Glad you didn't grab the "temporary fuel tank" fire extinguisher. 😳 Nice job keeping relatively calm.
Exaclty what most viewers were thinking!
Wow! That went sideways in a hurry. At least you learned and passed the lesson on to others. Good on ya.
Kudos to you, Chris! One of your most admirable qualities is your willingness to let people see the real you in a lot of situations. It takes confidence, integrity, and humbleness to do that on this type scale. Please don't change or give up if/when people are cold and critical, because I assure you there are many, many people out here who appreciate your transparency. God bless you, and stay safe 😉
Thanks so much for the kind words man. Yeah I try to always stay transparent and disclose mistakes along the way. Sometimes it stings depending on what people say but the longer you do this kind of thing the more you just brush it off and don't care what people think. Mistakes happen. Some people make more than others.
Glad you and the garage are ok. One time cutting plow mounts off of a dump truck I caught the grease and oil that the old diesel had been leaking on fire. The garden hose was winterized, I didn’t know what the hell to do. I ran into the house and grabbed cup fulls of water to calm it down before realizing that wasn’t going to come close to enough, ran inside, turned the water valve on, luckily the hose was hooked up, and doused it. No real damage, just an eye opening experience. Next day went and bought a big high quality fire extinguisher, and now whenever I see them at the dump, as long as they are reasonably not out of charge I pick them up. I’ve got a little collection of 5-6 in the corner of the garage now. Even when their out of charge, they normally still discharge fine.
It happened to me while cleaning fuel injectors :
I took the fuel container outside FIRST to not aggravate the situation by adding inadvertedly combustible to the fire.
Then i walked fast without running to get the fire extinguisher.
I learned that you have to separate combustibles from heat/spark sources at all time.
I learned that you need to have a clean environment without bunch of stuff in the middle in your working area.
several maintained fire extinguishers easily accessible are a necessity,like a water source nearby.
We all have done dumb things that went very wrong, but they were not recorded. Thanks to your recording many people can learn from it. Glad you are safe and have the courage to be open with this misadventure.
As a volunteer Firefighter EMT all I can say is it a bad idea if it works?!? Glad your safe and learned from your mistake!!
Geez, what dramatic footage. You could teach Hollywood a lot about action movies. Thanks for the thrilling 4 mins. and thanks for the explanation about using water on oil that's at the boiling point.
So glad it wasn't any worse. Happy you're okay. Stay safe brother!
Shit happens!
The good part though is now every time your grinding from now on you'll always remember what happened and analyze the surrounding area better. Similar thing happened to me years ago with wood dust and shavings all over the floor, after that I paid a lot more attention.
Glad nothing really bad happened!!
Everything is under control!
Guess it’s also a good example on why it’s important to keep a straight and clean shop
Glad you're ok
I'm glad you didn't get hurt and the garage didn't burn down... Yes a couple lessons learned here... Keep Sparks away from flammables and also proper fire extinguishers easily accessible in case of fire...
Glad you're ok!
great thinking on your feet! saved your garage for sure!
Great little video. We've all done similar stuff, so you've probably saved a life if one person upon going back in their garage has a tidy up. Good man. I once had a sudden fire in my workshop. I was heating an engine casing to accept a bearing and some residual brake cleaner I'd not realised had puddled lit up and set a load of stuff on the bench alight. I keep a powder extinguisher on the side of my tool chest and after first near sh*tting myself I pulled the pin on this thing and sprayed it for like, one extended blast. Probably not two seconds. Put the fire out great. But OMG for the next two years I'd be getting parts and stuff off the shelf on the other side of the workshop and there was powder on them. The best thing about the powder extinguishers is that the powder gets EVERYWHERE quickly. The worst thing about them? That the powder gets EVERYWHERE quickly :)
Dude, I saw your video on IG and was waiting for this video. Thanks for posting. Good lessons to be had here. You should post this on your main channel. It's a good PSA.
I try to keep the main channel to long format videos only. Originally wasn't going to share this since I know how many people are going to talk smack, but then figured I would post it up anyway because it's a good PSA like you said. And a great wake up call for others.
@@nnkhmiscI totally get it but these things happen. I once had a small fire start when i was welding a nut onto a broken bolt in a block and lit an oily rag on fire nearby. Got it out but it was a reminder to stay vigilant. Most of us who work in our garage likely have similar stories. Andrew Camarata definitely has a few good ones. This video was an important reminder. Love your videos.
I’d crap my pants if that happened in my shop. And it probably will because I do more reckless things than that Chris. Thanks for posting this video. Hopefully it encourages many folks to be more aware. I know it’s making me think twice about how much more careful I need to be while working it the shop around flammable items 😬 Thanks Chris🙂👍 I definitely needed this video as a formal warning to exercise greater care in the workplace.
Glad your safe mate👍🏻
Yep … happens to the best of us!
Thankfully it didn’t get worse.
Gonna need a bigger shop. 😳
God Bless
😎
Thanks for sharing Chris, glad you didn't get hurt man.
Glad you were OK...thanks for your honesty and as always, being real.
Thanks for posting. I see alot of guys doing some really sketchy shit on other channels too. I enjoy your videos, just be safe. Especially standing on top of that tower with no harness . . . .
Never a dull moment!!
Glad you're safe.
Thanks for sharing. It's a good lesson for us all. I might add a couple more extinguishers to the workshop. They are cheap insurance
Chris, we are so glad you are OK and not much damage. This video sends a reminder to all of us about work shop dangers and safety! We all have had accidents and have done some careless things around home. Thanks for sharing this.
Wow glad you're okay brother now I think you know the four corner rule every corner of the garage May there be a big fire extinguisher
That brings back memories, not good ones tho. I am a welder / fabricator and I built the biggest stage in the worlds biggest night club (Privilege on Ibiza island Spain) when the stage was completed I was welding a few last bits with my screen down, someone cut their finger and came to use the firstaid box located in that area, I checked everything was safe and far away from my work area before welding some small pieces, the person who had a cut finger took isopropyl alcohol from first aid box and used the end of my bench to treat their wound leaving the open isopropyl bottle open and a soaked cotton swab, I didnt hear them or know anything until Boom and 6 foot high flames. Now shouting fire a few people came with extinguishers and all was good again in seconds, no damage and we never discovered who the person was who treated themselves. True account!
Uggghhh…. I’ve been procrastinating on replacing my shop extinguisher. Will definitely be getting a new one tomorrow! Poo happens. Glad you are ok, and situation was not worse!
Pretty cool you got that on video so you can see exactly what happened and how you reacted. Glad it all ended well. Also good food for thought for all of us.
This is why I keep baking soda around glad you are OK
Good idea!
Me, too! Cheap and effective.
Chris, I'm glad you survived unscathed. I somehow missed the video when you posted it!
Perhaps it will help someone who works regularly works around combustible liquids/items and is a little lax safety-wise here and there :)
Damn! Well that got your adrenaline flowing for sure! I see that in addition to the cap being off that there was a convenient funnel left in the can to not only catch the sparks but to direct them down into the contain of flammables! 🔥🔥.. Seriously though , I am glad that it was not any worse and you acted quickly to get the fire out. Accidents happen..
And now you are officially a Dragon Warrior!🐉 Good thing that you are ok!!!👍 Safety comes first!!! Not third! And you definitely need a bigger space to place things in proper way.
Oh man Chris! You have said for years that you try to include your mistakes in videos as well as you successes- it takes a lot to actually walk the walk. Just like the Tundra at the bit ramp…
So glad you are ok! If that can would have popped/exploded and spilled the oil more in your direction it would have covered your pants!
Scary for sure! I keep multiple extinguishers of different types and sizes all over the different areas of my workshop because I know that anything can happen anytime just like your video.
Glad Gus wasn’t outside with you either. Scary video for sure
Glad your safe Chris and the fames didn’t get to bad 👍🏼
how exciting, for a moment there I thought you grabbed the fire extinguisher that you converted to pressurize fuel
It’s Easy to Say WTF, until it happens to you! You didn’t panic, and had it contained within 90 Seconds!!
👍
You dodged a bullet there
He probably rocking to driving and crying “fly me courageous “ it says something about building a fire
You live you learn. Bet you don't do that again. Glad it wasn't to bad.
Yoooo that was intense!
Yea! for sure.
I have a real fear of uncontrolled fire. Funny story but not, years ago my uncle and I were doing a first start on a mud truck. Had a fuel line running in to a 5 gallon gas can. With excessive cranking, the carb was flooding over and the valley of the engine was full of gas. When it finally fired, it backfired through the carb and it lit up. I started running for the door, with my uncle shouting, where tf are you going! I was outta there lol... He started cranking it again and it sucked the fire in to the motor and all ended well. Fast thinking on your part, that could've been really bad!!!
by the way thx for sharing love the videos
So that was some scary $#!t, man! Glad you're okay. Gonna make sure my extinguishers are up to snuff and where they need to be tomorrow. Thanks for posting, love your vlogs and videos!
With extinguishers two is one and one is none... They're cheap enough and can really save your bacon when shtf. And size does matter too, the small bottles don't last that long so it's necessary to take aim and think before acting. Also keeping your garage/workspace clean will help prevent accidents like this. It would also be a good idea to plan your work so you always have a way to get out if something happens, it's not fun to run over flaming puddle of oil to get out or get the extinguisher.
Sh!t happens. You put it out tho, that's all that matters!
and will put the cap on the used flammable fliud container... 👍
Hey man I am glad you were not hurt. No hate here.
Thanks Mike
Terrifying! Well I bet you'll pay more attention to your sparks in the future. Good quick reflexes anyway NNKH!
Something to think about - You're lucky that you didn't slip while walking on that spilled oil.
Could have been a Richard Pryor moment.
damn bro! safety first.... coming up on winter house fires and fires in general are more common than ever. make sure you got good fire extinguishers and a plan and are paying attention! interesting video
but always have the water hose as back-up always get the hose ready save your house and property an extinguisher isn't always enough. before you burn even grind put all your fire stuff hose extinguishers on stand by before you work and wait around 45 minutes after any grinding and burning. i saw many jobs where guys didnt wait around and a smoldering fire was started. they didnt see. and it created a fire after they left. twice in my tenure i was stuck with the mess of guys being careless and had to put the fires out
Isn't ALEX LIKE 1/2 YOUR SIZE? (Looks even less on camera! Lol) Would explain the range diff. Great update.
Actually yeah that's a good point. He's probably a little lighter than me yeah
I’m happy you avoided a catastrophe. Your a good dude. Like your content. However. I wish you would clean up
And be better organized. You have way way too much stuff laying around.
Get permission from Gus before doing any more torch work.
I think I was sub 1k
I'm Sorry i know its something serious, but youre reaction does remind me a little of a Laurel and hardy. had to laugh a little. Be safe!
by the way you can use water just spray the flames not the base get a feel for it like you did when spraying the reaction of the spray on the fire you did good. i always use water. and that dry chemical it the worst c02 is best but water will work. i used to work at isg plate Conshohocken grease every where and we used water just be carful when doing it like you were doing it., that dry powder is the worst and dont breath it i know some one who was in the hospital for weeks messed his throat and lungs up
first of all you have a cluttered work space. and all burning welding and grinding you should have a fire watch, what the fire watch does is wet the area down when possible and always has some kind of fire suppressant at reach. you did good though didnt panic. but i assume you were having thoughts of every thing you owned was going to be gone and your neighbors thoughts what they would think. as you were scrambling. glad you were okay but in the future you need to do that out side away from the shop when you dont have a fire watch. as a millwright industrial mechanic with decades of demo and mechanical experience take my advice. if a fire watch isnt available than you should do it out side open area with any combustibles' at least 10 feet away
just remember when you burn grind weld there should be time set a side to get your safety shit together and then time set a side to wait after for any smoldering. if there isnt enough time dont do the job dont take chances
Stuff happens.
Glad it was minimal, was that the same time that you ran out the shop and fell on your butt? I will admit I did laugh at both.
No the ice slip clip was older footage
All i see is a welding jacket, i would have just thrown my welding jack over the top and stopped it out.
It's a nice leather jacket that I wouldn't want to ruin by throwing on flaming used motor oil. I know that's not the right mentality when there's a fire. But I knew I had an extinguisher right next to the door. It just wasn't there when I got there. Lol. Luckily I had a backup
Coño cuidao.
i only tell you this because you and i have similar back grounds and this safety shit was drilled in my head over the years and would always laugh at it as years went by i started taking it seriously. because of what i saw. and i know you are no dope. but like me need to have some one show them the things they need you think you know every thing or your always in control. but if that thing blew up you could have been in capacitated in some form if the hose was there a walker by or neighbor could take over
😳😳😳😱😱
Dude, that coulda sucked!
Yeah that's for sure!
Glad all is well!
duude.....
🤣😂🤣
and wear your safety shit you should have had safety glasses on and glove s just saying thats minimum its for your own good and your property. how can you pick something up hot if you cant see or hold if all it would take is to throw it out of the equations
well that was a wake up call no one got hurt no property damage now learn from it and keep it from happening again/ dont be that guy on the news yeah you tuber was making a video and his house burnt down tripped broke his leg trying to get a frozen water hose had to watch his life work go up in flames lol just kidding glad you were alright now put your safety plan together for next time.
That could have gotten bad. My question is was there skid marks in the undies or did you just thrown them away because that’s a huge ohhhh Sssshhhhiiii moment. Glad to see you were not hurt.
Glad your safe bro!
1. Always have and know where uour extinguisher is.
2. Know where your sparks are going.
3. I had a carb 🔥 that caught some masking paper that went up that fast. See #1.
