      @@pipesmoker4238 I get what you're saying, but the more time you have to spend turning around in the middle of the road disrupting the flow of traffic, the more dangerous it becomes. Making one swing in a few seconds and being on your way is much safer for your crew and everybody around you.

    Time to either modify/move the station or get the far shoulder of the road widened so the trucks can get out of the station easier. Great video and nice looking trucks.

    • @LowHudEmergency
      @LowHudEmergency  7 лет назад +7

      Thanks! Modifying the station or moving it would probably be too expensive. And there isn't too much space to widen the road, only a few feet and then there are railroad tracks. The problem is the way the station was built on that slight angle, it makes it really hard for the trucks to make that turn.

      We moved out of tight quarters of a station before I was even a member at my department. With updated apparatus and the needs changing we couldn't fit in the old station. Now our firehouse is out of an old warehouse building and we have probably one of the biggest/roomiest squad bays around. A lot of the city volunteer stations around here aren't so fortunate and literally have to spec each truck to the bay size. They've had temporary trucks due to serious repair needed that are small so they can fit it inside but not able to fit all the equipment adequately. Needless to say, old warehouses make excellent firehouses. You have office space, lounge area, radio room, and we even have a commercial kitchen/hall that we rent out. Actually all of our training in the squad bay we do, we almost never have to pull the trucks out

    They should have cops stationed around every firehouse. When trucks have their lights on or worse their sirens at the foot of their driveway and people do not know how to stop to let them out and then possibly in their way and don’t know to pull over for emergency vehicles.

    Never seen Orange lights on a fire engine before. And it's unusual to have blue ones on the rear too. Also I believe motorists who fail to yield to emergency vehicles should receive a ban, a fine and a good kicking.

    • @LowHudEmergency
      @LowHudEmergency  7 лет назад +2

      Orange lights, usually referred to as "amber" are pretty common. Most fire apparatus has at least an amber traffic bar on the back. And rear-facing blue lights are becoming increasingly pretty popular too, at least around here. Thanks for watching!

      @LowHudEmergency  6 лет назад +1

      It just wouldn't be practical. Aside from getting out of the firehouse, most of the streets in their district are navigable with the tower and having a tiller requires a second driver which can be difficult for a lot of these departments who are pressed for manpower. Thanks for watching!

      Its a 100% volunteer department. I happen to think they were out the door pretty quick; I think it was under 4 minutes from the time the tones went out until the engine hit the road. And besides, everybody has good and bad days. Its great that you guys can consistently get out quickly, but I'm sure you have days where that's not the case. Not to mention you only have one video to judge this department off of. There's no reason to be so negative.

    • @LowHudEmergency

      Sutphen makes all different kinds of fire apparatus, but they are definitely known for their tower ladders. I'd consider Rescue 75 to be a rescue pumper. It has a full sized pump, 500 gallon water tank, and a decent amount of hose. Wet rescues generally have small pumps, carry very little water, and very little hose.

      Ever heard the phrase, Slow is smooth, Smooth is fast? Its not about zero urgency, its about restrained urgency. Firefighters would love literally nothing more than to run to their trucks and go screaming down the road full tilt, and many have done so....right into an early grave. Fact of the matter is rushing causes more accidents and deaths than stopping to think for 5 seconds does. This department did everything right here and if you don't believe me, go watch some videos of the FDNY. One of the best in the nation and they average a 2 minute response from time of call to leaving the house. They walk to their rigs too.

      Terms like "squad" often have different meanings in different places. I would consider Rescue 75 to be a rescue-engine. It carries rescue equipment but also has a pump and a water tank. It probably carries extremely limited HazMat equipment, but nothing to the extent the FDNY Squad companies carry.

      I really don't understand why everybody thinks this is so long. Roughly four minutes to get the first engine out is actually pretty quick. Its an all-volunteer department; they have to wait for people to respond from home or work or wherever they may be when the call goes out.

      LowHudEmergency what you just said touched me and now I agree because the ladder truck and the engine had to go out and then back up and then go out again so I’m sorry

      H.E.L.P. truck - roadside safety and maintenance vehicles that patrol the highways around here. They assist with disabled motorists and accidents. Not related to the call. Thanks for watching!

    What's the hurry, it's not your house burning, over 2 minutes for the 1st truck to leave the hall, pretty lackadaisical.

    • @LowHudEmergency
      @LowHudEmergency  7 лет назад +5

      Its a volunteer department, the firehouse isn't always staffed. There happened to be a handful of guys there because they were assembling to attend a drill with some neighboring departments, but often times there is no one there. So they were actually out much faster than average.

    • @chucklewis9217

      In our town there were 3 trucks, and one fireman always on site. He'd take the emergency call, crank the town siren, and head out right away with the first truck. All of the men kept their turnout gear in the trunks of their car; unless they were driving one of the other two trucks, they'd head straight to the incident. (Unless the station was on the way to the fire; then they'd hop on the truck if it hadn't left yet. If it had left, they'd continue on to the fire.)

    • @LowHudEmergency
      @LowHudEmergency  6 лет назад +1

      I have to disagree, its a 100% volunteer department and that first engine was out within around three minutes of the tones. Thanks for watching!

    • @kalebwren4631
      @kalebwren4631 6 лет назад

      LowHudEmergency ok I sure alright but, Hershey Pennsylvania volunteers (100% volunteers) they are moving with urgency and out the door in the same time a city fire department would be (keep in mind the are also in the middle of no where AND they also have to compete with tourists traffic soooo with that being said...this response time TO A STRUCTURE FIRE is very poor

    • @LowHudEmergency
      @LowHudEmergency  6 лет назад +1

      Well to have the same response time as a career department, I would assume they always have manpower at the firehouse, which is not the case in most of the volunteer departments around here. Now in this particular video, I will admit that some members were at the firehouse when the call came in preparing to attend a drill, but they still had to wait for additional manpower to arrive. They will usually wait until they have a full crew before responding (to a reasonable extent), especially for a potential structure fire. Different places operate differently, and for most of the smaller volunteer departments around here, waiting four or five minutes before rolling a piece of apparatus is not uncommon.

    • @kalebwren4631
      @kalebwren4631 6 лет назад +1

      LowHudEmergency ok fair enough, I didn’t take in consideration the manpower aspect and that is a good point so with that said I retract my harsh statement and extend my apology. STILL very nice looking trucks btw, I couldn’t decide between these colors or my departments 👌🏽

      I don't understand why everyone thinks this is so slow. Its a volunteer department, they have to wait for people to get to the firehouse before they respond.

  • @718mcnei

    I don't und the need for US trucks that are so big (except ariel ladder). Europe seems to be able to use fast nimble trucks without issue, carry a crew of five inside.

    • @LowHudEmergency
      @LowHudEmergency  6 лет назад

      I've only ever worked with American fire apparatus and I can only speak from my experiences, but the larger apparatus seems to hold a lot more equipment, and particularly water, both of which are very important in manpower-strained rural fire departments, which unfortunately have become the majority of volunteer fire departments in the U.S. Also, it seems as though the cabs themselves are larger than European apparatus making them more comfortable and easier to put gear on while in route to an emergency. And outside of the older, larger cities, most of the country doesn't deal with the really narrow roads that a lot of Europe has to deal with. This video is a poor example because the firehouse was built at a bad angle, but for the most part, the apparatus doesn't struggle to navigate most of the roads around here.
