This train is specially equipped to fight fires along the tracks. It was used on 9/7/2018 on the Delta Fire #deltafire to help stop the spread of the fire.
Cool to see those SP era cars getting a workout protecting the rails where they originally served. Great video!

Thanks. It was a privilege to be up there doing it. ABC 10 did a story on me after seeing the fire-train video. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out. It goes into a few details about the history of the train. kzitem.info/news/bejne/wm-mu4GdopSKgIY

Back in the SP days they kept this fire train in Klamath Falls during the winter and in the spring it was moved to Black Butte where there was a water tower. The whole idea of this was to put out fires in the immediate vicinity of the tracks,ties will burn! Given the severity of this fire they were doing anything that would be helpful.

While I like the video thanks for that it seems their efforts are futile as its hit and miss also they aren't pulling enough tanks of water to do any real area just my opinion

What if engineers create a windmill that would spray water or fire retader. Just imagine the base would hold the water and when ever the windmill detects smoke it would spray water/retarder to prevent the fire to get out of control...similar to fire sprinkler at a commerical building.

they could upgrade it by adding a flatcar and straping down an older firetruck to the flat car for a better pump system

When the vid is just beginning. Look to the upper right of the frame... FIRE burning on opposite hillside. I see flames. Then as they advance towards the end, that's smoke.
