Dramatic tractor fire near Welshpool 

Diesel, Hydrauliköl und jede Menge Gummi. Wenn die Flüssigkeiten die Reifen in Brand gesetzt haben gibt das ein beachtliches Feuer wie hier zu sehen. Und die Druckluft in den Reifen facht es zusätzlich an.

@@thomashubert2977 3:55 oh my god

And about 1,500-2,000 lbs of rubber, 40-50 gallons of flammable liquids, and a couple of hundred pounds of plastic....

thats a modern tractor. probably 30% metal at best.

That's because they used garden hoses instead of a real fire hose...

Thats about average time, ,they are using the correct hose reels, doesnt warrant running mainlines out to hydrants.. they did a bloody good job

@@mortgagewizard40 This is what happens when you don't have anything other than a garden hose hooked up already, and you have to piece together the right sized hose.... Complacency.

Air packs air packs come on

@@ffjsb Oh do be quiet and find another record Troll

On call firefighters have other jobs or are at home so traffic could cause delays in responding to the station then to wherever the incident is traffic and the area in where the incident is could be very rural! We don't all live in big towns and cities with a wholetime station

There are always critics behind keyboards. You would be amazed at the number of people standing watching a fire all assuming someone else has called the fire brigade. It happened to me on my way to Bury Fire Stn for my Saturday day shift. I saw the mill going well some distance from the main road and assumed we would be relieving the night crew but when I cycled into the yard both pumps and TTL were in the appliance room. I told the night Stn Officer and he thought I was pulling his leg until I convinced him I was serious. The bells went down just as I jumped the 2nd pump for one of the night shift. When were arrived the managing director was bouncing up and down and red in the face with anger shouting it's taken us 20 minutes to get there. Stn O Durham (RIP) asked him what time he made the phone call and the guy looks at us and says 'er well I didn't actually phone you.....but someone must have...er, surely?' Well no they didn't this firefighter was cycling into work and saw it and that was the first report. Red faces all round as the mill staff all blamed each other for not making the call. It really isn't unusual at all so don't blame the fire service as we respond as fast as humanly possible but we are always at home station waiting for YOUR particular fire. It can often happen in very busy periods that the nearest fire appliance available could be upwards of 20 plus minutes away. If you have a beef with that then have a word with your MP as the fire services resources have been cut by approx 40% and it's you that will suffer along with us poor bastards doing the work with 40% less manpower and appliances.

​@@Biffo1262ouldnt agree with you more!😊although not a firefighter myself I livevin a town covered by an on call crew and I've worked with many of them over the years and socialised with them as well and my cousin is a firefighter too so I have some understanding of the job which alot of keyboard warriors who post negative comments don't understand

@@Biffo1262 Well said . People dont have a clue and assume everywhere is covered by a wholetime station 5 minutes away and that the pump will always be in .

The firemen from trumpton or camberwick green haha

X reg was 2000 so you were close 😀

​@@anthonygallagher1397why such a smartarse comment are you from numpty la d? It makes a spare pump from brigade workshop whilst their usual pump is being serviced or repaired

@@edwardowen4488 for fk sake, it's a bit of satire, or do you think trumpton,or camberwick green are real places, don't take everything so serious man, haha.

it X reg fire applaince

@@davidwanklyn8842 X is on the other end, so 2000

Could've been a spare pump whilst their main pump was in brigade workshop for service or maintenance

No I reckon a quick lick of paint and you would never know it had been on fire .

It looks like a John Deer, they're good fuel!

It must be one of those new electric tractors. 😂

I think after they buff it a little!

There's hose reels on either side of the pump and the hose on the nearest side was in use first

These uk firefighters are on call part time who have other jobs but when called upon respond as quick as possible from home or work to the fire station and on to wherever the incident is but factors like traffic weather and the location of the incident means delays are possible

They are standing down wind ,, The pump is down wind and the hose reel jets are pushing the smoke away Why BA?

@@MrBonafida For flying debris, flammable liquids in pressurized spaces...

No it's a retained on call crew who have other jobs and are alerted by a pager to respond to the station and on to the incident the location of every crew member and the traffic they each encounter in getting to the station is a factor in response times!

No , if they were they wouldnt have turned up .

Deer burn! Or is it John burn?

@aflaz probably a guy out there called John burn, somewhere 🤔

Did you not see the part where they put the fire out ?

Probably the kids that were standing around in the background Probably stole and set it no fire

Could have been a rural part time fire crew.

​@@greenpedal370it is an on call crew! They have an alerter when that goes off they have to get from where they are to the station and respond to the incident! They try and respond as quickly as possible but it depends on where each crew member is at the time and the traffic

The fire station is 6.5 miles away on narrow rural roads. The crew are on call Firefighters who respond from work/home to the fire station and then proceed to the incident. 5 minutes to respond and turn out from the station plus at least a 10 minute travel time

Maths aren't your strong point are they and you know zilch about rural on-call duty systems. In fact you know zilch full stop.

Are we supposed to laugh at your silly joke ?.

@@williamredfern5504 You had to edit that comment?

It's a retained on call crew which when alerted has to get from wherever they are to the station and on to the incident!

According to the vid, they arrived in 4min 30 odd seconds. You, like so many sitting at home are letting yourself get all caught up in time and lose reality. Do you think they may have had to travel through traffic, get everyone together if volunteers, put suits on, etc etc? Do you expect them to teleport themselves there?

@@aflaz171 Retained not volunteers, same principle though they respond from home or work. Retained are paid volunteers are not.

@johnbratley6926 never said they were volunteers, re read the comment perhaps. Yes, I do know the difference!

​​​@@johnbratley6926 Retained firefighters are not forcibly conscripted therefore surely they are volunteers?

So what is the answer to getting there more quickly ?

@@scooby1992 it's not about getting their quicker. Once they arrive on scene they become slaves to tradition, they do the same thing over and over.

we U.S. boys bring some with us to . any time you want to go head to head with us bring your fire bobbie lads and there little fire truck with you and we will see how you do. all our pumpers carry ether 1500 or 2000 gals water on them so don't shoot your mouth off if you don't know what you are talking about. we also have fire hydrants every were and back up 10.000 gal tanker trucks to. we over here attack fires so big that your fire bobbie lads would put down there hose and run. remember if it was not for the U.S. boys that can't do it as good as your fire bobbies can . because we don't have pumper trucks with water tanks on them. did not come over there and gave there lives, you would be speaking german now and don't forget it . P.S. if the idiot driving the tractor had a working fire extinguisher on the tractor that never would have happened . a note , your brave fire bobbie lads ran the other way when good old seller field reactor caught fire from a core melt down. they had to go into movie houses and pubs and high jack men that did not know the danger and make them push melting fuel rods out of the core of an out of control reactor with poles ,with intense radiation all around them . thats a fact , they used innocent civilians because your fire bobbie lads had no balls and refused to do it. ( MAINLY ' COS YOUR LADS DID NOT BRING THERE BALLS WITH THEM) you know all about that now don't you. have a good one mate.

That was a nasty and ignorant comment about u.s. firefighters, who took a great big steaming crap in your cornflakes?

That's because they are retained

On call firefighters. They all have other jobs and have to attend the station either from home or their place of work. It can take up to four minutes for the appliance to roll so in effect their attendance time was pretty good. Unfortunately when a town has low risk categories they don't warrant a full time station as the cost would be prohibitive. It's just the way things are I'm afraid when you live in a rural area.

@@Biffo1262 and Retained staff cant claim any traffic exemptions such as breaking speed limits or going through red lights when they are driving in their cars to the station .

Yes, it happens every winter!

Yes good film 👍

Uh, what do you think diesel is???? It's FUEL.... SMH.

@@ffjsb i thought it was water DA DA DA

@@wayneheigl5549 I'm not surprised...

Think the diesel blew around 3.55+,

I'm well I love John Deere that's the only kind of tractor made

Tan is the welsh word for fire

@@edwardowen4488 ok thank you for that

I don't think you know what spontaneous combustion is....

@@ffjsb I think the term was being used loosely...

No need for BA no need to get closer, just steam at the end.

@@johnbratley6926 exactly they got the fire knocked down quick enough

The smoke was blowing away so there was no need to wear BA and BA takes time to put on, it's quicker to get out and fight it

@@jamesevans938 3:55 oh my god

@@johnbratley6926 WRONG. Ever seen a hot hydraulic line blow??? BA isn't just for smoke.

Needs no such thing. Where did you qualify, McDonalds? Fire was put out quickly and successfully. There was plenty of pressure, hence water coming from those adequate hoses.

Take it you are from the US. In the UK, no fuse, one fire engine, job done in munites. You only need bigger hoses once you get there scratched your heads for five minute pointing at things and laying out big hoses, then everything else is on fire you you need 20 more fire engines.
