Fight Wildfires the Easy Way

[discipleofdelta]

This controlled space you got going on here is the most stupid area to light a fire for film. you're all around trees and bushes in this area, one gust of wind and it's gonna take a lot more than a Firefighter's version of a golf cart to put it out. That thing is useless. Get some brush trucks and man up. Plus, that traditional way is pretty stupid as well.

[stevekon11]

anyone who has faught fires in the forest knows you cant use those things...in 99 percent of conditions,if it were something you could drive to they would just use engines.

[Kawasakiforlife7]

i could piss on that and put it out...

[granvilledrummer]

safe, more efficient way. And when you have a fire deep in the woods and your personell is not trained on the "traditional way' you are screwed!!!

[Keepingitreal0]

Are they jacking off to put the fire out the traditional way?

[SABlingBling]

@Keepingitreal0 Ya, but you only get the white stuff to "cum" out on the safer way

[dylaninLG]

you can think what you want but that is frikkin awsome! also, it has a practical aplication for private landowners burning piles or doing controled burns that want a little backup if somthing goes wrong...

I think fireman 1 sounds like one of those fireman that has everything and can't get his nose out of the air. It is up to each department sop's and sog's as to what their department wears.

[jolchief]

to fireman 1,, if you think jeans and such is all you need to fight wildland fires, come to Texas and we will put you on a truck and see how long your jeans last.

what a waste of foam water is all u need for wild land fires

[FFabber]

@butthead361

It would be a waste of water NOT to use the foam. Those little trucks have an extremly small water capacity, the foam extends the effectivness of the onboard water supply so it can do more damage to the fire before running out of water. Foam is extensively used in all wildland fire operations. From helicopter bucket drops to fixed wing water bomber aircraft.

[cjsec21]

Clearly, guys, this is just a demo taken by the company to show what their product does. It's not a real brush/grass fire - it was a staged practice to demonstrate.

[decoysk]

I THINK THE FIRE IS OUT???

[Keziah2007]

For departments that dont have the funding to get foam, water works just as well. Might take more, but at least there is no mess.

[FFabber]

@Keziah2007 Actually foam is quite cheap and it extends the fire fighting power of the water by 10 times. So if you use 100 gallons of water mixed with foam, you get the same amount of fire knockdown as you would with a 1000 gallon pure water discharge.

[Keziah2007]

If you have money to waste on foam, water works just as well. Esp for that little of a fire.

[ChocolateChipPizza]

Actually, Class A has been found to be twice as effective as water alone. It's as much as five times more effective when used with CAFS.

[fireman1]

there is absolutely no reason to ware full structure fire turn out gear to fight brush fires! want a more safer efficient way of fighting these fries? buy wild land gear. can't affors it? all u need is jeans, leather non steel toe boots, a long sleve cotton shirt, gloves, and a hard hat.

[bofts]

@fireman1 TRue

[randallpaulcom]

unfortunately if you wear your turnouts getting to a fire around here you going to die of exhaustion getting there lol. We have the wild land nomex gear and have to get geeked up. Hazel hoe and shovel and and Reinhardt are what we have to use. But hey it would be nice to have a little cart take you up the trails. Like golfing!

[man2wild]

i dont even work for a fire company and i want one.

[madhatte73]

Oh, how cute. It's a baby wildland chaser! I bet its parents are proud.

[gfpd2722]

we just got one of these skid units this week. we have alot of farm land that the farmers like to burn off and leave

[firman218]

come on guys i know i have done this more than once but wheres all your gear? HELMET?

[rockinfireman95]

you dont wear full gear to brush fires only your bunker pants and sometimes helmet and fire gloves

[manlytexan]

Question is.. what is more cost effective? A shovel and Indian Tank, or a $2500+ golf cart?

[zackairsoft]

but which one puts the fire out? exactly.

[2010025]

both

[rockinfireman95]

the shovel and indian tank

[sabrefirefighter]

i bet they are using cemguard foam

[lmsasquatch]

Is that 3/4 inch or 1 inch?

[FASANORACING]

Exactly right , we bought a $300 honda pressure washer w/ 200 ft of hose and a 100 gal tank , it works great and only cost $450 on the back of our mule.

[TheFireman203]

hey man that works

[killtheskanks]

We put a pressure washer on it so the 75-gal. goes farther. Just put foam in the soap bottle. I wouldn't take the Indian Tank period. Grab a shovel and a pulaski, that's all you really need anyway.

[mydigitaltrends]

I want sound damnit!

Davey pumps just can't be beaten!
