Reading the comments, everyone seems to forget that this is a good way for recruits and retained firefighters to train on a live fire and practice their skills.
Fun fact about these structures. There were several hundred of them build almost the exact way across that region of the country. They'd literally come in as kits to be put up from the railroad. So the dynamics of how they burn and collapse was pretty well known and its almost a milk-run to baby sit one as it burns down by the time this one was taken.
If their intent was to burn it down, I would have thought they'd want more water on adjacent buildings, and less on the building they're TRYING to destroy...
@@martinkennard1669 OK how do you know? Fact is a structure in Buffalo New York was dismantled saving 9 million board feet of lumber. Also another term is stackwood construction. I've built this way
@jeff bybee I worked on building two in 1967. Right out of high school, 164 ft. high. Replacing ones that burned down. Not far from the burning one in the post. SIdney and Havre, MT. Nothing but 2x6s and 2x4s laid flat. Steel beams over the truck passage. I'm not saying old 1800 structures didn't have wood beams. We would make beams out of 2x6s stacked. All corners were tied together with diagnol cribbed in bracing every 4 feet. Boxcar loads of lumber. Amazing structures. Now replaced by 100 grain car terminals. Back then, they were spaced along a railroad at the distance a horse drawn grain wagon could haul in a day.
they were all very very toxic, that thing was build long before "environmentalism" was a term and since it wasn't a public structure they could use any old "DANGER: WILL GIVE YOUR DEAD GRANDMA CANCER!" chemical they wanted to.
@@clairestaffieri4398 It’s the disposable world we live in. Our culture teaches us it’s easier to destroy than preserve but it’s also part of the dictum that to get what you want you must leave something behind. In this case I think what is wanted is a “blooded” fire department that is better prepared for disasters and what is left behind is pretty obvious. I’m a railroad guy and what this is to me is another nail in the coffin of an historic and useful transportation system and we will rue the day we burned it to the ground.
All the highly toxic, stained, poison riddled and cancer causing chemical filled rat-piss-covered mildewed rough hewn rusty warped trash that they _would_ have had to spend months tearing down with diesel powered equipment and had to have had the fire department on standby with engines running all day every day to have recovered what... $30,000 in lumber? Most the wood in that structure was garbage when it was put up.
What impressed me was the amount of water they were able to put on the fire. Water pressure in the area probably dropped a bit. I saw some tankers in the parade at the beginning, but a fire truck can empty a tanker in minutes.
If you a good with a tender "tanker" task force operation there can be a contant flow of 2000 gallons a minute for a big fire with a proper draft site and enough rigs
With all the pumper trucks at the start my guess is they pumped water out of the Cedar River rather than using drinking water. the river runs fairly close by the site.
I have an important training statement to make but first of all I should allow you all know that I’m a highly educated expert in the science of firefighting, if I had to rate myself I’d say I’m in the top .01% of other experts, although none of them are most likely as high of an expert as I am.

Now for the important training statement for the fire fighters to learn from me. It important to be careful when fighting fires. Please feel free to seek my advice or the advice of the 1000’s of other UA-cam watchers who are also now expert fire fighters such as myself but none as expert as myself.
@@allenincascadia3100 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you! Nothing made me feel better than to know an expert of your caliber was watching this too. As a nation we all feel better and are eternally in your debt!! A lesser man
For all those that complain about the waste, start your own company and buy these structures and make your millions. Or maybe it doesn’t work that way.
heh, if you tried to sell lumber from one of these you could end up in Federal prison... there are chemicals in that wood that chemists can't even legally buy anymore.
toxic, poisonous, dangerous, splintery, weathered and shattered old wood that would have required the fire department be on hand every day for a month to tear down. The wood wasn't a loss and wasn't beautiful. They used the kind of wood you wouldn't use for pig pen to build these all over the country. All that wood pre-dated the environmental movement and could probably sterilize a small lake if they'd soaked it in it.
Good Solid wood wasted. I think one reason modern wooden products are not as reliable as these types of old wood pollution? If this was a new house that fire would have lasted about 15 mins tops.
unbelievably toxic poisonous wood that was pressure treated with chemicals before the term "environmentalism" was invented. None of that wood was re-useable and the structure was so toxic it wouldn't be safe to demolish either. If they HAD demolished it they'd have just taken it somewhere else to burn. It would have taken about a month and would have required the fire department stand-by with a running truck all day every day.
for those who know what they are looking at good god this was fascinating, i was thinking are they really going to fold this thing on itself ? well done fellas , and i really dig the live abstract art rendition of the second death star half way through , now you guys are just showing off !
I love a good parade of firetrucks. I actually saw a Mack truck which I haven't seen in years. Living in the Uk I wouldn't expect to now but even when I was back home to visit Mack seemed a rare breed
A giant pile of toxic wood that was going to have to be burned anyway and would have needed the fire department on hand all day every day just to tear down to begin with.
Seems like a weird way to take down an industrial building a high reach shears would have parted that out in a day. Little diesel burnt x 25 trucks, wood possibly reusable, no environmental cost. Huge risk to life and property for what outcome?
Who is going to pick up all the nails? Good team work by all the departments. Would like to see a video of the preplanning that went into the actual event.
just con a bunch of amateur metal detector enthusiasts to do it , tell them its an old gold processing plant and tell them they can keep what they find as payment then you can just pay them in scrap iron !
These were built in almost every other county across a major portion of the US from kits delivered by the railroad - there's a play-book for burning them down that's been around since before "web site" was ever a term.
no, they're all dead from all the pesticides, poisons, tracking compounds, wafarin and other toxic materials sprayed all over the building. That's why it had to be burned.
@@prjndigo I work at an old 1950's Era grain mill it looks just like that one. There's extreme EPA and FDA rules that prohibit us from using any type of chemical pesticides, rat poison and or anything in that category. It's an endless battle to keep rodents at bay. And the timbers that make up the structure are all rough cut hardwood lumber that was made frome a local sawyer that is no longer around.
When the wood framing inside burns completely, won't the metal building come crashing down (on the men standing outside of it at the bottom? I have witnessed terrible things happen at fires, whether a controlled burn or a REAL fire.
its a metal clad wood building, you can see the horizontal wood on the sides after the sheeting comes off. The fireguys are wearing stuff that is close to level II bulletproof.
super multi-toxic stuff... that wasn't a residence or a public house (like a bar, grocery, bank, hotel) so they were allowed to use things that'd give mushrooms cancer to keep the rats, pidgeons, mice, mold, mildew out
This would have been unbelievable if it still flour or sugar dust residue in it or contained slightly fermented fodder residue. Not that this fire isn't quite awesome and is certainly something you don't see every day.
any particular reason they didn't choose controlled demolition? Hard to tell from the video, but it looks like the building on the right has sufficient distance to be safe?
2022, today the environment and climate change in mind is better to reuse the wood and save the environment by shooting so much co2 / carbon into the air. the wood could be put to good use for the restoration of old buildings.
You do realize that this burn is less than a bubble to the earth... It does 1000x more damage to itself when a volcano erupts... The leftist media has you all so concerned with global warming... Humans haven't hurt the earth. The earth has been warming for millions of years. Since the ice age... How do you think the ice melted in the 1st place. The earth goes through cycles of warmer and colder temps. It's normal
this wood is so toxic it could give your dead grandmother cancer, if it had been torn down it'd still have been burned somewhere else - none of the wood could legally have been reclaimed and sold-on. it all came from an era where "environmentalism" hadn't entered the dictionary
More pollution more global destruction. It's not really controlled burning in an energy efficient sense. Old timers like me would have appreciated a few tons of wood chips for our 85% efficient high quality US stoves. The Europeans are buying acres of North American trees for their power stations. If you think I'm a cracked pot look up Train Loads of Wood Chips for Drax Power Station in UK. We humans are nuts. All that energy wasted. Modern steam boilers are much cleaner than this. Even the water here is going to be a pollutant. I don't understand all the congratulatory comments. I used to idealise US values, now I'm reconsidering. Thanks for reading this, kind regards.
It was saving a month of diesel exhaust from machinery and stand-by firetrucks just to transport all the toxic wood to another location to burn it anyway.
I hope that one day the greed for profit will take your breath away. It is irresponsible to pollute the environment by burning hazardous substances. But that doesn't seem to matter to you Americans at all.
I understand that this was a controlled burn and all, but you have no idea how this fire is going to act or do what you want. Those guys on the handline in the middle are way to close to that structure and may not have the time to get out of the way if it decides to collapse.
there were more than a hundred of these specific buildings that have been controlled burned down, there's a play-book for it that even tells you where to station firemen.
@@prjndigo Yep and every fire goes exactly as planned. Clearly you're not a fireman or if you are you should probably receive some additional training.
Ok would someone please explain to me WHY they are putting 6 hose lines of water on the grain elevator they are wanting to burn down. I can see why they would want to keep the surrounding buildings wet so they don't unintentionally catch fire.But if the goal is to burn down the old elevator for training why put water on the grain elevator. Seems to me. You would keep the surrounding areas and buildings wet. And study how the elevator burns down. Watch how the fire behaves. Watch where and how the fire consumes the building. And make little mental notes. That way when the fire fighter is on the job in a real fire. If he see's the fire behave in a way they have seen before they can react quicker. Just some random thoughts
keep the fire low so it don't catch on to the other structures have you ever been too hot standing by a campfire? same idea if you did not move away you would burn
I would think that there are variables such as wind strength and direction, that would ruin the idea that one size of grain tower, fits all when it comes to learning lessons..
to control the rate of the burn to keep it from throwing burning embers or collapsing to the side and not burning up completely... several hundred of the exact same building were build all over a region of the US and there's an actual "burn down play-book" for taking them down
I suppose it looks good having appliance after appliance attend, but in a real life situation, a fire department is unlikely to have that many appliances able to attend.
The building is huge and I think units from other towns came to learn how to use some of the equipment and get some practice on big fires , Most buildings in these towns are two and three stories tall.
You forgot to phrase the beginning of your answer with, "What is...." Sorry folks, that's all the time we have today for.... BURN. THAT. BARN! Stay tuned for next week when one of our lucky contestants sets torch an old airship hangar! So long!!! (Chip Duffy's wardrobe provided by Joe Rogan Polyester Casuals)
Waste of time. Waste of manpower. Waste of water. Waste of salvageable and recyclable building materials. Unnecessary emissions. Unnecessary risk to firefighters. Unnecessary risk to adjacent structures. All because they were too cheap to pay some real pros to bring it down.
What a shame and a waste of a historic building, just burning it down to build some ugly eyesore. Maybe flats and that's more pressure on the water system.This should have been listed.
Why do you think that you have to burn it down and polluting the air ? Men built it , just dismantle it the same way 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏻♂️ Just because you wear a badge doesn't give you a right to create pollution 👎
Reading the comments, everyone seems to forget that this is a good way for recruits and retained firefighters to train on a live fire and practice their skills.
On something like this the training is minimal at best. While taking loads of resources.
Inviting a bunch of firemen to a barn burning is like inviting a bus load of toddlers to a cupcake factory. lol
Hey, we like cupcakes too. Especially at a controlled burn.
hahaha who wouldn't!?
Honestly, for most of them a chance in a lifetime to gain such experience!
Wow! Well planned, well executed, picture perfect burn. This was fascinating! Excellent video and great work by the fire crews.

Well if you keep down the source of heat, less heat to burn nearby items
Thanks for taking the time to film this

What a waste...the timber in those buildings is worth a fortune. One in a local town was just dis assembled and the owner made serious bank.

The building is huge and I think units from other towns came to learn how to use some of the equipment and get some practice on big fires , Most buildings in these towns are two and three stories tall.
In real life you would have the same it as called MABAS. Look it up find out how it works.
I'm originally from Nashua, New Hampshire. This isn't it.
Hey that's where I'm from and currently live it's gone to shit stay away lol
Then that narrows it down to Nashua, PA or Nashua IA. I'm betting Iowa since the fire department names match other towns near Nashua IA

Waste of time. Waste of manpower. Waste of water. Waste of salvageable and recyclable building materials. Unnecessary emissions. Unnecessary risk to firefighters. Unnecessary risk to adjacent structures. All because they were too cheap to pay some real pros to bring it down.
waahhh wahhhh 😂
Yeah, they shou!d be heavily fined for that air pollution.
no wonder America is by far the worst per capita polluter
If your trying to burn it dont use water
That was illegal as hell.
What a shame and a waste of a historic building, just burning it down to build some ugly eyesore. Maybe flats and that's more pressure on the water system.This should have been listed.
Where do you get off polluting the environment??
Huge waste all way around!
One day soon we are not going to be able to import safe food fast enough, then what ?
WOMEN, PLEASE GO HOME !!
Why do you think that you have to burn it down and polluting the air ? Men built it , just dismantle it the same way 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏻♂️
