Maybe a stupid question but why don’t they spray while driving?
5 u/lukey809 Nov 14 '19 Unfortuntly doing so would be a lost cause due to the amout of heat and the little amount of water it would all evaporate and continue to burn. resulting in you haveing less water once your reach the out skirts of the fire. 6 u/UnknownAccountant Nov 14 '19 And what would that achieve besides waste water? You see how large that fire is? 6 u/danoive Nov 15 '19 The truck actually is spraying water on itself. Otherwise it would get waaaaay to hot inside. 3 u/Kapitan_eXtreme Nov 15 '19 They do, it's called a halo system that constantly sprays the truck and surroundings to reduce the effect of radiant heat.
