This may be the most punk rock thing on TH-cam.

We need a blurry, grainy vid of this, like some questionable UFO/bigfoot video

I didnt know I used to own an off road vehicle 😆

Did he lose the mountain bike?

whats that type of bike rack called?

Would have been faster to put the intake hose in the lake and pump water to ?

Just an observation. With that supply hose snaking all over the access road, how are other units and vehicles going to be able to come in to provide support? What about Ambulance access? I know that it is just a training exercise, but you have to train correctly to avoid problems when things get real. Should the hose layer be fitted with some sort of deployment arm to direct where the hose lays down? Did the layer have any more hose to get to the hydrant? Sweeping around those bends will take up more hose lengths. Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

No fire

Legend

Back in the 1990's I was on a forest fire crew. On one fire we laid out a 5000' mainline through the bush 'by hand' I guess you would say. (our hose was alot smaller than what the truck is laying out, around 2" if I remember correctly). We wore hose boxes on our backs like pac sacs and there were 4 or 5, 100' lengths in each box. They were loaded in a back and forth pattern and each hose was coupled to the next one. You would walk through the bush and the hose would pay out the back. When you ran out another guy was right behind you to hook his full box on to the end of your last hose. You then went back to the pump (this was where the helicopter dropped us and all our gear off) and got another box and headed back. At the end of the mainline we wye'd off and ran two hoses that ended up getting out to about 2500' each. A third hose was wye'd off one of these and ended up at about 1000'. Each hose had what we called a 'barrel nozzle' on the end and the entire set up was supplied by a single Wajax Mark 3 pump (the legendary 'Mark 3'). Laying out that mainline was by far the hardest I had ever worked on a fire. The entire thing was laid out going uphill as well. The water was from a creek and as one would suspect it was the low spot in the area. Fortunately we were an Initial Attack crew and didn't have to stay to the end of the fire once we got around it. The mop up guys got to roll all that (now wet and muddy) hose and pack it out of the bush. Poor bastards.

HEY purchase the fdny super pumper. 5500 gpms. GO BIG OR GO HOME.

why not draft from the existing water ponds ?

in what circumstance would this be even remotely practical? One pumper pumping through 4200' to a house that's already burned down to the ground. Just because it was a good 30 years ago before a hydrant system was installed. Does not mean its still practical.

Tenders and drop tanks over draining and reloading all that hose.

Good day to be on the truck.

Wasted all that time and hose in the street! For what? Lay to the closest bank and draft!! Hell with that hydrant! Back flush your pu.p later!

must say well done boys big hi to the hose packers

Now drain 4,200 gallons, clean, dry, and repack that hose. Doesn’t seem to be an efficient day of training.

Need to place a couple engines in series to pump that long of a lay...that is a knarly training

Why??

This would be a good shift to have your Kelly day .

4200' would require relay pumpers at least 2 to keep pressure up due to friction loss. The friction loss in a single 5-inch LDH is as follows1: 500 gpm - 2 psi per 100 feet. 600 gpm - 2.5 psi per 100 feet. 4200 ft ÷ 100= 42 x2.5 = 105psi loss for the ipumper at the fire the pressure needs to be 50 psi which means that the pumper at the hydrant needs to be pumped at 152 psi- the intake pressure from the hydrant

I would sure hate to be the poor souls who have to pick it back up and re-load it. with that much water and hose that rear end is overloaded. It should bve a tandem. Check that out and you will see.

I'm not sure what hurts more... 1) loading it 2) draining it 3) washing it after a fire

Unload 2.20 minutes load time 5 hours

this is impressive but my back hurts just watching all the hose come out of the truck

NEVER MIND PACKING, DRAINING ALL THAT HOSE BEFORE PACKING

Good stuff, tap that pond to with some relay pump trucks to

Friction loss

Plot twist: It's a dead plug. Also, oh my merciful god, the reload would take an insane amount of time.

This shit makes me want to buy a crown Vic 🤣

That has to suck to put back on the rig.

💪🏼كراون فكتوريا

Dude goes up that sits up there smokes a hog leg and rolls out. 🤣😂

Bro i get stuck in my marquis on my driveway when its icy. This guy is the real deal.

Crown Vic with open diff, lol.

Anyone that had been up there can tell you that most of the trail is a cake walk and the obstacles are optional or have bypasses. If he wants to impress me, he's going to have to get that thing up Pickle or hamburger hill.

Very nice!

And that's without a lift kit.

Just shows how unbelievably capable the Panther Platform is. Best ford ever produced.

Stuff like this is the reason the Crown Victoria is my favorite car of all time! Also, this is something Homer Simpson would do with his car.

Typical driveway in Australia

love that car things built like a truck a true tank on the road

Thats an open diff car to. Impressive

I’m sorry but there’s something that was supposed to be seen in this video

Reminds me of adventures we had in a rented Buick Regal.

Wow that is lot of hose lay

He could consider lifting this beauty up a bit so it doesnt scratch the bottom. But he's been doing just fine otherwise I'd assume.

Ford crown Victoria ❤️💯💪💪💪💪👑

Next time triple tap the hydrant.
