This shocking footage shows a fire truck being completely enveloped by an extreme Australian bushfire - due to a 100kph change in wind.
Dunmore Rural Fire Brigade had a dash cam fitted to one of their vehicles when a fire swept through Shoalhaven, south of Sydney, Australia on January 29.
The clip sees the people, who were trying to protect residents’ property, fleeing from the incoming fires that had been quickly switched paths due to a change in wind.
What follows is an inferno of biblical proportions as the flames and embers swallow trees and vegetation.

Absolutely incredible. This footage really reveals how destructive a bush fire can be.
@@VahidMusictx let him enjoy
From a somewhat peaceful relatively clear sky to a horrifying raging inferno in less than 2 and a half minutes. Truly horrible, and tremendous respect to those who put it all on the line to fight against it.
And to those who have lost ways of life to these fires🙏
If synchronised climbing into a firetruck was an Olympic sport, those two at 0:27 would win the gold medal
Nah just the developers not implementing different types of animations. Smh
very very underated comment
Ha ha classic
Welp fire breaks are a waste of time..
Nahh they'd have to add platinum
I'm constantly awed and horrified just how fast a fire can move.
It went from 80 degree F to 1,500+ in 30 seconds or 26 C to 815+C. Even is you were underground in a steel reinforced concrete shelter, the oxygen would deplete and the carbon monoxide would increase. The shelter would need its own oxygen supply and be air tight.
@@mattmammone2338 When I was first learning about bushfires, I saw a clip from Australian TV talking about people building underground bushfire bunkers that might not survive a fire. I think the air supply was the primary concern.
@@mattmammone2338this is what happened on black Saturday, several of the people that died were in a bunker of some sort. Those caught in the open would have had no chance with that heat.
Mad respect to rural firefighters, imagine facing that day after day.
Day after day?? LOL They rarely face that...
@@jacobbouknight5002 Actually in Australia they face months of this.
@@YeahNo I stand corrected. I looked into it and read that they respond to between 45,000 and 60,000 brushfires each year. That's insane and horrifying.
@@jacobbouknight5002 Well you dont need to stand totally corrected, I have been a firefighter in Australia for over 12 years and have only faced that personally 5 times that I can remember, and only 1 of those times was "scary" in any way (totally surrounded by trees, no clear areas for hundreds of meters, couldnt go forward up the road or backwards because of vehicles either side, we got some of the plastic parts on the truck a little bit melted). And that is attending around 150 calls per year so a total of 2000ish calls. A lot of those 60,000 brushfire callouts never spread beyond a few hundred square meters.
This is basically a warzone. Everything goes to shit really fast. Mad respect for firefighters.
Survivor bias .
2:50 The fire-generated wind knocks at the truck enough for the dashcam to register a car velocity of 3km/h... and then 4km/h! Holy shit
From countryside to armaggedon in 2 minutes
This wasnt even fast forward
Wow. That’s nuts.
"We got a wind change here. The fire's heading towards us, and the hoses won't work against it."
"We need to get out of here. Now."
There's a newfound sense of respect for these people who have to face stuff like this.
This is a clear illustration of what has been handed down to me all my life by previous generations of people that lived near eucalyptus forests,(I’m 78). NEVER build in the bush, NEVER try to fight a fire in the bush on a bad day. As a firefighter for over 60 years I have never had cause to doubt them.
No wonder the animals stand no chance. 😭😓 How utterly devastating. And so brave of the firefighters to even attempt to combat fires like this. So risky and scary. Heartbreaking. 😥
@: Kevin-Van: Helfenstien. A logical person: Wow forest fires move fast in high winds... nobody stands a chance and it's best just to get out of the way.
Tinfoil hat moron: It was space lasers!
My dad is a fire fighter he showed me this video and i was Absolutely in shock. This is sad because fammilies cant be warned and firefighters put thwre lives at risk for this its really sad but Mad respect to fire fighters❤️🔥

That nice chilly place turned into living hell in just
And THAT's just how fast you could be up and walking around one minute, and dead and burnt up the next. Brush fires are no joke.
Like always, the cameraman never dies.
if the camera man died then this video would be against the community guide lines
Yeah. It’s a dash cam on a fire engine that was left behind. Still, don’t let facts bother you 👍
The most unnerving part for me is that this footage is in real time and not sped up. The fire moved that damn quick.
Well that escalated quickly.
The difference between the very start, and 2 minutes in... Fire is serious stuff
Firefighters are amazing man
this is easily one of the scariest things I have ever seen
"alright lads smoko time is over"
That’s amazing that this is a real-time video. It isn’t accelerated or anything like that. I remember the Monument Fire in Arizona back in 2011. The fire did spread fast like that. Winds were very strong. Firefighters couldn’t contain the fire until the winds finally died down.
You'll notice on the dashcam, wind was 0kph. Imagine if there actually was wind as well as the fire.
@@pandasroverno? The 0kph is a vehicle speed thing.
as someone who lived not very far away from where this was captured i can say a young me was scared absolutely shitless as this went by
@@anthonyj7989 i lived in berry and my family just decided to get out of there
fire is one of my worst fears. this is absolutely terrifying.
Every sitting politician should do this tour. Maybe they'll let the moths out of the wallet and give fire departments across the country what they deserve. Volunteering and fishing for public donation during the 'off season' is nothing but shameful.
It’s literally hell
That is scary mate!... thanks from across the ditch👍🇳🇿
It goes to shit real quick
THE SPEED AND FEROCITY! LIKE A DEVASTATING FLOOD ON FASTER.
This is why you don't stay and try to protect your house with a garden hose.
1:21 - 1:41 These 20 seconds are so environment changing it's ridiculous.
Wow that's incredible.... Those of us in the city's and suburbs have don't have a clue
This needs to be shown to all rubberneckers who stand around to "watch" the bushfire in suburban bushland areas
What you are seeing is a flashover event on a gigantic scale. Where the temperature gets so hot so fast that everything and anything combustible instantly vaporises and ignites in an almost explosive fashion. Utterly terrifying.
Extraordinary video. Although I truly laud the bravery of the fire fighters, it does seem their tiny little fire engine is a bit pathetic against a fire of this magnitude. Quite terrifying.
After granite mountain hotshots is m fascinated…being told the firefighters couldn’t outrun the fire to safety… I didn’t realise fire moved so quickly when the right wind happens..
Grass fires can be even faster: ruclips.net/video/SIHIsSJ2Txk/видео.html
Astonishing and terrifying.
Ever seen how quick leafs tend to burn? ( in an outside fireplace) well imagine that but on a much, MUCH bigger scale. The leafs are mostly the reason the fire is raging so fast
1:05 Jesus! They haven’t even gone out of the cameras view and the fires already there!
That was way faster than i expected
Props too the camera guy pouring water over the lenses too protect it from fire 🔥
That's actually shot through the front windscreen. The water you see cascading down is the fire truck's halo system on the roof that is activated during a burnover. Why that truck didn't pull out with the others I don't know.😳
Wowe incredible 🔥

*ENTERTAINMENT*
That is one top quility dashcam. Where can I buy it?
Lookup Garmin
That is proper terrifying
*Welcome to
Silent Hill... IN REAL!!!*
Thanks!
62 freaking mile per hour winds
this is in australia so it proves how deadly the fire was
So sad
The bush fire Dead Man Zone in action
It actually jumped the highway….👀
Wow😮
As a rural firefighter, these guys were in the wrong place. The halo system is a backup. If you have to use it, you weren't aware enough of where the fire was to start with. They should have never been that close to the fire front to begin with. First rule your taught in training about big wild fires...
It needs to be seen to be believed
shoutout to the cameraman
them fux went from blue sky to flame on in what....1:45.....wow
I hope the civilian car following the fire truck was okay. Truly scary stuff. And what happened to the driver of the car that went up the driveway and parked behind the trees?
It pulls away at the 1 minute marker going to the left just as the final engine is accelerating away.
My guess is that he was a local that wanted to ask the fire-team what to expect and when they all ran he booked it up a street he knew how to navigate.
Rural properties can be riddled with long roads that technically count as driveways and could lead to open paddocks and other spots he could shelter in.
If your talking about that while Ute that’s part of the fire team
cant say as i envy the guy on the end of that line!!! been there done that!!! much respect!!!
What do you do when you're caught in this situation?
@@davsavchav just what they did ya get the hell out no amount of water they can put out will slow that down
This is the apocalypse 2 minutes
0:27 THEY WERE IN SYNC GETTING INTO THE TRUCK
Daily Dose Of Internet
We are n ot talking enough about the brand of this camera.
I will never complain about tornadoes again
Honestly. I feel for the plants and the trees as well. They might not be alive in the same way as we or animals are. But they are still alive. Very sad to see nature be destroyed like this.
Plants & animals are very alive just as we are
Many Australian habitats have evolved to actually need fire. Some plant species require fire to germinate, and the ash left over is very nutrient rich for new growth. Aboriginal cultures have practiced land management with fire for centuries. Sadly the increased frequency and exposure of non-arid ecosystems to fires has been increased in recent years with climate change.
Actually, wildfires are a natural phenomenon for a reason..
Places that have regular fires also have plants and trees that need fire for their life cycle. It sounds crazy because we humans only think of fire as destructive, but it's not always that way in nature.
@cole Marie there is a species of plant in north America that has adapted and seed pods will release their seeds only if on fire. We habe to remember nature and the planet will be fine...its the people who won't.
I can barely begin to imagine how hot that would be
When we get an emergency warning it usually sayse "the heat will kill you before the flames reach you" just for some idea
Goddamnit Ozai, not again
RIP extincted species
“Hello everyone
This is
YOUR daily dose of internet.”
These poor animals
This is the longest 3 and an half minutes of my life...
Не совсем понял - это пожарная машина с системой водяной самозащиты? Это испытания? Читал, что именно такие были на вооружении в Австралии, Юго-Восточных штатах США и ещё где-то в малых количествах.
Wonder the temperature from start to end.
walking fire. that shit is so scary.
I would miss all the stuff i had in my Home and my home
Roight mates enough grillin for today
I know its not really related to the video but can someone explain why we use cabover Isuzu/Hino/Fuso's as rural fire trucks? There is no demand on length to carry more loads, its looks like a 2 axle Fuso Fighter or Isuzu 700-900, why are we so addicted to cabover mid/light trucks in Australia?
I think it’s to do with the sizes tbh, heaps of tracks and roads in country areas you wouldn’t be able to get down with bigger trucks so need cabovers
Smaller and easier to drive with shorter turning circles
Cabover has an exceptional up-close field of view. You can see if you are about to run over burning debris or if you're about to run into a steep dropoff.
An interesting question...
Thank you for asking it...
Appreciate the detailed answers too...
🇿🇦
im amazed how the camera survived XD
How did the whole truck not go up in flames and explode?
@@philocleandes9302 They turned on the external sprinkler system, known as a halo.
Wtf I though it was on high speed but not at all...this is so quick I understand better how people can quickly get stuck somewhere
Yeah I was a bit cynical about it tbh - like why can’t they just run from the fire…? Looks like flashover occurs even outside
How did that garbage bin survive? Haha
Anyone know what that like water system that was protecting the fire truck or whatever the dashcamera was in
Halo system, creates a halo of water over and around the truck so they don't get cooked
Way too late on evacuation notice. I always wonder what’s up with look out when I see these near escapes. It should never get this close.
Might sound dumb here but were there any fire fighters in this truck? If so, what was the reason they didn’t leave with the others? And if there weren’t, why wouldn’t they take the truck?
I am guessing that particular truck was unpacked and the team didnt have the time needed to pack it back up/cut loose the hoses.
It was too late to leave. Even though they were not far behind the others, the fire moved way to quickly. It is safer to shelter in place, cover with a fire blanket and put the sprinklers on.
Australia in a nutshell
Song?
My brother when i shut up: 0:00
My brother when i say my brother's name: 1:40
OMG!
The fire was like "This is my place now!"
2:20 are we in flames rn?
Fire and water: The great cleansers. Heat and water look identical 2:19
I was trying to determine what that was. What that convection currents distorting the air, or was there some liquid flowing down over the lens? I was mystified by that effect.
Wonder how they managed to get the dashcam back
Satelite maybe?
The camera is in the firetruck.
@Ssb Gaming it has those cab sprays with running water over the truck.
@@NCSiebertdesign that explains Why the camera was cover in water in few scenes
It's called a halo system, pipes on top of the cab of the truck release water, the crew inside have fire blankets and sometimes air tanks to breath (if the local bregade has been supplied an updated vehicle) its a plan D.. If you can't excape then you do a burn over
That wheelie bin would have melted.
Bro it looked like a atomic bomb
The truck with camera... Rip
They're alright, they put the truck into burnover mode
Jesus Christ 😱🙁☹️😢
The hot air distorts the light so much towards the end that it looks like it was filmed under a waterfall.
Its the firetruck with cab spray. Sprays water on the window to cool down.
NCSiebert Design oh I didn’t know that. Thanks for letting me know.
The outside temp can reach to such extreme that it can melt the truck. It sort of self defence system of truck to protect vehicle and human. It Covers the body of truck with water.
Burnover mode, sprinklers on the truck create a water halo
@@NCSiebertdesign I had no idea, thank you! I also assumed it was the heat "shimmering" effect, like you see over hot asphalt but more intense.
Did they abandon a car
This is what the end will look like if we don't repent 😢
Fucking hell...
