Fascinating footage. I'm in Canada and we are experiencing bad fires burning now. I know that in the US, there are major fires burning also. Half of our country is on fire. On a sidenote, around 1989 or 1990, I was listening to scanner skip all the way from Kansas. No internet then so I had to listen to towns, County names, route numbers, etc... It was grass fire season around March, I remember one in particular that said that the fire by the railroad tracks started up again. Anyway, hopefully the weather changes in favor of the firefighters. More moisture wouldn't hurt. Cheers and be safe everyone.

Hah. Love that converted ARFF that they have. That makes quick work of it. Looks like an old Oshkosh.

Right! It’s an Oshkosh P-19 for sure. I sure didn’t expect to see that.

@@cdmartin194 I did some searching earlier and it’s shown in several photos on the Ellsworth FD Facebook page so I’m guessing it’s theirs. Ellsworth FD also has a really cool and unusual looking wildland tanker type rig built on an Oshkosh chassis too. It’s not like former airport rig, it’s more like an Army flatbed transport they had outfitted for firefighting.

@jrockyhill3 жыл бұрын
We had four squads three tankers I know Lincoln County had at least one Squad and I'm pretty sure Ellsworth had at least five or six trucks and as far as Personnel I don't have any idea honestly we could have done it with half the trucks but you just don't know

No,because a natural gas well didn't blow out and ignite! An underground natural gas transmission pipeline was punctured, and the natural gas violently ignited! To fix the problem, the gas distribution company has specially trained personnel to address the issue!

I’ve welded on and helped build pipelines my entire adult life. The problem is not the pipeline, it’s the people who own the pipeline. They do ZERO maintenance work and run them till this happens EVERYTIME. After the line blows down and the fire goes out they’ll dig it up spool in a pup fill and purge the line and business as usual. Till it blows again.
@bouffant-girl2 жыл бұрын
Someone may have been plowing, or ripping the ground and wasn't aware that a natural gas pipeline was buried just a few feet underground. When the ripper toorh,plow,etc.. hit the pipe,a hole was ripped in the pipeline. Natural gas then was released from the pipeline, and stain electricity/heat explosively ignited the gas. The person operating the machine is most likely seriously injured, or may have been killed. Always call 811 before you plow,, rip,or do any kind of digging where you may inadvertently contact underground utilities. Your life may depend on that 1 telephone call. By calling 811, utility companies will come to your location free of charge, determine whether any underground utility lines are present,and determine and mark the location of any underground utility lines for you free of charge!
