Engine #1 of the Stoughton Fire Department in Wisconsin, heads down the road to extinguish a car fire. My on board camera system records this incident and others for safety/training. As close as you can be to the real thing.

Good video fro SFD, 1.5 is plenty for a car fire. That was our SOG as well. You guys don’t have a front bumper mounted 1.5 or trashline?

Well, What I mean …
Well, What I mean is if I did not have any eye protection or protective clothing. I am planning / hoping to be a firefighter later in life. That’s my dream career. Otherwise I wouldn’t be watching these videos.
This is why they …
This is why they are some that are firefighters like me and people like you. We love being there and that rush but mainly it is just to help people. Yeah the chances are pretty good the gas tank will go, but before that we are more worried about the tires and the shocks blowing up at us or the mercury
Man who ever was on …
Man who ever was on the Q siren they were’nt even tapping it ….. Dover and Camden DE they lay on it and never let go they make sure everyone knows that their there!

were firefighters thats a risk we have to take.
I would not get …
I would not get that close to a burning car, if the gas tank catches fire the whole car could explode. I think it woulld have been safer to keep a little further away from the burning cars.

mfdbenji I think you need to quit while your ahead. There are us volunteers that live in the sticks and tones are scratchy and you cant talk to anybody else till your a few miles from the house. There is also the dispatcher too where I live ours suck we only have a couple good ones but the rest suck.
I guess everyone …
I guess everyone has there own opinions… but sit in the dispatchers shoes… you have no idea what else may be going on in the Center- And them saying the address 3 times is time consuming
I AM a dispatcher, …
I AM a dispatcher, and I know first hand how many times I have had to repeat an address…but you’ll never hear me complain about it, because that’s what they pay me to do! And I’m a fire-fighter too, so you know I’ve asked for an address more than once myself! I guess it’s all dependent on your prospective! Be safe!
I agree, captive–I …
I agree, captive–I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought I heard one address [when either waking up or running out the door] only to realize that we’re going to a completely different house!!
Better safe than sorry, right
Yeah, because …
Yeah, because that’s not the dispatchers job or anything, right? On the initial dispatch the firefighter might be on their way running to the engine or to their car to get to the firehouse.
