- Fire started in a front yard by unknown cause which was spread by 40+ MPH winds jumping several roads and a highway eventually establishing itself in a neighborhood where several buildings were lost.

On one hand, the wind kinda makes for poor audio....but on the other it gives you an idea of just how bad the situation is....
you know it's bad when you have an ARFF truck responding to help out..
it's actually the prefect tool for this sort of terrain. wide open terrain, plus offroad and pump+roll
hahaha using the airports fire trucks i guess it handy put them to good use when they never see fires on planes and stuff to offten
yeah
If that was the only airport tanker, then I guess the airport got closed :)
if theres a number and letter on the tanker then i dont thinkt that it was the only airport tanker
Great video - I don't think I've seen a tractor-drawn water tanker before. Interesting seeing the refill area too - nice work!
That's what is called a super tanker
Called Hot dog tankers ,I worked on one early in my career...5000 or 8000 gallons!
In Italy are common lol,the biggest brings 7396,8175 gallons of water if I'm correct
What one is that?
@@jeffreylane3686 about the tanker about I spoke?It's a Mercedes-Benz Actros 2044 that can bring 28000 litres of water.:ruclips.net/video/5BqhyEQLGOA/видео.html
Awesome video with lots of water tenders. In Finland the unit numbering goes like this.
-Trucks 01 and 02 are pompiers.
-Truck 03 is water tender.
-Truck 04 is foam unit.
-Truck 05 is pioneer unit
-Truck 06 ladders.
-Truck 07 extra firefighter transport/support unit.
-Truck 08 damage avoidance unit (in chemical accidents).
Doesn't always work out so cleanly with vast expanses in the American west. There's typically a numbering scheme even for volunteer departments in the middle of nowhere, but when you've got a big, fast fire, all the iron goes out the door.
That first tanker was working hard
1978 3000 gallons old but does her job
Wow, what a fleet. Pretty trucks and rare catches, nice job!
Added to favorites. Thanks a lot for posting this! I'm not used to seeing trailer tankers - here in Finland they use rigid trucks (not 100% sure about the terminology in English). Quite a fire you've got there. Hope the people that lost their property are doing okay and no lives were lost.
They could use a bit better lighting on those trucks they almost blend in with the green yellow color
Most of those tenders were built in the 80s and have there original light bars but I do know the district is in the process of building a newer fleet.
I thought they were amber lights at one stage
Now THAT'S a tanker Strike team! Holy Moo cows!
Most tankers I've seen in my life! Crazy!
Damn I've never seen that many tankers in my life, let alone all from the same district. To be fair, I do live in the suburbs of Chicago so there's only like 2 tankers in the whole county, but still. Nice catch!
Must have been BIG for the fire department to request the nearest airport if they could use their airport fire trucks.......
Andrew Silva oh that is what it is, the trashtenders in holland look different. I didnt recognise it
They’re definitely not going to run out of water
Holy moly that is a hella lot of tanker trucks you got over there in the States :O
Relay races with tanker companies ...takes so much time in rural areas!
Being from Othello I loved seeing the Grant County fleet.
Had to laugh when I saw the ARFF unit. That's when you know you're in some shit! I'm a volunteer down in New Mexico, but I've got family in Grant County, in Ephrata. Thank you GCFD for keeping them safe
I know I’m like nine months late to the party... but that Kenworth tanker at 0:53 is hauling ass!
This is a real all hands to the pump job
This is awesome! I’m from the Tri-Cities and I fire buff there all the time! It’s nice to see somebody nearby doing this.
I've watched many of your videos as well and they are top notch!
MLFIREVIDEOS aw thank you very much!
@@RichlandFireBuff Station 74 is an awesome station! With the right attitude and if you try and put in the work, you’ll get there!
So many Kenworths! Holy crap!
Great video
Very limited water supply in that area same as where I live so tenders roll quite often
Hay I think they need more tankers
I remember hearing about this fire on the local news down here in the Tri-Cities. I wonder if Franklin County sent up a mutual aid structural or wild land strike team?
Nice catch, I have never seen an airport crash truck go to a wild fire
That Oshkosh ARFF has a two stroke Detroit in it. That's old school.
detroit power baby you never hear that roar nowadays
That's where mutual aid shines brightest. You never hear quibbling about insurance liability etc. But then, firefighters all have the same basic standards and tactics, and accreditation is higher in departments with mutual aid agreements.
Is pale yellow the best color scheme in a primarily dead grass area? I understand most units won't leave pavement, let alone gravel, but it's something to consider in the ever growing wildland-urban interface.
Love that old Kenworth tanker in the beginning
Well, you can't say they didn't bring enough water to the fire!
You can never have enough water at a fire.
Yep cant more water the better most of the time we dont go code to a bush fire and soon we cant state of missouri we have it like unless it in dangaring a house or a car and if it spreeding fast
7:46 badass tanker 😈
I've never seen so many tenders going to a fire!
That is so weird most with a number 5 on them. Very confusing.
Now that's alot of tankers .
When your in the hinterland and the spaghetti is hitting the fan you look up and see a CONVOY of tankers .... And say THANK YOU Lord !
Ok, I figured what county by the side of the tankers. Wonder why in nearly all these type of videos what State the county or city is in is always left out.?
Howard3S I usually put them in the tags. This is in Moses lake, WA.
Man when eastern Washington burns it does it big!
how many pcs in your tanker task force?
Frank McGrath This district has 15 tenders.
Where did this occur?
I have to watch this again to try and count how many water tenders that was.
couldnt hardly hear some of the sirens because of the 40 mph wind blowing.
Budweiser plant... perfect water supply source.
Funny, but true.
Haha I didn't even notice that. Good catch man.
We fill up enwere no matter there a fire and need water fast yes there good places and bad but if need we use the bad but alway try go with the good
I know of several "Grant" counties, what state is this one in? Those of us interested in firefighting, especially those who have been one, like to know the department involved and that generally requires the state be named. However, at least 20% or more fire videos don't give enough information to identify the location of an incident.
So in reading the credits at the end it looks like this was in Washington state, funny, it looked like it was in New Mexico also. As for the name of the apparatus, it is a water tender in the vocabulary of the Incident Command System, the specified system for the entire U.S. Tankers fly in the air and drop retardant.
So can someone sum up the apparatus that this fire department uses? I knows it is like 6 tankers and two little brush but what about engines?
Moby This Fire district has 16 tenders, 9 heavy brush trucks, 3 medium brush, 4 light brush trucks and 15 engines as well as other specialty apparatus. The reason why there are primarily tenders is because they were shuttling water from hydrants and other bodies of water and bringing them to the engines and brush trucks. Engines typically only respond if structures are involved or threatened. There were several on the other side of the fire which I couldn’t get any pictures of. Hope this helps and thanks for the comments.
That's a lot of water resources right there
This did happened in Washington State
Should have had an engine at each hydrant, faster fills. We had a 6000 gal TT tanker.
Holy tanker-town!
Love that car motor roar in the oshkosh
its a detroit diesel 2 stroke, even a youngan like me know the roar!
Kenworth Country!!
That wind is CANCER
love the ARFF truck
Are the red vehicles town/city units or a separate county?
Most city and some rural districts are red.
Further down the road is that an accident? Did it involve one of the responding apparatus?
Negative, that's the DOT and State Patrol providing traffic control.
I see. Thanks
You know the fire gets serious when they use arff units
1:33 holy a crash truck?!?!?!
It was a rare catch indeed, the fire did make it's way onto port property (Abutting the main runway in one spot)
yep! they work great on brush fires and they haul ass!
Why do all the three axle tankers have the #5 on them?
Grant County has 15 different fire districts/departments the largest being district number 5 (Rural Moses Lake area) So it is just denoting the fire district.
Jeez the wind is real
That 6x6 m929 was moving
the tender at 8:30, tender 810, some dip$hit rolled it pretty good a couple months ago. pretty much destroyed it.
Chaka Gillis What a pity, it was a beautiful rig. Are they going to replace it?
it's the same two trucks filmed over and over again lol
Haha it looks like it but if you read the unit numbers they are different.
NO. It's many diff tankers.
When your FD has a tractor/trailer for a water tender you know you live in a super rural area.
Gas truck size tanker daammnnn! Lmao! Never gonna run outta water all them tankers too. That was a lot of tankers and that ARFF had me dying.
Would be nice to mention the state that this is located in.
This was up in Eastern Washington State
Cool video, guess they have a hard on for Kenworths!:))
Oh yes they are tough rigs.
Well they are the best lol
Is this the Okanagan Valley fire? Intersection and road look familiar
No this was dubbed the "Road 10 Fire" near Moses Lake.
@@MLFIREVIDEOS The town of cow farts...gotcha. lol. Lived in Spokane 2007 to 2011. Trying to get back.
That’s a lot of tankers for one county
They need to up date there trucks
Why? Their tankers. All their purpose is to dump water. If their not broke you don't fix. A new 3000 gallon tanker cost anywhere from 200k and up. This dept from an above comment runs 16 of these. Do the math.
Tanker rampage!!!
I thought I was watching a rerun of emergency some of the trucks are older then me loll give it hell boys be safe
Where in west is this?
jed-henry Witkowski Eastern Washington state.
Should have ur hand blocking the microphone so that the winds won't blow across the microphone....
What caused the fire?
Gab Esguerra Unknown cause but it started in someone's front yard.
You know its crazy when you send a crash truck to a wild fire.
That’s a lot of tankers
0:10: All Units Responding to Neppel Rd. Fire
Rip head phone users, only if the wind wasn't blowing in the background it would make good audio
Yup lot of equipment
you know its bad when they pull a truck off from the airport to go help, with that being said has anyone ever heard of closing streets in this place i mean yes the main road let them drive until the fire(at their own risk and of course mandatory safety) but the fill up area, how much time was wasted for a truck to turn around or pull out while waiting for some ass to go get some coffee with that response all they had to do was shut the road down to civilian traffic and let the trucks go do burn outs while they took back off to the fire
Why don’t they have red lights??? Or am I just colored blind
what state is this? and I didn't know those airport crash trucks were street legal
Andy Elkins This is eastern Washington state.
They are emergency response vehicles and go where the resources are needed. It may have been simple manpower needed versus the truck imparticular.
They can go 70mph depending on the year they were made and are made for runway and off-road use. They are great too as they generally carry 3000 gallons of water with multiple turrets all connected to foam. Our local one responds to cals in it's immediate area as a tender. They only carry 1-2 people so you don't get much manpower.
Andy Elkins When I lived in Amarillo the nearest fire station was on the northeast side of downtown Amarillo. There was a car that caught fire by Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport and they had to call in a Oshkosh from the airport to respond.
For fucks sake. Chief rigs and water tenders. Is anybody gonna be able to fight fire when all that water gets there?
Those are some very poorly lit fire trucks. They need to upgrade their lighting.
Tanker relay is running, the numbers repeat. They are all numbered 5?!
watchthe1369 It's Grant County #5 because Washington numbers there counties.
Every tender you see in the first 3:30 are all different.
Shit. I thought that the trucks would not end
Damn that ARFF's engine sounded mean!
detroit diesel baby
it's never a good thing when your rolling a AARF to a wildfire.
Are there any water dropping helicopters 🚁 they could have used?
Wind driven fire in range country. Not a happy situation. Even the airport fire truck responded.
I remember fighting a fire like that in Nevada, 70 miles north of Elko. Oh, how glad we were to see the BLM brush trucks and tankers show up.
1:16
Uh, that doesn't seem right.
So much wind noise.......
I'm sorry
Hi we have not such big tankers/tenders here in Germany.
We have more "little" ones like these:
They have 2400 Liter water and more equipement at all.
www.fw-rosengarten.de/fileadmin/_processed_/csm_TLF2_1_3daafe8d29.jpg
The newer ones are these with less water ..
1600-2500 Liters:in the tank.
www.fw-rosengarten.de/fileadmin/_processed_/csm_HLF1_1_e9d06ad017.jpg
Driving way too fast in those tankers.
Don't the fire department there use red and blue emergency lights?
They all using yellow lights.
Always burn them headlights during the day
Where the h*ll did all those tankers come from??
This is a huge district (over 500 Sq mi.) With 12 stations and nearly 70 pieces of apparatus.
One would think in this much wind the video taker would get out of the wind when videoing
Have Fun I would rather get clear shots of the trucks than not have any wind noise. Imagine seeing the trucks through my tinted windows and pillars. Just turn the audio down. P.S. I have got a new camera and working on adding a wind reducing device in it. Thank you for watching!
u know its bad when they need a Crash Truck for a brush fire
Grant County needs some new Equipment
We're getting there. Lots more military and BLM surplus trucks being built as well as some new trucks.
Na, old trucks are cool and are just fine if maintained.. looks like grant county is where old trucks get a new life
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Its alot of the same fire trucks
