Good video. Thanks for sharing it. Never a dull moment in fire.
Brings another dimension to mobile attack…
Basics.. basics.. basics.
Chock the vehicle (if possible) before beginning attack.
Makes for an exciting retirement video though.
Good observation, that was my first thought as well. However I’ve been on a few vehicle fires after a 39 year career and I would have expected after a fire with that intensity and duration one or two tires would be gone and usually they don’t roll after that. Looked pretty unusual to me.
Very good training video. I recall about 100 years ago as a rookie FF my rookie engineer parked downhill from a fully involved vehicle fire. Everything turned out okay but had we experienced what the Norway folks did I might not be writing this today.
Be safe out there.
Fastest downhill ROS I’ve seen since the King Titus Fire in ’87.
