- Full Structure Fire response in Clearwater, Florida. (Which is on my street). Responding (In order) is Dunedin Fire Rescue Engine 62, Palm Harbor Fire Rescue Engine 65, Clearwater District 48 and Truck 48. Safety Harbor Truck 53, Dunedin Engine 61, Clearwater Engine 50, Pinellas County Sheriff, Clearwater 320, Clearwater District 45, Pinellas County Citizens Patrol and Clearwater Engine 48.
thank god the citizens patrol showed up and snuck their way into the mix....
😂😂😂😂
WE'LL SAVE YOU!!!
They probably do things like bring drinking water to firefighters on active scenes.
@@Chris_Sokol From my understanding when I lived in Florida, they provide merely support roles to law enforcement. They write basic citations, traffic control, respond to accidents and file reports. They do quite a lot and do a great job at what they do and it greatly reduces the workload on local law enforcement when they have much more serious things to attend to.
Citizens patrol. You have got to be kidding me....

I volunteered for the Flippin Fire Department in Flippin , Arkansas for 14 years before I moved to Mountain Home , Arkansas 4 years ago and I enjoyed it very thankful to have helped many people out who needed our help and support for them 😀🙌❤
ITS THE FLIPPIN POLICE!!! lol
as a firefighter it is better to have and not need than to need and not have.
That's right 👌👌👌
True, but you still have districts that need fire coverage
Manpower is essential brother you should know
Nice to see they have the trucks and man power I spent from 99 to 2013 working a volunteer department where you might have two trucks and six guys maybe less
But that takes equipment and man power away from other stations.
I don't know how many people that commented on this about the number of units that responded will see this, but ,for any future information, this is a normal response in Clearwater. A structure fire in Clearwater city limits sends 3 Engines, 1 Truck, 1 Rescue, 1 Squad, 2 District Chiefs, a Training Chief (white suburban), and a Lieutenant Rescue vehicle (not in video) in charge of medical. Second alarms vary but normally send another 1-2 Engines, 1 Truck/Squad and 1 more District Chief on top of the original call-out.
Thank you for coming and taking of the fire
Glad i read your comment b4 i made my own..i lived in Clearwater in '05 miss it.. Great State.. Never witnessed not once any Hero's in Red.. Going to a fire.. But im sure they did.. Thankyou for your info....
I am a firefighter as well . And for a fire that size . We would never call that many out unless it is a second d alarm
Why do they send that many out?
Thankyou for the explanation, may I ask a couple of questions, 1.what is the difference in Rescue and Squad.?
2. What is a Training Chief ( WHITE SUBURBAN) ?
I was a UK FF.
3:09 elite parenting skills
Johnd 7293 your telling me that kid could of been run over or hurt.
crazy kid. He needs to learn you don't mess with fires or fire trucks working.
Like a little ninja through there! lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Grandma:
Kid: grandma stay out of the road when there are fire trucks
Good looking tower like the style keep them safe out there your service is deeply appreciated thanks take care best wishes to everyone. Joe
Great to see Roto-Ray's in Florida. Thanks Ricky.
Everyone is hating on the amount of apparatus on this call. Most Departments a Standard Dwelling Fire Response is 4 to 5 Engines, 1 to 2 Truck Companies, at least 1 Chief, and Police Response. Basically that is what they had here if you count the apparatus, probably requested an additional engine for man power.
Dang, one of the nicest engines shows up last.
best for last
Who the hell invited citizens patrol in a minivan?
Tmarkification LOL
we have a citizens patrol here in brantford in a white caravan
ikr lmso
Next time they should send the National Guard too
And the air force
and the navy
+Chris Jayson hahaha thats what i was thinking also hahaha
nothing a couple of apache attack choppers cant fix.
Just have a tank roll over the house. Gotta admit that does seem a little excessive for a house fire but who knows must of been a all hands call.
Engine 48 is a GORGEOUS velocity! 😰😰😰😍😍😍
Great catch! In Volusia County (Daytona Beach area) a response for that type of call would probably have been 2-3 engines, a tender (tanker, and depending if theres hydrants near by), 1-2 battalion, and an ambulance.
in delaware a house fire generally will have two fire companies dispatched to it. if it was a working house fire then it would be 3 or 4 companies. if it was a working building fire then 5 or 6 companies would come
Whoa what a lot of firetrucks for a structure 🔥 🚒
I am in love with those red white and blue trucks!
I still remember seeing this on the Active Call List. When all units were responding (I believe CL600, CL610 and CL400 took it at one time as well) I thought the activated the Working Fire File and called for a 2 Alarm before any units were onscene lmao
4 engines 1 ladder truck 1 rescue 3 Chief cars 1 PD Car 1 citizen patrol / i don't care what anyone says this is the turn out every fire should have because nothing is worse than having to pull guys out and wait for more engines.
William Lopez I counted two ladder trucks. Even better.
Correct. Rapid Intervention Teams or Fire Fighter Asistance Teams are essential
2 ladders.. a platform and a straight stick
you should come over to the UK, neighbours house went up when I was younger, 2 floors, full structure fire, woman still in the house (she did not make it out), the initial response was 5 engines (one of which was a specialist rescue team) and two ladders, a water tanker also turned up because she had so much old flammable furniture (almost everything was pre-fire regulation) that they couldn't get enough water by running off the mains having already emptied the engines. also had 6 cop cars to shut the area down due to the amount of smoke.
by the time it was over, my house (the only one it was connected to) had more water damage than smoke damage but the scene commander said had they put it been there 3 mins later, they would have lost our house too because of the heat...
damn that's a damn good response for just a regular structure fire at my dept were lucky to get 3 trucks on scene and that's with mutual aid
Nice catch. This video must of made your day. Lots of great action coming down your street
AWESOME vid and very nice rigs! I also like that they are from many different stations and some look very different in their color scheme and light setup - not like us where we can easily get 8 units running from one single station ... well somehow that's cool as well ^^
anyway like + fav for your vid
It was due to the information given by the caller and if multiple calls are received. The district chief called for a working fire file before anyone got on scene.
I working with testing cell phone signal strength in Florida including the Clearwater area, with all the vegetation and structures close to one another this respone is definitely needed.
One reason could be staffing. small crews mean more companies are needed on manpower intensive calls like fires. Secondly, weather in central Florida can be BRUTAL in the warm months. Lots of ff's are needed to rotate crews to prevent heat related injuries. (this was in May)
Thirdly, the first due WAS out on another call, and mutual aid was called in. That's why Clearwater was late to their own fire.
Nice response and a good stop on the fire. Couple of trucks didn't check to make sure their light bars were on though.
I love all these "experts"..... Now this is the "average" response in the U.S.(It does differ between, City, State, Rural/Urban, Career/Vol., Etc) but this is about the average.) And for the people who don't know there are plenty reasons, At least one Engine/Truck(Depending on Dept) is RIT/FAST, one is grabbing the plug, one is Primary Search Team, one is Primary Fire Attack, also(especially in Hot Flordia) you have to have replacement crews, then after the overhaul crew, secondary search, etc. There's alot more to think about than your basic "Put Blue stuff on the Red Stuff" idea.
And some trucks had orange and white on them :) COOL
Wow that was a lot of rigs! That's our whole department times by 3!
Wow. This is Dunedin. That's weird to click on this video and get your hometown fire department.
When you get to be an experienced driver, you learn to anticipate the response of other drivers.
Gotta love the Pinellas County dispatch system, no matter where the call is the closest unit goes. Plus the dispatcher turns on station lights and can shut or open station doors if needed for long term station coverage. One of the best systems out there.
Vs. Hillsborough county and city of Tampa systems that send units past other city's stations for emergency calls right down the streets from them. Even if it's major medical or structure fire related. Really don't understand that!
Helps with crash paperwork, Directing traffic stuff like that. I got into an accident a month ago and he wrote the crash report, fhp was there for a minute and left the rest to cit patrol
Nice colour on all vehicles.
Most fire Departments call for back up do to the nature of a fire think about it and it's always best to have more then less and the spinding lights is a siren it spends cause the sounds travels louder.
On scene trucks are Atleast 5-7 minutes out. On an initial fire you need 2 and 2 working and a third truck for the rit team. Then you need more for rehab purposes and more to do rehab. If you have the resources they should be there. It's a harder job than everyone thinks.
Wow, awesome video!
E48 is a beautiful piece of apparatus
No. I have to wait till im 18 to start the emt school im going to. I cant wait either, finally be learning stuff that I care about. And Thank you :)
Did ya pass?!
Ah, but you don't know what you have until you get there. From reading the op's comments, it sounds like the Clearwater units are in addition to the norm. He said they were already out on a run, and help was called for from neighbors. They then responded to this. However, 3-4 engines and 2 trucks is a fairly common response in many areas.
Agreed. And I don't remember but It was around 10 am. It was more of a dry heat then humid I think
for those of you commenting on the amount of trucks, yes it is A LOT for an initial response, but it looks like ( to me) 2 full size responses from 2 departments
where I live an Initial "Full Assignment Response" is 1 Command Unit 1 Ladder/Quint/Tower, 1 Rescue-Engine, 2 Pumper/Engines, (1 Tanker if remote), 1 Ambulance and 2/3 Police units.
One reason that areas first due engine was not there first in because it was on another call and asked to be put on it. This was in the area of curlew rd and US19. One of the Clearwater stations is all the way down on belcher past sunset point rd. These other stations are right around the corner kinda. If Clearwater engine 50, Whose station is at countryside bvld and st rd 580, was available before this they would have been there first. And thank you :)
they don't have too much funding they are one of the most busiest departments in the US
There's only two tankers in Pinellas county and they were nowhere near the fire.
Diese extrem schnellen Ausbreitungen des Feuers, hängt doch mit der Holz-Bauweise zusammen, oder?
YES there IS. You obviously didn't see the white pickup truck and all the pedestrians. With all the kids and people running to see what's going on, you USE the sirens. If you have an accident or hit someone, that's the first thing they're going to ask you in the investigation and court.
WOW!!!! I AM IMPRESSED
Florida has it's mutual aid system very together. This works very well with Orlando/Orange County/Apopka/Seminole County. It's whose closest; boundary lines do not matter.
Nice stop/save.
Did you film this with a potato?
I've seen smoother shooting from horseback.
I'd say when the phone call isn't very precise, then you are better safe than sorry sending out a little bit more Engines; Some time ago we had a small kitchen fire in a small to medium sized apartment building and we responded with 13 units (5 of them Engines) from 4 stations
There is something so stimulating about an electric siren mixed with a Q
Yeah lol. I was sleeping and my boyfriend called saying there was a house fully involved and i was like im sleeping....But yeah it was an interesting way to start the day. :D
My favorite video today!
It eurks the hell out of me to hear other firemen down talk other depts whats the point? Good job bro"s
2:43 I hear the cell-phone scanner app. You should get a real scanner...they're more fun :) plus you can choose exactly what channels you want, rather than having to pick from an online list. Cuts down on data streaming, too.
Great One!👍🚒👨🚒🔥🧯
Strobes or LED's?? Seems like those are newer trucks that would have LED's. They're nice looking trucks though.
Where was the ambulance? If you have that amount of Firefighters responding to a house fire I would say at least 2 ambulances maybe 3. I think there were a few more trucks than they needed.
I do drive defensively, I however can not control the way other people drive or react to seeing an emergency vehicle behind them
Requires water, no hydrant visible, meaning several Engine/Tankers dispatched.
How is it someone was in position to film first due companies ?
If my buff memory serves correct that assignment is similar to a “box alarm” 1 alarm fire in Pittsburgh - 4 engines, 1 truck, 1 EMS Rescue Truck, Mac 1, 2 Batt. Chiefs and I believe a safety chief. Any PBF firemen or buffs can confirm? To compare
Steady now steady!
Well they've certainly kept them in good shape.
they go all out even when there is a small fire like this now if it was me in this stich i would love this respone
Love all the armchair quarterbacks here. People that have no idea how the fire service works. Don't say stupid stuff if you have no idea what is going on. A normal response is 4 engines and 3 trucks. If you get a working fire that can be upgraded by 1 more engine and truck or even 2 more. Alot of work to be done at the smallest of fires. Need more manpower then everyone thinks. Rather call more than you need and send them home. Because when shit hits the fan and you only have 2 and 2
Nice video!! Love the zoom ins
They had squad and engine 51 coming. Along with Tiller 45 but they got cancelled
Question, is the citezen's patrol a rent-a-cop?
It's better to have more than you need coming to a scene than needed. It's easier to downgrade the response or cancel apparatus response than it is to catch up if it turns out to be worse than expected.
I think he means he's lucky if they get two or three firefighters to respond.
I love the onlookers response @ 3:44. Good turnout though!
Used to be when i was there 2 engine's 1 truck squad rescue and a Dc that was largo and bbfd.
Driving code 3 is one of the most dangerous things you could possibly do. Its inherently risky and actually saves you little response time. Which is why I hardly ever use the siren unless necessary. I have personally almost been involved in multiple accidents due to civilian drivers failing to yield, slamming on their breaks, or pulling out in front of my ambulance while driving code 3.
Got news for ya there Sparky, if you're responding code-3 and not leaving your siren on, you're in violation of State law - in EVERY State! You are also opening up yourself, your Department, your City County and State to one helluva lawsuit if you get into an accident and kill some innocent citizen! You are an absolute liability to your Department and need a new job.
@@billmiller3425 Am I a liability there Sparky? Good thing this comment is 9 years old and I haven't worked in the emergency services for years. Make sure you tell that to every other provider that doesn't have their sirens blaring at 3 am going to a call
The transcript of the dispatch read as: ladder 8 quint 1 engines 6 engine 54 hose wagon 1 heavy rescue 6 medic 80 tower 1 marine 3 battalion 2, 7, and 13 foam 12 please respond to single trailer on fire. Time out 13:27
Seems a little overkill for someone's double wide trailer, Thank god the citizens patrol rolled up on scene though !
Overkill??? These trailers can completely burn to the ground in less than 15 min....oh hell no, dump 'em in and fast!
Doesn’t look like a double wide to me - no center seam. Even so, an adjuster would probably declare the structure a total loss, cheaper to rebuild than repair.
***** the spinning thing on the front of engine 48 is a rotary and it spins clockwise in a complete circle
It's called a Buckeye Roto-beam ...made way back in the 1950's
Helluva backup RIT on that scene! Why so many engine companies?? Meth lab?
What exactly is the purpose of Citizens Patrol?
They must have been bored that day...
Alpha Numa I was thinking the same thing
me too. a bit much maybe?
Reminds me of the usual responses in my city. I would prefer them bored then too busy
Standard response for a structure fire ... in Indy, it’s always 4 Engines, 2 Ladders, 1 Squad/Rescue, 1 Medic, 2 Battalion, 1 EDO and 1 Safety Officer ... second alarm if needed will bring more
Good turnout.Don't know about this instance, but one reason a lot of trucks can turn out is like our local volunteer department: There's 3 guys in-town that are always first there and out the door within a couple minutes of a page. The rest will trickle in in singles or pairs as they get there, I myself live 15 minutes from the firehall if I haul ass, as such, as two volunteers get prepped, they grab another vehicle to head to the scene, a large fire can have trucks from the same hall arriving an hour apart.
Not to mention that here in Montana, a lot of houses are far from hydrants and need every gallon of available water.Plus, until just the last month (two new trucks!!) we only had 2 good pumpers and 3 small rescue/crash/rural pumpers in the entire county. We sometimes had brush trucks arriving at fires because it was the only extra water we had along with just being legal (lights and sirens) fast transport of crews.
Dunedins kinda old. Clearwater Engine 50 has a halogen lightbar and the engine is being replaced in like a week or so.
Would love to have that kind of a response. Jobs get done and more importantly firefighters get relief. What was the temp and humidity that day?
How may guys do you run on a piece (3,4,5, etc...)?
my question is Where the hell is EMS??? always have EMS on a structure fire capable of transporting.
Citizen's Patrol??? Mini-van??? WTH?
The citizens patrol showing up doesn't make any sense to me. What are they going to do?
they all were there cause the fire could of been really bad and they were afraid that the trees and other houses were going to be destroyed by the fire but they got it under control
That deputy wanted to see what real work is
Great turn out!
Looks like this is not the norm for your neighborhood. You can just barelly fit one truck on that street width wise, but it takes the entire thing up, damn.
7
1:27 on the tower love the spiny siren
How hard is it to hold a camera still?
Great Video!
Go off fire trucks. I miss being on the fire dept. adrenalin rush and high, knowing you helped someone.
With that many units responding I was expecting to see the remains of the house spread across the ground. Didn't end up looking too bad. Better to have the extra hands on scene though I suppose.
***** we respond with 5 units to any fire alarm (1st alarm), no matter whether it's a confirmed fire or just an activated fire alarm (and maybe false alarm)
That is the whole city
