I appreciate you watching and yes everybody was safe and no injuries reported.

I have always found the best approach to a garbage truck fire is to have them dump the load and work from there. Yes, it will leave a mess but you will save the vehicle.

I hope you are not a firefighter, ……. That is the most bone headed thing I’ve ever herd in my 38 years of firefighting. So you want to just expose the community with hazardous waste and materials just floating down the street…..how about containment?? Keeping everything to a confined space or area making it a content fire….. man what a bone headed statement..

That is painful to watch. Its time for retraining

Had a trash truck catch fire on the road into town where I live a couple weeks ago. They must have dumped the load while it was on fire, lots of burned grass and pavement around where it happened. All cleaned up and gone within an hour.

Looks like it's using a Curotto-Can setup. Neat.

I've seen tens of 'trash truck fires', but this was the first CNG fire. This was also the first to see brand-spanking new tires brought (one would have thought there might be enough 'used' ones lying around) so the truck could be towed away.

Maybe move up so the water actually hits the fire

“But they burn cleaner fuel and are better for the environment.” Yeah, look at what a huge f’ing mess it caused. If it was just a regular garbage truck fire, it would’ve already been put out.

Even though the ash from my wood burning stove was 2 days old and "cold" when I put out for pick up it evidently caught on fire when the trash collector tossed it into the back of the truck. I got lucky and the trash man was able to pull out everything that was burning and throw it on the ground. I only had to clean up a medium size mess and have dirty snow for a while in front of the house Wow! that was a close one. Could have been expensive.

It always blows my mind - this is one of the richest counties in PA and all the departments are VFDs...

Fire out don't waste water have fun

At least they used "A" foam

So, how much carbon did that CNG prevent vs Diesel?

This is when you pull up and empty the deck gun on it….. very large volume of fire with potential explosion of CNG. F the hand lines until you get a supply line hooked up then bring hand lines in

What caused the 🔥?????? How did the 🔥 start???????

Les interventions des forces américaines son tjour impressionnante

Between the 75-150 gallons of diesel fuel, the 40-50 gallons of Hydraulic Fluid and what ever trash the truck has and what that contains.. these fires are a nightmare... I cannot even imagine when an electric Garbage truck would go on fire, then you have the 40-50 gallons of Hydraulic fluid, the garbage and the Lithium batteries that burn forever and water has a hard time putting out..

I dunno what the best approach to a huge EV trash truck fire would be, but for small EV vehicle fires, sometimes the best first step is to move the burning vehicle away from anything else that could burn. To do this, many fire departments have been equipping all their apparatus with TOW CHAINS so that when arriving at an EV fire, the first task (after rescuing occupants) is to hook on and DRAG the burning vehicle to some vacant spot. That way, if it takes hours and hours to put out the fire, the firemen don't have to also be protecting other vehicles or structures at the same time.

I thought CNG trucks are zero emissions:)

A lot of bin wagons catch fire because lithium battery have been put in the rubbish that still have charge in them, in the uk there special bins at super markets to put them in including vapes

The 5" supply line was off of Rescue 13 which was up the street around the corner at a hydrant. The firefighters with the help of bystanders must have been already pulling the supply line down the street as Squirt 13 was arriving which I believe is why the Squirt didn't lay into the scene. About 25 seconds in You can see the supply line on the back of the Squirt is still is place with the tarp strapped down. If Engine 225 entered from Edgely Rd they wouldn't have had a hydrant to lay in from without dropping it across a main artery. The other hydrant that Engine 10 established the second water supply at is further down the same street past the fire.

4:43 get closer water is hardly reaching

Might as well toss that garbage truck in the recycling bin ♻️

This one must smell amazing, mixture of sulfur, old tuna, and baby diapers I imagine. 😂

How ironic, the garbage truck is now the garbage....truck?

The fire will go out if you walk up and put it out

Using foam on one side, and water on the other... It's clear these guys have no idea of what they're doing or why...

With all the ads for lawyers talking about firefighting foam,why are they still using it? Can't use CO² like they do for hazmat fires??
