Biggest Fire You Responded To
This is the fire that you thought you would never make it home because every muscle in your body felt like it had been torn and the heat melted your helmet and you thought you were a new york firefighter because your new gear was now black

Hay bales? Brake them up with a loader, spread them out and plenty of water - preferably with A Class foam (the hay is useless anyway after the fire). I'm glad there are no large farms around me...

I hope that it was still cleaned properly?
Not having a go at you Courtney, but having juniors working for hours at a structure fire is simply wrong to me. Not allowed on the fireground here so it always amazes me.

Thats right Tony.A trackhoe works really good for that.The operator can get right in it and break it up and then you just keep pouring the water to it.Class A works really good.Also great for a barn full of stacked lumber.

the bales they have around here go right around 700lbs each....we pray that there is a loader available everytime we go to a barn fire.....

The biggest fire i have been to was on 7/4/2010 when the local egg farm went up. It was a 30,000 sq. ft. building that was a processing center where they packaged the eggs in the cartons and got them ready to ship out so the whole building was stacked to the roof with wood pallets and styrofoam egg cartons. 3 firefighters were inside when a flashover accured and sent the whole place up and melted the hose. 2 of the firefighters made it out but one became trapped and before rit crews could get to him the whole building collapsed on top of him killing him instantly. There was a total of 34 fire depts. on location from those depts. there was, 40 somethin tankers, 20 somethin engines along with numerous chief vehicles. And to make things worse the closest hydrant was 3 miles away.
