Re: [californiadisasters] Round Fire Grows To 7,000 Acres; 20 Buildings Burned



Two explanations:

Most likely one: he did not say that but what he did sa has been edited to say that now.

Less likely one: he did say that but he was talking to the reporter like they were a simple child. Since the greater number of engines out there are the more urban Type I's and such then in an overall sense what CALFIRE has is not like most of what is out there.

This is a great line... For gardening that is.  It's polite name is fertilizer, more commonly known as bullsh..!

That's what a Type III does, "pump and roll"; the bread and butter for wild land firefighting.  Even 4WD isn't rare anymore.  My agency did that decades ago as one of the first all 4WD Strike Teams. 

I guess he HAD to say something to the reporter (I never saw the reason why) but it would have been better if his brain was engaged.

Concialdi said the fire engines can go off road and are able to drive and still pump out water.

"Most engines can't do that,'' he said. "We call it mobile pumping."
