Hats off to you guys! I'm a civilian, and I've only been face-to-face with a grass-fire once. It was in dry, tall grass. Flames must've been ten or twenty or thirty feet high at the time. Three of us were trying to at least keep the fire away from my dad's railer with rakes and blankets and buckets, but we were losing. Some local firefighters showed up in a truck just like this one and had the thing contained in what felt like fifteen minutes. Saved our bacon.

wow the phrase "you missed a spot" can really affect the outcome of the fire spreading

I know this is a volunteer dept. but if you guys could come up with a head set comms system between the driver and the firefighter, that would be extremely helpful in these situations. Great effort.

Brush fires are the worst. They can relight multiple times, the wind carries that fire fast and far and it can be highly unpredictable. These guys are doing their best. The only thing I would say is they rushed a little the first time up the fire line. You have to soak ahead of the flaming front to stop it from gaining fresh fuel.

Kicking ass as usual. Would be interesting to see what you guys could do with newer equipment and more staffing.

I'm a fire fighter from Abbeville sc. We have alots of woods and grass fires here may the good Lord be with all fire fighters

Sadly, I kind of figured I would see a video from you with all the heavy wind we've had recently. We had gusts around 55 here in NEK the other day.

I am a former Fire Chief from New Jersey who spent 20 years in Colorado. While there I spent 10 years working and training as a wildland firefighter.I Enjoy your videos that show a much different way to fight fires. What type of equipment do you use? Water tank size, pump size?

I felt like your driver was thinking about s’mores there for a little bit leaving you in the toaster there a little too long 😂 thanks for the hard work

The angle with the sun is poetic.

Great job. I know it's dangerous, but that looks like a fun assignment. Has anyone tried to use one of those water trucks that are used on construction sites, that have the big spray nozzles on the front and back? I wonder if you could just drive around the perimeter with the fan spray on. That would be cool if you could.

These guys are obviosly experienced just the way they use the fan on the hose and use of the truck been there done that for 18 yrs great video to show the new guys for training!!!

Absolutely killing it, my man if you had access to the shit the volunteer departments here in aus have you'd be the mega fire fighter.

Leaf blowers can work wonders in such low grass fires. Proven !

Very interesting mate can you explain why you use that branch

Yall fought a long hard battle I'd have you on my team any day you definitely earned a cold one

Grass fire so suck with that high of winds. Great attack and video. Have you ever thought of doing videos of your different trucks you respond in and info about them and which are your favorites?

Strong wind..take care bro

Did my guy just check the time while he was fighting fire!?

Makes me nervous seeing people fight fires without their scbas. Just watched my friends dad lose his life due to chemical burns in the lungs from fighting forest fires. Stay safe bro

Great Job! Still makes me nervous when you are in the green with that hard of a blow. Is that a tender or what and how many gallons is it? Tough fire to fight.

this actually looks fun

Hard to stop what nature wants

I didn't realize how difficult it was to drive one those fire trucks or hard it was to handle a water hose.

this may be a strange question but when you have to travel over terrain like this, if they could somehow make a brush rig like this but instead of having tires on it, they could somehow install Tank treads, would those make it easier to actually navigate terrain like this?

Good job!

It's an uphill battle with those winds.

Be safe out there!

Dude, do you have faucets that have sensors on them??? Open up and saturate it.

that is a Tuesday here in Australia

A spoon ful biodegradebel sulpho In EVERY 1000L water remove Surface tention so water Cling to the straws and Put out the fier inside the straw

subliminal fire

About 3 years following ur channel, starting to think you need a better pump setup, or a second independent pump to run a high pressure smooth bore line.

You guys really need to get some comms going on

The fire-eating Heroes !!!

Ground sweep system is you friend.

👍👍👍

nature's natural fertilizer

How many gallons does this truck hold? That was pretty impressive

"Jesse wake up we need to move the rv”

How much water is on that truck?

Deves usar o lado da forca da Agua para o lado da queimada..

Was that a Sterling truck or Freightliner?

Sprayin and prayin

Praise God they got it out

Fuck, I was supposed to go to sleep like an hour ago....

It looks so scary 🥹 it’s going forever

Looked like a volunteer rig? Those guys probably weren't even getting paid

Don't smoke kids. Let's the pros do it for you.

is this part of the reno county fire?

Why not have a sprayer on the front of the truck, kind of like a cropduster sprayer.

How come they couldnt soak the the grass and soil properly once while going forward rather then a quick forward and backwards.?

is that an old 2 stroke detroit??

Esque no hay un tractor para que pase arando y así no sigue el fuego

Is the cage on front homemade ?

When and where is your anchor, flank and pinch. I know u all are jus volunteers so am I but no hating I know you don't have the time to train🎉 or funding for it but best of luck. If u get a chance go watch( its jus a grass fire) good job kicking but.

Man that looks like fun! (as long as nothing goes awry) Lot's of FF's can get fooled by those. I recall one where I had taken my coat off...if I did'nt have the line I would've been in rough shape. Stupid.

Been there done that. We used to call the basket on the front the bitch basket lol.

Need a tractor and plow much?

I'm on the west coast. Never seen a firefighter ride in the front of a truck with a hose. Guess they don't allow that over here. Looks pretty damn efficient though! To bad you didn't have a dozer behind you cutting a fire break line. Would have probably helped with the re lights.

Fight the red stuff from the black stuff.

I thought as a rule you stay in the black.Looks borderline careless to me.

Huge grass fire and only one fire truck?

Did these guys steal a fire truck and are larping for the day? Wouldn’t last a day at my department.

Meanwhile i be pissing on it

Lil butthole of a fire didnt want to quit haha. nice job

草原滅火資源不足

Need some nozzle discipline when runnin off a tank there, bub. Can't fog into the wind.

don’t know how to work a hose or what are you doing bro

Riding on the bumper is a really good way to get killed brother. You can pull the booster inside and spray out the window if you guys don’t have spray bars

Trator grade more efficient

you’re in a fire truck with a ram run those twigs over bro

You tried. Better/more experienced wheelman would have helped.

Protect infrastructure and let it burn the land will be better off .Arkansas burns fields all the time makes grass come in earlier and it gets rid of under growth around trees

Who the F is driving? Slow down bro

i clicked like when it was on 911
