My wife is on a couple of fires in TX right now, so we have been talking quite a bit about the common practice there of riding on the truck while fighting fire. This is why my crew DOES NOT ride on the back of the truck.

Thanks for posting.

we just watched this in emergency vehicle defensive training as a WHAT NOT TO DO!! and a lil about vehicle dynamics

I guess the crew is OK. Thanks for not mentioning that newscasters.

@viewsonic362 < You can't even spell firefighter ... That's Strike 1. You feel the need to inform that you "know a bit more than me" when in reality a person with confidence and experience needs do no such thing...strike 2. You actually used "lol"... strike 3. Finally, No Fireman would ever bash his brothers like this. We are a family that spans the world and you're no part of it princess. I see no need to continue discussions with some 14 year old puke like yourself.

@coolsax64 Because only a retard would fight fire like that and get themselves in that situation. No wonder why some die every year.

@gnockergnutz Those roll cages are for lazy "firefghters", not safety. So I assume the "bushtrucks" just fight brush fires then huh? Nothing in heavy timber areas? LOL Now go back to your backwards volunteer station. Better yet, just quit.... the public would be safer without you.

@gnockergnutz Holy shit, u must be one stupid fucktard. First off, I've been a federal wildland fiefighter for a number of years, I think I know a bit more than you. Second, they are called engines except in the the volunteer and some career departments for some odd reason. Third, it IS called a running attack because you are on foot. Fourth, you try fighting a wildland fire in full turn out gear moron. You are aware they make PPE for wildland fire fightng right????

[gnockergnutz]

@viewsonic362 < That's not an "Engine" That's a B R U S H T R U C K, It's designed for men to safely ride in caged areas. There is no such thing as a "running attack" ANYWHERE in fire service, especially wildland fire. As for the gear?...You try fighting a wildland fire and experience a wind shift and tell me how that 1100 degree wind feels on your unprotected back you stupid fucking stain.

@viewsonic362 I agree with your statement but why call them a bunch of retards?

[chechnya]

@madrabbitt I'd imagine they aren't for structure but for protection against brush and as handrails.

its funny that all they talk about is the damage to the truck and dont say anything about the firefighters that were in it.
