harrisboat08, why … harrisboat08, why is it that we who do this job seem to be the ones who resist working safely the most? In the video it clearly shows unprotected personnel resetting ground ladders, moving freely about the fire ground. I remind my company every shift that our number 1 goal is to go home UNHURT, tomorrow morning. Our safety is priority No. 1, crack house or not, is it worth getting hurt for? Not bashing you bro, just reminding you your worth alot to someone out there!
i was nervous … i was nervous throughout that whole video! i cant believe they werent using roof ladders. i gotta admit, houston fd has balls. im not sure if i agree with their tactics but they have my respect
Allsteer, Seriously … Allsteer, Seriously? The collapse zone? Dude, that house was not going anywhere anytime soon. That house was just starting to jen really good. Umm… and gutters, facades, chimney, brick?? Hello? It’s a old crack shack. It’s all wood. None of that plays into affect here. Could a tool fall? sure, but those guys where standing far enough back that they prob, wouldn’t get hit. Have you ever even vented a a house before or do you just burn them to the ground?
Indigojade1; Please … Indigojade1; Please read the above comment. Think about it, or perhaps you don’t mind a large lump on the top of your head, a lacerated eyeball or worse. Safety on the scene boils down to each person there looking out for his or her fellow firefighter.
You can call it a … You can call it a collapse zone, danger zone, whatever you want. But if your in that area without ANY personal protective equipment it’s tough to explain to an investigator as to why…and yeah, been to quite a few fires over the last 31 years. Not ever building that burns does a complete collapse, but I’m sure you’ve seen a facade, gutters, chimney bricks, etc. come down and usually when the guy underneath it least expects it too.
Allsteer, don’t … Allsteer, don’t comment of firefighting until you become a firefighter.The house wasn’t going to collapse any time soon. you’re and idiot. Great job Houston. That’s we do it in Kansas City.
Great capture-not a … Great capture-not a firefighter here (i tend to get people simmering if that counts) but I do love photogrpahy and I bet this would of offered some award winning shots…
allsteer is a … allsteer is a jackass…. Sorry to hear that you don’t know a thing about building construction or reading smoke. But district 19 in houston is pretty much all older construction. This house here would not collapse after even 30 minutes of a fully involved fire. Older construction beats the out of new construction, no truss construction, not as many corners cut. So 19’s good job this video shows PERFECTLY the difference that ventilation makes. Night and Day.
By far the best … By far the best firefighting video I have seen. That’s how you get done. Forget a roof ladder… collapse zone? On a one story frame house? You can’t be serious.
Keep in mind that … Keep in mind that if you work exclusively from a roof ladder it usually means you have a lack of experience in roof work, most teams that try to work from a ladder do so because they are unsure of their job.
I agrre with … I agrre with eric2726. You do have to consider safety but lets get real….we have a job to do and with big balls and big saws we can get it fast…. DO WORK!! Nice work 19.
