While researching online I found out about a huge tire fire in 1999 that was completely intentional and set by arsonists... Stupid hicks, I'd like to settle the score and bloody them up. Oh wait, that's Mother Nature's job. And we're all gonna pay for it. Yee-haw.
Lots of mosquito larvae burning up. We had several million tires near us catch on fire and they burned for almost a week Terona Brother's tires. It's now a Super Fund site. It has been years, and it's still not fully cleaned up.
WOW!!!! let it burn and pollute the air you breath, EPA would really fine you for just standing there ands watch it burn.......Could have called Foresty Services they have the equipment to fight it if you don't....
@SCVFD1241NC there not gonna get fined for letting it burn... gov agencies dont fine other gov angencies for one and 2nd you cant extinguish it with nothing....

@sharppointy1 Believe it or not, it did not smell that bad. The smoke was traveling straight up and away from me. It was hot as hell though! Thanks for the comment
@creamyfilling102 All they could use was the hose on the brush truck, the fire was in such a secluded spot crews could not get a real line back there. I have no clue as to how so many tires got back there, guessing a few at a time. Probably a tire shop that didn't want to pay the disposal fee
if you get about 1000 tires and burn them at the same time. you could completely destroy some of the 0-zone. get about 100000 and destroy the world. GL
@quispamsisst2 NFPA 1961 says that an engine should carry 400ft of attack line and 800ft of supply, thats only the minimum that must be on the apparatus.
awesome video!! I like the sound of it burning. I bet some day they will find who was dumping them there and burning them. Love all of your vids, keep them coming.
Thanks for the comment, it was a pretty interesting sound coming off the pile. I doubt anyone will be caught, dumping tires is fairly common in the area. Guess the $2.00 charge for disposal is too expensive
Well, you never know. Maybe the "dumper" IS taking the $2. Just not disposing of them, Taking the money and running.....uggg....I`ve seen that happen here in Michigan.
It is sad, the guys with the lowest seniority found out Monday when they came in for work. More bullshit from the retard mayor, hope his house catches fire
LMAO, we all do it. I blame it on fat finger syndrome. My dumbass walked through the woods, then realized when I was leaving there was a "road" (if you want to call it that) that led all the way to the scene. Oh well, see ya on the next one. Stay Safe and stay warm
So THATS what it was!!!! Could see that header for miles!! Me and my kids chased it to 21st/MLK where we could get no closer. Heard it dispatched when they called M'ville out that it was a brush fire, but we all guessed it had to be tires or something due to the column. Thanks for making it back there and showing us what it was! See ya hopefully soon on 2nd rutn out west or in M'ville!!!! Take care Ed. Great job(s) as always!

Im surprise they didnt bring any lines in until the brush truck arrived.
quispamsisst2 2 years ago
No way to gain access with an engine, they were lucky a brush truck fit back there
mabas21 2 years ago
Ya but the trucks carries 200ft of hose dont they? I guess the fire was far in the woods then
quispamsisst2 2 years ago
The fire was well over 200 feet from the engine access, they needed tankers to shuttle water in.
