No point in rushing to a fire if it takes you forever to charge 1 line off the tank. Put it in pump, put it in gear, get out, set the chocks, tank to pump, pull the line, charge it and idle up. Easy.

i had my car catch on fire it took them 30 min. to show up the engine blew up by then and the fucked up thing is we was 3 min away from the fire department.

it's like "easy does it, let it burn" slackers!

6 guys would be nice, but sometimes it just doesn't happen for whatever reason. I have already been part of a 3 man crew to put out a car fire and 1 of those guys was the pump operator. I had the nozzle, and the other guy backed me up and popped the hood, thats it. As long as you have the proper water application it will go out!

NIce to the use of full PPE, often you don't see that. Good video.

[Skankpronger]

why do they send more then 1 or 2 engines for a car fire? just curious

[ryanlovestosnowboard]

@Skankpronger one to put the fire out and the second for overhual and manpower

[Skankpronger]

@ryanlovestosnowboard how much man power do you need for a car fire? 2 guys should be enough in most cases. and what are you going to overhaul?

[ryanlovestosnowboard]

@Skankpronger you need at least 6 guys! and open up the car so they could put out the hop spots

[JoshIsDope843]

@Skankpronger if there paid fire fighters then theres always 4 guys on the truck at all times.

[Skankpronger]

@JoshIsDope843 not paid... only the near by city FFs are paid

[Harleybum]

It's summertime and the VW's are burning up all over. THESE CARS ARE A BAG OF SHIT....
