Fire truck cam responds to car fire

Engine #1 of the Stoughton Fire Department in Wisconsin, heads down the road to extinguish a car fire. My on board camera system records this incident and others for safety/training. As close as you can be to the real thing.

Do you guys use an emergency vehicle preemption system for the traffic signals?

[miraclevideojake]

Those were installed just after these videos were recorded. Glad to see them helping all.

I wonder how many of these car fires are caused by high amperage boom blasters hooked up to 20 feet of 16 guage wire... lol

Two idiots that close to the car? They're lucky the fire didn't reach the gas line...

Good knock down. Thanks for sharing.

@sabresfan1998 There were already two cops there a third one pulled up, not sure the reason for having 3 cops though? Maybe just bored though the radio says otherwise

@Crazyfogfighter Up here in Canada its the law to pull over no matter what side you're on for any emergency vehicle, the logic is so that if the people in the lane the firefighters are in are not able to pull over, it gives them an alternative on the oncoming lane, Help them help us, pull over! :P

[sabresfan1998]

you beat the cops to the scene... thats pretty good!

[ianmansfieldtv]

that is one raging fire

@Unit430 16 guage wire is pretty small. 12 guage is recommended for houses.

We have a couple lines on the front of our rescue truck that we use for vehicle fires. Remember uphill and upwind from the smoke and fire!

@DiggerDanAZ very few fire departments use them so more than likely no

Good to see people pull over, in colorado springs they dont give a crap. I cant wait till the day when then US does what belgium does and puts a camera on the front bumper and if you dont get out of the way if the engine or truck is going a certain speed, you get a ticket.
