Rainman14, another fine piece of work! Thank you again, and 👏👏👏 to foreground logistics for the fine job of moving the amount of water they needed to move! That boys and girls is what the 5" yellow supply hose does when there's a hydrant near by, now you see what that awesome big yellow snake brings to the fireground ! This is a awesome testament for professional fire companies that know how to work with each other, have the awesome experience equipment and apparatus and the training shows in this event!

@@Rainman14 Absolutely sir! It's a pleasure to watch these videos, believe me there are enough posted on here that shouldn't be posted due to the complete cluster ( well you know)? Thanks again Rainman14 and please keep your great work coming for us!
There are hydrants in the area, but with numerous heavy waterways in service, it taxed the mains and at one point, they were sucking the hydrant system dry.
they were running less than 3 miles down the road to the skippack creek. its a big water way. Our county does not have a lot of munincipalities with hydrant systems, so we have what is called the montgomery county tanker taskforce. In this fire, even neighboring counties responded as this was a shopping center that caught on fire.
@@iamReddington not when the intersection is under control of a traffic officer or when a emergency vehicle is going against your travel, actually only time it's legal to turn before a emergency vehicle is if you are in the way of said vehicle. Otherwise your at the mersey of traffic officers concent or yield the right of way.
@@gunnlover this fire was about 15 miles north of Philadelphia in Montgomery county. The Montgomery County Tanker Taskforce is an awesome piece of intricate coordination.
Jonas Surovec- Well, it is definitely not lost! I still hear it screaming down the street once in a while! I said "back" because back in 2014 was when the tanker vehicle was purchased.
wow what a rare vid. just tankers.like a compilation vid but all from 1 fire.never seen tankers alot.never seen a tanker truck in person as live in city. our rural areas have them. luv it.
We've had to do this for a commercial fire in a rural community when the water tower ran dry . It was kind of an awesome experience with all neighboring departments just trying to move water
Pierce makes some of the best and biggest trucks. I like them all. I like the wide variety of designs and sizes of the tankers. It’s the same in New York where I live.
Well done with the pictures and extremely well done to the crews all involved. Between traffic control and the rural water dump site and shuttle everything was well done.
My God do I love tankers!!! Tankers are my favourite piece of firefighting equipment!! Especially if they have Federal Qs. My department allows me to drive ONLY our tanker and I operate our jowls of life.
Being a former Kentucky firefighter myself, I know importance that Mutual Aid has, because of a fire in the Louisville (Kentucky) area at a place formerly known as TBA Inc. that was located on Grade Lane between Outer Loop, & Fern Valley Rd. down from the Ford Motor Company Louisville Truck Plant.
Having only driven commercial tankers, what is the difference between commercial and fire truck based tankers, and open tanked and square box tankers? I presume personal preference has something to do with it, i know the standing order at our hall is that it’ll be a cold day in hell before we have a commercial cab in our station, but out Lt. agrees that peterbilt’s do look great.
So I noticed a lot of the tankers doing water runs left and returned with their rear trap doors open. Never seen a department do that before. Interesting.
Rainman14 hydrants were taxed. Since they went defensive early on, more water was needed. That’s why they called out to other counties for more tankers.
i live in a rual area and my town has 2 tankers and we have a truck called the big dog and then we have like 3 other trucks a pickup and a off road vehicle then we have a old truck that is retired and used by the town as a work truck but we still use it for big fires mostly in fall for field and combine fires and we have a separate EMS squad and they have 4 ambulances
This video is a perfect example of a few things, a decent tanker shuttle, the need for mutual, and why a lot of people should not comment on fire videos or go back to fire school.
I guess I'm just surprised that in an area like that, it looks like they should have some hydrants, but even our area does but they suck, so it makes sense to run tankers too
Anybody wanna do the math & guess approximately how much water was transported via tanker shuttle? Lmao, that has to be the biggest shuttle operation I've ever seen, good stuff.
General info, I see tankers ranging from 1K gal, up to 3K+ gal. Some are toy tankers, some are pumper/tankers trying to cover all the bases. But the pure maxed out four axle tankers are the ones that make my mouth water. 11 yrs VFD
I'm not allowed to drive our tanker anymore we have a deuce and a half and at certain speed it's like being in a shaker I made the captain sick by the time we got to the scene but I'm always the one stuck driving the brush truck I guess because I'm the only one crazy enough to drive it in some of the places we have to get it in
This was a great video. Looks like the cops would shut the street down and detour traffic away from the fire scene. Don't know where this took place they may not be allowed to stop traffic
They could use some semi-tanker trucks. And who else is getting REALLY annoyed with the ever-increasing number of ads google is interrupting videos with?
I'm just curious, and this is a guess, but was the reason they had to transport water to the fire via truck because there weren't any hydrants nearby or was it because the hydrants were frozen? Either way, awesome teamwork between all the responding stations. This was cool.
Yes, tender task forces like this are used to fill up portable ponds where the first due pump from due to a lack of hydrants. The rotation of tenders allow for a steady supply of water.
Awesome video bro!!!!!!! I love all the tankers and your videos!!!!!! I’m glad you upload fire videos because I really enjoy watching all of them!!!!!!!! When you do another compilation could you do an all tanker responding compilation or an all chief/battalion responding compilation?????
I've seen at least 2 hydrants near the staging area so i would guess that not enough pressure and partially frozen hydrants are the issue. One of them is close enough that they could have run a supply line down to the staging area Edit:- There's a hydrant right next to where they are fighting the fire so i am more inclined to think a lack of pressure, especially as there were several ladder trucks there. Surprisingly not a hydrant at the fire station though? Ohh the powers of google earth!
why didn't they just close the whole road to non emergency vehicle traffic i mean there must be a lost more then one one in to the town but non the less an awesome video keep them coming
Interesting video. Was the fire in the shopping center across from Station 53? I live in the Portland area now, but this is my home area (Life Member, Collegeville Fire Co.)
12:24 Why does a fire truck have 'BORDER PATROL' on its windshield? It may have some in-house connotation, but it's a bit stupid to wear another (Federal) agency's title.
Do you all have to do this for three more fire it look like it'd be a whole lot simpler to get the water pipe in to make him going back and forth I'm glad you all have the truck to do this but I'm the worry about the fireman safety and your citizen safety I'm free somebody going to get hurt farman have enough trouble stay alive when they putting out the fire not doing this I'm just glad you all have the truck and the people to do this I think it'd be a whole lot simpler if you could just pipe it in keep up the good work please keep up the good work and look into doing something better before somebody get hurt love you all

Rainman14, awesome video. I don't think I've ever seen that many tankers at one scene. Lots of coordination to make it all work.
Sweet catch.
At 6:34 I love that rig with the Cali Spec steady burns in the Lightbar. Sharp looking rig.
Why is it, no matter where you go, as soon as people hear sirens and see warning lights their IQ drops by at least 50 points???

@@gunnlover this fire was about 15 miles north of Philadelphia in Montgomery county. The Montgomery County Tanker Taskforce is an awesome piece of intricate coordination.
That's one heck of a water supply operation. Salute!
BLACKMONGOOSE13 yea. The tanker sizes in my area are 1500-2000 gallon tankers.
I love the Northampton Township's Tanker 3, they just purchased that tanker in 2014 and it works great!
What happened to it?
@@HighOnLife1985 - They still have it at my local fire station. It is in the beginning of the video.
I think he was asking what happened to it because you said they got it BACK which makes it sound like they lost it for some reason.
Jonas Surovec- Well, it is definitely not lost! I still hear it screaming down the street once in a while! I said "back" because back in 2014 was when the tanker vehicle was purchased.

Perfect. Probably one of the best orchestrated op I've seen.
Great video man! Probably the best tanker video I’ve seen on UA-cam

Thanks man and when you come to Scranton go to Headquarters and Rescue 1 those are the stations you’ll get videos at
They run more than the others
That’s what I figured, thanks for the info!
Rainman14 No problem! Be sure to check out Dunmore too they are a career Department right next to Scranton
Awesome job! I wouldn’t be surprised to see some clips from this in water shuttle classes.

I love all of the various types of tankers, I wish my department could afford a new one, great video Rainman14.
Thank you! Hopefully you guys can get a new one soon, but don’t worry cause even some of the older tankers are nice!
John Ansley my department needs a new one too. We are replacing our 2nd engine which is younger than our heavy rescue. They’re messed up.

were there no fire hydrants near the fire ? love the video
There were but I’m not sure if they froze or just needed that much more water due to the size of the building.
Sometimes in big fires you can drain the town's water system so they call tankers in as an additional water supply to supplement the water system.

No hydrants, which is obvious. Why does this area not have any? Looks pretty urban.
There are hydrants but the system was drained of water from the large fire.

@@Rainman14 This is the same dude that hates your channel, why are you thanking him
2 rules for a tanker shuttle, rule 1 the tanker should NEVER have to shift into reverse. rule 2 the tanker driver should never have to leave the cab
they must have serious water issues every engine is double axel. I've never seen more tankers in my life
Chris Smith my dad says those 3000 gallon tankers on a fire truck cab are so hard to keep on the road, and that you need a CDL. What a load.
@@centralnewyorkresponses7887 however that’s not true
