I filmed Austin’s Fire Department tear apart a house in Barton Hills.
I work as a videographer for a local construction company and last week I got to film the AFD do training in a old house before it gets torn down. They did a few different training exercises that were pretty awesome to see. They first smoked out the house and ran through a scenario where they needed to find an individual that was in a room on fire. It’s crazy how quickly they move with all of their gear on.
The next training they climbed up on the roof and used chainsaws to cut holes in the roof to create vertical ventilation. They also shared different tips to keep your house safe during a fire.
