I do hope that any animals kept in that barn were saved and let me express my sincere sympathies at the loss of your barn and contents. As a farm girl myself, I know that if you have a working farm, a barn fire is devastating. And thank you for allowing us to ride along and to watch fire departments work to extinguish this blaze.
Firefighting helicopters aren’t normally seen fighting structure fires. They’re normally seen doing water drops on wildfires to extinguish hotspots and smoldering embers.
Short answer: The tanker trucks are gonna drop off their water at the end of the driveway so they don't clog up the driveway. That's why they're running the hose so far. Long answer: There is no water supply this far out in the countryside. You have to rely on tanker trucks to relay race one another to bring water to the site. At 9:45 we can see the driveway is so tight that it's not a good option to have tanker trucks squeezing past each other over and over and over. That's asking for someone to get their mirror knocked off, or worse yet for someone to find a soft spot and get bogged in the mud. To alleviate this, departments will set up a portable water tank at the end of the driveway, and run hose (and stage intermediate trucks along the line to keep water pressure up) up to the engines directly fighting the fire. The water tank is an open top canvas box, very much like an above ground swimming pool. The tanker you see at 8:54 will have a pickup hose dropped in the portable water tank, and an outbound hose hooked to the long hose that is going the whole length of the driveway. Tankers that are arriving to scene will NOT have to drive up the driveway, but instead will have to dump their water into this tank. Water gets sucked out of the tank, goes up the hose, makes it to the fire.
Highly valid question, but I feel that the US is vast in its size, and that is a solution that isn't in place also due to cost. Places like the one shown probably have a local well that needs a certain flow rate according to local code, and would likely be insufficient to effectively fight the fire (this might be wrong). I do feel as we could... But given that I don't think it's common practice, there is likely a reason I'm unaware of.
@@CamerenC You're correct; well water is very insufficient when it comes to effectively fighting a fire. Plumbing for home usage is using 3/4 inch tubing running at about 2-3 gallons per minute. Fire trucks use 1 to 4 inches of hose at 250 to 1200 gallons per minute, maybe more/less apparatus configuration depending. A house's garden hose tap is enough pressure to wash your hands. A fire truck hose is enough to knock you off your feet and toss you backwards. As for why we don't do it, cost. I know I can't afford to install a fire main, and I know the county can't either. They're too busy re-paving the roads, cutting trees back so they stop falling on the power lines, and replacing our wire-hung traffic signals that are 20+ years old at this point.
Schade das in der VSA (USA) keine sogenannten Schlauchbrücken gibt ! Eine Schlauchbrücken ist eine kleine Holz Konstruktion, wo die Schläuche rein gelegt werden. So das ein Feuerwehrauto problemlos darüber fahren kann, ohne den Schlauch zu beschädigen. Manchmal wird sowas hier in Deutschland auch an Straßen aufgebaut, wo der normale Verkehr noch fahren kann. Schöne Aufnahmen 👍👍👍
County living!! Theres no fire hydrants out there in the country. Take a look at the width of the access to get there. They empty the water from a truck and then have to go refill. Most small towns have a tanker truck for water only. Look at the water line that runs down the driveway. It's a water issue,,, not a standing around problem.
This could easily be done, however there is a fine line (especially with MVAs) on what is morally ethical. What shouldn't be filmed for the privacy of the patient(s) vs. What can be filmed. That is why you typically see vehicle cam videos, since what can be scene by the vehicle can typically be scene by the public on location. You are riding a knife's edge when you record anything that is inside a building, or close ups on the MVA. It's not unexpected to only be able to use 15 seconds of internal footage from a 20 min recording.
@kylesmith540 I hate when people film accidents because my mother was in a VERY, VERY bad accident and people were photographing it, the police had them delete them thankfully
It’s part of the job my dude. Knowing the area there might have been some logistical issues to setting up shuttle operations right up front there without causing issues for further incoming apparatus, as well as overall scene access.
@@MarvUSA then you should know then that seeing that scene, you couldn’t get a drop tank up there with turn around for tankers without cutting off that narrow point into the scene. Not to mention the lack of level shoulder on the road.
Ah yes, the old guy who hasn't seen a truck in decades wants to tell these younger guys how to do their job despite his methods being incredibly outdated.
Soooooo impressive 8 or 9 engines 40-45 firefighters and OMG WOW 1 fire hose with 1 man on the barn 👍 great job there everyone
Probably because the fire is already starting to go out😂

Excellent night time video. I pray everyone was safe during this fire and there was no entrapment. Greetings from Lancaster, California.
Everyone did an outstanding great job working together , and very proud of all of You Brother's and Sister's!!!!!!!
I love seeing your working fire videos. I can't fight fires anymore but I enjoy your videos.
Good video you don't want to hear firefighters of this nation are Amazing.
Love everyone of you
There is no greater sound than a fire engine screaming down the road code 3.
I wish we could see the barn raising. Truly the coolest thing to see!
Love these calls that are 100 miles away
Do you guys have enough people to man multiple apparatus, or does everyone pile into the truck, engine, or rescue squad depending on the call?
too bad fire trucks cant fly, or at least beam from place to place in seconds.
Technically there are firefighting helicopters
See the sad thing about that is we wouldn't be able to hear that screaming federal Q as they rush to the call
Firefighting helicopters aren’t normally seen fighting structure fires. They’re normally seen doing water drops on wildfires to extinguish hotspots and smoldering embers.
That would take the fun out of it
Oh boy that would be something 😊
What the layed on that 5in hose for a little fire like that come on
I know nothing about the logistics of the area, but, that was a LOT of hose just to get sufficient water on site. Or am I missing a detail?

What channel on broadcastify? Is it the Charlie channel?
❤
man that engine on that berm was a bit sketchy, any high its rolling
9:24 is the timestamp, for anyone else looking for it.
How do you make your outro
Why don't the US have Underground Water Tanks like they do in the UK, France and other countries near to farms?

@@CamerenC No I think you said it correctly. COST. Seems that most things in the US it all comes to cost.

By the looks to me they are standing around with there hands in the pockets
This is what's called casual fire fighting.

@@kylesmith540yes of course don’t be doing things disrespectfully. And comply with HIPAA
5 пожарных поливают и 20 пожарных ходят с одного места на другое слаженно работают
Established water supply, get out the cards
The first 8:30 of this is a waste, but other than that it was good
Holy crap the place will be burned down by the time they got there....30 miles away
They usually do anyway. 90% burn to the ground.
Pretty useless if 90% burn to the ground. There’s more blokes standing around doing nothing than ones fighting the fire.
You guys could have set up a tanker show right in the barn yard. Enjoy picking up all the 5".

Driver slow down. Its a damn barn
That damn barn may have the farmers entire lively hood in there. So my perspective is get there as fast as you can and save as much as you can.
Why didn’t truck 50 respond
There are other closer truck companies to my knowledge.
