  • On May 17th, 2023, A box alarm assignment was struck for a dwelling fire. Squad upon arrival reported a dwelling going, and Engine 34 stretched. Engine's 39 and 17 dumped their monitor on the fire. Crews were held to a defensive stance due to the structural integrity of the building.

    I like how Detroit doesn't seem to hesitate to employ a Master Stream at the outset of arrival at a lot of these incidents. It seems to help avoid extension to adjacent structures for sure. Great coverage. Got a portable radio scanner? Audio would be a great addition.

      Are you serious?...that discharge directed to the SECOND floor was a waste of water. Guess what happens with any bonfire if you wet only the superior part...
      That stream directed at the first floor has been 400% more useful. The vapor had to suffocate the flames on the 2nd floor helping the control.
      Worst of all, the FIRST engine must be made this, stopping 45° in front of a house corner, this way having access to two sides with one position.

    • @semproniodensso3353
      @semproniodensso3353 Před rokem +1

      The best exposure protection it´s putting the fire out ASAP. But they lack training in deck gun use. The discharge must be from the bottom up. What they do was a waste of precious tank water.

  • @dudeorduderorelduderino9087

    Good job by the on-scene command to adopt the "wait and see WTF we got here" on the front porch, instead of running into a death trap on a bullshit vacant structure. EVERYBODY GOES HOME!

    • @scotttiminey
      @scotttiminey Před 7 měsíci +2

      There was no tactics and strategy planning going on on the porch. They were waiting for water...for 3 1/2 minutes...unacceptable! Detroit swears by it, but the "Detroit Bundle" reverse lay shit they do doesn't work. They are lucky most of these fires are in abandoned structures. Waiting for 3 1/2 minutes for water before going in to effect a rescue is pathetic.

    • @photo39fireandrailphotography
      @photo39fireandrailphotography  Před 3 měsíci

      Hello, that is very possible. Detroit always does a reverse lay, and so they need a hydrant before they can send water. They do carry 500 gallons on the engine typically.

    primary search would only reveal remains if it was even done, fire conditions in the fire building were unsurvivable and structural integrity dictates a defensive attack at the outset. Textbook approach to firefight.

      First off they’ve been doing it this way for years secondly in Detroit a lot of the fire hydrants don’t work so instead of laying from a hydrant to the house and possibly taking a chance that hydrant doesn’t work they do reverse and go looking for a working hydrant this is Detroit not LA They have no money

      Monitor is also known as a water cannon (in this case used as a deck gun). Dumping the monitor means emptying the vehicle's water tank on a fire using the deck gun (monitors can also be portable nozzles that are removed from the vehicle for deployment closer to the fire or used as a vehicle mounted device).

      In Boston, the 500 gallons you referred to on the pump is called a booster line which has about 750 gallons of water

      @Marrio49 Před rokem +1

      They often use this for car fires, dumpster fires and for a first line in to a burning structure to check for occupants while the pump operator connects to a hydrant
      5 1/2 minutes into this fire before they had a charged 2 1/2 line throwing water onto the fire. Did any of you noticed this?
