Wait a sec at 3:35 The person on the radio is talking to command is the oic not still the 1st engines officer. Would that mean he was talking to himself?

never ever take any part of your PPE off at any time in a burning structure (i.e. gloves) . This will cause severe burns.
HANDS ON THE WALL! lol
@ew6208 there are a few out in my area. The reason i got when i asked them questions was so that they can get through and do a search easily with out worrying about the charged line being difficult to pull around corners. this way with the uncharged line you can manuever quicker. to me i kind of like having water already there with out calling for it cause say if one radio didnt charge correctly or both have no signal, then you come into an issue when there are flames every where but thats me
We never enter with a charged hose line. What’s the point? If we aren’t near the fire, it will just slow us down. Most guys inside don’t even have a line. The truck companies and rescues do their work without one.
We are a bit more aggressive though than most places since we more people on scene being a large east coast department.
how many other depts enter a burning structure without charging the hose line first?
FF might have received a burn on his hand at 3:18 if this was a real fire. Don’t take off your gloves even in training/demo. Great video regardless. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for posting im looking into becoming a fulltime firefighter or at least a volunteer.
It’s a demonstration….
Every firefighter is a hero. Gotta love what they do. great educational vid. I learned a few things
that hose aint gonna do much without no h2o
Gotta love the size up! Trying to write an essay with it?
Excellent
a lot of state laws for u guys keeping u from search and rescue and bringing the line into the structure y should u wait at the door when there are live on the other side of it
no water in that hose
they entered with a un-charged hose
Great video!!!! did not know anything about how you fought the fire. Keep on making great videos.
great video but why is the firefighter putting the webbing on the victim taking his glove off? you can clearly see it through the video of the TIC.
great video!!!
Wow, this is a really good video!
