Massive amount of fire blowing out two windows, fire is up in the cockloft most likely as you can see black smoke puffing out of the eaves in the B exposure. Deck gun could be out in operation within 30 seconds of arrival while hand lines are being pulled. And like someone already said, a hydrant can be hot by the next in. Or better yet have the wanna be firefighter cop who was in the way go and hand stretch to a hydrant. You think small.

For all you deck gun warriors, here's some much needed education... Any experienced professional firefighter rolling up to this job is going to notice that this is a multi-story combo with both commercial and residential units. There are likely at least two separate apartments, probably three or four, which means decent opportunity for potential victims. Given that the fire appears from the third floor there are likely many survivable compartments inside the building. "Well then run run run Mr Fireman and put the fire out quickly... use the DECK GUN!!!!!" Ahhhhh no... The moment you start flowing water into the building from the exterior you are going to begin flooding the building with super heated steam and toxic gases. The pressure created by the expanding steam, along with entrained air (especially from a deck gun flowing 1,000+ GPM) is going to push the nasties into those formerly survivable spaces and potentially kill people. Doing such can also make the search much much more difficult to complete and take up more time. So you grab some entry tools, a couple of cans, a line if able, form up and go in to start looking for potential victims. Meanwhile the crews outside start working their plan to work the fire, cover exposures, stage RIT, etc, etc, etc. To all you wannabes and keyboard chiefs... No, the deck gun is NOT the most underutilized tool in the fire service They are in fact one of the most limited and least practical in usefulness, especially when offensive Any experienced professional firefighter knows this to be FACT

@semproniodensso3353 Жыл бұрын

So much confidence in repeating fallacies. A short (6-12 seconds) straight stream discharge uses 50 to 100 gallons. 90% of TTP connections allow for max 500 gpm. 50 to 100 gallons didn´t reverse convection currents nor push smoke or vapor to other compartments...this happens when the FF hasn´t received good training. Deck Gun is the most practical and useful tool in cases like this...Unproved "FACTS" are fiction, suppositions, and traditions.

@ffjsb Жыл бұрын

WRONG. Heat goes UP, not down. And you can't push fire, that old wives tale has been disproved years ago. Not to mention, anyone still on the third floor is already dead, as that floor is untenable, even if you have fire gear on. You clearly aren't a firefighter, or you'd know this.

"The moment you start flowing water into the building from the exterior you are going to begin flooding the building with super heated steam and toxic gases.' Which will go out the same windows the flames are using. "The pressure created by the expanding steam, along with entrained air (especially from a deck gun flowing 1,000+ GPM) is going to push the nasties into those formerly survivable spaces and potentially kill people." You are forgetting the existing Pressure Release Locations in the front of the structure. In fact, the entire front of the fire floor. The rest of that floor is also being pressurized so everything will still head out the front windows. Unless of course, you are stupid enough to open the nozzle to a cone of water that blocks the escaping gasses and then you will push the heat deeper into the structure for a brief moment before the water soaks everything. Are you that stupid virgil? "So you grab some entry tools, a couple of cans, a line if able, form up and go in to start looking for potential victims. Meanwhile the crews outside start working their plan to work the fire, cover exposures, stage RIT, etc, etc, etc." Before you got the door open; I had the fire knocked down with the deck gun and the victims and entering firefighters were protected. Are you really going to bring cans into that fire? Really virgil? "They (Deck Guns) are in fact one of the most limited and least practical in usefulness, especially when offensive." Not when it comes to extinguishing Visible Burning Material.

@@ffjsb Don't forget pressure zones and high to low pressure air movement. That can move the gasses horizontally of even down. You can reverse the flow of those gasses out the windows if you Block the pressure release locations by filling the window openings with water. The gasses in that room need to go out other windows if you totally block one window. If that fire was venting out just one window, the deck gun stream would have been too wide, and the massive amount of water pressure would have driven the gasses deeper into the structure until the pressure equalized. However, that massive amount of water would have soaked and cooled the materials very quickly to minimize the effect of reversed gasses. As you said, in this case, there was no life to worry about on that floor But, the gasses could be pushed momentarily, down the stairs to the lower levels. Keep the PRLs open and extension deeper into the structure is not an issue. I mean, virgil is still an idiot but you have to be careful what words and terms you use to describe the tactics you suggest.
