I was about to comment the same thing. Maybe I’ll turn the volume off and watch.

Yeah, was really interesting listening to the radio calls. Then the lame generic rock soundtrack starts! Have to try to find the original.

Exactly man. I can't watch this video without turning the volume all the way off.

​@@ayo-jb717 same

Me too

Booo, the song was a banger and suited the vid. Public safety? You a council worker or something? Prolly a WHS rep, wanting to spoil peoples fun like this!

I'll never argue with a video rocking the Foo Fighters!

@@dfgiuy22 Or ... it's just someone expressing an opinion calmly, and you're definitely getting too bent out of shape over it.

@@DanknDerpyGamer jeeez mate, if you think thats me bent out of shape then you have little experience in interpreting peoples intentions correctly. Damn i didn't even swear.....

@@dfgiuy22the song was irritating

I think it's badass.

@@ervingxi4259 I think it sucks

Lmfao same thing, I was like uhhh you might want to get closer, oh shit nvm gtfo now!

I don’t get it do their Fire sprinklers spray out glitter? Shouldn’t be a fith alarm fire if sprinklers work

@@AIDannnnnnnnnnnn They had disabled the sprinklers. The city was rather upset when they found out and said it would have only been a 1-alarm had the sprinklers been working.

Nah you’re not old I’m a young ff and I don’t like music in videos like this

WHEN YOU BECOME A FIREFIGHTER ENGINEER FOR 18 YEARS LIKE ME THEN SPEAK YOUR MIND.... YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WE GO THREW.... MUSIC IS THERAPY..... SO SHUT UP DUDE.... WHAT IF IT WAS YOUR HOUSE BURNING AND I PUT MUSIC IN IT..... THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!

@@markpierce3863 I don’t think you get what he said

@@markpierce3863 Bro, I'm retired from the job. Was a FF for over 20. I was fooling around, go buy a box of Kleenex and cry somewhere else. If you're on the job, THAN YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND FF HUMOR. Merry Christmas.

Great video but I agree with some music is distracting and yes I’am a 27 year fire fighter so I’m allowed to comment 🙄

A hispanic probably illegal came into the home depot to steal power tools and started the asphalt shingle section on fire. The plastic wrapping that they were all in went first which was very easy to start and once it got hot enough it melted the shingles themselves setting off a fireball that consumed the store in no time.

@@ForestNinjaZero high heat draws air, so reason why smoke was going toward the fire. They weren’t using enough water and hand lines to do that. Plus. It was a straight stream, so it wouldn’t do that as much as wide fog

@@Tyrogrs1994 Acceleration of mass through the roof and HVAC openings, due to vapor expansion is why structure fires draw air. You're right that the hand lines and streams were not large/wide enough to create the amount of pressure required for the rate of air flow seen in the video.

@ForestNinjaZero Fires draw air cuz that's what it takes to burn. Has nothing to do with hvac systems. Look up fire triangle.

@@jimmccabe801 Please pay closer attention: Materials vaporize at ignition temperature, due to acceleration of particles, which are continuously colliding with atmosphere and surrounding surfaces. As they accelerate, density decreases due to velocity and pressure - they push each other away, and force surrounding gases through openings, such as cracks in doors, HVAC vents, and holes in the roof, which form as it burns. Due to lower density, they're pushed upward toward the higher openings, which causes negative pressure (suction) at lower openings, such as entrances and open/burned windows. This is why firefighters cut roofing and break windows on upper floors prior to interior attack, then enter with a wide stream to push vapor away from their path, for safety and visibility.

For a number of reasons. 1. A ladder has next to no "Angle of Attack" on the burning, material. All they are good for is wetting down floors and filling basements. 2. The fire department leaders haven't trained their firefighters to be surgeons and find the burning material and strategically place the water to stop combustion. 3. They are defeatists or can't Think outside the box and just give up and let the insurance companies deal with it.

@@JB91710 ikr. I was just saying what my chief use to say. Once the ladders go up the building goes down. We mostly used our ladder tower truck as a last resort or something really big.

@@JB91710would it be risky to send them so far into a building with a crappy roof?

@@ronthemogul The roof in those buildings aren't crappy. The faster you put the fire out, the less damage is caused.

@@JB91710 less damage is caused at the risk of the firefighter's safety if they go in any further.

Right?! Psh... Good thing it had a sprinkler system. It litterally did absolutely nothing to save this place.

@@MoreEffinCowbellwhere did it say it had a sprinkler system?

The investigation just finished, they had disabled the sprinkler system.

Volunteer…

Pennsylvania VFDs are infamous on this website lolll

Absolutely! Wonder what the Elkhart XD Ram would have done at this fire with stacked tips. It looks like multiple things were working against fire attack. The fuel load needed more gpm than a 2 1/2 and 1 3/4 could provide. Also stream reach looks like an issue as well. San Jose did an amazing job being on scene fast along with an aggressive fire attack. It’s just crazy how the fuel load of this Home Depot was too much for interior crews.

@@justinnewquist6111 I’ve fought the same fire in an outside lumber yard- stacked tips are risky. If the bundled is banded, great, but when I hit a second tier bundle of 2x4s with a deck gun they went everywhere and the heat release increased. You need an adjustable nozzle- 2 blitz fires would have been interesting in the HD fire- had they been able to supply them. Someone said deck guns, cool, but I don’t know of their willingness to put an engine ($600,000 for a big city custom cab) under the canopy, the horizontal clearance, and the vertices clearance to get the deck gun in service- those doors aren’t that high. Stacks tips would do OK for cooling the roof, but that does address fires in the pallet racking. BTW after the fact it’s is so obvious which bundles were pressure treated ( which were so wet they didn’t burn,) and which ones were banded ( but the fire burnt through a couple of bands) but it’s was impossible to see when on fire. Big box hardware stores scare me - paint aisle- especially the solvents and the pool chlorine surrounded by plastic products. Also the overhead storage in cardboard boxes- at least around here big box hardware stores keep pool chlorine outside- Walmart doesn’t

It was arson and it was lit in multiple places. I’m guessing it just overwhelmed the sprinklers with all the fires started at the same time

Agreed

It was Arson. They believe suspect set a fire intending for it to distract workers so he could shoplift. Unfortunately it got out of control. I'd love to know why the in building fire suppression didn't work as well.

San Jose California

Depends, sprinklers can only do so much. This also being arson the fire was able to have a quick head start and the lumber provided a good fire load.

Arson fire, the guy was arrested shortly after

we dont need a fucking song to accompany the footage .

@@js4187, agreed.

Agree with many others- clearly hearing radio traffic without music would be better. Got me to click on it but didn't stay to the end.
