PLEASE USE THIS VIDEO AS A TRAINING TOOL. WE HERE ARE NOT JUDGING HOW THIS FIRE WAS HANDLED, BUT RATHER WANT TO USE IT FOR A LEARNING PURPOSE.
SOME QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD COME TO MIND ARE..
WHAT IS THE FIRST PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT COMES OFF YOUR ENGINE WHEN ARRIVING FIRST AT A WORKING FIRE?
DO YOU AND YOUR CREW MOVE WITH A SENSE OF URGENCY?
HOW DO YOU HANDLE EXPOSURES? AND WHEN EXACTLY ARE EXPOSURES IN DANGER?
THERE ARE HUNDRED MORE QUESTIONS THAT COME TO MIND, BUT WE WANT YOU AND YOUR CREW TO SIT DOWN AND DISCUSS THIS VIDEO AND HOW YOU GUYS WOULD HANDLE IT, BEING FIRST IN..
PLEASE LEAVE ANY COMMENT YOU LIKE ABOUT THIS VIDEO HERE, WE ARE INTERESTED ON HOW THIS MAKES YOU FEEL AND WHAT IT MAKES YOU THINK ABOUT..

This one could have gone either way I think. If I were on the Rig as a Capt. I think I would have had my crew go in through the front door. It was apparent that the rear of the house was already engulfed. We always fight from the unburned side right? Well, by the time the lines were laid and charged, I would have had second thoughts if we were bunkered down in the entry way with heavy black smoke rolling over our heads. It would have hurt; but I think I would have then pulled my crew out and charged the 2 1/2. They pulled the 1 3/4'' preconnets initially, which is probably what would happen 99% of the time on a small house fire like that.
@Anonymous thank you for your comment...I found this video interesting because it is not very often you get to watch go thru all phases...I agree you that if it were tje crew I was on we would have went in thru the front door...another interesting point was the sense of urgency or lack there of...but I can't tell how many times I have seen guys on fire scenes with no sense of urgency and then lose the fire...there are other interesting points in this video as well
