05 15 2014 1200 hrs Video Ridge Brush Lambui

Ridge Fire Dept. had this brush fire on Thurs., 05/15/2014 at approx. 12:00 hrs. and requested at least nine additional departments to respond on mutual aid. It took approx. three hours to extinguish the large area of brush with mop-up operations continuing in to the late afternoon.

There’s a lot to be said about used military trucks converted to engines here in Southern Oregon we had them and they were Real good . That one time our main engines at my station was a used military I carried 700 gallons of water and a nice monitor we could knock that fire out.

[@IncredulousIndividual]

Very interesting method of attack, with some even more interesting brush rigs. You don't see this out west. There also seems to be quite a surplus of manpower but I guess that just boils down to how populated the East Coast is. Good video.

Heck yes that's how you do it. Drive right on in there and get straight to it. These trucks are badass!

I have a 1983 M923A0 with a 2,500 Gallon water tank on the back that had completely replaced the cargo bed when the truck was owned by a fire department,it is not built up or guarded like the M923A2 in this video.Two of my trucks however have bumper guards and cages surrounding the cab area.One is a 1970 M35A2,and the other is a 1971 M813A1 which has seen a very rough life and I'm in the process of repairing it to normal status.Two fire departments here in Texas have a M923A1 and M1078 LMTV that they use.I also spotted in this video that I saw what looks to be a M49A2.

[@swspartanhwk]

[@caseyjacobson6568]

Interesting that all the trucks are built to smash through the foliage. Seems like that's part of the tactics and the units are built to do that job.

[@LiHotShots]

That's exactly why they are built that way, helps them get to the seat of the fire ;-)

[@Rangerjake72]

thas how they buld them in NY, Mass and NJ

[@Slim_Slid]

I have a 1973 M813A1 and 1991 M923A2,both are 21,550 lbs solid.I have ran through trees and a bunch of other shit during floods or off roading,and these trucks are just straight up plain,and the 5 Ton Trucks.So I can only imagine if they were fully guarded doing the same thing with all that like the ones in this video.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

we don't even have specific brush / offroad trucks, we take our plain normal urban trucks to offroad calls

[@racksblue9846]

same here in california where the trucks cant go we send men with shovels and hooks,chain saws,

[@EricWhiteTheGamer]

Most city’s don’t in fact most city’s run 4x4 and there normal trucks but that are equipped with brush tools. Then most also have what looks like an ASAP ambulance but for the fire department. I suggest you watch SMFR there videos you would most likely like them.

Yes they can,a Fire Department here in Texas has a M1078 LMTV,theirs only has a water tank put on the cargo bed.I have worked on it myself because one of the truck's Air Actuators had come apart and it kept slipping from the T Bolt while it was almost hanging next to the Axle.

One would think they don't get many brush fires. They should really get some heavy duty off road rigs.

[@watchthe1369]

Those ARE military heavy duty off road rigs. On the west coast you see a mix of those and Skidgines from the volunteer departments. Not as deeply armored against whipping branches though. way fewer crew since the population density does not support it inmost places west maybe 3 or 4 at most.

@@LiHotShots Because the Confederate Flag was for the Confederacy. Long Island is in New York.

[@LiHotShots]

bg1379 that’s very true. Did you know that NY was going to secede to the confederate side at the out break of the civil war, but switched to the union side at the last moment? Also, the confederate flag is also considered the “Rebel Flag” and you don’t have to be a southerner to be a “Rebel” 😁😁 behindthescenes.nyhistory.org/when-new-york-wanted-to-secede/

[@bnadit1949]

To the crews on the 2.5 ton trucks. This is a vegetation fire, why the Bunker gear?

[@Rangerjake72]

probably department policy to wear PPE on a fire, and if all you have is structural gear, thats what you wear

[@bnadit1949]

It is NFPA policy to wear PPE, but structure gear on wildland fire makes you look like a fool to those of us out West.

[@Rangerjake72]

it makes me shake my head to see the structure guys here all bunkered out when on a wildland fire, and I'm relatively cool in my yellows and green

[@bnadit1949]

Jp Desilets The only time I can think it would be beneficial is in a burnover, but that situation is rare.

[@LiHotShots]

Some departments aren't rich enough to have both types of gear Bnadit Fleet. And you know as well as most, those on the ground are governed by policies they have no say in and are following dept. SOP's and by-laws. I'm sure they'd love to have the comfort, and not look like fools, of wild land gear. I'm sure their first thought when they don their gear is how foolish they'll look in your eyes.
