@@josephgrenier1796 There is a gas tank in the car that can leak and become very dangerous... right? It took a full 7 minutes before a single drop of water touched that car. That's Unacceptable.

Growing up in a family of firefighters, I’ve seen a lot of fires! However, the response time for this car fire is downright embarrassing! I can’t imagine if this were an incident requiring rescue!
As a former fireman when I went to car fires I got out of the truck got a line out got it charged and got the car fire under control nothing like this this is just complete laziness taking their sweet ass time
This is some sorry ass fire fighting. Hell, three people could have run to and from the gas station with cups of water and had this fire out long before the fire department got the 75 miles of hose stretched out. No excuses for this
Pathetic - I have seen this same situation in Europe where the fire trucks stops by the burning vehicle, a firefighter jumps out and has water on the fire before the truck has stopped rocking on its suspension from the sudden stop.
The sad thing in this incident is that the tow service actually arrived before water was ever placed in service and fire was being extinguished! Very sad!
I can't believe how long it took to put water on that fire. They should have went to the second engine way sooner. I would be embarrassed if I were them.
Man I am glad that’s not my house.Tank must be empty.When I was on the volunteer fire department in my town we had meetings couple times a week and trying and truck inspection every weekend.This was pretty sad.
most likely not an empty tank being they also did not run a hydrant line neither which was only 50 ft away so even then I am thinking AND it is rare that there was a pressure kink in the truck itself as you could hear one say water on no pressure or something close to something about no or 0 pressure.

@@joerioux7089 read the comment above about the truck not going into gear and rewatch the video when they had to use the second truck. Don't blame the people that had to work with the junk they were given.
If only the engineer could pump a truck. The Bat chief is there for command and as a safety officer he shouldn't have to help the crews. It's a little car fire! And over 7min to get water on it. Was the first truck broke
Looks like a training day for the unfortunate owner. Car was total loss anyway from full gas tank, but this was painful and amusing to watch. Took six minutes for water on target after arrival! 0:50 hose line unfurled; 02:00 'Captain' passes the uncharged nozzle; 04:45 line abandoned (never charged); 5:40 2nd resource line run out; 07:00 water on target. Crew never stayed on the upwind side when dousing to maintain their defensible space. Going downwind never was required as the car was toasted already. Always respond with a Halligan or pry tool in your [gloved] hand. You needed it for the hood/trunk. What happened to the 1st engine operation? No one filled the 3000L tank after last use? Or, no one has maintained the pump? Would've been faster and efficient to connect at... the hydrant across the street. Time wasted rolling and drying unused hoses and refilling the 2nd engine. No one standing by to pop the hood either. Learn to don turn-outs and Air-Pak enroute too. Vehicle fires are a class-B with hazardous output.
In the good old days we had booster lines. (That's 30 year's ago),pull it down the reel and you fighting the fire. How did we get to wear we are today?
I think it’s a matter of training when it comes to certain areas. I live in the Phoenix area at the moment, and recently I was driving where there happened to be a vehicle fire. The firefighters responding drove past where in an area where the smoke was visible, and like not even 5 minutes later as I drove past the car that was on fire, it was out. This video was like unbelievably long compared to what I witnessed. I’m sure that there’s some ting that goes in in the brain that the more times you respond the faster you become, and they definitely respond more in a city like Phoenix vs this rural area.
What was the point of calling the fire dept, the car was totally torched by the time they finally got water to it, ridiculous! Would not want that crew on duty when my house was on fire for f#ck sake!
as soon as the firefighters starts to extinguish the fire with water, or with water and the extra products which is added to that water in their fire hoses, the smoke almost immediately turns over from black to white .......
The engineer forgot to pull the air brake…. The Roto Ray and the white lights should go out when you pull the break, the truck won’t pump if the break hasn’t been pulled. I’m sure they blamed it on a “pump failure”
At 0:07, you can hear the driver pull the parking brake. Not all apparatus are wired to have the Mars light turn off when the brakes are applied and yes a truck can pump with the brakes not pulled. Either he didn't know what he was doing or it was a major pump failure. After 24 years as a firefighter and 21 as a Chief Engineer, I've seen it happen. Guys get the "Cookie eye" and forget the basics. Luckily, this didn't happen on a structure and hopefully the problem (driver or pump) was resolved.
Uk fire trucks carry about 600 gallons on board and a smaller line they can have attacking the fire in less than a minute from stopping whilst the other guys can set up a main connection to the truck if needed.
The light bar on that KME is not NFPA-compliant. Apparently, neither is its pump! At least it's a sharp-looking rig. Good thing the second-due company brought a Pierce.
It doesn't surprise me that the one truck had a failure. That happens at times. What surprises me is no one is taking the hydrant in case this turned out to be a more stubborn fire with a breached gas tank.
@@chuckman231 Yep, in most cases that would be okay. I have however personally seen vehicle fires that had a ruptured gas tank on arrival or it has ruptured during suppression activity. Depending on the amount of fuel in the tank, 1 or 2 tanks of water may be sufficient but at times, it may not.
Either an equipment malfunction or lack of training on how to use the equipment. Remember probably a volunteer crew with some training on equipment. They had a back-up truck.
After being on scene, it still took 3 unprepared fire trucks to put out quick car that a originally could of save something out the backseat and trunk.
I'm imagining that the first-due engine had a pump shift failure. I noticed the Roto-Ray still spinning and I know that many- but not all- apparatus are designed to turn that and other warning lights off when it is in neutral and/or if the parking brake is set. Perhaps that is where the failure occurred. Also seemed like the first-due had minimal manpower. I can't imagine that the long delay was intentional or due to poor training; firefighters want to fight fire, not watch it.
I’m not so sure, I’ve watched loads of these videos of USA firefighters...cars even houses, they do not put water on until hydrant supply made....very few use the on board tank for some reason....maybe this is how they train. .? Very different to U.K. and European brigades.
There was no need to rush, car was a total loss 30 seconds after the first flame was visible. Too many Wacker depts have fire up their ass and rush into things with out taking the proper precautions. Before I get nasty comments I have 51 years as a firefighter and I was with a very busy department. I'll admit they did take some time getting water on the fire but there was no reason to rush.
Were they planning on putting that thing out? well over 7:00 for water? Perhaps they should invest more in training or maintenance then fancy spinning lights for the engine
Fire departments need those water cannon trucks used in crowd control . Drive up , put water or foam on fire. put it out . The more fire videos I watch the less I think of their abilities to save a home .
Yes. It appears the first arriving Engine had a pump failure of some sort (that’s why you did not see water in the yellow hose). It’s pointless to connect to a hydrant if the pump is non-operational. The 2nd Engine was moved up (too close, IMO), the hose deployed and water discharged and on the fire in 1:45 … still too slow. I’m certain this wasn’t planned. Same thing happened to me at a house fire, 10 years ago. 1st and 2nd Engines failed. We had to rely on the 3rd due Engine for water. It’s a pretty helpless feeling when it happens … as you know from watching this video. Too much heat for fire extinguishers to work effectively. Only water would extinguish a fire of this intensity. But, imagine if it was your car, or your crew, or your fire Engine. 40 years on the job. I know the feeling. But still, this video demonstrates the need for training.
@@CR-zh8xj I watched the firemen get into place and they waited for the nod from the chief who was off to my right off camera for when to start spraying
so this was strange to me the initial truck must have had a line kink or something internally for them to have the backup /secondary pull a line out. interesting
7:50 in video there is another TH-cam video of a burning car that shows once you let it get so hot it is impossible to put out because of fluids and plastics (it is a video of a SUV in a used car lot I think in the Midwest)
Massachusetts is becoming ''Paramedics with Bunker gear'' departments... All we really do is medicals around here..So this stuff doesn't happen a lot at this dept.
I understand a car fire is fuel and plastic not a good thing to put out with water but is was called in that way from the start / water first could have helped till proper foam carrying truck comes in
I've watched more than 200 videos of fires and firefighters' work from dozens of countries around the world, and I'm getting more and more perplexed by the work of American firefighters, without a doubt, by far, the slowest and worst firefighters in the world. It seems like a cultural pattern of behavior, because the videos show their work in different cities across the country , years apart, and it's always the same behavior. The profound incompetence, slowness and negligence of firefighters and their commanders in firefighting seems cultural. There seems to be a higher order in every Fire Department of the country that says: let's wait until the maximum amount of assets affected (cars, houses, etc.) is burned and destroyed, before we start throwing water. This is absolutely amazing. The behavior of the American firefighters is almost criminal.
I agree to a certain extent , and it seems to be the big city departments, but quite often you will find volunteer FD 's who are very quick. It just depends on the organization.
As an American firefighter with both career and volunteer service I definitely agree with you however, there are alot of departments that firefight very aggressively with tactical awareneess but it is sporadic. Overall, the US fire service has very little oversight. In my state, all you need is a pulse and they put you in fire gear and give you million $ equipment. There needs to be a nationwide standard on quality and training and turn those away who aren't up for the job...
so the first responders yellow hoses out? no water..wtf..second truck in black hoses ..water...tell me what wrong with this picture, with this said the car is already gone hell it was gone with the first tanker, problem why didn't first tanker do anything at all didn't even use hand held exstingqushers??

It took too long to put water on this fire.
The time to getting water on it is ridiculous. Engine 51 (Emergency!) would have water on it, right away! Reel line!

Less to clean-up.

He's playing pocket pool

Shit happens you can check your truck in the morning and be fine and a hour later it could not be working.
most likely not an empty tank being they also did not run a hydrant line neither which was only 50 ft away so even then I am thinking AND it is rare that there was a pressure kink in the truck itself as you could hear one say water on no pressure or something close to something about no or 0 pressure.

'We need to save water...if we let it burn down a bit more we won't need so much water to put it out'
Carry an extra fire extinguisher, apparently million dollar fire trucks fail. I had a car fire once and fortunately I had a box of baking soda handy.
"OMG" What a cluster F...K!!!! Well at least they saved the rear tires.
Might as well have just let it burn itself out at that point.
Of course the primary engine had a failure, it's a KME after all 🤷🏼♂️
It’s not like they had any chance of saving the car but dang, I could have peed that fire out faster. 😂
Do not blame fire engineers if Fire Battalion Chief will not HELP. Chief it is time for you to RETIRE!!

Mechanical issues

Probably not.
Mighty casual fire ya got there

First due engine had a pump failure that's why the second due engine had to put out the fire
I didn't know the Keystone Cops had a fire department........
How many fire trucks does it take to put out a single car fire?
One & one for back-up, incase of equipment malfuction.
I think they need a pump class
here in the netherlands they have in 30 seconds water on it when they arive
7 mins to get water on the fire totally unacceptable!!! Wtf were they doing
In the UK it would have water on it in less than thirty seconds. 🇬🇧👍

The last I checked it was our mission statement to save lives AND property? Just saying
They took way too long to deploy and charge that hose line...... and why??
Looks like there was a problem on the first engine. The second engine ended up having to charge the line.
Where is the Leadership and urgency to put this out? If first engine not broke, then that engine needs a new Officer.
If i was that chief i would have rolled 2 rolls of 1.75 off that hydrant and said give me that nozzle dummy.
what we have here folks is a very crispy critter :)
Will they ever start to extinguish that fire? Don’t count on those fire fighters to save anything from burning.
