video spread across social media, CBS News weighed in<\/a> on what went wrong.<\/p>\n“Firefighters in Pennsylvania got a lesson in water pressure,” CBS captioned the video as the crew struggled to control the line.<\/p>\n
In the video narration, CBS explained that the firefighter operating the nozzle was holding the hose too high while the backup firefighter was positioned too far behind him to properly help control it.<\/p>\n
The result is visible in the clip: The firefighter at the nozzle is pushed backward as the hose bucks from side to side, sending streams of water across the parking lot instead of consistently onto the burning vehicle.<\/p>\n

The unusual scene quickly drew reactions across social media, including from people identifying themselves as current or former firefighters.<\/p>\n
Several focused on the distance between the firefighter operating the nozzle and the firefighter backing up the line, while others pointed out just how much force a charged fire hose can generate.<\/p>\n
The vehicle remained engulfed in flames during much of the struggle captured on camera, but crews continued battling the blaze and ultimately brought the fire under control.<\/p>\n
No firefighter injuries were reported in connection with the fire, according to published reports.<\/p>\n
The cause of the vehicle fire was not immediately available.<\/p>\n
