Grassfire Tanker Tactics

[@paulojorgemachado5116]

very educational video for grass fires with good graphics and easy to understand procedures.

[@Jayden97Hollis]

the NSW RFS need some video's like this on youtube.

Great educational video

no this tactic is only used on low intensity fires with flame heights below the 1 1\2 to 2 meter mark and the main attack is done by the forward branch which hits in front of the truck so it doesn't matter plus you can easily just turn onto the black

They need bigger trucks with massive capacities, and hauling trailers with fuel in them for maximum power and robot controlled nozzles like Soviet firetrucks designed for forest fires, these monster machines are HUUUGE and can withstand up to 800 degrees of heat, some military versions can do 1000 degrees for a short period designed for use in rocket sites and airports.

Only for "special fire operation"

@@SMGJohnour trucks are made to be slim, which means while it’s smaller meaning it can fit into smaller spaces, it also has a small tank.

Answer. No. It is safe to work on a running grass fire alongside it by driving on un-burnt ground. This is because if we have water on the fire, it's probably unlikely to flare up at our faces, and in the event it does, our crew are very well protected. With the tankers equipped with wheel sprayers, it makes a wet line as we drive. Please explain further on how you think it would mean us having to 'kiss our asses goodbye.'

[@highcountrytimber]

Do you have personal fire shelters?

[@EmergencyResponsesBallaratReal]

Yes, strike teams although standard response tankers do not

[@TheAngelHavoc]

Not necessarily. If there's a slashed track to work from, that can work just as effectively as the burnt ground. It entirely depends on the situation; every fire will be different.

question. shouldnt you be putting a grass fire out by driving on the grass which has already been burnt. if a strong wind happens to come across you may aswell kiss your asses goodbye.

Current training: It's all burning - run!
