You guys need to seriously teach your "rapid deployment techniques" to other departments... hats off to your instructors.

Excellent Tulsa. I love the no-dicking-around at the door, just try, boot, and scoot in to attack the seat of the fire. And the E10 engineer is a boss, getting quick water, helping pull other lines, organizing equipment at the front of the house, very proactive. Very impressive. Rock on brothers.

The dude that jumped out first really has his shit together!

Yes! Very impressed with firefighters disembarking from apparatus fully geared up and ready to don mask pulling hose and getting an attack line going! This is the way it's supposed to be done! I may would have considered getting a top-side hole once flames become visible around garage area, but at least quick access was made and fire quickly knocked down! Great job!!!

That's quick and efficient engine work by a career professional fire department.

Great footage man! Good job by Tulsa FD getting to work quickly the way they did on arrival! Job well done boys!

First line interior...I would have stretched the 2nd line to the garage. The engine operator did a great job. Quick water, pulled the 2nd line and pointed out fire from the garage to the officer. Driver is running that rig. Great job though.

like to see constant help moving the lines for best angle into the house. All around Great Hustle .. .Well Done 10.

Those Tulsa firefighters are no joke . They move at a fire like a military force!

That was quick and efficient from start to finish. Even the house still standing and sure can be fixed. Great job.

Great video. Like to see the number of hose-teams. Tulsa F.D. really wanted to save as much as they could. I have watched a lot of house-fire videos, and often you see only two teams, but here there are many more than two.

Great work My friend, Proud of What They Do. Cheers Dizzy.

I love this fire department. They hit the ground running like it was their own home and work very well together. Waste no time at all.

WOW! @0:21 Engine rolled up and firefighters jumped out....FULLY GEARED UP!

I've worked with TFD firemen as a union stagehand now for almost 40 years. They are the best in every aspect of their work and I'm honored to call many of them my friends. This video is a perfect example of one of the best fire departments in America at work. We're safer because f them.

Great job so nice to see firefighters come ready to fight the fire instead of standing around for 10 minutes looking at.

This is how a first in engine company should operate. Well done!

0:48, popped the door, SCBAs, charged line, 3 firefighters. Most excellent!

camera quality is amazing on this video by the way man. I'm just now seeing this on 780p and it's amazing Brendon!!!!!

This is the best work I have seen on KZfaq. These guys are really good fire fighters. Charged lines, water with entry, that's the way it is supposed to be done. Kudos to Tulsa Fire.

Cudos to the first responding company on the scene. You wasted no time laying lines and entering. U are to be commended my bros. Awesome job and keep up the great work. Thank u for ur service and may god bless u greatly!

Great job, love the hustle and sense of urgency by all! Hat’s off Tulsa FD!

This is the speed and efficiency every department should strive for. Members of Tulsa FD should be proud

I like the hustle, but not at the expense of missing key points. There was no 360 done, one firefighter just ran into the front door by himself before his team was ready, left the front door open to feed the fire, and completely missed the obvious fact that the fire originated in the garage (something they probably would have noticed had they done a size up). If the first line was going to the front door to fight extension to try and save the living space of the house, fine, that's a defendable tactic, but the second had to go to the garage (they were about to send a third through to door). Overall, The firefighters seemed to have a solid command of their skills and it looks like it was ultimately a successful operation, but I dunno, to me this is a very clear training video for the effects of tunnel vision.

I mean I hate to be that guy, but with all of that charged smoke, nobody went to the roof for vertical ventilation. Thoughts?

aggressive, good job on the entry, just gotta get them boys some radio straps,

Nice to see hoses and water being used so quickly instead of breaking all the windows and making holes in th roof. Well done.

Both engineers were killing it! Interior crews had their shit together out the gate. The way firefighting should be. Those guys are textbook.

Came to comments to locate information on how to properly fight fire from the internet. As always I wasn’t let down. At least now I know how and can advise on further fire uploads.

Very good on the first guy for being so fast very good work Tulsa, good footage 👍

Getting off the Engine and going to work ! Great job brothers

Every movement had a purpose! Way to get in there and get to work! Great job brothers!

Pre arrival and everything. Nice job.

Another guy jumping off of the rig not prepared. What's so hard about it guys ? Seriously. You should all be ready, regardless of how close the fire is to the station. We had a structure fire 4 houses from the station. No way would we be ready to jump off upon arrival. So, you know what we did : we got ready, then the rig left the hall. Smarten up !! By the way, you had light colored smoke upon arrival. Then you lost it, BIG TIME !! P.S. Nice boot to the door though !!!! Second line should have went to the garage. Funny, this was EXACTLY like my last house fire ! And it started in the garage, but the 1st line went in the front door. Thanks for giving me the 2nd line Engine 1 driver, you are a generous man !! ;-)

Now these guys are professionals. Excellent work! A++++

Great job guys thank you for keeping us safe.

Tulsa fire rocks! That is text book fire fighting.

Amazing footage

Well prepared and organized department, although garage appeared to be source of fire. No standing around itching and scratching like most fire scenes.

Very impressive fast attack! Great job Tulsa fire! Was that a booster reel being pulled off the first engine to use for overhaul and hot spots?

Well...imo this was a job done very well. Nice work guys and gals. Everyone was looking to get busy. Good crews.

Wow Tulsa has their shit together! Great job gents. Probably one of the most organized firefighting I have seen on you tube.

Great teamwork.

That kick to open the door was amazing

good job! it amazes me that the fire fighters approached the entry point without being masked up, they had the tank on but had to stop to put the mask and hood on when you put the tank on put the mask and hood on the air hose can be left off right before entry with just a twist

It’s great to have an engineer on the scene that pays attention.

great job by the engine co. but i am a little confused. the entire video i did not see anyone make their 360, also the forcible entry was awesome and where is the truck company to find the fire and search for victims ? i loved the fact that everyone is doing something but there was not ventilation made and no search for fire, those are your main jobs before make entry, as an engine guy i can only tell you that it was a great push but if you guys can improve your search, you guys will be greater then what you guys are now, just remember at the end of the day make sure that 'EVERYONE GOES HOME'.

Start in the garage, extend to the attic?

Really like TULSA FD !!!

A lot of things done well, but take a second and think. First thing is a 360. Could have been done off camera, but I did't see one, they are very important. Second, take a look, the bulk of the fire was clearly in the garage. Why go through the front door? Good work overall, but some definite training points here as well.

first video I have seen where the firefighters actually showed some urgency in trying to save the house. Well done Tulsa!!

Bang up job, well done!

That's what you call a good department off the truck masking up and in quick 👍

I am not a fireman, but I would love to armchair this as I watch many videos. If fire fighters went all balls at the garage they would have pushed the fire into the living space, as smoke shows it was pushing to the attic. The way they hit it was perfect, glad to see all ff all masked up. Good job, a lot of higher ups should use this vid. For training.

Wow! these guys are good, within a minute they had a charged attack line in the house and a few minutes more to have three attack lines ready to go.

Looks like the fire started in the garage and then extended into the attic space of the house. Couple of things I wonder about, but can't really say because of how the video was edited. Did the first in officer do a 360? Did they have 2 out before they went interior? Are they counting the engineer(s) as part of their two out, even though they are not in PPE?

Those first arriving guys are really lucky that unvented fire didn't flashover on them. Not putting them down, they did a good job. Just something I observed.

Question for everyone : the other day, I was walking down the street in the downtown core, and an Engine and Ladder truck responded to the commercial building I was near. An alarm showing fire on the 2nd floor, nothing showing. We are required to wear seatbelts on the rigs now, ever since we had a rollover of an Engine that paralyzed a ff from the neck down, almost caused another ff to lose his arm, and obvious PTSD for all involved. So, when the Captain got off the Engine today upon arrival, he wasn't ready to go, and jokingly I said "not ready to go Capt. So-N-So, what's up"...to which he replied with "hey, gotta wear those seatbelts, so no room for a SCBA over it". To be fair, the station is 1.5 blocks from the alarm. I agree, and half the time, the Captain notifies dispatch we are all belted because it's the way we have to be now, even though we aren't. Do you wear seatbelts ? How do you get it over everything ? I know we should, but it's so slow to get it all on, and oh fawk if it gets tangled up ! One shift, I was working with the proverbial "cowboy" ff, you know him, the gung-ho, know-it-all. We were 2nd alarm Engine. About a 5-7 minute ride. Smoke visible from our station, 1st station calling it in, asking for the 2nd alarm, huge barn fire fully involved.. We have 3 seats in the back of the rig, all facing forward, tanks in back of seats, the norm. I was beside HIM. He was fumbling around, hissing and puffing about his straps on his SCBA being tangled. So, I just waited, watched the smoke, and enjoyed myself. The Captain says to me, "Are you going to get dressed Aaron ?" To which I replied,"Yup, as soon as Frank is done fumbling around with himself". Nope, he didn't like that comment, especially when he was on the verge of promotion to Captain, and I a probie with 3 months on the job (with that dept, I spent 3 yrs with Detroit Fire). Finally, he was done, and I took my time, as to not get paired up with him. I was ready upon arrival, and paired up with my driver, a laid-back let's get drunk and fuk chics sort of guy. Except the guy passes out at the sight of blood, so guess who drives every medical and MVA ? Yup, him. We walk up the driveway to a huge garage, fully involved. Cowboy has a 2.5" line in hand, going nuts ! The place was charred, nothing left. Then, like he's doing me the biggest favour of my life, gives me the nozzle, and says "your turn". LMAO I swore he was riding me, ya know, like a red-ass gets. But nope, he genuinely meant it. Aww, I said," thanks so much ! Which charred piece of wood shall I aim this at ?" Not a second after, I open up the nozzle, on....did I say purpose ? Nah, I didn't, ;-) Bam, tons of PSI bounced off his chest ! Oops, sorry, this red-ass begged for mercy...but got respect, from the entire station !! Moral of the story : don't be a dick, cowboy !! P.S. The cause of that fire ? The kid and friend smoking pot in the garage when dad walks in, they toss the joint, one problem though, Dad just cut the grass with the riding lawn mower, the type that gets a hot engine when ran long. Hahaha if we knew, we would have inhaled !!

i see your 10's pulled up ready bro!!!! all companies pull up ready to get it, in Tulsa man!!! Knock it down and get ready for the next call!!! 24's all day!!! great videos man. keep up the good work Brandon

Well done Tulsa, a highly efficient crew.

6 minutes is pretty damn fast to get that knocked down!!!!

Now that's the best fire department I've seen on KZfaq that got right to the job all the fire departments only be doing nothing but standing around looking stupid well Detroit Michigan that fire department is the best I've ever seen this is the second best other cities just looking stupid standing around a gang of firefighters with nothing to do

Good work Tulsa

Good work guys!!! Stay safe.

Tulsa Firefighters ARE AMAZING. They always hit the ground running. Awesome job guys we appreciate your service. God bless you guys.

Well done. And....is that a TRIPLE LAYER LOAD i see 😲

0:14 that’s right I like to see a fireman jogging to start fighting the fire. I’ve seen a lot of videos wear a fire engine roles up and they walk out super slowly and sit and stare at it “assessing” while the neighbors are tripping. One video took 4-6 minutes from the time the truck arrived to water coming out the hose. Unacceptable. Then they say “you’re not a fireman so shut up” but I know that you need to put water on ASAP.. assess flow paths for potential victims as you’re getting ready!

That is good team work good job

How many f**king people are going to walk by that huge kink in the front yard?! One person even mask up right next to it!! Nozzelman probably had absolutely no pressure!!

These fire fighters worked fast this is how it suppose to be done.👏👏

Looks to me like a lot of the people criticizing the Tulsa FD in this video are "text book" firefighters as opposed to experienced, "street-smart" firefighters. The text book firefighters either work in small suburban fire departments that see, maybe, 10 working fires a year and are primarily an emergency medical service. And some probably aren't even firefighters at all. Street-smart firefighters in larger cities like Tulsa see dozens of fires every year. And yes, the majority of their calls are medically related; but they fight a lot of fire too. Both text book and street-smart firefighters operate under very similar SOP's. However; the street-smart firefighters recognize that SOP's are guidelines, not commandments etched into a stone tablet. By the time he/she gets to be a company officer in the Tulsa, the street-smart firefighter has hundreds of room and contents fires in small residences from which to draw experience and make decisions on how (and when) to apply department SOP's. I am not knocking the text book firefighter, they too are simply a product of their environment. They simply do not have the opportunity to gain the experience and, therefore, have to rely more heavily on the SOP's as dictates rather than guidelines. Also, don't underestimate the amount of institutional knowledge that gets passed on to the Tulsa Fire Department from it's proximity to Oklahoma State University and it Fire Protection Engineering programs. Bottom Line to all - these videos don't show all sides and all angles of what is happening on the fire ground. Judge what you are watching by the results that are achieved by the people actually on the scene, putting the wet stuff on the red stuff and making it go away, rather than nitpicking every action from the limited perspective of a single camera and your own limited experience.

Great teamwork, Tulsa 👏👏👏👍

That’s how it’s done right there hands down!!!

great job professional fire fighters well done.

Wow! No organized vent and enter. Just front door approach. Was there any 360 size up at all? maybe a little to quick on the entrée? And one person going in on the line?

What was this video shot with? the picture is extremely clear.

Good first arriving crew there. Don't like them going in there like that without any venting being done first unless it's for rescue. I'm glad it didn't flashover on them. Good job though.

I don't know about fire fighting equipment, how do they clean their clothes since they are fire retardant?

Nice footage!!

Why did they pull 3 lines. One being a booster on a structure fire?

I am amazed that not one window was broken out for ventilation.....

Why no roof ventilation?

Wow, What a shame!! Hope No one was hurt? That was a small but very nice well kept home. Clean, nice trim and windows, beautiful lawn!! You could tell the owners really appreciated it!! Hope they had full coverage insurance?? Thanks to all the Fireman and first responders! You Be the MEN!! (or woMen) Do you know the cause of this???

Nice job! Nice job!

solid work

How cum he walked right in without texting the flow it could have been completely gone From the fire?

Nice hustle. Why's everyone talking shit on the nozzleman going in "alone"? I think it would be safe to assume he thought his backup man was coming in right behind him. Not his fault that he didn't right away...

Did the 1st firefighter enter alone?

Can someone explain to me without being a jerk why they went straight into the house when the fire was clearly in the garage?

Did the dog survive? :(

Smoke velocity from the garage area tells alot. I missed it at first, focusing on the front door attack.

Totall every window ,and all doors. Let them get nice new thermopanes if they decide to rebuild.Great job Tulsa

On that like a duck on a June Bug. Nice attack.

That first guy in was a rockstar

Nice hustle, well done

Every one did a great job

Kind of a surprise not to see roof action ,ventilate here in cali the truckees are on.the roof always even when.Not necessary sometimes ...but I like how These guys got right to it front door action ventilation was not necessary

Garage going up like paper

was there a dog inside still bc i saw the beware of dog sign

Nice. Those are some hustlers. They get there and get the job done!
