First Due, Uncut, Quick Knockdown of a Stockton Fire

On March 8th, 2016, Stockton Firefighters responded to reports of a structure fire in the area of Roosevelt and Pilgrim. Fire crews arrived on scene to find fire in a boarded-up residence, in a structure that had recently previously burned.

Stockton Firefighters worked quickly to extinguish the flames and search the structure. There were no victims found, and no injuries occurred on this fire.

There is an old saying in the fire service: 'The Garbageman does not drive down the street, surprised to see the garbage cans out.' Stockton Firefighters are committed to training and preparation in order to be ready, act calmly, move efficiently, and 'Expect Fire.' This video approximately represents a normal operation on a fireground in Stockton: arrive on scene, get off the rig, pull the hoseline, put your mask on, and put out the fire. Stockton Firefighters are proud to serve and protect the citizens and City of Stockton CA.

Can we take a moment and recognize that half second pause before pulling the line and opening the gate? Absolute brilliance of line advancement discipline.

I am a new career firefighter in a big city department (1+ years) and this is what I would aspire to be like! That firefighter trains hard. Recognizing the gate, how fast he got on air! Seconds!Good work

[jacobboxberger]

for being as under funded and over worked as you guys are you are VERY well trained and work very well together! keep up the good work!

[thephantomeagle]

that dispatcher is on her game. She doesn't waste time, words, or anything. She's smooth as they come. Reads off the stations, equipment, location, situation, all without hesitation. Got to hand it to her. She knows that city well.

I know it looked benign and not worth it, but I think that's how it always looks before FF get killed. I'm convinced of the value of a quick 360. Either way an awesome job guys!

I enjoyed the captions.helps to understand whats going on.

[sockettuem]

Another stellar example of an accomplished, proficient and skillful Fire Department at work. This is a group of sure handed, polished, highly capable and thoroughly competent firefighters.

[josephkupecz]

Awesome Department Men! Enjoy watching videos which I am learning also Especially being a company Officer

[moemcgovern]

Your level of training should be shared with All firefighters. Including volunteers.

3:54 sounds like a toilet flush until the metal sound at the end.

Now how hard was that to put water on fire within a minute of arriving. Rare american fire dept. Good job!

[Derekva]

Any Stockton Fire fighters here? If so.. What kind of hose load was that for the crosslays. Seems like the perfect amount for a house so close to the street

[ZombieSlayerz]

Quick and aggressive attack! That's a good team you've got!

[paulhammerich]

Engine 9 in the heart of the city does it again you guys rock getting the blue stuff on the red stuff

[tjj]

Just out of interest, what do you guys mean by "2 in, 2 out"? Is that 2 CABA wearers in the building and then two outside as a rescue team?

Got yourself a new subscriber regardless! British Firefighter here, love your work!

[EDHX]

[austinchapman]
