Screw all you Monday morning quarterbacks!!! These are all volunteer fire fighters! Instead of criticizing and second guessing these brave citizens you should be applauding them!!

Thay need loss of foam on this fire

It's great that they led off with a ground monitor, but they need to ditch the combination nozzle on it, it should have a straight tip so they have the reach to put out the fire. That combination nozzle just wasn't doing it.

Why did they not use foam spray?

Одним словом ОСЛЫ.

Those fire fighters were useful like politicians! Tripping, falling at the beginning, looking at it, walking around thinking where to start... it ran out of fuel at least..

WHY the fuck would you pull a 1 3/4" line on THAT??????? That's a 2 1/2" line MINIMUM!

I do not get it, I just don't get it, period !!! This county government can afford millions of dollars in firefighting apparatus, equipment, and other essentials for fighting fires within the county, but the county government cannot seem to afford a paid Fire Department. It just does not make any sense to me. Albeit, the county government in my opinion is selling the residential and business taxpayers short on their return for what they are paying taxes for, really short.

Apparently, they don't have a foam unit. All they're doing is filling up that containment area with water. The internal pressure was forcing diesel OUT of the system until the top separated. So many things done poorly here.

WOW! That is some serious flameage!

Much respect for these first responders

I am pretty sure I would fire one of those two. The possibility of a fire was high, the likely hood of gas having spilled in that accident was extremely high and they proceeded as if it was stone they where working around. Very reckless.

Why didnt they just use foam to put this incident out and save face instead of being stupid

Und wieder ein Beispiel der Unfähigkeit der U.S. Feuerwehr, allein schon die extreme Dauer bis zur Feuerbekämpfung und dann Wasser 🫣 !! Kein Schaum kein Pulver! Extreme Explosionsgefahr, keine eigensicherung! Inkompetenz pur!

And the city zoning should mandate more than one or two fire hose water access for fuel structures

You fire fighters need to get engineers to design a WIDE nose nossel for your firehoses

Awesome video, it says you can be contacted by the email in your bio, well there’s nothing there I suggest you get a link tree account and fix some of that or look at my bio and link for example, and why not add that you’re in Erie county Pennsylvania instead of I don’t know I bet there’s other Erie County’s out there

Shouldn’t foam be used 🤔 I’m just asking

It's a chemical fire you can't put it out with water you need foam

Well done to you Ff's, you guys done well, you used the resources available and with luck and determination you knocked it down. I'm assuming you guys were told the tank was empty, hence hand lines and it was good to see the vent valve worked.........again well done.

Training and pre-plan. Focus should have been on keeping the two tanks cools. (butane in front of the skid-steer and the large tank of whatever it was). Thoughts should have been around keeping both tanks cool until the butane tank burned itself out. I'm not sure why the one guy kept putting water on the driveway unless he was trying to keep it out of a drain. I realize rural departments don't always have the manpower to do everything. Planning and drilling on what they would do when this happened should have had more priority. It wasn't an if, it was a when. So they should have been ready. This could have been a lot worse if the large tank had ruptured. I am guessing it was a few thousand gallons of Diesel. Company should have followed proper rules for this size of tanks. Butane tank should not have been that close to the other tank. Both tanks should have had a moat around them, so the fire could be allowed to flow into the moat. Then you get to treat it like a pit fire with fog nozzles. In this case, the area around the tanks wasn't level which made fighting the fire much worse. I hope the company's insurance required them to upgrade the fuel station with proper moat and pre-piped fire protection. With what these guys had to work with, they did a pretty good job.

6:47 I can certainly see the logic of having three men on one hose and just one guy on the other.

Where is the foam ? Here in Quebec every fire truck has foam like in airport, it take 45 seconds to take out a car fire with a 1 inch hose and foam .

IDLH?

Gotta use foam !!! Would have it knocked within 5 min!!!

wheres the foam at? should have been foam on a liquid fire. heavy foam should have been used to knock the fire out quickly

Boy, the UA-cam firefighters are out in force today.

They are very lucky that the tank didn't explode violently.

I'm not sure where everyone is getting a fuel fire. I see used motor oil all over the ground. The oil storage tank and oil is what's burning.

I love American firefighters, as they never rush.

Foam boys, foam... Water is gonna cause a boil over in the tank and anything on the ground to spread

Why are they spraying a gas fire with water?

Why doesn't it have a fire suppression system? Water does shit on petroleum based fires. Why do you think they use FOAM on aircraft fires

God bless those men

Why are they not useing AFFF on this fuel fire

where's there foam application to contain this fire at least. And why not a ladder truck on the other entrance with foam.

That was a bad ass fire . Just a thought here with all the stuff going on in existence why can’t someone come up with a agent that can help in fires like this! Fires are not going to be going away but sadly going to get worse, there needs to something made , I remember when there were chicken parts used for plane fires but they stopped that , foam is used in some fires, maybe get a scholarship made up in this area if there isn’t any

💜🙏💜

Woefully inadequate planning, preparation, amd response.

Congratulations on pushing the fire right at the Giant fuel tank.

Not to sit by and be one of those arm chair critics but wow.......They were lucky no one was injured, cool the big tank !!!!!!!! and fight smaller fires at the same time, lucky that did not fully BLEVE, if you watch it multiple times it does overpressure and blow the top !!!!!!!!!!!!!! lucky

Lots of fog on multiple lines. That's how we used to do it and it worked quite well!

Thank you for caring about saving a life. The world needs more people like this. God bless you all.

FOAM IT N NEVER GET THIS CLOSE TO BURNING FUEL TANKS

Wow

I praise the firefighters for using what they had available.. What I find surprising was this Company operated without a solid Water source as in Hydrants or a Lake...

I think this was a case of "Let it burn, it will eventualy put itself out." And it did.

Where is the foam?
