You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become electron boy

Usually superheroes don't kill people goddamn. Maybe electron boy is actually a dark anti-hero

Electron Boy killed Osama Been Laden, stopped Putin, destroyed Isis, and crippled the CCP. The United States Military wants to keep this information top secret.

The world lost what would've grown up to be an incredibly logical man, clearly. He saw the problem, deduced his foe's weakness and went for it.

The question is, did they win that saturday?

Holy shit they fucking killed him

Ah the.memories

I miss you Erik Martin

Thank ding dong for this

Hi Bryan! We are considering NeoGov's performance module. Could we set some time to discuss how you have it setup and your opinion thus far?

huh i guess ding dong wasn't lying about the life support thingy

I'll miss you buddy!

Well done lads. Probably the best video I have seen yet on VEIS. It is one of my favorites in my training library.

Very good video.

Great video, we have been building props like these but haven't had much luck finding commerical-mortise locks. Any suggestions?

Excellent

Good video guys. Thanks.

Great video but i would like to say one thing about the window break... you never have your ladder under the window while breaking the glass. you want to be on the side of the window with the wind at your back, that way glass wont fall on you and if it does flash over you are not in going to be hit by the fire and smoke. Other then that good job on the video.

shouldn't you hit the windows on windward side if you doing a search? if not can you explain to me why and why not?

my dad is a firefighter good video

great video!!!! (Y)

Great Video!

From México great vídeo bro im a firefighter

Great video. Thanks for putting in the time to make it.

Wow, thats one useful and nice video! Thanks! also how did you added smoke and flames effects? in which program?

Great Video, taught me what I need to know before my Fire Explorer Drill

Cool video! I'm now a Internet Certified Fire Fighter! How do I print out my certificate?

Your videos are awesome brother. Hoping to see more.

@Billy Sanborn, The reason we specifically don't do that is that until you climb the ladder and get a view inside, you won't know if the room can be compartmentalized or not. If there is no door sealing this room from the rest of the house, you've just created an uncontrolled ventilation point and will cause massive fire spread.

muy bueno exelente

Legends !!! Nice and clear. Thermal camera gives you a sound feeling of the roof rafters. Temperature prints the roof "skeleton". Be safe All !!!

Awesome Video !!! That's how you winning a subscriber. In regards where tip of the ladder needs to be positioned - you doing it right. If ladder is positioned on next to the window at the top of the frame, that will be a pure firefight, no entry. That will defeat any purpose to enter the structure for extracting potential victims. "Papa Tiger, reposition the ladder below the window, I'm coming with Papa Smurf, Over" - Never !!! Also, you will decrease your chances for "emergency bailout". You cannot evacuate anyone if ladder is not bellow and running out when situation deteriorates. Definitely ladder next to the window is a BIG NO,NO. Flashover is temperature driven event. Keep your thermal cameras tight.

You guys explain so well, thanks for posting this video.

Personally, I prefer taking it with the tip of the ladder if it is unknown whether or not the room has flashed, will flash, or a backdraft is possible. This way if any of these occur, I'm not right up next to it.

That's one of those things that is situation dependant. In general I would say no, VES is a targeted search, and the bathroom would be a separate target. That being said, the portion of the video where we explained that you must peer down the hall way to assess conditions and look for victims applies here as well. If you peer into the hall and see a pair of feet sticking out of the bathroom door, by all means grab them. Just don't wander deep. Remember, you can always VES multiple locations

Thanks for your response. My question was more as to whether you would enter the hallway to reach the bathroom door.

These guys "get it". In this day and age of fewer fires, predominantly running medical calls, and online training "basic" firefighting skills are taken for granted and become watered down. Few departments get enough fire to actually learn on the job and like they state in the video the only way to be a pro is to put in the time, sweat, and repetitions. There are no short cuts.

As am I. This is why I say DON'T be above the sill like you say to be. This will put you indirect path of the fire. I appreciate you looking out for the brothers

The first time you see a flashover, you will understand. Also remember that heat rises. With the ladder at the top of the frame, you will be in the direct path of the flame. With the tip below the sill, you will be below the heat level and quite safe. With the tip below, you will also be in position to enter the room and begin your search. With the ladder to the side or above the sill, you will need to take the time to reposition.

dont take it the wrong way i would NEVER want another brother to get caught in s flash over just preaching safety

Assuming the bathroom is attached to the bedroom, just be sure you got a thourogh search on the bathroom, I wouldn't worry about closing the door. The exception is if it is a shared bathroom (i.e. another bedroom on the otherside), then be sure to compartmentalize as well as possible. Remember when you're searching the bathroom that kids love to hide from fire and firefighters. Check bathtubs, cabinets, etc. Also remember the TIC wil NOT see through glass such as a glass shower door.

wow dude i hope u have a good life insurance policy because all u need is that room to flash and life is over, quick tip put the ladder next to the window at the top of the frame like a gentleman and if it flashes u wont b in the way...ur welcome

Umm, because we're outside.

First it is important to understand that solids and liquids don't burn, only gasses. When solids and liquids reach a certain temperature (depending on the material), they will off-gas, and those gasses will ignite in the presence of heat and an oxidizer. Flashover is the point at which everything in the room (furniture, carpet, etc.) reaches pyrolysis (off-gassing temperature), and ignites all at once. The rate of rise in compartment temperature is unsurvivable.

Agreed, IF all rooms along the roofline are targeted. Remember, this is a targeted search. If "my baby, my baby!" is in a known room, I'm going straight for that one and throwing the ladder as close as I can to it.

You are absolutely right. This video was just focusing on the immediate task. Realistically (in my perfect world), there should be no rig on the fireground left with a ladder still on it. In other words, laddering the hell out of the building should be a very high priority.

Excellent video. Just a question. Say there is a small bathroom next to the bedroom you are searching. You can't fit through the bathroom window. Should you do VES on the bedroom, search the bedroom, then, enter the bathroom and do a quick search and leave, closing the door behind you? Thanks
