Crews were dispatched to a reported fire in the 2600 block of Pennsylvania. Engine 4 reported a header while en route and a working fire was declared. On arrival a vacant house that had already burned was on fire and had extended to an occupied 2 story frame house. Crews stretched multiple lines and while trying to make an interior attack conditions quickly took a turn for the worse. After about 30 minutes the fire was brought under control without incident.

  • Can someone tell me what that bell ringing is for?

  • @tdluvs That is to let the firefighters know they need to refill their oxygen tanks

  • @mabas21 They're not oxygen tanks. The tanks hold compressed air, not oxygen.

  • @jagoots The common folks that are not firefighters know it as oxygen, these videos are not posted for only firefighters to watch. A normal person has no clue as to what compressed air is

  • has your videos been used as a training tool for other departments you get some great shots and was just wondering that because your videos show all kinds of conditions and would be good for new firefighting members to view

  • @VicGord I post the videos on here for all to use and offer a dvd set which is about 7 hours of video. I do know a couple of my videos have been used at FDIC which is really cool. These videos should be used to train, they show us how to improve and refine our skills. Thanks for the comment and enjoy the videos!

  • @mabas21 You're absolutely right. However, this is a great way to educate the public. I think if a question like that is asked, you should give them the correct answer. 

  • @ferdnorwalk <=========Must be an axe sniffer.

  • @ferdnorwalk And with all the guys "standing around.". The incident commander could have been conducting a roll call. When the engineer sounds the air horn 3 times do you even know what that means? It means conditions have deteriorated and to get the @&$! out!!

  • @ferdnorwalk A charged line at each window??? Unless you were at the scene keep your mouth shut and keep the comments to yourself. I bet you aren't even a firefighter.
