Gary Firefighters Keep A Structure Fire In Check On 2-26-10

At 10:25 GFD was toned out for a reported still alarm at 2441 Central Ave, 137 being first on scene advised of light smoke showing. The crew from Engine 12 made entry and knocked the fire down quickly. The resident and her small child made it out safely, crews remained on scene for about 30 minutes cleaning up. Great job by GFD 3rd turn

Gary, Indiana?

[mabas21]

@kurnellampdwarf Yes it is

This fire was a one room job, the chauffer or whatever he is at the front door isnt gonna get hurt. Why does every person on youtube or FF forums feel the need to nit pick every dept. apart? You see guys in Detroit and D.C. up on roofs with no air pack and noone has the balls to say anything to them. why because theyre the one gettin it done.

[mabas21]

@jacobstern14048 Because the common couch potato and or armchair qb has nothing better to do than critique everyone but themselves. I agree 100% with you and feel the fd did a fine job. Some people have nothing better to do other than bad mouth other departments. It's easy to hide behind a computer screen

@Dusco25 Not very smart are you. Its called venting the structure to prevent a flashover or rollover.You need brain cells.

[Dusco25]

why would they give it more air to feed on.... These guys need to be more trained

[rgaj77]

ha looks like i need to find a job on this department you guys get alot of fires

[abzvinny318]

Jesus, this city seems to see a lot of fire. Especially for one its size.

[firefighter3129]

Come on kurnellampdwarf. Every firedept across the word, im pretty sure has the same sops and sogs, this job is dangerous enough as it is, so why put ur self in even more of harms way by not wearing your SCBA in a area that is highly toxic, not chirping the department at all, i am just saying be safe about it.

[tazz042002]

nice job guys 

[LindstromLafferty]

Most of the so called firefighting experts thats are always finding fault with everyone. Most of you dont have the courage to tell everyone your name and where you live or to contact that departments Chief and tell him your thoughts. . Some depts out there are having money,management, manpower,and Moral is at an all time low in the Fire Service.Yet these people go to work and endure what they endure and then have to read all this expert advice. Im sure you experts are dept training officers.

@43firerescue BTW, this isn't anything I came up with myself, it's stuff smart old smoke eaters taught me. I'm STILL learning.

[ffjsb]

@43firerescue No, he probably wasn't going to die from any injury on a fire that size. But the fact is he could be injured, even severely, and that would require additional resources to take care of him. Not to mention lost work days, pain and suffering. Not the worst mistakes ever made, but something to learn from. Like I said, if he had at least a helmet and gloves, and used a pike pole for a little distance he'd be good. Guys have been killed on dumpster fires, don't get complacent.
