I am a retired wildland fire chief. I was always ready to call in air support if I need it but I know how expensive it is if I didn’t need it. This engine had to spray the line twice and I'm not sure it is stopped even now. I do have some strong suggestions. 1. Keep the truck inside the burn ALWAYS. The first rule I learned as a hot shot proby in 1966 was to keep one foot or tire in the black always. One of the common denominators of fatal fires is fire burning in flashy fuels. If the wind kicks up to 15 mph, the burning front will lay over 6 to 9 feet which is more than you can run through unharmed. In fact all you need to do is inhale smoke or super-heated air and you're toast. The black is the safest place you can be. 2. You can stop more of the base of the fire from the black. 3. Take the man off the front bumper and have him walk along the edge of the fire and in front of the engine. His hose work will be more effective. 4. Have the rear hoseman walk behind and follow up along the fire edge putting out remaining fire that reignites. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

When we used to use sacks blankets and even our denim jackets to beat grass fires out, it was just common sense to work from the safety of where the grass was already burnt and we could not get surrounded by the fire. With todays synthetic footwear, particularly sneakers, it may not be as easy. Fortunately, here in the UK we do not get too many serious grass fires, but as a result, our fire departments are less equipped to deal with them. In areas covered by only one truck, unless property is at risk, they will not attend and leave the town uncovered in event of a house fire.

Great video , one thing that you might try for those grass fires and the thick brush is add some dawn to the tank and as it is pumped out is applies a kinda soaking foam and will penetrate further and deeper , and works well on those grass clumps and brush and dawn work good in the small tanks and also the indian packs aswell for when your doing mop up , stay safe out there

Awesome water firefighting apparatus. I like the spray and roll. In light fuels, slow-burning why not fight the fire like you did from the fuel side of the fire. You are wetting the unburned fuel at the same time you are knocking down the flame. And the rear followup hose is catching the hot spots. Great job. VCFD/UFD.

Buford Pusser Not necessary. In Tennessee ,where I live, when we had the Great Smokey Mountains on Fire the US Army National Guard had to come in with their black hawk helicopters to assist in putting it out. Their has been some other cases where the National Guard had to fly in and put other fires out. Also it depends on how far away the helicopter is to fly in. My closet medical helicopter when they dispatch us to set up a LZ (Landing Zone) they say “Lifestar has a ETA of around 9 minutes” and they are a county away so it depends on how far they are away. Also it takes a while to start up a helicopter and do a pre flight inspection before they start up. Not every state has a fire department that has a helicopter.

The problem with doing that is we have to bring all of our own water and as big as fire as this one was we didn't have nearly enough equipment or water and the way the wind blowing it will still get through a wet line unless somebody is sitting there babysitting it the grass and places was two feet tall and you'll never get enough water to make it wet enough to not burn or blow Embers over and start the other side

OK Teller, here's what I said again, "Always fight wildland fires from the BLACK", I said absolutely nothing about the BACKSIDE. Whenever possible you try and position yourself and your apparatus in the area that is already burned, especially on a wind driven fire that way the fire can't hook around you and trap you. The fact that you can't read and have to resort to name calling toward somebody you don't know doesn't lend any credence to your comments.

YOU always want to fight fire from where you can't be burned. That would be about the same ideology of parking your engine in the garage of a structure fire because that part of the house hasn't burnt yet. Not a really good idea now is it.

why do you use a high pressure structure nozzle? if you use 1.5" line with a forestry nozzle you'll use 1/3 of the water you'd normally use allowing you to be more efficient in your attack and it will work just as well. Using structure nozzles even on low pressure just wastes water since you are using such a high volume of water. Its a waste of time because then you have to keep going and refilling your tank.

When it come to fire, always lock hubs, engage 4x4 before going after the fire.. Once stuck it might be too late.loss of life and equipment might be greater then when you prepared for ruff terrain.

A little confused why you are only hitting the fire line... should be wetting the unburned area in front front of the fire as well... many of these tend to re-ignite. Also it's best to be on the black when you are hitting the fire.

Locked in 4 wheel drive. Back in the old days. We had to manually jump out and lock the front wheels in when you put it in 4 wheel drive. If not sometimes the would jump back in 2 wheel. We didn't have this fancy stuff like now. Lol

The fire is mostly in a circle from it's point of origin. Most crews concentrate on areas that are spreading the fastest, or where their are no natural firebreaks, or where their are buildings in the path of the fire. A good local knowledge of the area is a big help.

Keep in mind you are bringing in your water. You are using a straight stream to extinguish a tiny fire. Open the nozzle to a wider cone and barely open it. You want to cover a wider area anyway just in case you left one little ember that reignites behind you.
@IdaHowitzer
@IdaHowitzer 6 жыл бұрын
Yeup. +1 to that. Short bursts with a large cone from inside the black. No sense shielding your water with unburned fuel. I could have put that out with 1/5th the water in 1/2 the time. But hey, this could be the dude's first fire, and the video gets me amped.

Get off the truck walk in the black and use fog spray not a straight stream. In Montana we dont ride the truck. And we can put out a 1000 acre grass fire with a 500 gallon water tank with water to spare

Meh, they had "one foot in the black". Good enough for the fuel type. Keeps you out of the smoke. Now, riding on engines......I dont like that. But your guys will take less smoke and heat on the green side. As long as they stay close.

Both feet in the black, dismounted and with the wind at your back means a heck of a lot less smoke, and more effective suppression technique.
