Excellent

My old FD tried several methods of building high rise packs over the years. In the end, this method was the best. The only difference was we used (3) individual seatbelt straps instead of a commercially made strap. About $60 total for (3) straps. Also, we used a “Standpipe Pipe” which contained (1) 2-½” x 2-½” gated-wye with a 2-½” to 1-½” reducer on each side, which allowed us to bump up from 1-½” or 1-¾” hose to 2-½” hose if we needed to by simply removing the reducer(s). The bag also included a set of universal spanners, door wedges and straps, high rise (big) chalk, and some spare 1-½” and 2-½” gaskets. The Fire Attack Team would take: (1) high rise pack, (1) standpipe bag, (1) TIC, (1) set of irons plus each member’s radio and flashlight.

I'm sorry but the "you this is me" style of transmission (or "connecting") is NOT the best method of sending a message! More often than not, the receiver of the message will only here the second half of the transmission! Jesus, stop trying to reinvent the wheel! We're not calling in airstrikes! Keep it as is ("this is me to you")

What’s missing is a gate vale or a flow meter with a valve to set the correct pressure. The stairwell connection valve should not be used to set the pressure

Thanks 4 d upload

They just simply need to go back to the 10 code

Wouldnt you wait to force the door so there is not another air source feeding the fire?

Thanks guys and gals of Fairfax County. Re-certing my EMT and needed a quick visual refresher. Thanks for uploading. Stay safe out there.

If you contract covid 19, the chances are good that, unless you quarantine early, you will pass it on to someone else, probably a loved one or friend or coworker. Follow the protocols for their sake.

Parts of this sure didnt age well. It's cool to see how far we've come in just 8 years. Please dont take it down, just because it's outdated, but it would be cool to get a video showing modern practices and data. Also might want to warn unsuspecting people who might be studying for the NREMT or something that this video has some information, which has likely been disproven.

Nice compilation of a terrifying incident. A job well done Fairfax County, Alexandria, Ft. Belvoir and other Fire & Rescue Departments who worked together on this fire with no loss of life. Just Amazing!! 🚒 🚓 🚑 👨‍🚒 👩‍🚒 👮‍♂️ 👮‍♀️ 🤜🤛 👏

What is the thinking behind not having any 2 1/2 with the 1 3/4? Wouldn’t that be a high PDP?

👍

Thanks for posting, GB - HNFD.

Do you have a old radio or not use but still working ?? please donate to us.. We are volunteer from Philippines THANK YOU....

Well Done !!!!!

This is good but when a department lacks a repeater system where everyone is heard, you have to do through dispatch. If everyone could hear what we were saying, it'd be a lot better. EMS is also on a different frequency

Wack

Thank you.

If visibility is low and you’re sounding the floor it’s probably better to use the handle of an ax or pike pole rather than the metal ends. If the victim happens to be on the floor at the window then you’ve probably just added to their injuries if you stab them with the pike or the ax head. Also, you should never heal a ladder with your back to the building. Whatever is happening is behind and above your head. Always face the front. Other than that good job.

One of the communications people shown here, does something that is hard to deal with on the radio. That is, when he pronounces "S" his mouth whistles. I find that women tend to do this more often, mostly in personal, face to face conversations. I don't know how a person can change this. This can often cause the radio to over modulate, distorting the signal. Dispatchers have to speak in a manner that does not cause this over modulation.

I'm retired from the U.S. Forest Service I base radio near my desk, a mobile in my pickup and had a handheld radio on my belt for three decades I have a lot of practice using a radio. Using the unit being called as first in order, followed by the sender is a lot easier on the brain while working a full busy shift and even the frequent 10-12 hour shift. When the sender goes first you have to remember the sender's designation and then listen to see if you are going to be the recipient of the call. With the recipient being called first, you can quickly go into a passive listening mode quickly and not listen as closely to the sender or the message being conveyed. Of course you really need to listen to all calls as they might have pertinent information, but if you are in the middle of a public contact, a law enforcement incident or other task, disregarding a call that is not directed to you is mentally less taxing than waiting for the recipient being pronounced second. Also, the words "to" or "from" are extraneous as well and should be eliminated. The order of the recipient and the sender already conveys that already. Another habit people are using now drives me a little nuts. They use the words "show me" to indicate their status. For example, "Angeles, Engine 314, show us in service to Little Tujunga." "Show us" or "show me" is unnecessary. It should be "Angeles, Engine 314 in service, enroute Little Tujunga." I'm hearing it used by the town PD, the sheriff's department, the BLM (Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service and sometimes the local fire jurisdictions in the county I live in. One thing that used to bug me is when I arrived on scene of a critical incident and everyone talked so much about what they were going to do and other details of what might be the situation at the scene, that I could not give the periodic status reports that either changed what resources I needed or the level of danger I was in. One time I responded to shots fired and so many people were talking about their response, who should use lights and sirens, what position they should approach the incident that I could not report to the dispatcher that I was declaring a death, making lights and sirens not necessary, cancel the medic response and to get the coroner enroute and to say it was self inflicted totally eliminating any hazard I was in. I've also had this happen when I discovered wildland fires myself and was on scene first. It made the incident response much harder.

thats a huge hose pack!! never seen anything like that in germany yet

Shouldnt patients arms be inside the spiderstraps when securing patient on the spineboard?

Im in that 20% Broke my C3-C6. I got out the car ,checked on the other driver and got the scene under control. I then called 911 told them I need the state police and an ambulance, I thought I dislocated my shoulder. I sat in the er for an hour in a half before being seen.

VEES! Vent. Extinguish Enter Search. Otherwise, you endanger Both the victim and the fire fighters! If the fire is out, there is nothing to prevent the fire fighters from doing a thorough search. Most times, you can put the fire out Before you're ready to go in! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gN11ZNOB3r6qeY0.html&index=1&list=FLFsNbu_AalilSMdtgmxsiPA

Was that Tower & Truck 410 & 408

Captain Price would be proud...

Excellent Vid!!

First off, great training video guys. Second, question for FAIRFAX TRAINING, What pressures are you running at and what is your nozzle rating (150 @ 75psi, 150 @ 100psi)? We have troubles with this load kinking and not getting the required gpm at the nozzle, until it gets stretched nearly 1/2 the way out.

At 16:46 the Dispatcher seems to violating the procedure shown in the earlier part of the video. From what was shown in the earlier part, a contact is made using "<Station called>.. from <station calling>". So it should have been "E208.. from Fairfax".

what is the name of the tool?

You rock!
