That's a pretty awesome piece of equipment for niche situations like when you've got a reservoir to tap into but maybe a little overkill for a city environment. I'm seriously impressed with the power they can pack into a truck like that
Agreed niche situations, but not out of the scope for some municipalities that are on a body of water or river. The power is coming from the Mobile Pump Unit and Hydraulic Submersible Pump..they do the pushing and the Deluge Truck does the big flowing
@@UsfirepumpCompany I was going to make a joke about running the water sprayers pumps in reverse to suck the hoses back in, but your solution sounds a lot more likely to work.
Jesus the amount of Municipal firefighters that think trucks are solely built for them is beyond frustrating. This is an Industrial apparatus. We have fire water ponds, and high pressure pumps set in place in the event that a chemical complex, refinery, or warehouse catch on fire. For the record I am a volunteer firefighter for my city, and an industrial firefighter at a chemical plant.
Just imagine what a dozen or so of these could do to assist in floodwater mitigation? 12 of these running for 8 hours? That's around 10.3 million gallons of water. By the way, that's about how much water flows through the Mississippi River every 2-3 seconds.
Well, I'd either go with something wholesome & sweet like Type O Negative - Christian Woman, that or traditional Pennsylvania Dutch pop music.....such as Batzorig Vaanchig. Thanks for your consideration! BTW, didn't realize this was done in Baton Rouge, I'm in N/W Louisiana.
A small town in wild fire country. Put a BIG pond in central park run special hydrants and send this bad boy to the side of town the fire is approaching, It looks it can cover a quarter mile circle all by itself. Probably have the support pumper set up as a Brush truck filler as well. You could fill one every minute or two...
FDNY had a similar setup in the late 60s/early 70s, look up the super pumper, it was a pump big enough that it had its only trailer and the deck gun was off a fire boat
FDNY now has Dutch HyTrans unit(s), based on hydraulic driven submersible pumps, often carried in standard pods. This system is based on the same principle, only bigger scale. Probably HyTrans as well. So probably Dutch
Where are the firefighters supposed to get all this water to feed such a truck. It seems half the major fires involve fire fighters struggling to find adequate water, especially in California or New Jersey.
Marvelous equipment for oil and chemical industry ;18,000 gpm can bring any fire down. logistics remain a concern for it would cost a fortune to have everything (water, foam, hoses, ect) available to make it work. otherwise it could be just a waste of money. i hope one day i will be the distributer of this machine in Saudi Arabia and the middle east
In some applications I can see this being used, but look at all the equipment you need to operate the thing. If you were on a crowded street there's no room for all this stuff also where are you going to find a hydrant that puts out enough water pressure to feed this thing and keep up with it?
Yeah ok, so either your company made a horrible purchase by not first checking to see if you can actually purchase it or you are a liar. ..I assume it is the latter since not even the worst board would vote to purchase a truck without running the numbers on if they could use it. Sorry but not sorry to call you out.
There's a formula for water and the size of fire. Gallons per minute in the right place vs. BTU or the heat of the fire. It takes time to put water in the right place. I can think of places this equipment would be fantastic. Oil refinery/storage maybe. In my small town the water tower would be empty in minutes at full chat. Better hope the fire is out. We were spit balling, for a rural volunteer F.D. I'm in Canada where 85% of firefighters are volunteers. 69% in the States.
Good observation, but that all depends on the application. This trucks primary function is quick attack in industrial facilities where high pressure hydrants and mobile pumps systems are in place.
Not practical? Maybe not in the US, but in Europe this CONCEPT has proven to be VERY practical and efficient. It's based on a Dutch concept from the 80's with hydraulic driven, submersible pumps, seperated generators carried in pods/containers or (like in this case) trailers. Just put down the generator, put the pump in the water and deploy the hose to the incident site. All in one container, which can be carried by any (civil) container truck. Over here, units (only smaller) are located over the country is such a way, the system can be deployed within 30mins after request and supply up to 4000 lpm over 1000m. Need more? Eg for industrial purposes like this, it't a matter of scaling. They build large scale versions, to be used in case of flooding etc, capable of up to 50000 lpm
is it practical or not practical!! The answer depends on your risk scenario and calculation (you may decide that it is cheaper for you to let your facility burn to the ground). Having a very long experience in the oil and Petrochem industry i am convinced this is the best toy to to deal with a oil tanks field that has multiple tanks with 300ft dia (needs a lot of pre-planning though). Nice conversation
The only department that should possess this thing would be FDNY. It would be great for the junkyard fires they have. States should own one to go all over where ever it is needed.
This is kind of sad. This foreign made , and the pull behind draft pumps have been available for sometime. But lack of pre-fire planning by the Paris F.D.,and city of Paris thought nothing like this was needed for a major city, with a large river running through it. No true pre-fire planning for a beautiful relic like Notre Dame Cathedral. This is nothing but pure negligence.
Hahahaha, here I was thinking this was a serious publicity video - until I heard the kiddy music. Shame this was uploaded by somebody who has spent more time popping zits than as a grown up.
There are some fires that you can't let just burn. The extend reach capabilities of this truck was designed specifically for protecting the lives of firefighters. We have also developed this remote monitor to reduce risk to firefighters...have a look ruclips.net/video/0TJVBiupWvc/видео.html
Every fire department should get one. In most fires this would be the only truck you need.
With all that pressure I'm kind of surprised it doesn't need outriggers to keep it from tipping over.
Paul was tired of being bullied by the other kids and their super soakers...........

massive market for industrial emergency response trucks. Big fire needs big water.
My back hurts just thinking of re-packing that hose.
Ours too...that's why we built an automated hose recovery vehicle that deploys and picks up the hose!!!
Lol
You’re telling me
@@UsfirepumpCompany I was going to make a joke about running the water sprayers pumps in reverse to suck the hoses back in, but your solution sounds a lot more likely to work.
Right?

Chuck Norris wants his shower system back after you're done goofing around in that pond.
Yeah you right
That Truck is cool! I wish this Model of Ferrara Deluge Truck could be on First Gear

By the way, that's about how much water flows through the Mississippi River every 2-3 seconds.
That's the point...using technology and creativity to solve real world problems.
Good luck getting the good ole government to go for something practical
This fire truck could put out a dry brush fire in seconds, awesome!!!
This fire truck could put out a dry brush fire in seconds, awesome!!!
Imagine if this thing had a water tank..... 5 seconds later: alright we're out of water!
Amazing, and versatile. 6 inlets at the back, reducing obstruction!
Exactly!!!
Where was this truck when we had the wild California fires? we need this in California!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CA need one of these now
That truck is awesome but damn, please consider using less shitty noise next time.
Haha...will consider it. What would you recommend?

Was this used in the itc fire in Texas? If yes kindly post video
I could see the FDNY having one or 2 of these, or even 5, one for each Borough of NYC.
These are specialty apparatus, primary used for oil refineries. FDNY and most major departments have something smaller and not as powerful.

How long to get all those pumps set up thgh. Curious at how fast it can be deployed.

Which training facility are you doing this demo at?
LSU Fire Emergency Training Institute in Baton Rouge
Why don't forest fire departments invest in 10 of these?
The most water, as fast as possible.
AutoZone called. They want their commercial theme music back.
I wish I had money for this because this could actually work as a wild fire defense for a town...
I would hate to load all that LDH afterwards.
Chris Phillips ikr
When you’d rather hit it from the front ramp than the front yard
The hose lines are fat enough for a person to slide through!
Perhaps it could be used as a new form of transportation?
Possibly...12" hose has less friction loss and way more efficient
Very Impressive!!
i think they thses on more fire truck it who'd help fighting fires in big way like warehouses or bored walk fires it just some house fires
Was this filmed at FETI?
Yes it was
US Fire Pump Very nice. :-) Wish Exxon had that back in '89
Where is that training facility?!?
LSU Fire Emergency Training Institute in Baton Rouge
@@UsfirepumpCompany Should let TEEX play with one >:)
That system should have been mounted on a Mack truck!
That could happen...

Chuck Norris jizzing
How high was that monitor firing that water?
dancingkitty11 I’m thinking close to 200 feet maybe more
I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see the comments, it takes a tremendous amount of water to use these types of apparatus.........
holy L.D.H.
How much does the 12" fitting weigh?
If you have to ask..
Artillery against fire.
That has to be in the top ten of totally irritating, non-relevant music I have ever heard in regards to fire apparatus!!
If they want their back washed we have soap too...
We bought this pumper. But our tanker shuttle just can't keep up. So we just use it for parades.
Really...

Great truck. Shitty music.
Damn music.
Tough for a rural fire department using tanker relays LOL.
Every fifteen to thirty seconds. Fun to watch though. Single lane road, ...
Wouldn’t this put out a fire so fast it wouldn’t need as many water tankers in the long run? Really, just wondering.

i think the french could have used this recently
I think Grenfell Tower London could have done with those.
It seems the pressure is generated by the pumps, in effect you have a convoy of hardware. Nice idea but not too practical.
Good observation, but that all depends on the application. This trucks primary function is quick attack in industrial facilities where high pressure hydrants and mobile pumps systems are in place.

oh ok lets just let things burn to the ground and rebuild every time they burn down smh like people got money to just burn
