- Training Minutes: Nick Martin and company examine some of the issues firefighters face when confronting fires in knee walls, including ventilation concerns, storage fuel load, and more.
These videos are for training demonstration purposes only. When you perform these techniques at emergency scenes and evolutions, be sure to wear full PPE and adhere to your agency's procedures and policies.
This video originally ran on the Fire Engineering site in late 2014.
One of the best Training minutes I’ve seen! Because it was real, they ran into issues and worked around them, and got it done in a realistic manor. And they actually tore up the house which always give a much better understanding than training props. Great stuff!
you probably dont care but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Jude Caspian Instablaster =)
@Vivaan Ignacio I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Vivaan Ignacio it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass!
@Jude Caspian you are welcome xD
knee walls, one of the many structural nemeses for firefighters. Nice video guys.
I learn something every time. This highlighted to me the importance of a coordinated fire attack. Vent the roof first before opening up the knee walls.
Outstanding video and so true about knee walls. What a structure to be able to train on.
Great training video, and what a great training opportunity! The difference in the strength between traditional frame & rafter construction vs modern truss on prefab wall construction is crazy.
Wow! Excellent job!
This was a phenomenal training video! I have firefighter friends and still learned new things. As a visual person, this was perfect! I've lived in houses like this and always wanted to know the fire pattern possibilities, now I know. I added this to my channel for others to learn to. Thanks!! From an EHS professional with mop and glow experience. 😉
Really well done and excellently explained video on knee wall strategies!! Thanks for making and sharing!
awesome video! puts a visual to the powerpoint slides we've all read 1000 times
Great video. I’ve always found it more helpful to keep the second fire fighter down below the sawer minding his foothold and out-of-the-way of the smoke and flames and then after the sawer is done he can go up and pull the sheathing And typically starting with the top cut east and west than the far cut north and south than the cut closest to the north and south and obviously the bottom cut west and east and pulling the sheathing completely off and getting rid of it it’s always served me well.
Those guys looked so badass staged upstairs waiting to wreak havoc on those walls! Awesome video, keep up the great work, men!
Thank you!
Good stuff. I find myself training off duty a lot.😄
As we should!
So, it's "safe" to assume that this CAPE style house has knee walls?
Good food for thought. Don't think that tactic would work in some departments though because that roof cut is very time confusing and the engine is really going to be chomping at the bit. In NY we don't like waiting 3 minutes for a slice of pizza! Excellent video though on knee walls and concealed spaces. Thank you.
Professionals have discipline and don't have a problem waiting when command is coordinating an attack. It's probably an issue for vollys and chaos command structures.
Liking the video I’m a truckie truly what about another cut in the middle of the ventilation and a kerf cut b able to get the hook into better lots of information there on the knee wall keep it going Fire Engineering until then all brothers and sisters of the fire service keep ur helmets on and stay safe for 2021
A better louvre may be created by locating the truss and cutting one louver over one truss, AND make a small cut that crosses both the top and far right cut. That way, if you can punch it down to open it, you can use the hook, snag an edge, and pull it open. Not dropping your louvre in the hole can also be beneficial. Also, make certain to overlap your cuts and get good depth so you don't have to go back and cut twice.... or more.
count the rungs of the ladder 4 to 5 rungs from the gutter line will get u in the knee walls
Great video - thank you 🙏. Helpful for fools that might not otherwise listen without your short vid; sure you helped some ff somewhere +me ;-)
It happens
is that a training house or some ones house
Too many cuts
