Right! It’s an Oshkosh P-19 for sure. I sure didn’t expect to see that.

Which dept does it belong to?

@@cdmartin194 I did some searching earlier and it’s shown in several photos on the Ellsworth FD Facebook page so I’m guessing it’s theirs. Ellsworth FD also has a really cool and unusual looking wildland tanker type rig built on an Oshkosh chassis too. It’s not like former airport rig, it’s more like an Army flatbed transport they had outfitted for firefighting.

@@SixbyFire kansasfiretrucks.com/regions/north-central-kansas/ellsworth-county/ellsworth-fire-department/ They have a ton of neat brush trucks. The HEMITT is probably the coolest

@@Redchew10 Thanks for the link! Yea, Unit 515 was the one I was referencing that was cool and unusual. I see they have several other ex-airport rigs too. Neat variety for sure.

Not sheriffs, nurses or teachers?

We had four squads three tankers I know Lincoln County had at least one Squad and I'm pretty sure Ellsworth had at least five or six trucks and as far as Personnel I don't have any idea honestly we could have done it with half the trucks but you just don't know

@@jrockyhill better to be safe than sorry. the wind could have kicked up even more. better to have more and not need it then to not have them and need em. my thoughts anyways

Brookville

Weak spot in the pipe I suppose

@@jrockyhill wow

I’ve welded on and helped build pipelines my entire adult life. The problem is not the pipeline, it’s the people who own the pipeline. They do ZERO maintenance work and run them till this happens EVERYTIME. After the line blows down and the fire goes out they’ll dig it up spool in a pup fill and purge the line and business as usual. Till it blows again.

Someone may have been plowing, or ripping the ground and wasn't aware that a natural gas pipeline was buried just a few feet underground. When the ripper toorh,plow,etc.. hit the pipe,a hole was ripped in the pipeline. Natural gas then was released from the pipeline, and stain electricity/heat explosively ignited the gas. The person operating the machine is most likely seriously injured, or may have been killed. Always call 811 before you plow,, rip,or do any kind of digging where you may inadvertently contact underground utilities. Your life may depend on that 1 telephone call. By calling 811, utility companies will come to your location free of charge, determine whether any underground utility lines are present,and determine and mark the location of any underground utility lines for you free of charge!

But then you tear the hell out of your pasture for a long time trust me it's a lot better to just put it out the grass will grow back beautiful I know that our style doesn't work everywhere

Probably four hundred yards

No,because a natural gas well didn't blow out and ignite! An underground natural gas transmission pipeline was punctured, and the natural gas violently ignited! To fix the problem, the gas distribution company has specially trained personnel to address the issue!

I bet you'd love that

Go have a cold shower. 🇬🇧👍🚿😁
