So many volunteers showed up from work. Great job guys and gals.

@steve Doty that’s what we do bro!!!!

Nice stop gents

What’s with the guy wearing a jacket , helmet, boots…….. and shorts ? What help was he expecting to be ?

This is a great example of a CAFS system in action. The fire remains extinguished when it is used. This is a wonderful tool for departments with initial low-manpower. I wonder if the chief did a 360 walk-around... great job though!

The Ferrara Intruder II is normally equipped with a 1,000 gallon tank From the looks of it they may have barely used even half of it before the tanker supply

@@virgilhilts3924 - thanks for the info. I have no idea of which fire trucks are and what they can carry. Still a good job in knocking down a pretty good size going fire.

500 gallons will put out a lot of fire if the nozzle guy/gal will utilize water efficiently!

The majority of residential fires can be extinguished with the water they brought with them. Just because they don't doesn't mean they can't.

@@Tanks_In_Space These guys showed they cared with smoke hustle. I pointed out how that hustle could be put to better and more efficient use. Volunteers are people who want to help their community. Full time paid firefighters, for the most part, graduated from high school, realized they didn't want to really work for a living and decided to become an instant hero in the eyes of the general public, in the fire service without having to get shot at like in the military. I don't care what they say, there's a lot of that in their intensions. All you have to watch how USA firefighters move to see what their work ethic is. You can see how poorly trained they are by how they apply themselves and the water.

That was my same thought -- too bad the engine doesn't look as sharp as the tanker. 🙂

Don't worry about the car.

@@richardjaneway8499 at that point there was minimal fire from the car. So yes due to the structure was still actively burning.

Roof ventilation is something that started in the US, due to he architecture mainly in apartment buildings, where loft access is often poor. Ventilating without water available below increases the fire and water pumped downwards through the hole completely bypasses the fire, destroys everything below and runs out through the front door. A small hole punched through the ceiling, followed by IMMEDIATE use or water on a fully diffused jet, bounces off the inside of the roof, putting a large area of fire out. The rigid high pressure hosereels as used in he UK can achieve this within one minute of arrival and on the tank water.

@@wilsjane If you knew what you were actually talking about then you would understand that Vertical ventilation is used not to control the fire spread it is used to ventilate the structure of heat and particulates which make it much harder to see and effectively fight the fire. As for your high and mighty high pressure hoses comment well lets just say Windsor Castle. Summerland Resort. Kings Cross, all major fires in the UK.

Volunteer fire brigade ladders and saws can be stored on an engine and deployed as needed. I know because I was a volunteer firefighter in Beaverlodge Alberta Canada where we use pretty much the same equipment and I was qualified NFPA level 1 firefighter.

I've been in the fire service 14 years as a volunteer we have only cut event hole one time in the roof you do not always have to cut a ventilation hole into the roof we take pipe poles and pull the ceiling tile down you can still check for extension through the roof that way it's safer and effective they did everything that I have been doing for years. When he got the tack line out the pump operator should have laid a 50-ft section could have been two or three out so when the next truck pulls up all you have to do is clip in and get water immediately you don't always have to pull the supply line to Yellow hose

Always can spot a truckie. You guys think evey fire requires a roof vent. Silly, irresponsible and overused tactic. It has its place, but rarely needed. You guys are always trying to justify your job.

Yea and that’s why vollies end up on HIHFTY…….. if you can’t pass a physical you shouldn’t be anywhere near a fire truck or any equipment

@@christianhaupt2637 Still, its hard to be critical of a guy that does when others don't.

@@paulladuke2259 Respectfully, It’s not being critical when it’s a safety issue.

Reminds me of those FFs that say "if you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch!" Well, with that philosophy, a lot of FFs sit on the porch waiting for someone the drive the trucks.

@@EyeWatchThemAll Well it’s upto Departments to train the members sitting on the porch to be able to drive the fire apparatus, so they can bring fire apparatus to the scenes. If you aren’t training the membership and allowing them to use that knowledge and training you are only failing the public. However, there still needs to be a very clearly defined line where a member regardless of his or her intent on providing for the public, needs to be taken out of service for their safety and everyone else’s. Any good Driver/Pump Operator should be throwing ladders, starting saws, flaking lines out, etc now I highly doubt that individual regardless of how much good intent he may have, is capable of doing those tasks in a quick and safe manner.

Yes,but the Tender crew needs to work on learning how to supply the attack Engine with water faster.

They are VOLUNTEERS, which now a days are VERY hard to come by in this country!

I can also not see what is happening all around the building and what eventual hazardous materials ther were so it could be "the right way" the way they extinguished this fire.I do not know.I am Dutch.

House was saved, but a lot of damage...

It's another timber home so do the math.

Their chief felt the same way and he set them straight.

He showed up. Gotta give him respect.

Same with the hillbilly running around with a cowboy hat on and a portable…

Why dont you find out the answer to your question and Join a volunteer fire department

I would have to leave that question to the firefighters. My formal training in that area is limited.

No, actual fire I came across on a drive home.

You could run a line from your couch....instead of wasting time posting on You Tube.

Apparently the person just abandoned the car...

some cars if the brakes go, putting it in park doesnt work, but still have the e-brake

Took bloody long enough to get sorted. Shockingly poor.

@@andyoxleyonhistravels Exeter is one the typical back woods fire departments in Rhode Island. Not a lot of fire or calls in that area.

@@hihfty I gathered that from watching the video. Are the majority of departments like that ?

@@andyoxleyonhistravels no most volunteer departments are not like that. I use to work on the Rescue In Exeter, before the fire district took over and got rid of the full time union guys that were actually crossed trained EMTS/FIREFIGHTERS . Now they are just emts with no union because the fire district doesn't like unions so now you have to wait to get firefighters there. But yes response times in that town are very bad . Especially in Exeter #2 area sometimes they don't get out at all and have to call another town to come in. It's bad in that town.

@@Brian13549 Seems to be a fairly familiar thing over there ?

Car's gas tank was still full of fuel that could've lit off next to them and ended badly. Looks like they were throwing some sort of foam on the whole fire. 2 lines would've been better, but I'm not from there and don't know their water supply situation.

saw that let the car burn...save the structure...

I did!

Yes, the car was already totaled.

A good question. Possibly he has no experience with what can happen during a situation like that.

In the end, the building was saved. Damage yes, but fixable.

Biden?

@@MidnightPolak LOL. nice one .

@@tomatoes3 Someone mentioned that he was the tanker driver, who had to give up as a volunteer due to arthritis in his legs. No doubt, while his tanker was discharging, he was saying hello to some of his old buddies. Here in the UK volunteers in remote areas become like a family.

@@wilsjane thank you for the explanation, makes a lot of sense.

Another person had done that. The building is vacant.

and i wanted mine over easy....not burnt....

@@omaufdxj446 I know. I was wondering why he thought it was a good idea to meander around an active fire in flip=flops.

😏

It was a vacant building. Other people had already done that though.

Unless the car is parked inside the garage, whatever is the point to park so close to a house or building? Drivers must not have watched many YT car fire videos. Park a little distance away. Good exercise to walk a little.

wth??? 3 hrs.....tankers should have been right behind the first to arrive....

@@fredbiden868 I meant it as one of those meme you see in a video when you are waiting for something to happen.

@@MrHarryhere69 ok its alright..all is well n good..

Well, it is Rhode Island,..
