PGFD - Upper Marlboro Peerless Ave house fire

[riprockvx9]

I would have let that burn to the ground....less work for the County to have bull dozed away.

And even trying an exterior attack with 1 3/4" with that fire load fully involved won't help.

I second 93CFD's call.....get a couple probies on a line or 2 and let em have fun

[Skankpronger]

did he just carry that ladder down there so that one of the guys might trip over it?

[racinjason88]

@Skankpronger There was a crew inside operating on the second floor that came out to the right just as he is going around the back with the ladder.

first time I actually saw a truck crew carrying a rabbit tool.

[racinjason88]

@ntfd125 the old school tool!!!

[93CFD]

nice training fire... give the line to the rookies and let them have a great time...

[racinjason88]

I believe they eventually came.

Why would you even send in a crew on a trash fire??? this is what that is!!!,no one inside would be alive,nothing to save.,seems pump operator didnt know what to do!

[racinjason88]

How do you know that the no one would be alive? I got there about 5-10 minutes after the first arrving units and didn't start video until a few minutes after that. That's what firefighters do, they go into a fire and search, especially that time of the morning on a Sunday. The line that took a little bit to get charged was a back-up line. There was two other crews already inside fighting the fire.

[ffjsb]

@nobleff517 I gotta agree. They needed a 2 or 21/2 also.

[7089540230]

@nobleff517

i agree That has was fully involved...any interior crews would have to be pulled out!!!!!!!!!

[bapabob]

Seemed to take forever to get water on the fire even after the hose was charged. I can't figure out what they were waiting for?

[racinjason88]

There was a crew inside knocking down some fire already. The crew you saw is the backup crew.

[CentralHDTowing]

@bapabob

With crews inside, you do not want to start an exterior attack, because you do not want to push the fire back into those crews

[PMann9321]

At this point, all you can do is just surround and drown.

[rrobertsnot5150]

damn that place was burning up

[pumper8032]

Was this a training burn or an actual call ?

[racinjason88]

An actual house fire, hence the title says Peerless Ave house fire...

[jaw78]

Where you going with that ladder?

[BobthetomatoDc5]

thats what i call fully involved!

[dan4704]

Excellent knockdown!!!
