Hey there. Your typical ignorant American here. While pulling hose is slower than using a hose reel a well packed preconnect or bumper line should only take 20-30 seconds to deploy and only a few seconds to charge. and a deck gun is a mounted master stream which is (usually) only used for large fires like structures or semis. my department just got our first hose reel on an engine but we aren't supposed to use it for anything other than dumpster fires and decon. Not sure why but I'm pushing to make it acceptable to use on vehicles. as of now we cant.

Close too Vejle

Standard procedure here up i the Nordic countries. =)

you are indeed wrong. most US engines carry a 500+ gallon tank. the minimum to be classified as an engine is (I believe) 200 gallons.

Exactly, some of our firefighters are.poorly trained. But here's the thing, as a taxpayer, here in California, I wouldn't at all mind money being funded for training and equipment for volunteer fire departments as well as departments in a financially struggling town or rural area. I would rather have trillions spent on our fire departments rather than overseas.

Denmark

Ans here in the UK, I'd have dropped the camera and grabbed the garden hose.

Just start with all these vintage fire trucks quite many Volunteer Fire Departments are still using today. Outdated Com equipment is a problem too.

And so do we in Denmark. But why mention Tesla? Why not just say "Any electric vehicle"? By the way: I have been told, that the new Renault e-Megane Electric has a water connection connected direct to the batteries, so that the firemen can connect at fire hose and flood the battery.

Nach videostart war nach einer Minute der KDoW da und der Rest nach drei Minuten. Durchschnitt in vielen Feuerwachen in Deutschland ist 4 Minuten oder so. Schaum wurde nicht verwendet, weil er (anscheinend) durch das Feuer zerstört wird und warum sollte man eine Löschdecke für sowas verwenden? Bin kein Feuerwehrler aber soweit kenn ich mich mit der Materie aus...

@@florianix8272 Weil das viel schneller geht, weniger Grundwasser verschmutzt wird und ein Überspringen auf das Haus unmöglich wird.

This was no EV. EVs burn much different, just a regular Diesel or Gasoline. Electric cars and Gasoline/Diesel cars can both catch fire, but at least in an electric car it doesn't explode if the fuel tank ruptures.

You mean the electrical box 4 or 5 meters from the fire, that are not damaged at all?

Do you mean the mailbox? Or the washing machine?

@@florianix8272, to be fair, there is a electricity box and what appears to be a phone/internet-box 4-5 m. to the left of the burning car. But they don't seem to be affected by the fire.

The electricity box was several meters away, and they knew exactly where it was. The first responder had a Long time to assess the situation (maybe he was at home and it was closer than the station or the station was a part time station where everyone have to rush from their homes or work). Besides that, those boxes can tolerate a lot of water.

@@Xanthopteryx The first person was the chief, he drives himself when he is on shift. The engine was from the full-time station Vejle.

Such a fire is very hot, I don't think he could've walked by the car. Also I'm pretty sure he saw, that the house was not on fire. He removed the dustbins so they wouldn't trouble them later (fall over etc).

Well, You didn't see what he saw when he got out of the car, so you'll never know, do you? He might have noticed, that there was no immediate danger to the house, and he then removed the bins to get them out of the way, because he had already determined where the fire truck should be placed. He's the man in charge, and are making the decisions beforehand, so that when the fire truck arrives, he and they already know what to do. That's called " efficiency"

What? How is there a wrong side to that? They just immediately put water on it, and it went out!

Der Rauch stieg doch senkrecht nach oben - schräg ging der Wasserdampf weg.

Wenn das Video kurz nach der Alarmierung aufgenommen wurde, waren die eigentlich sehr schnell.

@@DavidLangeYU91 also ich fand es sehr lang.

@@Christin5554 Feuerwehrfahrzeuge können halt nicht fliegen. :D Bin immer noch der Meinung, dass sie recht schnell da waren, kommt ja immer auf die Einsatzstelle drauf an und die Entfernung zur Feuerwache/Gerätehaus.

No Electric car

Seems to be the tires

1. tires, than maybe the Airbags

This was definitely no electric car, they burn much different. The explosions (as stated before) were the tires, shock absorbers or airbags.

Die waren wahrscheinlich nicht zu hause. Am Werktagen sind ganzen Villa-viertel in Dänemark oft leer.

Bei dem Brandausmaß hätte ein Pulverlöscher oder CO2-Löscher nicht mehr viel gebracht. Ich bin, aber nicht dagegen es zu versuchen, jedoch muss man immer die Gefahr vor Hitze und Rauchgas abwägen

It is in Denmark.

Bredballe close too Vejle

Sorry to say it fella, What I've seen of US firefighters they haven't got a clue! A house would literally burn down before they decided to get some water on it. I've even seen them on top of a building poking a hole in the roof. The fire will spread straight away if they do that as it gives it air!! Who the f*ck trains these guys? Thank god I don't live in the US. They're bloody hopeless!!

Strange , America usually has far more advanced technique than Denmark. In one respect I am happy that Denmark is less developed than the US: We have one gun for a thousand citizens and obtaining a license is very difficult. In America I think it is five guns for each citizen including all mentally sick and children. Executions of entire school-classes including the teacher appears to be frequent in the US. I wouldn't send my child to school if I lived there.

@@0118uhauha I think you got something wrong here.... Sweden is always in front of develop techniques for fire compared to the rest of the world. When I became firefighter here in Denmark, we heard nothing else than we always learn from Sweden.

Well, that's the rule here in Denmark - you have to be prepared for the job from the moment you step out the firetruck. Everything you can prepare while you're driving to the target, you'll do that so you don't waste time from the beginning. The first seconds are the most important seconds if you have to rescue people from a house. There is no time to waste on things that could have been done prior to the task. You have to be so ready, that you can walk direct into a house in few seconds when you arrive.

@@OZ6YD Excellent, that's the way to do it.

Die meisten Feuerwehrfahrzeuge haben Schaum an Bord ( entweder einen 120l Tank oder 3 bis 6 20l Kanister) aber für den erstangriff wird immer ein reiner wasserangriff geführt und Schaum in der Regel für Nachlöscharbeiten. Wenn man das am Anfang einsetzt zerstört das Feuer den Schaum.

@@Sheppart92 Glaube eher er meint den ersteintreffenden Kdow. Gehe davon aus der hätte in Deutshcland einen 6 Kilo Pulver Löscher an Bord.

Naja Pulverlöscher sind in der Regel das einzige was du in einem ELW oder KDOW finden wirst und der ersteintreffende Einsatzleiter fährt in der Regel vor um die Lage zu erkunden. Ich glaube die nehmen nur dann einen Pulverlöscher in die Hand wenn es ein ganz kleiner Brand wäre wo kein großer Aufwand nötig ist.
