A True Classic

[ArmyRescue2]

0:25...Can you say Flash Over ;)

[Scousefire]

That was gonna be one nice carpark real quick, no point or need to risk guys safety by sending them inside, defensive firefighting all day long!

[2007muggs]

As a Chief, rolling up to that type of situation made size up easy. No one in or on the building, make ready with the artillery and hit it when it flashes. Keep your firefighters safe and protect any exposures.

[Crazcompart]

Wow! Big flashover!

[343HFD]

NICE flash!

[SittingMooseShaman]

... maybe one/some of youzefireguys can go somewhere w/this- On paper she looks good:Built up off a Unimog(esque)6+WDultraheavy-du­ty chassis(must carry per/design 500 2 3,000+gal H2O) Standard driver/crew setup- w/ medium extension ladder/nozzle-hook- Wallpiercing hook/ram+retractable orbital/directional nozzle[4-6"feed]solidgroundCO2­injectedw/H2O/orfoam/allfoam- Turret[4-6"feed]/monitor/alsoC­O2-H2O/foam- 2"reelhosew/nozzleof choice- All designed 2 remove HEAT&OXYGEN

[343HFD]

@SittingMooseShaman sounds SWEET!

[SittingMooseShaman]

... man. when smoke behaves like that- it may as well be vaporized gasoline!

It IS ready 2 ignite!! Be that as it may, I've drawn-up ideas of a civic fire truck which is a houses' 1st arrival apparatus- designed much as an airports' truck- where it immediately upon arrival begins 2 take-down the fire- this tank/pumper/ mediumladder/wall piercing hook/nozzle and monitor/w/ground CO2 injector

/2"hose/reel: Key attack is 2 reduce heat&fire during crucial minutes hoses R being set-up+fastrescue.

[ncvfccadet]

wow, thats nice

[JACKCOURT]

Lumber/hardware... reads like a DOP test ;)

[ngfd209]

[doom112112]

[bum291]

They need to move that engine.

[jof880]

Did he said we need to get the flag before it's burn... An other " And I'm proud to be an Americain"

[daewooparts]

clean up on isle 5 clean up isle 5 , nevermind the fire will comsume it all

[tubesteakdynamo]

You do know it really is possible to film more than one or two minutes right?

[Usernameinvalid16]

"Was" that a school???

[transdrole]

toxic smoke GALORE

[D13GO10]

FUCK DA FLAG!!!!!

[daewooparts]

lol you can hear al the paint cans popping :P

[Foam219]

@daewooparts You're right. I didn't think that at first. None the less she's a hot one....

[mikeUSMC0311]

flashover at its best

[Wa3ypx]

Amen to that brother. At least now we know where its at and can put it out! Usually thats how bar fires look at about 0400 am.

[mikeUSMC0311]

haha yeah..... i know all about that shit lol.... but seeing as how my fd is fucking retarded and underqualified manpower wise.... thats how most of our fires look lol.... were getting better saved the last 3 houses lol

[Wa3ypx]

Where getting better in the last few years, smooth bore tips on 21/2's and low pressure high gpm nozzles on the 13/4. It all came to a ahead when the first in engine crew got driven out of a plumbing shop and didn't know why. It came down to too many BTUs and not enough GPMs. Be cautious of this kind of fire because its goin bust loose and be on your ass in no time. If they where on scene about ten minutes earlier, good truck work with charged lines waiting MIGHT have made some difference.

[mikeUSMC0311]

ill keep that in mind i appriciate the advice only being in the service about a year and a couple months

[Wa3ypx]

No problem. 29 years on the job in the inter city glad to have a probie taking an intrest in the job

[mikeUSMC0311]

im only a jolly volly at the moment haha but hell we do the same thing... but i absolutlely love it

[Wa3ypx]

Hey, no shame!

[themooseisontheloose]

@mikeUSMC0311 i was on for 5 years i resigned last year because i had some personal issues with some of the guys in the house and on the dept. i'm hoping to get onto another dept sometime in the next 6 months before my certifications expire

[EBEalienbeing]

Last time I saw a fire like this was in 1989 in my hometown and it was a whole plaza that went up and it took firefighters from like 6 other cities to put it out. I remember people just sat a good distance away with lawn chairs and just watched it burn down to the foundation. It was worse then this but this fire reminded me of that.

[MrWilburne]

Never gets old..haha...great vid....

[Firemedic712]

Made a Dollar General Store fire a few years ago this is haunting similar, it was an eerie full moon night and an immense amount of smoke was pushing out the front cockloft area, definitely an exterior defensive fire from the get go.

[2WMVFDjr]

lol when i saw all that smoke i was waiting for the flash over

[pmanson0624]

@2WMVFDjr exactly my first thought...

[coopmen]

I think its called a flashover.

Hot, hot, hot fire for sure....wow.

[qwertygnf]

AMAZING how the smoke becomes flammable (you could say)

Very good video

[chris45785]

sick flashover

[Firefighter175]

I would like to see the D/O side of that truck after sitting there and asorbing all that heat! Nice Video, you can tell from the very beganing the way the smoke is rolling is about flash point

[705west]

Pro Lumber and Hardware= fire load ;) Great footage with the smoke pre flashover.

[btfilmproduction]

. .

 o

[IR1985]

WOAH! Did the fire melt the paint off that truck? LOL

[johnyboy087]

i remember that the helcopters woke me up n i saw the smoke from my house

[themooseisontheloose]

that indeed was a true classic: heavy black smoke pouring from the building + minimum fire showing freom the exterior = an intense flashover

[sledneckzl600]

Also = big fire inside

[Muzic1]

wild flashover

[newsworking]

That was a once in a lifetime shot. This clip should be used in fire training. Good shot! keep up the good work.

[Blitz350]

That was awesome.

[JPOC226]

Freken nutty flash over!

[trucksd1]

That was a good hardware store

[FD291mag]

[kkk7hh]

[JPOC226]

[Fd16ns]

[deliverypenguin]

ohhhhh yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh baby

[truckieL12]

You can sure hear the fire rolling in the beginning part there. That is incredible footage. Nice!!!

[seagravefan]

As soon as I saw how that thick black smoke was moving, I knew right then a flashover was inevitable. Great video.

[Tunnelcop1]

thanks

[MrWilburne]

snap-crackle-pop

[mabas21]

Gets a perfect 10 in my book. AWESOME

[pumper8032]

[sfezfilms]

Of all the places to catch on fire it was a lumber store.

Nice footage!

[ffnva35]
