The lady that keeps saying come on fire truck, ugh. So annoying. I’ve been a firefighter since 1992. I’m telling you that no paid or volunteer Dept could put that out quickly. Barn fires burn until the ground is showing. You can take that to the bank. Plus, if there’s no hydrants, it takes a good 25 minutes to set up a tanker operation. This is rural firefighting, and mutual aid is a long ways away. The best you can hope for is to protect all the exposures(nearby buildings and structures).
My dad ran with a local fire company in Lancaster County Pa for 25 years - the many barn fires he worked at the to hot hay - sparks from a deisle engine and lightning strikes - - all the volunteers that put their lives on the line every day -
@LucidDreamer54321 yes, but fire moves faster than we can. Fire if has the right connections can spred faster than you can run. Only thing the fire fighters can do is try and save the other buildings. Witch this farmer lost his barn, tool shed and home.
Uhhh really im a volunteer.. we dont sit at home Mm then rush to the station.. were have work days 12 to 24 hours a week.. just like anyone else. Unless your lame department is actuakly on call drop your baby at home to run to the station
You’ve mentioned Knoxville a couple of times and the fact the firemen were volunteers. I resided in Knoxville, Iowa for a long while and from the time you began filming until they responded was relatively quick and they just kept responding. I think they did a great job suppressing this fire and whoever saved the cattle God Bless you for saving them. I hope that the community came together and had a barn raising effort to help this Farmer. It seems from appearance sake that his farming operation was more business like and it was a source of Family income. I would imagine that this Farmer is an integral part of the community and would deserve a few hands up 🙌🏽✋ in rebuilding. I am just all about community spirit having lived it and still do. 🤜💝🤛 I am a regular poster on our Nextdoor app 💖💝

Snd fyi volunteers dont sit at home snd rush to the station.. they work at the station like any paid firefighter. We have work scheduals like anyone else..
@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 they may have other jobs as well and volunteers rarely are working at the station my old dept was volly/paid call but we came from our normal jobs or if we were not working that day from home to the station then respond in the truck. Our only staffing was EMS 8-5 mon-fri
Worked on a dairy farm that milked 400 head. Had a big fire in parlor area. All the milk and dry cows along with young cattle were let loose. (800 all together) Took us a day to get them back and brought to other farms. 4 months later we were milking in a double 20 parlor. Don't work there anymore. They milk almost 2000 cows now.
@Garnet Holman wow that was a heck of a loss. Sorry to hear that. Hay is very risky and dangerous. I was always thought if it's heavier than the others, shove your hand in it to feel for dampness. I have found a few in my time.
Been a year passed im now watching, glad you said the fire started somewhere other than the barn, I heard that if hay is stored in a barn it must be ventilated or it catches fire
Oh my goodness I am so sorry for their loss, losing barns and then their home is so heartbreaking, wish I lived closer because I would love to help out with clean up. I have seen some nasty stuff with my ex being a firefighter so I know how everyone is feeling sending hugs to everyone
Another huge delay with barn fires is that farms frequently store chemicals...like fertilizer. Explosive stuff. So fire depts usually stage far-enough away so they're not in danger. That huge fertilizer company fire in 2013 in TX that killed so many firefighters as they were too close.
I was in the largest volunteer district in the state of Calif. 835 square miles or thereabouts. Oddly, located in the VERY far north end of the state, in Siskiyou County. Lots of farmland in the district. Lots of barns. Old barns, with literally TONS of old chemicals, paints, fertilizers, poisons, even ammunition, kept for generations, some known...some not. Anyone that does this hobby should be warned, & especially TRAINED to be aware of which farms/barns contain what. Our chief was aware of these hazards, but he was a WWII Pearl Harbor survivor. Lord rest ye, Manny!
I have a 100x50 foot barn... built in the 40s.. and taken apart and rebuilt in 60s.. my biggest fear is it going up in flames. I made sure wheb i bought the place to check allllll the romex wiring. And i found 4 of then with chew marks to bare metal.. replaced it all. Thrn the 100amp board i noticed were all 20 amp breakers on the 14ga csbles... uhh wrong... so i replaced em all with the lroper 15amps. I need to replace all the 60 year old receptacles too. Only 1.2 the wiring is in steel sheeth too.. so that worries me for critters to chew through
Fires with round bales suck. When we had our fire we had 70 round bales in an open barn. I spent 8 hours knocking round bales around so the fire department could put them out. Lost a 6400 John Deere and a silage truck too. Mexican kids were playing with matches.
good video im almost at the halfway mark you can see perfect that when the fire started the only thing you can do is save livestock get everybody out and in safety and hope that the fire department is on time and within minutes the whole barn is in flames a good reminder for everybody if the fire is to big to put out just get the f*ck out that is what my first aid instructor told me when we got a lesson in putting out fires
I think all barns and out buildings should be fitted with a sprinkler system also if they could site one or two deep ponds on site, ideally, they could have a means of damping a fire till the fire department arrives also with a pond set up it gives tankers a place to empty and pumpers to draft from just a thought, I know farmers have enough to deal with, sprinklers could have been handy having a portable pump to feed them something I hope farmer will think about that would help VFDs especially the pond for drafting
I'm sure they would if they wanted too. Farmers are very cheap when it comes to money. It would be very expensive to do something like that plus that would take more land.
@@marshall32781 Cheap,really? First of all it's not economical for farms to install sprinkler systems in most barns! Dust,dirt grim in general, whitewash,ect.

@@markmullin4246 it's not simple. You just have to take that leap. Don't worry about what other farmers are doing. Change it up.

I just love listening to people who have no clue what there talking about. Fires involving barns are usually a loss. NO WATER. i will never understand why farmers have no ponds or lakes at the site?
I commend the camera man on your assessment comment. I'm a former fire ground commander. Lots of questions have to be looked at. You mentioned fuel storage. Also what kind? Propane explodes violently with incredible heat. Are there lives at stake and where? Where and how much water and air? Exposures in this case seems vital. Those are all apparently in the direction of the wind. Is it shifting? That puts firefighters lives in danger even more. Imagine a BBQ grill dripping fire. Your chicken is all on fire but the ony water you have is spit and the wind is in your face. How far away are my resources (mutual aid, water, air support, etc)? Chemicals? What color is the smoke and what does it smell like? Do I need to evaluate? Crazy things like your best freind's secret meth lab you never knew about just failed. It happens and we find it and do our best to preserve evidence without putting lives over it. Power lines. Exit strategy. Back draft or flash over situation? Training of my crew. Is this an offensive or defensive attack? Unfortunately, sometimes we have to let things burn down to what we can handle and that does bother us. Thus fire prevention and awareness, training for firefighters, alarms, extinguishing equipment, and expansion of hydrant distrcts are paramount. Those all cost money and take time. It's getting better, but sometimes things stall and meet resistance. My overall point on any scene is, fools rush in and never come out. Hope this help.
Thank you for that. You should read some of the comments I'm getting from ass clown trolls. Telling me I'm a horrible person for not helping and hiding behind a camera. Really get a garden hose and help. Go over there and let the cows out. Really?! Like the fire fighters are really going to let me help someone not on their team with no experience. The fire fighters are the ones who let the cows out. That barn is done all they can do is save all the others. They still lost their house 3 days later because an amber got into the garage. It's a shame, but that's life. You can only do what you can do. Materials are replaceable. No lives lost. Bonus. So thank you for having sense.
@@marshall32781 thank you for having sense. Helping educate others helps your department without having to risk yourself. Also, regularly unannounced fire drills at home, work and especially in schools. It's sad how many children don't know basics like "stop, drop, and roll" The end goal is to save lives. Sadly, uneducated and heros tend to lose their's.
Yep that barn didn’t last long !!! It was probably the power inverter in the semi or the battery’s we had a bob cat catch on fire that sat for 3 4 days no one was even near it and the boss looked out the window and it was burning 🔥
Another person that thinks firefighters can just teleport to the scene. One volunteer department,two if the closest station was on a call the next one probably miles away being in the country.
‘Where are the fire trucks?” You mean pay $110 a year for career firefighters, no way. People are so funny, there is a paid fire station every 2 miles. Or pay money to secure a career force. Your choice
@@jimmccabe801 person complained no fire trucks. That’s what you get with volunteer fire dept. my point, same person would b!tch at paying for a fire tax for career firefighters
And career fd isn't saving a barn. Once that hay ignites it's over you're not putting it out let it burn to ashes. Much easier for the farm owner to clean up.
@@nubbyg9096 i know of many volunteer fire departments that are just as dedicated as any paid dept. You pretty much don't know what you're talking about. Station every 2 miles doubtful.

We fed them food and water. They do get paid from my taxes I pay. We pay for the fuel they use. They are volunteers. They know what they are getting into. They are not forced to do this job for the community. Now I do have a plan. when I made this video. If I get over one million views on this video and I start getting paid. Every check I get from this will go to the family.
@@marshall32781 that’s nice. That one comment I made came off wrong. When I respond to a fire, I walk out of my $30/hr job, get into my own truck that uses my gas and the lights and siren I bought. Idk about where you live but we get zero $$ for any of that here. It costs me money to show up and put out a fire for our coverage area. The town owns the fire engines and pays for the diesel and the gear. There is no pay for the FF
Don't know the city or state. But must be a sorry bunch of fire departments. I seen mostly volunteer. 1 big firetruck.going to the fire . 1 going in the opposite direction...whole farm buildings will burn B4 anyone gets there to put it out..
There were 3 fire trucks and 7 tankers 7 different towns came. We are a very small town. Cows over populate people out here. The barn was gone no matter what. They did there best to save the house.
They are Volunteer firemen takes a min for them to show up. Of course 911 was called before filming. We new there was a fire before I started filming. We seen flames in the building for about five min before it got out hand.
@@marshall32781 round up cattle, ask those neighbors what kind of help, if any, you could offer. Spray down buildings with a water hose ahead of the fire. Help move things, furniture, keepsakes, valuables in case the fire spreads. Console your neighbor who is facing this home disaster. You might have been turned away but at least you, and others, could have tried. Instead you chose to film and laugh and offer no help.
@@marioescanuelas8167 my apologies. Yes maybe I could have done more. We did feed the fire fighters. Gave them water. We also baked pies for them ordered pizza for them. For 3 days. We fed 7 different fire stations involved. After the fire was done. We went there and helped clean up the debris with excavator and skid steers. If you would read the other comments you would know why I didn't help with the cattle. We did a lot I think that you didn't see on camera for the 25 min of film. The other people in the background are in there 70s. They are in no condition to help. Just because you didn't see me help in the video doesn't mean I didn't help later on.
Volunteer firefighters are so slow.. I know because they let my house burn down just standing around.. I stood there and watched them and I couldn't do nothing but watch

@@marshall32781 that’s nice. That one comment I made came off wrong. When I respond to a fire, I walk out of my $30/hr job, get into my own truck that uses my gas and the lights and siren I bought. Idk about where you live but we get zero $$ for any of that here. It costs me money to show up and put out a fire for our coverage area. The town owns the fire engines and pays for the diesel and the gear. There is no pay for the FF
OMG
Don't know the city or state. But must be a sorry bunch of fire departments. I seen mostly volunteer. 1 big firetruck.going to the fire . 1 going in the opposite direction...whole farm buildings will burn B4 anyone gets there to put it out..
There were 3 fire trucks and 7 tankers 7 different towns came. We are a very small town. Cows over populate people out here. The barn was gone no matter what. They did there best to save the house.
Where is this
Where's the firemen? Did you think to call 911 before you started recording?
They are Volunteer firemen takes a min for them to show up.
Of course 911 was called before filming. We new there was a fire before I started filming. We seen flames in the building for about five min before it got out hand.
Pray for rain
Just keep filming and talking, don’t consider trying to help in any way.
What could I have done to help? I'm not fire fighter.
@@marshall32781 round up cattle, ask those neighbors what kind of help, if any, you could offer. Spray down buildings with a water hose ahead of the fire. Help move things, furniture, keepsakes, valuables in case the fire spreads. Console your neighbor who is facing this home disaster. You might have been turned away but at least you, and others, could have tried. Instead you chose to film and laugh and offer no help.
@@marioescanuelas8167 my apologies. Yes maybe I could have done more. We did feed the fire fighters. Gave them water. We also baked pies for them ordered pizza for them. For 3 days. We fed 7 different fire stations involved. After the fire was done. We went there and helped clean up the debris with excavator and skid steers. If you would read the other comments you would know why I didn't help with the cattle. We did a lot I think that you didn't see on camera for the 25 min of film. The other people in the background are in there 70s. They are in no condition to help. Just because you didn't see me help in the video doesn't mean I didn't help later on.
@@marshall32781 i am glad you supplied help after. Good for you. I hope that farm recovers from the fire as soon as possible. Thanks for the reply.
@@marioescanuelas8167 it already is. They already have a new shed up and there new house will be done this November

Most likely but not positive.
Was it a barn.
Hay and straw storage barn.
Yeah but was it a barn????
Volunteer firefighters are so slow.. I know because they let my house burn down just standing around.. I stood there and watched them and I couldn't do nothing but watch

Say Oh My God as many times as you like, but he has no skills as a fireman.
Who doesn't have skills as a fireman?
