(Watch in HD) San Jose Fire Department has received multiple calls regarding a fast moving brushfire in the Santa Teresa Foothills nearly reaching a home 50 ft away but crews were able to prevent that. Due to the number of calls received, the call was upgraded to a TIER 1. During response, Battalion 13 has declared this to be a CalFire incident. There were 2-3 Air Tankers, 1 Helicopter (CDF Chopper 106), H106, many Type 3 Engines, and a Dozer on scene. The first unit to arrive on scene, that being Engine Company 18 requested a TIER 2 due to fast winds and the fire continuing to rapidly move at a high rate of speed. After Battalion 13 (Curie IC) arrived on scene, the fire kept moving at a rapid rate of speed, so a TIER 3 and eventually a TIER 4 was requested with mutual aid from Morgan Hill Fire, Santa Clara County Fire, Palo Alto Fire, and Santa Clara Fire. Fire was consumed up to 125 acres. Enjoy exclusive on scene footage of rigs responding and on scene, a Calfire Helicopter flying around and making water drops, and a Calfire Air Tanker dropping fire retardant!

In california during the summer you don't take any chances things can go from Bad to worse.Its better to have the resources then not have them and the fire take off.

I always dreaded seeing this Brush trucks when I was growing up. That meant the fire was way to close, dad would go out and set the lawn sprinklers to the fire cycle where they would spray for 15 minutes every hour.

The Santa Teresa Foothills have had fires all the time, for decades. I wish that would do more brush clearing there.

They have had numerous fires there over the years. I even saw a fire in the same area when I was in High School in I want to say 2011 if not 2012. This fire was the biggest I have seen a brushfire in these foothills.

@Tr35uckfanProductions 3 жыл бұрын

Over here, we have Type 1’s, Type 3’s, Type 6’s, and Water Tenders. Type 1 is a Structural Type Engine that runs on both structure and brush fires. Type 1’s don’t have off-road capabilities. Type 3’s, however, do have off-road capabilities. They have an approx 500 gallon water tank on them. Type 6’s are the small brush engines that also have off-road capabilities and have an approx 150 gallon water tank. Water Tenders shuttle water to Type 1 Engines when needed. The water tenders here carry approx 1500-2000(?) gallons of water. More info here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildland_fire_engine

when I saw that truck from the San Jose area, that really shows me that when there is a large fire like this one was, they will have units come from wherever they can, From San Jose to here where the fire was, thats almost 300 Miles, thats a long haul to drive a truck to a fire like this, but really do give these guys a ton of credit for actually driving that far just to help out with a fire like this.....then they have to drive the 300 miles or so back, but thats ok, if correct, the city pretty much pays for the fuel for these kinds of vehicles.....

+Andrew Silva - This fire was in San Jose, on the Santa Teresa Foothills between Almaden and Santa Teresa. I used to live on the other side in Almaden. There is a $billion dollars in real estate in that area.

+Andrew Silva CalFire units move around when other big fires are burning. During lastyears Butte and Lake fires, most MMU (Mariposa, Merced, Madera Unit) engines were sent to the large fires. engines from southern california came and covered here. them alternate out all summer. You dont stay in your area all summer, you get shipped all over. And these are not city funded engines. CalFire is state funded

At one time you could a long procession of CalFire engines running code south in the early fall. USFS engines would occasionally move south. I think things have changed a lot.

I want to say about 500 gallons, maybe less, I don't know for sure. Anyone let me know if I am wrong as I don't know my Type 3's very well as I hardly see them or know about them unlike your Type 1/2's and Ladder Trucks.
