Being as a volunteer firefighter in my youth. I trained at that facility more than once... That tank car is in a steel circle with water in it and the fuel us put on the surface of the water and ignighted, the initial cloud is what you see in this excellant image of it and a few seconds later you go in with high pressure hoses and put it out... Nothing dangerous, just hot!!! Being that the fuel burning was on water the trick was to sweep your hose so the flames did not circle around and get you on the back side...

Nice! I trained at that facility many times as a volunteer fireman in Suffolk County from '65 to '85.

I did demolition on a few of these cars and the inside is thoroughly caked with petroleum product. The only items of valued ppl proved to be the chassis.

Use the quote reply button so we know who you are asking. I was in the Mastic Beach FD for 20yrs before I moved out of the area. The firematic training center at Yaphank was available to all the volunteer FD's in the county.

Sounds similar to the training in Navy Boot Camp using spray nozzles from two sides to sweep the fire into the cener or against a bulkhead.

I remember those days. Putting out oil fires (in large pools) at night so the neighbors wouldn't see the smoke.
