Not sure what happened there. 1st Engine in, a FF runs off the truck, quickly gets a line in place, and then......nothing

What are they tapping a hydrant for? You could have put this out with a garden hose.

It's bad when the cops put out more fire than the first engine

How about a 2 liter bottle of pop and a MENTOS!!!!!!

Over 5 minutes to get water on the fire....way to long.

Maybe they should carry some pre-loaded SUPER SOAKERS!!!!!!!

They were waiting for the fire to get bigger🙄

From the Time they arrived to water flow 3 minutes that kind of fire should have been knocked down under 3 minutes. Pull a trash line charge it spray it fire out

Easy way to spot a "fire department" that doesnt train....it takes over 3 minutes to get water on the fire once arriving on scene.

Good work by the cops slowing down the fire growth by using the extinguisher. Charge the damn line! Near 3 minutes already

I'm sorry why does it take so long to get water on that fire just a bit disorganized...?

Did the fire give up? wasn't like the first due truck put any water on it

Water can????

I cant understand why those firemen WHO where first on the Scene didnt put the fire out. It was such a such a small fire, why wait and look before doing your job. No need for a lot of fire trucks to extinguish a small fire.

This was a very frustrating video to watch, even at the beginning of the cups I just used a couple buckets of water instead of the chemical fire extinguisher it would’ve been out instantly, anyone could’ve grabbed a garden hose and it would be out instantly, instead we wait for the fire department to get there which takes forever, then when they do get there they just run around in circles and still don’t put any water on the fire waiting for it to get bigger🤦‍♂️ I have seen fire department show up to fully engulfed houses and get water on it almost immediately and almost instantly knock It down without even using a fire hydrant, just the water in the tank

How does a post start on fire

Whatever those balcony posts are painted/coated with, it's really flammable...

Any idea why it took so long to charge the first line?

Oh my god, waht a bunch of amateurs. You see the one guy rushing to get the bumper line off, he apparantly doesn't really know how, rush to the fire and then..... nothing for minutes. Come on guys, how long does it take to charge a preconnect ???????

Please give the firefighters proper training All education from fire behavior to operate technical equipment and understanding building constructions would be neccassary for this departement Basic quality training courses must be implementead in the organization with short and longterms goal in each areas Lack of experience and knowledge is nothing we want in the departments It's dangerous for all involved people and specially for the firefighters When will we learn more about methods, fire technology and tactical procedures that we see from other fire departements around the world There have been developments in many areas that we handle but sometimes I have the feeling that we do not follow or see that "We do what we always have done" Sometimes we need to act directly to reach the goal. Here we can improve Time to change our view and look forward

Looked like a decorative siding material...also highly flammable.

Bumper line would have been sufficient if the engineer would have charged the line. Why pull so much hose? You have 500-1000 gallons on a pumper. Please train on fire attack

UK fire fighters would have put that out in less than a minute and gone back for tea and bickys. Andy England 🇬🇧👍

OMG... Pull a booster line and put the fire out. Why did they have to pull 2 1 3/4's for a 4x4 post on fire....

Good try with the dry chem! But a 10 lb will only give 12 to 15 seconds of fighting.

I was impressed with the first guy off the truck hustling and grabbed a line. But where was the water. I'm sure they have at least 300 gallons in the truck

That was ridiculous!!!! Retired Fire.

Great job. I always love watching your content.

A water can could have saved that post. Way to long to put water on that fire.

From 3:10 to 6:15 to get water on the fire. Sad. Should have been 30 seconds.

Watching gave me the feeling they were hoping it would get larger. The amount of time to get water on the fire was frustrating to watch.

Why is the most important element (water) to fighting a fire always take so long to apply???

This is an apartment building not a house. The maintenance people are not going to leave hoses connected as they will surely be stolen. Tank water and a booster line and this should have been out within one minute of arrival. I like how the FFer walked out on the porch with the post burned away.

Just wondering why worry about hooking up to a hydrant? Booster tank water will be plenty. Get a line charged and put it out.

Messy as always ! Nice catch ! Thanks for posting!

3 lines stretched none in operation

On scene line being pulled at 3:20..... no water until 6:07??? Please train more

I liked the way the guy who connected up the fire hydrant then "gave the knee" at 5:06 on his way back to the fire truck. Black lives matter.

Not good for the columns not being a solid support for the balconies

What the hell? A pressurized can would have taken care of that instantly, you have a trash line set up and 500 gals for a quick attack and yet your trying to establish an supply line before you charge the trash line??? This is pathetic. Why not bust out half doz windows for ventilation while your at it?

God Bless our Firefighters

Just a minute away from a lawsuit

Did thay viger out how fire started?

No water until 6:06--why bother showing up?

30 seconds with a water can fire maybe not out but at least contained...

If I was there I know every apartment has a fire extinguisher and I sure would have use them. The fire department took to long.

Ok boys lets pull 7 fuckin inch and a halves get the 5 inch line to the truck for a booster line fire!! Then we can watch it grow so we can cut some holes before we even get a line charged! I was a former Hockey FF and looks to me like we no longer care about getting shit out before more damage gets done!!!

I was thinking maybe they were going to wait til it got to attic before putting it out

I like the figit spinner light on front of the first in. This comes from an 888 lover.😏

All those Fire Trucks for a little fire like that? And then when they get there it takes forever to get some water on the darn thing. You could have put this fire out with a garden hose.

3 minutes to get water!?!?!?!?!? wtf????

Taking long enough

What are they doing? As soon as they arrived they could have solved the problem

That’s kind of an odd place for a fire. I didn’t notice a light fixture, or anything electrical.

If it's electrical first thing is to get the power of

Newsworking always great action

I hope there safe

So many fire engines...

How the hell did that even start?

Why not just drive up to the front of the building, and deck gun it? It would have been out in 20 seconds. No need to stretch a single line. Can't help feel American fire departments are more about the flashing lights, sirens and acronyms sometimes 🤦‍♂️

Good video thank u

No water until 6:15?

Get the chain saw out and start cutting into the roof. Shit, you never know.

Painful.

2 more minutes you could kiss the building gone. What took so 🤯long?

OMG how many hoses do you need to spend time unpacking and laying out for ONE GD POLE ON FIRE??? I could have had that out with a GD garden hose while y'all just stood around watching. Absolutely ridiculous.

How could a post start on fire!? Really!? 🤔🙄😒

Easy to criticize, but the machines they have to work from are 50 years old in some places, they really suck, they really need some new trucks with Ultra high pressure reels .

You can hear smoke alarms from the apartments, but all the fire seems to be limited to that support beam. (How in the world would there ONLY be a fire in that area? The only thing I can think of that could possibly be electrified is a satellite dish.) Couldn’t they use one of those heat detectors to see if there is more fire without tearing so much up? I know it will all have to be replaced to complete repairs, but why more than necessary?

Don’t the ladder appliance carry water? Living in the uk

Awesome footage.

What the hell was that??? Why so many trucks and hoses? I've had bigger fires in my back yard

Umm, why on Earth did that take so long. That should've been out immediately upon arrival.

The only thing I know these guys are in no f****** hurry

It looks like an electrical fire 🔥

TANK WATER, SHOULD HAVE HAD PRESSURE BY THE TIME FIREMAN GOT THE NOZZLE TO THE BALCONY!!!!!

Gawd...does anyone have a squirter gun, or a garden hose ?

Quick dash with the deck gun? Anyone?

Nice fire is special to me

One line stretched nothing happens?....then an edit...then a person at the hydrant who leaves the hydrant nothing attached...leaves to get a tool said person should have already had in a hydrant bag.

So how many actually firefighters on here and not couch firefighters

Great video

Guess this was a 3 alarm lol

have they union meeting first

What the hell am I watching, somebody grab a bucket of water for fucks sake, why r they tapping the hydrant.

Damn guys, learn how to engage your pump and actually charge a line. Embarrassing to watch.

Se nota que están preocupados

How it take dem dat long to put water on fire like come on now dats why ppl shit be burning

let me guess, the FF with the ladder is named Romeo?

Tank water??

They are coming from home.

Should have been our in 10 mins really !!

Looks like the fire department if you go back to school or not a fight fire

Could no one use a fire extinguisher? Shit usually each police patrol vehicle has one.

Wee on it from the top balcony

Also in Deutschland wäre dieses Feuer schon lange gelöscht.

a lot of trucks but no--------------------water?

Got the quint ready just incase it spontaneously combust again

How about a pillowcase & some baseball reflexes?

It did not take note 5 minutes to get water on the Fire it took a minute know your time
