    Chief, you did a good job of showing what life is like for the first-arriving command officer. Direction, accountability, size-up, water supply, communication with dispatch......oh, and trying to get your gear on at the same time.
    Good job.

      Thank you. The micromanaging is horrible. The IC shouldn't be telling rigs where to park, to pull up. Shouldn't have to tell the crews to pull a line. Tell the truck to ladder the building. Don't tell them how to ladder the building. I couldn't work for this guy. In my opinion if the chief has to tell the crews what to do and how to do it, there's an issue.

    Well 97% of your command is A+, although (constructive criticism ) you need a solid lesson on big water tactics especially when you have the amount of engines showing up, as seen in so many of these incidents. And my final thought, a 6hr trainer on combat breathing or have your personal portable radio reset for mic modulation. I cant tell if you were overly stressed on some of these and speaking extra loud, or something as simple as over modulating. But great content.

    • @joshuawalker4044
      @joshuawalker4044 Před rokem +1

      Meaning a “manufactured home”. Basically a house that is made in a factory and delivered to the building site. These homes are typically made with very cheap lumber and supplies, meaning they burn at a much faster rate than traditionally built homes. This is important information because it lets working crews know that the fire can greatly impact the structural stability of the home. Hope this helped!

      @keanuchungusmode9453 Před rokem +1

      I see what you mean with the second video. Theres a balance between micro managing and maintaining control. I've worked on scenes where the deputy chief is giving orders to pull this eave and hit the fire this way with no gear being way too involved. Then I've been on scene with a commander who had no control. Companies self dispatching to the call, freelancing on scene parking too close to the scene getting blocked in.
      Also: Let the initial attack officer do his 360 and attack the way he feels is safe and effective or switch to a rescue op. You promoted him for a reason. I can understand coordinating a hydrant location. Rit checks in and receives their assignment. As far as orders, vent roof from Charlie side is all is needed for example. The officer will coordinate who is grabbing ladders, saws, hooks and will check in when assignment is complete or if there is a major issue. Just my thoughts. Feel free to discuss. Always interested to learn

  • @paulzeigler7616
    @paulzeigler7616 Před 4 měsíci

    I think the criticism of micromanagement is perhaps misplaced. One thing I see radically different in these videos that I see in no others I've watched is getting water on the fire fast ....within minutes not 30-40 minutes as seen in many videos from NJ & NYC areas. I think the fast, early arrival hard core management is the way this water on the fire quickly goal is achieved, this batallion chief quickly accesses each site. And quickly seems to have a picture of where he wants each piece of equipment located and how lines are to be arranged, what feeds what, and how certain trucks feed into others,, which my guess is how he has water on the fires fast, and has multiple trucks connected so their internal water feeds from one to the next efficiently so fire fijghting isbd delayed until the hydrant lines are live. The way he gets everything set up then is already set for efficient high volume water on fire once the hydrants take over. If the chief is silent, I don't think the arriving trucks would end up being placed or set up and formatted feeding as efficiently to achieve both early water on the fire and then hydrant supply. It looks like a well oiled machine and like a very good sports team with a good coach and professional team players who don't mind home setting up the early plays while equipment is arriving. Once everything is set up, he seems to step back and let the team do it's thing. My only criticism would be that it seemed to me like the speed on water on fire was taking priority over a cursory search for occupants still inside on some calls where buildings were not yet fully involved. I think other fire departments should watch andlearn from this teams hustle. You see the team hustling, and no-one just standing around. Watch other videos of big city fire fighting in NJ & NYC and it's like watching a film in slow-mo. I understand urban firefighting is different, but in the other videos from East Coast areas, I see little or no hustle, water on fire is rarely less than 30 minutes and tons of guys just standing around. I guess those are backup teams that are needed to relieve the first teams when they must be rotated out...when fighting big fires in high rises and warehouses and bigger fires found in the urban areas... I don't know, I am not a FF.
