Wildfire In Dublin! Foam Truck Responds With Deck Gun To Fight Fire 🔥

Several fire engines, a foam truck, a command vehicle and Firefighters respond to tackle a wildfire involving gorse in the Dublin Mountains of Ireland.
On the evening of Friday, April 29th 2022, Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB) sent 3 Pumps, 1 Foam & Environmental Unit and 1 District Officer to a gorse fire on the Dublin Mountains at Kellystown Road just off the M50. There's been no reported injuries as the fire continued to burn through the night and into Saturday with one crew from Rathfarnham keeping it in check.
The Foam & Environmental Unit, seen using it's deck gun to fight the fire, is housed at Tara Street Fire Station, Dublin Fire Brigade HQ.

This truck is like a armoured vehicle with a "big gun" at the back :))

[@CobraEmergency]

It's basically the fire truck equivalent of a police water cannon!

Wonder why there is no yellow box on the road outside the fire station doors , they are coming straight out into a traffic jam

[@CobraEmergency]

Yes it needs them here! This road gets heavy with traffic and lots of cars stop right outside the doors.

[@cm93431]

This station has a box on townsend Street the front of the station the foam tender comes out of the back bays on Pearce st so basically they can respond either side of the station which is a nice feature 😊

Thank you! Not sure why one didn't show up! The Air Corp were practicing water bombing a few days before hand, and are based nearby. But then I'm no incident expert!

@@oscarosullivan4513 They sure can! Would've been cool to see.

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

@@CobraEmergency yup! i TOTALLY agree with that..... Water bombing sounds COOL but i also think that it's very useful in situations like these wild fires...... but i guess that it mainly depends on the type of fire and how big the wild fire really is..... i mean if it's a small wild fire case (for example) like what we saw in the beginning when you guys went Live from the bridge and many other times that day, in Dublin and i remember that you did say that the chief said that the fire was contained (which was thanks to immediate response by the fire department) and after that live video i admit i decided to go to sleep......i don't think that it would have been needed..... but well if the Fire trucks were finding it hard to contain the wild fire, like in that US wild fire in 2020, i know that there were two wild fires in that year one in Oregon and the other in California that same year (i actually had to do a bit of background reading just now because i remembered that there was a fire that my brother had informed my parents had almost reached his area but i didn't remember which year that was and i don't like getting my facts and figures wrong), but anyway since my elder brother and his family live near the San Francisco Bay area, there was a forested place close by that he and his wife love to go on hikes along with their little daughter and actually that year that California wild fire actually touched a part of that area that year and actually that was the Largest California wild fire season in recorded history..... so in that case, those guys would have been real life savers....... but also it depends on the extent of the damage the wild fire has caused or how big the fire is (in terms of area the fire has covered and how far the fire has reached inside the forest) as well....... But i must admit that i am actually glad that the fire was actually contained....i wouldn't have wanted any lives or property being lost under any situation plus the wild life and the trees being lost!...... and i honestly hope i really didn't get my facts and figures wrong in the 2020 US wild fires, if i did please feel free to correct me!...... and Terribly sorry for such a long comment..... Gosh! i wish i could write short comments when i needed it like now, so now i am feeling grumpy, :-( .........

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

@BADBHOYS lol..... yup i agree! did you catch it when they premiered? because i missed it ...... but i got to see it later..... but i would say that that Fire truck with the Foam thing was pretty big...... and i also had this question last night which i didn't ask because it was already getting late for me so i didn't ask it......but i'll ask it now: How effective are these foam sprayers from the Foam and Environment Unit exactly? because i really like to know and get some knowledge in this little head of mine on these things since we don't see much of these wild fires in India (or the Southern Part of India, where i live)....and if there are any wildfires in India it would be in the WildLife sanctuaries which are mainly situated in the Northern part of India....

Hi cobra how long does it take you to film a video because I only see 1-3 emergency veichles every day? And I want to start videoing them

[@CobraEmergency]

Depends a lot on where one goes, and some days are just pure chance. Some days in a place like Dublin you might see 1 - 3 emergency vehicles in a minute then go hours without. Try busy roads where there is a fire, ambulance, garda/police station or hospital.

@@CobraEmergency so you mean to say that you had planed for a longer stay of filming emergency videos? good god! but either way i also hope that you can go back again to cork city as well some day....... it would be nice seeing that area as well...... and also if possible try and come to India (which is on another continent and also on the other side of the world for you guys) because one of my fellow Indian asked this in Hindi "Bro, India Fire Fighter ka video dalo" which if translated to English would just mean "Bro, Put some Indian Fire fighter video"..... and well since you know that i am from India as well, i replied to him in Hindi as well, (since i told you that i know to speak Hindi pretty fluently though i only speak it if i have no choice but to talk in my state language or national language and not in English) anyway i just told him in Hindi "Pahale unhen Bhaarat aane toh do, Bhaiya! ....... ve United Kingdom mein aadhaarit hain" which means "First they have to come to India brother!.....they are based in the United Kingdom" in English..... and also we only get wildfires mainly in the northern part of India like in Gujarat, Assam, Mizoram, Tripura, Andhra Pradesh, Manipur, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Odisha, Maharashtra, Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Himachal Pradesh.....so basically any where where there are Wild life reserves or wild life sanctuaries

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

@@oscarosullivan4513 sir i actually do a lot of back ground reading as well because i like to know a lot of things and it depends on the topic i am looking into..... and also i had known that some of the states in India mainly Gujarat could have wild fires because of our very hot Indian Summers and that's also during the droughts and when the grass in these wild life sanctuaries are more prone to wild fires..... but i actually forgot the other states in the Northern part of India since i mainly live in the Southern part of India and most of the forested area is now gone due to our urban areas developing...... actually there is a National park near my home called Bannerghatta Biological/National Park...... i used to go there when i was a kid with my cousins...... but that place is dangerous mainly during Safaris because the wild cats there actually have on occasion attacked the groups there so it's literally fenced off the road the vehicles that go on Safaris pass..... but regarding wild fires, that's pretty rare, because of unexpected rains in that region........ plus the North Eastern parts of India are also prone to sever land slides that can also end up destroying the already narrow roads that go through those areas making it difficult for fire fighters at times

[@oneboxer8329]

Dublin

[@robertrussell7388]

Is that a real shout or a training exercise

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

well it definitely is a real shout..... because no one would be crazy to just do this as training exercise at least in my personal opinion....... plus, that fire WAS pretty big for even a Training exercise...... which means that you have not seen CobraEmergency live when the day before yesterday (which would be 29th evening/night to 30th early morning) because they actually went live almost immediately when they were informed about the wildfire.......and even from the distance you could first see the smoke where the wildfire was and then within a few minutes you could see the flames and those flames were pretty big enough to actually be seen even from a distance..... and also while training or showing other people how the Fire departments work, they would just make sure that all the safety precautions are on hand and ready to use just in case the fire should go out of hand....and only when all the stuff needed to put out a small fire is ready will these guys show how to deal with a small fire before it has a chance to become a big wild fire...... so yeah, it's more likely to be a real shout and NOT a training exercise.....because the training exercises don't need the fire fighters to actually "have" a real fire going to actually start training......and yes this fire must have gone for a long time because the Foam and Environment Unit had gone to look into it as well ....... and when CobraEmergency went live from a bridge somewhere near by, we actually got to see the wild fire from a distance...... they even zoomed in on the area where we could just see the smoke at first, but then you actually could see some flames as well the were i guess larger than the trees..... but i think that you really should look at those videos.....

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

@@oscarosullivan4513 totally agree!...... thanks to them the fire was contained and eventually put out......... sadly i was just awake during the second time CobraEmergency video went live and that's when i went to sleep because it was around 2.20 am Indian Standard Time at my place plus i always get yelled at if i get up late (and by late i mean at 4.30 pm Indian Standard Time in the evening and my mum has come up with a very funny way of yelling at me and that's by saying "Good Morning Rebecca!" and well i know that she knows that it's in the evening, so yeah that's a very useful strategy) ..... but i did come back the next day to see this video as well, which actually made me realize how long the fire went on even after that last live i saw at 2.20 am and i must say, it really was a very good job by the Dublin Fire Brigade..... :-)
