[Note: There are four separate explosions in this video.] Here is something a bit different. In this video (two videos, really) we travel back to the year 2012, where on April 22 in Yorba Linda, California an underground electrical vault exploded, cutting power to over 2,000 area residents and leaving two firefighters with minor injuries. Incredibly, the first blast was both witnessed by a police officer and captured on his dash camera. But, as shown in this video, the explosions were only just getting started when the first officer rolled up on scene. Not long thereafter, Captain David Wolf of Orange County Fire Authority was thrown nearly ten feet into nearby bushes by a subsequent blast, regaining consciousness as he was being dragged to safety by a fellow firefighter. Wolf and another firefighter suffered minor burns, lacerations, and bruises, both making complete recoveries after an incident that could have been far worse. Arc flash is exactly as nasty as it looks. ~~~ /r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice ~~~ Want to help make Real World Police happen and get rewarded for it? Become a Sergeant on Patreon today!
