Ride Along - Wichita Rescue 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2023
- To kick off my RUclips channel I called my friends at Wichita, Kansas Fire Department and set up a couple ride alongs. The first was a 24-hour shift with Rescue Company 1 on the southeast side of the city. We responded to more calls than I could include in this video, which gives you a behind the scenes look at life inside the WFD.
You can tell Isaac is not camera shy and has practiced to do a walk around on his truck because he flies right through it and doesn't stutter as some firefighters do when doing walk arounds. Isaac also has amazing energy and an encouraging smile especially with that sweet moustache.
I agree 100%
That's a man that's been on the job a long time and knows his shyt front to back 🫡
Being on a specialty truck for so long I’m sure he’s done plenty of tours on it 😂

thats my house at 16:30! Determined that lightning DID strike the house TWICE! Surge blew up a light switch, lots of our electronics were fried and some hosing for our natural gas got spiderwebbed by the strike. No fires but house smelled very much like something was burning and good thing we found the gas line very quickly to replace. They were so awesome and thorough! Appreciate our WFD! TOP NOTCH!
I love seeing the grins and excitement from kids getting to go in a truck. It makes their day!
A proper RESCUE, 2 man cab, walk through body 👍
Couldn't agree more!
Not a firefighter but as an outsider, I have to say, this rig is badass! Super clean and organized!
I never seen a rescue truck that big before. And the hallway thing in the back is unique
That "public relations" move by allowing the birthday party to climb aboard Rescue was priceless...a "win, win for everyone."
that guy you were talking about in the bulldozer was my uncle! thanks for the great work you did to get him out! you guys are awesome and amazing! thanks for your time and service to help my uncle!
Sorry for your loss
sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss
My condolences to you and your family 😢 🙏
Isacc is top notch in knowledge and just overall personality. We've hosted him a bunch of times for his Vehicle Extrication classes from here in Central PA. Great video.
He's a top shelf firefighter, no doubt. Thanks for watching!
@@WorkingFirePIO loved that PIO vlog for june
Awesome!! Come to Ohio!!!
@eriksantor9125 where ya at in PA? Central PA guy here as well
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2 what da hail
Firefighters and EMTs are this world’s living angels. Nothing but respect and admiration. My cousin is a firefighter here in Texas. Subscribed!
We are all gathered here to see the size of this W. Great to see you on RUclips now Eric, great first video!
Much appreciated!
As part of the Citizen Fire Academy, I did a 10 hour ride out with a different station and got to see just how dedicated and amazing these men and women are. So much respect for all of our first responders out there keeping us safe!
What’s a citizen fire academy what cities have them
@@wadeopaczewski8795no idea but you can do ride along on almost any department regardless.
After living there for ten years. It’s good to see that they are able to keep up with the tools and equipment that they need to do their jobs safely. Gods Speed and Blessings to you guys.
Eric fantastic work. I can't wait to see what's to come! Take care.
Look at that lip coat man, I trust him to absolutely demolish a fire
Legend has it that fires self extinguish in fear when they see it.
I love watching firefighters go be the best part of a bad situation and people like you I admire for taking the time to be there for the video and experience for us. Thank you
Thank you so very much for your service as a Firefighter and Rescue. Your hard work and dedication is outstanding. May God always keep you safe and healthy where ever you go
Love seeing these trucks! So cool to see how everything works and what variety of tools each department needs based on their locale! Be careful out there, you guys!
That Rescue 1 is rather impressive. Very well laid out and has given me many good ideas. Nice channel!
Amazing equipment and sooo compact!
Great video! As a former Sedgwick County 911 dispatcher, I appreciate all of it. I loved working "fire board" more than any other. I was there when we transitioned from the klaxon-style horn to the electronic style alert system.
So grateful for EMS and Firefighters as well as the Soldiers you guys are so underrated thank you for yor services risking yalls life for ours 🙏🏽
A wealth of knowledge. I love to chat with people like this on the various fds. I don't know nothing on this job until I've had a few conversations with people like this!!!
OMG! Currently doing ride-alongs with WFD and this is so awesome! Loved this video!
That intro is amazing! Also, this rescue has one of, if not the best setup that I have ever seen!
Thank you for your service in the fire service really appreciate it sir.
Eric this video was top notch. I absolutely love this style of content of all day ride alongs. Keep up the great work, nice to see you on your own channel!
Much appreciated, thank you!
And everyone thinks Kansas is just flat out farm fields lol.
Thanks Again Eric is for this experience 😊🙏🇺🇸
one of the best ride along and tour i've ever seen. Thank you!
Never knew how much equipment a firetruck holds, impressive
Thank You Sir for Explaining to Everyone what is on the Fire Truck.
This is GREAT!
Fantastic work! I’m looking forward to seeing your next videos!
As someone who can grow a mustache that is complimented by A TON of people, let me say, that mustache is perfect. 10/10 don't have to know anything else other than you're are truly the greatest FF of all time
Best of the best love you guys God bless thank you for your services
Isaac is the man! knows his stuff, and his classes are awesome! Can't recommend him enough! And its not just work, he makes it fun!
The fact that he just got done saying that when you get a structure fire it makes a special little ring and then it actually happened right away
😅
That is a really big engine. You sound very smart with your job
Thank you for all you do
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
So cool to see these videos for other departments!
0:02 _some might recognize him from his excellent mustache business_
These guys saved my ASS and MY VISION back in September. I love ALL of YOU. 🇺🇸🙏❤️🍻
Love the video can’t wait to see more of your amazing work
Man that bunk room is rough... waking everyone up no matter the call? Seems insane until you realize how much thought and effort SMFR puts into quality of life improvements that other departments... apparently just don't.
Not every department has the funding for such things. South Metro is extremely fortunate to have the ability to build elaborate stations and keep top of the line equipment
@@JollyGreenGiant94 As a taxpayer in SMFR's district, I'd never question the mill rate or vote against an increase on it (unlike some of the other rather mismanaged public agencies that want more money to waste every ballot).
Hell they probably realize that is a benefit of what Eric does for them. Showing the public the value in the department beyond the obvious.
Seriously it makes you proud driving by the stations and seeing the investment in the community. Giving them the funding they need just makes sense when you see how well they operate.
I was thinking the exact same. SMFR is well funded and has good stations, built for 48 hour shifts.
Nothing wrong with a rough and ready station though, old school.
@@some0ne8 Thank you for sharing your perspective on this! From a firefighter health and wellness perspective, sleep is vital to mental and physical optimization. SMFR is fortunate to have community members like you who support the organization and the people who serve.

24:27 I'm glad you mentioned this, the entire time during the Rescue 1 tour it seemed like it was just background chatter from dispatch. Guess it shows just how valuable the First-In system in for SMFR and the quality of life improvements it brings.
That is a glorious mustache
Congratulations Eric great start to what will be an awesome channel.
Great to see... In The Netherlands seems to be more "machines" customised to their job. Many stations with an own speciality. Not strange with so many fire-stations in a smaller area. Loved to see this truck, keep up doing the great job ! Love it 🙂
Alot of Dutch firefighters come over the US to fight fire with us for cross-training reasons. I know of one who's been with Detroit Fire Department going on a decade and has ridden with Squad and Engine Co's. He's caught many jobs in that time.
Excellent video! A good balance of efficient but thorough tour of the rescue, coupled with plenty of ride along footage.
Thank you!
Absolutely LOVED the views of you waking up to the nightly alarms. That’s what I must look like, too. Greetings from a German volunteer firefighter! 🤙🏼
A word didn't have to come out of that man's mouth. As soon as I saw his fantastic moustache; alright this man know's what he's doing, I've seen enough
Appreciate you using up your free time to shoot great videos! 👍👍
Good video ! On the job in Maine. Nothing beats starting your shift with hydrant shoveling ! It’s great!
I visited Maine in the Fall a few years ago and can imagine some very harsh winter conditions there!
What an awesome and outstanding department and video scenes of it as well, I would have never thought of this much action from Wichita I expected to see a video like this from New York City or Chicago LA Houston or some other major city but now much respect to Wichita which will be on my list of departments to watch on the tube that truly is major urban city and fire department , Also great looking trucks and staff units as well.. Thanks for sharing this.. Tony j. from Indiana 🙌🏼👍👏🏼🔥🚨🚒
Thank you for doing this eric
The happy look on the little boy when he got out of the rescue was awsome
Ü⁰😂🎉🎉🎉
Nice work Eric from Jacksonville FL
Great job work in Wichita
On top of an excellent training business - he also has one Excellent Mo! lol - Good work on the video Eric - can't wait to see more
Really enjoyed this as Wichita was where I started my service career. Born and raised in Wichita. A great department.
Amazing video! I just loved the content! Can’t wait to see more from you outside of south metro!
Much appreciated, thanks!
This is fantastic Eric. Looking forward to the rest of your videos!!
Thank you, more to come!
Super interesting for me as a becoming volunteer firefighter from Germany, many things and equipment are familiar but here we have different vehicles for divers, heavy duty rescue and firefighting. Also our trucks are smaller but in the US everything is bigger, even the rescue 1 guy is a unit. Stay safe guys. Great stuff and awesome video.
Thanks for sharing!
@@WorkingFirePIO no problem, we are all brothers in fire hoses! xD
Fantastic Work Eric! can't wait to see more of your video's!
Thank you!
Great vlog. That Dept 🚒 really has things together
Great video, congratulations on your new channel, I will be following your exploits!👍🏽🇺🇸

Lovin that Lazy Susan!! That's badass!! Great idea!!
That was a Nice thing to do for the kids to go on the Rescue #1
Hell yeah can’t wait to watch this channel grow. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Absolutely mind blowing how much gear and equipment that truck carries.
Dude that is awesome. Glad the algorithm brought you by! Looking forward to more man !!
Thanks!
enjoyed it and looking forward to more
My dad was a retired ff in Wichita. After he passed I got his badge tattooed on my right shoulder so he is still looking out for me! He's got my back permanently now lol
Wow that's a really cool tattoo idea!
The rescue is top notch, and I’ve seen a few in my years. Not having met the firefighter, he definitely seems top shelf. I’m filing “nick nacky” as an official technical term…love it.
More of this , this could be the start of an epic series , this could really start something here eric! 🔥
Thanks! 🤘
Great work Eric! Love the content. Best pio around.
Thank you so much!

Very impressive. Your County is well protected.

Stunning!!!
Thanks for introducing the fire station! I love the view on fire station. It looks better than our country.
Eric this is awesome! Keep these up please.
Thank you!
Good luck with your channel Eric. Regards from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Excellent channel!!!
Rescue apparatus is my favorite man. Such capabilities
“We run a 28 footer, because all the engine companies run a 24” 😂😂😂😂 everything bigger and better than the engine companies
Damn right! #NoHoseNation
Hello from Hays, Ks, biggest thing on I-70 between Salina, Ks, and Denver, Co. We have a fair sized department with 7 guys on each shift, 24 on, 48 off, of those on duty, an Engine and ladder are staffed, Command (Captain [Shift Commander]), and a guy staffing a crash truck at the Airport. Our Department has 3 engines, 2 ladders (Quints), 2 ARFF, and 3 utilities. We are also Technical Rescue Certified, cross trained with county volunteers. Years ago when my father was still on, we had Hazmat, but have since discontinued large scale operations regarding Hazmat. A Third station is being constructed to improve ISO, but have no plans to up staffing to my knowledge at this time. Current plan is to just split trucks between I believe. All Firefighters with Hays are ARFF certified. Great Video, I enjoy your SMFR videos as well. Great Job!
Hi
😂
I've driven through Hays many times and slept there once or twice. I haven't visited a firehouse there yet but this information is great!
That, is a moustache that commands respect. I tip my hat to you sir! 😃
wow this is amazing
Had no idea you had your own channel. This is awesome and I subscribed the minute I saw this video was suggested!
Thank you so much!
Nice one Eric!👍
God bless our first responders.
Just found you man Love the content logged in to make sure I subscribed
Worked with Issac in St. John’s County Fla. Very nice rig and equipment.
Good looking rigs.
Awesome video its better than TV stay safe
Specially like that fire truck rescue with the black wheels 🛞 and the black and red colour on it with the yellow stripes 🥰🥰🥰
