    I have watched soooo many fire companies show up at a working fire unprepared. I love that these folks were ready, had a plan and went to it. Having your SCBA ON when you arrive is key to an aggressive attack and quick knockdown. The guys are well trained.

    Great response guys & gals. Glad to see the PPE already where it needs to be when these guys get off the truck. You do need air for a truck fire. The chemicals in that smoke will kill you. I thought the same as Jeff on the placement of the truck. At first it was like No !!. After seeing situation better, it was a safe & convenient place to stop as there was the frontage road that ran along 81 for directing traffic. It got the crew close to the semi, but also provided safety distance in case of explosions.

    Can I ask a question? If you have that man calls and see the smoke why do you wait to go scene before you ask dispatch to start rolling a tanker(s)?
    Our dispatcher was toning us us out, getting us rolling then drop a second tone for tanker support 3 minutes later. We also never had a single tanker rolling, we always had at least 2 or more always rolling with us.
    Maybe it's just the way we operate and train just seemed a little slow and disorganized.

I followed a nozzle a time or two in my 30+ years got more "heat hurts" from the "event" than steam.

      Obviously you didn't see me ready to go. Mask on and everything.

      Yeah no you don’t ride pack on. Everybody knows that. If you don’t have the integrated seats it’s extremely dangerous
