NFPA requires an apparatus is to be staged a minimum of 100' from a vehicle fire in the event the gas tank ruptures or the vehicle starts rolling. That is why a bumper hose load is 150'.

The reason they parked far away is because they are up wind where most of the smoke is headed, exterior firefighters aren't qualified to wear respiratory equipment ie: the driver/pump operator also you have no idea if something is going to explode so you keep your truck at a safe distance and create a blockade so someone doesn't come plowing through, last you have no idea what is in the vehicle that could explode upon arrival

To all the people posting negative replys I dare you to wake up at 7am on a day off from work, or your vacation day, a day which you could sleep in but instead wake up get dressed as fast as possible drive to your local firehouse half asleep, just to put on about 75 lbs worth of gear in under a minute, climb with said gear up the side of a truck, pull up to the scene of a fire still half asleep help flake out a hose that weighs an additional 75 to 125 lbs hook it up to a hydrant then hold said hose that shoots out enough pressurized water to blow you off your feet, then unhook the hose walk it out, roll it up, climb back on the apparatus ride back to the station wash everything down including your gear. I would love to see you do that everyday for a month then lets hear you criticize and complain because until you have worn the gear and put in the time you have no right to judge.

@Ken61515 жыл бұрын
I was a volunteer fireman many years ago. Getting in too much of a hurry gets folks injured. The hose is folded so that it comes out of the storage compartment without tangling or or getting knotted. It must be mostly stretched out before pressurizing it. These firemen were not goofing off. In vehicle fires, tires explode, fuel tanks do so only occasionally. Shock absorbers can explode and sometimes shoot out like a rocket. The postal worker should have moved the mail farther away-- an explosion could have destroyed it.
@EnjoyFirefighting5 жыл бұрын
Not being in a hurry too much is still another dimension than this kind of slow ... I remember a video from Switzerland. A fire truck arrived on scene of a vehicle fire and it took them less than 30 seconds to get the water running from the moment the truck came to a complete stop

I am a volunteer firefighter and yes this fire crew was not making much effort to get the job done. The mail should not have been put next to the burning vehicle and fire crew could have moved it. Poor maintenance and poor daily vehicle check helped the cause for the fire. Also the bad designed and built GM chassis a partnership of GM and Postal Service.
