[@thejfrd2490]

appreciate that

[@dianelandis9429]

Loved the video. No immediate emergencies or nasty fires. Careful, professional, and clear communications. A well done job was enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing. Best from Cleveland, Ohio USA 🇺🇸

Another great job by JFRD! 🚒👩‍🚒🇺🇸

[@thejfrd2490]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@andyhamilton8940]

Good job Chief!

[@thejfrd2490]

for sure

[@alanchandler254]

As a chemical storage facility, why does it not have its own hydrant network??

[@Steve-cu1ye]

I guess Florida doesn't have infrastructure

[@thejfrd2490]

Who said it didn't?

[@thejfrd2490]

@Steve-cu1ye none in the whole state...thanks for your input

[@alanchandler254]

I assume by the reply it does have its own network, I can only go on the video.

[@thejfrd2490]

@@alanchandler254 many people on here "assume" based on the video...the video does not tell the whole story

[@tinderbox218]

What's the purpose of that clamp thing they tightened down on the hose?

[@thejfrd2490]

It is a hose clamp...stops water that is charged from the hydrant without leaving someone at the hydrant waiting.

[@dannorris8591]

Bruce, what is going on down there?

[@thejfrd2490]

They had an asphalt fire

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

Wait!! Is that lady calling the Fire Department because she wants her “….ass felt”?!

[@thejfrd2490]

you hear what you want to hear.

[@jamesbulldogmiller]

nice work

[@thejfrd2490]

Thanks

[@alanchandler254]

At least i admit it. I was surprised, as i have designed fire hydrant systems for plants at various places around the world, so I do know what i am talking about.

[@thejfrd2490]

i do give you credit for admitting it
