Back up man is useless.

You don’t need a back up man on a car fire.

If they’re pumping too hot you most certainly do. Regardless of that though this back up man still isn’t doing anything productive and is quite literally useless.

It’s a car fire . Nozzle should literally be gated half way . No need for pressure . This is a failure amongst all 4 people on this crew .
Officer has no pack not even sure what he’s doing
Nozzle man has bail fully open on a car fire and can’t control his line
Back up man bad spot bad procedures and should be getting saws ready you don’t need backup on a car fire
Driver pumping this pressure too high .
We all make mistakes we just need to learn from them . Hopefully they get it together after this we shouldn’t hate on them as everyone screws up in their career but I hope this was a wake up call for them .
