Firefighters Extinguish Garbage Truck Fire, Cool Off CNG Tanks in Saint James Church Lot

Best way to get trash trucks fires out rapidly with less water and manpower is to have the trash truck operator push the trash out while they are moving forward to spread out the trash! It's way easier to put out that way and reduces costs for repair as well! Reduces water waste and trash waste runoff and the extra work on the FF's. The trash is going to need to be picked up after spread out anyways!Former Fire Chief!

[@bryanphillips6666]

How bad do you think this STUNK!?

[@mikeschulte4271]

Not as bad as ur attitude does 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 just kidding

[@kill-shot1186]

I agree Chief. Front end loaders can pick that up when it's all done!

[@AmericaVoice]

@@kill-shot1186 Yes sir! God bless you!

[@AmericaVoice]

@@bryanphillips6666 It stinks even worse when burning! Lol

[@Jim_86]

Dumping the load on to the ground was actually a smart move because its easier for the firefighters to put out the fire that way. Because they can atack the fire from all sides while the garbage is on the ground and they can spred out the load on the ground too making it even easier to put out the fire. Plus the heat from the fire heat up the sidewalls and the roof on the garbage truck since metal attract heat. That's why the firefighters sprayed the garbage truck with water to cool down the truck from the heat caused by the fire even after the garbage was dumped on to the ground.

[@bryanphillips6666]

Well at least the outside of the truck will be clean 🤣🤣

[@freeman2399]

The neighbours got a special treat that day.

[@humbertomonteiro6742]

That's why you should never put batteries in the trash....

[@gregsatterly9412]

That redefines the term " a hot mess"...

[@PedoKingBoJideb]

He should have dumped it ASAP before running off,that's what they teach us to do.

[@757roth]

Exactly, good man 👍

[@luckystrike1151]

Can't imagine how bad that smelled

[@bond1j89]

like burning rubber

[@cliffburridge]

Like god’s farts after a kebab.

[@zyglo9826]

I agree with @Ben Roe…aren’t drivers instructed to dump the load in a safe place at the first sign of fire? Save the truck if possible. Better to make a mess and pay the cost of cleanup than to have the truck destroyed. And why didn’t the FF’s immediately instruct the driver to dump his load instead of wasting time and water spraying the OUTSIDE of the truck?

[@quinnbeagle5136]

natural gas tanks needed to be cooled i think as priority

[@andrewfrost8422]

You clearly would not dump in a street without emergency services on scene. Load could meet oxygen then erupt.

[@jacobstewart2041]

@@quinnbeagle5136 just an FYI you never cool cng tanks on trucks. There pressure relief is temperature activated. By cooling the tanks you keep the pressure valvles closed. Then it goes boom.

[@Taillighttim26]

@@jacobstewart2041 most gas cylinders have pressure relief valve so they don't blow up but trying to keep them cool is also hard on the structure of the steel can have issues if they try to reuse the tank

[@jimmywinchjr8913]

Thank goodness it was only trash that burned in the back of the truck. The good thing at least your truck got washed for free

[@avontaprice8728]

At least the inside garbage trucking a good scrub wash getting cleaned out.

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

The Squad Truck was an interesting add-on.

[@mustbefamousjr4888]

I wonder if lithium batteries cause a lot of these truck fires

[@olivertaylor8788]

Hell yes.

[@mattt198654321]

That priest must have given a hot sermon

[@michaelfreiberg4375]

We are trained to always dump it first before pulling the truck away if, if safe to do so.

[@joebeach7759]

Curious why they kept hosing down the truck long after it quit steaming? I don't think it was ever on fire. It got hot, for sure but there were more lines devoted to that than the burning garbage. I've seen several videos now where they keep spraying water on the outside an never through an access panel or never dump the trash. It's a lot easier to clean up the trash than clean up a truck that burned to the ground. I understand they are CNG, but they weren't cooling the tanks just the outside of the back.

[@andrewfrost8422]

Good efficient operation. Good video

[@speedycounzaulist5244]

before anyone thinks c prt of cng means clean half of the companys are not sure what it means compressed not clean

[@TowMater603]

Well that's one way to get a free truck wash . lol

[@MargaretCampbell-wv7eg]

The clean up will be ap big job but glapd the fire is out 😮

[@jerrykinnin7941]

Well that's one way of doing it.

[@cronk6879]

at least the truck got a much needed bath

[@kill-shot1186]

Why cool the tanks... That is a FD NO NO... Can you tell me your thought process!?!

[@FedoraSnatcher]

Did you get the Metra train in des plaines this morning ??

[@Taillighttim26]

Cleanest trash truck in the fleet😊 that is a hell of a mess to clean up some dumbass through out a propane tank in the regular trash

[@Utubin]

A lot of people are simply not taught the proper way to despose of disgarded items. Sadly there are always the one's who simply donot care. Sadly chemicals are killin the worlds planet and it's people globally. And yes all landfills are mountains of covered chemicals.

[@frankupnxt]

Thats a mess I would hate to clean...trash truck drivers are one of a kind

[@Jhihmoac]

Not any of the truck mechanics, but the trash itself... That probably means it will all be dumped onto the pavement, doused, and poked through until it's cold out... Then comes a roll-off container and a front end loader shovel to clean it up... Always a mess!

[@jamesdavis5096]

7:50 this fire fighter is only 3 foot eight. What? Did they get a fifth grader to fight fires now?

[@KaiserStormTracking]

hes kneeing on one side as hes backing up the nozzleman

[@jaredshep4030]

I wonder how they clean everything up after having to dump it all out due to a fire emergency in the back of the garage truck

[@thebigmacd]

Watch the video then.

[@JackMacLupus]

Pretty simple. If the trash is on the ground, call a container, maybe two, a wheel loader and then load it into the containers.

[@jaredshep4030]

Wow I'm surprised I didn't think about that

[@olivertaylor8788]

THE SECOND YOU SEE SMOKE,DUMP THE LOAD , LYTHAM BATTERIES ...

that is one ecological disaster all of that toxic liquid scatted on the parking lot but the Dump truck very clean

The garbage truck needs a wash anyways. Next time you want your car washed just light it up.
