Green Screening Station 19's “runaway” Zamboni Fire

Ice skating Firefighting and we can't use water on battery fires!?!? You learn something new every day!

“dO yOu HaVe A lAdDeR”

You know, the thing firefighters are third most known for behind water and axes

Honestly that zamboni is an engineering marvel. Still running while engrossed in electrical fire, and it’s also part Tesla..? It’s completely automated and able to detect walls and turn instead of crashing into/thru them. Yet is able to barrel thru people (it knows the difference obviously). Honestly at this point I’d also be scared to chuck water on it… it would just serve to piss it off more and it would start straight up attacking you. It might even call it’s zamboni backup

I love the fact that not only is the Zamboni still running after bursting into flames, but it’s also doing laps around the rink and turning by itself

What gets me is the writers of this show actually do not need to think up situations like this every week. Just have firefighters and paramedics send in their actual reports and it probably would be just as much drama and suspense.

I've worked as maintenance in an ice hockey rink, you could literally drive a fire truck onto the ice. You know through the same door the Zamboni gets on the ice, or use the literal fire hoses used to flood the rink to make the ice. But I get it tv.

"Do you have a ladder?"

Imagine your surgeon bringing you out of anesthesia mid-surgery to ask if you've got a scalpel on you.

"Everything that's on fire is plastic..." Nope, can't be plastic. No plastic in the world burns without smoke. It must be pure energy.

"Do you have a ladder?"
Is like a professional photographer asking his customer for a camera.

I used to work rink maintenance and public skate safety for a few years. The area where the zamboni goes when it comes off the ice has big garage doors to the outside (to dump snow). They could probably even bring the fire engine through there all the way up to the ice, or at least right outside. Easy access, simple solution.
ALSO, our rink at least always had ice grippers, basically rubber soles you can hook around any shoes with spikes in them so you can walk across the ice safely. There would be no problem at all to use these to get the guy off the ice and get to the fire

My dad has been a fire chief since 2010 and a firefighter for 25+ years. He loves you

This is somehow the most incompetent team that had been featured here and that's saying something.

[LordyT]

I love that every fire they encounter is apparently immune to water

[lc]

Oooooh! "Incompetence on Ice!" That would be an awesome show that could last 142 seasons and never run out of material!!!

I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS AN ACTUAL SCENE IM SUPPOSED TO TAKE SERIOUSLY

[dynamiteskye]

I love these videos. My best friend from high school's dad was ems. He fought and arranged to have first aid and cpr classes taught to every student in our school every year as part of p.e. Saddly it didn't last long, only 2 years, before a parent group complained it was encouraging kids to get into dangerous situations to help people. But the first step was always to assess the safety of the situation and call for help. I still think it was a good idea to include the class, it shouldn't have been canceled.

[AmberStallion]

So basically the most intelligent character in that episode was probably the zamboni XD.

[DsNeYfAnEvEr]

"Oh no, the Zamboni is coming"
*Takes one step to the right*
"I'm safe." 😄🤣😂😆😄🤣

[renasouza]

I love how that Zamboni burns so cleanly, literally zero smoke

[theunkownbanana]

What we don't know is that the flaming Zamboni is the writer's metaphor for this show. When they pitched the idea they never really expected the producers to green light the script.

[Marqan]

Why do they even have a driver if the zamboni can just drive itself even while it's on fire?!
