Good video of a job and if I remember correctly, it was a working fire.
You will see some sound and some not so sound actions being performed. It would be too easy to pick out the bad things but lets concentrate on the good things:
  • First due truck pulling past the building allowing better Aerial positioning for roof access.
  • Good horizontal venting with the stick
  • Fast water from first in Engine
The video camera doesn't lie and seeing what you did or did not do after the fact can be humbling. What it can do is show you what went right and what went wrong and allow you to become a better fireman. If available it can allow you to do a post incident analysis or whatever you want to call it, to improve what you will do at the next one.

As a side note, this is a good video but the music sucks and this was not a crack house. It was being renovated and the contractors were on scene. I sparked it myself.
