I hate how most of the firefighters just stand around instead of trying to put the fire out...

[SeanBlackPhotography]

@bnsf4 I hate how people talk shit when they don't know whats going on.

Most likely they're RIT, and their job is to stand there in case they're needed. They go in if something goes wrong.

If you pay attention, you'll notice a hose line advanced in the front door. That means they're "putting the fire out". You can't send everyone inside to do the same job, theres not enough room.

Where is this? Is this a career or volunteer FD?

@MettaFireRescue

Wichita, KS

"Career" Dept. The guy you see dragging hoseline is a fire fighter that lived down the street.

OMG I love reading all the comments from all the youtube firefighters!!! I would love to see some of you try to put out a trash can fire!!

@SeanBlackPhotography well explained, and @bnsf4, they send one team in to do the job, they arent going to send four in at once so they have more bodies to worry about. The crews on the front lawn are more then likely the F.A.S.T team or the RIT team. They could be also waiting to overhaul, or to relieve the interior attack crews. So dont jump to conclusions.

@superbuff861 most ladder trucks into world have prepiped monitors on the end... At least all the modern trucks i've seen

[e1cdt6079a]

@TheWaynelds and while you were doing that would die of smoke inhalation and heat. Fighting fire is not a quick process when its in the attic of a house. This was well done most buses that are this well involved early on burn down. If it was this homeowner or residents in the community i would ask my city council why my fire department didn't have a ladder or areal apparatus.

@jk1320m the fire is ventilated through the roof and the rear window. Positive pressure tactics are becoming more and more common. This fire was cooking and without the positive pressure attack the fire would have progressed much further

Kinda odd, dusty colored smoke coming from the bottom portion of the garage.

[iamcintyre]

so heres an idea...im no expert but while you are waiting for the garge to light of wet it...with a hose.

@TheWaynelds I don't know the story on this fire or what personnel was were but if you have firefighters inside the house it is not unusual to have a team outside the house waiting to go in just in case firefighters go down etc. So while some firefighters may look like they are standing around doing nothing in fact they have a very important job at the time.

@TheWaynelds There IS water being put on that fire. You can see the color of the smoke changing and when the guy with the camera goes to the rear you can see water and roofing material shooting up out of the hole the fire made. It doesn't always go out easily, lads. No, the idea is to put the fire out without blowing the heat and toxic gas into the faces of firemen/victims inside the structure. That means venting and opening up voids first. Read a manual at least before commenting.
