I see a lot of people here that don't understand what is happening. He is doing the right thing by spraying water in short intervals. He doesn't want to close the circuit with water between the power line and the ground. The explosion definitely didn't come from spraying water on electrical fire. It was probably oil from a distribution transformer. It can hold up to 40 gallons of oil, that is flammable. :electro:

Only 5 classes of fire and this dude must have forgotten which was which.

It didn't explode because of the electricity, it was due to the oil inside the transformer that was too hot

No one ever said you had to be a genius to become a fireman.

Around here those non-geniuses are working 8 days a month and making about 125 grand a year. So much for all the geniuses working 40 hrs a week making 60 grand.

8 days a month making $125k I call absolute bullshit unless you're talking some really cheap foreign currency

Call it whatever you like, but I'm not making this up. And yeah, some might call Cdn dollars a 'really cheap foreign currency' at an exchange rate of about US $1 = $1.40 Cdn. Still, that makes it around $85k US. Also, each of those 8 days is a 24 hr shift.

This is a gore site comment section so nobody has to prove anything to anybody but I kinda think that there's enough BS in the world already without me adding to it - put "mississauga firefighter ontario sunshine list" in your google search and see for yourself.

Sometimes you see something happening in front of you and you just know you should probably pull your camera out. This one was easy
