Allentown Engine 9 Responding Working House Fire
Nester Video Productions did a ride along with Allentown Fire Departments 3rd Platoon on Saturday October 11, 2008. During the Day shift journey NVP ran Three calls with the crew from Engine 9. Call Number 2 was to a reported house fire which was quickly confirmed as a working fire, so the crew from engine 9 went to work. On the Box: Battalion 3 Engine 6 Engine 4 Engine 9 Truck 2 Engine 13 (RIT) Engine 14 (Manpower) Engine 11 (Fire-watch)
Is it a good idea for the driver to take his hands off the wheel to sound the bull horn?
I don’t think it is. Perhaps a button on the steering wheel would be better. It doesn’t look too safe to me.
Nice Macks. What year?
@hhdra I actually run with whitehall fire and have several helmet cams
…and people think this isn’t fun!
all u need is a set of irons
isnt that a bitch at 3:23 gotta hate that
Love rolling up to a working fire and hearing the sweet sound of windows breaking lol.
A saw would have been better to use on the front door….and a TIC for overhaul too.
Hey I really think you should invest in a helmet cam if you are part of engine 9.
Watch all the guys with no masks on going into the building and people wonder how many firefighters end up going to the hospital for smoke inhalation. Maybe no one had to go for care on this call but this complacency is what leads to injuries and deaths.
Speaking of rescue 3, that reminds me, I have noticed lately that aalentown is useing some different trucks numbers, recue # and squad #. What trucka are these? IS there somewhere where we can look at an updated truck numering and fire scene terms such as special call? What are the lehigh county numbers for the city units?
Great video – Covered it all from beginning to end.
Allentown Pa.
was there any one trapped in side?
this is prolly 1 of the best vids ive seen, u include response plus on scene and them charging the lines and everything. great vid!!
That engine your in.. What year is it? Cause the lights look old and the horn is normaly a foot petal so the driver can have both hands on the wheel.
…hmmmm….I thought you were NEVER to move a ladder once its been placed outside a window, especially after someone goes up and enters the structure. Good thing he didn’t have to bail out for any reason.
engine 3 reserve
what other truck was that in the station it said 3r??? rescue 3
Firtog, you have done it again!!!!
Outstanding videography!
I have over 200 of these videos and this is by far one of the bEST!
minimal smoke
nice video any exposure to the other houses
One firefighter in the engine looks like rookie.
doesn’t mean it was a good idea… lol
even with very minimal smoke, we should be wearing our BA – it only takes a few ppm of some chemicals in smoke to kill you.
e was going into an exposure building that had no fire impingment to open up for ventilation purposes only very minimal smoke.
