      NFPA requires an apparatus is to be staged a minimum of 100' from a vehicle fire in the event the gas tank ruptures or the vehicle starts rolling.
      That is why a bumper hose load is 150'.

    The Mail Carrier’s Creed reads something like “Neither rain not sleet nor snow nor dark of night shall stay this courier from his appointed rounds,” but somehow I think having your truck catch on fire definitely counts as an exception to the rule!

    The reason they parked far away is because they are up wind where most of the smoke is headed, exterior firefighters aren't qualified to wear respiratory equipment ie: the driver/pump operator also you have no idea if something is going to explode so you keep your truck at a safe distance and create a blockade so someone doesn't come plowing through, last you have no idea what is in the vehicle that could explode upon arrival

    To all the people posting negative replys I dare you to wake up at 7am on a day off from work, or your vacation day, a day which you could sleep in but instead wake up get dressed as fast as possible drive to your local firehouse half asleep, just to put on about 75 lbs worth of gear in under a minute, climb with said gear up the side of a truck, pull up to the scene of a fire still half asleep help flake out a hose that weighs an additional 75 to 125 lbs hook it up to a hydrant then hold said hose that shoots out enough pressurized water to blow you off your feet, then unhook the hose walk it out, roll it up, climb back on the apparatus ride back to the station wash everything down including your gear. I would love to see you do that everyday for a month then lets hear you criticize and complain because until you have worn the gear and put in the time you have no right to judge.

    I was a volunteer fireman many years ago. Getting in too much of a hurry gets folks injured. The hose is folded so that it comes out of the storage compartment without tangling or or getting knotted. It must be mostly stretched out before pressurizing it. These firemen were not goofing off. In vehicle fires, tires explode, fuel tanks do so only occasionally. Shock absorbers can explode and sometimes shoot out like a rocket. The postal worker should have moved the mail farther away-- an explosion could have destroyed it.

    It really took them 2 minutes (!) to get the water running? Seriously? Shouldn't it be at least a bit faster?
    I remember a video from Switzerland with a fire truck arriving on scene of a van on fire (I think it was a camper) and they had the water running within 20 seconds from the moment the apparatus came to a stop ...

      AGREE, EITHER THEY ARE INCOMPETENT OF DON'T GIVE A DAMN. See similar fire truck arrivals in France, UK, Germany, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and the water is flowing in seconds....shit even Russian trucks and crews are quicker.

      @@signature1990 I'm usually not the kind of guy talking bad about a department, but this was a bit too extreme ...
      I remember a video from Switzerland with a Engine or Rescue Engine arriving on scene of a van / camper van on fire. From the moment the apparatus came to a complete stop to the moment the had the water running it took them only 25 (okay, maybe 23, maybe 28, anyway less than 30) seconds

      @Cris Becker nobody won't get killed when working at normal speed ... the fire-fighters in that clip I talked about weren't really racing at all to be honest; and there was no reason for it ... getting out of the truck, opening two compartments, starting the pump and rolling out a hose aren't really many or time consuming tasks ...
      And btw Chris I decided not be be active as fire-fighter any more for several reasons. I wasn't in the city where I used to live, nor in the villages I lived for some time nor in the town I live in right now.

      @Cris Becker thick black smoke low above the street ... I imagine how it is like when someone left a window on his house open and the smoke gets in there for an unnecessary long time ....
      Or anything else damaged by the heat
      Where they weren't working at normal speed? The entire time? Just because there might not be a life in danger ... working faster can prevent other damages. Moving the packages further away would have reduced their damages as well (and concerning the time they took until they had the water running they had enough time to move it)

    • @EnjoyFirefighting
      @EnjoyFirefighting 6 років тому +1

      @Cris Becker I know it's not a competition or something, but I'll post it here as an example (the mentioned clip from Switzerland):
      ua-cam.com/video/sOTG-nG463c/v-deo.html
      Another one from Austria (yes, it has an aweful quality, but you can still see the water running within 30 seconds): ua-cam.com/video/yoi4KmW2qfM/v-deo.html
      IMO a quick attack hose is absolutely perfect for a vehicle fire. If they want or have to, they can still set up another attack hose and a supply hose if necessary, but the quick attack hose covers a lot of time until they are set up

    For those complaining about the mail being close to the truck the carrier was trying to get all the mail out didn't have time to run each tray/parcel away , they it all out then move it, however the fire got too hot carrier couldn't get close enough to the mail. Always easy to criticize other people

      I don't think the firemen ever saw the mail before soaking it. It would have been nice if they had looked on the other side of the mail truck before spraying the fire or start from the front of the mail truck. One would have thought the firemen would think the mail may be outside the truck. I will admit the mail was still too close to the mail truck and if the fire had gone another few minutes the mail would have burned.
