I’m in highschool getting my fire and hazmat certificates to join a department once I’m out and I just want to say how helpful these videos are. To be able to see a glimpse of the routines and habits, the expectations at the firehouse and training is great. Also most videos like these are only 10 minutes or so but this being 40 is awesome. Keep it up and stay safe.
@@geicolizard2555 at the moment I’m learning for hazmat awareness but by the end of the year hopefully I’ll have my haz operations and fire 1 and 2 as well
Advice if your willing to accept would be see if you local college offers a paramedic associate degree , fire medic is well paid in most areas especially if overtime is offered.
21, have no clue what to do in life after realizing what I went to college for wasn’t for me. I love being fit, helping people and putting my best foot forward. I think this is for me! Going to heavily look into this.
Not sure if you guys were the ones who responded, but I was in the Spokane valley area a couple weeks ago and thought I was exposed to fentanyl while on a jobsite in Spokane. I was hauling my excavator back home and pulled over thinking that I might be OD’ing. Pretty random that this video showed up in my recommended, but if you guys were the ones who showed up, thank you. Whoever it was handled the situation really well, made me feel like less of an idiot. Lol. Be safe out there, thanks for the work that you guys do.
At 7:05 when I used to work at Publix my friends are firefighters and they used to come and see me. And now I’m still friends with them. And I have a picture with them on our fire truck.
Thanks for being open and available. Great ambassadors for professional firefighters. I retired from a small City as Risk Manager with a Fire Rescue Department. Great respect for you all.
FDNY does that too. Every time they see a child with a helmet, they give them a coupon for a happy meal. For kids 13 and under (if I recall correctly).
Enjoy the channel man & appreciate your service! Many past & current fire service members in my family. Suggestion on the pulled pork, we do pulled pork quite often for get together or big race weekends at the drag strip. We take and mix some sauce in the pork after pulling it. Make the sandwiches up and wrap them in the premade foil wrap sandwich size sheets. It’s nice because you can heat them up easily in oven or on traeger for a midnight snack or whenever dinner is ready. Add your toppings, extra sauce, or just grab/go! Never had a complaint! Thanks again guys, stay safe out there
to the firefighter with the gloves on, you should use apple cider vinegar or apple juice in general to soak the pork in. That's what I do and the best smoker for you is look up Lang smoker. It's a woodfired smoker. It's very easy to use and you can make cake on it as well. I did cake for a cookout as well. It doesn't come out smoky at all or you can get a big green egg, another very nice smoker as well and you can set it and forget it. You can set it at a certain temperature and let it go. That's what I do. I sold my Lang and bought a big green egg and decision ever because my smoker was behind a pick up truck.
Hey I live in the Spokane valley area, yo this is crazy awesome seeing one of the fire stations having a RUclips channel - honestly I say this with little bias lol Spokane valley fire department is amazing. Way back in 2005 the one station I think over near Greenacres middle school responded and saved my aunts life when she had her aneurysm - since then just the best respect for that house and others 👏🏾👏🏾
How ironic. Singing “Route 66” while at the ambulance. That song was written by, Bobby Troupe. Who also played Dr Early on the tv show Emergency. Pretty much the show that was the birth of EMS, as we know it.
I love looking at these types of videos ,it's show how much yard do everyday as a firefighter save people loves people or animals to good luck and happy Halloween and God bless 🙏❤❤😊😊😊
First video came across this channel looking for training videos to help my buddy that’s new to the fire service. New subscriber now keep up the good work.
very nice to see RUclips videos used for After the call review and training . Lots to add and go with video on scene be You Tube or priate Fire officials doing . Thank you !
Also to add it was a older home first alarm departments held it to just the kitchen. I did the emergency board up of that fire when I worked for a board up company
That's awesome! small world. Our crews do a lot of scenarios using film from departments to practice on scene communication. pretty important to have clear, effective communication in an emergency situation.
THANKS FOR KEEPING IT REAL. I AM 100% CERTAIN THAT NON- FICTION IS WAY WORSE THAN FICTION .SEE IM GETTING SMARTER EVERY DAY FOR NOW... SEE YA FELLAS...............
Thanks for all that you guys do for the public. What time was that DUI blood draw at? Seemed to be pretty early in the day, hopefully they can get some help before they end up hurting themselves or others.
How long is a newby considered a rookie? How many of yall are all together in your station? Who’s been there the longest? Do yall have a mascot animal? Do yall work along side EMT for medical emergencies? How do yall determine what to train for in your day to day? Thank you for all that you do, be safe and God bless you all.
Question does every fire house review calls on TV like that? Never knew they did that love your videos my name is Chrissy I am from NY nice to meet you all. Keep up the great job that you all do make more videos too love all stuff with em's.
8:35 The person who thought it would be a good idea to invent self-checkouts to pretty much every store in the world to make shopping harder for people should be sentenced to life in prison 😆 In all seriousness, seeing day in the life videos like this makes me feel proud of how we (and the world) get to have people with jons like this 😊
Eye wear, no. We do have thermal imaging cameras that can be used to help locate victims or find the seat of the fire when visibility is low. Firefighters do lots of training with blacked out masks to prepare for low/no visibility situations.
All this fun makes me want to join the fire department even more! Here is why I want to join the fire department. So I was a baby and my mom was changing my diaper, and then I passed out and she panicked and called 911. The first ones to arrive was the fire department. They helped alot and the paramedics arrived. I am thankful for being alive to this day. Awesome video though!
I can’t help but notice that the fire station has regular commercial fire alarms on the wall. So what happens when the fire alarm goes off at the fire station?
Communications is learned just like firefighting tactics and EMS standards and procedures. You don't know, what you don't know, but it can all be learned!
HA!! Im recovering right from a broken clavicle after wrecking on an ebike I was on my Talaria Sting MX4 when i wrecked out going about 26mph. Full trauma active & C-spine cation
I was wondering, when are you guys going to the grocery store and stuff? are you able to go places like that on shift or were you on a break or something? sorry i’m in highschool and have really been thinking about doing this job but i don’t understand
Question, whenever you guys opening the door on your engine or your apparatus a red light turn on, I’m guessing that’s just the door opening warning. I’m just used to car door opening warning lights. But please correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks!
Many times cancelled calls start as legitimate calls and the risk factor is mitigated. someone may be choking and the item dislodges while en route or a fire alarm is activated and the occupants find out it was burnt toast. It's important to treat every call like it's "the big one". time matters in emergency response. We don't get as many cancelled calls as this video may seem. just a weird shift.
Why don't Firefighter have to plan their day/shift, I work 72s ON and we are not allowed to drive to a grocery store a few times a day, think we might hit a store/fast food place on a way home from a call QUICKLY. Don't get me wrong love these gals and guys
Nice! Always wondered what the day in the life of a firefighter around the US would look like. Now just out of curiosity, do some medical emergencies require bunker gear or just bunker pants? I’ve seen some medical before where they have full bunker gear or just the bunker pants on. My department usually goes without the bunker gear and stuff but is it different all around the US and Canada?
Not often, on medical calls, will you see our crews in bunker gear. Bunkers are primarily for fire calls and vehicle accidents. occasionally medical calls can be on roadways and the crews will respond in bunker gear with high vis vests.
@@SpokaneValleyFire Ok, that makes sense and thanks! My county (9 independent districts rather than one whole department) will run with bunk pants and high vis vest for medicals on roadways or near roads just for safety.
usually its because they are coming from a call that required turnout gear and simply did not take it off or they are wearing gym shorts underneath and opted not to strip down and then put their station uniform on.
Valley Engine 1 has responded to 2984 calls this year, 499 of those calls have been non-EMS calls. We are an all hazards agency. most of our apparatus are staffed as ALS units. So, yes, a huge portion of what we do is EMS.
Me: oh shoot, let me get out-of-the-way! Serious fire fighters in route!
Fire fighters: 🎶 get you freak on…get your freak on!🎶 🕺

The “this song makes me feel sexy” 😂

Thank you guys for keeping everyone safe even if a call is cancelled they still do what they have to do
We need more of Station 1!!!!!!!
At 7:05 when I used to work at Publix my friends are firefighters and they used to come and see me. And now I’m still friends with them. And I have a picture with them on our fire truck.
I’ve wanted to be a firefighter since I was little I’m almost seventeen and this makes me want to be one more than ever!! Thank you for your service!
Good luck to you on achieving your childhood dreams! Thank you for watching.
Thanks for being open and available. Great ambassadors for professional firefighters. I retired from a small City as Risk Manager with a Fire Rescue Department. Great respect for you all.
thank you guys for what you do for your community and any human alive. we appreciate people like you deeply
Like the way you bond together. Keep up your work and especially the singing. All the love from a german firefighter. (also singing😉)
love the banter this station has. Keep it up station 1!
I do dearly appreciate you alls service to protecting the community and I also am trying to get my fire certs in highschool
8:40 Lmao spot on, those errors drive me absolutely nuts.
You all need to invest in some bear claw shredders for the pulled pork, thank you guys for all that you do
Those are amazing!

We will have more coming out soon! thanks for watching.
Love it please make more of these!!
There is another episode being filmed tomorrow. Should drop before thanksgiving!
Can y'all do more videos like this? I love the long videos
more to come!
Love to see hometown departments being used as a training video looked like Catasauqua and Coplay Lehigh county from PA, great aggressive departments
Also to add it was a older home first alarm departments held it to just the kitchen. I did the emergency board up of that fire when I worked for a board up company
That's awesome! small world. Our crews do a lot of scenarios using film from departments to practice on scene communication. pretty important to have clear, effective communication in an emergency situation.
Modern day engine life is 70% canceled calls, 10% AFA's and the rest might actually be something.
More from them only!!

Tell me you are lazy without telling me
I hope someone can explain, but are all firefigthers also trrained paramedics? I'm not used to seeing firefighters being both.
Do y’all have special eye wear to help you see through dark fires and flames in general while on scene?
Eye wear, no. We do have thermal imaging cameras that can be used to help locate victims or find the seat of the fire when visibility is low. Firefighters do lots of training with blacked out masks to prepare for low/no visibility situations.
I have a fire dept RP group what calls should we run next shift and what units should respond(ex-fall-engine,ambulance)great video!
Toe Pain, Ambulance, Engine, Ladder, Rescue
a train sounds good right about now
matter of fact, where’s everybody from?

I like Washington I live near Spokane valley
It's a great place to call home. we like it too!
RUclips will judge everything bun related
haha! thats how you do it on the MTV?
JUST SO YOU KNOW IN AND OUT AUDIO AND UP AND DOWN ALSO .. JUST HELPFUL INFO
Question, whenever you guys opening the door on your engine or your apparatus a red light turn on, I’m guessing that’s just the door opening warning. I’m just used to car door opening warning lights. But please correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks!
correct, and it can do red light or white light depending on the time of day and light needs.
invest in a camera stabilizer pls🙏🙏
There should probably be a fee charged for every canceled call
Many times cancelled calls start as legitimate calls and the risk factor is mitigated. someone may be choking and the item dislodges while en route or a fire alarm is activated and the occupants find out it was burnt toast. It's important to treat every call like it's "the big one". time matters in emergency response. We don't get as many cancelled calls as this video may seem. just a weird shift.
2nd responders
Does Ski talk?
Fire hazard at the actual fire station, grill too close to flammable vinyl fencing. Am I right?
Ski seems like he's done with all yall's shit loooool
Why doesn’t PD take the blood draw to the hospital?
Station 1 was closer and had the capability to get them right in to accomplish the task.
Are cancelled calls included in the total call volume?
Yes, but they are a very small percentage of the calls received yearly. This crew just happened to have quite a few this day.
Why don't Firefighter have to plan their day/shift, I work 72s ON and we are not allowed to drive to a grocery store a few times a day, think we might hit a store/fast food place on a way home from a call QUICKLY. Don't get me wrong love these gals and guys
I don´t how it´s handled in the US but are you guys only three people on the engine? Seems not a lot...
3-4 depending on daily staffing levels.
Can you fix the audio, it very werid with headsets. And maybe film a bit higer up insted of filming their pants.

It depends here where I'm at in the US firefighters don't really where are there bunker gear to a medical aid but sometimes they do
@ Majority or 100% of time in Florida bunkers aren’t required for medicals or it seldomly happens.
Not often, on medical calls, will you see our crews in bunker gear. Bunkers are primarily for fire calls and vehicle accidents. occasionally medical calls can be on roadways and the crews will respond in bunker gear with high vis vests.

i really hate how stale the fire house looks. i wish it had some character.
Camera man is a firefighter?
No, Camera man works in the Community Affairs Department as a Multi Media Specialist but was a volunteer firefighter.
Where are men like this at my station
No wonder you have 3600 runs a yr . Your biggest percentage of calls are ems calls . Deduct the ems calls and what’s your amount of calls per year ?
Exactly
Valley Engine 1 has responded to 2984 calls this year, 499 of those calls have been non-EMS calls. We are an all hazards agency. most of our apparatus are staffed as ALS units. So, yes, a huge portion of what we do is EMS.
That's not how that works at all.
They leave the door 3600 times a year. What does it matter if they are ems or not? Busy is busy
Brother 3600 runs is 3600 runs ems is still calls still means they are busy. Take away ems calls? Do you think fire and ems just means fire calls?
I am shocked by the driver dancing in his seat and not paying full attention to his driving, sad i hope that doesnt come back to bite him in the butt
Very unprofessional. When you are in route to a emergency call you should never have music blaring in the truck
You are wrong. You can't be serious 100% of the time in this field, you would lose your mind
