Travel Trailers on fire. Excellent first line attack shots!

VIDEO #2 OF 3.

Two 5th Wheel Trailers burn on Hugo Road near the town of Hugo, Oregon on Saturday April 23, 2011 at 7am. Rural/Metro Engine 7502 with a crew of 2 pull the first line on the incident. Tender 7542 with a crew of 2 is only minutes away.

This area of Josephine County has 3 private fire departments who compete for contracts. The fire was originally believed to be a Rural/Metro Fire contract but the incident address was incorrect and was later confirmed to be a contract with Grants Pass Rural Fire.

The firefighter in the black turnout gear is with Inland Fire and can not help out on the incident because Inland is competition with Rural/Metro. The red fire engine is a unit with Inland (first on scene btw) but it's of no use on this fire.

The lady that you hear on the audio was asking me for a copy of the video as she believed her boyfriend started the fire.

Are those spare rigs? I saw the other vids and the other vids had shown them using Pierce and Spartan rigs.

[TackerVideos]

@genralfilipinoboy nope, no spare rigs in this video. You do see 3 departments in thie video btw.

[genralfilipinoboy]

@TackerVideos Oh. So this is the rigs they use for everyday emergencies or calls?

[TackerVideos]

@genralfilipinoboy yep, the yellow/green engine form rural/metro is always first out for structure fires in the north valley, the tender from rural/metro is second out.

I assumed it was a meth lab until I read the comments lol.

@Stealthguy06 it sure sounds like it. you can clearly hear a female voice (im assuming the owner of the trailer) asking for a copy of the video at 1:15, citing her boyfriend started the fire.

[genralfilipinoboy]
