Firefighter's invention could help crews deal with chemical leaks

[@ncooper987]

I was amazed by the reporter. Running multi-camera. clean shots, clean transitions, clean audio.

[@wolf3755]

ncooper987 read she does this a lot on city news

[@birdnestmedia]

That’s Toronto for ya

[@woxineaucrows7355]

who are you the tech/reporter Police lmao~ she has been doing this longer than you have your job Im sure~

[@goldfishie9210]

Just get some flexseal tape

[@YouMelon]

GoldFishie yes

[@thelaotianaviator]

THATS ALOT OF DAMAGE

[@dannytruong20]

I SAW THIS BOAT IN HALF

[@CarbonComp]

N O W T H A T ' S A L O T O F D A M A G E !

[@Xay48WinXay48]

GoldFishie lol

[@godsbestdd]

Flex tape will seal that

[@calvin3448]

Hahahaha Not

[@potatoraider7320]

Check your DMs, trump wants to talk.

[@PeterAlexanderWelch]

But aren't most flammable goods tankers aluminium? What about most 44 gallon drums have ribs in them, and when a drum is damaged to the point of having a hole, then its not exactly round anymore.

[@charleskarl4123]

Peter Welch this is more than anything a way to cover storm drains so when they dump water on a building it doesn't wash toxic chemicals into lakes and rivers but it can also be used to seal small holes in anything the magnet will stick to.

[@grandwaha]

It's another option in the HAZMAT arsenal. Every call is different it doesn't take up much space. You can never have enough options it's brilliant!

[@armouredoutlaw1537]

Why is there always a small minded comment such as this on every video that shows some innovation, this product is an option, no where was it said that this is the be all and end all of anything but it is another option that is fast and simple and safe

[@barnabyg6808]

What if it’s a plastic thing?

[@dangernoodle8376]

Tankieguy Lol no chemicals will come in plastic drums

[@barnabyg6808]

Dev Patel true but not all barrels are made of magnetic material

[@jamesluck2969]

Dev Patel, the peroxide and bisolfide my work uses comes in plastic

[@averagepatriot]

Completely wrong, any chemical that reacts with metal obviously has to be stored in poly drums. These generally are of the most concern when leaking.

[@TheGoldenTNT]

Take a second to remember that it isn’t foolproof its a concept that has serious promise

[@Banjoandguns]

He haz a mat

[@northfloridafire]

Christopher Longhorn 😂😂😂

[@firefightr_spike3846]

And you sir, just won the internet.

[@PugglevsPanda]

Their news intro looks like the news teams in movies

[@jlcheng6425]

Brilliant! May I know the name of the product?

[@ggslokgg4396]

GREAT REPORTER

[@leyroy1980]

Well chances are the drain is already clogged so no worries

[@PeterAlexanderWelch]

Its only funny cause its true

[@r4gerleak858]

Flex seal gets every job done

[@BizzarFish1]

I have one question, what if the thing is leaking is not contained in something made from metal.

[@MusicAusUS]

I feel bad when fire fighters have to pay for it. It s gonna be super expensive

[@scottish4276]

Do they realize most tanks are either aluminum or stainless?

[@firefightr_spike3846]

This would have been awesome to have in my Haz-Mat Tech class.

[@scottish4276]

Magnets do not stick to aluminum or stainless

[@markjones6358]

So where are the Easy-to-Grab (with gloves on), reinforced handles?

[@benm2525]

How much and where can we got them

[@asylumvideos9358]

What about a ridged surface

[@connervital]

The only problem is that after there done using it where does all the water go.

[@aronjohn84]

Vital Signs hazard waste center

[@elitearmani5953]

We bring you heavy duty flex tape

[@connorashton4172]

That’s a doormat mate

[@OhIDid]

What if the chemical was in a plastic barrel?

[@alexvanhorssen7914]

SSJX Knuck chemicals will destroy plastic with that reason they never do such things in plastic barrels... there may be chemicals which don't destroy plastic, but whatever they are always in barrels of metal

[@k-807]

brilliant!!

[@hellcatredeye-g6582]

After watching it I was gonna say the same thing get flexseal lol 😂 But it is a pretty ingenious idea with the magnets

[@mattunknown7070]

As far as the barrell one if there’s a barrell leaking that bad by the time they get there it will be empty

[@rdaadministration3809]

I saw this boat in half.

[@bryanmartinez6600]

*NOW THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE*

[@mattdeslauriersnc]

How much psi can it withstand?

[@bubsmarvel9558]

Hazardous should be in steel drums most no hazardous comes in plastic drums so ......where can I purchase them to donate to my local firehouse cause we’re in refining towns on east coast think they would be a great peace for them to have at there disposal

[@allenklingsporn6993]

Bubs Marvel That is absolutely false. Many hazardous materials come in non-bulk plastic barrels and Jerry cans, as well as metal barrels being shipped inside of plastic shippers, and this product wouldn't work for them. It's a cool idea and deserves a good manufacturer, but it does not work in every case.

[@jamesluck2969]

Look at many of the water treatment plants across the Midwest USA, A lot of their Chems come in plastic drums, or are stored in fiberglass tanks.

[@PeterAlexanderWelch]

So you carry nitric acid in a steel drum? That should work well....

[@JohnDoe-yq5bd]

Plus to piggy back off of what everyone else is saying you could donate these like this to a department but unless its been fully voted on and implemented into training guides RTC they won’t actually be used.

[@Myemnhk]

Acid is pretty hazardous and comes in plastic. Nice try but you arent fooling anyone

[@andrewgarcia907]

What about the drain on the curbs

[@GTRdrift35]

USE FLEX TAPE CHEAP N RELIABLE

[@HeathenGeek]

Kewl as fek. Also good for Navy since they use the same wooden wedge method to plug holes in a ships hull.

[@scimpty]

Magnets run out after a while so they can only use them for so long. Also what if the pressure is too high. Last they will obviously be very expensive.

[@flaviobriggs]

Yeah they will run out, in almost 400 years

[@scimpty]

flaviobriggs yeah

[@joshdosesomthing6678]

Use flex tap!

[@mnshp7548]

issue here, if the mat gets hot the mangnets will be destroyed

[@alexb5275]

MN SHP if the magnets got that hot, the container that the chemical is in will likely be compromised already.

[@okay_then8472]

Meh!! Flex tape does that eazy

[@edisonsoto2992]

I bet she feels cool

[@airmarshal]

why not just use flex tape?

[@Gamerboy-gy1rl]

Nice

[@guesswho36]

What if it a plastic drums caring acid? Answer: duck tape lol

[@krazykreator7127]

" I got the easy job "

[@Energetic_Ballistic_Solutions]

What if it was not magnetic like plastic

[@Futurebeefcake]

Same concept as flex seal tape just a magnet.

[@Douknowgregg]

What if it's plastic

[@Watchingyou-daily]

Only works if they stick with iron or steal grates and barrels

[@landon7542]

OR JUST USE SOME FLEX TAPE!

[@ecomancer007]

In refineries they've been using a Rubber mat and a bag of sand for years to cover sewer drains. Its not rocket science, put rubber down. Drop bag of sand on rubber, Walk away.

[@towtruckaj]

That method would work, But it seems kind of crude to me, This one would be faster to deploy, Probably seal better, And would be more portable because you could just roll it up and store it or apply it a metal surface.

[@ecomancer007]

Not all drains are made of metal. Rolling up items of that nature usually doesn't return to a flat state after a period of time, Roll up paper. leave it rolled ... unroll it and try to lay it flat. all it wants to do is roll back up. Same thing happens with magnets when coiled

[@towtruckaj]

I've never seen a non metal drain, Every drain I've ever seen has metal involved, And its a magnet, When they deploy it, If it wants to stay flat or not it will stay flat when attached to metal, And they can still alternatively attach it to a metal wall in a toolbox or something like that.

[@joe581]

Couldn't it just flow to the next drain

[@eiyuu5295]

*N O W T H A T S A L O T O F D A M A G E*

[@thegamingblob2265]

Just use flex tape 😂😂😂

[@juliorosiles7291]

they copied flex tape

[@axeljonsson151]

Just use some flextape

[@TheCoolStuffHD]

So wha about plastic barrels?

[@towtruckaj]

For plastic barrels Id assume they already have a separate technique because the jamming wood into the whole and filling it with that puddy looking stuff probably would just expand the whole on a plastic barrel, So they probably already have a different way of solving that, That works well.

[@methheadredneck6715]

Flex tape is better and easy yo use

[@VladimirLadev]

Hope he gets his product to market and retire well payed.

[@oitzharveyxd3227]

i know that guy owns them but i think a big company should just step up and make them for the departs for free.

[@zakzerkich1788]

o iTz Harvey xD thatwould cost a lot in materials, labour, and shipping. Those things use heavy rubber and expensive magnets. Making them will cost a lot and shipping multiple heavy objects is very expensive. No one would do this for free.

[@alexb5275]

o iTz Harvey xD lol

[@obtuseangle9767]

Not how that works

[@fastlife866]

nice idea, but it wont work on a lot of metals. such as an oil tanker thats made out of aluminum.

[@duenge]

or stainless steel...

[@vwlover4677]

So just better hope what ever is leaking is metal. Storm drains, perfect.. otherwise, idk..but I'll give them most of bad chemicals are in steel drums.
