The Denver Drill (Part 1)

Denver Firefighters show the original video of the Langvardt fire, tell their story of what happened and demonstrate the Denver Drill. Firefighters say that if guys like Dan Metherd couldn't pull Langvardt out, nobody could, so it's important to remember that technique is the key. Also noted in the video is Cheif Dave McGrail who co-authored the Fire Engineering article shortly after the event. I made this video so that firefighters across the country could see and hear the story from people that were actually there. I encourage firefighters to train and try this method if they haven't already. If you have any questions you can contact Captain Murphy at robert.murphy@denvergov.org or myself at dfdfireman@gmail.com.

great video. Sad to see one of our own go down but what was a bad situation turned into a great training opportunity and will hopefully save many firefighters one day.
