Everyone no matter the rank should listen and think about this call. The IC was in control and remained calm even when the radio traffic went gridlock. I have always said there are too many radios on the fire ground. Too many people don't realize that we don't need every bit of info all the time.
Listen to the Capt.'s breath sounds coming across the radio. As I listened, I started thinking, am I listening to a firefighter taking his last breaths before he dies? Can you not feel the difference in his voice and breaths?
Watching the video reminds me that we have all of this great equipment, but we never train on how to use it in the "big fire". On your next shift, go in the truck bay and get in your mind, what can I use on the same type of scene.
The tip of a ladder is worth far less than the life of one of our firefighters!
