Dont you guys have burn permits? All farms and ranches in our area have burn permits as with residences. Even all the golf courses have to have them. So when john q public looks out and sees smoke and calls the 911 they can trace the location and see if there were burn permits issued in the area. It saves SOOOO much time. We still dispatch if its questionable or law will swing by.

Yea we have burn permits but the owner didnt call and get one and they wouldn't have issued it for the day because of wind.

It was mashed topping at a slow 65 MPH or so.

where is this?? and 2 questions... How important is the Building construction class, and is there a certain speed your supposed to go when responding or is it as fast as you can safely??

[demingff]

Deming New Mexico...its 30 miles from Mexico in Southwest New Mexico.

Knowing you building construction is important so if you get a chance to take the class then go for it. As far as speed, I believe the state law is we can only go 10 MPH over the posted speed but depending on traffic and the road we sometimes go faster, and our engines only do about 65 anyway

Lots of comments regarding how slow the companies were responding, or how one Engine "smoked" the other. Speed insn't nearly as important as arriving safely ON LOCATION. It's just my opinion but the distance between the companies shows a safe driving attitude, and shows the Departments safety oriented "culture". Thought you guys did great!

Wow, you guys are driving so slow!

I live next to a fire station in Finland, and I've seen them driving 3 times faster than in this video.

this is all over someone not legally burning brush or any yard debris. people in areas where you need a burn permit need to learn when it is appropriate to burn yard debris or brush.  it is a waste of taxpayer money to put out a fire a person illegally started to burn brush or yard debris. there should be a nationwide law where the person who was burning yard debris or brush without a permit needs to pay the bill for emergency response and fire suppression.

65 mph might not be fast by our standards(car drivers) but you're talking about 60,000+ pounds of vehicle with water which plays into how the vehicle operates.
