Well done to the postie for getting the mail out and saving a lot of bill worries for some. Great fire service you have.
Love it how the intelligent fireman douses the saved mail with plenty of water
@@blitzroehre1807that was not water
@@joeblow8206 Yeah. It looks like some kind of foam. But they did douse the mail with it.
I'm the son of a retired fire fighter and certified fire rescue instructor in Rochester, Indiana. I would have thought the first fire truck would have pulled up ahead of the mail truck to allow another truck to be sitting where the truck is in video.
Also in clear air, fight it from the upwind if you don't have an exposure issue
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'.
I guess you could say that the mailman was carrying some "Hot mail" 😎
LOL
Your very funny that I forgot to laugh
@@emp1re. pp mm.
Some mail jokes, like yours, are not funny. It’s all in the delivery
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Greg, your photography is fire!
The Mail Carrier’s Creed reads something like “Neither rain not sleet nor snow nor dark of night shall stay this courier from his appointed rounds,” but somehow I think having your truck catch on fire definitely counts as an exception to the rule!
There goes my publishers clearing house check!
Thanks for doing your job fireman and carrier,, my mail arrived today, wet, black and had dried foam on it. Thanks for setting it on the curb during the disaster.
Let's stop and hope everyone is doing ok the paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard love and appreciate you guys great job great catches as usual way to go ! Joe
1:18 a tiny explosion 💥
Airbag
Yeah
Thats the tires
@@firealarm8 i a new job is going up in August for me and for some of these
I'm thankful for firefighters.
You're Not Alone
No urgency in these guys! Jeezzz! Oh, backup guy, dont forget to strap your helmet!
They are doing the right thing by walking and not running and having an accident and creating another emergency! They are also 80 to 120 pounds heavier with the weight of the gear, so don't jump to conclusions if you don't know what they are going through!!
Nice clip was going good there Keep up up the great work love the Maryland stuff some great Apparatus down there

Great work to all involved from the mail person to the firefighters. Reminds me when I was a volunteer firefighter I can not believe that we would fight a vehicle fire without "scotting up" once again great work no body got hurt
Thanks because my dad is one
Kudos to the postal worker for removing the undelivered mail from the truck.
Yeah, and to these firefighters for drenching it with an excessive amount of water/foam anyways!😂😂😂
Colin if stupid could fly you would be a jet plane
Hosea, I’m guessing you didn’t read my comment with the right amount of sarcasm intended.
Now I know why my mail was all wet and stuck together.
The truck went "postal" :)
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
From a mail truck to a fire truck
There goes YOUR mail-in-ballot. Over 400 vehicles so far. This one caught fire after the Carrier got out to go up to the house to deliver a package. As a retired Carrier I can tell you the USPS does NOT care about their empoyees safety, only the bottom line.
It's strange that no one worried about the mail carrier but was real happy to see him save some damn mail
Cvh
If he was able to rescue the mail, he's ok.
Thanks for the video. I work for the Post Office in vehicle maintenance. I arrived at work today to find this very truck (or what’s left) sitting in our shop. Obviously a total loss.
Any idea what caused it? My guess would be a hose leak or electrical, but I know these things get thousands (perhaps millions?) of miles on them, LOL.
When you can please if you are lawfully able post the cause of this vehicle fire and what detonated in the fire.
Ok......and?
I will air on the side of caution and just say nobody was hurt and as far as I know the carrier even got all the mail from the truck before it got out of control.
Are you kidding???
Pretty good video. Looks to be high quality.
Nice videography. Camera doesn't turn away at every slight popping sound, no expert advice or necessity in explaining everything, stable image, landscape format video, high quality image and no "bodies hit the floor" music at full volume during important parts. Music applied at the correct time however. Thumbs up from me.
lol @ bodies hit the floor. So true. These types of videos without the bloody music are rare.

Legend has it those people still don't know what they got in the mail that day
What a Real Rarity, seeing a American Fire Department using Foam against a Burning Car instead of flooding it for Hours with a Normal Water Attack ^^
Nice catch! Looks like it didn't take long to start burning fast.
When you drive on a road with wide lanes in a Mail Truck whilst singing "Three Times a Lady" by Lionel Richie, and suddenly you hit a sewing machine that fell off a black sedan causing sparks to fly out of it and ignite the truck with Flammable Paint Thinner.
Actually, it was most likely happened due to the fact that the windshield wiper fluid in LLV mail trucks is located above the engine control unit, so it most likely leaked causing the wires to short circuit.
Oh the humanity!!!!
@@allamericanwiseass2794 Poor Newman
There is going to be quite a few people not getting their mail on this day. Also a postal carrier who is going to need a ride & half to explain how this happen when he she gets back to the post office
1. You would be surprised how often these vehicles burn up.
2. Mail saved from fire only to be destroyed by foam.
3. Supervisor furious that you failed to complete your route. “There are folks lined up that will do the job if you won’t”.
I don't mean to be critical, but you DID fail to curb your wheels! LOL.
Awesome Video.
Now that’s what I call Hotmail
Glad to see the mail carrier removed the mail from the truck. My brother used to fix UPS trucks, had one catch fire and burn also.

Congrats on getting on inside edition. Aw some footage
I saw it
These type of maitrucks are antiques made in the laye 80s, thru early/mid 90s. Every year there are approximately 30 electrical fires, the carriers have been lobbying for more trucks.
Nice clear coverage of both the fire & firefighting operations. Subscribed!
A+ for removing the mail but it will have to be dried out over days because of the water and foam. USPS we get you mail to you rain sleet snow Fire and flooding.
Thanks 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
wow he must have done that pritty fast to get all that mail out damn boy your fast under pressure
I thought nothing stops the mail -- neither rain, snow, ice -- but fire does
Good job on the hose deployment. No rush either. Easy does it. It ain't going nowhere.
No need for them to rush. It was far enough away from houses and other vehicles that it wouldn't endanger them.
I hope nobody was sending themselves through the mail in this happened
Wow, someone on youtube that has a real camera and knows how to film
Jason G He videoed. No film here.
And most of all doesn’t start having some kind of seizure when things start getting good 😍
Fire buffs! 😂😎
@@jacobsmith5510 Yeah like the RMG news and Loudlabs guy. Their footage is 99% trash with the occasional shock and awe content generating most of the views.
@@melrose9252 He filmed.
So much for saving the mail! Even though someone removed it and put it in the driveway the firefighters still soaked it with water!
I am thinking from what I am seeing the hose was pointed at the fire not at the mail.😅
Wow how the people find out that they're mail got destroyed in a fire
Postal code..
Rain, hail, sleet or snow, we will go
But a fire will stop us...
Great video, don't know why I'm watching a video about fire....
Back in the mid 60’s our mail carriers car caught fire. 2 weeks later we received a plastic bag filled with burnt mail. Some barely identifiable. But they said they had to deliver what could be ID’d.
I spent 35 and half years carrying mail. I once opened a blue collection box to find that some jerk had dropped something burning in it. Some letters were barely singed, some were nearly all gone. Collected it as carefully as possible so as to deliver, or return what we could
@@dwlopez57 that would be a case for the postal inspectors, right?
awesome video wow a mail truck hope they got all the mail out
Look at the corner they did but the fire fighters covered them in water
By the end, that truck looks almost as good as new
This is why you don't have taco Bell until you've finished your work shift 🔥
That's why my package was late!

Good job guys
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.
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
What difference would that make, the mail was destroyed anyway.
How did that fire started? Hope mail and packages are safe?
Driver got all the parcels out to save them…then the firemen cover them in foam !
I know the mail van is destroyed but jeez American firefighters love taking their time to fight the fire
That's the definition of hot mail right there
Gonna be a hell of a report that letter carrier is gonna have to write!
Sorry guys... I was getting my mixtape delivered.
Good deal for spraying the foam from the beginning. If there's burning fuel involved and they use water, the fire can go on forever.
Be interested to know what started the fire
Nice to see the Foam was good for something
Slow getting off the truck but a solid use of foam
Fun facts, those mail trucks are made of mostly aluminum, and they don't have fire extinguishers.
That video was lit. That's why the scrap aluminum market crashed. All those burned postal vehicles. The turbo heater was switched on.
It amazes me how slow they are in the US when fighting a fire. In my country, it takes roughly 20 seconds from arrival until water flows....
It’s a mail truck with no life threatened and the mail was out. No need to run around like an idiot. It’s not a house fire. We don’t put ourselves in unnecessary harm.
yeah,i am gonna be the only one who talks about how cute that truck looks
I appreciate the U. S. P. S. Carrier that saved everyone's mail from the burning in the truck. It did get soaked by the fire fighting efforts, though.
WOW! This must be in the early early morning there's no one outside.
G.
Carrier didn't curb the wheels,here comes the PDI!😂
HOTMAIL!
I can't believe that. They didn't curb the wheels.
People from up the street: *that explains why I didn’t get my mail*
If that mail truck was in front of my house I would have had water on it before the fire trucks came !
I’m glad it wasn’t a rescue because the time the water got on the fire was ridiculous
There was nothing left to save
That doesn’t matter they should be all ready in the fire engine
it's a bit silly they should have been more faster and I'm fire fighter so that's my thought
Rob_21 doesn’t hurt me because when I’m on a fire I’m going to try all of my best to save as much property as I can.
It will be easier to determine what made the fire if you get it out sooner
Love the song at the end
I hope you're not using headphones or a turned up hearing aid.
So the postal driver saved the mail, removed it from the burning truck. And then the firefighters hosed all the mail down with water and foam. Well, darn.
These guys should have moved the mail back once they had knocked down the flames. But I guess that would be asking too much. Another thing, they sure did move slow.
The fucking mail is not their first concern Jesus Christ

@@knightd12 how fast do they have to move to make you happy?
@@jimmccabe801 Oh I don`t know, maybe just fast enough to show they give a damn.

No rush fellas..please take your time
Yeah because it’s a total loss anyway and it wasn’t threatening anything. Why rush and potentially injure someone?
New meaning to hotmail
lol
John Showers Or hot off the press!

Must've been the new batch of Amazon Fire TVs.
The mail carrier saved the mail from the 🔥 on the postal truck, but not the firemen, oh well
"Our government" at work. Thanks.
Week,
So much for the mail and packages thay unloaded in the driveway. Now there soaking wet.
They geyt soaking wet when it rains anyway
Awesome!! Beautiful video! My only question is why did they park so far back?
Might've wanted to stay out of the smoke, just a guess.
Occasionally the USPS Delivers Some Hazmat and Also You Never Know What People Will Ship In The Mail Now A Days.
U should ve been signed a firefighter named martisha
To make it easier to flake hose, when hoses have water, they are hard to move around.
Hazmat is my best guess, these day's you don't know what might be on that truck or what people shipped. Just a few days ago someone sent pipe bombs to some politicians
Our department just had a vehicle fire on thanksgiving
Don't seem to be in a rush. Surprised they didn't have a coffee break before
Someone bills was 🔥
Postal worker saves the mail but the firefighters drench it in foam & water! 🤦♂️
Guess he should have moved it further back.
@@greyman686 or the firefighters could've before they started their attack.

Home. Call me when
No excuse, he needs to keep going even with a flaming van as per USPS creed.
Happy no one got seriously injured.
Just saw this on Inside Edition
Me too, thanks to this guy for bringing awareness. ..government will recall Toyota, etc but hasn't issued a recall here yet. ..what's up?!
Nice video, not sure I would have been that close but god shot nevertheless
Demonracer2 I hear ya i mean I backed up as it grew. Being in the FD I had an idea of how far back to be. The call was right down the street from my house!
Greg's Fire Photography those are the best calls, keep up with the good work you’ve been putting out some good videos lately
Demonracer2 Thanks man that means a lot coming from you! You’re always putting good stuff out there!

Demonracer2 hi
Yes a much larger tire fire would be quite an explosion indeed as they are much larger
How did the fire start, was the mail safe, did the mail carrier get hurt
Wow that is long lay in.
Y
How did it catch on fire?
Nothing stops the US mail
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. It says nothing about fire.
That's what happened to my eBay order!
"Check's in the mail." Not anymore.
did he get the mail out of the truck
Postie saves the mail only for the fire service to give it a thorough soaking! 😆😆
So is this what Hotmail is?
