Thank God that Kelly showed up, only Kelly could have put out that fire. That's just what Kelly does. If it had been anyone other than Kelly, it would still be burning, let's all give three cheers for Kelly. On a side note, the camera guy has a wicked man crush on Kelly, don't bend over in front of him Kelly.
At about 11:40 the right side fuel tank burned through well actually melted what you see running down the road is the trail of fuel catching fire. Sorry kid exploding vehicles is only in Hollywood movies
I use the gears and the jake, I hate braking on downgrades. This is one of the reasons it is best to keep moving in lower gears if you can to help cool them down, if and when you can. That dead stop doesn't allow air to move through the wheels and this can happen
Volvo truck does have 10 flat tires on its cab and the fire will burn the tires to the bare rims. 😢. Also the cab is nothing left but the skeleton remains when the saddle fuel tanks does explode with diesel fuel.
Years ago we we on the highway and a semi passed us. My dad notice the back brakes on the trailer were bright red and smoking. He tried called the driver via the CB radio but the driver would not answer back. So Dad told him " you might want to pull off the road you trailer brakes are over heating and smoking The drive came back thanking my dad. He took the next exit just in time.
Looks like somebody is getting fired, 🤔,this is a sign of negligence. Driver doesn't know how to go down a steep grade..lol So this is the concequinces . No big loss it's just a Volvo. Firefighters are moving like a snail on a razor blade.
First truck I was assigned was an old fld with no Jake in 1994, been driving about 2 months, going down grapevine with heavy load had really smokey brakes by the time I was down...
Guys Good filming but you thought you felt the heat, but no way did you feel it!!! as the wind was blowing away from you. But hey ho you are human Cheers
@@SimonWoodburyForget I've been driving a semi truck for 20 years and if he came off a hill 99% of this crap is from NOT using lower gears and engine brakes. The other 1% is breaks were dragging and over heated
He prevents the fire to spread. He doesn’t have breathing apparatus so he can’t get too close. Prolly a second hose and properly geared operator arrived later.
This is why have the fire extinguisher by the driver's seat, not in a side cabinet. Sometimes you only have seconds to control a small fire before it gets out of control. This could also have been caused by failed bearings.
I've driven identical trucks like that down Cabbage, the Grape Vine, 70 east bound into Denver, Eisenhower and 7th gear and working the jake worked for me but so may times I've had drivers pass me at the crest and I'd see them hitting the brakes for several hundred feet. Apparently they're in such a hurry that they use 10th going down.
Maybe the trucker added extra mods, something being flammable, it had a leak, and maybe the brakes sparked because they're bad, and ignited the flammable material. Just a guess
@@SimonWoodburyForget it will if you ride your brakes on down hill GRADE. Instead of using Air brakes and start out in the proper gear. Should of never gotten his class As.
Where they're at, it's more than likely a volunteer dept, and it's mid day where most members are at their " real" jobs. You run with what you have and call for mutual aide from other depts
Those so called brake fires are caused by riding the brakes too long and overheating the wheel hubs thus melting the oil seals and the seals spilling oil into those hot drums thus youve got a fire
@@yooper2186 you better believe i am i worked on these things all my life and know how almost all of these fires start especially when you are in the mountains like this pne is
The 10 between Tucson and Pheonix and heading towards NM is prone to getting bad dust storms. My dad's seen burnt-out hulks of tractor-trailers on the ten. When I was a kid I was on the ten with my mom and sibling and saw a flipped Prime truck on the opposite lane, and an ambulance slowly leaving the scene... lights flashing, sirens off. I was with my dad one summer, in I think CO and there was a boneyard near the truck stop (or was it a stop) we were at. Two tractors, obviously from the same outfit were there and both had one side of the cab squashed. One, in particular, grabbed my attention, it was obvious the driver did not survive the incident. The other was damaged, however, the driver would have been ok, though if there was a passenger, said would have died.
Piss pore training and government handing out CDLs like their candy is the blame here. You should get a 300 dollar ticket for slowing down or stopping traffic to look at a wreck,etc that isn't even on your side of the road!
@@firefighterpk2440 I would say that also should have actually oops using brakes instead of transmission it'll do it every time and Jake brake if you have one

That's a really bad semi fire !!! 🔥🔥🔥😳🚒
The fuel tanks will not explode it's not gasoline
"Its Gonna Blow! We are all Gonna Die!!! Sonic Booms everywhere!!!"
The guy recording said he heard a sonic boom explosion 💥! Nonsense it were the tires 🛞 popping
Get the hot dogs and marshmallows ready.

Diesel fuel burns, not explode.

Good job Kelly!
Use your gears and exhaust brake. This is why you're supposed to pick a lower gear before starting a down grade.
This is from piss poor training and foreigners don't understand English and are allowed to drive how ever they want.
@@SimonWoodburyForget yes the fire started because he caught his brakes on fire because he wasn't using a low enough gear and engine/Jake brake.
@@SimonWoodburyForget I've been driving a semi truck for 20 years and if he came off a hill 99% of this crap is from NOT using lower gears and engine brakes. The other 1% is breaks were dragging and over heated

@@SimonWoodburyForget they could over heat tho
1 hose and spray at everything ,haha.

I never touched the service brakes on down hills, it’s powerful the engine brakes, never problems
The truck may need a major service...
Obviously an underfunded fire department. I mean basically a red SUV with a 100 gal tank. No foam. Blowing the diesel fuel around.
Brand New Volvo truck at that.
This is why all truckers should always carry 2 large fire extinguishers

gotta go gotta go gotta go.dont u know it man
so a sonic boom sounds like a tire busting???
Sad, unnecessary, don't stop , keep going till brakes cool off. Scratch one semi truck.
You could hear the sirens from the beginning of the video , 6 minutes in there still not there. WTF. M.
Doesn't mean it was the fire department,probably the highway patrol.
@Ryan Moncrief maybe turn your hearing aid up! It’s most definitely sirens right before the horn starts blaring! 😂
@Ryan Moncrief please get the help you need, start with a hearing test then move to the psychological help! 👍🏼🤡🤡
@Ryan Moncrief classy. Proof some are too far gone for help. 🤷🏻♂️🤡
@@matjaquier7243 Thanks.
Those booms are tires exploding
So hard to imagine, bad brakes caused all of that? WOW
Not bad brakes. Rookie driver.
Yep I'd have to agree.
Maybe the trucker added extra mods, something being flammable, it had a leak, and maybe the brakes sparked because they're bad, and ignited the flammable material. Just a guess
Uneducated DRIVER HE NEEDS TO LOOSE HIS CLASS As
@@SimonWoodburyForget it will if you ride your brakes on down hill GRADE. Instead of using Air brakes and start out in the proper gear. Should of never gotten his class As.
Where did this happen?
Looks like
Georgetown CO
And this is why you don't ride your brakes...
Is the driver okay?
Crazy Truck Fire
I m curious What happened with the driver ?
Where is extinguisher ??
Holy crap 😱
Was the driver able to escape?
I’d Say so
Yeah he's the one recording.
Shouldn't the truck be logoed "SWIFT"??
Look at "Kelly go" bahaha
I hope nobody was in that truck. 🙏
I have a fire extinguisher up in my trailer Incase this ever happens
Rip beautiful usa truck
What is this? Solo firefighting. where is his back up?

Dang you’re smart

I hope the person got out of the truck before the fire start .i hope the person is ok.he or she is ok.
Always use the lowest gear and the Jake brakes
I came here to confess the sad news to the world that my roaches have returned.
Sorry to see this
I bet his brakes overheated coming down out of Eisenhower.
The 10 between Tucson and Pheonix and heading towards NM is prone to getting bad dust storms.

Somebody didn’t do a proper pre-trip inspection😒☹️😟😞⚡️
Good heavens What an awful sight !

Seriously lack of preventive maintenance not paying attention to how the truck is moving you would have noticed overheating or dragging brakes
" seriously " unskilled driver coming off the mtn to fast and heavy
@@firefighterpk2440 I would say that also should have actually oops using brakes instead of transmission it'll do it every time and Jake brake if you have one
Sad.lots of money .gone!

Completely driver falt . This driver didn't use his JAKE Breaks and going way too fast !
You do understand not all truck have a jake, right!?
Going too fast for conditions.
Making funny comments during a bad situation, not good.
Ser shut up right now you stop it right now
Ser you are not the boss
So sad for the driver
What's sad Is the drive r didn't go down the heel in the proper gear.
