Just a little educational tidbit for you "Fire buffs", you can USE a LADDER on a BRUSH FIRE as a command post, so that the acting chief can get an aerial view of the fire without the need of calling in a Helicopter.
what do you need a ladder on a brush fire for? they are utterly useless. You CAN put a brush fire out with out using any water. we did it with a 70 acre fire, and not a drop of water.
you know just because your a city fireman doesnt mean you dont know how to fight brush fires. were i leave and im in the city we are trained to be brush and city firefighters. And brush fires and house fires are different but you do need the help of city firefighters everybody even the police men and women help so dont say they don't. and i know since i live where most the fires are anyways in southern cali.

im glad, they did what they were told. but sending a latter truck to a brush fire is stupid. youguys say man power well a pump truck has the same amount of people
@sunsetreptiles after shooting this vid I went to the scene, all rigs were parked and positioned where they were told, I took several pics of that scene, They did a GREAT JOB!!!!
doesnt matter where the fire is, they dont know shit about brush fire. They cant fight a brush fire like they fight a house or a tall building. you cant just put water on it and think it well go out. theres alot more to it.
when im at a brush fire i don't want city fire fighters there. all they do is get in the way. and there fire trucks. I always tell the city fires fighters to move there trucks.
r u on like a brush crew?? cuz thats the path im looking to take, when we respond to a brush, we take our brush, nd our engine stands by at the nearest road, but i know we make the inatial attack untill DCNR takes over
@sunsetreptiles First of all its pronounced "Their fire trucks", Their implies ownership, there implies a location. its also pronounced "Firefighters" not "fires fighters". Now that we got that out of the way let me say we are all just firefighters, we put our lives on the line 20 times a day when we get a call for service regardless if you are from an urban area or a rural one. As a so called "City" firefighter i would like to point out i have just as much knowledge on a brush as i do a tower.
ok...i'd love to see that tower in the a field fighting the brush fire... such a diference between city and county, here we respond in a brush truck and bring our 4 weelers lol
It is indeed odd to see a Tower responding to a brush fire call, but Kirky has a VERY valid point. Besides if nightfall were to come soon you may need the extra floodlights.
yeah..i'm from the country..we dont have a tower, we respond to brush fires with a brush truck and tanker...then our rescue for the extra crew and lights.
Hey was this from Auburn, MA? The big brush fire with the mutual aid task force from all around the county and the state police helicopters, if so I WAS THERE!
