The Fire Truck Built for a Jet-Fuel Inferno

This fire truck hits fifty in under twenty-five seconds, then puts foam on a jet-fuel fire. The Marine Corps P-19R is an aircraft rescue truck: 1,000 gallons of water, 130 gallons of foam, 750 gallons a minute out of the turrets. Fast. Finite. When the tanks are empty, it is done until it refills. The burns in this video are training. Not a combat crash. 0:00 Jet-fuel fire 0:25 The mission 1:05 What the Marines call it 2:28 How the tanks work 4:03 Training, labeled 5:20 The limit 6:48 Verdict Next: Why the C-130 Became Aviation’s Swiss Army Knife    • Why the C-130 Became Aviation’s Swiss Army...   Short version:    • The Fire Truck Built for a Jet-Fuel Inferno   Footage: U.S. DoD / DVIDS public affairs.
