Comment by Mario Bourgeois on January 20, 2011 at 5:06pm: oopps meant to say... Well SAID Byron!

Comment by Mario Bourgeois on January 20, 2011 at 10:32am: Well Byron.

I looked at the video a second time and beside no charge line or SCBA, the first FF has NO HELMET!!! Bunker on NO HELMET!! COME ON! I just cant believe this scene...

Comment by CWhitby on January 15, 2011 at 9:00am: Ok 1st I would like to quote the late Andrew Fredericks... "If you put the fire out you won't have to jump out the window". With that in mind why was the handle line stretched LAST?! This is a subject stuck in a vehicle that is burning common sense would tell you to put the fire out. And what is up with the booster line?! Tunnel vision seems to be the main issue here. Don’t forget your training... like wearing an SCBA, Stretching the appropriate handle line, and don't let others give you tunnel vision!! All that said GREAT SAVE and it doesn’t look like anyone got hurt so let’s learn from this and do better next time!!

Comment by Richard Armstrong on January 14, 2011 at 1:56pm: Great Save but where's the

Comment by Bobby Coble on January 14, 2011 at 1:22pm: If they had the back door open already, why did the officer feel the need to break out the back window? And I agree with the comments about the SCBA's. With all of the chemical sucides taking place inside vehicles these days, SCBA's should be required until it's determined they are not needed.
