8 thoughts on “Do you study LODDs that happened on the FIRE Ground?”
Not wanting to single any one fallen firefighter out, i know this pictures are from the homewood, IL fire that sadly took the life of FF Brian Carey and severly burned FF Kopas(sadly enough this fire hit really close to home…about 30minutes away from home). R.I.P FF Brian Carey. We have a copy of the NIOSH reports at the station available for anyone to read. As this report states there were numerous flaws that led to the tragic outcome. If anyone would like some more information on this fire here is a link.
Let’s see what NIOSH identified as factors which contributed to the death of one firefighter and the injury of another:
Well involved fire with entrapped civilian upon arrival
Incomplete 360 degree situational size-up
Inadequate risk-versus-gain analysis
Ineffective fire control tactics
Failure to recognize, understand, and react to deteriorating conditions
Uncoordinated ventilation and its effect on fire behavior
Removal of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) facepiece
Inadequate command, control, and accountability
Insufficient staffing.

Forgot to add these as well. There is a lot of radio traffic going on because its multiple scanners on. These are the audio feeds from the night of the fire with intial dispatch as a chair on fire in the residence with oxygen tanks and disabled resident in chair. There are 3 parts and sorry there is a 30 second advertisement before each video.
