Massive Fuel Tanker Fire on I-25 Near Denver, Complete HD Fire Department Footage 

That is everywhere people are to busy on the phones and dumb whats going on around them.

Screw that, and let the same company that demonetized you take a cut? Open up a patreon! Or something that takes zero cut for showing the general public what our heroes have to put up with

RU-vid are like a shady insurance company that alway comes up with ways to not pay-out.🧐

Удачи вам в не лёгком труде и сухих рукавов

Never thought of that but it really makes sense.

true tho

Well, in the U.K. you get the ticket. No excuses for going through a red light. It’s mad. And stupid.

In other countries you might get a ticket for not getting out of the way.

@@marks2731 you don't have to go right through, just pull forward enough, done it lots of times in UK

Yeah, in Norway it’s the opposite, here there is almost no vehicle that does not stop

I’m still in school and I remember our bus driver once ran a red light to yield to an ambulance, traffic with the green light let the bus driver & the ambulance go. Our driver really deserves a reward.

Seriously? You are kidding right? I've driven long haul semi's on sheet ice in the dead of winter on steep hills, that is dangerous, driving these trucks through traffic is NOTHING. Now I drive 70,000 articulated busses in heavy traffic with maniac drivers cutting me off and slamming their brakes on in front of me, THAT is stressful!

@@peterjones4621 Bruh, that’s not what he’s talking about man.

@@peterjones4621 Imagine going 90 in a 55, I bet you don’t do that. I hate people like you, we try to give people credit & you come in the way telling us that they don’t deserve the credit, because it’s easy?? these people might have saved your life.

Being a firefighter and Chief, of 34 yrs of service. Cannot believe, it took, so long, to get a water source. Especially, with a large, city department, like this. Hopefully, this was a great, lesson learned, and will help improve, there future incidents!

@@diggitydog2383 I'm so glad our safety region has invested in dedicated water tankers, dedicated pump trucks and hose trucks. When water is needed where it isn't readily available, they can order the units to the nearest water source and start rolling the hoses out, filling them as they are being rolled out.

Shadyn Ebey that shits a felony, I believe, too

I can't help but wonder if that level of stupidity has something to do with weed being legal in Colorado. Just sayin'.

You can BET MONEY that if I have to fight morons through traffic to get to my scene.... I am shutting down the WHOLE of the lanes for the safety of my crew. And it STAYS that way til the wrecker leaves.

Shadyn Ebey ikr like get tf out of the way

it does explain all the motor vehicle accidents every year

thats denver for ya. dont give a fuck about ANYthing cept for themselves or whatevers on their goddamned cell phones. -while driving-.

Was thinking exactly the same. But I suppose its difficult to concentrate on browsing Facebook and driving at the same time.

Ikr

kcgunesq, this is how people are here in Denver. Only car about them selves.

Yes but sometimes the firetruck is just making dumb decision. Just because you need to turn left on an intersection doesn't mean that you need to use the left lane. Take 5:35 for example. The right lane is almost empty with just two cars sitting on it. Why on earth would you choose to box yourself in by using a full left lane with a full lane next to it?

Exactly! Thats why they have loud horns because they be trying to get to their scene of the emergency call so thats why they always blow the horn because they need to move they be in the way they need to move

I wish all emergency vehicles had the blaring siren and loud ass horn that the fire trucks do. Nobody wants to get in the way off that, lol

its colorado people are bad drivers here or everyone is high. lol who knows?

In order to move out of the way, they need to move the vehicle to one side, stopping the vehicle would just hinter the emergency services

What do you think thats America that doesnt happen in Eu

Foreigners tbh, not colorado natives, they need a giant cow catcher for all the sheep

NO FUCKING SHIT

BEST OF DASHCAM EUROPE some places you get drivers that don’t care. where i live it’s illegal to not give way to an emergency vehicle. just depends on the place

I'll never forget when I saw an ambulance stuck behind a van in the left lane. The van would not move over. It literally just slowed down to 20 mph in hopes that the ambulance would just go around it. Never seen anything like it.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life ㅡ John 3:16

Most places a lot of people either don’t pay attention, or don’t care and are CONVINCED there is no emergency and those trucks and cop cars just want to speed, so they don’t move. I personally think fire trucks and ambulances should be equipped with push bars and should be able to move cars that arent getting out of their way

It's always been a problem. People do not pay attention and have pea brains. It's especially infuriating when there is a true emergency in the back of our ambulance, and traffic not paying attention forces us to hit the brakes over and over which throws the EMTs/medics around in the back and delays our arrival to the hospital, both of which reduce the chance of patient survival. People are selfish

That's the first thing I thought. Amazing how people sit there and watch an emergency vehicle with lights and siren and decided that they're gonna keep on going and make the fire truck wait.

obstruction of emergency vehicles is a crime in germany.....

@@real_doombastic it is in the United States as well.

dOOmbastic Here in US, too. Rare in the South, but this is Denver.

They r on emergency also rush to the toilet meh hehehe

Watching this remembering living at Orchard & University many years ago. This must be close to where I worked at Allstate Regional Office off I-25.

Thank you! I was wondering what the outcome of the driver was! Did they ever say what happened to cause this

It was fuel adding water to fuel doesn’t do sh*t buddy. Your so ignorant it doesn’t shock me that you didn’t know that maybe just maybe they let it burn out all the fuel and block off traffic to not waste water by doing nothing and letting it explode from a safe distance.

I think he dead, guys

did u

Lol

@@mal1286nobody asked

Allison I saw the smoke from Lakewood. Agreed, these firefighters/EMS/police all did a great job in managing this level of emergency on the busiest highway in the Denver metro area. Great work and great response.

One of the busiest intersections in the world is I-25 and Colorado Blvd.

@@MrDeedsly live right by that intersection, just about every day 1-2 accidents happen.

good for you.....

Why are people in the comments pressed about this lmao

Seconds* sorry im not trying to be rude just helping

People in the comments upset that people in other countries actually follow the rules lol

Nobody in America knows how to drive, you only have to get like a 7/10 on your behind the wheel test. They honestly hand license out like candy 😂

You creep.

@@jolly25071 what'cha wearin?

What is the purpose of Command and Control if not to get water supply lined up for the Truck? It wasn't the responsibility of part of the Truck crew to hike off down the expressway to find an available hydrant. Shameful of the Commander on scene.

​​@@michaelviens4728 if they have nothing else to do then it is their job edit: are you talking about the engine when you say truck? either way there was enough personal there to split up and try to grab a hydrant earlier

Yep

I don't know?

Mason Cotton @44:39

not faster then a lambo.

@@Zesmas who asked bro

@@Zesmas ya don't say

@@Zesmas no shit. A fire engine weighs a mutlitude times more than a lambo, HOW would a FIRE ENGINE, something that CARRIES WATER TO A FIRE, move faster than a lambo

Yep

For like the 5th time

That looks very bad

Lol, you responded to this video twice. One year apart!

Lolll

This Department (South Metro) they run both the municipal and airport stuff for the area. they have 3 ARFF rigs all of which are kept off-airport property at 2 sperate stations (both are only a few min drive from the airport but not on it), makes it a lot easier for them to use those truck on other fires.

@@nickbricks8017 yep Red 1 Red 2 and Red 3 awesome trucks!

Red 1(the big one if I rememeber) is multipurpose in SMFR. Its used in the winter during heavy snowfall, used at fuel fires if they are large enough or Airport

"...are always stingy as fuck about leaving the airport..." No they're not. Adults lose that kind of attitude sometime around the time they decide to be responsible.

Ich glaube das Feuer brennt noch immer. Die warten bis das Feuer so gut wie aus ist, und dann warten die Feuerwehrleute bis es wieder brennt. So bekommt man das Feuer aber nicht aus.

Hundert man und kein Befehl.

Matt D technically you are supposed to continue through the intersection and once you have completely gone through the emergency vehicle has the right of way. But for the people waiting at the red light were in a predicament because they really couldn’t go anywhere. But i understand what you’re saying.

While I am a strong proponent of slow down/move over and yielding to emergency vehicles, that dump truck may not have heard the fire truck, medium duty diesels can be loud, especially the older ones, it also seemed like he was loaded down and back from the intersection a ways when he started rolling, so by the time he would have heard/seen the engine at the intersection while focusing on shifting and making the turn at an appropriate speed, he wouldn't have been able to stop in time to allow the engine to move forward. The rest of those jackasses should've pulled out of the way, especially that white service body on the freeway that thought he could outrun the chief

Lack of training for every scenario. There was absolutely no reason to not just let the fire burn itself out. No hazmat cleanup. Looks like it finally did burn out anyway. LOL

@@sharingthetruthfromalaska9888 it would’ve taken HOURS. There’s people on the highway trying to get home. The firefighters did great.

Same

Haha but it wood good comment

The Stig the city needs to evaluate the fire hydrant situation. Maybe duh a bit closer to major highways.

The city would have a pissed off (/and broke) taxpayers situation if they installed hydrants every few hundred feet along every highway. Better idea: They should only install them by the highways where the fires are going to happen.

What You Haven't Seen how are they suppose to predict where fires are going to happen

So you mean to tell me the other engines are saving their water for another fire? Interesting.

Good catch! I was wondering when someone would notice. (Some people are so focused on finding and pointing out typically nonexistent or misunderstood problems that they miss seeing what’s right in front of their eyes.)

What You Haven't Seen Don't forget, YOUR INCIDENT HAS BEEN UPDATED!!!!!

JoJo Dad

:p

JoJo Dad I

Samuel Vasquez they had the traffic still moving on the very last lane & exit before they got to that part they blocked off . So people were still moving . Just all going to one exit

💀💀💀

I was in that traffic. came from Durango to pick up Granddaughter flying in from Houston. This made me 2.5 hrs late picking her up. Fire crews did great because we travelled back past that from airport & was clean and easy. kudos to the fire crew...oh and I did sit at 1 traffic light for 8 full rounds.

@@TeekiDoll this was in Denver

@@myadventuresincooking6331 yes, I got caught up in the traffic from this trying to get to DIA

Want to be more upset? If an EMS or Firetruck swipe you because they couldn’t get past. They’re responsible not the person who didn’t pull over.

@@coyoterx6002 actually the people who didn't pulled over they are responsible not the firefighters

David Reviews If it went to court the driver of the non-emergency vehicle would be at fault. As far as the fire/police/ambulance departs go. If you trade paint with a vehicle that didn’t move out of the way, they see it as the emergency vehicle operator driving reckless and the driver of the emergency vehicle is going to be written up for that. As well forced to attended a recertification course for driving emergency vehicles.

If an emergency vehicle with siren on runs a red light and crashes into another vehicle going through a green light, its the emergency vehicle driver's fault

@@henriknrr2458 no the emergency vehicle has the right of way and the driver of the car has to yield to that emergency vehicle

leonjones12 take a shot every time the computer says that. Lmao.

It's so annoying

leonjones12 damn it! I posted a comment saying that and was scrolling thinking “I’m the only one who said that” and I come across your comment! Damn you 😂

Don't worry, your incident has been updated.

Please click OK. Then shut this bloody device to "off".

Its there for the foam i'm assuming they carry large amounts of foam to battle aircraft fires with jet fuel whereas standard engines carry limited amount.. tons of water wouldn't put that thing out without foam to smother it

@@dacrew5779 foam also breaks water tension making the use of less on fires, this is really one of the only reasons a standard rig would carry it. Well maybe auto fires or trash fires but foams rarely used

Exactly what I was thinking!!!!

Da Crew yes and airport tankers carry a different kind of foam because jet fuel is a lot stronger just like kerosene!!!!! way hotter burn and harder to put out and burns extremely fast

3% AFFF(Aqueous Film Forming Foam) most of our Foam units carry around 420 Gallons on AFFF. Great blanketing capability’s which shut out any type of Fire spread through fuel. It does need to be reapplied every so often because it tends to break down.

Look up cost of living and available housing here before you do...it’s insane! There is a huge housing crisis here now. Colorado is a beautiful place to live, just do research first. Good luck if you do.

South Metro is a really great department! they know what they are doing

Ok so you have no water or *Foam* what else are you supposed to do until foam arrives

Yep. I think more people need to learn how to ask "why", especial if it's pertaining to somones job and what they are doing doesnt seem to make sense.

Fuking pigs screwed it up/got in the firefighter's way.

Phil's Midwest Classic Cars you are Right

The Highway Department could include FIRE HYDRANTS along the freeways when they put forth a design for the roadways… overlooked in every State! Dumb and Dumber in charge of building the Freeways, there is a major waterline off each side of the freeway and only needs an occassional lateral line to the side of the road.

I’m too lazy to read all of this

Evotic bro tf it’s because he doesn’t want to hit cars or hurt anyone. Plus it’s a big vehicle. Big vehicles can’t accelerate fast so bro be chill man and they have to get through the traffic cause on some highways there’s a lot of traffic

I had a stroke trying to read that

Because its America

because its high hippies in colorado

in germany you can get a fine for that, i think the usa should fine them too, it could save a couple lives and should bring down cost in general

I have seen it first hand in Colorado no body pulls over it pisses me off

David you can get a fine, failure to yield to emergency personnel

What does that mean tho

@@plesedont1720 i might be wrong but i think it’s just the system trying to tell them there’s an active shooter because that’s what some other guy said but i could be wrong
