know that there are kids inside so your main priority is search and rescue and fire attack.
@MegaAndrewn On a lazy summer afternoon tragedy struck when a couple of kids playing with matches set their house on fire and died as a result. Shreveport, Louisiana. Summer of 1992
@dved2265 Actually, it was grandma who should have been watching them. No matter what you say about her she will be devastated by the loss of her grandchildren the rest of life. She will relive it over and over in her mind and never be able to forgive herself.
ok i have read alot of the post ans i am in agreence with all the comments regarding being unable to save the kids. now all the idiots who kno nothin need to just shut up.
i am in trianing for my FF1 right now and even b4 the classws, i knew not to be a hero and go in. great job guysm you did all you could, and RIP kids, hope you get another chance in a different life.
Yeah i WANT to say go save the children and drag them out safely for the firefighters, but i also value the life of a firefighter since im going to be one. If these kids were little as described on the other comment, then YES no way they would not last minutes in that heat. With all the blaze, the smoke, suffocation, just tragic. But yes i agree that if the firefighter rush to save them, it would've been a wasted effort.
I don’t blame it in the children they are only children it our responsibility as parents teachers police and fire fighters to educate the children as to how tragic playing with fire can really be it time we take the gloves off and start showing stuff like this to children and only then can we get the true message across may god rest the souls of the 2 children that were lost and it rest on the souls of the parents that they could have prevented this horrific loss
@nevinconstantin Ahh, don't say that. They probably were never told about the dangers of playing with matches. I don't think they were that far from wearing diapers.
@thaiikid From the looks of the fire, by the time the nearest companies arrived the house was probably fully engulfed. No chance of entry, even with our protective gear.
U 7 month ago writers...stop your cursing. Hell a hot place like the fire. The Lord said, Let no corrupt communication come out of your mouth, You need God's spirit to come into you and put his nature in you and he'll take the cuzzer out. U can't blame the parent or grandmother. Kids get into mischief and it just takes a second for their curiosity to take over and light a match or whatever took place on that day. Accidents happen, important message to inform your kids the dangers matches
@dawnhill1967 That was the grandmother screaming. She was babysitting them and will feel guilty the rest of life for not watching them closer. Can you imagine the anguish she felt losing two of her grandchildren in such a horrible way?
@dawnhill1967 naww, by the time the video starts, the kids were already dead I bet. Most people die in the first 5 minutes of the fire. That was just some woman spazing out.
According to BC Dave Dodson ("The Art of Reading Smoke") and my own personal observation, fire grows 10-fold in seconds, under certain circumstances...
And even if you don't die playing with fire !........think about being horribly burned and in pain for the rest of your life. Pity for all concened here.........Kilds ! Fire Hurts ! Parents teach your kids how to master Fire...... " Fire is a good servant but a cruel master "....... just telling them " don't play with matches/fire " ain't enough !
God Bless the kids who died in the fire and they're family even if it is a long time ago.
God Bless

When the truck comes to a stop (hopefully parked stretegically so as to minimize the time it takes to get the lines charged), those with that responsibility should hustle getting them charged right away. Upon seeing flames while the vehicle is still in motion coming to a stop one can already know that water will be needed. Duh.

@RobertMOdell Perhaps you are looking at a different video than I have posted here. They got the bulk of the fire out fast and did an outstanding job. In fact, I had to render the video in slow motion to be able to see the flames that were engulfing the front of the house they knocked them down so fast.

@RobertMOdell You're an idiot.
I would love to see you turn up to a building burning at 1,200 degrees plus, lugging a high pressure hose, and heavy breathing equipment. You can't just go in there without looking at the situation first, that is how people die!

@RobertMOdell apparently your not a firefighter. The first thing your taught is, never ever, run on a fire scene. Its not safe and doesn't look professional and accomplishs nothing. I'm a firefighter for over 16yrs and If you see me running, you better be on my coat tails cause something is horriabley wrong. We are taught, we risk alot to save a life, we risk little to save little, we risk nothing to save a structure. The home will be replaced, the firefighter will not.

@RobertMOdell as far as entering and saving someone.....this is a no win situation. We have a term, viability....this situation didn't allow for any successfull rescue, but would have placed the firefighters in a very dangerous situation. Yes, we hate to lose any life, but the facts are, we will not save everyone and we will not kill a firefighter to save a non-viable life.
NukeUrNeighbors 1 year ago
@RobertMOdell I'm not going to yell or insult you here. We walk for a few reasons. One we wear gear that adds around 80-100 pounds of weight and if we were to run with the gear on we would become exhausted faster and not be able to do the work we need to. Two it is not safe for us to run. When all geared up we have limited vision and tripping becomes a realistic hazard. A good trip can hurt, but tripping with an ax or another tool can be much worse.

You need a reality check big guy. Try to carry over 60 pounds of gear everywhere and keep up a good enough stamina to go inside with only a limited amount of air. While you know that there are kids inside so your main priority is search and rescue and fire attack.

Mike56034 1 year ago 2
Yeah i WANT to say go save the children and drag them out safely for the firefighters, but i also value the life of a firefighter since im going to be one. If these kids were little as described on the other comment, then YES no way they would not last minutes in that heat. With all the blaze, the smoke, suffocation, just tragic. But yes i agree that if the firefighter rush to save them, it would've been a wasted effort.

I don’t blame it in the children they are only children it our responsibility as parents teachers police and fire fighters to educate the children as to how tragic playing with fire can really be it time we take the gloves off and start showing stuff like this to children and only then can we get the true message across may god rest the souls of the 2 children that were lost and it rest on the souls of the parents that they could have prevented this horrific loss

U 7 month ago writers...stop your cursing. Hell a hot place like the fire. The Lord said, Let no corrupt communication come out of your mouth, You need God's spirit to come into you and put his nature in you and he'll take the cuzzer out. U can't blame the parent or grandmother. Kids get into mischief and it just takes a second for their curiosity to take over and light a match or whatever took place on that day. Accidents happen, important message to inform your kids the dangers matches
