Menstrie Motorhome Fire & Explosion, Resulting In House Fire !

No we would have stretch two 1 3/4 interior lines in less than 2 minutes been prepared to open the roof, setup positive pressure which would have helped keep the fire out of the building. Put an additional exposure line on the neighbors house. Cranked up the deck gun and knocked the RV fire out in 1 minute. No interior fire fighting at all in the video they let the fire breached the roof then dumped tons of water on the attic. Waste!. Oh yeah are all your lined rolled up we have 4 attack line skids mid ship a 5 inch supply line and 3 large attack lines equipped with small blitz water monitors and 2 1/2 fog or smooth bore nozzles. So to you who try to make fun of US tactics come ride with us we will show you how to do the job.

you couldn't be more wrong about U.S. firefighters. They're some of the best in the world. I've witnessed these firefighters firsthand, and they would put these Brits, to shame.

[@thegreatvincenzo8159]

Being a tad 'old school' my view of this is somewhat different. It was clear that the roof of the property was being affected by the vehicle fire and this could be seen by the crews on arrival. I've been retired now for 25 years but I would have had a BA crew up in the loft with a hosereel immediately after getting water on to that vehicle fire. This would have prevented fire spread in the structure and saved a whole lot of grief for the owners. I saw little point in setting up the ground monitor just to wash the roof along with the 3 other jets I counted. The fire was inside, not outside. Still, at least everyone got to wear a tabard. If that's how fires are approached these days and this is brigade policy then so be it. I'll go back to sleep. 😂😂

why didn't they send a crew in, is it too dangerous due to the roof collapse?

[@thegreatvincenzo8159]

@@BATCHFN Good question. Close coupled roof construction can be problematic in fires. Those spiked plates hammered in that join together the spars are an aluminium alloy. Aluminium melts at around 660°C, fires generally burn around 900°C to 1100°C so there is a probable/possible loss of stability. In the early stages of an incident, however, which this was, whilst it is a consideration, it shouldn't limit the Incident Commander's actions in mitigating the damage to the property.

[@BATCHFN]

i noticed the next door window smashes from the heat. it must be some heat from that distance then to do that.

[@BATCHFN]

ive watched a lot of these type of video's and i came up with the idea of a hoistable fire blanket that you could put between properties that could activate when there's a fire. i don't know if that's a good invention or not some day.

[@TheAverageYouCuber]

Great work by the guys at the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service. Our heart goes out to the residents that were caught up in this incident, thankfully nobody was understood to have been seriously injured or in need of any frontline medical care Steve. The explosion pops that you can hear in the background which was previously thought by some to be aerosol cannisters is actually that of solar lithium batteries exploding although at those temperatures inside the property anything that is combustible is potentially very much not immune to exploding. Although the extent of the damage to the roof & guttering is the least of anyones worries sadly not to mention the solar system and that's just for starters sadly. Really hope all concerned are fully insured, really sad watching someone's personal property being destroyed by fire although it could have been alot worse! 4:08 The fire fighter who is running to the end of driveway is gesturing to his colleague to increase the pressure of the water.

The worst fire fighters ever

[@MsGorteck]

I am glad I am not the only one thinking they delt with this fire wrong. In the states there are a great many departments that fight fires from the outside of the building. Indeed they are proud of this tactic. The departments that follow this philosophy tend to be suburban departments and on the more well to do side, income wise. They feel that the home owners have insurance for a reason, building new buildings is good for the economy and fewer firefighters get hurt fighting the fire on the outside of the building than on the inside. (I am certain that the cost savings in this has absolutely no impact on this policy.) There are also departments that lack the manpower to get aggressive with their firefighting, though this does not appear to be the case in this clip.

Not true at all it depends on the fire conditions and first arrival size up how long the fire has been burning how far the crews have to travel to get there and with how inconsiderate some idiots are whether or not they have to dodge traffic there are many factors to take into consideration sir. That and the fact that different departments have a different sop. If the building is indeed beyond saving then a defensive attack is used to stop the possible spread to other structures.

I think firetrucks should be equipped with truck mounted high pressure hose(s) under close to full pressure during the transit to the fire location and to full pressure and start spraying as soon as the truck comes to a halt at the scene. Every second counts. Too much time taken pulling the hoses out and turning the water on and start spraying. The water pressure on those hoses here is not enough, it was almost a weak trickle of water discharge. You got to spray with at least one or two hoses in a large diameter cone pattern under high pressure where water almost becomes atomized and saturates the air with moisture to cool down the entire local atmospheric area as well as the structures on fire to keep it from spreading to nearby structures. Other hoses can then be brought into action with more focussed and directed spray on the fire itself.

Right, and then people have the nerve to spout "pay attention American firefighters" what are we paying attention to? the fact that you let the house burn and did go inside.

The property was a total loss anyways and was compromised, they did the best thing and remained defensive protecting the other properties, can't send BA crews inside anyways as no one was trapped inside and the first floor and roof was a collapse risk, what they did was adequate enough to contain the fire

Hum well lets critic this. 1 not enough water on fire late to the fire with master streams and no interior fire attack or ppv ventilation. Lets also not forget the tender setup. We would have stretch two 1 3/4 interior lines in less than 2 minutes been prepared to open the roof, setup positive pressure which would have helped keep the fire out of the building. Put an additional exposure line on the neighbors house. Cranked up the deck gun and knocked the RV fire out in 1 minute. Oh yeah are all your lines rolled up we have 4 attack line skids mid ship a 5 inch supply line and 3 large attack lines equipped with small blitz water monitors and 2 1/2 fog or smooth bore nozzles. So come ride with us we will show you how to do the job and address your rig setup. .

Can someone explain the logic of not performing an aggressive interior fire attack as soon as it was obvious that the fire had extended into the structure? Instead of spraying water on the outside walls where it isn’t even hitting the fire?

[@cwmbc]

Looks like the motorhome was parked close to the door so obstructed accesz. Plus they didnt know how many gas cylinders were inside...too risky for firemen...

[@CymruEmergencyResponder]

Because the roof was already unstable. Never commit firefighters below a collapse risk.

[@dawnoakley1776]

Because i would answer that by making sure that the house was stable enough for these firefighters to enter the house. Common sense really!!

[@CDB8939]

The risk assessment would have made not to due to the Fire spread within the roof space which as you can see before the Fire Appliances arrived had taken hold. Firstly the Camper Van was close to the front door which would have prevented an early entry to the house, secondly the risk from the roof collapsing would have been too great, The weight of that roof would have been several tonnes. In the Uk we have have Safe systems of work and Health & Safety Policies we are required to follow.

[@swt2296]

Other than the other comments the exterior attack is being effective. As you can see in the video, the change in colour of smoke, change in pressure and punch out are all indicators that the defensive attack is working well. I think personally I wouldn’t make the decision to commit firefighters into that building to much risk of cylinders from the motorhome, risk of collapse and risk from the jets going into the building.

@@firevike2420 UK houses are not 100% timber/plastic like the US (brick/concrete blocks, concrete roof tiles) so don't generate vast amounts of radiated heat and fires are often confined to the room contents. Standard turn out to a house fire is 2 pumps. Aerial platforms only used on industrial and high rise fires. UK fire hydrants have 2.5 inch outlet (hydrant stand pipe, with double outlet, on rear fire engine door at 1:09). Stand pipe screws onto the below ground hydrant valve.

The title says 'Motorhome fire and explosion'. In the US that's an 'RV'. Unlike the US, the house isn't just wood/plastic.
