- My biggest catch so far! On July 24th, 2021, I filmed a huge Seattle fire response for a reported train derailment with fire in north Seattle.
I'd barely managed to park before the parade of units started passing me, so unfortunately I was still in my car for the Hazmat truck and the chief parade, but I was able to hop out for Rescue 1 and 3 tillers in a row!
The train fire turned out to be overheated brakes, not a derailment, so most units were put back into service. I was hoping I'd finally get footage of Decon 1 on this run, but it was cancelled before it reached me. Oh well, I can't complain about getting a response this big.
I probably wouldn't have gotten any units, but there was initially confusion about which mile marker the train was at, so units first responded to the south side of the ship canal.
Units seen:
Aid units 2, 10, 14, Medic 18, Medic 44
Battalions 2, 4 & 6, Staff 10, Safety 2, Deputy 1
Engines 8, 9, 10, 18, 20, 41
Ladders 1, 4, 6, 8
Rescue 1, Hazmat 1
Clip listing:
0:00 - Aid 2 and Battalion 6 responding (dashcam)
0:19 - Engine 18 and Battalion 4 responding (dashcam)
0:51 - Engine 10, Hazmat 1, Battalion 2, Ladder 1 and Aid 10 responding
1:13 - Staff 10, Safety 2, Deputy 1 and Medic 44 responding
1:28 - Ladder 8, Ladder 6, Ladder 4 and Engine 20 responding
1:54 - Engine 9, Engine 41, Engine 8, Rescue 1, Aid 14 and Medic 18 responding

"Hey chief how many units should we tone out?" "Yes"
😂 "Everyone!"
2:42 actually with a fire this size I think they didn’t overprepare
@@jayasmrmore3687 Yeah, if it had actually been a derailed oil train on fire, this many units would have been a good start... thanks for watching!
2 days ago in my city there was a scrap yard fire, 34 units where toned out
I wonder what the actual call at the stations sounded like
That was the heaviest response I've ever seen. That call looked like it tied up most of the cities' units that day.
Yeah, it was the biggest response I've seen. The city still had plenty of resources available, but it definitely made a dent in them!
That is by far one of the best catches I’ve seen in a while. Awesome job!
Thanks Rayce - I definitely got lucky with this one!
Good job lucas
WOW--three ladders in a row!!! That was awesome man.
Thanks! Yeah, I'm not sure I'll catch that again 😀 ... still a little sad that they cancelled Decon 1 before it got to me though!
How many tilers do they need over there?
@@what_ever1971 pretty standard, heavy rescue typically gets atkeast two trucks, train derailment obviously more manpower
Ladders are life savers for offensive attacks. Also I’m a volunteer firefighter and we use our ladder a lot for rescue missions like they are AWESOME if you got swift water rescue and some one maybe 20 ft off from the bank you spin the ladder around with the firefighter and his ppe. When you have a ladder or platform it gives you options on rescue methods
@@what_ever1971 12 34 there are 4 tiller trucks
Terrific catch as usual the paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks to everyone who responds keep them safe out there job well done you should be proud love respect you guys thanks ! Joe
Wow, I'm impressed. 3 tillers in a row is quite the accomplishment! HazMat 1 & Rescue 1 make it even better. Overall a solid, satisfying response vid. Great work Lucas!
Now that is "front-end loading" a call...awesome to see!!
For sure - thanks for watching!
thats more units then my city has 🤣🤣 we have 1 rescue, 1 tanker, 1 Hasmat, 1 ESU, 2 cheifs, 4 trucks, 5 engines
Holyyy, that's one for the books!!! So glad you caught this, lots of awesome units. Nice work man!
Thanks Liam, I appreciate it!
Units I guess everyone is responding Seattle fd your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks to everyone who responds keep them safe out there job well done you should be proud you have to be in the right place to see a terrific catch as usual way to go appreciate you guys thanks !

Joe ❤😂😂😅😊
One of my favorite response videos on youtube.
Thank you so much! This is definitely one of my best catches ever!
I can well imagine that the dispatcher on-duty was already arranging,(or maybe rearranging), what left of his/her availability list to help cover whatever districts were going to windup with longer response times.
Excellent Filming my Fire Buff Friend.
Man it looks like a fast paced Parade. Boy bet (Johnny & Roy would have Loved that BIG Rescue) back in the 70s on the (Best TV show) in my Humble opinion (Emergency) those
L.E.D. Roof Emergency LIGHTS are so much Brighter in Daylight/Sunny days.
That many emergency vehicles to a train derailment (or wreck) is not surprising... A friend of mine had an aunt who lived in Bourbonnais, IL - site of the massive Amtrak southbound _City of New Orlreans_ accident, when the train at full speed, hit a truck full of steel that was trying to cross... There must have been at least one hundred emergency vehicles on or nearing the scene!
You have to be in the right place to see a respond by the Seattle fd responding your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks terrific catch as usual job well done you should be proud ! Joe
Thanks for watching Joe, I appreciate it!
That may be one of your best ever!
Got to listen to the rail response on the online scanner. Good thing it wasn’t any more than overheated brakes. Awesome capture Lucas. Keep me coming and thanks again for the posts
Thanks for watching Jeff! I went back and listened to the scanner afterward - definitely glad it wasn't a fire, especially with where the train ended up (below/near a lot of houses) and since it was an oil train.
Amazing catches! That convoy of tillers was damn cool! And to have both Hazmat and Rescue responding to the same call is cool too!
0:55 wow they were flying! Awesome shot
They were! I wouldn't have minded if they went slower so I could get better video, but ah well 😂
Holy cow!! Awesome Catch Lucas, you got really lucky catching this response, too bad you couldn’t get out of the car for Hazmat 1, but hey still a good catch!
Thank you!! Yeah, I really wish I'd been a few minutes faster so that I could have gotten a better shot of Haz 1 ... next time!
The catch of the day!! Awesome, 23 units!! You were smart. Park and just wait for all the units to pass you enroute to the call.
Thanks for watching Garry! (And sorry for the late reply). I was lucky on this one since they all came down the same road - it's not always that easy 😀
@@lucaslaughing I love how that parking place was reserved for you. I always thought I was strange for wanting to watch fire trucks. There are so many awesome videos of trucks responding. I was always thrilled since I was a kid. We used to have a fire station a couple blocks away. There is something about the federal Q and air horns that has thrilled me all my life.
The convoy at 2:54 are so special. Aerial unit
Dang...nice catch! Trying to imagine all of the equipment shifting in mutual aid support. Tones going off everywhere...aw heck, everybody just go!
"More ladder trucks will catch? Awesome! 🚨 🚒" Seattle Fire
There is just something about the tandem tillers that I like..
Yep, "train derailment" and "fire" would warrant such a large response, esp. in that location where the tracks run very close to homes and buildings.
That is one of the best catches dude, I am impressed, great catches
Thank you! I'm really happy with this one 😀
2:03 3 engines in a row epic!
Awesome video man! You never disappoint.
Thanks Zach, I appreciate it!
Awesome catch, I don't get very lucky spotting in Seattle but you took the cake on this one.
Thank you! Seattle is definitely all about luck - hopefully you'll have good luck one of these days!
Dang! That was an epic catch. You just earned yourself a new subscriber.
Thanks so much! This was definitely my best catch, but I feel like I'm due to get another big one soon 😀
Go get em brothers! I love watching huge convoys! Awesome catch Lucas!
Thanks for watching! I was lucky, in that they responded to a different location first, and then a lot of them ended up in a convoy going to the corrected location.
Look for "San Bernardino County Response Videos" for some large ones to vegetation fires. Also Los Angeles, California has some large response videos. When we get a wildland fire we send everyone. You may see some bulldozer transports responding Code 3..a rare site.
I bet everyone that worked/lived & was driving in that area was wondering what the heck was going on lol
Yeah, there were a lot of confused/worried comments on the local facebook groups!
Seattle fd your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks to everyone who responds keep them safe out there job well done you should be proud appreciate you guys thanks for everything good looking fire engines and tiller trucks like the style way to go ! Joe
Now that’s sending the city! Very nice catch!
Thanks Shaun!
Now that’s a response!! Awesome video!
Thanks for watching!!
Nice job. The 3 Seattle ladders nose to tail was cool. I find the tillers interesting having a 2nd drive axle on the cab compared to 1 axle most cities use.
If you see a single axle tiller in WA state odds are its a unit that is smaller and or built lighter. Very strict weight laws that fire apparatus are not exempt from.
The huge pavement crusher single axles wouldn't fly up here.
Those single rear pierce ascendants with their 33,500 rear axles wouldn't legally be allowed to operate here.
With an overweight permit your max is 31k on a single drive axle and 50k on a tandem. Without an overweight permit it is 24k single and 43k tandem.
It's mind blowing what some of these single axle units are weighing now days to the point of being borderline dangerous.
Thanks for watching Josh! This was definitely the first time I'd seen 3 tillers in a row like that.
Interesting - thanks for the info Chaka!
Considering the length & weight of the tiller ladders, I am surprised more departments don't use dual axels on the back of the cab.
WOW! What an AWESOME Response! Just Incredible Catches!👍👏
Thank you! This was definitely my biggest catch (so far)!
@@lucaslaughing You are Very Welcome!
Amazing catches! Was that Engine 9's horn at 1:53? Sounded great.
As a volunteer firefight who been to a train fire the reason for 23 rigs responding 2 big reasons. 1. These are what us rural firefighter call “city trucks” typically railroad tracks don’t have hydrants close. So if you don’t have a hydrant close you can bring other rigs which only has 500-750 gallons usually for city trucks. Now second reason is for haz mat situation. Depending on what spilled and how much it can take a lot of labor to clean up .
The newer pumpers carry 1500 gallons water, with a 500 gal foam capacity
@@thedisabledchef2159 - no dept is gonna order a truck with 500 gallons of foam one. And no city truck gonna be ordered with 1500 gallons of water on board. Rural dept maybe, but city no they got hydrants everywhere.
Sure you right! As you stated, you don't know the bigger departments! Several larger Cities have these particular pumpers!
@@thedisabledchef2159 - large cities don't need 1500 gallons on board. secondly, you can't even get a 500 gallon foam tank.
Kk, I'm not talking about it anymore
Nice catch! This is near where I used to live; looked like you were parked just west of the intersection of Market and 28th NE; I lived three blocks up the hill from there. I do recall at least one call (I heard on my scanner) early one morning, which involved a confusion of which side of the Ship Canal to respond to; involved an engine room fire aboard the-then Western Towboat, Marauder, which docked where boats would tie up, waiting for "locking thru". Fortunately, not serious, though the "Chief Seattle" did show up just in case.
Thanks Craig! Yeah, this was confusing call since the train was still in motion, but it definitely worked out well for me 😀
Impressive response...must have been the “if it starts, bring it” response plan.
Omg, this was epic, best response video on YT
Thanks for watching!
Damn what a catch! Nice one Lucas!
Thank you! Definitely lucked out that day 😁
Reminds me of afew years ago out by me. A cities townsquare caught fire. They put it out but then it restarted later that night. The fire got so out of hand the city called multiple fire stations with some units responding from as far as 30 to 45 miles away to assist. All you heard were sirens wailing all day as fire engines poured into the city while a thick plume of smoke flew overhead.
Wow, that sounds like it would have been quite the call. Thanks for watching!
Holy moly!! Great catch!
Thank you! SFD had a super busy day and night yesterday - hopefully those crews can relax a bit today!
Awesome catch. You win.
that's one of the best responses you've ever done! :D
I agree - thank you for watching!
Wow! Great catch! Unfortunately for me I was out of town.
Oh bummer, I was hoping you'd have gotten some of the response. Next time for sure!
Oh my gosh! That’s insane! SO COOOL!
Thanks for watching!!
@@lucaslaughing you’re very welcome!
Crazy and sad to think that each of these calls they go to can be their last. Like 9/11, all of those guys going there and never coming back.
Great video, I've never seen a video with so much apparatus going on a call. Must be some sorta record. God Bless!
It was definitely the most I've seen going to one call! Thanks for watching!
Look for "San Bernardino County Response Videos" for some large ones to vegetation fires. Also Los Angeles, California has some large response videos. When we get a wildland fire we send everyone. You may see some bulldozer transports responding Code 3..a rare site.
Nice catches!
Thanks Brian!
Nice catch Lucas 👍
Thanks Stevyn!
That is simply amazing
Awesome vid man. U got my sub
Thanks, I appreciate it!
This is incredible! What a sight
Yeah, this was awesome to see - thanks for watching!
We were there in Ballard that day wondering what was going on. I never heard anything about a derailment, but the BNSF is accessible from the end of the Salmon Bay Bridge to the end of Golden Gardens. After that, it would probably only be accessible by fireboat. Great catch.
Thanks! Yeah, there were a lot of confused/concerned people on the local Facebook page too - definitely an unusually large response.
The originally reported location for the call was closer to the Interbay yard, and the train ended up stopping just a little ways north of the Ballard Locks.
@@lucaslaughing That makes sense. If someone observed the train on fire at Interbay, it probably took awhile to notify the crew and get it stopped. Anyway, it was a great light show.
Reminds me of San Jose (CA) Fire's Alert II at Mineta San Jose some years ago. It was for a commercial flight coming in, with Landing gear warning light on. The plane landed safely, but, it was all Airport Fire equipment, plus like 3 alarms of regular equipment on the scene. I wish I could have video taped it.
Oh wow, that would have been quite the response - thanks for watching!
Soooo awesome.love the parade of SFD responding
Thanks for watching Linda - it was awesome to see!
That is so amazing
Where did this train derailment and fire take place at? Was it in Los Angeles County or what?
I had a feeling that you’d catch this!
It was close! If they hadn't gone to Magnolia first, I don't think I would have gotten any - thanks for watching!
Great stuff!! Lucas
Thanks Ismaeel!
Were there Amy units left to cover calls??
Hi Lucas my name is Sam I like your videos very much this one is on of my favorites take care and be safe
Hi Sam, thanks for watching - I appreciate it!
this is so awesome
Thank you for watching!
a lot of catch's awesome job
Damn its like they called every house in Seattle and said "Send everyone!"
That might be the GOAT right there sir.
Thanks Zach - it was definitely my best so far!
Dang! A key train derailed? Wow!
Luckily it turned out to be a false alarm (smoking brakes). Thanks for watching Tim!
Sweet catch
Thank you!
Amazing!
Thanks Sam!
3 tillers back to back beautiful
I agree - thanks for watching!
Tillers coming back to back to back you know it’s serious
YOU KONW THAT RUCK SAY "DO NOT FOLLOW"
Seeing 3 hook n ladder trucks in a row, wowsers awesome
Yeah, it was awesome to see - thanks for watching!
@@lucaslaughing Thanks for sharing it buddy
I wonder what everybody was thinking when they witnessed all of those trucks 😵
I have a video on my channel out of Philadelphia Fire that shows a BIG response. I got lucky on that one!
Is this the one with the big train crash in downtown Seattle a few years ago
This was from a derailment call that turned out to be a false alarm. Not sure which train crash you're thinking of - there was the Amtrak crash in Dupont, which is about 40 miles south of Seattle.
I don't think there have been any crashes in Seattle proper.
so was their a train crash?
Man sounds like a cat fight those sirens🤣
1:01 since the hazmat was responding it looks like a chemical train accident, but was it a freight train?
It was an oil train, so classified as a freight train but carrying hazardous materials.
Alternate title: "Entire Seattle Fire Department responds to train derailment".
three ladder companies... sight to behold
Wow.
Talk about convoy!
Hah, right? Most of them went to another address first, so they were nicely setup for a convoy when they relocated. Thanks for watching!
Nice!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Cool even a ladder parade
This is so cool
Thanks for watching!
1:29 bro. 3 dual axle tillers and an engine. Holy mother of me I’m in heavan
Plus dispatch probably moved up another 20 units to cover the empty stations!
these boys be rolling fr
Their ladder trucks are huge. I'm in Wenatchee from Okinawa.
Yeah, definitely some giant equipment compared to Japan/Europe. Thanks for watching!
@@lucaslaughing no I mean Seattle FD
Is there a fire house that has nothing but tillers?
Lol, that would be a cool house - in this case, they response was sent to the wrong place first, so the tiller all repositioned from the same location. Thanks for watching!
What did it end up being? Rolled over a penny ?
Sorry for the late reply - it ended up being smoking brakes.
where are they all coming from??
Initially, this call had units staging south of the ship canal; from that scene, they all headed north more or less in a big line. Thanks for watching!
Buffs would be losing their mind rn
That's cool 👍
DAMN!
23 Cars are not unusal here in Germany. The bigest Firestation has in Germany 72 Firetrucks.
Wow, that's huge! I feel like Europe tends to have a larger number of smaller trucks, and N. America tends to be the opposite. I think the biggest fire station in Seattle has 8 trucks.
