@FirefighterNOW Fresno FD is one of the oldest departments in the US. Its the 5th largest city in California and its FD has 20 fire stations including an ARFF station protecting Fresno Yosemite International Airport. They are tasked with protecting over 500,000 residents.
So lucky. I can’t believe that guy was still breathing after I saw all that smoke and fire in that room
Just as a heads up. Garages are living quarters for many people.
In San Bernardino a few years ago, one of our guys cut through the metal garage door and rescued two people.
The dept I work for neighbors Fresno fire, you mentioned the passing of command to a senior officer. Which Fresno does follow however they don’t have LTs, just captains. In this case I believe he passed command to the second due engine company because they had a rescue and he didn’t want to have to focus on two jobs (being IC and helping with the rescue)
He wasn't worried about seniority passing command he just wanted to off-load command so he could transition to lead rescue operations.
I was neighbor to the house where captain Pete dern fell thru the roof
@@eliassanchez420wakenbake ever been to the sequoia national park? I just bought land and moved here!
@@lifeisa.smalllesson4607 yea when I was a lot younger. I lived pretty close to Yosemite for many years and still have a house their
@@eliassanchez420wakenbake nice! I haven't been there in many years... I'm not from Cali. I'm from the east. The fires that happened this year were creeping right up on me...it was too close for comfort. Lol
Hbu?
My city!!! So proud of them!
Good commentary. I appreciate your acknowledgement that there are differences between fire & rescue services. This certainly depends upon personnel (e.g. staffing levels, level of training and experience), equipment (types, specifications, next in and budgets) as well as exposures (population demographics & density, fuel loads, special hazards and weather).
In my rural area we have many smaller departments in the county and alarms are a county level thing. So from initial callout up we are calling different departments per alarm since each department only has the man power to get 2-3 vehicles out the door on a good day.
Very impressed, as always (and I've seen a lot up close unfortunately) by the dedication, professionalism and efficiency of FFs. Upmost respect to the the ladies and gentlemen who wear those uniforms !
Awesome job commenting this video. Just finished FF2 last week, we looked into ICS, loved that many important points were hit in this call. Love your channel!
Absolutely amazing grab. I'm damn near left speechless by this footage.
Super instructive and informative.
Great review! Not too far away from Fresno and they do solid work!!
The “Rescue mode” statement also helps by overriding the need for 2-in/2/out and will sometimes reprioritize expected assignments from the SOP/SOG. Passing command, out West, can also be typically passed to the second due company, excepting trucks, for any incident that is established and requires task level operations for the first due officer. Truck companies are usually exempted from taking command due to the usual expected assignments of vent, forcible entry, and/or search.
I live in Fresno 😁
@@lzgbonesy4090 same! I absolutely hate how there’s nothing to do here tho
Great job by everyone involved. Like you said all the bases were covered on this one.
County where I’m from (San Mateo County, California) A structure fire assignment consist of (5) engines, (1) truck company (2) battalion chiefs and If the assignment grows to a 2nd alarm an additional (3) engines (1) truck (2) battalion chiefs (1) communications operator and (1) breathing support. Obviously the more alarms the more resources brought to scene.
Great explanations 🚒🚒
The M.A.B.A.S
Mutual
Aid
BOX
ALARM
SYSTEM.
M.A.B.A.S. is a system developed by Chicago and the State of Illinois after the great Chicago Fire. It started. standardization that wasn't around prior to that fire. There was many things that hindered the fire fighting efforts during the great Chicago fire. From different threads on hydrants and hoses, to communications, to just in compatibility of hose connections. Just about every community had different threads or couplers on their hoses, pumps, and hydrants. This kept different departments from helping the Chicago fire department fight the fire. MABAS got these departments to work together and Standardization among these different departments and communities. Now even our Air pack bottles have Standardization in connection threads to refill the bottles. Attack Hoses are mostly National Standard thread and most large diameter hose/Transfer Hoses are Storks connector. This makes it where a fire department from Maine can send assets to a California Wild fire and it should work with little or no issues. After hurricane Katrina my department got equipment from all over the country including a fire engine from Winter Park, Florida.
I originally was a Volunteer Firefighter from Southeastern Wisconsin trained to a high standard. Had completed Firefighter I, First Responder medical training, Hazmat Operations, Firefighter II, all before my high school graduation. Was taking more classes in College while I was still working and getting my high school diploma. We had department training every Monday night, then the other training was Tuesday and Thursday nights and additional training on the weekends. All transportation cost came out of our own pockets. If we needed special gear or equipment usually the department would purchase it if they could afford it otherwise the Volunteers would come up with the money. I needed larger gloves so I purchased my own and continued to do so every 3 years for 21 years. The lights and sirens volunteer firefighters have are purchased out of their own pockets. This isn't cheap and the additional maintenance costs as well fuel cost comes out of these guys pockets. This takes away from their family budgets, strains their families. Volunteer Firefighters, and Emergency medical personnel are some of the most strained families and highest divorced people in the United States. But these people do this for their communities. Food for thought the first paid Firefighters in the country was April 1, 1853, Cincinnati, Ohio and still to this day in the United States of America 70% of the fire departments are still Volunteer Fire Departments
Awesome job Fresno FD!!!
Thank you! You’re Amazing
I am in Fresno, and an avid scan fan. First alarm for a residential fire is usually 3 engines and 2 ladder trucks plus a battalion chief and investigator. A second alarm adds 2 more engines and 1 truck.
A commercial fire first alarm is basically 4-5 engines and 2 ladders, battalion and unvestigator.
The Fresno FD currently has 20 stations, some though have engines only while 5-6 have ladder trucks.
Today, we had two two alarm fires on opposite ends of the city, and FFD had to suspend medical aid calls...which is a FFD unit responding with our contract ambulance service to a medical call...so, for a while, it was only the ambulance service responding.
For a few years now, our city has had a huge problem with homeless squatters breaking into vacant homes and businesses and being careless...and then those buildings go up in flames...and some have been set on fire multiple times.
Thank you for this video! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for explaining the Termanology to us all. Very helpful. I hear the term division one/division two mentioned in some videos. Does this equate to the first floor and second floor? If so, how does the term division help with communication? Great video and thanks again!
yes it does mean first/second floor, a couple reasons ive been told why “division” is used instead of floor is to differentiate between attics/basements. as well as to ensure people on scene know your talking about a floor level and not the floor itself.
great job guys !!
It's wierd how the fire is so big and blazing even though it's raining
We rarely get driving rainstorms here. We've been in a constant drought for the last several years.
Another thing is that they switched to the chainsaw for the extrication of this victim, you have to remember what tools are in your toolbox and know if another tool will work better or faster. 26 years and never had a victim rescue or doa inside although Other shifts did.
Hey Firefighter now, I’m 17 wanting to be a firefighter and I was thinking of going into the military for a few years then becoming a firefighter in my home town. Is there anything I should do after my service in the military? Like do I still have to take EMT programs, study fire science, do firefighting volunteering, or can I just join my fire department? Sorry if this is an obvious question, I just don’t want to make any mistakes and then not become a firefighter. It’s been my dream since I was 5
Check the hiring requirements for the department you want to get hired by, doing anything more than that will obv make you a better candidate..gl
Literally just got out of the military and trying to get into the fire dept. highly suggest you get a job in the military that allows you to work on your medical licenses. Corpsman, Medic etc. this will set you up really nicely for getting hired quickly as you will be already an EMT basic. If you can get a job that gives you AEMT or Paramedic you will be lined up SUPPER nicely.
The abcd of the house will forever be in my memory bc of this guy
8:53 *IT'S KIND OF FUNNY, THAT PPL CAN UNDERSTAND CERTAIN THINGS WHEN BADLY INJURED FROM UR TRAINING.....* they said "put ur leg down so we can cut ur close off" in the vid. I had a bad fatal MVC w/PEDESTRIAN a number of yrs ago(drunk homeless guy on the hwy, his fault thankfully). I was confused bc on maj facial trauma(fractured cheek & forehead, nose broken & others) & had no idea what was occurring at the time but realized things were vary bad when they said "trauma naked" & "trauma center", that & seeing blood all over the medics gloves, like tons dripping off.....I knew something was wrong but didn't realize how bad til next day, but being a FF, I understand trauma naked.
Awesome vids bro, keep em' coming & Stay Safe!!
Haven’t seen victim being cut out from the side but that’s very impressive. How did they know he was on that side?
Police were probably called out by a neighbor due to the fact that there was a homeless squatter who broke into the structure.
PD had located the victim. You can briefly see his hand out of the vent hole on the side. (he was actually under the subfloor of the structure)
In our dept. the A side is generally the address side this side of the street that's address is
That was awesome.
Does your department have a water curtain
Lol I live on that street. I was also next door neighbor to the house where fire captain Pete fell thru the roof
So how do you know whether or not to search a house for victims? What if my neighbor didn't know we had a guest over while we were gone so they told you no one was in the fire? What's the process to determine a house doesn't need to be fully cleared?
It is hard to know for sure unless you readily have that information. It seems like PD called out the FD, and they probably got the call from a neighbor who had eyes on the place.
Fresno the last few years has had a problem with homeless breaking into vacant homes and businesses, and most of the time, those buildings go up in flames...sometimes multiple times.
This fire was in a vacant structure, so after the victim was pulled out, the FD let the building go, and protected the neighboring structures.
On every fire, there are actually 2 searches done even if the homeowner states that everyone is out of the house. The primary search is done as soon as possible after arriving on scene. A secondary search is done by another crew later in the in the incident depending on circumstances.
Hey i got a question, if i become a firefighter in the US, is there a chance i can only work as a paramedic? or is that a completly different job?
They are two different jobs in some places but in other places you are a firefighter and a paramedic, but in most places you are required to be a certified EMT at least to be a firefighter and some also make you be a certified Paramedic.
Depends on the department. I work fire for the DoD (military bases), some bases will run full time paid paramedics that are firefighters as well but their transport might be straight paramedics. Find out what the department in your area does.
So that's fire departments. You can find private ambulance companies as well, they only do emergency medical response and transport. Again, just find out what your area has. But most importantly if you want to be a paramedic start school and become proficient. You will be better off with your paramedic cert either way.
Most paid fire services now require all FF to be at least EMT. If you want to be a paramedic I would suggest sticking to the EMS side for at least one year as an EMT then get your Paramedic. Once you have that goto a Fire department that handles EMS as well. Fire-medics are one of the best paid paramedics in the industry. Only over seas contractors typically make more.
There are a ton of private ambulance companies. Most cities have at least one that they contract out some EMS tasks to. Private ambulance companies generally don't pay nearly as well and don't offer pension and other benefits firefighters receive.
Some fire departments have ambulance services and those that do will hire paramedics that do not have to do the firefighting part of the job but are still part of the same department. So yes.
I live in Fresno!
Good rescue!! But was there not a window right where they were cutting? It was hard to tell if so I wonder why they didn’t vent enter search instead of wasting Time cutting a hole .
It looked like there was one, but I also wondered the same thing
Looked like it was a basement. Homes in that area of the city predate WW2, and most have basements.
The was under the subfloor in the crawl space. You can see his hand sticking out from a side vent when PD pointed him out. He had crawlled under the from a hole in the back of the house (that is how he had gotten into the vacant home in the first place. When the fire started in the back, he jumped back into the hole and crawled towards the front cutting off his exit.
@@ffbriandowns ok makes more sense!!
I thought the title meant that the fireman was cutting down a person's home to kill them.
Watch some Stockton Fire please
🔥
What a grab, god damn
please react to "Brandweer Lunteren" its a Netherlands firefighter
yes, love their videos
The first officer on the video looks to me as FPD Chief Paco Balderrama
They made a air hole to that pore guy and then they told him to back off since they needed to cut it open. But an air hole for the guy and a door in some other place would have been nice.
The victim was actually under the sub floor. He had created a hole in the floor in the part of the house where the fire originated and crawled towards the front of the house. You can see his hand coming from the side vent when PD pointed him out. There was no other way to get him out due to the interior conditions.
I cant believe that guy was still breathing 🙏
My sister and her boyfriend just joined FFD
Thank you for explaining so many things I have seen in other fire videos but really didn't understand. Seems like a big risk to a fire fighting career is breathing smoke. I have seen videos of crews on a roof in thick smoke working hard but no masks. Is that because they are outside? Thought NY 9/11 would indicate breathing has to be filtered at all times. Thanks again.
In the majority of departments its generally frowned upon to not be on air in an IDLH/smoke filled environment on a fire ground. Older guys might not believe in this however. A few reasons; they’ve been on the job long enough, before modern gear, and possibly even before SCBA’s were common/used. So they figure they already have cancer so why bother? Some firefighters may just not care, while its stupid, it’s their opinion. Personally, I grew up at a truck house. Every time I asked they always told me there was no point on the roof, as the smoke wouldn’t really get into your lungs, however we’ve come to realize that it does in fact get into your lungs on the roof.
@@olivermills8736 Thank you for your reply. Truly amazes me to watch video of filmed structure fires from long ago showing firefighters in little more that helmets and raincoats. Wonder if they ever entered the structure to attack the fire and if so how did they survive with no radios and bottled air?
@@georgefranklin3222 Well to answer your question, yes, they did go inside, not for long tho. They survived due to the materials burning off not being so toxic or thick as they are nowadays, as well as growing mustaches and soaking them with water as early breathing devices. Fire service gear and equipment adapted to evolving construction materials and structures as well as new founded sciences and info about carcinogens in smoke.
Are firefighters not allowed to use tobacco products or is this something that varies from department to department?
The department I work for doesn’t have any issue with tobacco use, but the one that I did my training with has a no tobacco policy. Don’t quote me on this but I feel like it’s more of a factor when dealing with larger fire departments.
Can you brake down a fire the video is 25th st Roof Fire by Jesse osada. Please
The officer passed off command because they went all out for the rescue, not based on seniority.
I don’t know how I feel about these guys ripping the guys clothing off since they run the risk of ripping skin out with the clothing… there is also high risk of hypothermia and infection since the skin layer is damaged.
Why don't you talk about how Police always arrive first on Fire call, traffic collison call, and medical call before Fire.
Fresno is the best place
The video is very interesting and very informing and I believe accurate. But....the overlay of you is detracting. I'm not sure what looking at you has to do with the video or your narration.
First comment! Woogie boogie
Good for you Lol
My master can i ask you something ? Will be private question so maybe not on CZcams please
Wtf sounds like a Satanist kinda talk
I love your videos but you talk way to much but love it you should let the whole video play first than do this just saying
