Don’t even mention the fact that the reason that story became so popular was because he went through that burning forest three times to pick up patients from the hospital he worked at to save their freaking lives
That's what I read up loads of times. Only mentions the 3 colleagues he was with and they got in a fire truck while he stayed in his. I know the news loves great stories so it doesnt make sense why they'd cut it out that he supposedly went through more than once to save people.
did you hear the fireman who did that? they were clearing a hospital and just loaded a lady who just gave birth into the firetruck and the truck couldn't move, the tires melted to the ground. so one of the firemen grabs a bulldozer and pushes the truck the entire way out of the fire. the bulldozer has no shielding so he was completely exposed aside from his suit which wasn't enough. from what i heard he was covered in third degree burns. but he saved the lives of countless people. may God bless his soul. i had a few friends that went down their to visit them right after the fire. some of the stories are just amazing. it was a retirement town so alot of the old people just pulled over to let the younger people go through and escape. they said they were old and already lived their lives but the young people still have a life in front of them. talk about selfless... some people claim to follow Jesus, these people lived Jesus.
@@HuntingWolf82 yup. I'm yet to. Find a news article like it. Promoting the tundra they love doing of course because toyota probably pays them. And they keep talking about how bad the fire is but never about how selfless people are. Just proves that they use all these fires for political purposes
No one ever mentions the bulldozer driver and that drives me insane. Both are great people but lets be real and think about the guy in the slow bulldozer.
John Folsted I think it was a big deal because not everybody would run into fire to try to save people, yes, just one side was burn but still that truck is totaled, an insurance could try not to pay him by saying he burn the truck on purpose
@@johnfolsted3508 Its not just nothing, it showed the heroic act of a kind citizen that risked his life to save others and trusted his truck to do good. Toyota USA also gave the owner a new truck and kept the burned truck to showcase the capabilities of their Tundras. And I bet you wouldn't have had the balls to do a few runs back into the fire like this guy did.
He actually hates on the Tundra for no reason, I think to make other viewers feel like he isnt bought by toyota. I think its dumb the way he compares the cost of fixing some parts of it given how long the tundra is able to run with no major problems
He should be thanking BFGoodrich for those tires not exploding in the heat !!! I own several trucks in my fleet and ALL of them run BF Goodrich tires !!
Hello, Toyota Team! I would like to extend praise to Toyota’s 2.2L engine. I have a 1998 Camry with a little over 270,000 miles on it. All I have ever done to this car is VERY basic maintenance. Regular oil changes, air filter, tires, etc. well about a week ago, I went to turn the key and nothing! What the...??? My precious baby never does this, so I ran through a mental checklist of everything that could be wrong. After 10 or so minutes of checking the basic stuff, I did a quick search and discovered the Camry has an anti-theft system built into the switch where I turn my key. Long story short, I discovered the car was not starting for me because the teeth on my 21 year old OEM key were so worn out that the car thought I was trying to steal it. I put the spare key with new teeth into the ignition and turned the key and she started up just like always! Toyota products are legendary!
Take care of your vehicle! It might be just a hunk of steel, wires and tires. But sometimes the car seams like it’s “living” and it will run longer and never give up. Your car or truck may save your life one day so take care of it and it will take care of you.
Wisely spoken. Actually my 1984 Cressida saved me from been robbed or kidnapped few years ago. That clunky car took me home safely. I understand why French president Charles De Gaullle felt gratitude towards the Citroën he was traveling when he suffered a killing attempt
The original top gear crew proved toyota trucks are indestructible. I.E. their how to kill a hilux special. Its the most remarkable testament of its durability.
An old Hilux i guess. Anyway, all Toyotas are well made, specially for american's specifications market. On international market, Hilux, SW4,rav4 and Land Cruiser are their best Cars.
Guy saves lives 5000 veiws. Guy buys new lawn mover 1000000000000000 views smh. I’m tryna grow my channel I understand I don’t get any veiws but he should have a lot more then this. F...k the truck. I would have done the same thing. Great job.
I think he kept it on top of getting a new one, I would've left it as is just to remind myself how lucky I was to make it out if I was in something like that
yeah, i went up there to Gatlinburg in 2017. there was this guy that we were talking to about the state. he had a cabin up on the great smokey mountains, and it was burnt to the ground, along with the others. people were trapped up there because burnt trees had fallen over the one way street, which was only wide enough for one car to pass. even showed us a few pictures of the mountains glowing from this haze in the distance. sky was lit orange. wildfires are a terrible thing, almost like hell on earth. they claim many innocent lives. no one should ever have to be burned alive.
I feel like his insurance was more than capable of handling this. A lot of people lost cars/trucks and other Toyotas too. But sadly they weren't talked about and didn't get a new one from toyota. He wasn't the only one saving lives that day
The story is he escaped once with his truck THEN WENT BACK into the fire to rescue coworkers and returned out safely again. His bravery to return o rescue them is why he got recognized
@@TheWolverine-rm2kr I love Chevy font get me wrong. But after 100k miles on alot ot trucks not all but on alot they get lifter tap. Plus the 4l60 and 4l80 transmission dont hold up like they should.
HolyGrail 95 that sounds more like a maintenance thing I work in a fleet of Chevy trucks 1500s and 2500s and 1997 to 2009 maintenance is key with that trans the vortec v8 line is bulletproof with 3-5000 mile oil changes we have several in the 300k range and they still run like new. I’m a Toyota dodge guy personally but you can’t go wrong with a Chevy.
Gese, that was a really big fire that spread from just a small camp fire! I never would have thought this could happen when camping! Be careful when making fire pits for smores, just look at this tragedy. Thank God it seems nobody was hurt.
I'm not trying to be disrespectful I'm just curious. Do you live outside of the US? If not, do you visit the State/National Parks much? I'm asking because the literature warning people about this exact thing is posted ALL OVER THE PLACE. I'n the famous words of Smokey the Bear, "Only YOU can prevent forest fires."
Yes i am doing okay luckly i had insurance house and vehicles are replaceable but a human life isnt im just glade me and my family and neighbors are safe
There’s nothing particularly special about that truck that kept it from burning down. It looks like it was only a few minutes from destruction. The only reason we know about this truck is because Toyota is cashing in on the story. I’m glad the guy got a new truck but it’s cheep advertising for Toyota.
In mexico ABC Guarderia burned killing 53 new born up to 3 year old kids. Staff members die as well... one man took his pick up truck and crash it to break concrete wall ... he did it in reverse so he did not damage the engine and make a hole ... he saved so many lives thats a true hero
They’ll put just about anything on the news these days. A man drives into a shop with half a truck melting off and burnt: “🚘” Staff members: “wwooww!! 🙌👏”. There’s better stuff that deserves to be on the news.
I really feel like this story is lacking some critical details. I feel like there is much more to be told and more people they can interview and thank. I hope there is a longer version of this story out there somewhere.
Is it just me or the damage isn't even that bad? There's thousands of cars/trucks with t-bone damage and roll overs that people walked away from thanks to the engineers, They don't go back to the plant to be unwrapped on camera and be given a new vehicle lol.
Well yeah thats true too but some of those do get bought back by manufactures to study. But they try to design vehicles to withstand those types of impacts, they dont usually focus on keeping the vehicle running through extremely hot enviroments. Thats why this certain truck is on showcase. He was confident enough in his vehicle to go back through the flames again to save people.
