Los Angeles LA High-Rise Apartment Fire

Listen to the play by play from  John summerall

Flashover training

This is flashover training we do with each cadet class to give them skills to reduce the risk of getting caught in a flashover environment.  Control openings always good stuff. 

Fire Attack: Door Open vs Door Closed

I understand the science behind this but there is a lot not being talked about.  Nozzle and handline selection to give the proper GPM to overcome the fire room.  Choose the 50 cal always go big and knock it down.  Also this is an indirect attack in my opinion when you hit this the steam and heat have to go somewhere,  usually to portions of the house that were tenable for victims.  There are reasons that it is called fire attack choose the right line and get some. 

Forcible Entry: The Bam Bam Tool

Bam Bam  who has one?  Have not seen one in a while.

Beyond the Academy: Video Training Series - Forcing Slide Bolts & Drop Bars

Have a plan for every door and carry it out. 

OVM Chained gate

Faster than a saw?  Good work Seattle the welds on these are very weak and easy to overcome.
Thanks, Patch

PPA drill gone wrong - Firefighters in flowpath

PPA can be dangerous if not carried out correctly make sure what were doing on the fireground matches the on scene conditions.

Renovations House Fire / Cerritos RAW FOOTAGE

Check out the 5:10 to 5:25 mark to see how the firefighter feels it went classic brother.  Be careful to bash time for water application.  This is a coordinated attack maybe different from what we do but not bad.  It is tough to watch fire burn hang in there.  Thoughts guys please......

PPV Fan Oil Change Out

FF Schminke (E26A) demonstrates how to change the oil on our PPV fans.  When we have a fan that does not run smooth or dies out this will usually fix the issue.

Attic fire

I am not sure why they would call this doorway to hell.  Heavy fire in the attic pull ceiling and knock it down, I am not a fan of getting on the attic ladder and putting myself in that environment.  I would rather use the reach of my stream and have mobility on the ground. 

Structure Fire Hobart Street Interior Attack

Got this off the bravest skip to the 5 min mark unless you like seeing a response good video.  Attack was made with a fog pattern but that's just me being picky good job.

Firefighter gets out the window

At the 3 minute mark he calls a collapse.  I saw sheetrock falling.  I was not there obviously but have seen a problem with guys calling a sheetrock collapse a roof collapse.  These are very different events.  We need to coordinate attack, there needs to be a line up there before we pull a lot of ceiling so we don't just feed it oxygen. Great Ladder placement for rescue tips at the sill.  Learning from each other is awesome these guys were working hard thx brothers.
