- At around 2:45 pm on October 11th the Los Angeles County Fire Department received reports of a garbage truck on fire at the intersection of Gretta Ave & Mcwood St in 26s first due. Engine 26 arrived on scene to find a garbage truck with the contents inside of it on fire and Quint 118 followed right behind them a minute later. FireFighters from both rigs stretched multiple lines to try and contain this fire from spreading anymore. Once the garbage truck operator opened the hatch and dumped the contents firefighters had a quick knock down and both units clearing shortly after.
Probably the cleanest that truck has been in years
Who left their cigarette in the couch?
lol
Smart!
Now that's the way to put out that type of fire!
Dump that load out,hook up to the nearest hydrant and get it done,!
Those firefighters don't fool around...
They put a good portion of water 💦 on that burning load!
And OMG forgot to notice, only one little skinny fire hydrant to get water from?
WoW!
Quint? That’s a tiller!
Tiller quint
@@emt5330 Quint Tiller was my stage name when I was a male stripper in the 70s.
Quints have nozzles and pumps. Tillers don’t. And it is a Quint
Says "Quint 118" right on the truck. But yeah whatever.
@@inothome I like how this was a year ago
How pleased those homeowners must be that the fire department had to dump that mess in the street in front of their homes. I can only imagine the down-wind aroma that pile gave off....
I hope the homeowner who put the flammable item in the trash got to smell it.
@@THETRASH153 That isn't a curbside truck. It's a dumpster collector, hence all of the furniture and almost no bags. Probably just smells like burnt wood.
They should have left it on the street. For life with that crazy city. Any how you know they didn't and ir was cleaned up right away.
On Skid Row that pile of trash would be equivalent to the opening of a new furniture store.
Looks like cng tanks on the roof, as everyone just casually walks out side to watch the flaming garbage truck.
Yes sir that's exactly what they are
CNG tanks are the worst thing a fire can touch. One leak and BOOM they explode.
Am I tweaking or ' these types of fires `getting more frequent? Electronics/batteries to blame?
Exploding bongs. This is California.
@@RLTtizME 😂😂😂💯💯💯 WHERES THE LIE THOOOO 😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
Improper disposal of hazardous materials, i.e. paint cans, etc.
Oh boy, a garbage truck fire, nothing like a garage truck fire on a warm day…yummy…
How did the fire start
Rain down method. No sense shooting water over the fire.
If you wanted a free truck wash just say that 😂😂 all jokes
Yea make lame jokes
What caused the 🔥???🤔🤔🤔🤨🤨🤨
Car battery
Gas container
So who in charge of cleaning that up,
The trash company
@@Mr.G626 thanks
Yeah VVS is responsible for picking it up
Most trash companies has an incident response team or contract team that has a dump truck and front hoe that comes and picks it up usually called right after fire department is called
@@EricWhiteTheGamer cool thanks
That ladder truck will be useful for reaching the 6th floor of that garbage truck.
The ladder truck is deployed as it has has the extra personnel, plus the compartments are full of additional equipment, that may not be on the fire engine.
I thought it said quint
It does. And it is
Strange Quint. Looks like a hook and ladder with a driver on the rear.
Lol
Bin there, dumped that.
I see what you did.
If this is a cng truck there making a big mistake, the water is cooling the melt away safety devices which are meant to release the natural gas ticking time 💣, look at other videos to se what happens
If this is really the case, someone fucked up in the design of the overpressure valve. For the CNG forklifts we have at work the maneufateurs instruction is to cool the tanks.
Luckily it’s hard waste not general house rubbish
Took 3 minutes to finally make the decision to dump the load?? Should have done it immediately upon arrival.
I am sure that they had their reasons.
@@davidhelsem8794 Well I can tell you that if it was my truck the load would have been in the street before the FD showed up.
Why didn't you give them a call?
The garbage truck operator should have dumped the load once he realized it was on fire.
@@eriksand9262 probably not the best idea. Keeping a fire contained is always the best thing to do. If they dump a flaming hot pile of garbage into the middle of a residential street and the wind shifts either direction then you could have a house fire or harm to civilians on your hands.
The traditional "Horrible job" of being a garbage collector. Now updated to "Firemen who have to deal with the burning, smelly, heavy, dirt and poo and water soaked trash". No wonder chicks dig firemen.
The " Horrible job" would be the guys that have to clean up afterwards.
Foam. Deck gun.
I will put out fires with the hose, be in the Fire Engine and wear boots, pants, coat, SCBA mask, hood and helmet as a brave Firefighter someday
Good luck 👍

Trash trucks and moving truck fires suck
Think how many chemicals, plastics, etc., washed into local waterways and eventually the ocean through the storm sewer system. Not that I am blaming the firefighters or sanitation guys...though I will blame the fire truck for wasting water -- did you see how much was leaking out of the bottom? Worse than me after pizza night!
It is best to escort the trash truck to the local trash collection site and have them dump there. Fire is contained inside heavy metal container. I’ve done it in the past to the Puente Hills Landfill. Bad idea to dump this is a residential neighborhood. 🙄
Yes but you don’t know what’s in it, there could be something dangerous that could be hazardous of explosive that's why they kept it contained in the truck until fire got there and had some water on it.
That is the absolute worst thing that anybody would do because a fire at a landfill or at a transfer facility is one thing that nobody EVER wants to happen because landfill fires burn for days and they release a ton of extremely harmful stuff into the atmosphere. I highly doubt that you have any experience in the waste disposal business or any knowledge of trash truck fires , when a trash truck compactor box has a fire it needs to be immediately dumped and the fire needs to be extinguished right there cause letting it burn would only allow the fire to grow in size and the truck would be completely destroyed cause the hydraulics would eventually rupture and the fluid would ignite feeding the flames even more. The compactor box is not designed to contain a trash fire it's only intended to haul trash , and no driver would EVER take the truck to the landfill or a transfer facility and risk not only their life but also everybody else's along with the environment.
What?? Hope you are not a firefighter.
NO. Thanks for posting. Perhaps they could dump it in your front yard so that you could supervise.
@@josephbennett3482 agreed that's the dumbest comment I've ever seen.
