Why the F would they drag out that spaghetti pile why the booster could have knocked that shit down. Hitting the booster as soon as they rolled up would have had it out before THESE guys even had water on it.
@napsterbater < Not starting a fight here but water is water and time is important, not to mention the red line spits out the same GPM as the Inch and a half and is FULLY capable of knocking down an auto fire. I was mainly commenting on the sloppy work and resulting spaghetti pile. Proper stowage and removal are important for safety and time, plus that shit just looks bad a wadded up on the truck like that...make the dept look lazy and unprofessional.
@USMC3531tsd The hose line did seem to come out in an absolute mess, which did look bad and cost time. As for a booster (witch or normally 3/4in or 1in, 3/4 on most of ours.) putting the same amount of water no way, they might do 30gpm +/- compared to 125 of the 1 1/2in.
@napsterbater <Look up "Fire truck cam responds to car fire" and you'll see a booster put out a fully engulfed car fire just fine. I've put out cars with an f350 brush tender's red line. You people that hook up to hydrants for a dumpster fire crack me up.
Late 80's like 88 & up to about mid 90's Chevy and GMC trucks had some electrical problems. I have seen quite a few of these trucks burn and they were caused by faulty electrical wiring.
I don't know why they used that crosslay, that's probably one of the reasons it took them a little longer. Looks like a 200' line. We use 100' trash lines (1 1/2 ") for car fires, preconnected. Much faster that way. And faster to reload.
there are alot of things to consider on these fire that take time to plan and execute. THings like water needs, bumpers, shocks, struts, gas tanks and tires. all things that can kill a fireman in a blink of the eye.
Air brakes set at :54, First water on fire at 2:56. Gotta shoot for a little quicker than that. This is a Routine car fire not endangering. Anybody else think diferently.

@MrJakemoffitt < Bumper shock. Likely they didn't jump because he intentionally hit it with the hose to trigger it.

The Engine did look quite close, but the camera angle was such that it was hard to judge the exact distance.
Hope that truck was insured.
