- new castle fire dept located in ky. hosted a live propane tank fire with other fire dept in Henry County. we practiced putting out the fire and looks like one side had a little problem and a saftey line had to be used by a instructor.
Years ago we trained at night! it was great!
We responed in realtime in 2009😂😂
With a fire like this, it is extremely hard to put out. You have the spraying fuel, with usually no way to turn it off. These men did the right thing, no matter what, KEEP THE TANK COOL otherwise you will have a massive and deadly explosion. then find a way to control and extinguish the fire, and turn off the gas (if you can).
dude.. it's a training of course they "did the right thing" ... lmao
What you don't see is the guy holding the cut off valve. Those gas pipes are though the tank..so it's never pressurized.
I’d also argue the tank did the right thing too. Pressure relief valve blowing out the excess fuel and pressure instead of outright blowing up. (Usually the tank does this when it’s being heated up by another source).
That has to be the most well washed tank in the state

@Mahir Hussam yes he is but are you ??
Lmaoo 🤣 facts
the hotter steel gets the weaker it becomes. which then in turn explodes with LPG. cooling the tank allows for a controlled burn with out explosion.

Thxs for the information
This is to prevent a BLEVE!
Thank u i was like so how does this put it out?!
Nice.. if firefighters are able to reach the sight on time.
that's a good Training Exersize
Great job yall!!🇺🇸🚒💪

It’s better if you do it at night, hell of a show. That’s how we did ours
*insert propane propane from the trailer park boys clip*
I’m guessing they are trying to keep the thing cooled off? It makes sense to get the liquid gas to cool down in the tank
training for a real propane tank fire. cool the tank so it doesn't boil over.
Most rishky job.

Ohh....👍👌
@Nathaniel Capitano
.....
I bet that tank is real cool
Heck YEAH! BARBEQUE TIME!
Eu fiz esse treinamento de combate a incêndio, são duas fileiras de pessoas um faz o resfriamento a outra combate o 🔥 fogo muito Bom.
Why are they spraying water on the tank? Is it to warm it up and keep the pressure high? The release of pressure should make the tank frosty cold, no?
They are trying to keep the liquid propane from boiling. When it boils, it expands violently and the whole thing goes up in a ball of fire.
It doesn't expand violently as far as I understand. The explosion results from the tank wall rupturing with the tank still being under pressure. The fuel then explodes/burns in a large fire ball. The rupture is usually caused by weakening of the tank wall caused by heat from flames impinging onto the surface of the tank.
The pressure will vary with temperature, down to its atmospheric boiling point at -40 degF. The tank is made to withstand the pressure and keep it a liquid so it doesn't blow up in typical usage. Releasing that much pressure, the temperature will drop far below 32 degF, and the water will warm it back up, increasing the pressure. The flame seems to be several feet away from the tank, and separated by a cloud of extremely cold propane. I still don't understand the purpose of the water. Perhaps they're trying to put out the flame? However, they're spraying the tank, not the flame. Are they trying to keep the pressure in the tank up so the flame stays far away from the tank?
Many years ago a man committed suicide by driving full speed into a 30,000 gallon tank. It did not explode and instead he waked out climbed into the trunk and closed the lid. It burned for 24 hours and the FD simply kept spraying water on the tank. It was the safest way to prevent a massive fireball.
very nice
"uh, guys? You... missed..."
Very brave
Can't say I understand the strategy here. Obviously spraying lots of cold water on the hot tanks is good, but how is that improved by going closer and closer as opposed to increasing the danger to the firefighters if it blows?
John Argus by cooling the tank they are making the liquid inside cooler and not change over to gas. This will decrease pressure, cool the outside as well, and stop a potentially dangerous explosion from the gas that was made from the heat. Slowly walking towards it was to simulate it gradually cooling enough to turn a valve off to shut off the fire. Hope that made sense, btw I’m not a expert! I believe this is the best way to explain it.
John Argus just go on and give me a like for the video! Lol
Richard Jaehnigen what valve are you going to turn when the fire is out the top ? Of day the side that had a hole? You train the fire guys on basis of what diles to turn and what way I hope so
Moving earth this training simulation is for a LP delivery truck, they have multiple emergency shut off valves if I remember correctly. It has been 6 years since I’ve done this and I haven’t been very involved in trainings with my fire department. I think their is a valve behind the cab, under the truck, on the back by the hose reel, and that’s where we were going I think!
Richard Jaehnigen understandable in my if the fire is coming out of a hose is the only way that would work but you would have to get other sispific valve better off keeping it cool and moving everyone away let alone I'm extremely surprised someone hasnt come up with a fire supressed gel for them tankers yet to be honest
good job
Amazing how they design all gas tanks to not all out explode.
The tank is a prop and the gas lines are fed from another source. If enough flame is impinged directly on the tank, it can explode
I've seen a small one go critical and explode and damn that shockwave was supersonic. Obliterated a caravan.
Cool but what do the different color helmets mean?
Does the tank was empty ....ya they stop the fire
Let it burn out!
Nozzleman on the right seems to have a problem keeping his stream on the tank.
Firemen have BALLS, because I’d a been well behind those trees by now…probably running
je pense que cette exercice est comment se protéger et non comment éteindre la flamme. une flamme soufflée à 1 mètre de la buse ne présente aucun danger .il faut surtout pas l éteindre ,on veille à refroidir la citerne et la zone environnante puis on isole , si possible , l alimentation en propane et laisser le propane se consommer.
So you cool the tank first then spray the flames or just let it burn off while cooling the tank???
Cool it, you can't stop it you have to let it burn itself out.
BLEVE
Silender ur oil drum jalne k badd me jabb khalli ho jata hai .to usme gass bar jati a .je hi blast honne ki vajja hoti hai .isily gass tank ko garm ni honne diya .ager garm ho gya to blast pakka .

Spraying from the other side too.. if is possible. There is no reason to move forward when you only cool the tank.
By going from narrow stream to wide stream while walking up to the tank helps keep heat off the crew. The whole point is to simulate Turing the valve off on the tank to shut the fire off. Plus that is a cut away of a tank.
It's a drill !
The heat from that distance must be unimaginable.
This video is currently
Looked like a test. But I seen a field of tanks blow up in Colorado made a fire ball in the sky😵
That is scary!
Forget that. Training or not, I'm outta there.
can someone please explain to me why firefighters dont attempt putting out the flames on these tanks and only hit the tank itself?
to cool the tank, otherwise it would explode if it get too hot, ( hoter steal= weaker steal= explosion

Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion.. that’s why they cool the tank.
You have to cool the tank to prevent the vapours fro expanding and causing a catastrophic explosion
@@RichardJaehnigen to avoid BLEVE....That's the correct thing...
BLEVE means BOILING LIQUID EXPANSION VAPOUR EXPLOSION .....When a fire starts in LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GAS aka LPG ....THE FUEL is in liquid state....As the container gets fire the liquid fuel starts to boil...And vapour starts to build up inside the container....As more heat absorbed....Means....More exposed to fire,then the more more and vapour builds up and the pressure inside the container increases...If it sustains....The vapour make deformations in the container and reaches to a moment so that that the vapour fuel explodes through the weaker point of the container ....And explodes with high pressure... flame ...Heat...And bursting of the container...That's what BLEVE....THE boiling liquid first expands ....Produces vapour and then vapour explodes....Boiling liquid expansion vapour explosion....Ie,BLEVE. In this video the guys r trying to cool down the container so that the vapour build up can be controlled....And container can be cooled....
But most of the time if the flaming vent is at the top of the vessel then the chances of BLEVE is very less...still cooling is needed one...But if the vent is at the bottom...And it's getting ignited from there....Then flame itself make the heat source for boil the liquid fuel ....Just like a pan on a hot plate......And ends up in BLEVE faster....Anyway BLEVE is a disastrous situation...
This shit blows up like a bomb
Parabéns outra vez?
Bet the other side is hotter than heck
2018 👍
😊🙌🚙
Im shocked it didn't explode really.
Good training
That could have ended up a tragedy.
Call Hank Hill
*Training* 👍
It never happens like when you train
Real Life is UNPREDICTABLE.
Should have been at night 😜
Fini
Tank fires can happen to anybody at any time. Let's be careful out there!
What a dumb statement...
It’s venting.
Siapa yg tau gas nya di matiin.. klp gk di matiin tetep idup tu api..
И балони газ боша
Nice,,,,,excellent
what are they doing？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？
I believe that they're fighting a fire.
Cooling the tank to prevent an explosion
It's a simulation of a liquid fuel tank fire. They are pretending to cool the tank to prevent a bleve. In actual fact they are probably warming it as there is no fire impinging on the tank.

Cháy hết r lấy j cháy nữa chủ yếu là lm mát k cho nổ thôi
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
you need big balls for that!!! no doubt
Try it with a real tank
wow
No lo apagaron simplemente se acabó el combustible que llevaba adentro del cisterna :v
There mad
They are fail . now only empty container is there
This was a training exercise. The whole thing was planned.
Me on GTA
No BLEVE
All that water wasted for nothing. Didn't need any water. The tank was freezing cold from gas evaporation. This video just fools people who don't know any laws of thermodynamics.
BLEVE & they are doing the correct procedure.
STAGED
of course it is. it says right in the video info/description it was a fire dept training exercise
aww cool ....lets spray alot of water on the axles for nothing...
kevin voss at least they saved the tires!

Nope! Nasty teethe and skin.
Who and where? Lol
Fake
It is a training exercise, so no it is not an actual propane tank fire, but the purpose of the video is educational for other firefighters.
