Semi Truck BURNS at Ontario East TA

Roadkill, do they know what started this fire?

Also... you should donate the footage. that would be a nice thing to do as you could possible save lives by having other FF see this footage and learn from it.

 

so since i got wroked up from the fire'do i need to go down to line 4 because i am out of the sleeper.

 

Are you guys talking about the truck the got burned by Glen Helen yesterday?

 

nooo. This is in Ontatio, CA (LA suburb) in the East TA... like the heading says.

 

What a outrage. These guys fighting the fire are supposed to be trained! I took basic firefighting some 5 years ago, we learned back then that you need to use a soaping gun on anything oil based. Instead these kind souls are out there blowing away water at the tandem fire instead of trying to cool where the fuel tanks are. Granted the truck is toast, yet gees!

Its kind of like the keystone cops. In the first one you can hear the firemen asking truckers where the fire hydrant is.

 

or the deck gun.........surround and drown

 

As I am not a firefighter, common sense would dictate trying to put out the most dangerous portion of the fire first (the fuel tanks) and then hitting the fire line to stop the spread of the fire, then get the rest of it out when you've got it relatively under control.
