We are the "Ralpho Fire Co #1" Since we are in a little village called Overlook, many just say "Overlook Fire Company " But we have a Shamokin Address...confused yet? Lol Primarily we serve Ralpho Township but mutual aid to Shamokin, Shamokin Twp, Coal Twp and beyond
@@ammardardari2314 and say, you need an aerial and water, who manns aerial and who pump? And how much firefighters are left for "actual work". Or do some personell come in their own vehicles, and thus, the cab capacity is not a limiting factor? Another question: say the quint is already on hydrant and pumping, how do you relocate the aerial if the need arises?
@@solarissv777 it all depends on the task on hand. There are 2 main types of apparatus’s for fire ground operation. The engine company (fire attack) and the truck company (VEIS) Depending how departments operate they may assign a different tasks to those companies. Your engineer or (driver) would be the pump operator or the arial operator. Some volunteer departments may do things differently but most commonly this is the job of the engineer. If the “quint” is first on the scene. There primary task is A. Are there any lives at stake? B. If no for A, then the objective is putting wet stuff on the red stuff. The primary positioning for an Arial 99% of the time is directly in front of the structure involved. Once the arial is set in place, there is no moving it unless there’s a life safety concern. I hope I was able to answer all your questions.
Thanks for highlighting the Marine. I wish more companies recognized their military.
I love how they primarily run the Truck Company, that Aerial is beautiful!
There will be a station rigs coming out soon of the Ladder with some great shots Mike and RJ did! Stay tuned
As always awesome video. Nice to see the public getting inside view of the greatest job in the world.
the male and female hose connections on the restrooms were a pretty unique touch
Glad you caught it!

Really loving the look of the old side of the station. Please don't modernize it too much.
You forgot to mention the fire siren they have.

Cool. The QR code on the roof of your truck lol How many will see that?
There are codes on both sides and rear. That one normally is on the door 😎
So is it The Overlook Fire Company or the Ralpho Fire Company? How confusing. Facebook page screen shot says it is the Overlook Fire Company…
It’s the Ralpho fire company in Overlook next to Shamokin. I asked the same questions 😉

what's difference between quint and a ladder?
Quint has a pump/water.
There Will be a "station rigs" of the Ladder coming out. Stay tuned
Quint has 5 main tools hence where the name “quint” comes from. Water, pump, fire hose, ground ladders, and an aerial ladder.
