@arohn2007 manageable yes if we had a CAFS system in the car we were driving.... but we were on our way to watch a baseball game & we didn't have our firefighting gear on board. so capturing a car fire on video was all we could do.
@kahlua619 Depends on where you are. Quints in a big city are kinda useless. In a small community, or rural area they make more sense when you may have to have an apparatus do double duty.
just what i thought text book rookie, well i been a firefigther for 10 yrs basicly what your thinking is a constaint soruce eletrical fire,, the car's battery was long gone an melted down ,,,,, dont depend on what the books say learn fom your officers they know
Im a Firefighter and ill tell you EXACTLY why.. Becuase this fire was caused by a shorted battery. You dont fight a Class C fire (Electrical Fire) with water because water conducts electricity.
@lowrider5140 If the engine is off the alternator isnt generating electricity. Which means you dont have the amps flowing from the alternator to the battery. If the car is englfed as it was when FD arrived the battery would be melted to peices, meaning no more power in that battery. Thus no way to conduct electricity through the hose line. Ive never heard of a FD carring enough dry chem to put out a car fire with that, only leaves water, of CAFS which isnt to popular.
The people filming this should try putting it out, it looks pretty managable in the beginning

Quints are stupid. Engines for engine work, Trucks for truck work.

Too bad you didn't stay on the other side. Could have got a nice shot of the drivers side tire blow. At 2:30 I guess we know who's car it is.

Slow firefighters. Took them 2 1/2 minutes to put water on the fire after they arrived.
