@@avontaprice6296 If the driver knew there was a fire inside the truck the smart idea is to drive directly to the fire station. Due to the relatively closed up nature of the bin little oxygen can get in there fore the fire isnt at a risk to get much bigger.
Safety stops for the TG lift cylinders were not put in place, had the HP hyd line blown the TG could have slammed down killing any one in its way. I get it they’re not thinking about that during fire but could have had a much worse outcome.
Out of 24 years of doing Garbage I've never had a load catch fire do to batteries. However the 2 times I've had a load on fire is because they didn't put out the charcoal briquettes from there bbq.
We've had 8 garbage truck fires so far this year in the city I live in and everyone of them was started by household batteries and they were definitely not started by charcoal briquettes from the BBQ
They should have waited for the blade to push the load out and truck to pull forward all it takes is thos hydraulics to give out and that rear comes down killing anyone under it

The only thing much worse that a garbage truck fire is a fire in a garage transfer station. We had a large transfer station in our first due and that thing caught fire at least once or twice a year. We were there for hours putting out the smoldering fire in all that garbage. If it were not for front loaders we would have been there for days. Unlike blacking out a brush fire you had to wear your BA the whole time. In the middle of summer it was a real ass buster.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention for some reason UA-cam is only allowing several of our latest videos to be 360p we will make sure this is corrected for future videos since this is obviously not the quality we shoot in or expect our followers to have to watch in
Question... why didn't the garbage truck driver dump all the garbage first, pull away a few feet to allow extinguishing any burning remnants in the truck and allow for complete overhaul of the garbage pile? Any remaining embers hidden could easily find their way to the landfill where, you know, a landfill fire that can tie up units for days or even weeks... or did a continuance of the video show that? Sometimes these "snapshot" videos need to run a bit longer to get more of a complete picture of how various departments operate on even the more mundane tasks of extinguishing a dumpster or a garbage truck fire, as standard operating procedures do vary throughout the nation and the world.
Our trash company pissed me off. So I got a gallon of muriatic acid at the pool store, barely put on the cap, put a gallon of water in a different trash bag, also barely turning the cap, only half a turn and would easily leak or pop off when being crushed and the two would mix, and get very hot. About 20 minutes later and two streets away I see smoke coming from the truck and the truck was destroyed by fire. You messed with the wrong person.
Did they ever determine the cause of the fire what stared it? great work by the fire department putting out the fire . we have witnessed them @ the fire academy training how to handle all types of trash trucks older vehicles small long rear loaders front loaders and transfer station trailers that were donated to the academy to train with . trash recycling LEAFS grass clippings brush wood bulk pick ups it was very well completed for are county and other towns and cities to come train for .
I wouldn't have had the trash dumped in front of the station. Move down 100 feet to keep the area available for the other trucks to respond to other emergencies.
it was more than likely a cigarette that was still hot, or it could have been the heat from the engine....worst case possible is arson....i've seen it before with dumpsters

That alarm noise could put you in the nut house.
I hear it all day every day. You get used to it.
Perfect place to have the fire right in front of the fire station
Driver may have driven there on purpose.
I totally agree on that.👍👍

To paraphrase Han Solo, “Opening this trash container was a wonderful idea, What a wonderful smell you’ve discovered” 😂😂😂
Done that plenty of times in my day of a trash guy.
Han Solo "And I thought they smelled bad on the outside."
It was a small job, but everyone was in full PPE. Appears to be a well-trained and well-commanded department!
Better look again.. two clowns on tools mask on not hooked up.. white hat sticking his face in there.
@@polby1976 Still better than average...

@@polby1976 For real. I was impressed until I saw they didn't even have their masks hooked up.
@@hjoxie1895 I thought the same thing.
This is why you don’t put flammable crap in the garbage, especially if the truck in your area runs off CNG.
Could have been a battery that started it.
@ Yup that's what I said. Thanks for confirmation.
🤦😂
And this is why you don’t throw batteries in trash.
Out of 24 years of doing Garbage I've never had a load catch fire do to batteries. However the 2 times I've had a load on fire is because they didn't put out the charcoal briquettes from there bbq.
Lipo batteries are very flammable when you punch a hole or mechanically damage it.

@@michaelfreeze2949 Exactly, I’ve seen dumpster fires result from batters being tossed in with trash.
Don't EVER go under the raised back or a trash truck!!!! please......
Definitely a good point, only if there is an actual lift lock in place.
They should have waited for the blade to push the load out and truck to pull forward all it takes is thos hydraulics to give out and that rear comes down killing anyone under it
Calm down they have helmets on.
I thought the exact same.
Same thing applies to those raw sewage vacuum trucks.
Rule #1 when driving a garbage truck is that the driver dumps his/her load in the event of fire; don’t wait for FD to dump for you.
save the truck... right?
@@sharongagnist6428 Yep
Exactly cheaper to clean up the mess than replace the truck
That makes too much sense though

The most nerve-racking thing of this is the firefighters under that hydraulic lift
Yup, my late father was a firefighter and EMT, something happened to him that spooked him enough to not go into burning buildings anymore before he died in a car accident
There’s no need to go under it so no need to be
thinking he drove to the firehouse when he first noticed the smoke..Dump the load, save the truck..

Landfill fires aren't much better.
@@Twitchy239
Might they even be worse with the presence of off-gassing?
in front of the firehouse now that is a fast response brothers
My guess is he knew it was on fire and knew the station was close and drove it there.
Wow very interesting local to me as well!
That was one hell of a smell
How did the fire start??????😕😕😕😕😕🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
that must smell like hell ... burned plastic and full diapers on fire :D
I'm an ex volunteer firefighter , trust me that smell is nothing compared to a dump fire.
how many fire men does it take to put out a fire ???
At least the truck wasn't packed full. But they do have a little mess to clean up.
Not sure if it's just me but I can only view in 360p?

props to the truck driver for driving to the fire department.

Answer the damn phone........
thats not a phone ringing!
@@StalloneSiciliano no, really?
someone answer that damn phone 🤣
That had to smell worse than someone taking a runny shit after having taco bell
Good to see my American comrades wearing their full PPE. Stay safe and live long 💪
Fire 🚨🚨⏰⏰the bell shall be ringing up north
Shesh bro
Looks like he was just starting his route
Die Müllkutsche brennt! Krass! 😂

Someone please answer your phone.
Interesting idea to save the way to the waste incineration plant by burning the trash right in the truck
Someone probably threw away batteries if I had to guess
hot coals from last nights bbq
Pick up the phone ☎️❗
On the other end of that phone call, hey we’re going need you to pick all that crap back up and finish your route.. click
Oh YUMMY! The smell of burning trash...then the smell of wet burned trash...
what a trash fire
it was more than likely a cigarette that was still hot, or it could have been the heat from the engine....worst case possible is arson....i've seen it before with dumpsters
wow I heard it could happen but I never thought I could see one actually happened on a video
Tip: watch on mute or very low volume.
That STINKS.. 🔥
I hope someone helped the man clean that up!
Good thing the garbage truck fire was right in front of the fire station.
just love a good old drug fire some ones cooker.
That fire is raising a big stink. Better call HAZMAT to make sure it's cleaned up properly from the street.
I see a bodybag
Wish someone would get the damn phone!
This not first time
Ya ni en donde vivo llegan 10 bomberos para un fueguito
Should have dumped the load. Save the truck. Cheaper to clean up the mess then to replace a garabge truck
That was 1 Really hot diaper, Stop feeding the baby Taco bell!!!!!!
0:27 wow amik fattman this is fireman? :D Xd XD XD XD good luck.............. america = the end
What a mess!
Driver looks like Butck Gadomski
Mad trash on the ground 😡
Driver should of packed the load more n smother the fire!...
That wouldn't do anything , the only way to put out a trash fire in a garbage truck is to dump the load and then spray it down.
I guess that was a trashy job 😁
Was ein nerviger Klingelton :)
