Fire Mitigation Grinder Demo vfdcapn - 473 views - 1 month ago
Demonstration of a Fecon hydraulic grinder on a Cat 287B track skid steer. Not exactly a finesse operation, but effectively deals with the crown spacing issue in a pinyon/juniper fuel type. A little less than 3 minutes to tackle a 12 foot tree.

Firefighter physical agility test - "Running on Empty" vfdcapn - 5,736 views - 5 months ago
It's a little harder than they thought, but that's okay, 'cause puke washes off the asphalt easy enough. The brutal part comes at the end of the course, pulling 150' of 2-1/2" hose hand-over-hand, then trying to re-load a 24' ladder on a flat rack.

Phoenix Fire Dept. salutes Flooded Roadway Travelers vfdcapn - 4,769 views - 8 months ago
Like the Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" radio commercials, the Phoenix Fire Department salutes these unsung idiots, because "...if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have a job."

Remember, don't eat broken glass, and don't shove hot metal objects into your backside.

See the pygmies from Salida Fire Dept. at 2:36. High winds kept us from taking the structure to the ground, meaning we get another day to train in this 2-story house. Disclaimer: I am not responsible for arsonist grafitti at fire origin training prop.

A little training and leadership sure could have helped this department. Just about killed a couple brothers.
