Our E-One was plumbed with sprinklers on the exterior of the truck in case it ever became an exposure....a good thing to have for just these types of situations.
you can turn off the adjusting system to a ladder truck which can allow you to drive it with the ladder or outriggers up, if it was a cheaper spec it may not even have the fuctions to auto audjust
@briant179 You werent there. so dont criticize to harshly. For all you know, there was light smoke on the opposite end of building upon arrival. And as far as "they taught against in fire school", you cant tell me that you dont do something against what school taught at almost every call. We all do,school teaches in best case scenarios,we as firefighters have to take that basis and adapt it
I agree ilovemeagan, that wasnt that dangerous of a move and was a logical decision. I'm suprised the apparatus moved with the outriggers partially down and the boom raised though.
Yes there is. The manufacturer(after the fact of course) was baffled that they were able to do what they did because they said it should have "never happened"
We had the same problem here in the Netherlands, now we can overrule the safety so we can pull back (slowly) if we need to. It's not funny to wait for the 'ping' sound that your engine is ' well done'
Good thiking on the guys with the handline. Prolly saved the guys in the bucket, and Mr Willburne dont mind guys trash talking your other vid. The operator did a excellent job and the chief made the decision to save lives and equipment. kudos to your department
How about having a Engineer that knows what he is doing
