We're all here from reddit.

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

It's pretty ironic to see a fire truck spitting fire.

Best video ever

REDDIT GANG

[@chrisseydel9208]

My father built this truck and I have pictures to prove I even helped him build it and run it

[@che3se185]

Yes i Think thats wonderfull

[@Timsonicboom88]

I saw Aftershock at the Capital Airshow a year ago. I was surprised to see that truck because it’s a fire truck with jet turbines in the back. I’m used to seeing jet cars in person,but not a fire truck.

[@backwoodsgps]

some big effort gone into this - scary

[@steadycruisin619]

Literally fighting fire with fire

[@chrismurnane6389]

if it doesn't drive through the wheels,is it really a motor vehicle?

[@1loltroller]

where is the power generated from

[@onno2110]

2 rolls Royce engines

[@chrisseydel9208]

From the thrust of the engines basically air coming out rear of truck pushes it there is no drive shaft or transmission

[@PBST_RAIDZ]

pretty much uses super heated air to push itself forward to keep it simple

[@57HarleyDavidson]

What was that thing that blew off the truck at 5:17?

[@MoxieMike66]

I wondered what happened to it. Pat Davidson bought it to have it match race his Under Pressure jet ambulance. He hated those Rolls Royce engines though. lol I think he had Mario Carranca driving it. Haven't seen or heard anything about Pat in awhile. Last I saw he had the fire engine for sale. Apparently the new owner is having better luck w/it.

[@ThePhilosopherLB]

That was cooler than expected redditors

[@benjaminbonelli9335]

FYI the truck is called aftershock

[@victoryredcolorado]

No this one. Aftershock is a semi truck. Filmed it at Byron Dragway years ago. 👊
