garbage truck fire

[Wa3ypx]

2- John Bean HPF guns could put that out and still have water in the tank

[Firewhiz911]

Another pile of shit Volvo bites it. YES!!!!!! I got a ten-spot that says they repaired it.

[R5H4D0W]

For those firefighters out there, I noticed that some vehicle fire videos foam would be used in combination with water, I assumed this was to contain a fluid accelerant such as gas or diesel, but in this case only water is used even though the video showed what appears to be an uncontrolled vapor venting near the gas take. What is the criteria for needing foam?

[joek0617]

some places don't have it ready for use, but it's an agent that's mixed with the water, some department, like fridely near me, use it all the time. fridely is trial running a biodegradable foam agent

[R5H4D0W]

@joek0617 thanks :)

[iliya1997]

what the hell is it at 0:29 ?

[TheGjtheman]

hhahahha green peace will be out now lol

[mckittcu]

<3 how @ 1:25, when one would assume that the line seen going behind the truck was opened, the fire gets bigger. Way to use the proper stream and not spread burning oil all over christendom.

[mrbrianhopper]

that is so sad

[WheelieMacBin]

It is simply the onward march of modern technology, dustcarts with their own refuse incineration facilities. Back to the drawing board there Sherlock lol

[MrViolentHippie]

I THINK WE SHOULD BURN EVERYTHING

[RememberApostrophes]

Probably can not recycle much there.

[BoTMSapper]

gee heard an old voice over pager like i use to have in the cfa

[Kingofkings920]

[everyonewantsmedead]

I like how the guy in the way back just keeps going on about his business shoveling that snow like nothing is happening.

[racerx8228]

I guess the truck is trash now. sad

[crazygravytrain]

[2firefighter9]

[Firewhiz911]

[whammy9531]

Stinky Bin Lorry On Fire

[83402911]

stinky i bet

[frntloader]

wow , we have a policy if we have a fire we are to eject the load it's easier for the fire dep. to extinguish and cheaper to pay for the cleanup than replacing a 450,000 truck !!! at least that what my employer says

[coughtontape]

ya here too but the hydrolic line broke over the exauhst. no stopping it

[CaptainObviousIsHere]

Same thing happened to a truck here! Damn thing almost burnt down the whole shop, lol.

[KISSman4307]

hey coughontape what are the firefighters putting on the blaze? is it water?

[coughtontape]

water

[KISSman4307]

where was this incident?

[joek0617]

@coughtontape they should have a fire suppression sys in it... like a couple tanks of CO2, with hoses to the top, right behind the ram

[FASANORACING]

Gas

[kx250fMIKE]

@KISSman4307 no vodka 

[R5H4D0W]

@frntloader how do you eject a load exactly? all the hydraulics seems to point towards compressing the load. I figured a large hydraulic piston would tilt the whole bed once the waste is delivered to a sorting facility. Be interesting to know, thanks.

[joek0617]

@R5H4D0W they compress towrds the back, so u open the back end up, and the ram pushes it out

[sonicxlc123]

hahaha thats one HOT!!!! GARBAGE TRUCK! HOT METAL CAN all that trash beeing burn thats alot of smoke polluting the air!!!!  that's not good

[bryan1282]

nice fire truck

[firewacker432]

what in the world coming out of the bottom of the truck at 0:30??

[XxrotorayxX]

most likely the hydraulic fluid

[scholar365]

Well, that's a little less trash in the landfill.

[scatmansfan]

im sure that smelt great while it burned

[modernmidnight]

few days ago we got called out at 5am for a garbage truck on fire. We were pulling out of the station and we see the truck drive by. They put the fire out themselves. We were all disappointed(small call rate. We dont get much action)

[7089540230]

very nice video!

[northernmonkeybutt08]

that firefighter at 1:05 wasn't wearing any pants ( you know what i mean), and his jacket was not done up

[turbosuperiority]

No big deal.. just a little smoke dammage! haha

[NICECOLDBEER]

tahts why you never throw flashlight batterries in the trash

[snootysimsfan2]

what city and county is this in?

[amrepmike33]

thats sad seein a truck burned down for doin its job

RIP #958

on what looks like a heil ar amrep body

does anyone know

kinda hard to tell when its covered in flames

[rainbowdisposalman]

it a heil you can tell by the tail gate amreps have a tail gate that ether has the metal bar like things or some of the tailgate is cut flat on the sides for instance the eliptical.

[t4705mb6]

Why am I seeing so many garbage trucks on fire on YouTube?? Was it something in the trash or a defect in the truck? I'll bet it cost a couple of bucks to replace!

[jaredlarson80]

hot ashes from burning rings,or charcol grills,people dont think and thats why this happens,very rare is it a mechanical problem that starts a fire

[t4705mb6]

Yup! Got it! THAT wouldn't occur to me but, now that you mention it, I know PLENTY of people where I live who would be just that dumb. Thanks!

[iculafin]

i had a chemical mix in the back of my truck that ignited

[t4705mb6]

That must have been a hairy experience!

[coughtontape]

utah

[KISSman4307]

@coughtontape where in utah?

[humvee600]

damn that truck went up in flames real fast, poor truck

[daewooparts]

:) the good news is that load of trash is now incinerated the bad news is that truck is now going to the steel recycling yard! :(

[miredian]

Darn, that thing went up quick. Sorry to see a truck like that burn up - I like the design of those FL units - no ribs on the side. That's gotta be a total loss..

[Tigerhose3]

were u guys scared or something, attack the fire

[coughtontape]

its a volenter fire dept. they like to look at flames i guess

[trashratt]

that'as a BFI truck
