The paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit your time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks to everyone who responds keep them safe out there job well done you should be proud appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe
I like listening to them communicating with each other, knowing exactly what needs to be done, knowing where to place each engine and working together calmly so no one gets hurt and they get it done as a team. My cousin was an EMS Tech and Firefighter for Waco,Tx FD and told me how things get done. Thank you all and May Our lord Bless you all and keeps you safe.
Thank you...he is a great chief...new video featuring him as IC coming real soon... "As for Taco Bell not being Haz Mat….. It is when I eat it…". or soon after right????
Any vehicle that’s made with resin-coated fiberglass is a nightmare to extinguish, plus they burn hot. Kudos to the firefighters who put their lives on the line for any fire, especially tractor-trailers. Question: Why would anyone drive through black smoke, not knowing the extent of the fire? Overwhelmingly stupid. Could also melt the plastic pannels off of a car. I’ve seen haz-mat tankers drive by fires such as these…kinda scary! Another great video! Had to be hot as hell even at your proximity.
Getting it out wasn't really an issue, getting to it was...I am shocked how many drove through it blindly and had to stay clear as to not get hit...it did get a little warm.
Yep, as soon as I saw the red pallets and he said Taco Bell I knew it was from our GPI plant/warehouse. They are just cardboard food trays. No biggie, we have a lot more in stock to replace this load. Any amount of smoke or water damage renders the entire load trash. So now if I see a rush on this product, I'll know why. As we do not load container boxes at our facility, I assume this was transloaded at another warehouse for export to Taco Bell restaurants outside of the U.S.
@@thejfrd2490 - It's just strange that since the advent of all this emissions control equipment on today's diesel engines, there has been a massive increase of heavy truck fires. Between that and electric vehicle fires, I imagine most fire departments across the country stay pretty occupied chasing all this new technology designed failures.
I would've definitely started a second tanker, especially when you have NO idea of what's in the truck yet. You can always cancel a truck easier than you can get one responding.
4:55 To whoever that is who figured out a way to turn lemons into lemonade, huge respect. Something tells me that's a crayon eater right there. If so, sempre fi, brother!
I think he was trying to assure it got done sooner than later...but crews were still arriving on scene...So I believe you are miss understanding it...he is a very experienced and smart chief on the department.
No professional fire department, or fire officer would attack that fire without first determining what the cargo is. That’s why they make binoculars. Stay back and make an assessment. Not to mention most of them are not wearing breathing apparatus.
Yes, binoculars to see what it's in an unmarked trailer. Respirators were only worn by the firefighters fighting the fire while everyone was outside in a well ventilated area up wind. Terrible job lol.
Did the drivers think this was a movie scene with fake fire and smoke I mean are they that far out from reality that they couldn't tell this real They were all driving like la la la la ain't nothin happening here
