Most of this country would be screwed without these great people who do this as volunteers.........May God keep them safe
Volunteering is fun though. That's the reason we do what we do. Not for the credit or the glory. We do it to have fun and to help people.
Aj Joyce well said!!
Amen
Most countries around the world with Volunteers, Hi from New Zealand
My father was a paid fire fighter 27 years in Rochester, Indiana and they had a lot of volunteers as well. I totally agree with your comment.
That ladder sounds and looks so nice. As a kid that was always my favorite piece of apparatus and even still to this day. They've always taken great care of their equipment and it shows.
that last engine out is probably STILL the best, hardest working machinery outta all them other newer ones.
Probably?
This is so cool that they get everything out what a he'll job I was a volunteer for 40 years good job
Absolutely love that ladder! Exactly how I expect a firetruck to sound. Not to mention I know it’s an older rig and they are taking great care of it.

Our station is 100% Volunteer. The operational volunteers are a dedicated group of firefighters and EMS 'Providers who respond 24/7/365. We are fortunate enough to have volunteers who are able to respond during the day. Our group of volunteers is from all walks of life. Business owners, journalists, farmers, teachers and college students to answering as many calls as they can.
For a call in our first due, we usually get our first due engine and depending on the call, the tower or rescue engine out the door within 4 minutes.
Lmfao! Loving all the comments! If your in the fire service all I ask is that you be safe out there. We all have the same reason to do the job and that’s to protect out community.
I agree with you about the fire house should be cleaned I live In wv we have firefighters that don't even show up the house
I am watching from Elmira NY really quick response from a volunteer fire department
Hello
As a former volunteer we were not allowed to drive directly to the fire as command had no way of knowing how many personnel would be showing up.
I love how fast the trucks cleared out of the station.the personal waist now tine which is great !
i love watching volunteer fire houses
Hello beautiful firetruck from tahiti french polynesia ❤
excellent response ,way to go ,be safe
As a former vol firefighter If I lived there I would volunteer my time
Damn, This video was posted 9 years ago and it’s still getting comments. Lmao! Thanks everyone!
I remember watching this video back in late 2012 and even the summer of 2013. It's a great video of seeing all of Middletowns rigs Clear the station.It still feels like yesterday when I was watching this video.I'm up in Newark and I live right down the road from christiana station 12.
damn thats a huge volunteer station!
No. Take a better look. I was thinking the same thing but not all of those windows are truck bays. If you look close you can see that the mid section is office space and only one "bay" on the other side has driveway access. Past that it's grass and the rest of the building is used for gym or rec hall or something. I'm not even sure that bay on the other side is a truck bay. They just designed the building to have a "balanced" look across the front. I think I'll hop over to Google earth and see if I can get a "street view".
I'm back.
Per web site; that far side is a "rental hall" and reviewing the vid that one bay on the other side of the office space seems to be the EMS bay.
Station has 3 EMS units, a boat (?? On trailer??), mini pumper (brush), air unit, 2 engines, HD rescue pumper and mid-mount tower.
Their is a sub station that has a EMS, brush unit, rescue pumper and 75 ft aerial.
@@jackgibsxxx0750 still a huge building and trucks for german standards of volunteer fire depts. we have 2 Engines, a Heavy rescue truck, a boat, A small incident command unit and something between an engine and a rescue truck (there is no word for it in english)
@@noahl3295 .. Re: "something between" We call that a "Rescue Engine". 😉😉
It's an Engine with most rescue equipment as well as a pump and tank and hose.
I take it your in Germany. You do seem to use smaller Apparatus over there.
This town in the vid is a urban area but they also cover open land and do mutual aid with other FD. So they have a lot of equipment.
Stay safe.
@@jackgibsxxx0750 I haven't found that word on the internet, thank you. And we drive smaller trucks because our streets are pretty narrow most of the time. There wouldn't be enough room for bigger trucks, although we carry the same amount of tools on our apparatus and we also have ladders that are 100foot long. US trucks look sick tho👍🏻🇩🇪🇺🇸
My dad was a firefighter 27 years in Indiana. The trucks that do go out are the ones required by the chief or whoever is senior member at the fire Department. This is how the firehouse my dad worked at operated.
i like this.especially the girl running in.
I want to see you guys are dope and that inspires a lot of people who want to be firefighters and my son and my son loves you guys and that's my truck amen God bless you guys
Fantastic response by these volunteers - the paid fire departments could learn from these guys and gals
Hello Bill Boy: I agree on fantastic response. In terms of the rest of your message/comment: Let's just thank all who have served regardless. We've lost brave folks on both sides. Thanks, Bill Boy. I've been on both sides.
The community is blessed to have so many available volunteers. I am guessing Saturday or Sunday. Monday thru Friday = Work, School, Family Obligations. This is why volunteers take 3 members to equal one career member serving 24 hours per day. Secondly, volunteers can read and write. There is no reason why volunteers cannot commit to being available for those incidents that only require a single resource. We don't need the entire fleet and department on a BLS Medical Aid or Rubbish Fire. This does not mean you are totally stuck if something happens in your life. It means picking up the phone and having someone else cover in your place.
ALL THE FIRE STATIONS IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE SHOULD BE ABLE TO THE SAME THING PREACH IT
That's a big volunteer station
It’s funny that people are still commenting on a video from years ago. Lol! Thanks for all the input but I’m not a Member of this company and I was on Duty on a private ambulance company which is not connected to this fire company. Have a nice day everyone!
You do know how RUclips works don't you?
It is not about "clearing the house for ever fire" It's about clearing the house when you need to on a working fire or other larger incident. It's about being there when your community or when your needed for mutual aid partners need you. It's not about running in to the station on every call. This looks good. What is most important is having enough people when you really need them and having the training to be safe and keep the public safe. I am sure you mean well though.
Your commenting on a video from years ago.
Junbug Torres since when did the age of the video matter? I mean unless this was in 1943 it's still relevant to comment on.I mean,if you think it's too old to comment on then why not take it down?
It shouldn't be just on working fire boxes it should be like this on every call regardless if it's a c.o. detector activation ,auto alarm , water flow alarm ,manual pull station ,odor etc... not just people who show up when there is a confirmed job... people like that who never show and cause the same 6 to 8 people to show up for 95 percent of the runs combined with ever increasing training hour requirements is causing burnout and leading to even lower numbers of volunteers and making retention all but impossible
@@livewithnick I’m way behind on this video, do you think it’s ok for me to put my 2 cents in? Lol. I agree maybe he should take this video down if it matters that much to him.
That is where my dad's volunteers for
Wow that's got to be the biggest fire department I ever saw look at all the bays wow!
id rather see 3 trucks roll out with a full crew , then a whole station of trucks and not enough firefighters to run all that equipment
I agree a full crew is much wiser 95% of the time. Some times that is not an option for many reasons. I think most of the rigs had 4 plus on them. The last engine I could only hold a crew of 4 may be 5 if they put 3 in the front cab area.
@@ahnbra but they were crews of 3.......
But maybe all those rigs were needed. Once on scene, they can all work together. In my town we sometimes get driver only. There are times when it's all that can be done.
you most be a paid &better us we have jobs you sit on your ass
As a volunteer it’s hard to count on how many people are going to respond, and when they’ll get there.
So sometimes it’s smart to send out your appliance as soon as you have a decent enough crew because you aren’t sure who’s coming and you know you’re needed asap at that job.
They seemed to have a good turnout anyway, and you can always park appliances up and just use the man power on board for other taskings, it doesn’t hurt to have the extra trucks that’s for sure.
Where is this fire house located? Man it's a massive house.
Del
I don't know the complete setup of the county fire system, where this hose company is, but I'm a strong believer that all volunteer companies should always have either volunteers, or paid staff at the station at all times. At least enough to man one suppression unit and, maybe, one ambo. Hopefully, the county has enough staffing 24/7. When structures are on fire, and people are trapped, every minute counts. I'm not putting down the volunteer system, I was once a volunteer. Many large counties have volunteers, but even a volunteer company should have live-in staff for the evenings/nights, and paid staffing during the day, if they don't have enough volunteers.
Pretty much every firehouse in New Castle County has at least a 2-man ambulance crew in station consisting of either volunteers or paid EMS/fire personnel employed by the volunteer fire departments. Many have a full fire crew in station at almost all times, though home response still exists for additional apparatus. In this case, Middletown already had both an engine crew and an ambulance crew in station when the call came in.
Thanks 👍👍
Good video and nice turnout. It’s rare to see a turnout like that for any volunteer department in the US. Doesn’t make this department any better. Don’t call out other departments, I’m sure their doing the best they can with the manpower they have. They also still have to feed their families.
As a national champion 80-83 in a volunteer department , you have two speeds stop and haul ass ...if you are doing the gal at home yank out and let it roll down your leg ...you are going...words of the best Chief in the world.
it is about getting to the station ,getting turned out and rolling out and do this with a margin of safety...not clearing the station!
U don’t have to keep saying it bro we get itn
Benito Gonzales I agree, over and over we all understood the first two times.
I know. in nj we'd call him a squirel. narrator probably got 10 lights on his 20 yr old clunker car
Loved the guy running in in bare feet.
That's the way it works when you are a firefighter!
I think that’s a good response time, of course not knowing when the page came out. Great turnout to, at are department we are lucky to have 6 guys show up during the day
Lane Grass The siren had just finished going off when I park the ambulance in the parking lot. I was working on a Non Emergency ambulance. This company has two fire stations. This is the main one. I don’t know what the response time from the other station was.
Frank Torres that’s a better turnout than you’ll ever see from my department.
🎤 Well It’s The Big House ( sung like wrestler The Big Shows Theme) Impressive Fire House there brother
This looks like a pretty big company.. how many bay bar in that station . Just each of those doors has a unit behind.. is there any double bays..
I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION TO ASK FRANK TORRES!!!
Being a former volunteer firefighter I disagree with your assessment waiting to clear the fire house. Where I am from key people roll apparatus from the house and the firefighters meet it at the scene.
Fred Flinstone here in delaware...POVing to scenes can get us in trouble
unless you must literally drive past the scene, it is more productive and organized to do it this way. especially for the hills and forests in that area.
It all depends on your department and the situation. Mine everyone responds to the station unless you're a chief or medical. Fires engine,engine,tanker then rescue. Not every fire or major innocent we clear who's working and what not.
Obvious armchair warrior!
Fred Flinstone here in NY, we really shouldn’t POV to calls unless you’re exterior. We wait for people to get on the truck. If we don’t get a full crew within a couple minutes whoever is on the truck goes. It’s not our job to wait for you to take your sweet time. We get out as soon as we can. On a fire alarm for my department during the day, the first engine out the door yields 4-6 people, and the ladder gets 1-3 people out if that many. We’ve only filled our rescue 1 time ever on a wreck at which we were canceled upon arriving. Where do you come from? Your area should be filling trucks. Not going straight to the scene.
That's how are company is fast response and other members pouring in .
*our
go get 'em brother
i love this video make some more like this please
Hats off indeed!
Well done!
I'm a fire fighter there it's fun but I got in this year
Tower was out of service getting its annual testing done
Tower responded
John Showers the spare ladder!
Central New York Responses the ladder from the sun station station 1 near summit bridge rd
Wow awesome station and nice video
The way I see it from a fireman point they got most of the trucks out but to say they cleared the fire house out that's means the brush truck would have to go
Besides the commentary and the countless guys getting dressed enroute, nice video.
Nice response time. Y'all should see Skippack, pa
It's not hard to clear a house when there's a working fire .. go there for a auto alarm or lesser call and see if its the same .. bet it w ont be... It's like that everywhere that's volunteer..even here in pa
Also this company has two stations and that also cleared out.
Awesome video dude!!
Thanks
That is a HUGE station
Alot of code fever going on here. Those apparatus are coming out pretty Hot. If I was command I would make sure they are leaving the apron slower. That second engine was probably 25-30 mph and entered the street at a angle. It is real hard to see traffic on the passenger side like that. I would hate to see the next call be them having to extricate a civilian out of a grill of a fire apparatus.
That station is massive, whats on the other side?
More bay doors and a Banquet Hall
You should never dump a house, in case another alarm comes in. Now you have all your resorces at one fire, with no one to respond to a second call, and no apparatus to work with either.
This isn’t a rural state. We have fire companies real close. We also have other stations come in and cover up the district. This is Delaware. New Castle County alone has about 40 fire companies. A lot of them have multiple stations.
I think they know what they are doing lol
Can’t get that near me in Lebanon County or Berks county or they leave with only 2 to try and get there first to beat other companies and leave others behind at station
HOW MANY BAYS DOES THIS STATION HAVE
Bill Chisholm at least 8
Wow by the time they get to the fire the home will be completely burned down.Look how long it took for them r
To get the trucks out?
@@MusicLoverPearson This fire company has another station that’s not in this video. They were on scene already. However, before you say something like that you should volunteer and experience it first.
Here in Pa. most volunteers carry gear in their vehicles so if they can’t make the house they’ll head straight to the scene. A lot of times the apparatus rolls with just the driver.
Good question 🙋♂️
Is this volunteer fire department
I live in Townsend and they clear the house no matter what love DE
Hello
I'm from Kentucky.....how are you doing
Great Job!
Slow in getting ready for such a large group assembled.
They are volunteers dude not full timers
Yes listen to the expert firefighter standing there filming instead of being a volunteer
Yes comment on a video from years ago when I was working on a private ambulance and also not a member of this fire house. Thank tho! You are awesome! Lmfao!
Every volunteer fire department should strive to be as fast as these guys. That’s four full rigs plus an ambo in 8 minutes!
I am a volunteer at this fire house. Probationary but. I work there
What department are you with brother.im in upstate NY.in schylor county
The way it should be proud volunteer 17 year's
Does this station have a fire siren on top of the building
Delaware train productions I think they have sirens through out the town like Smyrna does. That’s what got my attention and I ended up going to the parking lot to record.
The dude at 3:15 must've been listening to the Tokyo drift soundtrack
its all depends on weather and the calls and the men power that u have and not all fire houses have men power like this anyways
danny ebbert out of 60 of our active members, like 20 actually run calls.
I want to ask you a question regarding volunteers that take the apparatus out which one they know to take out?
Depending on the call like my department rolls the ladder truck for all reported structure fire and automatic fire alarms. 2nd out is the engine rescue and squad.
Most volunteer departments will have a run board inside the station that says which rigs go to what depending on the call unless dispatch specifies it initially.
@2:20 Nice sounding ladder truck with a detroit diesel engine.
My 4am alarm
That station wasn't cleared I still see the squad in there
Kenny Lotus you don’t take a brush on a structure fire. Urban interface trucks.
@@centralnewyorkresponses7887 It depends, if you're out in a rural area and you know that you're getting enough people to take trucks then hell yeah, have that brush out the firehouse as first due especially on a possible structure fire. It can get there faster than an engine, quint, rescue, or ladder can so it can get there first and give a proper size up for crews coming in. Some departments do have SCBA's on there brushes so that can also help when they get there too if someone is possibly trapped inside. Time is of the essence especially nowadays in the Fire Service.
LoSTheSpirit in My department if we can’t get a truck close to the house we will just pull a 300 foot speedlay to it. Our brush truck does not carry structural gear. I get what you mean though. Every department has their own procedure.
I wonder if it’s the way it SHOULD be done?
That is a good question. I wonder also. Lol!
Amazing Video wow
THAT'S THE WAYTO CLEAR THE HOUSE
It has long been said that volunteers run to a alarm, paid FF walk.
They have the same Paint scheme as Hopwood Vfd Station 20
swp Are you from Hopwood?
@@rockdatent I live close to there
swp I use to visit hopwood when I was younger. My uncle lived there. All I remember is living near some softball field.
@@rockdatent that's awesome!! It's a great place to live
Instead of sending all this money to Ukraine it should be spent here at home and paying these volunteers for the service and sacrifice this give every day across the entire country. If anybody deserves some compensation it's our first responders , especially the volunteers. you would think that somebody in our piss poor government would realize this and take a stand. just saying.
This is me I'm on the county rescue squad we get called out as soon as I get to the building I'm grabbing my gear and running also seconds matter in a situation whatever it maybe
they can do this because they have the manpower to. many companies don't, so how can you say what you're saying in ur narration. you can't force people to volunteer. and you can't judge a fire company, just on the amount of active volunteers that happen to live close by. come on bro.
Michael Patanella not all of these people live nearby! Some live half way across town!!
@@centralnewyorkresponses7887 I dont even know what ur talking about. what does your response have to do with what I said. lol
Michael Patanella their members are spread around the district. That’s the same thing everywhere i’ve been.
@@centralnewyorkresponses7887 And!??? i still don't even know what your response has to do with my original comment. lay off the weed homie.
Is there a roof siren?
Christopher Ritchie Im not totally sure. I think there is and that’s the reason I knew there was a call. I can’t remember. This video was taken years ago. I’m no longer in the fire service.
not sure about this plan , In Australia we have maned stations
In America 88% of the fire departments are Volunteer.
Do you understand how much larger and more spread out America is than Australia?
@@lawoftheland5923 you haven’t been to delaware have you? Lol! There is a Fire station or 3 in every town. Lol!
You sure about that? Australia has tons of volunteer brigades and even retained stations where the firefighters are paid on call.
They got a job.
They didn't get ladder out
Let see how many show up. For a BS run. at 3 am. When they gotta be at work at. 5 am.
dan wetzel some armchair idiots don’t know what it’s like to be a volunteer. We jump out of bed half naked and come to the station as fast as we can sometimes. We don’t care what other people think, we just think about what we can do to remedy the situation in which we are responding to. As long as we get members to show up! Volunteers are getting more and more scarce.
I'm not a member of this fire company number 1 and 2 I was already at work on a private ambulance. Thanks tho.
This is how ya dump the house, rookies. The volunteers that scratch on calls would never make it in Middletown.
Ladder is screaming detroit diesel
Wheres this located ??
Non Ya Middletown, Delaware
Frank Torres thanks buddy
What's stopping you from being a firefighter yourself
Well……………….When I recorded this a long time ago I was an active volunteer firefighter with another station in the same county. However when I recorded this I was working my day job with a transport ambulance company. I’m no longer a firefighter. I put in 12 years.
@rockdatent oh ok I was just wondering since I ask others the same thing and THANK YOU for your public service
@@iuaump4 It was a very memorable time in my life. I always suggest that people volunteer with our local stations. It’s a great feeling and you learn a lot.
Middletown where ? OHIO
Caption says Middletown, DE. “De” stands for Delaware.
Skip the narration and video would be great
Love that people still want to be negative and critics about a video that was posted years ago. Lmfao!
i know brotha i am a daughter of a firefighter-granddaughter of the chief my dad-grandpa
