he probably cant control that sadly, likely a free editor that watermarks stuff. HBF if youre reading this, try davinci resolve, its free with no watermarks.

Thanks ill give it a shot!​@@OnionRingsGaming

Yea. I was with a small volunteer department and for a while our first out/best unit was a pumper/tanker. On a fire like this our standard approach would have been at least TWO (2) 1 1/2 (1 3/4 with 1 1/2 fittings) handlines attacking the fire from OUTSIDE the building, until we knew there was little danger or explosions. Once those pressurized bottles were located and cooled THEN we would make entry, maybe. This fire quite probably could have been extinguished with an exterior attack alone.

It’s best to not comment if you don’t know what you are talking about. This was actually just a very small fire, just a culvert pipe they were cutting and it had tar inside of it that caught.

@@zackp__13 Small fire, large fire does not matter. You treat them all the same. Disobeying the orders of a command officers is still NOT TO BE PREMITTED, EVER! This guy was reckless. Even if this was a small fire you still take DUE CAUTION for all of the explosion hazard present and approach it like it is ready to explode because you just don't fully know what us going on inside of that fire. Pull you lines, get some cooling going on, the enter CAUTIOUSLY. This is an industrial site and you don't know what all is in there that can go BOOM! Better to let a little more material get blackened than have to go to a fire fighters funeral.

@@Jason-7212 that’s one of the foolish comments I’ve ever read, no fire is ever handled the same as another. Yes you may use some of the same tactics and etc. but it’s never the same just to many variables. However you are correct about disobeying an officer. But if you watch the video I wouldn’t say he completely disobeyed him. He went in maybe 5 to 8 ft. And cooled it as he was told and then proceeded in.

@@zackp__13 Disobeying an order from command on a safety issue like this by a foot or 10 foot is the same. AND You still DO NOT ENTER a potential explosive environment AT ALL until you have minimized the risk of explosions. Your argument does not hold water. Small fire, large fire. the basic tactics are the same. Cool possible explosion hazards, protect other exposures, contain fire, then extinguish. Enter into a burning structure don't happen until you have two (2) lines on the ground, and four (4) fire fighters available. MINIMUM! No entry is made until there is a safety line ready! This guy broke ALL the rules, Plus orders from Command.

Thanks for the tip I appreciate that

It’s called trusting the guys coming off the rig, nothing to do with a false sense of security.

What part of the driver being distracted from the road by asking for orders are you considering driving responsibly? It isnt... it's distracted driving and puts the entire crew in jeopardy... the officer in the front seat works the radios and sirens ... asks for orders and issues orders to his crew... the drivers sole job till he hits the scene and hits the air brake is eyes on the road and hands on the wheel

Cause the guy knows what he’s doing. The chief needs to let the men work

@@spanky8220 You have no idea what its like on a fireground obviously.

@@spanky8220 but he told him there was a certain chemical inside. Some chemicals are worse than others.

He only pushed in 5 to 8 ft. and cooled it down before going further, I think he’ll be alright

Damn

That was my first thought too. He isn't paying full attention to the road in that case

different department different way of running the engine. Not wrong just different.

@davidlenzi3551 I took a Defensive Driving Course specifically for driving fire apparatus and the driver should be paying attention to the road, not using the radio. If he hits someone and they prove he wasn't alone, had a front seat passenger, he will be at fault. Don't care, drivers job is to get the crew there safely, period

my thoughts exactly. The driver should be paying attention to the road. The person in the captain's seat should be in charge of the Engine. Plus no one has a single-seat belt on.

All you expert drivers should just stfu.

It’s all about him… finest listen to command, MY line, and they dine know which line they’re pulling? So many wrongs here.

Command said “stay out of here until you cool it down” he did his job he put water on it and cooled it down. He was being aggressive and saved the building. Your comment makes you sound like the guy who does the bare minimum on a fire and post on Facebook later about being a fireman. We (obviously not you and then some) signed up for this job to protect LIFE and PROPERTY. Safety is ruining the fire service. We do this job FOR THEM and not ourselves. We are all just a number but when you leave a department just know that NOBODY remembers a safe fireman. Be aggressive, change the culture, and lord have mercy vent then damn roof.

@@C-money-11 There is a difference between 'Being aggressive' and 'Being Stupid'. What is Rule#1 you are taught at fire school? Don't become a casualty. Rule# 2, Obey Command. His officers ORDERED him to stay out. I have found multiple fires with propane, butane, acetylene, oxygen,, and LPG bottles involved. In EVERYONE the first rule is ALWAYS cool before approach. Yes, there are times that you have to for rescue purposes, but NO building is worth the life of a fire fighter. You can be aggressive in the attack WITHOUT entry or approaching too close to a pressurized cylinder with flame impingement. It's called fighting SMARTER. Racing in to "Put Wet Stuff on the Red Stuff' is a recipe to get people hurt. Times change. Hazards have changed. Tactics have changed.

@@C-money-11you’re def a volley

If you actually pay attention and watch the video he only went in about 5 to 8 ft and cooled it down exactly like he was told, so not sure exactly what you’re talking about?

So you like to just save the foundation?

Why not come off the rig ready to work? There were other officers there that have already done 360’s and gave orders.

And he’s on the pipe. If your taking that right front seat, your job changes, your no longer on the pipe, just things that don’t fly around where we are.

He’s riding the officer seat but he’s also the pipe man. Pipe man masks up for known fires. It’s how aggressive and competent firefighters operate. Dude did great. Couldersport is obviously not his only rodeo.
