The one minute clip on the $27 million dollar Fire-Boat? Maybe we'll see more about this boat in a video for fire-fighting planes and helicopters.

The personnel on the fireboats and rescue craft are the most modest people you'll meet, but when the need arises, they rush in while others leave the scene as fast as possible.

My father was LAFD firefighter in 50s,60s and 70s and he did work on a fireboat he was a enginer. When I was kid I got to go on the fireboat and see the engine room and how all the pumpers it awesome, it was great moments God Bless

Oxygen isn't flammable by itself, it makes other things ignite, and yes they use regular air because it has oxygen in it.

Actually most modern day large fireboats are designed by robert Allen naval architects in Vancouver BC ,Canada
@dbyers389716 күн бұрын
These mega-million dollar monstrosities are becoming a thing of the past. Small, extremely fast & lightweight aluminum or composite fireboats capable for pumping large volumes are becoming more prevalent. Easier to house or dock, simpler training & maintenance, & much lower in costs to purchase, operate, & repair. But, yes, Robt Allan Ltd designs the most fireboats of various sizes including for NYC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, LA, & LB.

Oxygen is an "oxidizer." While O2 isn't flammable, it's introduction into a fire creates an explosive increase in the burning process.

I wish people would get there act together. They are air packs with compressed air in the tank NOT oxygen same air everybody breaths but is compressed to 4500 PSI. Don t know why everybody thinks there is combustible oxygen in those tanks
@scottsasser77495 ай бұрын
Well, yeah, because they get access to water constantly. That's why they can put more water on a fire than a firecraft. Now what they need to do is all these fires that are on land they should send fire water trucks, so didn't it have a supply of water? Constantly and the hoses need to be up-to-date. They don't leak. They keep their fire truck so spotless and shiny, but they don't keep there. Hoses and good shape all the fittings. Have you ever seen it on TV? Look at the ground underneath the fire truck. Is it dry or is it wet if it's wet? Then it's leaking

Reminds me of "single propeller helicopter", "chinook propellers can clash each other", what is the actual price anyway? I heards a chance of swimmers as invasion, then if wrong info, colours looks like egypt or arab anyway? Fireengine supposed to be all red? Ships can install "own flood as water will drop to sea anyway". Unless this is like blackoil on sea and fire(if swimmers exist)? Or if just for fun thing might happen? Why is it written like that? $27m?
