- On location of a crash with vehicle fire on Schantz Rd between Hamilton and Cetronia in Lower Macungie Twp. Crews arrived to a minivan vs truck with both vehicles fully involved. No injuries were reported Schantz Rd will be closed an extended area of time…
Drone footage is on point as usual. Nice job!
Hope Everyone Got Out Safely !
drone only footage disconnects one from the experience, you need the sound. thats what ears are for, excluding some situations which this is not.
We actually are going to be working on adding radio traffic to calls for those that don’t like the quietness however the recordings from this incident were very bad
What the heck is going on lately? Soany fires, even here in Queens, NY
Looks like they are having a very difficult time putting it out.
That's because they used the wrong size hose...and the wrong tactics.
@@ffjsb They're using class B foam which is generally only piped into 1 3/4 quarters discharges. Additionally class B is typically 5 gallons on board as more departments would prefer a bigger class A tank. You can see constant reignition of flammable liquids and crews carrying more class B foam buckets to the scene. Please tell me how they used wrong tactics.
@@hihfty First off, read the label on most any kind of foam, it's not effective under about 35 degrees. Also, foam isn't useful for 3 dimensional fires, ie where fuel is actively flowing or spilling. They also should've been using those lines together, not bouncing around all over the place like they're playing Whach A Mole. They should use dry chem for the fuel fire under the car, straight streams will never put out that fire, it will burn out for lack of fuel first.
And BTW, the smallest on board foam tank I've ever seen is 20-25 gallons. And you can also pump both lines into a gated wye to one 21/2" line. But Pa. firefighters are among the lowest trained in the country, so I'm not surprised.
@@ffjsbSo every ARFF unit in the entire world is completely useless in the winter? Idk what kind of foam you're accustom to but that statement is flat out wrong and it can be used in actively flowing fires all though high rates of applications are needed. Generally i agree with you on most videos but this one isnt that bad. Not enough dry chem on every truck in the city to even touch this fire.
@@hihfty Don't get mad at me, read the label on the product. It's NOT wrong on many types of foam, because that's what it says. And I don't know where you learned this, but foam DOES NOT WORK on three dimensional fire, ie: flowing and spilling fuel. The BASIC mechanism of how it works is to form a layer that denies oxygen to the fuel, and that CANNOT be done on spilling fuel.
I only had a major in Fire Science.
Too much drone, not enough ground level footage
LOL...get your own camera.
What a freakin mess
Silent drone coverage**
Oh my God! I hope the people were able to escape! 😞
They did
What about putting the ladder up and just using it instead of a hose. You could get a lot more water on it a lot quicker.
With that much fire on arrival and no exposures, there's nothing to save, so you're just containing the incident. And, with vehicle fires, you still need hoselines to move around and get the hard-to-reach spots from different angles.
I understand what was trying to be asked about the aerial being set up above the scene and drowning it out. I had that same thought too. Just get the bucket over the fire, face the nozzle downward and open up. Still can have operating lines to go along with it. That's keeping it contained.@@brandonseyfried1251
J.C.......!
I know a lot about vehicles. In my estimation, both vehicles might be totaled.
