The only issue I have with this is the roof crews are not breathing air. Yes training is important but training right and safe is more so. Too many FF's are lost during "Training"
Something must have been seriously fucked up with frame work or the foundation as I see no other reason for why the owner would want to level his house which looks to be a fairly decent upscale home.
@ArizonaChris96 could have termites or roaches or be so obsolete or a bad setup
I work with remodeling and renovating apartments and some of the stuff I see would be cheaper to demolish and build new then try to straiten out the old stuff .
It will be cheaper to build a new house and it will be a NEW HOUSE
The training process is all part of the cruel game fire fighters face day in, day out. Without such training lives would be lost. I know of a fire-fighter, who little girls says to her daddy, am I going to see you later ? "Sad" wondering if daddy's coming home, but it is the fact of a fire-fighters life. So for them that go and starting fires for fun, please consider the dangers all fire fighters face along with consequence of a destroyed family if a fire fighter dies due to arson.
@Knightlite1 oh okay. Where there any Middlebury Juniors there? Because I'm on the Watertown's Junior Corp. and I was just wondering if the are able to do stuff like this.
@klebz07 Juniors were there and were allowed to control the masterstreams on the outside. They were NOT allowed to go on the roof or go inside as I remember. There was one Junior from Watertown there.
@klebz07 Im on the Middlebury Juniors, we are very limited on doing things such as this as most junior corps are, I went to burns at the fire school and we can not go into the burn building. But we were allowed to help out and clean up.
@simplexalarm114 Yeah, Watertown Juniors are limited to doing this also. I don't mind though. Doing other stuff is prepping us for joining the regular department!
the owner requested that to save them money read and ya will see the reason behind it but in my personal opinion i would not have done it at all fires are not a play with it's not a troy
in my town theres a burnt down house on Purpose cause it was to much money but the lady who owned the house still lives in the hut shes mental but she wrote on the walls in BLOOD TRESPASERS WILL BE SHOT SERVIVERS WILL BE SHOT AGIAN and some ppl from my class went there and 2 of them were held Hostage one of them had a baseball bat and she took it and smacked on of them in the Stomach and dropped it and digged her nails into his sholder meanwhile the otherone picked up the baseballbat and
When i was a teenager, we had a chimney fire, the fire dept respoinded and put it out, and then we found out that they were going to have training the next day on .... how to put out a chimney fire !. They got trained a day early.
What state was this filmed in? In our state (SC), we must remove the roofing material from the house before we can burn it. Also, interesting wall decorations beginning at 3:48.
Just curious as to why there were so many FF on the in initial attack line ? also noticed that the guys on the roof were not working from the roof ladder and one FF though donning his B.A did not have his face piece on when heavy smoke was billowing out around him, yes its only training but should be practicing the same as if it was any structire fire. Utilize the Safety Officers who could of picked up on it, other than that, great video guys and tks for posting.
@bobsirebob Maybe the training was the evolution of fire, not the control or extinguishment. Not all firefighter training revolves around getting the wet stuff on the red stuff. It is a science and should be treated as such. Please, do everyone a favor and think before you comment.
heh watched a house burn down in front of me today was pretty intense propane tanks exploding and flames shot up from roof into a big tree and burnt like half of it lots of fire dep ppl get thr house was fucked anyway
@GWOPPGETTER , dude, it was a house the owners wanted burned down, to give the volunteer firefighters, who, have other lives and jobs, and sometimes only get a couple hours training a month, and a few fire calls a year, an opportunity to get in and feel the heat, darkness, smoke, flame of being in a burning building along with fighting the fire from the inside, and then how to maintain a blaze in the event a real structure in not salvageable. Vol. dept do this all the time.
@GWOPPGETTER Fire departments do this all the time, when there is a house that a bank cant sell they let the fire department use it for training, and when the fire department is done with the house they let it burn down.
If you knew a fucking thing about firefighting you see that there were like 10 people go in at once. On a REAL house fire, usually 2-3 go in together as a team.
@TheDonny03 , and spent several thousands of dollars hiring a company to come in and do it and haul all of the materials off safely, and deprive the FD of important training. also, before most controlled burns like this, that states fire marshall, comes through and checks to make sure no hazardous materials are in the building, and requires any that he finds before he/she signs a burn permit for that dept. to burn the building
We had a town nearby where i live in germany. it was called "Otzenrath" and the whole village has been demolished and torn down due to quarrying of coal.
And a few houses were also used for firefighting-practise-purposes which made this ghost-town even spookier...
Otzenrath was just one of these villages among 4 or 5. Check Wiki "Tagebau Garzweiler"
The people who owned this house went around the house before it was burned and drew things on the wall. All sorts of stupid stuff like the one you see there. I guess they did not have much respect for their home.
We did not see this until after the shot was up here. The firefighter in the picture is setting the house on fire to be burned down.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
why did you burn down a house, i know its training but go to the training area, they could of demolished the house instaed so they wouldent infect the earth with more dangerous fumes
@sharky53198, yes they could have gone to a training site, but for a vol. dept. could mean traveling hundreds of miles to find one and might have to pay to use it. and it isnt the same experience, sure you have a safe tower that burns, but you don't have the experience to control an external blaze simulating a fully engulfed blaze, also, the state fire marshall goes through all training houses and makes sure all hazardous materials are removed.
Do you actually believe we would set a house on fire, and somehow forget to bring an engine or two? I believe the entire fleet was there at the ready along with a swimming pool truck full of 7000 gallons of water. Master streams set up on all exposures.
while they were burning the house down starting at about 6 minutes in, what were they using the line for? was there an unseen exposure? or were they just training in hose opperations?
There was a pile of junk a little way from the house out of camera view. The person who wanted the house burned down did not have it far enough away, so we tried to set up a little water curtain to preserve it.
The other parts where you see the hoseline shooting water up in the air was to try to protect a really cool looking tree that was close to the house. There was an attempt to try to save it, but it was just too close.
here in new york we can no longer do live fire training do to some firefighters dieing in a training fire we still do ventilation training with out fire.
Again, the purpose of this exercise was to burn the house down, not put the fire out.
We had training evolutions where we set some small fires with pallets and hay to let some of our new guys get familiar with the darkness, smoke, and heat. No big fires. We knocked them all down.
When everyone had their turn, we burned the house down as planned.
Ive been on the roof with just about as much before. Holes were cut, and we quickly got off the roof. Sometimes there will be that much fire present, but the roof wont be involved yet. Oh, and they probably got clearance first before burning an ENTIRE HOUSE down. For shit's sake, our department needs clearance to burn our propane prop. This is prob. in the middle of nowhere, and not many citizens reside there that could breath that crap.
Gotta love 3:41. This is more of a video for arsonist to get their rocks off with then a training video. To many things going wrong in the vid to be training. Looks like a bunch of fire bugs in turn-out gear to me.
Actually it's not a training video but a video of a training day. I think the real goal of the video is to give non-fire fighters a glimpse of what it's like.
jammvonk is correct. It is a video of the MVFD training. The end goal for the entire day was to indeed burn the house down so the owner could build a new one in its spot.
Actually NO. Don't let the video fool you - there were 3 seperate evolutions with fire from hay and pallets. The main fire was started later and no one was on, in or near the building during that event.
@emtziggy45 There was a lot of smoke but not much fire. Just a few hay bales and some pallets. The shots you saw with a lot of fire, there was no one on the roof.
I take it nobody has read NFPA 1403 or the numerous fatality incident reports related to live-fire training on acquired structures?
Ignoring that for a moment, why are there four guys on the roof - none of whom are on air? Why doesn't anybody have their collar up? Where are the backup water supply and attack lines? And on, and on...
briellebetch, if you would read the description you would know why they didn't put the house out... "The house was then burned to the ground at the owner's request saving the family thousands of dollars in demolition costs".
Protecting the exposures. There is an enormous amount of radiant heat coming off a house fire and they are trying to stop damage to other property while turning the burning house into a carpark!
WOW!!! At 1:16 I'm so suprised to see the "Incident Commander" up on the roof!!! He never trusts his people enough to let them do their job. THANK GOD he's there, otherwise the fires would NEVER go out. At least that's what goes through his head....
I dont think that was the incident commander, I think he's just a chief. Not sure tho, I know some companies around me put their chiefs in that "pinkish" color to distinguish themselves from everyone else. I would assume that he wasn't the IC he was just overseeing the roof operations.
Thats the best way to learn too bad most new fire fighters have to learn when its actually someones house burning. wish we had so building to play with like that
Yeah, we saw that after we made the video. The entire inside of the house was sprayed with graffiti, which we found really strange. We thought how could you do this to your own home? None of the graffiti was drawn by the FD, just the homeowners.
...and the foundation is still standing!

This comment has received too many negative votes show
because they do not know what hey are doing, and have not seen a fire in their career! lol

briellebetch, if you would read the description you would know why they didn't put the house out... "The house was then burned to the ground at the owner's request saving the family thousands of dollars in demolition costs".

But what is the cost for the environment?

@trancis36 who gives a shit, one house fire for training will help them prevent many more from getting too large!

im not sure i wasn't there but im sure they were keeping the air cool and protecting exposers
tuba4fun 3 years ago
Protecting the exposures. There is an enormous amount of radiant heat coming off a house fire and they are trying to stop damage to other property while turning the burning house into a carpark!

after you have conducted as many training evolutions in each room and everyone has learned from it, let the buiding free burn and protect exposures
( any threatened structure within 40 ') dont get anyone hurt and let the building go. Thanks the homeowner for the experience.

Good video except for the porno music.
WOW!!! At 1:16 I'm so suprised to see the "Incident Commander" up on the roof!!! He never trusts his people enough to let them do their job. THANK GOD he's there, otherwise the fires would NEVER go out. At least that's what goes through his head....

I dont think that was the incident commander, I think he's just a chief. Not sure tho, I know some companies around me put their chiefs in that "pinkish" color to distinguish themselves from everyone else. I would assume that he wasn't the IC he was just overseeing the roof operations.

Did the woman own that house?
Jguy365 3 years ago
Yes, the woman in the video owned the house. She wanted to burn it down to build a new one on the same spot.

Yeah, we saw that after we made the video. The entire inside of the house was sprayed with graffiti, which we found really strange. We thought how could you do this to your own home? None of the graffiti was drawn by the FD, just the homeowners.

plz temme y would they burn down the house
aawarrior90 4 years ago
This house was donated to us as they wished to demolish the house.
Two things come from burning the house down:
1. Save the owner money in demolition costs.
2. Get training on a real house fire so that we would be more prepared for when we get another house fire.

For the same reason why they crash new cars, they learn from this and it is good training.
