[00:00:00]It's serious.

[00:00:03]Oh my god.

[00:00:06]Oh my god, I've never seen anything like this.

[00:00:11]Putting in the new poles, utility poles, and changing the lines and something happened and they got into the phases.

[00:00:20]Wow.

[00:00:22]This is unbelievable.

[00:00:31]Out of the ram for the bucket lift?

[00:00:38]It's on fire.

[00:00:40]It's really on fire.

[00:00:44]We've had bad days. Look at that.

[00:00:47]That's a bad day right there.

[00:00:50]It is burning, on fire.

[00:00:57]Unbelievable.

[00:01:02]Oh my god.

[00:01:04]Look at that.

[00:01:07]It's a miracle that he didn't die.

[00:01:09]That's a miracle.

[00:01:12]Oh, unbelievable.

[00:01:15]If you put this on social media, it should go pretty high.

[00:01:20]if it doesn't, then it's all phony.

[00:01:24]Millions of views, all that's boosted.

[00:01:33]That is unbelievable.

[00:01:35]Look at that burn.

[00:01:37]They're safe, they got down safe.

[00:01:40]It's burning even worse now.

[00:01:43]This is serious.

[00:01:45]I can't do anything about this.

[00:01:49]I'm not on the fire department anymore.

[00:01:52]I get to watch.

[00:01:54]This is unbelievable.

[00:02:14]My guess is that hydraulic fluid dripped down out of the ram onto the line.

[00:02:22]That's unbelievable, isn't it?

[00:02:34]That this video doesn't do that any justice how serious that is.

[00:02:39]The flames are way bigger than this camera shows.

[00:02:44]Wow.

[00:02:46]Look at the hydraulic fluid coming out of there. It's running out of the end of the ram. See it dripping out.

[00:03:00]This is as serious as anything in life gets right there.

[00:03:20]That's just pumping more hydraulic fluid out. That ram's going to come apart and it's going to be like jet fuel.

[00:03:29]That'll superheat that and the liquid will just pour out of there.

[00:03:36]Ah, you can see the hydraulic fluid running out of there.

[00:03:54]That's part of nobody got hurt so far.

[00:04:03]It's got hydraulic fluid coming out of the ram. There it goes. There's more fluid coming out.

[00:04:08]That has a hydraulic ram on the end of that where it hooks to that bucket and a hose or something broke.

[00:04:16]You see the liquid popping out of there, that's hydraulic fluid.
