Love your videos! Lakewood Colorado fire used to have a ride along program back in the seventies, where you could spend the weekends riding with them. It was a blast!!! My friend and I went every chance we could. Any plans for ride along video to an actual fire emergency from the passenger seat in one of these trucks? That could show your subscribers a first hand view of what it's like to ride in a fire truck. Breaking intersections with lights and siren in one of these rigs is the AWESOME BLAST!!!
Mike, any plans on coming to AZ anytime soon? In the Phoenix Metro area, we have arguably the best system out there. Almost 30 different cities, all dispatched through the same dispatch center. All of these cities have automatic aid agreements, so there's no city boundaries.... everyone responds wherever they are needed. All engines and most Ladder companies are ALS, with a minimum of two medics on each apparatus. Hopefully you can make it out here at some point.

The "clean cab" idea is admirable, but impractical, especially in many cities. SCBA's were incorporated into seats for a reason and many agencies, like the FDNY carry sets of irons, cans and other fire ground equipment in the cab for quick deployment. I really don't see that changing in a lot of areas.
How does the 'clean cab' work with regards to the clothing? Do they remove the FF jacket and overtrousers before returning? And does that then mean they are unavailable until they have exchanged gear at the station?
There are many different ways that a department can handle this concept. Some have a separate response vehicle to exchange gear to get back into service
@@HeroesNextDoor I just asked, maybe it was in transition or coming from maintenance. Regarding how I would set it up, how do I know? It depends of many factors: type of buildings, roads, men availability, engines availability (and what do they carry), if they have a dedicated technical rescue squad, how far are hydrants spaced. Just too many unknowns. And if this is all they need, I would go with a smaller appliance. As what realistically can be added - maybe, a hygiene board with clean water, soap dispenser and a small decontamination hose. Maybe more cribbing and stabilization equipment, if they have to deal with MVCs. Maybe some ABC extinguishers.
Personally the gear needs to be cleaned after every call. This means 2 sets for each firefighter, and ems personal. This means after the call the gear gets stored in bags outside of the cab area. Once it is cleaned and cleared by officers then it can be placed back inside the cab and the equipment can be placed back inservice or ready for service.
Standard cabs cause cancer ? Where is the proof either way. We would really like data not just feelings. Thanks for watching and we will continue to investigate!
There is one thing I have to strongly disagree with , This RIP thing or what ever they guy called it , he stated if persons needed rescue, 1 fireman than 2 civilians , 3 other , I am highly offended by that pecking order I UNDERSTAND THAT all PERSONS need to be rescued, BUT firefighter's take oath to protect the public I fully understand its a hell of a risky jobs, But this is what you guys are PAIED OR OTHERS to take RISK'S . WE the people pay you to take risk's everytime you go out of that station !!
RIC- Rapid Intervention crew or RIT- Rapid intervention team (same thing). All that means is an engine or ladder company is assigned to be on standby, outside at a working fire scene. Their sole purpose at the scene is to be available to go in and rescue any lost or hurt firefighter inside of that fire. While that crew is outside on standby, there's several crews already inside the fire, searching for any possible victims while simultaneously attacking the fire
This truck is BEAUTIFUL! I absolutely love the black ladder. That really spices up the red/black scheme.
One of my favorite color schemes
One of my favorite videos yet! Pierce dominates the Truck Co industry! Pierce is 🔥
I don't know. I'm a huge Pierce fan (our department has 3) but, Seagrave makes awfully good trucks too.
SWEET RIG! Love this station as well( enjoyed the " cribs" episode)! Thanks!!🇺🇸🇺🇸

What would you normally see on the truck? How would you set it up?

Trucks don’t have pumps. It’s a Quint. Don’t disrespect true ladder trucks.
Clean cabs don't make grabs.
