@napsterbater <Look up "Fire truck cam responds to car fire" and you'll see a booster put out a fully engulfed car fire just fine. I've put out cars with an f350 brush tender's red line. You people that hook up to hydrants for a dumpster fire crack me up.

@USMC3531tsd The hose line did seem to come out in an absolute mess, which did look bad and cost time. As for a booster (witch or normally 3/4in or 1in, 3/4 on most of ours.) putting the same amount of water no way, they might do 30gpm +/- compared to 125 of the 1 1/2in.

@napsterbater < Not starting a fight here but water is water and time is important, not to mention the red line spits out the same GPM as the Inch and a half and is FULLY capable of knocking down an auto fire. I was mainly commenting on the sloppy work and resulting spaghetti pile. Proper stowage and removal are important for safety and time, plus that shit just looks bad a wadded up on the truck like that...make the dept look lazy and unprofessional.

@USMC3531tsd SOP's? Ours say nothing smaller then a 1 1/2in on a car fire.

@MrJakemoffitt < Bumper shock. Likely they didn't jump because he intentionally hit it with the hose to trigger it.

Why the F would they drag out that spaghetti pile why the booster could have knocked that shit down. Hitting the booster as soon as they rolled up would have had it out before THESE guys even had water on it.

Late 80's like 88 & up to about mid 90's Chevy and GMC trucks had some electrical problems. I have seen quite a few of these trucks burn and they were caused by faulty electrical wiring.
