Having watched tens & tens of these 'highway' fires - usually involving trucks - this was the first one with a drone - WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Thanks

I have to say... It's nice to see a vintage truck still in service

Really good to see so many people out there helping, the amount of volunteers outnumbered the number of actual firefighters. If it wasn't for them this would probably have gotten way out of hand.

Saving as much of the load they possibly could and perfect co-ordination in handling the blaze, great job, hats off for these guys !!!

Hay on the deck not burning fire throughout the tractor/power unit and hay on the ground that is or might be burning the idea is to create a barrier between what is on the ground and burning and the Intact bales on the trailers deck. The volunteer firefighters can then work on the fire the other part of the video was fire fighters using a bush truck attacked the head of the fire I think to prevent the rapid spread into the bushes along the other highway at the junction.

Story of the pyromaniac telehandler :-) Did a great a job, even if he made the bonfire bigger by pushing some unburnt hay into it. Respect. The front 2 bale rows were burning from the inside, almost burnt through. It had to be separated from the unburnt hay. The 3rd row could have been saved, but that's not possible to tell from the ground: there were flames between row 2 and 3. Quick action was the best action.

What a great perspective, nice job.

That would be a fire attack in the form of removing the fire from the remaining fuels. It is isolated and will run out of the fuel it can reach soon. An added plus is the fire fighters can use more water on the vehicle and less on the hay.

@@retiredarthritic2083 My only thought was that since the truck was beyond repair, they could have concentrated more on the exposures and created a barrier area between the truck and the load. With burning fuel, water tends to spread the flames. However, their is always wisdom in hindsight.

The smartest guy out of all of these part timers is the pedi bone operator I mean with being a rural area the available equipment on scene there’s definitely a water storage and shipping issue that they were contending with so you need to be smarter than a hose understanding the future and current fuel source and go into protection mode of that source, his actions of getting the hot load away from the rest of the load while there were guys out holding a hose over the wrong areas, that dude saved the day preventing a potentially very LONG day and night with 6 minutes of smart work completed preventing hours of potentially dumb grunt work! It was killing me watch equipment show up and throw water in places that weren’t protecting the big fuel source.

To the video drone pilots: good shot! Interesting how badly pressed straw burns. But the farmer with his dozer makes things worse. First he distributes the straw bales so that they burn better, then he makes the burn area larger. It would have been better to shovel up dirt and pour it onto the burning straw. But the farmer was probably under stress, you can't think straight.
