It really does not matter that they came up on this vehicle while out on inspections. What difference does that make? Reduce further damage? What about the damage to his family, friends, and community if he gets killed or injured, doing such a bone head move.

Man oh Man, What can you say about these guys? They did so many things wrong,let the video speak for itself. I'm betting every call they go on you would see the same stuff.

you know they came upon this while doing inspections at homes, this was not a call out..so my guess is the thought was to reduce further damage.. unsure why the guy in full turnout stood there.. . it's wrong ,but that is what happen

WOW. what to say about this one. O i know. Wear your gear stupid. Firefighter benifits won't qualify if he is hurt or killed while not wearing full PPE. and seconly the chief or safety officer should be suspended for not making them wear full PPE and SCBA. Don't risk your life because you didn't want all that gear on. Let someone else do it then. And get out of the fire service

this makes me chuckle because the guys watching him put the fire have more turnouts on than the guy actually putting the fire out lol ... also love the owner who throws a rock at the car in the beginning
