I have to say, THAT WAS THE FASTEST KNOCKDOWN I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE. VERY professional, kick ass take names department. The nozzleman made maximum damage to that fire with the limited water and resources. The MPO dumped the tank and that gave the nozzleman all he needed. You should be PROUD and the town PROUD of their Department. Stay Safe and Healthy Brothers and Sisters !!!!!!

For the 90% of the other fire video's I see, these guys just showed you that you can get water to the tip in under 60 seconds. GREAT job guys.

Just started watching these "pre-arrival" videos. I'll have to say, I've watched about 10 so far and this has to be one of the best boots on the ground, hoses charged, and fire attack I've seen. No time wasted. Clearly, these guys were there to knock the fire down and protect the surrounding dwellings. Good job. These residents are lucky to have you.

Excellent work. Water flowing less than minute after arrival, rapid knock of the visible fire and protection of the B exposure.

The essence of the American firefighter. 3 man engine company, which is simple fact in many places. FF stretches the pre-connect matter of fact, no rush, just purposeful. Officer does quick look on both sides. MPO is doing his job, multi-tasking because that's what needs to done. Smiles even, as he's going about his job. They charge the line, darken down the fire a bit, then go in and kick ass. How perfect is that!! They don't stand outside and spray a bunch of water though the window, pushing the fire in deeper like some places would. Puts my faith back in the fact that they know what they're doing. Great job!!

49 seconds from arrival to they had the first line on it. Amazing job! You can't ask for better then that. That guy running the pump truck attaching lines. Organizing them on the ground. Sending water when needed. Big props to him.

Excellent execution. Completely organized. Speaks volumes of their training.

Nicely done! Water on the fire in 1:30 from the airbrake being set.

You maybe missing the fact this this engineer is the one that made it all possible. Watch just what he does. That's a great engineer. I personally like that he made sure there was enough pressure in the lines. Can't tell you how much I hate 10 pounds of pressure.

That was one hell of an attack! Great job to the HFD.

The citizens of Huntington should be impressed. That is a well-trained, aggressive FD y'all have. You can't count the number of departments who would've watched this house burn to the ground in a "surround and drown" effort.

Wow!!! A fire dept to be proud of 👏 huge respect to these guys 👊 a slick operation from start to finish 😃

Awesome and super fast knock down of that fire. I am so glad that there are firefighters like this crew!! Be safe always.

Great work..... Som serious line pulling there....

These guys did it freaking right. They had water on the fire in under a minute from when the first arriving engine came to a stop. Everything gets better the sooner you get that done. I've always said that- get a guy in full gear (before he gets off the truck) to get to the fire and be ready with a charged hose. He may not go in the house by himself, or put the whole fire out- but he just may be able to keep the fire's progress in check while the rest of the crew and arriving trucks get set up.

50 seconds for water on the fire. phenomenal job guys.

Ex volunteer here....very nice job. Pump operator was excellent also. 🚑🚒

Now THAT is how to do it! Forty three seconds from pull up to getting water on the fire!

Great example of a competent Pump Operator and firefighters ready to go to work.

They hit most of the fire when just one line great job.

Nicely done! FF's were ready for the interior attack quickly, Side 2 exposure covered, and water supply. Don't know what the manpower was but 2nd line could have been a little faster because of the amount of fire. Vent Vent Vent?? The pump operator was great, helping stretch lines and pulling lines so when they need to move in more it would be an easier pull. Kudo's to him.

From an Old Chief: That is how we did it in the old days. A shame you don't see it very often now.

Wow line charged in less than minute Fastest knockdown I’ve seen on KZfaq. Yes this town should be very proud of this department!

Strong work. Text book fast water. Don’t see enough quality work like this on KZfaq.

Pull the bumper line for the exposure.good job fellas. Quick water application is always key to fire suppression. It seems to evade many of us.

That’s a kick ass department. Not afraid to get in and attack

FF arrives and pulls hose off truck WITH HIS BA ALREADY ON and water flowing less than minute after arrival. This needs to be a video every dept needs to watch.

Watching videos that the phone is straight up is like watching through the bathroom door.

Excellent response to an older house that often burn quickly for a total loss....plus knocked it down fast enough to prevent it from spreading to the neighboring house that could've gave been more than 15 feet away.

Nice fast knock on that!

Wow really nice job guys 👍👍. You guys don't mess around !! Quick attack ! Water supply ! Ladders up ! Be safe !!

Damned Good Stop. Congrats to the crew and officers

Great knockdown with aggressive interior attack!

Excellent fast knock down.

Absolutely perfect, first FF off the engine, fully geared, masked ( exactly how i preach to come off our engine) and stretching, plugged in the regulator, got water and went to work. Had to be hot AF in there with the steam he made, but it laid the fire down in good time. 👍👍🍺

That thing was rocken and them guys did a hell of a job.They showed up to put it fire and that’s what they did 👍

Spot on perfect...............first man off the engine masked up, stretching and then a white hat backs him up for entry. Only question i have is why did they blow the " all out" when conditions hadn't changed and they were making progress on the fire. Good job guys!!! 👍

Great knock, fantastic job!

Now that’s how it’s done! 💪 Happy to have you back my friend!

Brilliant knock down. Shows that it can be done in the USA. Training video for every incompetent dept right here

This is my home town. If marshal university wasn't there I don't think the dept would be what it is. There are alot of great things about Huntington that never seem to make it on line. They only show the raw underbelly ,like so many other places today that probably makes this a routine call. Sad to see the fire ,but glad to see the praise of Huntington fire dept..

next time record in landscape so w e can actually see something

Very good evolution. Well trained.

wet stuff on the hot stuff less than 60 seconds after arrival. now that's an aggressive attack.

Great job putting that fire out real quick

Wow!! These guys are so damn impressive 👊 a great team ✌

Brilliant job! Other FD's take note.

Wow,great job knocking down that fire!

What did you film this with? An iPhone3?

Great video work! Nice stable image.

How can people laugh at other's misfortune, There isn't a word obscene enough to describe these people.

Fantastic job quick and efficient

Excellent response!

All those commenting about how fast this attack was, this is pretty much normal in most parts of the US. These guys are good, and most FD's in the US are that way too.

Soooo glad there wasn't a wind storm. Pro crew deserves the accolades.

Someone’s dream home is going up in flames while firemen find time to laugh and joke.

Buy those Boys a Miller!!

Love how the first hose line didnt try to contain the fire and stop the Nieghbors house from burning

Great job deploying and getting water on the fire

Tiny video. Hard to watch! Why is it not in full screen?

That is jam up Engine Company ops right there.

Wish that phone was turned sideways! Horn gave 3 evacuate blasts for the hydrant to be opened? Granted evacuate blast are 3 long ones but still don't give 3 for hydrant to be charged

Great job getting water on the fire quick. My only thing is why not bring first coupling to door so your have line to work with and not waste time dragging it up.

that was a nice job Fire men

Excellent work from this fire crew. Too bad the assholes on the sidelines were having such a great time while some family lost everything!

one of the quickest line charge you’ll see

Quick takedown! Nice job!

Where is the hollering and screaming?

Impressive response with water on the fire ASAP!!!

I must admit: gladly there are some FD's which have water on the fire within 60 seconds.

What would happen if someone used a garden hose before you get there

Do to the fast response of 🔥 fighters I believe the basic structure of that house 🏠 can be saved. And the fact it was older and built with heavier fire resistant materials like lath and plaster that probably saved the wood 🪵 frame.

Simple & swift . . . . 👍

What happened inside the house

Çok çabuk müdahale bu ekip tebrikleri hak ediyor...

The IA excellent.

Wow! Big fire!!

Vent now my brothers. Vertical ventilation.

OMG they really attacked that fire quickly.

These folks were fast. I watch so many videos where personnel are painfully slow getting the first water on the fire

Back laying a supply line is bs. How many hydrants did you drive by on the way in? Stop at a hydrant drop your supply line and then pull up to the fire bldg. Dump the tank to the first attack line while water supply is being established.5p0 gal tank will give you time to establish supply plus put water on the fire.

A Truck Company would be nice though!!

Never stand near any power line connected to a house that is burning if you wanna live

Lets all stand around and laugh

Unfortunately they get a lot of practice here with abandoned houses. I can tell you this because I live in Huntington.

Landscape mode.

Good job from wheeling wv !

Squared away department great job

This place was gone when they got there.

How rude to tell those Firefighters " Let's go boy's, you're on the clock" The house is fully engulfed, how many items does the guy think will be salvageable. The house is already gone. Also, the f.d. may let it go at that point so the home is considered a complete loss for insurance reasons. Nothing like saving part of the home to still be considered liveable and not totaled out...

Go to another rescue 2 ride

That House looks like a lose

Hold it horizontal, like a man.

Don't like the small frame

Vertical filming like some 13 year old girl for Tick Tock.

Yeah 👍. When I see these videos and the person jokes around and laughs. Your house is burning with every thing you own, it's very sad. It really sad. If it were yours would you joke around.......just saying

Twice on the horn-send the water. Three times on the horn-GTFO

Well, these guys are going into my 5%ers Club. That was some of the fastest water I have seen in the USA! For those of you who don't know me, 5% of USA fire departments do NOT have their collective heads up their asses. To give you an example of how my grading works, the FDNY belong on the bottom of the list for the 95%ers. I hope someone in this department does know me, so they realize the high praise I have paid to them. You can just watch them and see how efficient they are. The following is what I feel they should have done different for the sake of safety and effectiveness. 1. The first line should have gone down the "Left" side to put the fire out through that window and protect the exposure. 2. Next line should have taken care of the "Front" porch and then quickly move to the window to knock out that room. NOT, through the front door. Especially not one person. Fresh air, Flashover! 3. Third line goes down the "Right" side to knock out that room through the windows. When all the flames are knocked down, THEN and Only THEN, do you go inside to mop up. Victims trapped somewhere inside? Same scenario! You eliminate the threat, vent the windows and cool the gasses to PROTECT them and the entering firefighters. If you allow the fire to grow while you blindly search, everyone inside is at a much greater risk. Only hero wannabes charge in without thinking.

Why post this video? If people don't know how to shoot a video right it's a waste of space and time. Oh wait, get the magnifying glass out, I can see it!

Put some water through the bloody window.
