Inside a burning house

- On April 21, 2015, Columbian reporter, Emily Gillespie, geared up with the Camas-Washougal Fire Department to observe fire training on a Camas home. Gillespie partnered with Chief Nick Swinhart and entered the burning home where she learned about firefighting procedures and safety.
Okay people.... Yes, the firefighters started the fire. It was for training (as she said in the video)! Sometimes, people will donate cars, and even houses to the fire department so that they can train in real life scenarios, instead of using the same ol burn building that never actually burns down. And I can nearly promise that they're going to build a new, maybe even bigger house on this lot. If firefighters didn't train like this, they might not be prepared to save your life if your house starts burning down. Real life scenarios seem to be the best way to train...
exactly, in fact it is a cheap way to deal with an old building, you end up with way less material to remove so you save big time on demo costs.
No wonder there wasn’t any furniture
Yeah but this is a waste of a house someone could’ve just moved in there I would move into that house
UH OH STINKY POOOP Most likely somebody bought the lot and is going to build their own house ... so they had to get rid of the original one
God bless all these guys.. They all deserve medals and lots of love... They are real life heroes..
if any firefighters are watching thank you for the risks you take every day
thank you miller
Greg Miller your welcome and thank u :)
99 % of reply’s are fake
CraigsCraig how do you know😒
@@vanish-pacybits1935 Yep :-D
For those wondering why they let this house burn to the ground is because it was going to be demolished.
Contractors often call fire departments to come practice on old houses that need to be destroyed so the contractors can save thousands of dollars by avoiding the hard labor of demolishing a house.
Ok, for all of yall wondering why they are burning down a house. Its a controlled fire and most likely used for cadet training, and the house was most likely removed for a bigger building.
You are correct! The house was going to be demolished anyway for a housing development.
Don't know why people are asking this question when it was literally explained in the beginning of the video.
It was opposite day for them kinda...
We should all respect the police and the fire department cause they risk there lives to save us
I. Wosh. Yur. Veos
Like if you respect our local firefighters
Everyone should like this comment 🖕🏻
@@boyceofbros7943 wrong emoji dumbass
look i am a fighter i am how did this that was a heard work because when i went home my hand was soo bearnd
king hero either english isnt your first language, or your just a kid
Emilee and mason Yay My car blew up... I put the fire out before the firefighters even came...
Firefighters saved my home from being destroyed by a house fire that broke out in my neighbours home (our houses were attached) so much respect for these guys
Firefighters: we have successfully put out the fire
*card declines*
Firefighters: 2:05
As a former volunteer firefighter these training fires were a great way to put new firefighters in what it is like to be in an actual fire. It can be a way to see if any firefighters have developed any bad habits that they picked up over the years. Years ago when I was a member of an Explorer program we were brought in to knock down out first fire, there nothing better than to be on the nozzle fighting your first fire.
2:05 firefighters on opposite day
George Barrand Hhhaahahahahaaa!
XD
George Barrand it can never be opposite day cause if it is,its not 😜
George Barrand LOL WTF?
bro its is a test
or pratice
Have two houses that will be donated to volunteer fire departments. Sad to see them go, but the training they will provide... priceless.
Thank you for that. Those 2 houses will train countless people and save many lives
I seriously respect fire fighters so much. Risking their lives to save those of others, and also the shelter & investmemts they have made❤ God bless you all
Tinyan Odiase god bless their souls
Ghuhjyyh
Tinyan Odiase my dad is one
Tinyan Odiase yes good bless them all
Tinyan Odiase
I want to be a Firefighter when I am older in the future and rescue people from burning buildings
Go to the gym, you'll seriously need it.
Thank you for that comment and I will go the gym to get fit if I want to be big, strong and brave as a Firefighter
good idea bro firefighting is a good thing thing to get into ...I resently joined myself
Jesse Klassen I extremely doubt they would hire someone that cant even spell recently
Cedar Klutz lol
Thank you to all Firefighters ❤ You're all true hero's
Makes you wonder what was actually wrong with that house, looked honestly pretty nice
Eminent domain possibly.
I've been on training burns with houses 90X nicer than this that they burned down. In one instance we burned down a mansion, so the owner can build a bigger mansion 15ft closer to the lake. No lie....lol
Yes, but there must be a reason thus house was donated
likely was a meth lab. Every house we burned was either a meth lab or crack house unfit to be lived in due to chemicals used.
These people are amazing and extremely fit. I believe we need to be celebrating our emergency workers more and not just the military.
The city of Indianapolis did a training burn on my sister's old home she had rented for sev yrs. They lost nothing of course, but some great memories from those yrs, so still sad to see the place burn. Makes you think how terrible it would be to actually lose everything in a fire possibly incl family members.

I’ve seen this
Bad bad bad
Awesome video! Probably the best firefighting reporter story ever.
Y'all don't know how well fighting fire with fire works... and the pain of drying, managing and rolling a shit ton of hose. Respect to all volunteer and career firefighters out there..
You don't fight a house fire with fire. You can use fire to fight a wild fire.
Today my neighbour’s house got burned. There were a lot of firefighters and a lot of witnesses including me. Thank god everyone survived. It was my first time seeing a fire crisis. I pity the victims. I saw the firefighter’s truck. I look inside and there’s a lot of equipments there. Theres a very long ladder too. Alright, alright. Im gonna tell you how the house got burned.
- It was raining heavily
- A lot of thunderstorms
- Their power bank exploded 3 times
Don’t worry. Everyone is safe. We just went to random neighbour’s houses and stay there while the firefighters take down the fire. It was a fun experience.
Thank you firefighters, you all really saved my neighbours’ lives. Including me, of course.
Moral of this crisis:
Don’t play with your phone while charging. It will explode.
I been a firefighter for 15years, it’s good they are doing this live burn evolution because it’s the closet you’ll get to a fire as per training wise, we train very often because of the job we do .It helps us with remembrance and being able to refreshen our memories because of the different types of fire we encounter on a day to day basic.
This is why i never keep an open flame bear my pile of kitchen hay. Haha
2:08 *FIRE LIGHTERS*
I’m in fire cadets and I can’t wait to finally be old enough to help people
Hope that you still do, thank your for your service ❤️
The best job in the world!! Been doing it for 24 years now and love it!! Not everyone can be a firefighter!
The best job ever. Not all can do it. Firefighters love it. When I say Firefighters men and women 🐝
Not all Fire Fighters can do it. They put the uniform on, show up and think their job is done. Someone who Thinks, uses common sense and logic and actually CARES about saving property is a Real fire fighter. The rest just fill a void.
"The real heroes do not wear tight suits, they do not imitate spiders or
bats, they can not fly. And however, sometimes they die trying to do it!"
A phrase about firefighters. Regards from Venezuela.
Cudos to that FD for letting a journalist and camera into there... Very interesting to watch. I thank you for your heroic work.
Brings back memories of when our house went up in flames one night. Luckily we all made it out. A old space heater caught the curtains on fire. This was back in mid 90s
Did you use a GoPro for this?
lets appreciate the sacrifices the firefighters made for us to live
I like seeing when reporters get involved in training like these. I think that more people outside the fire service need to get more experience to really understand what it takes to be not only a firefighter, but any other job as a first responder.
I read some really ignorant comments here. Emily congratulations on this video. I am sure you learned quite a bit while doing this video. I hope you come away with the respect towards firefighters deserve and pass on what you have learned to others. I have in the past worked with female firefighters at alarms and they are a equal to male firefighters. It can be a difficult job but very rewarding. Stay safe.......
You had to mention the part about them being equal to male firefighters? What has this world come to
When your face is blackened and you stink from sweat and smoke we all look the same. So what is your point..........................
+pipesmoker Exactly what Im saying. You really didnt have to mention the part about females and males because we all look the same after our faces are blackened and we stink from sweat and smoke
Maybe so but when I was a volunteer some of our guys were very clear about no wanting to work with females on the line and did not want to have them in our district. Having worked side by side with both men and women I know first hand that females are equal to men. I personally do not have the endurance that some guys have but I always broke a sweat. I was always willing to have help, male or female. I was always willing to help also. Maybe i over reacted to your comment but reading what comments that were here and listened to others make negative comments regarding females in this type of work but anyone male or female who will spend the day in turnout gear and experience what a firefighter goes through deserves praise not negative comments.
pipesmoker
what head cam do they use
This leaned me wen u leave a fire ut spreads and I learned that you can use different stuff thnx helped me a lot
As told my granddad, he was a firefighter: "A burned thing won't be rotten".
If this house fire won't kill you.... the stock music in the background will.
In A Burning House Is A Dog Saying : "This Is Fine."
What is the music at the beginning
we saw a house go up in flames and burn to the ground in ten minutes btw nobody was home and it was down the street from our house so it wasnt our house
I’m watching because I’ve got one year till I can become a volunteer with my grandfather
tip -reach of stream is a beautiful thing! why get close to the fire when you can apply water from a distance at first.
This is amazing
My uncles house burned down today 😔...
I guess there training was worthless
?
Being a firefighter is a career path I might consider taking. When I get old enough I might try volunteering or something of the sorts.
i have alway wanted to be a fire fighter
I guess this must've been _Opposite Day.._
NFPA 1403, Standard on Live Fire Training Evolutions
Not a real fire , bit of training, controlled. Good training, real house fires are so different . Great job
I want to be a fire fighter when I'm older. Like if u want to be a fire fighter to
Meeeeee tooo btw im 13
Start as early as you can! Volunteer or participate in an explorers program near you. I started later (26) and im behind the 8 ball on guys 5 or 6 years younger than me!
Me: sees house burn down
Also me: wow amazing
ok
of course the big issue with training in this style is theres no massive plastics burning at twice the flash-point temperature in an oxygen starved environment.. no furniture in unknown configuration to trip over like in a real occupied structure.. plastics, wax, particle board, electronics etc all burn incredibly hot.. im not a firefighter but ive been around enough of them to learn a little about what happens when a fire breaks out in a modern home.. as garage full of gascans, aerosol cans , even propane tankls and a car is a SCARY site to see go up..
Christopher Abnett the last training burn my department had the house still had all the furniture in it still
Chris Not being a fire fighter gives you an Advantage over experienced and trained FFers. You don't have brain dead tactics clouding you head that have nothing to do with extinguishing what's burning. You can focus on your common sense and logic. If you see something burning, put water on it. If there's too much smoke, open the windows. Don't supply areas with oxygen if you aren't ready to apply water. Don't climb on the roof of a burning building. A lot of problems can be solved just by using common sense. Fire fighting colleges and instructors like to complicate things to make their jobs seem more difficult.. They actually Make it more difficult by not getting to the point. Watch FFing from other countries to see how it should be done. They get to the point.
I dont believe I have an advantage over experienced and trained FFers.. there are certain tactics that make sense.. I once watched a chief save the majority of a house by using a Thermal camera.. noting there likely wasnt fire in the attic but the second story was coming apart.. he sent guys to the roof to cut small holes and apply water using the idea that water in the attic would collapse the ceilings and flood the fire, along with water going in the second floor windows.. was this a good tactic? I have no idea. whether it was by "the book": or not but the fire was definitely knocked down before they ever introduced oxygen by entering the first floor.. it sure made the interior attack much quicker.. to me that was a good move and something that experience would bring.. I agree that the objective is to see fire spray fire, knock down then overhaul.. but alot of factors play in...
Chris I would have to see what they did but it didn't Sound to good. Sure there is a lot of great equipment, but the vast majority of fire fighters don't know how or when to apply it. There is very little good reason to be on a roof of a burning building. Roof venting doesn't work like they think at all. A structure is not a Chimney and can't work like one. But that's not the Real reason. When they introduce air into a smoldering attic, all the material burst into flame and creates a huge amount of pressure. The hole they cut can't release that pressure enough so the attic becomes a high pressure Cork in the bottle. Heat on the lower floors can't rise up to the hole even if it could get through the ceiling. (Damper). You release pressure a floor at a time as you go up by opening the top sash of the windows in rooms that are affected by Fire not just smoke. The pressure created in one burning room will try to be released through an unburned room if you open the window. High pressure to lower pressure. There is some science involve in fire fighting but main stream departments have not thought it through.
Still better then the burn building
This is awesome!!
can i ask a genuine question, why is it that the majority of houses built in the US are constructed mainly from wood, considering the likelihood of fires within a particular state due to arsonists/criminal damage or even weather etc? wouldn't it be cheaper to convert buildings being built into something designed with a concrete structure, especially when taking the cost of building more houses, and or repair costs into consideration? im mearly surmising, thanks
I'm curious about this house and if anyone knows about it, what year is this house and why were they using it for training? Was there something wrong with the house? Someone said in the comments it was abandoned, why?
The house was not abandoned. The city of Vancouver bought the homes from owners because the land was going to be commercially developed. The homes were going to be torn down regardless. So instead of tearing them down, the fire department used them for training.
For those wondering why they let this house burn to the ground is because it was going to be demolished.
Contractors often call fire departments to come practice on old houses that need to be destroyed so the contractors can save thousands of dollars by avoiding the hard labor of demolishing a house
Was this training
Interesting fact most people don't know, even when you have a thirty minute tank on your SCBA (self contained breathing apparatus) the oxygen only lasts about 12-17 minutes, varying from person to person.
+Dicky Mac Another interesting fact. SCBA isn't filled with oxygen. It is filled with the same air you are breathing right now. Just kidding. I know what you meant. lol
That's only if you don't train. I make a 30 minute bottle last at least 25 minutes before the low air alarm starts vibrating. After that, I have about 5 more minutes before I'm empty.
Interested fact, skip breathing makes your air last longer. Breathe in, half, breathe in, hold, breathe out, hold, repeat.
I can make a 2216 tank last longer than 30 minutes.
I love the look of fires in buildings
You ever see it roll across the ceiling like that? Its neat. Then you put the wet stuff on it and the flames turn to steam and collapses to the floor. That's why there's a vapor barrier in the bunker gear they wear.
I was just thinking most peoples first reaction to a house fire is run away from it fire fighters first reaction *puts helmets on* run towards it
Everythings gangsta, until michale myers walks out with halligan bar.
Seymour! The house is on fire!
I get Quarantine vibes from this lol
Why do they put the building on fire?
great job
Where I am a house near our neighborhood was caught on fire and burnt down multiple houses
You guys need to make a film with the Yakima fire dept or west valley fire dept
Nice video of how quickly fire spreads through a house. Subtitles of spoken text would have been a help. Often hear that it takes a long time from when the fire crew arrives to when they actually are putting water on the fire. Perhaps a good topic for a future video?
Actually, it really doesn't take long at all. The engine is ready usually within 2 minutes tops to pump water after arrival. It's a case by case thing, because in real house fires they send firefighters to first find a way in, then try to determine the source of the blaze. What usually takes so long from what I've seen is determining how to route the fire hose so it doesn't get punctured. Like I said, it's case by case because no house is the same. I'm not a professional or volunteer firefighter, so don't quote me on any of that. That's just my past experience of watching house fires and procedures leading to my conclusion.
We (or at least my department and one's I've worked with in my area) actually train a lot to speed up the time from arrival to flowing water to getting hooked into the hydrant. IE: we show up and, if the fire is significant or can become significant (IE: Room and contents), we will lay 5 inch hose from the hydrant and drive it to the house. It is then hooked in once the truck stops. Meanwhile one or two men (depending on a few factors, chiefly manpower) connect the five inch to the hydrant (it is often wrapped around the hydrant to safely lay out the five inch as the truck drives from the hydrant to the scene, thus not putting unneeded stress on connections) and prepping to open the hydrant. However, as soon as the truck stops, the attack team goes to work. before the hydrant is hooked up to the truck, they pull hose that is already connected from the cross lay (found under the pump panel at the deck on our engines) these are already setup and connected to the pump with a nozzle on the end all we have to do is pull it off and advance on the fire. Because we have a reservoir of water we can begin tackling the fire almost immediately on arrival. Obviously the hydrant team has to get the hydrant flowing to the truck as soon as possible to continue the attack and avoid leaving the attack team in a tight spot. Thus, we practice regularly to improve the efficiency of this task so all of this becomes second nature.
thanks to every fire fighter, there was an electricity tower burning near our house but they risked and saved us, thanks
Was this an example house or an actual persons house?
No.
It was a training fire in a home that was donated for them to burn down.
Great save!
I feel kinda sad... that house was still a lot nicer than my house, even after the first couple fires...
I hope I can live in Columbia one day.
Wonder If you say to a Firefighter. Can you turn on the candle and when he/she Said “nope i Can only turn it off”
I wouldn’t be afraid to go into burning buildings
Thank you Jesus for life everyday!
she is like the most adorable adult women ever
Perv
How is he a perv or a creeper
can someone imagine they started a fire in the wrong house👁👄👁
just be careful cuz you never know you might run out of air
there's a gauge on the air pack (SCBA) that she was wearing that tells her how much air she has.
oh wow so fascinating
2:11 fire fighters with a flame thrower, interesting
Grant English ?Lollo
Lplllplll
Grant English Fight fire with fire.
It was a training fire...
Its NOT a flamethrower. Just a torch.
I will hire him to stop us from the zombie apocalypse
Right on Emily! I would try that too!
I like the fast-forwarding...
2:10 now that's a job I am willing to do without payment
Most firefighters in the US are volunteers.
You looked so pale after taking off the helmet, imagine the heat!
Hope you are ok
My neighbors house caught fire earlier today so me "14" I decided to step up to the challenge of saving there house because the fire department is 45 minutes away so I called 911 and then I broke there glass door so I could check if anybody was stuck inside so I cleared the house I was able to put out the fire before the firefighters arrived
Good job.
@@williamwestmoreland4069 thank you
My father takes risks every 2 days working 24 hr shifts at the fire dept. if you think thats not brave yu need ti be in their shoes.
Most ppl say wasting food is bad... they just wasted a house but a bad one
No they did not "waste" a house. They used a donated house to practice their craft in order to serve their community better. That is not a waste.
The smoke color and that thermal layer got me nervous
This example is very back for the atmosphere
Trust me, not nearly as bad as all the vehicles that drive on the roads everyday, don't think the atmosphere will implode based on house fires.
Oh my God😱
I love fire fighter track
Cool
Homeless people watching this are just like “come on man”

yeah dats crazy
Hi guys today my dad was upstairs talking to use to go to bed I smelled something weird downstairs and my dad smelled it too is rushed downstairs to check and the food was burned but there no fire so we're safe phew 😊
That house *LOOKED* nice
😥
Its very interesting to watch but when you enter a house fire and apply water the first thing that happens is you lose visibility and the steam produced by the water expands 1700 times to cook you, you have to know when to use water and when to use the light of the fire to enable a rescue.
Two reasons fires are bad
One: It polluts the air
Two: It wates water but it help saves lifes
