- Car 8501 leaving an illegal burn to respond to a large field fire spreading toward residential areas. 5 total departments were on scene and over 10 acres burned. Westside Fire, Madison Township Fire, Bedford Fire, Hanover Fire, and Trimble County EMS were all on the scene.
Here in Toronto Canada I’ve heard about the tornados in Ky and neighbouring States. Prayers for residents and EMS.
During our peak fall fire season we deal with 3-4 of these almost daily. We like it when they're in the wide open like this, 2-3 4x4 brush trucks and a tanker is all we usually use. But most of ours is usually on the side of a steep hillside where a billy goat can't get to so it's all hand crews lining it and backfiring.
I was listening to this live on scanner radio app yesterday. I recognized alot of the radio talk here. Great job.
What county I have a scanner app also
Trimble County Kentucky
@@JASON8502 i thought i recognized the area, hi from Shelby County Fire 👋
Awesome job chief. See you have a lot of back seat drivers on how you should have done this or that. Well done, you put the fire out. Thank you to all your volunteers!
STAY SAFE ALL!! LONG DAYS WORK.
Get your truck in the burnt area. Then you can drive along the fire line and put the fire out. And in most cases the smoke will be blowing away from you. I have fought many brush fires that way.
you should look at getting some farmers with disks on tractors on call for these fires will help big time wish i was near when this happened i would have took a call and been there as fast as i could have for sure
You need a little skid in your pickup during the fire season. 85-125 gallons.
We all have them on our ranch pickups here in eastern Oregon. I have a 200 gallon on mine.
Wow that's got to be one of the largest field fires I've ever seen on your channel Jason. good idea by the Bedford tanker just dropping their water on the edge of the fireline
That was a quick decision made on scene, just because it doesn't pump doesn't mean it can't help stop the spread. Worked well.
@@JASON8502 yes a great idea it definitely slowed down the rate of spread
problem is with the angle of the truck you can't really see much except in the beginning
awesome idea with the tanker
Fantastic work sir😊😊😊😊
Is this in Wisconsin
I do believe you were pissing in the wind with the water can
I learned my lesson pretty quickly
@@JASON8502 lol
Nice work. Any idea what started it?
We were never able to find out. Our thoughts are possibly a hunter with a cigarette. We will never know for sure.
Just out of curiosity. Why wasn’t the structures protected with the engines and the brush rigs get in the black and work the head of the fire?
That was done which is why we asked for additional engines
What does an acre cost there?
Corn stubble fire; something city fire fighters never see.
Did really want to use that water can
Did they manage to get that Jeep outta there? And yes that fire was spreading fast. I wanted to hop through the screen and grab a shovel and help
is this in the same area where you got chased by the tornado years ago the street/hwy name sound the same?
This is the start to it, about 9 miles down that road is where I found it.
@@JASON8502 thought so i watched that event several times being a spotter/chaser
Do you not have a dozer unit in the dept?
very few dept. have that
I take it earning field isn’t common there?
What’s the siren at 1:27
Ambulance 🚑
@@rossnolan2883thank you
tractor and a disc harrow would have worked also
We had one, you can see it in the video at some point
Not fighting it from the black?
We were fighting from everywhwere, the wind kept changing and we were trying to protect the subdivision next to it.
Farmer should have gotten there ripper out if he could have
Tow harrows behind the truck quicker a fire break quicker the fire would slow down and starve as the fuel has interrupted 5mtr fire break around the perimeter and that would slow the fire down
Ex new zealand fire service here drag harrorrows be hind his truck to start fire break it works more you can piss around bigger the fire harder and presser on resources tankers should have front sprayers and the hit the paddock you be surprised how effective it is
Laughing at large field fire from California
This is for us lol
@@JASON8502 lol
Get a close by farmer with tractor and diskharrow let him go to work on that field you take care of the woods copy that chief
We did, you can see him at some point in the video
