Between the 3 and 4 minute mark, the signal was given to charge the line. That fire appeared knocked for the most part by the end of the video

@CRonaldo2507 Fire Chief is on record as to having said fire wasn't knocked down until the 30 min mark

Without being part of the fire service, and only basing your ideas of an " ideal fire fighting job " off of Backdraft and Ladder 49, the people making the comments during the filming of this video probably wouldn't have had the knowledge that a typical fire department turn out for a fire is only about 4 or 5 personnel. With this new found knowledge, you might be able to appreciate the job that these brave men and women did that day.

Respond to this video... Your assuming I'm not on the fire service and I have seen two movies. Your also assuming I took this video and I am making comments on it. ALL OF YOUR ASSUMPTIONS ARE WRONG except I am not on the department. All I have done here is post this video to you tube. I do appreciate the job all first responders do everyday.

@TheCodedOne depends where you are. where i live you could have 10 engines. we have a mutual aid system. for a fire the department gets automatic assistance from another department.

@fyrmun37 The color change isnt from steam. Its extreme heat, most likely caused by a fire started with an accelerant. From the second this video started you could tell how hot the fire was, and anyone inside is more than likely dead, before the FD even shows up...not to mention 2 attempted suicides by the occupant. Secondly, you NEVER EVER EVER wait to hook up to a hydrant. You ALWAYS do that first, or simultaneously to the fire attack. What happens when your guys are inside and have no water??

Lmao what do you do again other than puff Peter... Idk even know you but id like to so go ahead send me an email and let me know who you are.... aaronshade@AOL.com unless your to busy blowing the Weston fire department fucking pussy.

@aaronshade Sounds like Weston is a better place not having a piece of dog shit like you living there. If you're such a badass and know so much, how about you leave your dead end concrete job and show them what to do. Oh wait, you've failed every fire exam and can't get your dream job of becoming a CAREER firefighter at a large city department, like 95% of the people up there have. The person that made the mistake was a volunteer and the one that fixed it was a career FF. Get the FACTS, douche

[aaronshade]

not only is weston a worthless town.the weston fire department is a fucking joke.. the only FF worth a fuck is the one that actually tried to do something and ran back to the truck to try to get some water presure... weston fire department needs someone that knows what their doing to come teach them how to put out a fire and not just stand at the door and wish someone would put the fire out...

[bk66661]

Great knockdown? Seriously? Theyre not getting water pressure. Engineer failure? Pump failure? PASS device going off the entire time!!! Fact is, the two firefighters got to the door and waited and waited and waited for water and pressure!!!!!! One of the firefighters from the nozzle had to remove his mask, run back to the fire engine, jump up on the pump panel to try and get pressure. Did you hear him trying to prime the pump? Pump training!! WOW!!!! The 2 ffs at the door needed pressure!!!!!

[rbrewer6175]

Even the police chief made a statement to the local paper that he was on scene first, prior to firefighters and attempted to make entry through the side door. BUT, was pushed back due to the intense heat and smoke. THOSE ARE NOT LIFE SUSTAINING CONDITIONS. This is BEFORE firefighters even arrived.

@MrJphillips488

1809 hours fire dept on scene. 1823 hours fire EXTINGUISHED. Straight from dispatch logs. NOW, if you consider the time to make entry, extinguish a fully involved hallway with a room and contents fire, your 14 minutes to get water doesn't seem to add up. From the time they arrived on scene to the point the entire fire was put out was 14 minutes. Lets go off of FACTS, not assumptions.
