Little overkill on the fire extinguishers? You don't start blasting until you get within range of the fuel. It just wastes the extinguishing agent to start blasting from 10m feet away.
1st guy in a white shirt is quick with the fire extinguisher, but doesn't have a clue how to use one. Aim at the BASE of the fire! Chase the flames from there! Friend of mine had his appartment building burn down because of that shit. People on the scene emptied five or six extinguishers at it, but kept aiming at the flames, not the fuel, and it was therefore completely ineffective, goodbye whole damn building.
The number of people jumping on it after the fact almost makes sense with that info - better to dogpile it than fail because you haven't been properly trained, or even bothered to look up lifesaving information.
Gregg, I disagree! He should not be hanged, he should be soaked in gasoline and set on fire, as he had planned for the occupant of the car. Then his family should be charged for the gasoline and match, as well as repair of the damage to the car.
I had hoped that by the time the fourth or fifth firefighter joined in, and the fire was out, or nearly so, it would enter into his head to close the driver's side door to minimize the fire retardant getting into the interior of the car.

ReplyDeleteWas that crew race prepped? Man that was well coordinated.
ReplyDeleteA$$hole!
ReplyDeleteWow. that is a lot of fire extingishers.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know the back story on this -
ReplyDelete1 - Did the driver know the guy who torched his car?
2 - What's the foreign language on the audio of the video?

If there were ever a person that should be hung by the neck in the Town Square that was him.

DeleteInteresting that no one chased the idiot who started the fire.... but man, there were more extinguishers used than I've ever seen before.
ReplyDeleteI have seen that many extinguishers used just ONCE before - it was during the TRAINING CLASS on how to use an extinguisher.
DeleteThe school filled a trough with kerosene, lit it, and thirty attendees practiced putting it out until we all ran out of CO2.
This isn't the first of this type of video I've seen just today.
ReplyDeleteIs this a new game/challenge out there?
Scurvy
Now I'd like to see the beat down video on the individual that started that BS.
ReplyDeleteRecipient for jagoff of the year award.
ReplyDeleteLicense plates look European.(?) Wonder if it was a gangland attack or just some psychotic on the loose.
ReplyDeleteGood on the crew for the quick and effective reaction to snuff the fire. Put that scenario in any large US city and the whole station burns down.

ReplyDeleteplates are Peoples' Republic China. Looks like fire starter drove away in car upper right.
ReplyDeleteThought it was a new form of car jacking.
ReplyDeletethat dude's and her lack of situational awareness will get he and her killed. how could both not see a lurker standing there?
ReplyDeleteEvery Sunday I practice Wim Hof breathing to prevent possible heart attack from a Sunday Video. Patting myself on the back right here.
ReplyDeleteSome people, jeeze! Ohio Guy
ReplyDeleteThey treat fire extinguishers like cow bells over there!
ReplyDeleteThey got a fever!
DeleteLooks like a... Chinese Fire Drill.
ReplyDeleteI thought for sure someone would beat me to it.
