I’ve had my ass saved by a national guard airport fire truck. They brought their boom truck out after lightning caused a fire at a series of large crude oil tanks. When one ruptured unexpectedly (and in a way it shouldn’t have been able to) they came and sank their truck in a field and started flowing massive amounts of class A foam on the fire. It knocked the fire down enough for us to get ourselves out of what would have been a death trap. It was so hot it literally was melting our fire hose, gear, and did 40k in damage to our truck. Hats off to the ladies and gentlemen working airport fire service.
Class A on hydrocarbons?
Can't be class A I'm an Arff and an operator I wouldn't use class A on that fire
Why fire trucks are kept?
Let me guess... in case of fire??
A recent video said "Landing an aircraft involves reducing altitude"
On top of factual errors. You're doing great!!
You chose the easy question to answer, didn't you?

BonHomme Richard was moored in San Diego, not San Francisco. Ship was ultimately scrapped.
The fine was a high profile display of incompetence and the result of poor emergency planning. Somehow nobody bothered to pay attention.
@@hewhohasnoidentity4377 ok
I noticed that too. What the was San Francisco doing in San Diego? It's my understanding that there was limited crew on board her when the fire started. If I'm not mistaken, the origin was an amphibious vehicle below decks in the vehicle bay. I doubt that anyone was down there while in Port and 8s probably a contributing factor to why the fire got out of control.
@@SocialistDistancing There were no SFFD units responding, it was SDFD plus military damage control units stationed around San Diego. A sailor was also charged with arson for intentionally starting the fire.
The US Navy Ship fire was fought by San Diego Fire Department, the US Federal Fire Department and multiple surrounding agencies. Not San Francisco.
Their is a US federal fire service?
San Francisco did get involved but only for the first day or two
@@thegoldeneagle9890 Umm no they didn’t. That’s geographically impossible being San Francisco is in Northern California and the incident happened in San Diego which is Southern California.
@@willydmoore3921 I meant San Diego
Because fire. That’s why.
Quick question how did the San Francisco Fire Department end up in San Diego to fight the fire on the USS Bonhomme Richard?
Mutual aid agreement that pertains to assisting in staffing the city and helping fight the fire. A fire like that takes up massive amounts of resources and can last days, utilizing hundreds if not firefighters to assist in suppression and overhaul
@@samuelcaballero9966 There are dozens of airports that have ARFF equipment between the two Locations. It makes a hell of a lot more sense to Call LAX than to call SF. Its an error in reporting.
Why do fire trucks exist and why have them on standby? Ah, in case of fire 🤷🏻♂️
That A380 is huge dam.

What did you do with our logo?
Ok now u guys can check ez
When a French ocean liner caught fire in NY (I think) so much water was poured into it, it turned sideways and sank.
Yeah. That was the Normandie, at one of the New York City berths.
It was being made into a troop ship during World War Two.
The architect of the ship was in New York at the time, and asked to help, and suggest they let the ship be lowered into the water, but they wouldn't allow him access, and so the ship turned over on its side. It didn't "sink" as the water was shallow.
It ended up being scrapped.
And as others have said, the naval ship fire in the video was in San Diego, not San Francisco!
'giant floating city' 'a few thousand people'. Boats are TINY compared to even the most modest towns. C'mon, proofread.
That still isn't as bad as the FAA being called the Federation Aviation Administration.
Someone actually wrote that, it was theoretically read and approved, spoken in the recording and it made it through editing.
Super nice and fun for the firefighters but when the cleaners have to clean a all that foam (4:24)…
With the airport hangers, they demonstrated an airport with quite a bit of pocket change; what about airports that don’t have the money for those fire suppression systems, what alternatives do they have? Would it be just the crash tenders or what are the options?
These ARFF trucks (or crash tenders) are fitted with a structure panel system as well as hundreds of feet of hose and other tools to fight structure fires with handlines. There is also an adequate supply of SCBA for a team to fight a fire inside of a hangar or building. We also train for structure fires and extrication techniques as well. Our first call for such fire would be to a City Fire Dept to assist us, but yes we can attack and defend a structure fire if needed.handling. some airports are structured differently though.
“Protect aircraft against millions of dollars of damage” yea how bout the millions its gonna cost you to clean that AFFF outta those components. Its a spare parts plane at that point
Probably not even that. The impact and heat could damage basically everything part on there.
The USS Bonhomme Richard was having refit to equip with the f-35b and had it’s fire suppression system turned off
As of yesterday, 20 sailors were punished in their actions for not fighting the fire on the naval boat
San Diego, not San Francisco.......
That's my job. Aircraft Rescue Firefighting
In Nederland worden de bluswagens en tenders van burger en mililtaire vliegbasis, gebruikt bij grote in zet voor burgermaatschapij, zoals de bijlmerramp en de vuurwerkramp
Considering plane can cost hundreds of millions, million dollar fire trucks seem like a drop in the bucket even though they are not a revenue source, even though they have a little over a third the the service life (10-12 yrs.) of a commercial aircraft.
Yes I sure enjoyed it awesome
0:42 it’s crazy how that plane no longer exists!
Was thinking the same thing
Huh, I always wondered what would happen if a plane crashed and caught fire
Luckily, that has never happened before ;)
Sorry to p--ss on your parade, the latest Airport crash rescue tender cannot compete seriously off road with a sixty year old Alvis Salamander ,an airport fire engine jointly developed by Alvis and Pyrene. Based on Alvis,s Stalwart 6x6 go anywhere supply lorry designed for the British Army, to supply their tank battalions. the Salamander despite its drawbacks can go anywhere and swims. Its six independently sprung wheels are arranged like the legs of a beetle hence its phenomenal off roadability ,each driven via a Rolls Royce B80 straight eight petrol engine , a Daimler preselector gearbox and Alvis Straussler X-drive transfer box. Think what a hi-tech Salamander in 8x8 form can do for an airports crash rescue service.
Czech airlines 💪💪
San Diego firefighting not San Francisco
You really feel the need to ask this question? Sheesh.
Pra que botar fogo o que pertence aos outros para ter ibope em mídia ou ate matar para roubar? Nada neste mundo é oculto aos olhos do Senhor Jesus Cristo!
San Diego Fire, not SF Fire.
Stock footage overload
“ and to this day, fire has caused the most damage to this planet so far “
Atomic bomb: “are you sure about that..”
Well certainly clear that "Atomic bomb" has done almost zero damage compared to dozens of other damaging activities.
@@JimWhitaker have you seen a fire wipe out 2 city’s for hundreds of years?
@@StreetSr have you seen how many fires there are compared to nuclear bombs but if all the nukes launched now yep they would be the most destructive thing ever
This is a strong contender for the worst RUclips I have been offered this month.
Insurance companies
Very strange video. Shallow information, lacking any interesting facts (e. g. the times airport FD has to respond within according to ICAO). Overall, quite strange video
👍👍👍
Why do I need a video explaining why airports have fire trucks on standby. No shit Sherlock planes crash sometimes and they need fire trucks. Wtf.. this video exists only for a pay day
Danke für nix 😂 deutscher titel und im video wird englisch geredet
1. Weltsprache, lern sie halt.
2. Hast nix verpasst.
Jesus loves you please give him a chance if you haven't yet by repenting from your sins and accepting Jesus christ as your lord and savior. Believe in your heart and Confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord over your life.
Jesus is coming soon
