With all due respect, over the course of about a dozen videos now I've witnessed female personnel both in and out of full turnout gear, stand back and perform a support or observation role. Which begs the question, do they actually participate in actual suppression or do they just enjoy the limelight offered by the status of their positions? Again I hate to be that guy but it's an alarming trend I've noticed and it keeps repeating.

Had a fire very similar to this one in a huge auto salvage yard. Conditions like this with one exception. In the back by the tires, they kept all their magnesium rims that ignited from the heat and fire. We had no idea they were there until we hit them with water. Holy smoke! They just exploded and showered everyone with molten, burning metal. It was unreal. When we finally got the fire out except for all those rims, we had the town bring a couple dump trucks full of sand and a excavator and they buried all the rims. Man what a fire.

I notice the fuel tanks are taken out, and it’s not all that bad for what they are doing. We had a junkyard fire, and our “drivelines” were neatly stacked next to a building, outside. After they got “a pretty, bright orange hot”, they blew up. Hundreds of them. Some went so high, they seemed to disappear. They had to stay back for awhile. All firefighters were unharmed, “a very exciting night for the neighborhood”. Not much worse than that greasy dirt that we have in a junkyard, nice work JFRD! (Gasoline washes that grease off. That’s what we used, before lunch.)

Every US fire department could do with help from the UK, Europe or Russia. The resources and manpower available should make much shorter work of fires like this. The majority of the water used in this fire was wasted aimlessly. And turning up to a fire and still needing to get dressed is bizarre.

[@kenblock5033]

Ho visto molti incendi in America su KZbin e qualsiasi vigile del fuoco europeo si metterebbe le mani in testa a vedere come vengono spenti negli USA. A partire dall'attrezzatura, soprattutto l'elmetto, arretrata di almeno sessant'anni, così come le tattiche per attaccare il fuoco.

[@thejfrd2490]

We disagree...MERICA!

[@theroachden6195]

First units on scene are always in their bunker gear. They don't mask up till they're there on scene to save air. Additional units dress out as they arrive. As for water, yeah you'll see that a lot where fire fighters are standing next to something burning and spraying other parts of the fire 30ft away. But Europeans love talking shit about how Americans fight fires but they never offer any solutions that are not already in use by most US departments. Or for that matter, invented by US fire fighting services. As for man power. US crews stack more people than needed to actually fight whenever there is a big fire like this because they use them to rotate in and out as well as rescue elements should something go wrong.

@@thejfrd2490 stupid comments? Before making a damn judgment I invite you to look at how Italian and European firefighters, including Russians, operate. they operate in even more dangerous and narrow contexts than in the USA, with much smaller teams. This is because the tactics are better as is the equipment. only the helmet you use in America would be rejected because it doesn't have an anti-flash visor, not to mention that to wear the gas mask you have to take off the helmet. simply unacceptable due to the danger it poses in risk areas. I believe that the stupid comments are very different, given that many American comments are criticizing the work of the Fire fighters in America on KZbin for the techniques that are still from the 1800s.

Why is it every time the guy says we're going to get aggressive they shut the fucking hoses off?

[@thejfrd2490]

Well first off...is the "F" word necessary Secondly...this fire was put out in fairly short order I would argue that we were aggressive with this

[@thejfrd2490]

@rivermcratt3683 "delicate?" Ha! Just shows how intelligently that you can express yourself.

[@ntcrawford722]

yea i know excatly how this started oh lets all say it together along with the FBI.......ARSON. #IGGA😂

[@thejfrd2490]

I am guessing you are wrong...middle of the day while the business was open...might want to think that again

[@mikeymcmikeface5599]

I don't understand who can laugh there.

[@thejfrd2490]

I think you are misinterpreting things...we all have our own way of dealing with things and humor is often one of them...this call was a fire and it was HOT, but no one was hurt and damage was minimal...some jokes back and forth are not the end of the world... sorry if that offends you!
