Nice job by the fire crews and officers. Started with water which puts out most car fires, that didn’t work. Quickly moved on to some in line foam/chem followed by regular foam which didn’t work. Foam is most useful on flammable liquids, which this clearly wasn’t. Finally succeeded with the dry chem extinguisher on the ev batteries. Good job getting the speedy dry down in front of the storm drain. Most rigs are only required to carry 1 dry chem extinguisher, fortunately they had enough units on site if they needed more dry chem extinguishers. FDNY has a dedicated purple k unit for electrical fires along with e bike and ev battery fires. Many local departments are starting to carry multiple dry chem extinguishers or contract with local fire extinguisher service companies to provide on scene delivery of larger quantities of these extinguishers when needed. Great video

For US fire fighters it's the fastest I have seen on KZbin. You must have been forgotten fire fighters in Europe; their trucks have a small fire hose at a reel. . .

[@robert20770]

Move the engine away because of the gas fire...that's a good idea! Three or four years ago the station just a few blocks from my house lost the engine at a commercial structure fire. The building was a few feet above the level of the parking lot, all of the sudden some tank of flammable liquid inside the building failed and the burning liquid came pouring out of a roll-up door that was open and they were flowing water into. I talked to one of the VFF who was there. He said, with no warning of any kind, this wave of burning liquid came pouring out the door and they just dropped the hose lines and ran for their life's. There was no hope of saving the engine. So, moving the engine so it's no longer downhill of a flammable liquid fire, good move.

[@kenmeinken8115]

I agree, i would not have parked my engine that close. Too close if the gas tank ruptures However, great job on getting water on the fire, about 24 seconds by my count.

[@luish777]

[@TheDrew2022]

I was wondering if that was an electric hybrid. Heard from a buddy the lithium battery packs in them are a b*tch to put out, if you can.

[@ronaldking2619]

I may be mistaken but when you use foam to smother the leaking gas, isn't it best to use a less forceful stream to prevent spread and disturbing the covering layer?

[@dubster4173]

@Portland Vlogger57 ummm yes it does.........

[@dubster4173]

@Portland Vlogger57 i realise that, somtimes you gotta be gentle laying down foam.

[@mike617]

@Portland Vlogger57 to aggressive of a stream with break the foam blanket and prevent it from doing its job, you want to roll it on and blanket all the fuel, any splashing just ruins what you already laid on

[@lightpawshird]

Problem with under belly fire is it's hard to get the water on it.

That was odd. Never seen one that hard to put out. Once the bit you can’t reach with the hose gets red hot it will alway light back up instantly. The scrapers roll a burning car over with a fork truck to get all access.

[@jeffbecker9809]

As soon as the truck stopped, men were in place and water was flowing. Great job.

[@RaimoLehtinen]

In many fire videos, the start of extinguishing is really slow. This is due to the fire hydrant system and its failure, or bad ways of working, long distances. Europe and the Nordic countries, fire trucks have large water tanks and extinguishing foam for car fires. This achieves fast action, which is important to prevent the spread of fire. For example, we extinguish a car fire with foam in tens of seconds ... minutes. Of course, there are also differences in car fires, they can be difficult depending on the size of the car etc. In the majority of car fires, we put them out very quickly. In America, the car fire is turned off three times and still it starts up again...🙂 Additional training, equipment development, they would be needed in many fire stations in America.

[@seato412b]

Good info thx.

Hey can u explain the London towers fires? Or at least short opion. Don't know why but I think u could do good youtube fire videos. Maybe even review and compare American vs European fire fighting. If I gave u a good idea would appreciate a look out or future advice for myself on fire stuff...

[@RaimoLehtinen]

@@seato412b In addition to the height, the worst problem with the fire in the London tower blocks was that the buildings were covered with easily flammable insulation board, which is why the fire spread explosively fast. The fire department that arrived on the scene was no longer able to prevent the fire from spreading. This would have been the worst nightmare for any fire department

They did a great job knocking out the fire with the attack line. Looks like they had 2 lines on the fire in no time. Personally I would not placed the apparatus so close to the fire.It also appeared that the firefighters were not masked up full PPE should be used. Years ago we were not so concerned by eating some smoke. Best to be sale and save the lungs.

[@MichealPorter]

Why are they standing at the car looking at it with a hose over their shoulder? Are they waiting to be told to put the fire out?

I own 5 cars and keep fire extinguishers in all of them. 1 is a beautiful 68 Mustang I've owned since 1977, and the other is a very nice 58 cadillac my parents bought in 1960.

This is crazy I have never seen this many fire fighters and equipment to a single car fire in the open. We send one engine and one medic to every car fire unless on the highway then two engines and a medic unit is dispatched. Hell we send two engines two medic units and one truck to residential structure fires unless its confirmed to be a working fire then you will get another engine and medic and sometimes another truck added to the call.

[@jimmccabe801]

So what.

[@ffjsb]

We NEVER send anything other than a single engine on a car fire. (as long as there are no exposures) Even when we only had 500 gallon tanks. I have yet to run out of tank water on anything up to a full sized van. But you should have more equipment on structure fires. We have 3 engines, 2 ladders, a heavy rescue, medic, and chief on basic structure fires. A working fire gets another engine, ladder, medic, chief, along with a safety officer, EMS supervisor, and the air supply truck.

[@ecw0647]

What would be the problem with just letting the gasoline burn itself out and the units stand by to prevent it spreading? Seems by using water or whatever, it just moves the fire and liquid into the sewer system and down the road. Clearly for the first 10 minutes everything they put on it just made it worse.

[@jimjamess8633]

Thinking the same thing!

[@michaelperkins739]

Because it would be burning for hours and more pollutants in the air, that could also have a spark to start something else on fire.

[@ritirons2726]

I was thinking the same thing. Take the same approach that would be used on a tank truck or even tank farms. It’s easier(and sometimes better) to just stand by and let it burn. All the resources are in place to protect the surroundings and the citizens. There are multiple engines, a quint, EMS, and law enforcement. If there is still gasoline draining from the vehicle after the fire is extinguished, it now creates a haz mat incident that needs to be controlled. Not to mention the potential for an unexpected ignition of the raw gasoline leaking and pooling in the area of the vehicle. Get all the appropriate water and foam lines in place and ready to go, secure a water supply, and stand by while it burns off.

[@ffjsb]

@@michaelperkins739 It WILL NOT burn for hours.

[@michaelperkins739]
