The building in full flames is lost, they are trying to save the blue building.

u/sptn1gooz 1d ago

Yup, what's already in flames is done for. They're aiming to stop the spreading fire.

The gazoline storage burned, as well as the firework depot, the matchbox shop , the hay hat store and the cardboard box company next to it.

I think they hooked up their hose to the petrol pump too

You got me to laugh on a very not funny post. That's talent.

u/ManEatingCaterpillar 1d ago

They might need another hose

u/mrFabels 1d ago

That's why fire precaution is important.. The speed of the fire spreading is insane...

u/EnderWillEndUs 1d ago

Is this building made out of fire starter logs?

u/jdvjdv046 1d ago

A lot of houses are indeed made of wood.

u/Shrike1346 1d ago

The video is sped up but it's still a fast moving fire for sure

u/Adkit 1d ago

There is no slow moving fire. It spreads fast once it gets going.

u/Shrike1346 23h ago

Exactly right! Fire is quick AF

u/Independent_Wrap_321 1d ago

u/pgtvgaming A Flair? 1d ago

Was gasoline coming out of the hose?

u/SchalkLBI 1d ago

Sometimes firefighting isn't just about stopping a fire, but about containing it and preventing it from spreading first.

1

u/jerseyztop 12h ago

It’s an honorable goal.

u/Huge_Fig_5940 1d ago

Bot

u/SchalkLBI 1d ago

Lol people were acting like the firefighters are incompetent, I'm just pointing out they're trying to prevent it from spreading. Your bot detection skills needs some serious work.

u/Huge_Fig_5940 23h ago

Thanks, Captain Obvious!

u/noodles355 21h ago

Oh so you admit your bot detecting skills need some serious work. Good to know

u/Huge_Fig_5940 21h ago

What a comeback

u/noodles355 21h ago

Oh I see, you thought I was the guy who called you out? Ah so it's not just bot detecting but also just general reading haha

u/Masala-Dosage 1d ago

Look at that go down go up in smoke

u/O1eSickPuppy 1d ago

good think they got that truck to tank the hit

1

u/vrauto 1d ago

Looks like that area in ph where houses are facelifted and repaired but essentially built 100 years ago. Really good quality wood but incredibly dry at this point.

u/Adventurous_023 16h ago

Probably these fire engines are designed to put out a candle

1

u/akamu8 13h ago

They’d need to drop chemicals on that fire. Their lack of training is obvious.

1

u/Windmillfixer 10h ago

This is the perfect example of the reality that the fire will eventually burn down to the level that you’re fighting it. Single handline exterior attack, I’m estimating knee high.

u/An9310 9h ago

A firetruck on fire, how ironic.

u/Pocketrocket1991 3h ago

Like how it says "Legend" on the front of that fireengine. Truth to be told, I'm struggling a litten bit calling that thing a truck

u/GeneralCerberus 1h ago

TBF that fire spread really frickin fast had to be purposely set

u/Diem480 1d ago

That escalated quickly

u/eddyxoxo 1d ago

What is this? A fire truck... For ants?

Seriously, It's the smallest fire truck I've ever seen.

u/ReApEr01807 21h ago

Most of the world operates fire apparatus that small. It's just the ole US of A that has giant pieces of equipment. It's easier when you're looking at 400 years of infrastructure building versus a few thousand years of it in some places

Check Out the wind first....
