This department is an example of a textbook response. Great job and this community is very fortunate to have such a well trained, and well equipped department.
We pulled up on the scene within 5 minutes of dispatch. The house was already fully involved. We used our deck gun which we refer to as quick water while the crew pulled a 2" handline. There was a firefighter from a nearby community who was in the area and he pulled 5" to get permanent water. Had it all knocked down in 10 minutes and ready for overhaul.
Really nice to see a fire department use a deck gun for it's intended purpose rather than pulling an 1 3/4" inch line just because it's pre-connected. Great job by the Delavan Fire Department. Quick knockdown and establishing a water supply.
Hands down, the best attack I've ever seen on YT. The big deck guns cost the taxpayers major money, yet they rarely get used! This department needs an award for their training and handling of a fully involved doubtful. Awesome job guys!
Story has it that a senior firefighter arrived first and quickly scoped out the scene. Then gave orders for the first arriving to use the deck gun. Great job with planning ahead!!!!! Also, great job at quick water hookup!
Now that's what I am talking about! You guys had it knocked and had water, before 2nd due arrived. It's not your fault that it had advanced to a large trash fire before you got there but you stopped it in it's tracks and protected exposures! Great Job.
Awesome job by the first engine to actually attack the fire with some water. Seems like every fire video I watch, the first responders are always lollygagging around for 10 minutes before attacking the fire. Really enjoyed this video.
EXCELLENT! Use that 500 -1,000 gallons of water on your pumper FIRST! That's why it's there. Delavan had water on the fire, knocking it down considerably, as it took about two minutes for the engineer with the help of a few other to lead off at the hydrant. The deluge gun on the engine probably didn't use 200 gallons before the new water from the hydrant was in its tank. I keep thinking or the Cincinnati fire Lieutenant who teaches on CZcams, "For us, JOB ONE is to get water on the fire." What a difference five wasted minutes make in letting the fire spread... even to the neighboring building. I have watched responses on CZcams when it too over ten minutes to get water on the fire. Kudos to Delevan!!!
BIG initial hit (good thing that hydrant was so close), jogging firemen, first hand line protected the B exposure, AND the cameraman was considerate enough to stay across the street and well out of the way of the firefighters. So much win in this video. I hope the hydrant was clean enough that they could get away without flushing it first.
Great job! hit it fast and hard. Awesome. everyone did there job. Great to see and department that cares about saving property and lives. Your community should be proud.

FF on the deck gun was an artiste!!!! One of the most coordinated crews I have seen....
Even the cop went to assist the firefighters... and stepped out of the way as soon as they had it handled... impressed.
This is by far the fastest fire dept all working together. They didn't waste anytime whatsoever. Great job guys!!

Smart, heads up move by the officer to use the deck gun for a quick knock down

I have watched the Delavan FD in action even with their practice fires as a Fire/Incident photographer.
All Fire Departments should be shown this video. That's how it done great job!

Yes this is delavan wi and that particular engine has a 2000 gallon water capacity

One of the best attacks I’ve seen on CZcams for a long time!!!! Excellent use of a deck guy. Textbook attack!!!! Well done.
This is by far the most impressive fire video I've ever seen congratulations Delavan Fire Department quick react
