Keymont (WV) Trailer Fire

On 7/28/10 at approximately 1930 hours, the southside units and a few additionals were dispatched for a house fire in the Keymont area of Mineral County, WV. Engine Tanker 22 responded with 6 volunteers and D/C Kight. Engine 24 arrived on the scene with a working trailer fire. D/C 24 Hamilton established the Keymont Command. The crew from Engine 24 pulled an 1 3/4" attack line and advanced it through the front door on side alpha of the trailer. Engine 33's crew pulled a back up line while the crew from 22 opened up the trailer. Engine Tanker 22 supplied Engine 24 with a 5" supply line. The fire attack crew pushed back towards the rear of the trailer, where heavy fire was pushing out the rear door on side charlie. After a quick knock on the fire, crews began overhaul operations with crews taking frequent breaks due to the high temperatures. Units were on the scene for approximately 1 1/2 hours. Units on the scene were Engine 24-11, 24-13, Brush 24, Engine Tanker 22, Engine 33, Tanker 33, Squad 23, Engine 361, Engine Tanker 19, Tanker 38, and EMS 50.

Comment by Kathy Williams on July 31, 2010 at 4:51pm: Here, here for seat belts. I agree. I wonder also if the female FF will go near or into the fire with her hair sticking out beneath her helmet like that? (It's always easy to make points after viewing the video, so I'm just saying my intent is not to "nit-pick".)

Comment by Jack Lowe Jr. on July 31, 2010 at 2:52pm: Standing up in the cab of a moving apparatus, why?? No seatbelts, why??? Didn't you just see 2 FF's killed in the Virginia apparatus rollover? When will we learn??

Comment by Kathy Williams on July 30, 2010 at 11:04pm: Great video! Good colour and not too shaky, which sometimes happens with helmet cams, although I know nothing can be done about it, the firefighter's head is moving after all. Seems like some pretty narrow paved roads on the way to the fire. First time I've seen a green fire truck. Seems like quite a bit of black mold in the pink fibreglass insulation, which was exposed as the firefighters ripped the walls open. Glad all firefighters were safe.
