      They were panicking maybe due to a severe lack of practice. When in a crisis, that's the worst that can happen to you. Just like a pilot running in circles while the plane is plummeting downwards. I suppose it's also the power lines that caused them some trouble. There might be some risk of getting electrocuted when pointing a hose on it. Another problem here is the absence of a radio, so the Battalion Chief (if that bloke in a blue T-shirt is the Chief) has to scream and shout above all this din to lead his troops. Which is a bit bizarre as I could hear some transmitter squawking in the background! So there was a radio, but not for the bloke in a blue T-shirt.

      @@jurgenkuhlmann9194 In the last 150 years, around the world, not one case of FF being electrocuted because electricity has traveled down the fire stream has been reported. Joining electricity and water are dangerous, but no risk exists...electricity do travel in a channel or on a pool of water...but on fire streams only in laboratory conditions (3,000 volts and two feet max distance). A fire stream it´s formed by millions of water droplets traveling together, with no continuity.

    I was told once years ago that if you put the fire OUT, all the other problems go away.
    No more heat...
    No more smoke to breathe...
    No more arcing wires...
    No more exposure problems...
    No more reasons to yell at each other.
    The sooner the fire is out, the sooner all of the associated problems go away.

    This is the first time in my long-lived life that I have watched a man in short pants and a tee shirt shouting orders to firefighters by using demanding, loud, and harsh vocal addressing to those he is commanding while grabbing at the hose nozzle to make his point. Albeit, it is also my first time ever to witness a firefighter having a shouting match with anyone, civilian or a Command Officer on the fire ground while working a fire in progress. I assume that the pants and tee-shit guy must have been an officer in the department having some senior rank. However, issuing orders to anyone on the fire ground demands that an officer must be dressed properly for firefighting and present himself in the correct, orderly, and official manner. Certainly not running around appearing to be out of self-control, screaming orders, and expecting senior firefighters to accept his demands and orders without question. This department without question needs a lot of training from the top down in my opinion, not only in how to show proper respect for/to/by all members of the department, but also in demonstrating themselves to be knowledgeable and proficient in firefighting and rescue.
    Further, the out-of-control temperament was fast spreading throughout the video, with firefighters hollering at each other as if they were in some sort of screaming match to see who could give the loudest and most demanding voice to those handling the hose line. The unnecessary shouting of continued even after a second line had been put into play, making the scene sound like utter chaos in action. Still further, unless I misunderstood the inference, one firefighter was threatening to go after and to get that "Guy", what that meant, I can only guess, but it did seem that he did not appreciate something that had occurred. The whole fiasco was about as unprofessional as I have ever heard about from others, but never before witnessed myself.

The chiefs and deputies in these places have zero control and cant manage a single fire. Its obvious that the line personal want to work and are proficient in their skills but the officers are a constant let down. Establish command/accountability and rule it with an iron fist. It shouldn't be this difficult.

    after taking a moment to look up were this fire was on google maps its clear that the crews that were on scene need to have some more training and cut the ego out of getting to the fire first. with the fire side being alpha side, if one guy took a 360 he would have found they had safe access to the fire from the bravo, charley side from a vacant lot 2 doors down. i understand why the I,C told them to back off but the way he did it was not right on the other side the nozzle man need to have an ass chewing for not listing to command. i don't care if your first to the scene or not. if you slip up once, you will be first in the grave. all it takes is 30 seconds to make a scene safe.

    The single best thing you can do for the safety of the people on scene is to PUT THE DAMN FIRE OUT. If you out the fire out the power lines won't burn off.
    It looks to me like the line that was burning off was the service line which looks to have a very short run between the pole with the street light on it and the garage. Even if they burned off its not like that short of a run would reach low enough to cause a real hazard. Even so once again the problem goes away if you PUT THE DAMN FIRE OUT instead of standing in the street yelling incoherently at each other.
