fireworks started grass fire

This is the High Res version. Its 4k camera, with NO SD card. Its recorded to NVR. The camera does some compression. There is no RAW version of the video available.

[@JestRR]

IF I were the chief of this Dept, and I saw this video of my FF's doing it this way...They all would be going through a refresher course on basic FF skills!!!

[@matthewbrothers2823]

Hope yall got info on that jeep. Prosecute the hell out of them

[@northtexasfireresponses]

Adding on to this the brush truck for the city is 12 minutes away and if they called for aid from the neiboring city's brush truck it is still upwards of 10 minutes away. The engine company did the job the best they could with the resources they had on scene available to them. Not to mention there was a very severe drought when this happened.

[@billjenkins687]

Lots of armchair firefighting warriors here. I'd be willing to be NONE of them ever wore the uniform.

[@NewSurvivalSkills]

I wore the uniform for 14 years, primarily as a wildland firefighter and this whole video is nothing but a klusterfuk. Now what?

[@JestRR]

this is a real good example of how not to do it!! This is how firefighters get hurt real bad....when they underestimate the situation!!

[@klee3325]

The fact that they just left and didn't call 911 is disgusting.

[@Ricardo_Moto]

Tbh this looks like straight out arson to me as as Aussie.

[@nathanstorch2972]

agreed like i don’t see any fireworks but he should be fined or arrested for it

[@114thrcwebmaster5]

@@nathanstorch2972 This is just part of the video from 6 cameras. Fireworks were used and started the fire. FD was on scene quickly and took care of the issue. This is in a park.

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

I’d say it was more a case of neglect and stupidity. Arson suggests premeditation.

[@semperfidelis8386]

14:51 working from within the black around the perimeter is the best way to make use of the limited resource...as long as you ain't HOSING DOWN THE BLACK, Jack

[@floydyoung7329]

Very poor attack for a simple creeping grass fire. And shorts with a helmet. Wow!

[@josephastier7421]

People underestimate grass fires.

[@elvisbest3213]

@609 is that the same jeep driving put they crime scene looking they handy work?

[@JoystickTX1]

I hope you turned the video over to the police.

[@skitzochik]

No...actually it was 2 idiots that started this fire

[@saminasser7807]

I would really hate to work for a department that would look down on me or peer pressure me into not wearing my PPE and SCBA during a fire like this. No life was in danger and it would’ve taken only 60 seconds to put on. Not much is going to change in a fire like this

[@JestRR]

dont think this fire called for an SCBA, but its a real good example of "Go back and Do it again!!" Failures like this are why FF get hurt. not thinking, or thinking..."Its just a small Grass fire"

[@KyleMorpheus]

10:08 you can see they drove back around to see if their handywork got out of hand...

[@CCWSig]

It's not even the same kind of jeep.

[@KyleMorpheus]

pause 1:58 and pause 10:18 literally the same Jeep @@CCWSig

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

are those brush fire approved shorts? lol

[@arizonamodelshop2512]

1. No anchor point established, 2. Improper PPE or lack of. 3. Minimum hose size used for attack should be 1" 1/2. 4. No regard for protecting the point of origin. Complacency leads to injuries or death. Perfect video to use as a training aid on the OSHA violations seen in the video !!!

[@docersatz5228]

Sufficient PPE for a small grass fire. Hose reel commonly used in such situations for several reasons. Skills? Situational awareness? Not so much.

[@docersatz5228]

Well, OK, maybe not the guy in shorts...

[@arizonamodelshop2512]

Not where I worked for 36 years it was minimum of 1 1/2 and always full wildland PPE!!!@@docersatz5228

[@samuelescobedo5779]

A 1 inch whip line is perfectly fine for a grass fire. It is the most comonly used for grass fires. The use of PPE in my opinion here is fine, this is a fast moving grass fire with varying fuel loads. This is an area of the city where other resources take at least 8 minutes to arrive. This city is also not used to dealing with wildland fires, the past 2 seasons have been the most brutal ones I've ever seen, the combination of 110+ temperatures and extremely dry conditions make it imperative for a quick stop. I have seen situations where a brush truck going at least 30+ MPH in a field that was not able to catch up to a grass fire. I think they did fine given the circumstances as this easily could of taken off into the field and along numerous tree lines.

This was satisfying to watch when you fastbfoward

also is the dude on the hose new? not trying to be mean just trying to work out his skillset

[@cjritchie9701]

Clearly not

[@projectredhead]

@cjritchie9701 clearly not yeah he couldn't contain the tiny flanks and ran hi line through fire with no ppe ?

[@hikarusakihara6567]

野焼きじゃなくて放火だったのか… At first I thought it was a open burning. It was actually arson.

[@NudgieBytes]

In one hour it would've reached the bushes behind it.

[@officialchrisazrikam]

Really wish there was more information on this.

[@114thrcwebmaster5]

The video was filmed by security camera. The video was posted for the use of the members of the club whos grass was burned by the fireworks.

[@MikeG4936]

Unbelievable.

[@bigcountry5045]

as a firefighter here in texas ..... i hope they got caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law ........ what friggen idiots !!!!!!!

[@NewSurvivalSkills]

This video is 100% a klusterfuk, the failures already pointed out by others are 100% correct. Anyone who doesn't understand the failures pointed out has never worked in the profession and it shows.

[@arniedavis5784]

Who filmed the video? Were the two young men ever apprehended and charged? Reckless use of fireworks, possible arson?

[@114thrcwebmaster5]

the video was captured by Security camera

[@OnlyDubai]

Fireworks? Are you sure? I guess it’s a firemen department training or the jeep wanted to burn the field for some reason

[@javiermorales9095]

Lol arm chair firefighters are funny.

[@belair54805]

Holy shit the secondhand embarrassment, what the hell was that? Is that a paid department?

[@mer2705]

This whole video is suspicious

[@CMNIK1051]

Poor emergency response

[@KevinLyons-gn7eu]

It was recorded on 2022 on July 30, 2022

[@straightwhitemale4228]

It doesn’t matter if this is just a grass/outside fire…PPE should have been worn. No pack was necessary but bunker gear should have been worn. I don’t know about this dept or area so I will leave it at that. A lot can be learned from this. And this was 100% arson. If you haven’t already, send this video to law enforcement l.

[@floydyoung7329]

"Bunker gear" is just as inappropriate as the shorts

[@memer_gaming121]

NOOOOO! The DNR has yelled at me numerous times for wearing just bunker pants to a wildland call. My local DNR here in Wisconsin told my department last training we had that they would rather see us in jeans than bunker gear. We recently got wildland gear for our department so now we don't have to worry about it but never wear bunker gear to a wildfire.

[@johnortmann3098]

@@memer_gaming121 Absolutely. You might end up walking miles for hours. Dragging all that bunker gear extra weight would get old fast.

What the hell do you think a push broom going to do

[@frankssawdustfactory3872]

Actually, brooms and flappers are very effective tools. And don't need any water to operate. Hoseman moving too fast though, IMO. Put your head on a swivel, keep on top of those flare-ups. Probably not much experience on grass and brush.
