Quite the story! So sorry you lost that beautiful car!

I see what you did there....

😅

Thanks! I'll try my best. This one I was lucky as I was there even before the FD was called... and I just happened to be there. Pretty lucky!

Yeah I know. I don't even think he knew it was on fire until they arrived (as he was inside)! Not sure though.

@@CoolFireTrucks It really does suck for that kinda thing to happen, and at a burger place??? Did anyone by chance leak what actually caused it? And how's the owner doing? I would be p🤬🤬🤬

@@HannTheftAudio No, not sure how it started yet. May be due to overheating. Not sure about. the owner either. He's probably very sad.

@@CoolFireTrucks I believe it. That was my favorite truck as a kid, until my dad had the damn thing towed because the transmission quit working an

@@HannTheftAudio That's too bad

LOL yeah I'm sure he means that.

Yeah, I agree

Yes. My 69' Elky & 70' Chevelle are nesting safely in my garage. I cherish the both of them.

"Decent" vehicle?? I think the value fluctuated with how much gas was in the tank...

Thanks!

Thank you! Yes, it was.

I was very lucky to get this. Sorry you missed out!

I am too and I didn't know this until just now lol I remember last year I was passing in thomaston and looked to my right at dormant ice cream and there was a Prius on fire. I later herd everyone was ok but jeez. Cars catching fire in Knox county are becoming more common now

@@benlast3119 Here is that video! Maybe you are in it driving by, lol. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsBdfbpp1q3agHU.html

CoolFireTrucks just watched it but no I was not in it. I passed it before the fire trucks got there and saw the whole car on fire. From a distance I thought it was dormans on fire but thankfully not. The sheriff was there though and I could feel the heat when l drove by it. I'm glad no one was hurt. Good video though!

@@benlast3119 Okay, yeah I caught the fire trucks first as you saw and then followed them to the scene. I could see the smoke from a way off. I'm glad no one was injured as well. Thanks for the feedback!

I think he did a pretty good job. He let it wind down quite a few times, but I guess everyone has their opinions.

Always a critic out there. Thanks for being perfect. Your life must be glorious.

😅 lmao

Yeah, lol, but really it is unfortunate for him.

@@CoolFireTrucks Yeah indeed it is

Yeah, exactly 🤣. Thanks for watching!

Yes, sadly. Thanks for watching!

@@paulsheehan2741 Why?

Thanks! Yep, exactly.

:(

Yeah, unfortunately. 😞

Yeah

Yeah :(

Blame it on green bay male police department vehicle #76 at family dollars!!! Gemini twins 🤣💘

Squad 3 has a 750 gallon tank on board.

🤣!!! But they did respond as quickly as possible. I was recording even before it was called into dispatch, so they still have to get the info, dispatch the call, and then the rigs went in route, so that is why it seems like it took so long.

Lmao 😅

No, I did not. There was some conversation that I didn't want to include. Thanks for watching!

Yeah :(

Thanks! Do you mean you think the FD was on a second call at the time of this fire?

Well yeah unless there was a patient that needed transported. But it didn't seem like that. Where I come from in Ohio we call it second run in progress. But I believe so.

@@adamhenderly1602 I don't quite understand. It is normal for this FD take an Engine and Ambulance on calls like this. I'm not sure what you mean by "second run in progress"...

@@CoolFireTrucks I think they mean that the ambulance got dispatched to another call while on this one

@@Brian13549 Oh ok, that makes more sense. Thanks for the info!

They got another medical run while on-scene so that is where they were going. The operator of the vehicle was actually inside McDonald's when the fire started.

Nice, so that means tis one is right in the middle...

Good question! I'm actually not sure and was wondering the same thing. It wasn't me who said it, it was a wandering bystander, lol! Thanks for watching!

It's a molotov cocktail.

What do you mean?

Are you sure that was the issue? Thanks for watching!

@ Oh okay, I see

It all depends on the Engine or whatever rig is suppling the water. Most car fires don't need a lot of water, even though it may seem like it. Squad 3 in this video carries 750 gallons I believe. Thanks for watching!

Not really, there are only 2 guys on the Engine (Squad) and the personnel on the EMS unit had to get suited up while they were stretching the line. Pretty good compared to some other videos I've watched, but everyone has their opinion. Thanks for watching!

2 guys only on the engine? Engineer puts in pump and pulls the line while the captain gets his BA on. Captain grabs the knob, the line is charged and the box......forget the box. It’s a car fire.

@@herbiesnerd Yeah it was pretty quick with 2 guys... they did a good job. The EMS crew did gear up and join them though.

Yeah, unfortunately :(

@@CoolFireTrucks were there made that way? its my first time seeing a car like this.

@@Francois_Dupont You mean the El Camino in this video custom or real car?

@@CoolFireTrucks i looked it up and found out after it was a real production car. i thought it was a custum made car out of a sports car or something. i saw the pictures on google and its a shame they dont sell stylised car like this anymore. its a real piece of art. it looks very good.

@@Francois_Dupont Yes, it used to look good, not anymore unfortunately.

I will try better next time.

It is. Thanks for watching!

What do you mean?

Yes, I was lucky! The ambulance responds with the Squad as protocol. They can assist with more man-power as the Squad only has a crew of 2 personnel. And then, if another rescue is already out, the rescue that is on-scene with the Squad can respond anywhere if they get another EMS call. Also, some of the crew in the fire gear is the ambulance crew. Pretty complicated but to me it is a good system.

@@CoolFireTrucks ok i understand. Thanks

@@geoffg8840 👍

Very sad for him. I believe the owner was there but I don't show stuff like that due to privacy reasons. Thanks for watching!

I know, right 🤣. But it is sad for the owner though...

Happy meal exploded

@@donaldstrubhar4697 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, unfortunately :(

Think it's too far gone already though.

Sadly, it won't Buff Out 😢

@@P00katube No, sadly

And a new paint job cause that black and Grey isn't happening

@@norms3913 how about a new body?

Why?

@@CoolFireTrucks before the engineer pops the parking brake, that growler should be silent. Nobody needs to hear that on-scene. That’s what overexcited rookies do. And no, that not even close to quick. That’s a bread and butter operation. Train, then train some more. You put your turnout gear on before you respond, not when you arrive on scene. The net time maybe be the same, but the public perception of being slow, and the frantic urgency by the crew to get dressed all while on-scene leads to mistakes and criticism. When that air brake pops, it’s go time, not get dressed time.

What would be a fast "water on the fire" for you? Could you find a video and send it to me?

@@CoolFireTrucks On the trucks that carry water is a hose on a spool that is ready to go without dragging out and laying hose, The reel is pictured on this truck. Glad I could provide your answer. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9hnZbmXz7uzmps.html

@@casualobserver620 what you showed was a truck designed to fight brush fires or grass land fires.

@@timothyreed8417 Look at a fire truck. Notice that spool with the red hose? It's called a booster line. It's ready to discharge water when the valve is opened.

@@casualobserver620 i know what it’s called. The truck you used as an example is used for fighting brush or grassland fires. It has limited out put. 40 gpms i think. “Booster lines are designed for forestry service and are not make to be dragged o hard ground.” Not too many city departments used “booster” reels any more. A 1-3/4” has an output of 200 gpms and a 1-1/2” has an output of 125gpms

Yes the crew did a great job. By the time the PD got there the car was already fully involved, so I don't think the extinguisher would of helped. It would of just been putting the Officer at risk as he has no PPE.

@@CoolFireTrucks but he just looked like he didn’t care. He’s in a lot more danger every day from crazy people on the street and it would be from a car that was on fire. If I had been there with my personal extinguisher I will certainly gave it a try

@@Radionut Yeah I can see your point. I'm not sure what his thoughts were.

I appreciate the feedback, but I wasn't able to post the whole video for a couple reasons. 1) the video was taken in segments, so therefore, it is already not one whole complete clip. 2) there was a little bit of content that I am not able to post. Hope you can understand. Next time I will try to do better.

@@CoolFireTrucks No problem. Thanks for the reply.....

Really? Wow. I thought they did pretty good for a two man crew at first.

@@CoolFireTrucks not really i work with a great fire company and run a lot with a 2 man crew and we can have a line dropped and attack a lot faster then they did

@@jonathonbolton9479 Nice! How fast can you get the line charged usually?

@@CoolFireTrucks my fastest line charge was 21.6 seconds i have a video of a 2 man crew and im one of the crew members with us arriving on scene and dropping the line and attacking I can send to you once I get permission from my chief and the other crew member to send it to you if you would like and send me your info to send it to you and it took us 21.6 seconds to get the line charged

@@jonathonbolton9479 Sure, that would be great. Once you get permission, send it my way at coolfiretrucks10@gmail.com
