Volunteer Firefighter Incident Turnout

- Ever wondered what actually happens when your volunteers are called out to an incident??
Well thanks to our Training Officer and the Brigade's B Shift, we've collated some footage of some of the things that goes on behind the scenes when we are alerted to a call.
As you can see, it is critical for you as the public to dial 000 as soon as possible, as it takes time for us to respond. NEVER assume someone else has called and the information you can pass on may differ to another caller. It helps the responding crew build a good understanding of what they may face.
As volunteer firefighters, we do what we can, when we can, where we can, to the very best of our ability.

I remember my dad's time as a fire captain like this - tones will sound, then he leaves quickly. My mom and I sometimes wouldn't see him until the next morning.
Being caught out mid poo is the worst!
It is eh.
@jamesdorse8606 yeah, its like do i force it out, or suck it back in and be on a long ass call.
0:23 I think that was a mistake leaving your lunch on the couch with your “best mate” on the prowl. At least someone enjoyed a nice lunch. 🤣
Cheers from the States! And thanks for stepping up!
As an American volunteer, I can attest this is almost the same for us. We keep all our gear in racks instead of lockers and start with our bunker pants first, then our nomex and coat. Then we grab our helmet, jump on the rig and go out the door as fast and as safe as possible. Of course we're allowed lights and in some places sirens to ease our way to the station.
eeeeeeeee🍐
I served for over 30years as an Auxiliary Firefighter in Queensland, and attained the Rank of Station Captain and even now, if I happen to hear a tone similar to how the pagers, or more recently, sms phone tone used to sound, I still jump up and take a few steps. Lol.
When I started in 1991, our only firm of turnout alert was the station siren.
Then they brought in pagers that only worked within a 5km radius of the Fire Station, and then, most recently, they phased in the Mobile Phone SMS texting system which they have now refined to be ALMOST foolproof.
As an Auxiliary Firefighter, (which means we actually got paid a little bit for calls and training), the truck had to be on it's way out of the station no longer than 5 minutes after it went off! That included, getting to the Station, finding out from Firecomm what and where the incident was, and getting geared up and in the Appliance!
I'm a volunteer with the NSW RFS and that pager tone (0:23) is the exact same tone I use for incidents. Cool to see other fire brigades in Australia also using Bart. Update: my district has switched to RFS ACTIV.
I have the second one for jobs and I'm not going to lie I freaked out for a second.
Barts intentions were good but just didn’t deliver. many bugs and issues through my whole brigade
Same here in Germany, greetings. Keep up the good Job.
Respect. I've seen a similar system in small German towns too.
aww bruh all the bart noises then made me jump out of my seat
Thats good to know and watch the whole action. And good for them to be alerted via phone rather than siren to cut noise
Looks like they’re using Bart. Our volunteer service uses it too
Here in Ireland they won't let the firefighters on call to use blue lights in there sometimes they can be stuck in heavy traffic
I wish 6AR were as helpful as you depicted 😂
Tell me about it
Good view!
Bro could not finish his coffe😂
All respect for the fire fighters
0:39 you nearly ran over the dog 🐕
One way that this video could be made a little more real. Include a scene or two of volunteers leaving their children's soccer match or their birthday dinner or something to help their fellow man. Well done. "There's nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer."
The time to get to the station and get ready to leave is time-consuming if a life is in danger it's really hard to get there in time and if this is a medical call for a heart attack or something serious your chance of survival is very low my father was a firefighter in the 60s so I know how it is today it all changes now they have some full-time firefighters in the station at all times.
Dude you forgot your socks lol
I'd probably leave a chip pan on or somthing when the bleeper goes off
Does their truck uses a Uk siren?
gotta love IAR 😅
Get in gear and let’s go 👍👍👍
No lights on your POVs?
Illegal in Australia
Never in a million years. Cranks running around trying to outdo each other with lights and whistles.......Jesus wept.
@@throttlegalsmagazineaustra7361 not all, a single light in the dash suffices but I get it, some guys are ridiculous with their lights. The apparatuses have them for a reason though
Great video, i've subscribed and shared your channel and this video to my facebook group. So you can get more subs and likes 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒
