Attention motorists: no police officer is going to ticket you for going through a red light when there is a fire engine with lights/sirens activated and horn blaring right behind you. Move your damn vehicle!
Never thought of that but it really makes sense.
true tho
Well, in the U.K. you get the ticket. No excuses for going through a red light. It’s mad. And stupid.
In other countries you might get a ticket for not getting out of the way.
@@marks2731 you don't have to go right through, just pull forward enough, done it lots of times in UK
I am shocked at how unresponsive the public was in terms of getting out of the way for the emergency vehicles. Otherwise, first half of the video was awesome. I would have preferred seeing the firefighting than the view from the command truck for the second half though.
thats denver for ya. dont give a fuck about ANYthing cept for themselves or whatevers on their goddamned cell phones. -while driving-.
Was thinking exactly the same. But I suppose its difficult to concentrate on browsing Facebook and driving at the same time.
Ikr
kcgunesq, this is how people are here in Denver. Only car about them selves.
Yes but sometimes the firetruck is just making dumb decision. Just because you need to turn left on an intersection doesn't mean that you need to use the left lane. Take 5:35 for example. The right lane is almost empty with just two cars sitting on it. Why on earth would you choose to box yourself in by using a full left lane with a full lane next to it?
It looks so stressful to be an emergency vehicle driver. All these people not paying attention, not wanting to miss a light, etc. while you're trying to get on scene. Much respect.
Yeah, in Norway it’s the opposite, here there is almost no vehicle that does not stop
I’m still in school and I remember our bus driver once ran a red light to yield to an ambulance, traffic with the green light let the bus driver & the ambulance go. Our driver really deserves a reward.
Seriously? You are kidding right? I've driven long haul semi's on sheet ice in the dead of winter on steep hills, that is dangerous, driving these trucks through traffic is NOTHING. Now I drive 70,000 articulated busses in heavy traffic with maniac drivers cutting me off and slamming their brakes on in front of me, THAT is stressful!
@@peterjones4621 Bruh, that’s not what he’s talking about man.
@@peterjones4621 Imagine going 90 in a 55, I bet you don’t do that. I hate people like you, we try to give people credit & you come in the way telling us that they don’t deserve the credit, because it’s easy?? these people might have saved your life.
This incident had everything. Black smoke, fuel fire, police, air port equipment, limited water, crazy drivers not moving, and insane shooter. Bless all first responders. You are all heros. Thank you.
Being a firefighter and Chief, of 34 yrs of service. Cannot believe, it took, so long, to get a water source. Especially, with a large, city department, like this. Hopefully, this was a great, lesson learned, and will help improve, there future incidents!
@@diggitydog2383 I'm so glad our safety region has invested in dedicated water tankers, dedicated pump trucks and hose trucks. When water is needed where it isn't readily available, they can order the units to the nearest water source and start rolling the hoses out, filling them as they are being rolled out.
It's unbelievable how ignorant and oblivious most drivers are. Get the hell out of the way, QUICKLY, and do it as soon as possible, not when you're already blocking emergency vehicles. The stupid makes my head hurt.
Shadyn Ebey that shits a felony, I believe, too
I can't help but wonder if that level of stupidity has something to do with weed being legal in Colorado. Just sayin'.
You can BET MONEY that if I have to fight morons through traffic to get to my scene.... I am shutting down the WHOLE of the lanes for the safety of my crew. And it STAYS that way til the wrecker leaves.
Shadyn Ebey ikr like get tf out of the way
it does explain all the motor vehicle accidents every year
So...... drivers aren’t going to follow protocol & fully stop so the emergency 🚨 vehicle can go ? They still driving like it’s nothing . . 🤦🏽♀️
I wish all emergency vehicles had the blaring siren and loud ass horn that the fire trucks do. Nobody wants to get in the way off that, lol
its colorado people are bad drivers here or everyone is high. lol who knows?
In order to move out of the way, they need to move the vehicle to one side, stopping the vehicle would just hinter the emergency services
What do you think thats America that doesnt happen in Eu
Foreigners tbh, not colorado natives, they need a giant cow catcher for all the sheep
Sir, did you know that: *Your incident has been updated*
For all the people complaining about the amount of firefighters standing around, it was not manpower they needed, it was trucks. no water supply on the motorway so more trucks the better for ferrying water. similar thing happened to us when a truck/semi caught fire - 8 trucks attended even though only 2 crews max needed. 5-6 km to nearest water supply so all night had appliances in constant rotation
Me too, me too.
Legend has it the incident is still being updated.
NO FUCKING SHIT

@@spedgonzales3683 it’s not necessarily a joke
@@dupl1cated477 holy crap dude who peed in your cereal
That engine was a boss with the horn. Move tf away if you hear a fire truck siren.
Exactly! Thats why they have loud horns because they be trying to get to their scene of the emergency call so thats why they always blow the horn because they need to move they be in the way they need to move
The helment cam was the best part of this video. It actually showed what was going on in real time as to how they went about trying to put out the fire. Need a lot more of the helment cam content.
Not surprising to see drivers totally oblivious to the red emergency vehicle with flashing lights and siren. Great POV*****
That's the first thing I thought. Amazing how people sit there and watch an emergency vehicle with lights and siren and decided that they're gonna keep on going and make the fire truck wait.
obstruction of emergency vehicles is a crime in germany.....

It was fuel adding water to fuel doesn’t do sh*t buddy. Your so ignorant it doesn’t shock me that you didn’t know that maybe just maybe they let it burn out all the fuel and block off traffic to not waste water by doing nothing and letting it explode from a safe distance.
The drivers over there seem always a little slow on reacting and giving way for Emergency vehicles. Is that a problem for you or completly normal?
BEST OF DASHCAM EUROPE some places you get drivers that don’t care. where i live it’s illegal to not give way to an emergency vehicle. just depends on the place
I'll never forget when I saw an ambulance stuck behind a van in the left lane. The van would not move over. It literally just slowed down to 20 mph in hopes that the ambulance would just go around it. Never seen anything like it.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life ㅡ John 3:16
Most places a lot of people either don’t pay attention, or don’t care and are CONVINCED there is no emergency and those trucks and cop cars just want to speed, so they don’t move. I personally think fire trucks and ambulances should be equipped with push bars and should be able to move cars that arent getting out of their way
I work at the I-25 and Orchard Exit. I remember watching this from office window and local news station was covering it live. Driver barely made it out alive, but was not injured. Pretty crazy.
Watching this remembering living at Orchard & University many years ago. This must be close to where I worked at Allstate Regional Office off I-25.
Thank you! I was wondering what the outcome of the driver was! Did they ever say what happened to cause this

During a recent tanker fire here on Long Island, they mobilized at least one crash rescue from the local airport about 15 minutes away, this was able to do a great job on the knockdown but this was a great use of relay pumping with multiple engine companies.

@@jolly25071 what'cha wearin?
From what I see the firefighters did a good job considering how stubborn this fire was. I saw the smoke from wheat ridge.
Allison I saw the smoke from Lakewood. Agreed, these firefighters/EMS/police all did a great job in managing this level of emergency on the busiest highway in the Denver metro area. Great work and great response.
One of the busiest intersections in the world is I-25 and Colorado Blvd.
@@MrDeedsly live right by that intersection, just about every day 1-2 accidents happen.

never really thought about it, but damn the fact that the availability of hydrants on the highway/freeway are super limited must suck.
That’s why tenders are a thing.
@@venomcrusher4312 chicken tenders?? (Damn now im kinda hungry) Anyway, do tenders carry water to trucks whn hydrants arent avaliable?

Ich glaube das Feuer brennt noch immer. Die warten bis das Feuer so gut wie aus ist, und dann warten die Feuerwehrleute bis es wieder brennt. So bekommt man das Feuer aber nicht aus.
Hundert man und kein Befehl.
In Norway even if it's rush hour, people clean the road for emergency vehicle within second's.
good for you.....
Why are people in the comments pressed about this lmao

I'm glad we have brave firefighters in our world.. Thanks
Looks like they are just hanging arround chatting and the fire is raging. Lift a finger and get the job done ffs
That’s what gets me upset so much when people they don’t pull over and let the fire trucks and ambulance passed through this is so rude of people when they have their lights on you have to pull over to make way for emergency vehicles great video
Want to be more upset? If an EMS or Firetruck swipe you because they couldn’t get past. They’re responsible not the person who didn’t pull over.
@@coyoterx6002 actually the people who didn't pulled over they are responsible not the firefighters
David Reviews If it went to court the driver of the non-emergency vehicle would be at fault. As far as the fire/police/ambulance departs go. If you trade paint with a vehicle that didn’t move out of the way, they see it as the emergency vehicle operator driving reckless and the driver of the emergency vehicle is going to be written up for that. As well forced to attended a recertification course for driving emergency vehicles.
If an emergency vehicle with siren on runs a red light and crashes into another vehicle going through a green light, its the emergency vehicle driver's fault
@@henriknrr2458 no the emergency vehicle has the right of way and the driver of the car has to yield to that emergency vehicle
Damn they even brought out an airport truck, those guys are always stingy as fuck about leaving the airport
Lolll
This Department (South Metro) they run both the municipal and airport stuff for the area. they have 3 ARFF rigs all of which are kept off-airport property at 2 sperate stations (both are only a few min drive from the airport but not on it), makes it a lot easier for them to use those truck on other fires.
@@nickbricks8017 yep Red 1 Red 2 and Red 3 awesome trucks!
Red 1(the big one if I rememeber) is multipurpose in SMFR. Its used in the winter during heavy snowfall, used at fuel fires if they are large enough or Airport
"...are always stingy as fuck about leaving the airport..." No they're not. Adults lose that kind of attitude sometime around the time they decide to be responsible.
I'm continually amazed at how long it takes to get water on a fire and then how seemingly inept they are to know where to aim the stream...
44:40 "Possible active shooter on the high way - hide behind your rigs"
This is what I wanna know... why doesn't anyone stop? The emergency vehicle has the right of way. That doesn't mean keep going through the intersection just because it's green. Stop and let the fire truck go!!!
Matt D technically you are supposed to continue through the intersection and once you have completely gone through the emergency vehicle has the right of way. But for the people waiting at the red light were in a predicament because they really couldn’t go anywhere. But i understand what you’re saying.
While I am a strong proponent of slow down/move over and yielding to emergency vehicles, that dump truck may not have heard the fire truck, medium duty diesels can be loud, especially the older ones, it also seemed like he was loaded down and back from the intersection a ways when he started rolling, so by the time he would have heard/seen the engine at the intersection while focusing on shifting and making the turn at an appropriate speed, he wouldn't have been able to stop in time to allow the engine to move forward. The rest of those jackasses should've pulled out of the way, especially that white service body on the freeway that thought he could outrun the chief
man, that fire looked pissed.
Right? It was like ROOoOoOR
Liquid feul fires 😢 its like they haunt I-25 if that road could talk..
John Livingstone cjsy
John Livingstone it's fire.. Dumbass.. It's supposed to look happy like flowers or something
John Livingstone haha yeah
Keep up the good work to all the Firefighters. ❤
Lots of unworthy comments. Point. The foam was working like it was suppose to, but they ran out. The truck only can carry so much. You are seeing the behind the scene view of what actually goes on & the issues involved in a fuel fed fire. People need to keep in mind that not every place in the world is equipped to handle a massive liquid fuel type fire. You can dump water on it, but all your going to do is move the fire around, spread it out. Best to let these types of fires burn themselves out. Great job by local police for getting the traffic on the freeway stopped. Actually people are pretty stupid & so many of them would drive right up to the blazing tanker just to get a selfy. It is important that we get the many views of the responding vehicles. You can clearly see they are all help up by people failing to yield the right of way to the emergency vehicles. Nobody cares, & drives around with the head up the but, even the white utility truck who could clearly see & hear the fire chief coming, and elected to cut him off anyway. The cops did a great job, fire rescue did a great job. Everyone needs to review this video for training. Great stuff. I seen a firetruck that had a snorkel sticking out of the front of the truck in a different video. They sure could of used one here.
Yep. I think more people need to learn how to ask "why", especial if it's pertaining to somones job and what they are doing doesnt seem to make sense.
Fuking pigs screwed it up/got in the firefighter's way.
Phil's Midwest Classic Cars you are Right
The Highway Department could include FIRE HYDRANTS along the freeways when they put forth a design for the roadways… overlooked in every State! Dumb and Dumber in charge of building the Freeways, there is a major waterline off each side of the freeway and only needs an occassional lateral line to the side of the road.
I’m too lazy to read all of this
Love how everyone's bashing SMFR; bunch of self-proclaimed firefighters. I'd honestly love to see y'all manage this scene with flawless grace. Shouldn't be so hard seeing as to that you know exactly what they put up with.
Haha but it wood good comment
The Stig the city needs to evaluate the fire hydrant situation. Maybe duh a bit closer to major highways.
The city would have a pissed off (/and broke) taxpayers situation if they installed hydrants every few hundred feet along every highway. Better idea: They should only install them by the highways where the fires are going to happen.
What You Haven't Seen how are they suppose to predict where fires are going to happen
So you mean to tell me the other engines are saving their water for another fire? Interesting.
I am shocked at the total disregard for the emergency vehicles in traffic, and I am shocked that at 42 min into this video there are still flames. They are both scary.
What is the purpose of Command and Control if not to get water supply lined up for the Truck? It wasn't the responsibility of part of the Truck crew to hike off down the expressway to find an available hydrant. Shameful of the Commander on scene.
@@michaelviens4728 if they have nothing else to do then it is their job edit: are you talking about the engine when you say truck? either way there was enough personal there to split up and try to grab a hydrant earlier

What does active shooter mean in this video I am just wondering because I heard it on his radio and I've been looking through the comments and trying to look up old videos and nothing mentions the active shooter call on the radio
Fairly regular occurrence
I have always been amazed by the lack of attention by people when I was the MPO for our engine company. One would think they would see the column of smoke in the sky and would expect there would be emergency vehicles on their way to this alarm but people are oblivious.
Why the fack ride the emergency vehicle so slowly like people did't stop for the emergency vehicle.
Evotic bro tf it’s because he doesn’t want to hit cars or hurt anyone. Plus it’s a big vehicle. Big vehicles can’t accelerate fast so bro be chill man and they have to get through the traffic cause on some highways there’s a lot of traffic
I had a stroke trying to read that
You know it's intense when the airport firetrucks are needed.
Its there for the foam i'm assuming they carry large amounts of foam to battle aircraft fires with jet fuel whereas standard engines carry limited amount.. tons of water wouldn't put that thing out without foam to smother it
@@dacrew5779 foam also breaks water tension making the use of less on fires, this is really one of the only reasons a standard rig would carry it. Well maybe auto fires or trash fires but foams rarely used
Exactly what I was thinking!!!!
Da Crew yes and airport tankers carry a different kind of foam because jet fuel is a lot stronger just like kerosene!!!!! way hotter burn and harder to put out and burns extremely fast
3% AFFF(Aqueous Film Forming Foam) most of our Foam units carry around 420 Gallons on AFFF. Great blanketing capability’s which shut out any type of Fire spread through fuel. It does need to be reapplied every so often because it tends to break down.
I remember being stuck on I-25 the day this happened, total nightmare getting home
Wow, incredible video!! Nicely done.
Why the fuck were the cars not moving out the way
Because its America
because its high hippies in colorado
in germany you can get a fine for that, i think the usa should fine them too, it could save a couple lives and should bring down cost in general
I have seen it first hand in Colorado no body pulls over it pisses me off
David you can get a fine, failure to yield to emergency personnel
AWESOME FOOTAGE! Behind the scene stuff is always cool! Love first responders!!!!
Do people not yield for emergecy vehicles in Denver?
As a german I am shocked by the lack of a Rettungsgasse. In case of Notfall please form a Rettungsgasse!
I can not believe how these idiot drivers in the beginning are not stopping for this emergency vehicle. Even that truck driver in the first couple mins makes me not wanna be a Professional driver anymore. This would make for a great public service announcement MOVE OVER TO THE RIGHT! And maybe the state can add hydrants in areas close to the freeway that are easily accessible for the fire personnel. You guys take soo much crap from citizens and endanger your lives to save lives. I salute all of you.

I think the most incredible thing of this video was that their incident had been updated.
I could see the smoke from my nearby work. So thankful other drivers helped pull out the driver. Truck had several types of fuel and oil in holding tanks on it. Worst vehicle to have caught on fire! Traffic was backed up for hours as they just had to let the fuel burn itself off. The used a lot of foam, but burned so hot that a big section of the road had to be repaired.
Daddy, when i grow up i want to be a Facebook expert so i can comment on and criticize everybody else's response to a fire/police shooting/drug raid/EMS response/etc., all while ignoring my own ineptitude and not having my own emergencies recorded for public critique.
Daddy, when I grow up I want to be able to tell the difference between facebook and youtube.
welcome to the internet, where everyone has a fucking degree in everything and an opinion that must be forced on others :)

@@chillz9600 you can do that at most departments just request to do a ride along
46:46 that sounds so much like ATIS. By the way what is going on there (did I get that right there was a road rage and a shooting!??)
Still a mystery 😳🧐.
cant get over how little awareness people have when emergency cars are coming lol
They work in this area and still didn't know where their water source was coming from. Thanks for your hard work. I really mean it! Sometimes things are unavoidable.
It is very interesting to see how the Firefigthers of other Nations do their job. Gretings Form Cologne Germany to to my American colleagues :). Our fire trucks are really cool, but the US trucks are just beautiful.
Only in america would you get a report of active shooter, road rage incident, with all firefighters being ordered to take cover
This is America!

Let me remind you this fire was only a few miles from Columbine High School and Arapahoe High School, both schools were shot up. Welcome to Colorado.
Great job all better planning to have a fire hydrant closer to freeway. Thanks for your service
This video keeps on showing up in my recommendations for couple years lol
4:33, the smoke cloud looks like it’s screaming, wow,
that was the siren-
@@chesterwang3070 he said it LOOKS like it’s screaming
Excellent communication guys, slow and steady. Beautiful how the OIC took command and told everyone to just hang out. Lines were talked about, movement of action. It went incredibly well how you guys did this to start, kudos to you guys!
Training.
I didn’t realize this video was SMFR until i rewatched it
Same
Who got this on there recommend in 2021? ⬇️

Love the videos. I’m a volunteer firefighter phase 2 in Northeast Texas. I have been a firefighter for 2 years and love it. This is the first video I have seen from your channel. I wish I could video our fires but I don’t have the money right now for it. God Bless y’all
Your incident has been updated
Ape Nation I STRONGLY BELIEVE YOU
How about the update
“Make sure he’s putting it on the fire”
5:34, you can actually hear the air horn bogging down due the the stupidity of these motorists...
like the HULA girl Engine 31 had on its Dash, just like the one Fat Albert of the Blue Angels has on its dash....
Andrew Silva and the one that lyft driver had too
Andrew Silva Hahahaha we have a Shark

imagine if they made Bobble head Dalmations, now would be something that would look good on the dashes of fire trucks........
