That must be one of those " let it burn itself out fires " .
Im sitting here watching this video SCREAMING at my phone "where's the damn water!?!?!?"
Be wary of your blood pressure.
Wornderful on scene coverage ! Thanks for posting !
Jus for clarification before bundle firefighting tactical bashing, this isn't the Houston Fire Department (HFD) suppression and exposure activities, but is a neighboring fire department located to the north side of Houston. If it was HFD multiple ladder pipes and master defensive streams would have been flowing much earlier. These are mainly large volunteer fire departments that cover Aldeine area of north northwest side of Houston. HFD kicks butt on these types of fires!!!
kicks butt..and kills people.
does anyone know where Houston gets their bunker gloves from ? or where to find some ?
I hope that no one got killed or got burnt alive escort that you caught the footage to let the population know what's going on keep up the good work.
Most people die from the smoke before they burn. Somewhat better than burning alive.
No water? No pressure?
large discharge cap on closest hydrant was immovable
Hm have anyone ever thought that hmmm maybe the water pressure in this area could be low that's why they could be taking quite a while. Nobody? Everyone just scrolled down and put their 2 cents about what they could have did better?
Water, anyone? Anyone??
hydrant was limited to the 2 1/2 discharge due to steamer cap painted shut
Dang....thanks man! The Fire Department would have NEVER thought of using water on this fire. You are are a natural-born firefighting GENIUS!
Lots of fire engine on the scene already.....did someone cut off the water instead of the power? It took them a long time to get water on it.
I must be missing something. Why do they wait so long before putting water on the fire ? And then turn the water off. Do they 2ant it to burn the whole place down ?
Praying fr the families
I was a volunteer fireman for St.helens Oregon for seventeen years and we had a a big warehouse on fire and it was hard to fight the fire because we found out that the owner of the building had turned off all the water supply off so we had to drop a tail and had the next fire truck pump water to us and we had .. it sucks because we used all are 5 inch hoses on are bed and they had to take a hydrant to put water to us and and it took so long to get water to us. We use all are water we cared on are firetruck before they got water to us.
Well that escalated slowly.
woww great fire footage!!
I don't know why these Yt ff people are leaving negative comments, these departments did an excellent job knocking out this giant fire! They might have had some water pressure problems!?
Also, excellent job with getting this video! 🎥 Very sorry for these people who lived there! 🙏
Why did it take so long to put water on it
What no water?
Wow bad gezz ! Hope no one injured
The good news no one hurt in this incident. The bad news everyone got awoken about 1 AM to find their homes were being destroyed by fire. This video starts well after the fire got started and there is not much that is known about how advanced the fire was before it was reported. This indicates that Houston's fire protection services did things right regarding occupant and firefighter safety.
Waited till it was burned down to throw the stick? WTH?? Lines on the ground, not even charged!
What is the problem ? Where in Houston is this?
Don Brinkman no kidding !
large discharge cap on closest hydrant was immovable...how long do you beat on the hydrant cap to try to open it risking breaking the cap before choosing the next best option of the smaller discharge?
A couple of what I think may be relevant points. First, the video is from a very limited perspective and it is virtually impossible to evaluate what was going on firefighting wise. I do know the Eastex FD Facebook page indicates the building was fully involved upon arrival so I suspect the first priority was to protect exposures. Firefighting 101 (after life safety) is contain, control and extinguish; therefore the first available water would be used on exposures to contain the fire, which would not be visible in the video. Also, it should be noted that the Eastex Fire Department achieved an ISO Class 1 rating in 2016, so it looks like the professionals who rate fire departments think they are doing something right.
Eastex.. Aldine.. Pondarosa. & Little York were the volunteer depts. Spring had 2 engines go on 1st alarm. They are a paid Dept like HFD . All responded under automatic aid agreement
That is really sad for a FD.!
Did they ever discover the cause of the fire?
jvolstad They said it was deliberately started by a young man following a fight with his girlfriend.
If you rent an apartment……make sure you have TENANTS insurance. The property owner is not responsible for your belongings.
where is the fucking water? I see a building burning. No firefighting. what's the story?
hiding within a hydrant with the steamer cap painted shut
They did a mighty fine job keeping people safe. Y'all should be aware that there can be problems with water supply such as lowering in pressure or no water in the area at all, as well as what happened in this case, the hydrant near the area was painted shut by some idiot who can't watch where he painted. Good job HFD, another one for the win.
SO SAD😡
What's taking the firemen soooooo long to put water on the building.
large discharge cap on closest hydrant was immovable
get some water on it for crying out loud...why are they all standing around watching it burn?..ladder truck arrived 14 minutes in...it should have been the first to arrive to a multistory event.....its sickening to watch
Waiting on water supply.. defense fight.. trucks and buckets needs large water
Fire walls? I think not.
Not in local Houston ordnance or construction requirements for fire stops
actually there was one in the middle of the building
Firefighters@6:30 need training on master streams, put the nozzle under the hose sure helps hold the nozzle one man can easily handle a 2.5 master @,100psi
not eastex crew; at least they finally had all their gear on by the time they were on camera
Put the wet stuff on the red stuff, It works better that way !
There is always....ALWAYS some ignorant dick on here making the same ignorant unimaginative remark. Sharp comment Carl. How long did it take you to think it up?
Although a great video and well edited, I must ask a question: Why do American firefighters (not all) wait until a building is completely ravaged by fire. At one point 5 firefighters standing with 2 hoses at their feet. Here’s an idea, pick up hose and spray water. Simple.
At what point can you clearly see everything going on in the video and know all the details concerning the situation. Answer you cant and dont. The building was well involved by the time fd arrived and there were apparently water pressure issues and it's hard to fight a fire without water. Add to that the water available was used to help protect exposures.
Looters still burning things down this doesn't prove anything 😡
arrived at the fire and do not extinguish
Александр Конышев arrived at this video and do not comment well!
Cood 3
bizzare fire fighting for sure, or lack of.Pre-planning of are by fire Department is a rather over statement.
Are or were you ever an active duty firefighter?
John bizarre comment from someone who wasn’t there
@@glennhuber4975 true, but a fire chief did say they planed at this complex, it appears to have got away from them, tragic non the less, I mean non foul.
@@retiredarthritic2083 no, just arm chair quarter back , just going on what appears, no water , looks like kayaus , fire fighters with no water on the fire .
bizarre in that only the top floor sustained fire damage and no extension to exposures. it was a hell of a stop considering the water supply issues
BISOGNA ESSERE BRAVISSIMI PER LASCIARE BRUCIARE UN INTERO CASEGGIATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERGOGNATEVI I VOSTRI CAPI DEVONO CAMBIARE LAVORO, PASCOLARE PECORE PER ESEMPIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought I was watching a fire fighting video. Turns out I was watching a fire watching video. But why waste water, it will burn itsself out eventually. Glad I don't live in Houston.
So , they think ...... those are not mine ..... let it burn to the ground!
iamdave47 another armchair firefighter!! Nice of you to join! So let’s start out by saying your an asshole, what do you know about firefighting? The apt roof is gone, and possible collapse has happened. You can’t see everything that’s going on in the video because he don’t stay still. So please refrain from bad comments until you can get off our ass, become a firefighter and learn what goes into it
we're pretty happy about you not living in Houston too
@@txfireman521 lol
You seem like the type of guy whod be at the fire scene while screaming and asking where's the water?
If you didn't know, the fire hydrant was painted shut,so they couldn't open the cap to discharge the water. That make facts better for you? Also, stay away from Houston, where they have a much better fire department than where you are.
Wow the worst firefighting i have ever seen yea just stand around and watch it burn to the ground and where the hell is the water and are these guys real firefighters they looked pretty lost time to fire all firefighters and hire new ones im just glad that my fire Brigade in dublin ireland isnt this bad greetings from dublin ireland 🇮🇪
goth vampire satanist666 awww how nice, gonna sit In Your chair from Ireland and tell us how to put out our fire? I see a lot of water flowing, and a lot of people working to contain this. What we can’t see , is all of what’s going on because it changes perspective a lot. So sit in Ireland, have a pint and let us deal with US fires
and...just how many hours, oops, minutes, of coverage did you watch before coming to that conclusion? troll!
Way to give the Irish a bad name.

This is obviously one of those agencies that is totally defensive. If there is no life at risk, contain the fire and let it burn. On of the reasons homeowner insurance is sky high in that area too.
I can tell you this is not Houston Fire Department (HFD) firefighters and 3rd alarm tactics!!! HFD kicks these types of fires almost daily!
homeowner insurance premiums related to fire coverage is lower because this department has an ISO rating of 1, just like Houston. The homeowner premiums that are high are due to the crime
actually there were a great number of HFD duty crew working this fire on their part time jobs

They ever hear of H2O?? This is terrible!!
No kidding !
Don Brinkman ever hear of thinking before you comment? Guess not!!
ever hear of a steamer discharge cap being painted shut and having to use the 2 1/2" discharge for water supply for 2 pumpers and a tower until a tanker showed up?
Don brinkman another troll extraordinaire. I've seen this guy not pick alot of other firefighters videos sometimes over the most trivial thing too. Seems hes just miserable and wants to spread it around. Armchair experts are the same the world over so convinced of their own superiority and perfection regardless what the subject matter. They cant fathom the possibility that they could be wrong. If you Don are the final word in what a professional firefighter is expected to be then sir why are you not out there saving lives and property and being the glorious shining example to all the amateurs. Hmmm curious thing that.

First of all numb nuts none of that made any sense if you are going to comment in the English language first it behooves you to learn proper sentence structure and grammar. Second it would help if you spelled words correctly and thirdly al least attempt to structure a sentence in such a way that it makes sense based on the words you are using in that sentence. Your comment was complete gibberish. You either acted stupid on purpose for reasons I can't fathom or you truly are completely ignorant of how yo speak English in a way that actually has meaning to it.
