Raw Video: Oakley House Fire

At 4:05 pm on June 23, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District responded to a report of smoke and flames coming from a home on Stratford Drive in the City of Oakley. While responding, crews observed a large column of smoke and upon arrival, observed smoke and flames from the home. Crews make quick access to the second story and knocked down the fire without incident.

Two youths were home at the time with their dog and safely made it out of the home prior to firefighter arrival. CONFIRE also was able to use T92 on a fire after it had a "push in" ceremony last Tuesday. No other information on the cause of the fire was available, the cause is under investigation.

Why is the Engine in front of the house instead of the Truck?

[karenbretana]

A good idea would be to get someone to get the dog out of the area.

[bradh]

Looked like a relatively easy/quick knockdown. By the way, excellent audio coverage of fireground and radio traffic.

Good job, 1 min in the smoke goes to white / steam water on the fire

What a NightMare😵‍💫
Any1 know what started the fire?

[paulwright]

Typical American fire fighters smash up the house before applying water.

[brianyoung]

why don't people move their dam vehicle when their house is on fire

[Veronicat-ofnz]

Was that in bedroom? It’s possible that a vibrator started the fire. But one point of criticism. Don’t make holes on the roof unless you absolutely need to. There is no reason to make any damage to the property in addition to what is necessary to put the fire out. Like you try to use minimum amount of water to extinguish the fire so no unnecessary water damage is caused.

Truckies are probably upset. Engine Company should leave front of the structure for the Truck, but different strokes for different folks (departments), no biggie, fire went out.

[portagepete]

You put the fire out from inside the house with the water pressure blasting through the drywall you don't get there all disorganized and super slow to spray water then go up on the roof no training and no common sense.

Get Smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm
