San Diegans create makeshift fire trucks

Some East County residents are taking up the fire fight by getting creative with their vehicles.

That's what I call resourceful. I wish the forestry division would develop a course for these people (they could call it a Fire Auxiliary Course) and an SOP for them to follow (especially interfacing with the main fire department). If they put lights and sirens and responded, unsolicited, to private property it could be a tricky legal proposition. These people shouldn't be dissuaded, they should be helped. Some states provide for FEPP (Federal Excess Personal Property) if you organize as a fire department.

They need a fire extinguisher like a water can or something water cans and go over 40 feet

[@christophermozeleski7149]

I just built one with a Honda wx15t pump and a 125 gallon tank. Mine is plumbed with 1 inch hose and a wildland nozzle.

You should get a few fire extinguishers like a water can they can go for 40 feet in one minute

[@dethmaul]

lmao the news guys accent. Doggone carnival barker up in here!

He should add at least, another 50' of 1-1/2 or 1-3/4 hose to that. 50' is not going to do a whole lot of good.

[@mbiraside]

Good job buddy.

[@bungalallyO]

Get the wet stuff on the hot stuff.
