Hats off to you guys! I'm a civilian, and I've only been face-to-face with a grass-fire once. It was in dry, tall grass. Flames must've been ten or twenty or thirty feet high at the time. Three of us were trying to at least keep the fire away from my dad's railer with rakes and blankets and buckets, but we were losing. Some local firefighters showed up in a truck just like this one and had the thing contained in what felt like fifteen minutes. Saved our bacon.
@@trxtech3010 Why stop using it? It's a gesture of respect taking your hat off for someone but people don't wear the same type of hats nowadays and so it's now just a phrase.
Damn, I assume there are units at the head of the fire? You have a great driver btw. Yall are almost telepathic. I know how frustrating being on a booster can be
@@johnschaefer124 we wanted to start as far back at the fire as we could we were the closest station about a mile and a half to get to the fire and had trucks coming from 25 miles away to help as far as I'm concerned the person running the hose is pretty much in charge of the truck but he and I both work well together
These guys are obviosly experienced just the way they use the fan on the hose and use of the truck been there done that for 18 yrs great video to show the new guys for training!!!
Brush fires are the worst. They can relight multiple times, the wind carries that fire fast and far and it can be highly unpredictable. These guys are doing their best. The only thing I would say is they rushed a little the first time up the fire line. You have to soak ahead of the flaming front to stop it from gaining fresh fuel.
Very good work you know what you are doing, a old brush truck but with 2 good FF. That nozzle is giving you some work... and the wind is not giving you a break.
I know this is a volunteer dept. but if you guys could come up with a head set comms system between the driver and the firefighter, that would be extremely helpful in these situations. Great effort.
I am a former Fire Chief from New Jersey who spent 20 years in Colorado. While there I spent 10 years working and training as a wildland firefighter.I Enjoy your videos that show a much different way to fight fires. What type of equipment do you use? Water tank size, pump size?
I'm a Calif firefighter. Their equipment looks like a small pump with its' own engine, large tanks of several hundred gallons and minimal tools or accessories keeping weight down. Basic formula for large grassland areas.
We are actually looking to replace that truck it's an early 80s International 1,100 gallons with a 60 gallon a minute nozzle upfront also has an inch-and-a-half in the back
Great job. I know it's dangerous, but that looks like a fun assignment. Has anyone tried to use one of those water trucks that are used on construction sites, that have the big spray nozzles on the front and back? I wonder if you could just drive around the perimeter with the fan spray on. That would be cool if you could.
I felt like your driver was thinking about s’mores there for a little bit leaving you in the toaster there a little too long 😂 thanks for the hard work
About 3 years following ur channel, starting to think you need a better pump setup, or a second independent pump to run a high pressure smooth bore line.
@@JasmineLindros I found out after the fire I had about four fins on the nozzle broken which wasn't allowing me to have full stream I thought I had a plug-in the nozzle and kept trying to flush it but it would not flush either
@@nickwolter86 penetration into the wind, and duff, a 1inch forestry line with a 3/8th tip is how 75% of wild fires are dealt with in this country. Especially when you get into woods fires.
Great Job! Still makes me nervous when you are in the green with that hard of a blow. Is that a tender or what and how many gallons is it? Tough fire to fight.
@@jrockyhill perfect size. It would be nice to have a tender like that in our dept. We have 3 brush trucks and a 2500 gallon tender for wildland. Are you ever planning on showing off your fire department? I like rural departments compared to heavily funded cities and counties it really shows the rest if the world what we do on little or no budgets and still get the job done.
this may be a strange question but when you have to travel over terrain like this, if they could somehow make a brush rig like this but instead of having tires on it, they could somehow install Tank treads, would those make it easier to actually navigate terrain like this?
@@jaso5114 as big as this event was I knew we would probably be one of the only trucks there for a bit it was really hard to get to so I told our driver that we had to take it nice and slow and make sure we got everything out the first time used as little water as possible we did have a couple of Lights but we almost nailed the whole thing in one shot it was two and a half miles long
it can vary depending on setup and size of truck but can be between 1000-1500 gallons on some brush trucks some smaller and some larger too. just depends on the area of departments and again there setup ok.
Grass fire so suck with that high of winds. Great attack and video. Have you ever thought of doing videos of your different trucks you respond in and info about them and which are your favorites?
Makes me nervous seeing people fight fires without their scbas. Just watched my friends dad lose his life due to chemical burns in the lungs from fighting forest fires. Stay safe bro
@erik sand with the amount of waste and harmful materials getting into the environment these days I have no doubt that firefighters in the future might have wear SCBA while containing such fires
@erik sand Ladies and gentlemen! Here we have another sucker who doesn't use SCBA's, Because you don't fight vegetation/wildland fires with SCBA's. Say hello to your cancer lungs in a few years from me!
@@user-lb3db5qq5d At least there isn't nicotine in grass fire smoke. And you don't breathe it multiple times a day every day. I'm a firefighter that doesn't use an SCBA for a grass fire.... Plus usually the smoke isn't that bad. Just hold your breath through the thickest.
When and where is your anchor, flank and pinch. I know u all are jus volunteers so am I but no hating I know you don't have the time to train🎉 or funding for it but best of luck. If u get a chance go watch( its jus a grass fire) good job kicking but.
While your flowing water whip the line up and down and throw the water down the fire line. You’ll extinguish more fire and make your water last longer. My old chief taught me that.
RIP to all the fallen insects and bugs…. May we forever remember this tragedy and mark it on our calendars to never forget the memories of those bugs. I pray the Lord watches over all of the surviving family members that was able to make it out of the field. May they rest in peace and enjoy their new greener grass on the other side 🫡
It's probably because you're fire department has completely different terrain and a different style of doing things you probably wouldn't last a day on our department no one tactic works the same in different places
Man that looks like fun! (as long as nothing goes awry) Lot's of FF's can get fooled by those. I recall one where I had taken my coat off...if I did'nt have the line I would've been in rough shape. Stupid.

Riding on the bumper is a really good way to get killed brother. You can pull the booster inside and spray out the window if you guys don’t have spray bars
Protect infrastructure and let it burn the land will be better off .Arkansas burns fields all the time makes grass come in earlier and it gets rid of under growth around trees
Thing is, uncontrolled grass, fires, and fields that large. When its that dry, can get to Forest real quick, and will be a national forest service issue.

Some of your trucks do hard to wear with a helmet
Sadly, I kind of figured I would see a video from you with all the heavy wind we've had recently. We had gusts around 55 here in NEK the other day.
It was the same day we had Gusts 50 plus
Glad we had smoothbores when needed for high winds... 🙌

Found out after we were done that I had three or four fins on my nozzle broken

Great Job! Still makes me nervous when you are in the green with that hard of a blow. Is that a tender or what and how many gallons is it? Tough fire to fight.

Why not have a sprayer on the front of the truck, kind of like a cropduster sprayer.
Some fire trucks have a remote control nozzle in front. The driver can run the nozzle from the driver's seat.
