I’ve had my ass saved by a national guard airport fire truck. They brought their boom truck out after lightning caused a fire at a series of large crude oil tanks. When one ruptured unexpectedly (and in a way it shouldn’t have been able to) they came and sank their truck in a field and started flowing massive amounts of class A foam on the fire. It knocked the fire down enough for us to get ourselves out of what would have been a death trap. It was so hot it literally was melting our fire hose, gear, and did 40k in damage to our truck. Hats off to the ladies and gentlemen working airport fire service.

I noticed that too. What the was San Francisco doing in San Diego? It's my understanding that there was limited crew on board her when the fire started. If I'm not mistaken, the origin was an amphibious vehicle below decks in the vehicle bay. I doubt that anyone was down there while in Port and 8s probably a contributing factor to why the fire got out of control.

When a French ocean liner caught fire in NY (I think) so much water was poured into it, it turned sideways and sank.

@gordonkeane6298 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah. That was the Normandie, at one of the New York City berths. It was being made into a troop ship during World War Two. The architect of the ship was in New York at the time, and asked to help, and suggest they let the ship be lowered into the water, but they wouldn't allow him access, and so the ship turned over on its side. It didn't "sink" as the water was shallow. It ended up being scrapped. And as others have said, the naval ship fire in the video was in San Diego, not San Francisco!

Considering plane can cost hundreds of millions, million dollar fire trucks seem like a drop in the bucket even though they are not a revenue source, even though they have a little over a third the the service life (10-12 yrs.) of a commercial aircraft.

With the airport hangers, they demonstrated an airport with quite a bit of pocket change; what about airports that don’t have the money for those fire suppression systems, what alternatives do they have? Would it be just the crash tenders or what are the options?

@isaiahbothamley6275 Жыл бұрын

These ARFF trucks (or crash tenders) are fitted with a structure panel system as well as hundreds of feet of hose and other tools to fight structure fires with handlines. There is also an adequate supply of SCBA for a team to fight a fire inside of a hangar or building. We also train for structure fires and extrication techniques as well. Our first call for such fire would be to a City Fire Dept to assist us, but yes we can attack and defend a structure fire if needed.handling. some airports are structured differently though.

Sorry to p--ss on your parade, the latest Airport crash rescue tender cannot compete seriously off road with a sixty year old Alvis Salamander ,an airport fire engine jointly developed by Alvis and Pyrene. Based on Alvis,s Stalwart 6x6 go anywhere supply lorry designed for the British Army, to supply their tank battalions. the Salamander despite its drawbacks can go anywhere and swims. Its six independently sprung wheels are arranged like the legs of a beetle hence its phenomenal off roadability ,each driven via a Rolls Royce B80 straight eight petrol engine , a Daimler preselector gearbox and Alvis Straussler X-drive transfer box. Think what a hi-tech Salamander in 8x8 form can do for an airports crash rescue service.
