Yacht on fire on St Clair River August 2011 part 1

Are there any firefighters in Port Huron who know how to apply real water to an actual fire?  Hello??!

Okay 1st they should have drafted from the river and used the monitor on the engine at much closer proximity to the fire. 2nd the small boat with a deck gun needed to advance on the fire scene. They were worthless. They were not even establishing a water curtain. Should have been knocked down in 15 minutes.

Oh i understand, the firepeope needed first permission to walk on the grass by the lokal autohority

Okay, there is enough water around the boat, maybe it is al lake ! or river !, why taking water from a long distance, drive that damm fire truck on the beach nearby the boat and take water out of the lake.

Pathetic.

Someone fell asleep with a cigarette in their hand again.

Cool!

I'm guessing this is the first fire fight for all of these men in the fire department. Sure, they are there to rescue people, and once they do that they put out the fire. Looks to me like it's a lack of training. How hard would it be to move the fire truck 10 feet closer to the fire?? This is a sad day for the fire fighters, both on shore and on the river.

Couple coats of Killz and its on boat trader...

its not for firefighting purposes, mainly rescue

I think the fireboat may just have well buggered off for lunch.

Yeah I was out in the water watching it
