  • Out of all the departments I have watched on youtube, this one is the most enjoyable, never any dilly dallying on scene, get in there and get water on the fire. You have done a great job training your guys chief...well done
  • That 1st man on the hose was spot on .... Didn't wait to attack ... Big pat on the back 😀
  • Water on the fire within 2 minutes of arrival with quick knock-down, fantastic response 👏👏👏

    This was a quick response to a disaster in waiting. The house next door could’ve gone up in flames too but these firefighters did an awesome job on getting it out quickly. Nice work. I’m also glad no one was hurt and fur friends got out as well!
  • This was my dad's house. I would like to confirm for all those watching that everyone made it out okay, all the dogs made it out safely too. The cause of the fire never was determined, but the family has since moved on for the better afterwards. (And no, my profile name is not my real one)

    Thank you for posting these videos. They are well done and very useful for learning/teaching. I appreciate the respectful tone of most comments.

    @David Decker, just wanted to thank you for your videos as I’m getting ready for our captains test here in Chandler,AZ. Your videos are perfect for on scene report practice. I have learned a great deal of real life on scene time and am perfecting my “flow”. Thank you and I hope you keep posting for the new captains up and coming.

    Always love to see the firefighters who cover the exposures first. Especially for something like this that's been obviously burning for a bit, prevents someone else from needlessly losing their home, too. Great job, guys! Very sad to see such a nice house go up in flames, but it's great that no one was injured and everyone (including the pups!) got out all right! I love watching your videos, your people are so efficient and fast!

    Well done. Getting water on the fire within 2 minutes of arrival, critical to saving that structure. When I see other departments that can't seem to get that done, I have to wonder what they're thinking. Batt. Chief gets his assessment done quickly, gets his 1st engine right on it.

    One house is gutted and another one sustained smoke damage and siding melted off. I'm Thankful that no one was hurt, especially the Fire Fighters.
  • @davef5277
    The gentleman on the the first hose responding deserves praise. Quick knockdown and defensive on the adjoining structure. Nice job.
  • @quinszar
    another great job on the knock down 4 minutes 20 seconds from command on location to water on the fire nice job
  • @boataxe4605
    Saved the house next door, which seems to be the best one could hope for.
  • @peterwy874
    Sir, you're always so calm and collected. Respect for that! You're setting a perfect example for your colleagues. As a railroad worker I can appreciate that.
  • @harvey28f22
    Good training, education, discipline and leadership shows. This retiree really enjoys your videos. Keep them coming.

    The before picture was much more esthetically pleasing
  • @gravelpitlady
    WOW ..thank you for leaving the camera in the vehicle!  It gives us a better idea of what you guys do for a living.  Also HUGE High five for the firefighter and that one lone policeman who lent a hand!!!
  • @Blazefork
    I appreciate your attitude, no one intentionally does things wrong, and the constant criticism that comes with most of these videos gets old, if you've never made a mistake you've never done anything.
