7.5 minutes code 3 to get to the fire station seems like a long time to me. I'm a vol and in my area nobody is more the 3-4 minutes from their station, and we are not allowed to go code in our POV's.
It takes a significant amount of time. As a volunteer yourself, you are likely aware of the challenges that fire services are currently facing with volunteers. For instance, 40 years ago, the population stood at 234,000,000, whereas today it has risen to 332,000,000. Emergency calls have also increased from 10,819,000 to 36,416,000 during the same period. The number of volunteer firefighters has decreased from 898,000 to 676,000. This data was reported by ABC 30 news. Is it worth my time, gas, and money to continue volunteering. Living just 7 miles away from the station in Augusta, GA, and volunteering in Beech Island, SC, I could easily stay home. If Augusta, GA, had a volunteer program, I would have likely chosen to volunteer here. I strongly believe that every community should have emergency services to assist people in need. Despite the challenges, I'm passionate about what I do. While there are individuals closer to the station who respond either with their personal vehicle or by getting an apparatus, I usually head straight to the scene in my personal vehicle. Although it is uncommon for me to use an apparatus, there are days when it becomes necessary due to the lack of available responders. Every department has their own way to respond and operate. I thank you for watching and commenting.
Been on a volunteer department before and this is what it is like when not many people are around during the day about 8 minutes to get to the station crazy so total time before first Engine on scene is about 15 minutes . Plus not to mention he didn't even take his turnout gear with him except his helmet. So now if a house fire came In he has no gear. Glad he didn't need it on this call and what the hell kinda system is on that on the truck for the sand? Never seen that on a fire Engine.
This apparatus is our heavy rescue. There is no pump. The oil dry is on top of the apparatus and is gravity fed down a tube to put in buckets. The Engine and small crew where already on scene. One of the crew members had to leave. Thanks for watching.

My days as a volunteer firefighter from ‘86 to now, really not uncommon. One person gets the truck, everyone else meet at the scene. Welcome to NH.
It is becoming more common than it used to be.

Good stuff God Bless and stay safe.
Thank you.
It's not often you see a tow truck involved with a crash, especially one that bad. Curious what happened.
Is your Motorola radio uhf or vhf ? Pov fire response
What kind of system do you have and camera's
Finally we get some local boys on RUclips.
Ha ha are you in Aiken or Augusta?
@@POV-Fire-Response Hephzibah
@@POV-Fire-Response seen you around running 10-18 never knew you was Beech Island capin. Great show and nice set up on your truck
Thank you. The truck is showing its age along with me.
@@POV-Fire-Response brother that's everybody 😂 me especially LOL
@POV - Fire - Response what video was it when you got a call while getting coffee?
I really do not remember when that one was done. I assume the one when I was at Starbucks? I do not recall the call type.
@@POV-Fire-Response yea it was also the one where Siri thought you said I’m going to a car 🤣
@@POV-Fire-Response Any Idea when the next video is going to be. You okay haven't seen a video in awhile
Dude must have been hauling
Yes he was. He was hauling the car that he was on top of.
@@POV-Fire-Response pffff touche Chief touche
You need to find a way to stabilize that camera. What you are doing is great work but too hard to watch with the camera shaking so bad.
Yes right now its on my safety vest. Not stable at all. I will look into getting a mount for it.
Why take a apparatus if you don't have a crew
Its a volunteer department, and most times they just meet the truck at the scene since they mostly all have there gear in the POV.
No crew with his on the way to the fire in the engine
Yeah no crew with him to go to the car accident because it's a volunteer department and now a days there are not many volunteers around during the day
Crew was on scene. We had members already responding with an Engine.
