What Defines A Total Loss ?
m In earlier cars a total loss was determined by
the repait cost, as compared to the resale
value of the vehicle.
= Today's vehicles are all together different.
u In an effort to meet NHTSA’s crash safety
standards, manufacturers have redesigned
their frames and supports to bend in precise
locations to absorb impact.

These Are Called Crumple Zones
m These weak spots make it possible for auto
makers to predetermine where the car will
bend in a crash.
= They place these so that the occupant space
will open larger, as impact is absorbed.
= This allows for more survival space for an
occupant.

Why A Total Loss ?
= When metal is heated it warps, distorting it’s
original shape.
m The metal used in cars is very thin, and
needs very little heat to accomplish this
distortion.
m This is a threat to the integrity of the frame,
and the safety of the occupant therefore,

4. On scene Size-up
Dispatch size-up begins, when you
roll out of the door.
m Always repeat the address back to dispatch.
m Ask for additional information. Is this
vehicle on the road, in a driveway or in a
garage ?
u Is this a vehicle fire or a fire resulting from a
collision ?
= Know your area, if this is on the highway, is
it a high traffic area ?

vehicle on the road, in a driveway or in a
garage ?
u Is this a vehicle fire or a fire resulting from a
collision ?
= Know your area, if this is on the highway, is
it a high traffic area ?
Why ask for additional information?
a If this vehicle is on the highway, we need
PD in route NOW, for traffic control.
m If itis in a driveway or garage we need
engine companies in route NOW, for
possible structure fire.
u If it is a result of a collision, we need ALS in
route NOW, for possible injuries.

Remember !
We can always disregard incoming help.
= A lot of people do not realize that some
departments, especially volunteer, may have
a ten to twenty minute response time, and
miles of area to covet.
u If we wait until we arrive on scene to call for
help, that help has the same or more
response time.
= We must have Good Dispatch Size-up skills

Positioning the apparatus
= If the burning vehicle is on the roadway or
the shoulder of the road, the apparatus
should be placed diagonally, blocking the
lane the vehicle is in and at least the next
adjacent lane.
= This forms about an 80,000 pound wall
between you and the oncoming traffic.

line or red line to attack a vehicle fires.
= With the New Technology we are facing
today, we need a lot of water, real fast, from
a long distance.
= With plastic gas tanks, and plastic fuel lines,
and dozens of gas cylinders to explode, we
need a fast knock down of the fire, from a
long distance. Before approaching the fire.

New Training
= Always use at least an inch and three quarter
line, and an adjustable fog nozzle to attack a
vehicle fire.
= This gives us pressure to wash spillage out
from under the vehicle, while cooling the
tank from a safe distance.
= This gives us more water to cool the fire.

2. Never tisk injury to save a burning car,
it was already junk when you arrived on

open flames upon attivall that vehicle is
already a total loss,
Is your life worth $50.00

3. Never cross in front of the burning vehicle.
Remember the film were the bumper blew
off.
Or the picture of the bumper strut still in

Or the hood strut in the mans leg.
Always go atound the non burning end.

4. Never enter the vehicle, with any part of
your body, until every part of that car has
been completely cooled.
Remember the ait bags blowing out
through the roofs.
The gas cylinders throwing shrapnel in all

These are hand grenades with the
pins already pulled !

edges and cooling the struts.
These ate mounted on plastic sockets
that are probably melted, and the hot

a With the number one and two causes of rear
end fires, whether criminal or chemical, the
seat of the fire is based inside the trunk.
= Basic firefighting. What is the first part of
the car that is going to burn?

seat and the cardboard reat dash.

New Training Step #3
= With the back seat burning, the heat is
rising, the fastest thing to burn through is
the cardboard dash, letting the fire spread
into the compartment area.
= Let's go back to our New Technology and
see what out priorities are now.

Back To The Hole Into The Trunk.
a By putting water through this hole, we cool
the Base of the fire, in the first few minutes
of the attack. As compared to the time it
takes to cool the bumper struts, and open
the trunk.
m At the same time the steam conversion
forms a blanketing affect, smothering the
fire. (We are using two parts of the tetrahedron)

m We have never opened the trunk lid.
= We have never been in danger of the bumper
struts.
m We have never been in the path of an
exploding trunk lid strut.

an unexpected flash of fire.

= While the steam is blanketing the fire.
= Cool the tite and bumper strut, on that side
of the car.
= Never cross in front of the burning end, go
around the non-burning end of the car to
the other side and cool the tire and bumper
strut on that side.

Using this method, to our surprise !
Each time we opened the trunk,
the fire was totally out.

m We had put a foam rubber tear seat, and
some cardboard in the trunk, and about 1
gallon of gas to make a very hot fire. We
allowed it to burn awhile before attacking.
= After washout, knock down, extinguishment,
and total cooling of the vehicle.
m We had used less than Y4 of a 300 gal tank of
water. ( Steam Conversion )

We Later Found One Problem With
This Method.
= Some after market speakers are bolted in,
where the factory speakers just knock out.
= So we found another way to do the same
attack.
m We tried to hook the center of the seat back
and pull it out, very unsuccessful .
= But, we hooked the seat back about 6 inches
from the corner, and one small pull it was
loose.

Using This Opening We Done The
Same As Before
m But each time we
opened the trunk, we
found a very good
knock down, but still
some small amount of
flame.

We Tried Pushing The Seat Back
Into position
= This would close the opening after we
applied the water.
m We opened the trunk and there was no fire.
= The smaller hole retains our steam, putting
out the fire.
= This method is easier than the speaker hole
But, pushing the seat back is a must.

Many have ask why not use a piercing

We can, but in looking at this we found a few

Piercing Nozzle; Do You Have One?
= Time; It takes extra time to hook-up the nozzle.
m Dangerous obstructions inside the trunk; some
cars have batteries mounted in the trunk.
m Some like the VW we seen have gas canisters
mounted in the trunk.
m And as bad as it sounds we could be pushing it
into a body, stopping the flow of water.
= Also we would have to put two men in front of a
gas canister to insert the nozzle.
