yes it is a tough call , depends on the experience of the firefighters ,and to the chief that said , no 1.75 " inch hose , shows to me u dont understand the hose cause with that size hose and a good nozzle u can flow up to 250 gpm's with it, everyone should be in scba that is on the fireground period, and i wasnt there but i been doing it for 37 years.
Tough call to make I say stay out. Not worth it. We had a fire just like this, we went in and found 2 people. One in the hallway and the other wrapped up in drapes on the side of the bed in rear bedroom. Bad ending...
Really, whats point of staying in. Nothing savable, if anybody is inside their dead and property is gone. When you do save something like this, its just going to get bulldozed down. Just risking lives for nothing.
How about you poke holes in the ceiling as you go, then your attic fire would have been found earlier. I see half the people without air packs and nobody with a tool in their hand. Get in with the line, open up as you go and hit the bulk of the fire. People got hurt because you didn't put water on the bulk of the fire.
I like the hussle of some of the guys but I think you need some tactics classes.
to save life and property, right? No one was in there, and if they were, with fire like that...they aren't anymore. and the house was totaled anyway. I don't see any need to go in there
Leave the PPV on the engine for frame dwellings. Remember STAY LOW! Forget the 1.75" lines with a large amount of fire. They are meant for 1,2, maybe 3 rooms max. Firefighters without scba are worthless. And yes, with the fire over their heads such as this, there is nothing to save...back out, go defensive. They WERE in 'mortal danger". Problem is TOO MANY armchair, and other officers don't know the difference. No, I wasn't there. Didn't have to be to make these comments.
wow, luckly no one was killed on this one. If you can't vent it don't go in. Excellent video for vent training and id'ing significant changes in conditions and changing tactics.
@L2175 What do you mean "lucky no one was killed"? The house was empty. It didn't look to me like any firefighters were in mortal danger. Maybe someone could've gotten their ears burned. Just playing armchair quarterback, but I think an interior attack through the back door, coordinated with a ppv fan set up at the back door might have been a good way to attack this fire.
