Vehicle Fire Safety

While it is easy to sit back and critique an obvious lack of fundamentals, none of us are immune to making mistakes. The more complicated this job becomes, the more important it becomes for us to train on the basics. After the video, discuss the firefighting basics that were forgotten here. Here are a couple of my observations; what else did you notice and what would you do?

1. Stage upwind/uphill whenever possible.
2. Chock the wheels.
3. Don't stretch the line through burning fuel.
4. Attack from a 45 degree angle.
5. Water supply and back-up, this isn't your typical vehicle fire.
6. Every vehicle fire is a haz-mat incident.
