I really like those hoses. Sort of like a pressure washer. Easy to manage and get right to work. American hoses are 1 1/2" for a call like this and are cumbersome.
Ok. Am I crazy. I can hear electrical short circuiting and arching going on. Why would the fire services fight what sounds and looks from the location an electrical fire with water from a hose and create a bigger danger with a live current either traveling to the hose or the water on in the ground ? I tight some other non conducive medium would be used but they just jumped out with no assessment and basically rolled out the hose?
Contrary to popular opinion high voltage electricity does not conduct through high pressure water jet I know as a fire officer of 30 years all officer s attending Moreton in Marsh fire residential college carry out practical drills with 55 k voltage cables in a fire scenario to demonstrate even Russian fire officer s paid to attend the college In fact pure water is a poor conductor of electricity it is the microscopic particles of detritus in the water that allows it to be such a good conductor of electricity
@@alexandersalarms5380 here you might see the fire truck come to a complete stop, and without any rush, they still might have the water running within 20 seconds. With high pressure and low flow rate the smaller amount of water carried on the truck can be used for a bit longer time before it needs to be hooked up to water supply, either a hydrant or an open water source
The electric buzzing seemed to stop just as they sprayed conducting water on the ground. That makes them very lucky in my opinion, if that was a few thousand volt supply line. The 240 volt traffic lights stayed on for another 1 minute.
Yes as the water was poured on It quickly doused the fire which wasn't going to spread anywhere and the water on the ground wouldn't hurt anyone as there was nobody around....I'd say it was pretty safe considering they got the results they wanted without causing further harm to property or life
Dude (or lass, Alex has become equal name), nice work. (i'm not a firefighter, but I know that our firefighters) assessed the situation and knew that using the D class rapid response lines from the tank itself will extinguish the fire The americans on the other-hand, it would have taken them longer to extinguish the fire.
I know that the American firefighters would have arrived sooner, with more resources, and would examine the basements of the surrounding properties for possible fire and/or smoke extension via the underground electrical conduit that feed into those basements. They would also check the electrical panels, measure the PPM of Carbon Monoxide throughout the buildings. If the levels were elevated they would provide ventilation and evacuate occupants. Based on the presence of those yellow barriers, it appears that some electrical work had been ongoing in the street, so they would also check nearby electrical utility holes for indications of possible problems in order to determine the perimeter of involvement. They would also summon the electrical utility to the scene to remove power in the hole.
I think it’s pretty sad and pathetic to compare and argue about the UK firefighters and the US Firefighters. Both are professional and put their lives on the line in the duty they carry out and honour! I bet 99% of people commenting on videos like these criticising aren’t even part of a Fire service. If you think you can do a better job.. go apply boots on tank on get your resi on and CRACK ON! My respect goes out to all Firefighters around the world.
The part that gets old is the fact that a video of a UK fire would prompt some folks to take it as an opportunity to badmouth the US fire service. I don't get that. If a firefighter wants to critique a video of a particular fire operation that occurred in the USA, by all means go for it. That way we can debate the merits of the particular tactics & procedures employed. But what is the point of some civilian initiating a pissing contest?
The first fire fighter I think was aiming to cool down the surrounding areas and not actually fighting the fire, the second firefighter started attacking the flames directly once it was confirmed that power was off, you can see even the traffic lights were disconnected.
@@josephrobichaud5198 I disagree, There is no persons reported, yes there is potentially life threatening but it is not time critical. Fire crews are not going to risk themselves and others without trying to get an idea what they're getting into. If they injure themselves or make the situation worse, they can't help anyone. I'm sure they want to go home just as much as the next common joe at the end of the day.
Very quick lines to the fire. Bless all the F.F. But in a lot of major American cities, they have forgotten that water is the major weapon against fire and they take their time getting it on the fire.
American Firefighters are too slow & Lose many structure fires. American Firefighters are IMO too layed back & methodical. Which is so so DANGEROUS in rescue situations. I certainly wouldn't want them to attend if I had a fire,let it burn itself out (SAFETY TO PUBLIC 1st), coz U.S. FIREFIGHTERS wreck homes anyway, everything they touch is pulled to peices belro 💯👍🤓
Great work👍
" NO COMMENT "😂
That was making a loud noise I couldn't get where the fire was. Hope no- one got hurt.😮
The sounds of the toilet

i'm still trying to locate the MAJOR fire?
someones electric bill is going up....in smoke...water on an electrical fault????
Where are the fire brigade
God bless you
Certainly a high voltage electrical fire
I was always told, NEVER PUT WATER ON AN ELECTRICAL FIRE? 🤔🤔🤔
なんでこの映像がオススメに出てくるねんｗ ホンマ謎やわぁ ┐(´д｀)┌
Spraying water on a electric fire???? That's smart !! 🤣
They do the same in America. And many other countries.. 🇬🇧👍
You can use water on an electrical fire if you know what your doing.
That an electrical fire! Very serious indeed.
Goodness me! Something exciting happened in Driffield.
What kind of fire made that noise.
Did anyone call the fire brigade?
THIS IS A DRILL, BY NO MEANS SHALL IT GET DISTINGUISHED! EVAAH

Sounded like a high voltage cable fault judging by the loud arcing sounds (11,000 volts).
Definitely some high voltage ;)
Need to get their RCD checked!
that is a LOT of electricity being unhappy
Fair play to those two who moved the ‘Road Closed’ sign whereas others just wanted to be spectators.
I think that it was very thoughtful to put a Road Closed sign there, in anticipation of a fire.
That is the best thing I have ever seen! You would only see that in like a really small village here in Germany.
Whoever dug that pavement up is going to have some explaining to do. Great video.
Короткое замыкание приводит к пожару! Видна угроза жителям дома.

ha ont peut pas dire mais ils prennd le temps les pompier
7:05 traffic light start working
Obviously not in America!!!
Sounds like a transformer fire, actually.
What's that sounds
Y a long time to respond?
how did they get that hose line set up so fast? american fire appuratus need to use this.
rubber hose reels ... pretty much the standard for a fast first approach here ...
@@EnjoyFirefighting Thats cool, american fire apparatus are usually a bit slower and it can take under a minute to get water on the fire.

@@EnjoyFirefighting That is good timing.
I was in jury sports when it happened
Noticed the traffic signal just went dark.

Omg I’ve been there
Electricity sounds very angry.

Hi - can we share your video, please?
flaming on the street...
Wait, WHAT? They sprayed water on an electrical fire? I thought that was like....a huge no no.

When any dept, shows up they will have no clue what's causing the fire, there job is to put it out. Hind sight is always 20/20.

@@josephrobichaud5198 You could still here some electrical pops as they rolled up and got out. Size up.
The driver of that car and the couple who used that road closed sign good on them for using their heads
nobody had the idea to take those plastic fences away before they burn ?
Traffic light power goes out at 7:04. Wonder if they turned off the local grid, or it was burned out?
Was turned off, in case of burning the light would have gone at the same time, while you can see that it turn off from the inside to the inside
yes the idiots are walking.
Who are those itiots walking past smiling. What funny about a fire
