I am guessing it didn't take more than a few milliseconds to realize their mistake.

"When the firefighters poured water on the fire, it burst into a fireball."
Ummmmmmm. No. That's not what happened. Stupid journalists are reporting on exactly what DID happen, and they still get it wrong.

The separator that removes fuel and oil from the water so it can be recycled failed. They were trying to be environmentally friendly and recycle water they use for training and prevent oil/gas from getting in the watershed.
Sounds exciting and looks impressive, but not that big of a deal IMO. Glad nobody was seriously hurt and I am sure they will double check their water - something your local fire truck probably won’t have to worry about.

That’s why firemen have training sessions. You know, to avoid those little mistakes like pumping jet fuel instead of water onto a REAL airplane fire instead of just a mockup.

Well, those left coasters couldn't figure out which hose to use. Should I pick the left one, which contains the fuel. Or the right one which contains the retardant. Since they're practically all left leaning, guess which one they chose.

I’m thinking there is a joke in here somewhere.

It’s a new policy designed to spare survivors of the crash from dealing with obamacare health care.

I went to the link and watched the news video.
It appears somehow jet fuel, and/or jet fuel residue, was in the line that should have just been water.
Someone other than the firefighter trainees screwed up here.

And it’s only a coincidence that the woman who released Obama’s birth certificate was on that plane.

Airplane. Fire. Jet fuel mistaken for water. I’m guessing the infamous pilot “Sum Ting Wong” was in the area again.

What a BS title!
They didn’t ‘mistakenly’ pump jet fuel onto a fire.
That makes it sound as if they just hooked a hose up to a tank of jet fuel and started spraying.
They were using recycled water just like they were supposed to.
BUT they recycled water still had jet fuel in it from previous exercises.
It was obviously a mechanical failure in the recovery system somewhere, probably a busted separator.
The reporters even say so in the segment.
But what do they name the story?
“Firefighters Mistakenly Pump Jet Fuel On Fire Instead Of Water!”
What a disingenuous crock of ****.
