Impel® Pumper - St. Petersburg Fire Rescue, FL

- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Take a walk around one of St. Petersburg, Florida's three Impel® Pumpers with Fire Lieutenant Todd Gordon as he explains the features of this clean cab design apparatus. The interior surfaces of the cab are smooth to help in keeping the cab clean. Carbon filters in the HVAC system and Command Zone™ programmed to tell the department when service is needed help keep the air clean. The extended cab storage is designed for a locker that allows four firefighters to get dressed at the same time and with drop down SCBA bottle storage to keep dirty gear out of the cab. The shortened wheelbase of the apparatus also allows for increased maneuverability on their alleyways and downtown areas. Having increased compartment space around the apparatus allows them to maintain a clean cab design and hold extra equipment.

Pierce is always coming up with great new ideas, and solutions to keep our Firefighters as safe as possible.
I like this. Innovation and customized to boot.
Awesome truck... love the interior and the locker.
Anyone who says that they're an aggressive department and delays a fire attack by minutes with a clean cab is lying.
I disagree. Over a career's lifetime, not having those carcinogens living in your cab 24/7 and infinitely stacking upon each other means that a firefighter has a better chance of physically being able to still do the job. You can't take care of other people if you don't take care of yourself first.
@@mike6340 I agree....... You can be trained to get your gear on fast. My aerial has a clean cab as well and I KNOW how fast my guys can get dressed out.
You are basically saving a minute in the station and adding a minute on the scene
Some people resist change. That's quite the norm in the Northeast.
Something to think about.
From the article (on survivability profiling) posted below: "With national average response times of four to six minutes-in some instances, when there are civilians trapped-we may have only an additional two to four minutes to search, locate, remove, and revive them."
Add to that the additional ~1 minute you lose with this clean cab shenanigans, and you dramatically cut down your search time. There is such a thing as going overboard with "safety."

yes cant wait to photograph the new rigs
Very nice
Sweet ride.
Why a single stage and dual stage order? Demographics? Maintenance? Just curious
clean cabs dont make grabsssss
Engine 13 needs a new rig, do you have ladders like that? Cause tower 9 and 13 need a new rig
Rich cities going with all the options lol
When will FDNY ride in such comfort?
FDNY engines are built as working machines...Not comfort.
@@joemoore8054 So, is this why KME was selected? For their tenacity, their sturdiness, and all around dependability?
@@owensweetland342 LOL...KME "Keep Mechanics Employed" all new FDNY engines, tillers, scopes will be Seagrave because KME is junk.
@@joemoore8054 You can still be comfortable and still have a working machine. It all depends on the crew Joe.
@@joemoore8054 Seagraves aren't too much better. Of course you guys drive your rigs up there in New York until the damn wheels fall off.
What Petersburg? It's america or russia lol?
america
