One of Melbourne's biggest tyre fires that shut down Melbourne Airport for a few hours due to taking their fire retardant to help put out this raging fire.
Well, that's one way to get rid of old tires
It would also help to have the deck gun apply water at the base of the fire and not into the smoke.
It is pretty much impossible to put out tyre fires. What they were doing was putting water on the edge of the fire to prevent it from spreading to neighbouring properties.
Scary working in this place...
Gee good footage. Those tires are hard to put out. Fire fighters do great work.
The fire took two full days to put out completely. And yea, the Firefighters did a great job.
Just a suggestion for future fire videos: try to keep the video continuous and not cut out so much footage. It’s important to see as much of what happened as possible. Also, is there any more info you can give on this fire? are there issues with water supply in this area? I see quite a few pumper tankers and water tankers, so I would assume there is.
Yes you are right. Water issues. Had to tap into 2 mains nearly 1 k away. This video is a edited video. I have over 2 hours of continuous footage. and the aftermath. The fires started on one side of the yard and made it's way through to the other side of the yard. The fire crew were there just to try and contain the spread into neighboring properties. Once the tryes are on fire, they are pretty much impossible to put out. So they more or less let them burn themselves out. Once the fire reached the side yard. There were bales of fibre. The pert of the tyre that gives the sidewlls strength. A type of mesh belt from within the tyres. Due to a possible rapid spread of the bales. The heli tankers were called in. And you could see them towards the end dousing the bales. There were able to put them out and the fire was out. But deep within the burnt debris, the fire or embers continued to smolder. Hence why the firey's continued to pour water throughout the whole night.
ZokStar1 Further to my queries...
1)Do you know how the fire managed to spread as much as it did? (e.g. lack of water, wind etc...)
2)By any chance could you send me a copy of the full video? Solely for the purpose of my curiosity, no intention of re-uploading :)
Also forgive my ignorance as I don’t know much about tyres lol.
@@AJ-dv7hf Tyres burn at a tremendous temperature. Add wind, and it quickly turns into a raging inferno. The lack of water was a contributing factor in the initial beginning. But once a tyre fire starts. There is nothing you can do but let it burn itself out. The fire was a few years ago now, And I've currently moved into a new house. Most of my photographic equipment is in storage along with numerous hard drives. So for now I might not be able to pin point where to look as I have numerous boxes piled to the roof. I will try to find them and get back to you.
ZokStar1 Thanks for the reply. No rush :)
@@ZokStar1 I’d also be interested in getting a copy if times permits
Nastiest fires. we had a huge tire fire here in Buffalo, NY, USA in the mid 1970's, it burned for days, I remember my dad coming home and grabbing his bunker gear and he was gone for a day or 2 (was an auxiliary fireman).
Poor decisions, this is a Master stream operation, not a Handline operation? Where are the back hoes and loader to start removing those unburned tires?
woah, that's scary. 😣
eh...... a front- end loader to make a fire break. No brained!!!!
I presume they (the MFB) organised one but must’ve arrived too late...
@@AJ-dv7hf After the fire was put out a D9 Dozer turned up.
Those guys aren't paid enough to do that .
Tyres caught fire by my house
don’t put it on youtube, what ever you do hahahaha
Small fire at the start somehow escalated to quite a job, trying to piece together how this would’ve happened. Some sort of water issue? The MFB had a major factory fire in the 90s where they ran out in the middle of the fight, perhaps history does repeat
Once tyres ignite, they are really hard to put out. Not to mention, a mobile plant vehicle that was used to push the tyres up into a pile was responsible. An electrical problem occured which stalled the machine half way up the pile and the rest is history. Once the diesel tank melted and spilt diesel over the tyres. There was no time to do anything but evacuate the area and call the Fire Brigade.
@@ZokStar1 Cheers for the additional context. What I meant was, the MFB had water on both sides of pile, so unless they shut it off or the supply was interrupted, I’m not sure how else it would’ve involved the whole pile.
On a side note, did the machines and outside wall of the factory suffer any heat damage? I noted some water being applied to those objects, though they seem far enough away. PR factor maybe? or maybe I’m wrong
@@leadingfiremancross7211 Actually, the MFB had to connect to two different water connections roughly 1k away due to lack of water pressure on our site. And yes, the building did cop it. The timbers on the other side of the corrugated colourbond panels caught fire. the corner of the building needed to be completely replaced. And the main hydraulic machine also was destroyed by the intense heat.
Quick work there from the tyre factory staff, to use the tractor to move the tyres out of the fire zone
Yeah what tractor might you be referring to. The only tractor, or Manitou Telehandler which is used to load and push the tyres u could not be used because while pushing up the tyres in the first place. It stalled and caught fire while it was half way into a push up. NO OTHER tractors were available to do what you believe could have been done.
I think some one said ther was people inside
Hi and thanks for commenting. Fortunately, no one was hurt or injured in this fire. It started in the yard where the tyres were stacked up. Staff had ample time to evacuated the site and move to a safe distance.
Was it a junkyard
Lol. It might look like a scrap yard but in fact we recycle tyres, e waste and scrap metal. And anything else that might make a dollar.
it takes foam put that out
lol don't put it on youtube
And the USA is worried about going green in an effort to stop pollution when you have countries like this that allow tires to be stored in massive amounts and catch fire. Melbourne should have to pay billions and damages to other countries.
This tyre yard was miniscule compared to others around the world. Estimated to have around 100k tyres compared to others around the world which contain MIllions of tyres. This in comparison was a small BBQ compared to other tyre fires. ,
Wow ....for a paid fire service this is pathetic and these are the same people who pay out on volunteers,,, FRV your a joke
Are you implying paid and volunteer services should be held to different standards? This is MFB, by the way, if you aren’t able to read what’s written on the trucks.
Good to see the armchair brigade out in force.
Aidyn Gough There’s always at least one. Some people can’t think critically apparently....
How is this pathetic? They get paid because they’re on duty 24/7, something volunteers are not, therefor, if it was a volunteer response, there’s *no guarantee* they would’ve showed up with enough members, or even show up at all. Your beloved volunteers hide their failures from the public eye, and the news media turns you hostile toward career staff. Think for yourself. Before you call me a union hugger, is coming from someone who isn’t in either agency and lives in a CFA volunteer area in Melbourne
