During our peak fall fire season we deal with 3-4 of these almost daily. We like it when they're in the wide open like this, 2-3 4x4 brush trucks and a tanker is all we usually use. But most of ours is usually on the side of a steep hillside where a billy goat can't get to so it's all hand crews lining it and backfiring.
Awesome job chief. See you have a lot of back seat drivers on how you should have done this or that. Well done, you put the fire out. Thank you to all your volunteers!
You need a little skid in your pickup during the fire season. 85-125 gallons. We all have them on our ranch pickups here in eastern Oregon. I have a 200 gallon on mine.
Get your truck in the burnt area. Then you can drive along the fire line and put the fire out. And in most cases the smoke will be blowing away from you. I have fought many brush fires that way.
you should look at getting some farmers with disks on tractors on call for these fires will help big time wish i was near when this happened i would have took a call and been there as fast as i could have for sure
Wow that's got to be one of the largest field fires I've ever seen on your channel Jason. good idea by the Bedford tanker just dropping their water on the edge of the fireline
Tow harrows behind the truck quicker a fire break quicker the fire would slow down and starve as the fuel has interrupted 5mtr fire break around the perimeter and that would slow the fire down Ex new zealand fire service here drag harrorrows be hind his truck to start fire break it works more you can piss around bigger the fire harder and presser on resources tankers should have front sprayers and the hit the paddock you be surprised how effective it is

STAY SAFE ALL!! LONG DAYS WORK.
Here in Toronto Canada I’ve heard about the tornados in Ky and neighbouring States. Prayers for residents and EMS.

Fantastic work sir😊😊😊😊
awesome idea with the tanker
Just out of curiosity. Why wasn’t the structures protected with the engines and the brush rigs get in the black and work the head of the fire?
That was done which is why we asked for additional engines

That was a quick decision made on scene, just because it doesn't pump doesn't mean it can't help stop the spread. Worked well.
@@JASON8502 yes a great idea it definitely slowed down the rate of spread
problem is with the angle of the truck you can't really see much except in the beginning
I do believe you were pissing in the wind with the water can
I learned my lesson pretty quickly
@@JASON8502 lol
What’s the siren at 1:27
Ambulance 🚑
@@rossnolan2883thank you
Is this in Wisconsin
Do you not have a dozer unit in the dept?
very few dept. have that
What does an acre cost there?
Nice work. Any idea what started it?
We were never able to find out. Our thoughts are possibly a hunter with a cigarette. We will never know for sure.
is this in the same area where you got chased by the tornado years ago the street/hwy name sound the same?
This is the start to it, about 9 miles down that road is where I found it.
@@JASON8502 thought so i watched that event several times being a spotter/chaser
Corn stubble fire; something city fire fighters never see.
I take it earning field isn’t common there?
tractor and a disc harrow would have worked also
We had one, you can see it in the video at some point
Did they manage to get that Jeep outta there? And yes that fire was spreading fast. I wanted to hop through the screen and grab a shovel and help
Not fighting it from the black?
We were fighting from everywhwere, the wind kept changing and we were trying to protect the subdivision next to it.
Did really want to use that water can
