Montréal: Dump truck fire is the latest action in the city's wild urban jungle 12-13-2021

- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- At 1h pm on Monday December 13th 2021 a dump truck's contents caught fire while in operation at the corner of Ste-Catherine Street and Drummond Street in Montréal, Canada. Early video footage shows bystanders attempting to put out the flames burning through rubbish that has most likely just been collected. Fire department was called in and fought the fire while the heavy garbage collection vehicle activated its hydraulic command and moved some of the trash around and out. At more than one time during the intervention, the truck repositioned for precaution in the challenging and critical high density urban environment.

Finally someone who knows how to work a fire extinguisher
Yes that was textbook use of one.
Why not turn it on throw it inside and close the dumpster?
@@bendermi Good reply from someone who does not know how to properly use one. I would suggest you contact your local fire dept and ask them to show you proper use of them so you will know how to maybe someday use it to save your life.
@@davidsuperdavelarson6174
I learned to use it as I made moped drivinglicense in 85 so why don't you think of a better response ?
@@davidsuperdavelarson6174 no wasnt. You shoul do bursts and not all in one
A for the nice video catch, C for the speed of getting water on the fire.
Glad you know how firemen should do their jobs
I'd give them a F.. acting like sloths.
@@Mads-hl8xj Where is your video of you being a firefighter?
@@austinbarthel6032 Didn't had time to make one as i was busy putting out fires.... Where's yours ?
@@Mads-hl8xj 👍
The german firedepartment trucks ("fire engines") have a hose for quick access. So they can quite immediately start fighting the fire with the water tank's content. Meanwhile other firefighters can start building up the water supply from the hydrant to the truck.
We use to have them on a lot of departments here in America but NFPA got all crazy against them and seldom if ever you see them anymore. Use to put out and fight a lot of fires with those hose reel lines. The London Fire Brigade alone tackles 50,000 fires per year; around 40,000 of these are dealt with using the hose reel. Hose reels or booster lines as we called them as a rule are always my first choice for a rapid attack on fires in vehicles, dumpsters and fires in a fireproof building limited to a couple of rooms. It all boils down to looking at a fire and in 2-3 seconds knowing if you need low or high flow to deal with it.
Jut FYI, on the three departments I was in warm weather the pump to tank valve was open both valve to booster reels where open and the guys in the jump seats or compartments could bail out grab a line and the pump operator driver just need to put the engine into pump and rev the engine from the cab for 75% of the time would be all that was needed for a fast knock down.
We have the same in Poland. It is enough for the firefighters to get out of the car and immediately stretch the line for extinguishing.
Schnellangriff
Aber immerhin muss man oberirdische Hydranten nicht lange suchen und das Anschließen geht auch viel schneller.
same in country Georgia (Europe, not the state)
That must be the slowest moving firemen I have ever seen in my life.
I thought so too xD
it was not a emergency, firefighter went there without any siren too. When it's not required to go fast, why to do it ? Best job are not done in short time. With fast action panic can occur. See same speed, but more urgent ruclips.net/video/y24cvZonRSw/видео.html
Eating for it to burn out
@@jonathancaouette3440 there’s a difference between running around like in a panic and putting some pep in your step to get the job done. Slowly getting off the truck, slowly pulling a line, then decided to put your mask and gloves on is just plain unacceptable. The fire is growing and will damage property. Property conservation is a job of the fire department.
@@Mrquartermile WHAT PROPERTY???? the garbage ???? the garbage is on fire in a closed steel box...completely isolated.....what's the point of running????
I was a volunteer for 12 years if I would have been this slow my chief would a kicked my butt...
“Volunteer?” Never made the cut eh lol
@@JDGage Are whole dept was volunteer ...but same training as fulltime person....was a great small town
So hard to watch that load needs dumped and those firefighters have to be the slowest moving bunch I seen in awhile
Guy I used to work with drives a front loader maggot wagon now and he told me that is the first thing you are supposed to do in case of fire. Find safe location and dump the whole thing
I was just thinking the very same thing myself, too slow for words. Thank God I don't live in Montreal!!!
Here in Australia, we have ready hoses which as soon as the truck stops and the pump is on, water is pumped, no need to lay out 7 different hoses.
Every Video I see from USA Firefigthers I tell and say exactly the Same, they are the Slowest on Earth, maybe all of them find the wrong Job, its terrible to Watch this, Poor Residents in the Staats if they had any fire at home
@@HabibiGermany Ich weiss was du meinst, aber tatsächlich ist das hier im französischsprachigen Teil Kanadas, der Stadt Montreal in der Provinz Quebec.
Good video, but surprised they took so long to actually start putting water onto the flames…?
I guess if 2020 was a dumpster fire, 2021 was the upgraded version : Dump truck fire.
Except this a a garbage truck
Mobile dumpster fire
@@jp5195 Don't know why people don't know their trucks.
I just love the lack of urgency to put the fire out...
It is in the back of a contained space with nowhere else to burn
It's contained in a metal can.
The toxic smoke, that doesn't mean anything? Its much better here in sweden
What really is the rush? Its trash, no one is in immediate danger. Rushing to put it out would likely cause someone to be hurt vs the actual fire.
I’m surprised the truck didn’t burn. The firefighters were beyond slow.
Well it is NY so I’m not surprised
@@rockstarauthority7354 it’s not NY it’s Montreal Canada
@@DavidKott r/whoosh
@@rockstarauthority7354 nah, you just made a stupid joke. It didn’t go over anyones head
@@joker432 Bud, I happen to live in Montréal and believe me when I say it’s becoming more and more like NY everyday.
I drove a garbage truck for many years and always said if my truck caught fire I would dump it right then and there in the street........number one save the truck!
Those firefighter walking around like they are still on their coffee break
You captured the essence of 2020 and 2021 in a single video!
Why is it that fire crew dawdles along and is slow (2.5 minutes) at starting to fight the fire?
I've seen things like this before. One day at work, a garbage truck caught on fire in front of my office window. The fire department had them dump the burning load on the street in front of my window 😲
That's standard procedure for most companies. Clean up costs and fines might cost several thousand to 10k but a new truck might cost a couple of hundred grand.
My colleagues had an explosion in their garbage truck: someone dumped explosives in the trash, and when the press was activated on the garbage truck, one of those explosives went off. It caused a big enough explosion to kill the press and scare the begeezus out of my colleagues. Police and fire squad came over, cordoned off the area, the EOD was called in and they took the remaining explosives out. They happened to be those things they use to shoot lines from ship to ship.
Bring back those mighty Mack fire trucks once and for all!!!
Here in New Brunswick, when crews get a hot load the first thing they do is dump it in the road to remove the fire source from the truck. Clean up is cheaper than a new truck, lol
Good job ❤❤🚒🚒lam afireman from algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿❤❤🇺🇲🇺🇲l love your work very much and l hope to visit your country
I feel like a douche bag critiquing fire fighters as I could never be one but…….it seems like there’s no sense of urgency to put this fire out.
There is no urgency. It's garbage, inside a truck and it ain't going anywhere. Hurrying and panicking is stupid on many levels. The're very professional and in control more than anything.
There wasn’t any life in danger so no point in rushing anything
Also its trash so you never really know what chemicals and such people throw so they have to mask up and not breathe in anything bad
Это не огнеборцы , а позор какой то . Сколько времени потеряли ...
Говорят наши плохо работают😂

Куда столько рукавов то размотали )
It's 2:04 when the engineer pulled the parking brake on engine 225, and no water flowing until 4:34, a full 2-1/2 minutes. It never ceases to amaze me how long it takes for some departments to get water on a fire. Engage the PTO, hit "Tank To Pump", and be ready to put water to the line as soon as the FF has the line pulled. There is no excuse for this taking longer than 60 seconds.
RUclips batt chiefs never cease to amaze me either
@@danielr3933 But he is right, this was pretty bad...
had to prime the pump
Cheers from Abbotsford BC. Some of the roads are still closed and flooded.
OMG how long did that water take🥱
As a retired fire fighter my advice is for garbage truck crew to immediately dump the load on to the street as soon as it’s determined there is a fire in the body. Garbage is is packed so tight to the truck that it’s impossible to get any good water penetration. If the dump is delayed too long the trucks hydraulics may become damaged and won’t be able to be dumped. You are then looking at the possibility of total destruction of a truck worth about 400k to replace. Also no one should be standing close to or under the raised hopper section. It could fall at any time if the fire has damaged the trucks hydraulics.
I seen garbage truck's go fast with contents, debris, and chemicals being very dangerous. Sometimes hazmat response is needed too.
The reason a line went to the hydrant was to prolly refill the water back into the pumper truck's water tanks, and finally, I think they did an excellent job both the garbage crew and fire crew.
i was a trash man for 5 years and when that happens you dump your trash right on the ground
great play by play from the camera man lol!
That would be me thank you lol
Little to no urgency in putting out the fire
(Dog sits at table.) _It's fine._
Jason Bourne in action usually looks like just taking a walk... 😉
it was contained within the garbage truck idk if that required super quick urgency. no one was in harms way.
It's one of those mobile incinerators LOL
I am surprised that the truck actually was functioning after that.
why?, the fire was contained to the garbage storage
@@maximilianosantander2272 There is a big metal blade that is in the body of the truck. That part is separated from the cab. Also it looks like they didn't have a lot of trash in the body of the truck.
@@maximilianosantander2272 The heat from the fire can easily melt the hydraulic system underneath the container
There wasnt much rubbish in it. Now if that was anything over a quarter full it would have probably been catastrophic
Always so slow with the water? Don’t they have watertank inside the firetruck to start with ?
hello to everyone.
sorry to ask but don't the fire department have water on their fire engines?
I mean it's very slow to get water or foam in that garbage truck
They did have water on it.
That so called horn was not a police officer or a car horn. It was the pump primer on the engine to prime the water into the pump
Seems like the citizen journalist would know that
You shouldn't have to prime a pump using tank water...
The horn I was referring to was the one that I filmed at the 1:34 mark before the fire truck arrived.
@@Louisiananews The horn I was referring to was the one that I filmed at the 1:34 mark before the fire truck arrived.
That's what I thought as well as I knew that sound but since I wasn't there I let the comment go.
Best example of a rolling dumpster fire
Лайк, кто смотрел это видео через Яндекс браузер с русским переводом.
Does all that burning garbage stink up the street?
Ya
It's Montreal...who would notice?
When that happens. Gotta find an open area that is safe and dump the trash out or keep packing the trash so the air flow would not keep the fire going
Unless the heat source was a Lithium Ion, which is easily thrown into a trash can by people who know nothing about them.
Every time I watch a garbage truck fire, I can't help but worry the heat damaged the hydraulic lines or cylinders that are holding up that super heavy compactor door.... if that failed & slammed shut..omg...
Why didn't they turn on the fire extinguisher and close the dumpster ?
They should go ahead and dump the load of trash before the whole truck goes up and then bring a backhoe loader in to clean up the trash
The truck is insured. Why dump a load of garbage in a downtown area? They cold face fines AND will have to deal with the cost of having machines and trucks come and pick it all up. The driver handled this correctly as far as the bosses at the company go.
Cool video, thanks for sharing
Yeah. Its a garbage truck. Where did dump truck come from?
Well at least that fire wasn't as bad as when the truck it self goes critical and burns down. Those cab over front load Mack trucks make quite the show when they go.
Shur do, I so hate those macks, no suspension, no air flow threw the cab, it's a hotbox during the summertime and terable vision just to many blind spots
First responders not fast responders ha!
I was waiting for more trucks to show up so they could drag out more hose.
Slowest firefighters I ever seen
Could they have been any slower. European firemen would have been hitting that with water within seconds of arrival they automatically grab the hose on a real and start fighting the fire while others are un rolling a larger hose. And connecting another to a hydrant.
european fire departments would also respond with an unnecessary number of trucks lol
@@EnjoyFirefighting if its a house fire normally two will turn up car fire is usually only one anything larger two factory fire they will send a few but they can soon get more to the fire.
@@travelling_stephen some places in Europe they will send not only 2 units but an entire convoy ... for a basic AFA without any fire being actually confirmed
This is why you dispose of flameable liquids correctly
Take your time Mr Fireman
Hey..., that's a good idea! A "mobile" waste incinerator! 😁
That's why you don't throw batteries in the trash can
Isn't that the current situation in Canada at the moment garbage fire
was the truck damaged in any way?
I don't think so. After I filmed this I saw the same truck in action the next day lol
3:12 add a few logs to the fire and roast some Marshmallows 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇨🇦
Good Work Guys!
No mistrzowie - pierwsze miejsce w stanowych zawodach :)
Ja to sie zastanawiam dlaczego straż pożarna w Ameryce działa tak powoli. Zanim oni wode puścili to w polsce byłoby to już ugaszone. U nas straż wybiega z wozu już przygotowana w aparatach, rozkłada linie jak najszybciej sie da i gaszą. A w ameryce muszą powoli dojechać, wysiąść sobie na spokojnie, rozejrzeć się, ubrać na spokojnie, linie spacerkiem rozłożyć, jeszcze rękawiczki nałożyć...niby taki rozwinięty kraj a to aż zadziwia. W tej śmieciarce można było dużo strat uniknać gdyby dupe ruszyli.
Truck didn't have but one or two
Stops in it 🤣
I love how these firefighters acting. They are like "naah lets take coffee brake, dumptruck survive without us"
How did dry trash catch fire
To those who comment on how slow the FF were, they are trained not to panic and run when there's no need to and avoid unnecessary injuries like tripping over hoses or whatever, it's not like there was a baby in that burning truck stupid.
This happens because people throw used mobiles in the trash. Their batteries catch fire when cracked, and since garbage trucks compress trash to fit more that's exactly what happens.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice Video! 04:19 Why do they always shoot the water on to the ground first? Why not just throw it into the flames?
To check the flow pattern on nozzle and bleed any air, make sure there are no kinks or obstructions to the line etc.
@@simontrucker3624 Well I know all that, but I was thinking that could all be done while putting water on the flames. Thanks for the reply. I been a keyboard firefighter for 15 years now!
@@simontrucker3624 yes, that is correct. We do it everytime.
@@FF5754 Because spraying, what is effectively compressed air, could make the situation worse by blowing burning material elsewhere.
@@heli-crewhgs5285 heck ya, it's like stoking a fire for a few seconds. Most situations wouldn't matter but if inside a structure then for sure bad news. Although never ever go into a structure fire with out a charged line to begin with there too. That hose line is the life line back to the truck if visibility goes away.
Funny hearing "pumper truck". So used to hearing "Engine" in the .U.S
It is seen that it is the first fire to which they attend. So many meters of hose are not necessary.
¿4K?....🤔.....Or, 1080 resolution?
Only 10min supply of water onboard. Thars why hydrant is required.
if you worked with less flow and higher pressure you wouldn't need that much water after all; Of course after some time one should hook up to the hydrant
Love the new mobile incinerators
How do I turn off the described video?
Mute the audio
Oh my 😳 thanks for they early notice the fire
I'm just here to read about Europeans using booster reels, how they would have had this fire out in 8 seconds, and then sorted all of the recycling and had some tea before wrapping up and heading back to the station.
Never fails, does it? You can barely go on a North American video without a Euro person chiming in.
That's a garbage truck guys and gals. I mean yes in the end it goes to a dump but that's a garbage truck
The pizza bar next door -
A burning garbage truck pulls up outside and starts filling the area with toxic smoke.
The fire crew arrive and carry on a little before finally deciding that water might help, this sends clouds of toxic steam into the area.
(Pizza bar owner: Thank God its over)
Garbage truck dumps a pile of smouldering plastic bags, piss bottles and fish heads onto the sidewalk.
(Pizza bar owner: Daddy TOLD me to be plumber)
It's a garbage truck not a dump truck . And the idiot driver should have driven to a open parking lot and dumped the garbage in the parking lot 🙄 🤦♂️ they teach you that when you get hired 🤷♂️
Correct
what is that country
Why do we have FF agility drills then on scene they walk around and lazily pull hose. Not saying anything bad about this particular department but I’ve seen some lazy ass ground work lately
Ironic rule of filmaking - if you're gonna screw up...
_You're gonna do so on-camera._
Why are firefighters and ambulances are soooo slow in the US? :O
First off this is not the US..
this is canada
@@YoungAmbitionYA same shit
Why are they so so slow the fire men. I was in my cadet class I had water straying in 20 seconds wtf 225!
The Montreal Basement Savers strike again
Boots on the ground 2:08…water on the fire 4:38… 2 1/2 minutes. Not much sense of urgency. Come on guys, let’s get the lead out.
Yea I'm sure you probably would have had it down to 1 1/2 minutes
You all love to complain. The fire is contained in a metal trash truck. The fire was put out. The truck is still drivable. No exposures damaged. RUclips firefighters just love to complain.
@@j81870 Or the other alternative, put some hustle into your step and act like you actually give a crap about what you're doing and act like you care about your job & peoples property. Public perception is very important.
@@justanotherguy1110
And just how long have you been on the job? People who have never done the job love to complain.
All you see is fire and expect to see water spraying even before the air brakes are set on the Engine. And if not the firefighters and the fire department are a bunch of losers.
@@j81870 I've been a firefighter for the last 7 years and work for a career fire department, I think I know what I'm talking about. I know full well it takes a bit of time to get things set up, but like I said. Act like you care, put in a little hustle because people are watching (and cameras are recording) it makes a difference especially in the court of public opinion. I'm not bashing on them to be a dick, I just want to see everyone preform at their best. It's as simple as that.
Как же все медленно! И с вашей-то техникой!
Gods gift to firefighting you are
cool video
People disposing lithium ion battery from ebike or one wheel or other toy AT THE WRONG PLACE. Battery MUST go to recycling for good reasons!
They're driving the thing while it's on fire, why not just drive 2 blocks down to the fire station????
Why so slow? Those firefighters could have put out the fire immediately with a few foam squirts from portable extinguishers, like they do at auto races when the car catches on fire. Don't they have those in Canada?
No and our car wheels are square
No hurry boys. It is just a garbage truck on fire. Take your time.
Looks like the truck doesn't have that big a load, surprisingly!
Fast with the water!! Jeez.
“I don’t think they will even hook to the hydrant” lol, does Canada have infinite water tanks?
Yes they do
I made that comment stole filming because sometimes they don't bother hooking the truck to the hydrant if there is sufficient water in the truck already
Now that's a dumpster fire!
Sums up Trudeaus political career right there , "Garbage Fire!"
Open the truck and dump the load; whatever illegal dumping / cleanup costs are will be cheaper than buying a new truck.
can as well drive the truck to a site outside built-up areas or nearby a fire station and dumb the burning load instead of keeping it in the truck
Челики на пожарных вообще не торопятся...
Maebe some Lityhum battery cough fire there..?
Someone probably threw out a lithium battery. NOT COOL.
Rather hot, in fact.
Wouldn't surprise me, people are to lazy to do the proper thing.
Good thing the truck was mostly empty, probably only one dumpster worth of trash in back.
why such long sleeves
Protocol for a fire in a garbage truck is to dump the load immediately ! If not you’ll risk burning a $100,000 truck to the ground
2 minutes and 40 seconds after arrival they start putting out the fire, thats pretty bad in my opinion...
Y"all going to have to know the fire extinguisher is not going to put out all fires. Call the fire department. simple as that.
