Fire Truck Goes Down While Fighting A 10,000 Acre Wildfire!



This type 4 wild land fire engine was working on the Crazy Creek Fire in the Ochoco National Forest, which as of editing this video is 15,000 acres and 0% contained, when it went into limp mode due to an emissions derate. Luckily the crew was able to drive it away from the active fire and down to base camp where they sent me to go pick it up, but this just goes to show how dangerous this emissions equipment is on these emergency vehicles. There is absolutely nothing physically wrong with the truck that should stop it from functioning as normal and continuing to do its job. But due to some sensor or computer glitch, the truck was brought down in a dangerous situation with a crew of fire fighters out on the line. Now on top of that, the truck has to be towed to a dealership where it will be out of commission for who knows how long during a time when we are already stretched WAY too thin on fire fighting resources.

  1. Update: This fire is now over 60,000 acres.

    Also, the truck is too tall to go on the deck, no you can’t just put the transfer case in neutral, and leaving it idle to keep transmission fluid pumping would be a $25k gamble that a truck that’s already in derate wouldn’t shut itself off if left idling for an hour and a half.

  2. When you were using your calculator you punched in the wrong number. You can fix this. Just swipe across the digital numbers, it will remove the last digits one at a time. That way you don't loose all of your previous entries.

  3. I agree with everyone else. Those diesel emission systems are a joke. And they’re a major safety hazard. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that they’ve caused accidents.

  4. So Casey, we all know California is demonizing Diesel trucks. Soon to be banned in certain areas. I know you have the trucks you have just to satisfy California emissions DEF and all. I have noticed that you have subtly dropped hints that you have interest in Edison Motors from BC. To be honest do you believe that California will allow hybrid trucks? You are still burning the evil fossil fuel, and not contributing to the Zero emissions goal? I personally believe that we need small steps to achieve a smaller footprint everyone strives for. I really believe in what the logger/ Hybrid guys are shooting for.😊 Just my two cents, and I hope you actually read my post. Hopefully others will too and check in on the boys from BC. Yeah Casey when you dropped names in the second border crossing fiasco I knew you were watching the boys from central BC.😊

  5. Did you forget your strap on the drive line? Or are you just giving to the state? Or did you just fail to show us that part? Questions upon questions, I know it's views not comments that work that voodoo stuff on here.😅
