ARFF 28 extinguishes a semi fire in Lake Township, Ohio

Airport fire engines can fight fires faster than regular city fire engines. If a car is burning in the city it can take a few minutes to hook up the hose to the pumps of the truck. so I was wondering why many cities do not have trucks remote controlled water cannons at the front.

I guess budget reasons are the cause. As firefighting equipment can be expensive.

So how do you clean up the highly toxic firefighting foam? Nice work boys!

Now that's a badass piece of equipment. Money well spent

Most such fire suppressing foams contain highly toxic and very long lived flourocarbons. Not good, especially close to water flows, wells or lakes.

I dtove by a car fire once. I was almost 20 feet away and the blast of heat was incredible. I can't imagine how much heat this thing was putting off.

Now that's effective and coordinated firefighting at it's best!

Dependable P-19

Downside to getting equipment made for runways is that runways are flat, outside of airports it isn't. We had a 4000 gallon tanker on our department that we got from an airport and we have lots of hills throughout town. Uphill with it fully loaded top speed was 10-12 mph.

Foam works better with a power cone or fog pattern boys. That’s was an expensive extinguishment. Foam is not cheep right now.

Worst front cannon opp ever. Get it to the fire buddy.

These guys said what!! A real fire???

"LETS GO GAGE"

Way too fast! Usually it takes many minutes before they get water on flames.

"Fascinating?" 🤔

This is how you handle a fire. Great job 👏

Regen got a little too hot.

is that a cannon on the truck?????

Wow nice team

Great video

American me bhi late pahuch ti hai kya firetruck 🚒

36 second mark....air brakes engaged.....38 second mark....wet stuff on red stuff....never before have I seen that efficiency on a fire ground....likely a well trained department and a kick-butt FMO behind the wheel!

What is that white stuff

Huh, US firefighters who actually start to fight fire as soon as they arrive: completely new for me.
Normally they start rolling hoses, look at each other, runs some more hoses and minutes later MAYBE some water starts to flow.
I am flabbergasted

what a fucking waste.. fire like this you can easly take down in like 20 seconds if you have fully trained firefighters..

Vgghh

Супер вопше 👍👍👍

Man, every department should have an ARFF truck lol. Ton of water with a remote deck gun for limited staffing, and a quick deploy booster reel for close up work. Pretty efficient!

I restored those trucks in Vegas 😊

Move your finger pal!

Just curious, not critical! How was an ARFF unit even close by? Did y'all see that pump and roll action though? Whoo hoo! lol

THAT, is how it is done!!!

That's a great response and rapid extinguishment. I've seen many Fire fighters seem to take a lunch break after they arrive on scene before they put water on the fire

Vvbnnnkk🎉😂

Love the micromanagement (sarcasm}..."pull up some". fuggin idiot.

Nice having a separate engine running the pumps. Don't have to stop and switch PTO from tires to water pump. These newer Engines are so much more adaptable than the old ones we Volunteer Departments get stuck with ;) kudos!!

Dope fire truck

Nice P19
The home owners will now sue for using AFFF even though their property would have been destroyed if not used

The engineer almost hit the firefighter on the hand line. Situational awareness man.

I think I speak for mostly truck drivers here but why the hell didn't he pull the pin?

Very nice and fast but won’t they run out of water real fast?

Even without the foam, an over-cab-mounted water cannon would result in a quick knock-down for most fires, (rather than wait for the firefighter to finish dressing, than drag out the hose etc)

That was effective pretty fast!

Love this.

Curious as a non-fire person...my understanding, from aviation, is that approaching a large tire from the side is very dangerous because they tend to explode sideways. Watching this video, i became nervous for a moment.

What year and make is the truck? I’m looking at one for my department, 1995 Oshkosh T-1000C. The owner can’t seem to get it to pump and roll. Were some not equipped to do that?

This is so stupid just use a water truck

As a firefighter/IC for over 30 years, bravo to this agency. This is a well trained, very nice operation. If you live there you are very fortunate indeed in these days of keeping and retaining staff.

FFS, get your hand out from in front of the camera, you freaking pine cone!

Excellent job, very fast and efficient. Roof Water cannons are great, as it takes time to get hoses out.
Well done guys.👏👍

Who is protecting the airport when this crew is gallivanting on a civilian call that a city engine crew SHOULD have handeled?

Who's protecting the airport?
