I have watched this fire department on several fires. Always a lot of yelling from the chief and chaos follows. I have no idea what there standards are in this fire department but it sets the fire service back 100 years every time i watch this department respond to a working fire.
Pennsylvania has no standards. Thats why you get videos like this coming out of there.
I could watch this chief all day. what an absolute mess of a scene.
Sorry for the loss but this Chief is a disaster- this department has so much potential- man power etc - that Chief is just an absolute embarrassment. You couldn’t pay me enough to work under him.
The chief is on another level. And now someone died from his incompetence. The fact he can staff a department under his leadership is beyond me. The fire service deserves better
What more did you want from this fire. Better yet were you there??? I watched the video if someone died I'm sorry for the family but they arrived got water on the fire and put it out.
@@jamesaddie4895 they’ve got enough man power and apparatus for a lot of teams. could have had an interior line and an exterior line in operation, dedicated multiple teams to search each division and another Team VES, and still have plenty of man power left to work RIT, and ventilation, that’s just the issue I see too many firemen in full PPE ready to rock just standing around. But Obviously hindsight is 20/20 and it was probably pretty crazy on scene, just a really tough situation to be in but still
Whats with the 2 ladders going nowhere, just into the siding!. Are they going to send in Beavers first to gnaw a hole in the siding so the firemen can get in. Or maybe they want to get a color sample of the siding just in case the owners want to stay with that shade of off white.And lets get another 2 ladders up there against the house just in case it collapses.
Every member of this fire department is a chucklehead especially the Chief!
My condolences to the family of the victim. May they Forever Rest In Peace. The clip is very respectfully done.
We hope also pray that the family of the victim get the help that they need especially with housing also with the grieving process of losing a loved one in the house fire
First off my condolences to the family that lost a love one. Second off this was like watching three stooges they look disorganized as hell with the guys in black shirts putting ladders out not even used especially the one laid over the fence that looked dangerous as hell. So many firefighters so much disorganization. Unbelievable watching them
Sorry for the fatality, but every fire I have seen this chief operate it has been nothing but screaming yelling orders running around uncontrolled and mismanaged on the fire ground. There has to be someone in the ranks of this fire department that needs to replace this fire chief??? Great video of the fire!
This department would be great training material on how to not run scenes and how when there is lousy IC nothing goes smooth. What a train wreck chief
Every video that chief is in, he’s always yells like a fool. 😂
What happened to a command structure? This appeared to almost be a mob. Plenty of manpower. The ladder placement is a mystery. Protect exposures?
7:04 that’s the pump screaming for dear life
And homeboy smoking a stoagie
RIP to the lost soul in there, and condolences to the family. It just seems to me that these men dont have a clue at what they should be doing. Maybe the chief could use some re/training.
Why are there 7 White Hats all gaggling at the entrance to the building? Why are they gaggling, with no active attack is on going? Why is a Junior Chief telling the Senior Chief that he is calling for RIT??
Oh it is Chief Eddie. The Fire Fighter that cannot successfully manage a patio fire.
Yea that was pretty bad , the assistant chief shouldn’t have to tell the chief he needs another fast team if he’s going to put the first team to work .
@@chosenone1004 "Chief" Eddie needs to learn to establish a command post after completing his 360 and risk assessment. He needs to learn to use his Junior Chief(s) in subordinate roles RIT Commander, Interior Attack Commander, Exposure Commander, Safety Chief etc.
I have yet to see "Chief" Eddie call for PAR in any of these videos. I have yet to see any roofs to be vented. I have yet to see them not just smashing windows before any water is even close to ready.
R.I.P. to the person lost Seems to me that the residents of that town are poorly served by their FD
This is an absolute mess! Firefighters standing around everywhere and the cops are throwing ladders to nowhere. Probably one of the most disorganized scenes I've ever seen.
Those are not cops. You don't know the difference between a cop and a firefighter? If not, you shouldn't comment. You look like a fool.
@@Madmac96 lmfao! So firefighters with no protective equipment on and raising ladders that go to nowhere? And I look like a fool?
Madman96, they are dressed the same way members of law enforcement agencies dress so, yes, actually it is difficult to differentiate them from law enforcement officers.
What exactly is their assignment that they dress the way they do? Fire Inspectors? Fire Marshal?
If they’re able to act as firefighters, why are they not in turnout gear performing fireground duties?
@@ritirons2726 How about they were in a class and responded from it? There could be any number of reasons they are in their class B uniforms. They weren't exactly entering the structure, so why do you care? And no, if you actually pay attention (and have a little common sense), you can easily notice they aren't cops. Seems like you're a little bent for no reason at all.😉
Now that’s funny!
I’m “bent”....why do I care?
Actually, I don’t.
I couldn’t care less who they are, where they’re coming from or where they’re going.
I’m simply agreeing that at first glance they do look like law enforcement.
Not all law enforcement officers where a full duty belt and vest.
Not to mention their inability to properly raise and position a ladder indicates a lack of knowledge in the use of the equipment.
Quite honestly if I were to be “bent” at anything it would be the manner in which you post your replies.
Your comments imply that we’re uneducated or lack common sense?
That’s the way you reply to some posting a comment that is not even directed at you?
Maybe YOU should inform us of who they are and why they’d be at a fire scene engaging in firefighting without turnout gear.
Judging by your reply you don’t know who these individuals are either.
I am literally in disbelief watching these videos. These “chiefs” should be demoted and sent for remediation before they get themselves or god forbid anyone else hurt. On the bright side I am now using these videos as training aids on what not to do at structure fires. Even our Rookies are shaking their heads in disbelief. It is actually painful watching this having come up through the fire service under toxic narcissistic leadership in my early years… but not nearly as bad as this. These men are a disgrace to the fire service and their department.
Awesome footage as always ! Thanks for posting!
Never an easy day when you lose someone. Stay strong.
GoPro video fantastic job and quality!!! Keep videos coming!
Its pretty evident that this department and surrounding departments have crews that are willing and able to take orders and get tasks done. Chief Saliba has the tenacity and knows for the most part what needs to be done. If he just stepped back and took command and took in the entire scene i truly believe he could be a great chief. Hes often seen directly involved with operational roles and is issuing orders when he does not have the full picture. Chief knows what needs to be done operationally, but the incident command and accountability is lacking and its an easy fix. These are all hard lessons learned fro LODD NIOSH reports and they're easy changes.
This. Chief have been like this for years and he will not charge .He has officers in his department that have told him a 1000 times what he needs to do to fix him and his department but he will not listen so they have given up trying.
@@donaldholman786 how long is his term
@@peterarvanitis6497 I Believe his appointed but I do not know all the details, but I can find out .
Firstly, by calling men you think are cops, goons, you're telling us you're just some turd with a criminal record. Secondly, they aren't cops, they are firefighters in class B uniform. If you can't tell the difference, maybe don't comment until you can.
Respectfully, I have to disagree with your assessment of this Chief. If he knows what needs to be done, why has he not done it? Positive change only happens from the top down with competent leadership. After watching so many videos of this Department in action it is clear that this Chief is the problem. He does not know or understand what his role is or should be, or he just does not care or want to know. I hope he figures it out soon before someone gets killed because of him.
Must be using the ladder to hold up the house. It goes nowhere.
They could have extinguished that fire quicker and safer if they had just walked up to the window and soaked the room in around 5-10 seconds. Usually within one minute after arrival using tank water. It would have taken around 20-30 gallons of water and extension would have been greatly reduced.
🤡💩🎪🤡💩🎪🤡💩🎪
Who placed that ladder like that on side???????
I know. This passed me off bad
@@jasonreardon241 I agree that was sketchy as hell and just plain stupid
They probably thought that they were fire men
My condolences to the family the department needs to study this and learn
Prayers for the family of the person who lost their life. I'm sure it's a horrible situation for any family and firefighter. I will say though, that I feel bad for this whole department because their leadership is really letting them down. And letting down the whole city of New Kensington. It may be time for a new Chief.
9:18 must be coffee time! wtf wtf wtf, why is everyone standing around ,when a person is dying in there!!!!
Thank you.
Who are All of these people ?? Guys in Black shirts and tan pants, Firefighters, the entire neighborhood, what the hell is going on at this fire scene ?
I would have liked to have seen more of the commotion going on in the background at the beginning...I could hear the people talking, but more images of the chaotic scene with the people from the neighborhood would have been interesting, instead of so much video of the ground & those concrete stairs. The shots of the side of the house were good, but too much of those darn stairs.😆
Great ladder placement by the khaki pants crew..what clown show this was..
Remember training is KEY! The main fire location was that first floor, living room/or dining room. And that victim was already deseased RIP. But the rest of the operations was a cluster F...! From the Chief and all way down to PD. Young Brothers need to step up and older brothers need to train or step down. It could have been worst with a firefighter may day or even worse missing! All we can do is learn freom this, maybe have members or Officers reach out for better training or even go to it. Its your life! PROFESSIONAL VOLUNTEER BROTHERHOOD!
Nice ladder work. You should have pulled it down and got it out of the way !!!!
To many Indians and off duty chiefs
Too many bosses. Who is in control???? Looks and sounds like everyone.
The guy stting up that Ladder truck needs to be retrained !! Clueless ! Taking him a week to set that thing up !! Get the stick set up already dude !!
As soon as someone said there was someone inside, them men ran into hell without looking back.
I'm not sure who does less, the neighbors or the firemen.
WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH THE LADDER THEY PUT OVER THE FENCE? HOLY CRAP THEY ARE HORRIBLE
Who are the guys in the Khakis ?
Fire, have ya ever seen what happens when you put a ladder over a window? I've seen, smaller Fire Departments do just that, and then the window blew out, and I've never seen someone on fire, come down so fast! Yes, it was dangerous as hell, and he was trying to cut a hole close to the peek, some of these smaller Departments dont have money, some guys buy their own turnout gear. That Fireman had his helmet and turnout coat on, the rest jeans. All because he put the ladder over the window. Nice knockdown, men!...
When the siren makes a whistling sound; what does that mean?
Is it a requirement that you have a giant beer gut to work for this FD? Looks like they probably have done compressions on more than one of their own. If you can't be part of the solution, and least don't be part of the problem. Must be in Pensyltucky
I’m confused.. as a seasoned investigator is this a dual role department where cops rotate or are cross trained as FF?? A lot of dudes with badges and holster firearms more then FF’s
They don't really to conform to anything normal. This is the department where the chief mans the attack like while the firefighters watch.
Kendall B apparently those are firefighters. I made almost the same comment about cops raising a ladder and was told that I need to learn the difference between cops and firefighters or just not comment because I look like a fool. In my opinion, I can't look any worse than this scene.
@@joshbertram7006 that's literally how most police officers dress when doing training at the range so I really thought they were LEOs also.
Plzzzzzz tell me this is a Volunteer fire dept!!!
Organised chaos
New Ken needs to replace all of thier line officers
Thats not how I was taught to put up a ladder in firefighter1. Been a ff for 20yrs and this scene is a mess
First off, great camera work!! A+
Now, onto the operations. These chiefs need to get demoted because they're horrendous. The rather scream and run around like scalded chickens.
The firefighters are terribly untrained. Poor hose deployment and slow getting water on the fire. The truck crew didnt even try to throw a single ladder.
Also, why no roof ops??
The only 1 good thing out of all of this chaos...the truck placement was spot on.
Sad for the families loss. Sad for the community being served by this FD. Absolutely no kind of Incident Command structure.
Too many White Hats, I assume they are all Chief Officers. If not, then this adds to the confusion.
If they are, then far too many of them barking random orders. The Khaki Pants ladder brigade need some training. ANY training would help. If they are Cops, they need to stand down. They are a liability on a fireground. Tons of manpower and great looking rigs. Just learn to use them properly. Lots of work to do here. Training, Organization, Incident Command, Tactics, Safety……
Who was the guy running around yelling his head off
The chief of department
My condolences to those that lost a loved one in this fire.
I have lived through a house fire and know how many people come to answer the call and I always give people the benefit of the doubt (lets face it there is always going to be something that someone else knows more of than ones self). However that scene from a laymen's point of view felt disorganized , unsecured (because of a few safety issues), and lacked any since of leadership. There were personal of some sort with no PPE on less than 10feet from the flames and busting glass not to mention them going onto the neighbors property with a ladder that was not needed at that moment (unnecessary liability to both the other home owner and the city that employed the people on scene).
Disclaimer: I am sure all of the folks there are good people who did their absolute best and stayed within their department guidelines; I am only saying how it felt to me and some of the things I had seen that felt off in my own opinion.
You are not wrong in your assessment. From a 35 year veteran professional firefighter / Battalion Chief/ and Training Officer point of view this was difficult to watch. Sad for that Community.
Who's yelling and having a meltdown on the radio? I hope that's not the IC. Where is and who is the IC?
YEP
The crazy man running around and yelling at everyone is the chief/incident commander! He is a chucklehead
Yep it is the Chief/IC
IC needs to be calm
cool and collective run command with his deputy chief and officers
Oh, that is Chief Eddie he is just an absolute trainwreck. He barks orders, in every direction. He interacts chaotically everywhere. He does not step back and establish a Command Post. He is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Too many chiefs, not enough indians.
WHAT A CLUSTER F
What is with the ladder placement...
That street is entirely lined with firetraps.
I thought maybe a firefighter died with that PASS alarm sounding the entire time…..either find it and turn the damn thing off or find and rescue the firefighter it’s attached to!!! Complacency kills!!!!! 🤯🤬
I don't know who the dude is in the blue jean shorts blue pull-over golf shirt with the radio, but the safety officer needs to have him exit and not return until full PPE (minimum). Has no business all up in the middle of the operation trying to communicate and coordinate tactical operations. Okay, I will shut-up before I really get going...
There are more firemen on the scene here then 911.
WTF IS GOING ON?!?!
That was an excellent interior attack! Well done. Incident Command? It needs a lot of work. Who is the I.C.? Too many white hats barking orders and geared up to do work. I thought the white hats lead & guided, and did not take part in actual firefghting.
You must be new here. You'll have to go find the video where he burns himself on the porch because he's the one man fire department.
@@bamrak2000 Yes, I am new here. Where would I find the video you describe? Do you have a link?
Very sad about the loss of a life!
Captain Scream has command. but seriously... Chain of command is absent here.
Who died? Looks like a very good Fie Department. Chief may be a bit over reactive, but with good men and women on the job the work gets done.
Water ?????
They can't get out of their own way.
I’m sorry for the loss of life. May they RIP…
*with all the commotion I can’t figure out which one is the Chief 🤷🏼♀️
I was waiting for The Older Heavy Set Man in the blue denim shorts to be knocked down the stairs because his big a$$ was directly in the path to the doorway & I don't care if He is a Captain or a Chief, He should know better. & I think it's insane and a dangerous risk to other firemen have others around them in a emergency situation who are completely out of shape & way over weight
That fire just looked fatal.
This Chief lol
Fill me in. What happened?
The ladder raising was a joke
Did not find family of victim body in house fire
Why are these random guys in polos throwing ladders while “firemen” are standing around
2minutes and twelve seconds from parking brake till water on fire. And committed to old school tactic "fight from the unburned side" you really should have had water on the brave side in about 45 seconds.. shit doubled maybe tripled while you organized a push.
Did I see the firefighter standing on the porch puffing on a vape??? I hope not?
This truly looks like a cluster fuck... I don't see any leadership 😕but alot of people in the way and giving orders but noone looking like they know what they doing 🤔
I have seen yelling and barking orders keeping things confused
it seems veryy chaotic and not very organized
Another great job Steve! I pray for the family and their loss. I pray for the crew that had to deal with the thoughts they have after as well. Been there done that, its tuff. Nothing changes, I see some bad blood below in the comments, that goes on everywhere. Looks to me like you guys are squared away and do a good job. God has a plan for everyone, we can only do what we can do. God Bless...
Thank you for a professional and objective comment!
Not leadership lead to this kind of operation..sadly.
Please watch your language.
I'm just here to read all the comments from the CZcams firefighters, telling us what the actual firefighters are doing wrong. LOL.
I was in the fire service for 15 years. Paid and volly. Was a line officer and an instructor. Where would you like me to start???
@@joshbertram7006 Do us all a favor. Don't. LOL.
@@Madmac96You do realize that many departments/firefighters specifically watch these videos to learn from others’ mistakes, right? You do want firefighters to improve, I assume, not just accept everything as “good enough” however it goes down, I would think.
My condolences to the family of the deceased victim.
What kind of helmet do you wear to take these videos? If you're wearing a fire helmet, people would, and should, expect you to help out somewhere? Just standing there in a helmet to take videos is unacceptable.
I'm a photographer. I have no training in the fire service, but my 'job' for the department is taking pictures, and I also take video when I can. I have 2 DSLR cameras hanging around my neck, so there's not too much I can do without the risk of them being damaged, but there have been several occasions where I would help drag a line, fetch a tool, and in one case, grabbed a rescued dog from a fireman as he came out of a house.
@@StevenMatto keep up the good work brother
@@peterarvanitis6497 Thank you, sir!
all you monday night quaterbacks that ground ladder against the siding was to a window probally as a second escape for ff in case things go bad
The entire firefighting community should be ashamed of the negative comments. ..stick a rag in it...these videos are almost the only place the comments are so vitriolic. ...makes me sick, if you can't constructively criticise shut up. It doesn't help anyone to spew your "knowledge"....it's embarrassing.
Have you seen new Kensington’s other videos? They should be ashamed of the lack of training and professionalism and the citizens should be afraid!
Your going to see comments like these and some will be from firefighters or family members of them or victims. But if you notice there was ZERO command and control, you how many white helmets walking around the scene? And not 1 took control and got the situation under control, and you had one who had no TURN OUT GEAR ON. I'm a volunteer and at times get upset when arm chair firefighters think they know everything, but this department really needs to step up their game and do a better job. Even you Neal have to agree that there was some serious flaws in the way they worked this scene and the video showed it all.
Two words, The Chief.
Their training should not come from "constructive criticism" on CZcams.
I agree their are things to be desired on this scene as well as most any, none of them are ever perfect, but how we approach our brothers effects the publics view of our own professionalism as well as their perception of the entire US fire service.
First off my condolences to the family that lost a love one. Second off this was like watching three stooges they look disorganized as hell with the guys in black shirts putting ladders out not even used especially the one laid over the fence that looked dangerous as hell. So many firefighters so much disorganization. Unbelievable watching them
I especially like the one they threw to the TOP of that A side window.
