Garage fire in Snohomish County Fire District 17 (Granite Falls), with mutual aid from Dist. 8 Lake Stevens, Dist. 22 Getchell, and Arlington Fire Departments.
Isn't it nice to see what a supply of water from tankers can do. A cafs upgrade on the next purchase of new wagons would really help in this rural district. My brother took a few years to get a cafs rescue engine and a 3500 gal tanker in place and they have made a huge improvement..
@giannispecioso its called a water curtain... not sure if it actually works. In my essentials for firefighting, they said it didnt work. but who knows, ive never used it.
the one at 2:09 on the left aiming his fire hose on the side of the garage without touching it is it in prevention of heat radiation that might go torward the main house or something like that ?
You can hear the compressed gas tank venting on arrival. Maybe could have sat back with master stream for protection. Just a thought. Exposures would be secondary. Arriving a minute sooner could have meant serious injury to fire fighters.
@nudist0885 neither. looks like a gas tank of some type blowing

@ 0:43.
Is that a flashover or a backdraft?
