For info -- many industrial firefighters volunteer for their company fire brigade and often serve as volunteer firefighters in their community. (They are something like storm chasers -- some folks run away and others run toward where the action is!) For myself -- I'm a retired oil-company safety guy and do periodic fire training (at my own expense) with the same goal you have -- trying to keep people from getting hurt by things they don't fully understand. Your video will help. Peace - Ken David — a “nominal” fee shouldn’t be a problem.

I'm torn on that between helping the firefighters out, and thinking the big companies are rich enough to pay for it. Even for the "purchase" version, it will be a very nominal fee. Ken,

I work with training these folks and they are the ones who respond to many of the tank fires -- either their own or as part of mutual aid. If not, will look forward when I can purchase the "general" version. Glad you are OK, and appreciate your posting the unique video for so many to see.

Please send me a copy for training purposes.

This video is amazing and can teach alot of us that fight these kind of fires about the danger they present. Not many of us will see this in person thank goodness but to be prepared for this in case it happens. Email me and I will get you the address to mail a copy to me.

It will be a big help to departments who might have to respond to an incident like this. As a chaser many years ago in your area, I suffered my share of damage to my vehicles from mother nature, but never from something like that. Stay safe.
