Thanks for your input. We were the only appliance dealing with this quite large flare-up initially. My offsider went further up and I bowled the two canvas hoses where they would be of most use to check the grader was safe and it didn't jump. Our aim at this stage was to knock it down and stop spreading, not black out. We do only carry 1400L of water on that truck and the nearest water source was difficult and time consuming to get to. I'm sure you appreciate this!
It's a Contour Roam2 mounted with one of the included side profile mounts. I went with the Contour over the GoPro because it is more practical for helmet mounting.
I only just got my BF, studying as much as I can so I can have an idea of what to do on the fireground haha. I do train, but have yet to go on a call out
was this just straight water? i thort i saw a hint of class A foam at times? good work mate and good footage, a few things that probly wernt done to the SOP's but hey, when the shit hits the fan, do what works.
Interesting vegetation and fuel make up. I'm in Canada and I love seeing vegetation fires in all other parts of the world. Thank you. Stay safe. Also here in this particular province, we fight forest fires very aggressively. We try to hit them hard while they're small. There's a fleet of water bombers at an FPL base nearby which used to have beautiful TBM avengers for fighting fires, now I think they use Air Tractor 802's and one Air Tractor 802A with bird dogs and support planes.
Hey, have tried it at interior fires, high temp situations, does the body withstand the heat, is there a plastic cover infront of the lens, like the old one, or is it glass? I'm between buying the Roam2 or one from Fire Cam, main problem with the Fire Cam is that it isn't available in Europe which means taxes added to the price.
tzq33tdq a lot of the time in Tasmania we can’t get out trucks in close enough to the fire and would need to use a fair few lengths of hose therefore we use 25mm so it’s lighter and easier to drag through the bush
Cameron James you need to hit the base of the fire and smother it and I think spray is less effective at doing that, not a fireman so that's just a best guess.
OP, You’ve hit the nail but not quite squarely. Spray is ‘messy’ whereas jet is more ‘direct’. You can do more with jet than what you can with spray but use more water consequently. Spray will just ‘tickle’ the fire he is trying to put out. Jet will blast it completely out. We’re trained to do this. We know what we’re doing buddy :) I’m a Volunteer Bush Firefighter in regional Western Australia. I’m still waiting for clearance from my captain to be able to record footage of what I do.
In really hot fires and flare ups, sprays are ineffective as the water is spread out more and not concentrated, sometimes this means a lot of it is evaporated before it hits the base of the fire
I'm amazed that you haven't built a couple of breakers like we have here on the east coast of the US. We take the trucks into the woods and use the truck as a work platform. Any trees in front of us we just run them over. ruclips.net/video/kMKj4myA66A/видео.html
@@G-force_Motorsport Our trucks are eith 4X6 or 4 X 10 wheel drive. A lot of them are converted retired military trucks. The 4 X 6 carry up to 750 gallons of water and the 4 X 10 up to 1,000 gallons. A lot of times the trucks are used to suppliment tankers at building fires in remote areas where the is no water systems to tie into a hydrant. The good thing about them is they are a pump and roll truck. Which uses a seperate 2 cylinder engine to run the pump.
If you don't get rid of the hotspots first, then they keep burning through the bits that I've just put out, remember that the fire there burns much more intensely and hotter so it is very difficult to come back and have to put out the spots I've just done as well as the hotspots

Great knock down with such a little water supply
Great video bud. Awesome perspective, keep up the great work!

This video is really awesome by the way!

Is that a spare live reel on the back of that 7?
You guys are true heroes
What size hose lines did you lay?
+Luke Broomberg He used a 25mm
@@Eshayzbra96 we only have 25 on the live hose reel on our tanker, the rest are 38 or 64

blacking out is so messy hey mate im a aux and rural fighterfughter in qld
That’s quite a widowmaker you’re spraying down.
G&S are my favourite callouts, I have a lot of fun on them. (Please note: a good day is a day when there are zero callouts)
Great job but keep your hose in the green (unburned)
As long as there is water running through the hose, it should be Ok
Thanks I hope all the fire fighters have a great life.
Y don't u turn the hose on spray?? It well be Easyer and you well use less water
Using less water isn't effective in knocking down fire sometimes mate.
It depends on the situation and what sort of burn the fire is

Wow cool how you guys fight those fires. Must be annoying with all that smoke blowing in your face.
its okay, they have protective gear to ensure they dont get injured or sick, the smoke would just brush past them

Pretty cool rigs. A lot of the terrain we have here is steep or rocky though, even bulldozers can't easily get into a lot of it.

Hello from tassie
first off put the fire out before you worry bout the hot spots you see red you put it out then then the hot spots.
If you don't get rid of the hotspots first, then they keep burning through the bits that I've just put out, remember that the fire there burns much more intensely and hotter so it is very difficult to come back and have to put out the spots I've just done as well as the hotspots
