Firefighters arrive at a house fire at 502 West Market Street in Pottsville, Pa. just after noon on 12/21/2021. All seven City companies responded as well as Schuylkill Haven RIT and an Engine from Minersville Fire-Rescue.
A lot of those buildings in Pottsville are over a hundred years old and great job getting the stop brothers and sisters doing this hometown boy proud from ny!
We can never thank them enough for their bravery!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great filming. You highlighted a little bit of everything. Well done.
Much respect to these brave folks!
Good stop,and every one goes home been a volunteer for 44 years and still enjoy it! I'm the chauffeur now.
Everyone goes home but the homeowner!
Good footage! 👍
Nicely filmed! Subscribed.
Great documenting this incident. Awesome job by this FD making aggressive attack and quick knockdown!
Nice video! Regards from Montreal, Canada
Nice job, crew...
Like the wind again.....Thanks
damn good footage
Thanks!
at the 1:55 mark, that lady who yelled to the driver of that one truck, is she a fire fighter? (not in gear)
# Salty, nice work 👌!
Nice stop.
Where are the portable ladders?
I am with Yorkville and this was a nasty fire.
Just a question not taking a shot. Why did the Quint go in service with a line, with an engine arriving? Again a question. I don’t know the layout or SOG.
Why not?
@@spatch713 most places have run assignments. So I was wondering if that’s their policy. We run 5 engines and 2 trucks on all box alarms in our area. So we designate assignments to pieces.
Can't say for sure but quint is often used for its pump at fires in the City. All volunteers so it may be based on staffing levels for each particular incident.
@@FireandFilmdotcom thank you
Quints are bad news; 👎🏻👎🏻 to the apparatus committee!!
Why is it only a five minute film?
Why be on your scba outside the IDLH almost 50 feet away? First guy goes into the building without a SCBA on his back.
I hope nobody was hurt or died property can be replaced life cannot great job guys
lots of armchair chiefs, everybody goes home at the end of the day, not all bad.
Everyone goes home but the homeowner!
@@jamesmchugh573 thank you for pointing that out. They always seem to leave that vital point out when they’re patting themselves on the back.
0:10 Dewald has no interest in fighting fires, but approaches an obvious IDLH with no scba, Im guessing it’s so he can waste a few moments going back to his rig to put one on after firemen have already started knocking fire down. He would spend the rest of his career regretting this move if he were in the FDNY
A lot of guys not wearing scba r these guys volleys
gotta do the best you can w what you have i guess..
Every time I watch a house fire no one ever moves Their car from the driveway or the garage when they have enough time to do so it’s ridiculous
They are thinking of other things. You're ridiculous.
Maybe the fire is where their keys are located. Or they are not home and carpooled with someone. Or maybe they were too busy getting themselves, their loved ones, their neighbors out of harms way.
Older building lookesd like balloon framing. Good stop.
It’s ordinary construction (type 3) so the wooden stuff inside sits in pockets in the brick work, most likely with fire cuts on the floor joists .
thank God all those civilians were there to direct traffic and guide the fire trucks
Especially the ponytail girly!
First... lol. Great work PFD. Be safe Dizzy.
Hi Dizzy, happy holidays y'all Joanna xxx
@@joannawinterbourne6439 Happy Holidays To You and Yours also, Be safe Dizzy.
That's the dizzy that blocked me for being Honest and exposing the bad tactics used by the Worchester department that got their firefighters killed.
The main problem with a quint. The aerial ladder stays in the bed. Training should be using it as a truck, not an engine.
It can be used as both
and 10 years later, why are the so slooow
empty building fires can spread to occupied buildings
Why not just post the raw footage so we can see how the firefighters work the fire instead of making it a highlights video with all of the cut-aways and fades.
This is as raw as the footage gets. I am primarily a photographer and grab video clips as extras.
Oh, I thought you were the one who videotaped this fire and then cut it up into various clips. I did not know that these were clips that you just obtained from another source.
We don’t want to encourage unsolicited critical commentary from BarcaLounger Chiefs on You Tube. Get your own channel and quit complaining.
@@moviemagg didn't say that
@@RLTtizME If you can't deal with any critical commentary then shut off the comment section on your video or just reframe from reading the comment section all together. And by the way I do have my own channel, so go take a powder and chill out.
Couldn't move any slower!
I agree! I have no idea why so many were getting off the rig with no pack too
Like you reaching for the dinner check.
0:10 yo BRAKE that siren.,....you're there......wtf... 2:00 girly white fire truck 2:15 wtf...take the MASK off till you're ready to enter...
You cluck like a chicken.....
Very sad especially at this time of the year. I hope mo one was hurt
Why wasn’t aerial properly placed in front of the building? Why was fire few guys without SCBA..? Was this a training fire? Why wasn’t first line stretched off the engine ? Just a few questions…very unusual but may be your SOP’s
1. The aerial is fine where it is. Perhaps it was in that position to get access to both sides of the building 2. Any member who was in the IDLH had their SCBA on. 3. This was not a training fire 4. Why wasn’t the line off the engine? I’m sure if you contact this department they could answer any question you have.
@@BIGDROC99 ….with the wires there you weren’t do anything more then getting to roof in that position so ifo wouldn’t been better placement Why wasn’t every interior FF ready to be in an IDLH..? So he can go force the door but can’t go rescue anyone..? Interesting And the line should’ve been taken off engine and let the truck do truck work. Plus it cuts the power in half to the aerial when you also have rig in pump so good nobody came to a window that needed rescuing.
@@heavy7799 Who are you to say what rig the line comes off of? Maybe that’s their SOP. You even inquired about what their SOPs were. You really want every guy on air waiting to go in? Outside? Wasting air.
@@BIGDROC99 …You are way off guy. The one guy goes up to the door, no pack on. Another comes off engine, no pack on. How are they ready to go to work? Stop being so defensive and open your eyes dude.
@@heavy7799 Defensive? Stop acting like you’re Gods gift to firefighting. I’ll see you three rooms deep
Open up that roof and get the heat out. The fire will never be stopped until the heat is expelled!
Had enough, I see 50 things wrong in this video.
Start naming them
....... 50 things.... maybe there are more. But they blind you.......... did you see the only 1 good thing ? Fire is out. They did a good job. 🎩
@Tax Payer sorry Sir, what is your problem ? Firefighting does nothing have to do with 10/80/10. Its 24/7/52/365 without office hours. And every day and every fire-scene is different. And...... nobody is perfect.......So what ? You will understand once you have needed the fire brigade and they have helped you. Merry Christmas.
Ok super hero
@@w-peter Tax Payer probably thinks that a building must be looking like a brand new one after a fire.
Connecting your supply line to the front intake is not a good idea when you have a direct intake on both sides right into the pump. Friction loss is not your friend.
This is done all the time.....Friction loss lol.
ffjsb, you are correct. The front intake is good for about 750gpm on a good hydrant. My guess for them doing this is the front is pre-connected. For a BS fire like this it's no big deal.
@@jefforr439 Therefore it was a great idea!!!! to use the pre-connect!!!!
@@jedidiah5131 Spoken like someone who doesn't know shit about Fire Hydraulics or Firefighting...
@@jefforr439 It should be good for more than 750 gpm, but the problem is people tend to get into a habit of things, and it's always better to opt for more capacity than to have to go back and disconnect and reconnect a supply line. Our front preconnect is strictly for drafting out of a dump tank in front of the truck, as we may have to back into a drive and set up a tank so that we don't block the road for tankers. My full time large city FD doesn't have them at all. I would in NO WAY call this a "BS" fire, it has the potential to go to a multiple alarm in building construction like this.
Great footage a little bit of nothing

Well, the fire's out, but the building is all but destroyed.
Balloon framing for sure. Didn't get into exposures. Always room for constructive criticism.
@@notthatdonald1385 Totally WRONG. Not balloon framing. Outer walls and bearing wall shared with the D exposure is masonry, brick to be exact. There may be a wood frame area to the rear but in eastern Pa, masonry construction is very common in the cities. Some of the smaller coal region towns have wood framed row homes but this is NOT that.

If that was the fdny it would have burned for a couple of hours along with the building next door and they would have had 250 firefighters there. Goog job putting water on the fire instead of just standing there watching it come out all the windows like Gotham.
Well go show FDNY how it's done then.
Yeah ok bro
Calm down keyboard Karen
@@michaelsheffler5710 prove me wrong, not knowing your background or anything about you I would not stoop to name calling. But go ahead with factual vidence and not feeling prove me wrong and I'll be happy to admit it.
@@turninmonyin2noise978 first of all to question something that's been around since 1648 is completely ludicrous they are the most well-trained bravest fire department in the world plain and simple I highly doubt they would even let you roll their hose
I give up. The "Quint concept" is the downfall of the American fire service. Delayed ground ladders, searches, ventilation, because the "truck" is doing engine stuff. There was an engine arriving almost simultaneously. It makes no sense to me.
Everyone has an opinion. Blah blah blah....
A lot of scustamds at this fire
