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 !!!!!!

Safety first is not a bad plan. It would not have taken long to grab a hydrant coming in then they'd have all the water they'd need to effect rescue of occupants & crews or continue the attack if there was extension. I'd say this call was iffy given the volume of smoke in the residence.

@@JB91710 Yeah I have seen a lot of US FD videos and these guys are a class above the rest. Usually they would walk around for 5 mins, maybe break some windows to vent and then realise the fire building was a total loss and start tackling Bravo exposure which would probably be involved by that time. These guys got a line in a minute despite ground floor flash over, dumped the tank and reduced the heat to buy time for a effective interior knockdown. They protected B exposure by agressive interior attack and defensively by external lines. And they saved a lot of the fire building when it would have been a total loss for most FD.

@@JB91710 I don't know why they don't do it. It's a difference in philosophy to fire fighting in Europe. Maybe they are used to timber structures and they think once the structure is involved, it's a total loss. I'm surprised at many of the structures especially older ones. They seem to be knocked together from 6x2 with no fire breaks between compartments. Which means extension into walls, floors, and roof spaces is automatic. In Europe many buildings are brick, block, and concrete floors which means effective fire breaks. So a fast initial attack can save much of the building.

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!!

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.

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.

This also mostly stems from my own fire department letting my house burn down by not catching a hydrant (Even though they didn't need one!) Because the fire was very small the 90 degrees cone trick would've taken the garage fire out especially since her window was wide open for the nozzle to stick in.
