I know some people view this as a slow response, if you listen at the beginning of the video to the dispatch tones, no station 1 units are on the response, it’s not until around 1:24 that you hear a firefighter use the station PA to let everyone know the call is down the street from the station (may have been the initial location reported being incorrect). You can also hear the dispatch tones at the end of the video (right after truck 1 leaves) finally say ‘engine 1, 201, truck 1’ so in reality these firefighters were responding before the tones ever came in.
At Las Vegas Fire and Rescue Station 1 there are 2 Engine Companies (Engine 1 and Engine 201, Truck 1, Battalion Chief, and Three Rescue Units (Rescue 1, Rescue 201, and Rescue 301) Station 1 covers the downtown and Freemont Street area of the city. Next to Station 10 they are the busiest and largest station in the City. This is as close as it gets to a full station response. Engine 1 is the Snozle.
WOW, from 2012 !!! Hope they get their response time better. I saw lots of comments about that. I was on for a while and even our volunteer Dept. got out in less then 30 seconds
Oh yess they do! I did a ride along last Friday in three different Pierce. One of them a brand new model. such a great truck! (Henderson city, Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Clark County) has them. Not sure about Boulder City...I know Pahrump has different ones.
@ not sure now but they used to. Also check their citizens academy that was a Great Way to be involved get to tour the 911 center station 1 and see all operations and do a few hours of a shift with them.
The call was a building fire with BC3 BC4 BC1 E1 T1 E201 And the lighting shut off was part of their Alerting system.. if yall heard the tones drop again the lights came on for another call
In the beginning of incident, you see the BC pull out and wait. My opinion is he/she was reading the address and also wondered why Station 1 was not on tge original dispatch. In some departments Medic and BC tones are different, so that you don't awake the entire station if they are not responding.
at my volunteer house we are out the door in less then 45 seconds for most ems calls and anything fire related (especially fires) we are gone less then 25 to 30, we all sprint to the truck when we got 3 we roll no waiting
You partly correct by writing full turn out. For this station this is a regular turn out for a fire call. The Rescue (Ambulances) do not always go on fire calls. especially since this station now has 3 Rescue Co.'s. I do not know how many and what types of apparatus respond to a first alarm fire call in the Las Vegas Valley. I live in Minnesota.
Well, the clark county FD is huge from the main "Strip" las vegas area to the far side of the border with cali, and the Mountain at Mt Charleston. In Vegas area there are the CCFD, The Las vegas Fire D, The Henderson Fire D, The Boulder City fire, and the North Las Vegas Fire D. You should check their web they have all the stations and stats...:) thanks and questions are always welcome sorry for taking long just been hectic.
Those have got to be the slowest garage door opening I’ve ever seen. I did read the captions about not being dispatched at the first part of the picture but check the time between the battalion chief leaving and the first engine.
They deserve alot of credit let's stop and honor and appreciate the paramedics and firemen and police who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock great job great team work and good catches as usual still going strong great looking tower very impressed stay safe and warm out there !! Joe ❤❤😂😅
It is a massive 2 story station. BC was gone in 40 seconds after the tones went off. E1 was out at 2:10 seconds. This is after the guys ran out of the dorms, slid down the poles and turned out. Tell me again how they are slow????
I mean what is that unit behind the 4th garage from where the camera is; if that unit didn't respond which it seems it didn't, then that means it's not a full turnout
@RayRay2290TX actually they have many calls and they keep 3 rescue ambulances at that time. Keep in mind that is the central station for that department
we send an engine, tower and heavy rescue to fires in our 1st due district, for a vol. company we have about a 2:30 turnout from when the 1st alert comes through to when the house siren winds down, at that time the frontline engine is already out the door and the tower following it
pretty much all las vegas fire and clark county fire, and henderson fire and maybe north las vegas fire have all Pierce quantum rigs. pretty cool i love them:)
When the lights go out on you from the time you were rung down, that means your way too slow.... Chute time not too good, especially for a reported fire.
+Joseph Durrenberger remember. callouts usually interrupt showers, bathroom breaks, and naps. it takes some time to get out of the shower and get your stuff on!!!
I don't know... I been at that house a couple of times and the lights will stay on... maybe at certain time they go on a timer...? good question. But it made a good effect, Ill try to go back there at night again. thanks!
My station as well, we have 7 minutes to get a truck on the road as we get paged aswell yet we are generally out with in 3 minutes as we live close to the station,
we in austria have to arrive on the szene and put first measures in less than 10 minutes after the call. Normally it takes 3 minutes after the call and our first truck is on the way to the szene. how long it takes us between response and arrival at the szene depends on where the szene is located. sorry for my bad english i´m austrian
Mrx122ful my city is out the door in less than 90 seconds from the time of dispatch to the time they’re out the door. Very aggressive fire attack and quick response time to scenes.
They're all in the Las Vegas AREA, though! Henderson and North Las Vegas are their own cities, and Clark county covers Laughlin which also is its own town.
I will update that this like the title says is a structure fire turnout. The only rigs that didn't respond we're 2 rescues one on the video side next to BC and the other one opposite the tower bay. The subsequent video shows 2 additional fire engines responding that we're out already. If you guys have detail true information share it and I'll post it.
How does this Fire Department differ from the Clark County Fire dept? Forgive my lack of knowledge, here in Hawaii, each island (almost), has a completely separate FD.
yeah there are a few st that have them. It is still an engine for them, i see your point of view but they don't count it as a tower and i believe i only saw the henderson FD with a quint at their station of lake las vegas.
We do the same thing (I don't, I go to the firehouse) and my previous statement stands...Think about it, you drive directly to the fire (assuming you guys know where to go) you still have to get into turnouts, go to the firetruck that you HOPE beat you to the fire...what if they didn't? You can only do a 360 and prepare a report for the IC, and wait for your SCBA and tools on the truck. So truck is there now you have to get into SCBA and mask, grab tools pull hose...You can't say that your
Hi, not green. As far as I know it been red with a gold stripe and golden dice for quite a while. Though I be seen old pics of some white rigs... Thanks for watching!
yeah i know,, i get a ton of comments about it...but in a not the video during the day u see that they don't take long at all and is another fire call. Yes all of the city of las vegas, north las vegas, henderson, and county use Pierce Q exclusively... The rescues are either international or frieghtliner chassis. I love it! thanks for watching!
after they left there were 2 rescues. One on the same side of the video, and the other one opposite from the tower ladder. They rescues had just arrived when they left.
Sounds like they are using Locution for computer aided dispatch. We have it here in my home town too. I like hearing the voice come in over the scanner.
Unless you work where i do. We have walk away SCBA's in out seats. Were usually out the station after initial dispatch in 50 seconds or less. Most of the time we usually save time by putting our jackets on while en-route.
Just saying, Stations one through ten are city of Las Vegas, Stations eleven through thirty eight is Clark County Fire Department, Stations forty one through forty seven are also Las Vegas, stations fifty through fifty seven are North Las Vegas, Stations 60 through 89 is also Clark County, and stations 80 through 99 is Henderson.
Agree with everyone on the slow response, however a couple of things to keep in mind. These are probably not the only or closest engines responding to this call and this is probably the 20th or 30th call this station has had for the shift. i have been to this station and it is sick how many calls they get. The fact this many apparatus were in the station at the same time is amazing. But I still agree... pretty slow time out.
Hmmm... Those Piece rigs look amazing. I live in the near by valley (Pahrump). I still love going to Vegas to see these rigs. However, we got some nice rigs out here in Pahrump. :)
yeah..i know. you should! but not all the FD in vegas have them though...but some of the high officers are form the east coast in that dept. I'm sure that helped...
well in the entire nation i dont know. This video in particular is LVFire but at least in Las Vegas and the surrounding towns or the valley, yes the CCFD is the biggest.
Guten Tag -warum sind die Türen der Feuerwehr -Autos immer geschlossen? Wenn die Autos frische Luft erhalten -dient das doch auch der Lunge mit ihrer Atmung für den Feuerwehrmann!
What is the first truck out of this house called.I have heard it called squirt,bionic arm and a few other things.Can you tell what the name of the first truck is?
No, i cant anyway, the walk away SCBAs in the seats are impossible to put on while wearing a seatbelt. Usually dressed quite quick so i can put my seat belt on. And i didnt mean acyually putting on my jacket, i meant zipping and cliping it.
Thanks for the reply. I like the tower and the snorkel/snozzle. Interesting that the FD decided on a piece like that. You figure they'd just throw a regular ladder or another tower on it. I assume that apparatus is an Engine? Does it count as a "quint" if it has a snozzle instead of a stick? haha
As an ex fire fighter, for all those who are complaining about the response time, let me just point out that its obviously a night shift, and id say late due to the lack of traffic on the road, and so these men were probably trying to catch up on some sleep at the time of the call!!! But hey, you think you can do better? Do the training and sign up!! But its not a job for every one!!
You know after your message i saw Ladder 48 of LVFR has a tiller. I saw them last friday around their depo. But a BC told me that they will be gone soon. I like them better..
In what way was that slow? Do you want them to work, eat and sleep inside their trucks? In our vol. dept. in Belgium, it even takes up to 6 minutes before the first FFs arrive at the house. Then they have to put on their gear and wait till the engine is staffed as it should be. It can take up to 8 to 10 minutes before the first engine leaves the house. So I can't see any problem with three minutes.

+davebutcher2011 Also of recent I have heard and sceene Rescue 401 to the list of rigs that respond out of the downtown station.
o
What does snozle have to do with anything ?
So 2:07 wasted f-King around before one truck rolls while a structure burns. Time is everything.
WOW, from 2012 !!! Hope they get their response time better. I saw lots of comments about that. I was on for a while and even our volunteer Dept. got out in less then 30 seconds
I love the sound if the engines roaring when they pull out.
The old quantums made the best engine sound!
Ei0
Oh yess they do! I did a ride along last Friday in three different Pierce. One of them a brand new model. such a great truck! (Henderson city, Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Clark County) has them. Not sure about Boulder City...I know Pahrump has different ones.
Does Las Vegas fire do ride alongs
@ not sure now but they used to. Also check their citizens academy that was a Great Way to be involved get to tour the 911 center station 1 and see all operations and do a few hours of a shift with them.
Even the garage doors are slow! haha
The call was a building fire with BC3 BC4 BC1 E1 T1 E201 And the lighting shut off was part of their Alerting system.. if yall heard the tones drop again the lights came on for another call

I still think blue lights don't belong on a fire engine....
at my volunteer house we are out the door in less then 45 seconds for most ems calls and anything fire related (especially fires) we are gone less then 25 to 30, we all sprint to the truck when we got 3 we roll no waiting

I do not know how many and what types of apparatus respond to a first alarm fire call in the Las Vegas Valley. I live in Minnesota.
I believe it's 2 engines, a truck, a rescue, and a battalion chief per alarm
I could see a slower than usual response for an alarm activation, but 2 minutes to get out the door seems excessive for a house fire...
That gap between the building and third door from the left bothers me. I dont know why... it just does
what the heck
bunny man you see that light shining through? The door is not sealing correctly and will cause an air leak for heating/cooling.
William Sparks Jr.
ok, I understand now....yeah, I could see how that could bother someone

Well, the clark county FD is huge from the main "Strip" las vegas area to the far side of the border with cali, and the Mountain at Mt Charleston. In Vegas area there are the CCFD, The Las vegas Fire D, The Henderson Fire D, The Boulder City fire, and the North Las Vegas Fire D. You should check their web they have all the stations and stats...:) thanks and questions are always welcome sorry for taking long just been hectic.
Love the engine sound on Engine 1.
I love how they have the flag on the back of their trucks. Also the trucks are amazing.
that was a slow reposing time
2 minutes ? You stupid
@@be5575 2:07 are you stupid!! The bay doors closed faster than they opened.
Nop
Those have got to be the slowest garage door opening I’ve ever seen. I did read the captions about not being dispatched at the first part of the picture but check the time between the battalion chief leaving and the first engine.
Could those garage doors open any slower?
The response is kinda slow for a building fire.
Love those flags on the backs
Very nice rigs. Might want to think about some faster opening bay doors...
They deserve alot of credit let's stop and honor and appreciate the paramedics and firemen and police who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock great job great team work and good catches as usual still going strong great looking tower very impressed stay safe and warm out there !!

I mean what is that unit behind the 4th garage from where the camera is; if that unit didn't respond which it seems it didn't, then that means it's not a full turnout
Looks like a backup ambulance. Could be there just in case it's needed.
@RayRay2290TX actually they have many calls and they keep 3 rescue ambulances at that time. Keep in mind that is the central station for that department
we send an engine, tower and heavy rescue to fires in our 1st due district, for a vol. company we have about a 2:30 turnout from when the 1st alert comes through to when the house siren winds down, at that time the frontline engine is already out the door and the tower following it
Wow the sound of then V8s . Do they send mass turn outs in the uk
Bet they were just headed to the local donut shop!
pretty much all las vegas fire and clark county fire, and henderson fire and maybe north las vegas fire have all Pierce quantum rigs. pretty cool i love them:)
When the lights go out on you from the time you were rung down, that means your way too slow.... Chute time not too good, especially for a reported fire.
+Joseph Durrenberger Was thinking the same thing. When the chief is the first one out the door and responding... your hall has problems.
+Joseph Durrenberger remember. callouts usually interrupt showers, bathroom breaks, and naps. it takes some time to get out of the shower and get your stuff on!!!
J Beaverhausen its often quite normal for the chief to leave the station first.
Joseph Durrenberger .
steve mclaughlin the response time was god awful... not sure what you're going off about..
Chicago fire department, 4 trucks and ambulance, chief ,out in 1:30
why so slow the fire department where I live has to be out of the door in one minute per their S.O.P.s or they get in trouble
I don't know... I been at that house a couple of times and the lights will stay on... maybe at certain time they go on a timer...? good question. But it made a good effect, Ill try to go back there at night again. thanks!
Bit slow for a wholetime. My retained station at night can be paged, dressed and assembled and out the shed in around the same time.
My station as well, we have 7 minutes to get a truck on the road as we get paged aswell yet we are generally out with in 3 minutes as we live close to the station,
we in austria have to arrive on the szene and put first measures in less than 10 minutes after the call. Normally it takes 3 minutes after the call and our first truck is on the way to the szene. how long it takes us between response and arrival at the szene depends on where the szene is located.
sorry for my bad english i´m austrian
okay?
***** yeah me too because I'm in a vounteer fd.
Mrx122ful my city is out the door in less than 90 seconds from the time of dispatch to the time they’re out the door. Very aggressive fire attack and quick response time to scenes.
about 18 fire stations. of the city of las vegas fire and rescue, then county has way more and north las vegas and henderson, and boulder city...
They're all in the Las Vegas AREA, though!
Henderson and North Las Vegas are their own cities, and Clark county covers Laughlin which also is its own town.
I will update that this like the title says is a structure fire turnout. The only rigs that didn't respond we're 2 rescues one on the video side next to BC and the other one opposite the tower bay. The subsequent video shows 2 additional fire engines responding that we're out already. If you guys have detail true information share it and I'll post it.
Cool catch! :D
it was sheer luck really.
How does this Fire Department differ from the Clark County Fire dept? Forgive my lack of knowledge, here in Hawaii, each island (almost), has a completely separate FD.
We'll get there when we get there...
I meant from time of call. Trucks should be out in under 2 minutes from first 'bells'. Most of the stations I have visited have the same requirement.
yeah there are a few st that have them. It is still an engine for them, i see your point of view but they don't count it as a tower and i believe i only saw the henderson FD with a quint at their station of lake las vegas.
Awesome video, can I use some of the audio for a stop motion video? I can credit your channel 👍
We do the same thing (I don't, I go to the firehouse) and my previous statement stands...Think about it, you drive directly to the fire (assuming you guys know where to go) you still have to get into turnouts, go to the firetruck that you HOPE beat you to the fire...what if they didn't?

They sound and look smooth.
Hi, not green. As far as I know it been red with a gold stripe and golden dice for quite a while. Though I be seen old pics of some white rigs... Thanks for watching!
yeah i know,, i get a ton of comments about it...but in a not the video during the day u see that they don't take long at all and is another fire call. Yes all of the city of las vegas, north las vegas, henderson, and county use Pierce Q exclusively... The rescues are either international or frieghtliner chassis. I love it! thanks for watching!
yeah... i did corrected in a comment box previous... it was my bad, the rescues stayed at the station for this one.
after they left there were 2 rescues. One on the same side of the video, and the other one opposite from the tower ladder. They rescues had just arrived when they left.
Sounds like they are using Locution for computer aided dispatch. We have it here in my home town too. I like hearing the voice come in over the scanner.
have to admit though the automatic steps are pretty badass
They have a really nice firehouse and good equipment. They do need faster garage door openers though....
not the Q, the one near/on top of the fire station (example; here in Urbana, IL there is a tornado siren next to the fire station)
over 2 minutes for a turnout?
Unless you work where i do. We have walk away SCBA's in out seats. Were usually out the station after initial dispatch in 50 seconds or less. Most of the time we usually save time by putting our jackets on while en-route.
Just saying, Stations one through ten are city of Las Vegas, Stations eleven through thirty eight is Clark County Fire Department, Stations forty one through forty seven are also Las Vegas, stations fifty through fifty seven are North Las Vegas, Stations 60 through 89 is also Clark County, and stations 80 through 99 is Henderson.
about 2 minuets too slow on the turnout. hope for the building owners sake it was a false alarm
yes i corrected it in a comment...the 2 rescues were still there...my bad.
Agree with everyone on the slow response, however a couple of things to keep in mind. These are probably not the only or closest engines responding to this call and this is probably the 20th or 30th call this station has had for the shift. i have been to this station and it is sick how many calls they get. The fact this many apparatus were in the station at the same time is amazing. But I still agree... pretty slow time out.
Your right, so don't assume response procedures and time frames are universal.
Rather slow response time.
My department is all volunteer also...and it takes us longer than that to stop what we're doing and GET TO the firehouse...so how do you guys do it?
why did the lights go from being on to going off and back to on again?
Hmmm... Those Piece rigs look amazing. I live in the near by valley (Pahrump). I still love going to Vegas to see these rigs. However, we got some nice rigs out here in Pahrump. :)
great catch, LVFR has got nice trucks!
yeah..i know. you should! but not all the FD in vegas have them though...but some of the high officers are form the east coast in that dept. I'm sure that helped...
Is it LVFR or Clark.County that has the biggest ladder truck in America. ? Is it still in service saw a picture of it once had tiller am I correct ?
well in the entire nation i dont know. This video in particular is LVFire but at least in Las Vegas and the surrounding towns or the valley, yes the CCFD is the biggest.
On scene in three minutes? more like out of the station in three minutes! xD
Breh
Josh
Maybe the station was on fire
no i live in Fairfield CT but i was just wondering if u lived there
Brilliant video ;). Nice big turnout.
thanks and yes got to loveee those Pierce's Q
did you think that maybe they were just mutual aid.... or that the last truck out was called 2 mins later?
So the now famous 48/86, California I assume as they appear to be readjusting the Kelly.
lol i know! check the other fire response video from inside the bay:) thanks
Guten Tag -warum sind die Türen der Feuerwehr -Autos immer geschlossen? Wenn die Autos frische Luft erhalten -dient das doch auch der Lunge mit ihrer Atmung für den Feuerwehrmann!
What is the first truck out of this house called.I have heard it called squirt,bionic arm and a few other things.Can you tell what the name of the first truck is?
Please try to get some more of this Station
No, i cant anyway, the walk away SCBAs in the seats are impossible to put on while wearing a seatbelt. Usually dressed quite quick so i can put my seat belt on. And i didnt mean acyually putting on my jacket, i meant zipping and cliping it.
thanks! which ones you guys have?
No kidding! I'd be a helluva lot quicker if I knew a structure fire was waiting for me.
Do they know that a building is on fire? They're slow as...well, imagine!
I've never seen such a slow response to an emergency b4... talk about laid back
they actually called an engine. It has that squirt extension. called "tele-squirt"
I'll put a video response up, you can see the tiller in quarters.
So... just happened to be standing next to the fire house with a camera rolling when that alarm was raised???
no. i was waiting for a friend across the street and the bells went off. i was lucky i guess.
people do it all the time...
mmm there was 2 engines a battalion chief, a truck and 3 rescues...2 on the video side and another one facing the back alley.
Damn, they sure do like the Pierce Quantum chassis
Thanks for the reply. I like the tower and the snorkel/snozzle. Interesting that the FD decided on a piece like that. You figure they'd just throw a regular ladder or another tower on it. I assume that apparatus is an Engine? Does it count as a "quint" if it has a snozzle instead of a stick? haha
A quint is a pumper with a ladder , a snozzle is a engine with a hose boom stick , a snorkel is a bucket truck with no ladder
yes Pierce Quantum. not sure of other classification... they are sweet rides!
will do, check out my other videos from the some of the other departments. thanks
I assume that first apparatus was a Quad or a Quint? Thats cool that Las Vegas uses snozzels.
Get a tripod! Nobody seems in a hurry...
Is that all pierce quantums rigs or not
As an ex fire fighter, for all those who are complaining about the response time, let me just point out that its obviously a night shift, and id say late due to the lack of traffic on the road, and so these men were probably trying to catch up on some sleep at the time of the call!!!
But hey, you think you can do better? Do the training and sign up!! But its not a job for every one!!
Wow those doors are slow to open
You know after your message i saw Ladder 48 of LVFR has a tiller. I saw them last friday around their depo. But a BC told me that they will be gone soon. I like them better..
In what way was that slow? Do you want them to work, eat and sleep inside their trucks? In our vol. dept. in Belgium, it even takes up to 6 minutes before the first FFs arrive at the house. Then they have to put on their gear and wait till the engine is staffed as it should be. It can take up to 8 to 10 minutes before the first engine leaves the house. So I can't see any problem with three minutes.
what kind of siren is on the 2nd truck
The siren you heard on the 2nd Engine and on the Ladder Truck is called the Federal Q.
what was the yelp
zachary phillips You heard three sirens on the second rig: Wail, Yelp, and the Federal Q.
was it code 3 or what just asking
zachary phillips Not code3 most likely fedsig i think the pa300
Hello las Vegas City fire dept pumper, ladder,engine and balliton chief and sirens loud fire in las Vegas ronny .
Nice video ! 👍👍👍
