Most of the time it's just a preset pressure. Almost never do you actually have to do math. Most of the computations for specific hoses are already done, so all you have to do is know how much hose of a certain size is being used, and what nozzle, then just pump at the pre-determined pressure on the chart. Takes longer to explain it than it does to look it up.
On my department (I live in New England, so we have really harsh winter's) we had an engine that was in service for 33 years. We still ran calls in it daily. Honestly I was sad to see it go.
We have a fleet of 70 trucks here in st. Louis. A majority of the front lines are 2000 smeal quints. They are just barely hanging on. As a fire mechanic it sure keeps me buissy
I remember working in a meat department at a grocery store. The fire crew would come in and shop . Not in full “gear”, but you knew they were fucking ready to roll. So fucking cool!
some of them also use rear view cameras. while not necessary it makes your job a lot easier. we have two trailes with rear view cameras because some construction sites require one (they will literally send you back home if you dont have one)

I have so much respect for firefighters. Back when I delivered for Domino’s I did this massive order to my local fire station, and it was seriously SO COOL. The building was massive and made of brick, super clean and spacious, and there were medals and plaques on the walls along with all sort of firefighting paraphernalia. People were walking around with so much purpose. Everyone was completely jacked and looked like they could each single-handedly lift a firetruck with their bare hands. They were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, they laughed with each other and greeted people as they walked in like they were all best bros. It felt like a totally different world, one far better than the one the rest of us live in. The best part of all this is that I am not exaggerating even the slightest bit. (Except the part about lifting a firetruck, that’s a bit of hyperbole. But just a bit) The guy I delivered the pizza to joked that his coworkers would probably be disappointed that he wasn’t grilling steaks for his day to make everyone lunch. (Honestly, if I was a firefighter I’d expect to be eating grilled food each and every day) I don’t remember ever fantasizing about being a firefighter when I was a kid, but I can definitely see why so many people do: they’re so respectable, so heroic, and so awesome. They truly are the real heroes in our communities.
I had a very close friend who is a firefighter and he gave us a tour of his Firehouse. That included the regular fire truck as well as the ladder truck that was really cool, my daughter couldn't stop smiling from ear-to-ear and she was made honorary firefighter of the day. There was a woman firefighter at the station and my daughter says she wants to be just like her when she grows up. I told Melody that she was a positive role model for girls for breaking into the boys club and I told my daughter that you can be anything you want as long as you put your mind to it and don't let no one tell you you can't do it. 😊😉🚒
Lived in the dorms in seattle for a couple years, seeing the articulated fire trucks with the secondary driver at the far back was always super cool and always made me giddy excited like a little kid
Excellen job going over the engine dude! A little detail but important is that SCBAs carry air at normal atmospheric mixtures not concentrated oxygen so that when in a fire they aren't carrying a giant explosive on their back. The oxygen tanks have green paint/label on them and have a different valve.
Being a firefighter, I have to give you props for really getting everything right and taking the time to get the terms correct and learning all about how everything works!

My dad was a firefighter for about 25 years and he worked his way up to Battalion Chief. I always loved climbing all over the fire trucks and fire engines. I thought I'd mention that our departments send 5 guys when responding to a call unless more are needed and most decent size cities use their trucks for about 5-10 years before they go on auction for cheap where rural departments pick them up.
in the city where I grew up they always responded with at least 5 units and a crew of 19 to any reported fire, activated fire alarm (without a fire being confirmed) etc.; Frontline apparatus were kept for 2 decades before they turn into reserve units, are handed over to the volunteer FD in the city or sold to another department in the country or abroad
@@cybersquire well probably most importantly that is not a fire truck, that is a fire engine. And very rarely do you have only 3 people on an engine. Also the engineer almost always stays with the engine. Oh and there is no way in hell that department is keeping that engine for 10-15 years. Maybe 5... Maybe... But yeah that's a couple things.
Christian Towse almost all civilians use engine and truck interchangeably, that's not gonna change. So many departments run with 3 on an engine. Many departments keep rigs for more than 10 years. We have 20 year old trucks and engines (we need more funding).
I live in Oxnard, and these guys are great. Theres a lot to do out here for them, being the largest city in the county, with a population of over 207,000. Whenever they've responded to calls (mostly medical ones that I've seen) they are some of the most courteous and kind people. iv
Full time fireman and Car enthusiast here! Thanks for representing fire deptarments with this video. Love the donut media spin to firetrucks, way more entertaining than everything we usually see that is super old school. Good job on the blastoise at the end!
THIS is a brand new 2020 Pierce Fire Truck and today i'm gonna show you the quirks and features of this fire truck, but first, dont forget to check autotrader.com on my thoughts on this fire engine
Also I’d like to add is rural areas most volunteer first responders are trained on how to use the pumps and drive as there just isn’t as many firefighters on duty to man all trucks if needed
true; Can't imagine how many departments roll out with under-staffed apparatus in the USA as there are only 1.1. million fire-fighters in the truely enormous country
@@EnjoyFirefighting that baffled me, we have over a million fire-fighters is Germany and only 30k of them are non volunteers for 80 million people. I would never in my life go without someone else into a burning building, we always have 6 people (Captain, Engineer, 2 Fighter and 2 hose men that switch with the fighters after 30min) on an engine and have room for 8. Although recently it got kind off awkward when 80 men arrived with 7 engines. Edit: ok hätte ich dir nicht sagen brauchen aber gut.
I am a german volunteer firefighter and I was totally surprised by some of the features of this car. Many things are totally different but many are also the same. Great Video
“Old school easy coast thing” is called a halligan. Its a firefighter’s best friend. And depending on if it’s volunteer or professional, the amount of people in the truck can change, most with a capacity of 10
TurtleSauceGaming Yes. Us on the west cost (Oregon) use our beloved Irons. And we have 5 seats on our main engine at my station so I don’t know where people are getting these numbers. That’s crazy to me.
MidgetMan 420 nah, kissimmee Fire EMT here, most things are very expensive on the engine and rescues (Stryker stretchers cost 60-70k, lifepak 15 defibrillators are around 40k) but adapters are probably maybe $200 to be honest
@@PacificoAyala321 in comparison to a majority of everything else, yes very cheap. The married set of haligan and flathead axe was around $350 at the cheaper ends.
Front end generally uses single tire. Becuase the weight of everything is on the rear axel, there's generally dual wheels so that if one fails there's a backup. If you have catastrophic tire failure, then it's call the mechanic and a heavy wrecker
I absolutely love the halligan tool (the old school east coast tool). It does more than just pry doors open if you need it to. We use to make sure people know how to use it to open a car hood like a can, if the hood couldn't be opened other ways, and the jaws of life were already in use for something else.
Donut Media thank you for giving us firefighters a good mention. Seems like people forget about us time to time, especially being an volunteer FF I love every call I get with my brother. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all of you at Donut Media 🤙🏻💯
We're out of sight out of mind brother, people especially on the vollie side don't understand the juggling act volunteers have to do to meet our federal and State certification requirements and department call volume to be considered an active member but quite honestly I didn't join the fire service for thank yous and appreciation I joined it to help people in their darkest days and fight fire they know we're there we're just not talked about all the time if at all really the best way to so support for your local fire department if your unable to join is to go to your town meetings and vote
That is kind of to be expected. There is a not of technical knowledge that goes into the job. That being said, I did cringe at him saying the 5" supply line only pumps 250 GPM lol.
I work for the company that makes the nozzle you used at the end! As well as many of the other parts relating to water movement on truck. Im a machinist at Kochek LLC and we make Fire Equipment. Was super neat to see some of the stuff I make on daily im action
These trucks are super versatile. I used to be a fuel service provider on miliary airfields and it took three (3) different types of trucks to accomplish with fuel what this one truck does with water. Thanks Donut Media for the informative production!
A little bit off, the driver never leaves the truck his sole purpose is to protect the truck and to pump water. If he left to hook up a hydrant he'd be putting everyone at risk
Colby Milnor that's incorrect. the words "never or always" often come before an untrue statement. there are times the driver will leave the apparatus. every department is different.
If possible a fire engine will have at least 5 firemen on it. 1 driver/engineer, 1 captain, 1 auxiliary firefighter (e.g. does hydrant hookups, helps pull hoses), 2 attack members (guys who are fully suited up with SCBA, operate the fire hoses, ready to enter the structure). In my department the driver also operates the pump controls. Captain sizes up the fire and forms a strategy, speaks to bystanders and gives orders, auxiliary is usually a junior firefighter who hooks the truck up to the hydrant, helps to pull hoses and does any other gofer work that the captain needs (e.g. move supplies, smash a window if ventilating using that method, etc). Attack guys if they're not already suited up with SCBA (breathing apparatus) will immediately suit up upon arrival. Everyone has their roles and the team should be ready to attack a fire in about 1 minute of arriving at a scene. Breathing apparatus usually have about 30 minutes of air. But you can only plan to be in the structure for about 15 minutes tops. Once the BA is halfway out of air, it's time to exit the structure and let a relief team in who will continue the attack if it's called for.
TYFYS Heroes. Lets all HIHFTY... lol. It made my eye twinge too when he was talking about the irons. Good tool/s for sure. Im grabbing the NY Hook when I get off the rig.
@@85square I guess it's possible right about now there's a bunch of novel technologies being jammed into cars. They're still more safe and fuel efficient through. It's hard to tell whether someone's just moronically nostalgic or making a real observation.
We do it all the time in my dept we wet it with the booster line “the rubber hose that was on the back” scrub it with car wash and use the same line to rinse it then dry
Woutr Nick in European places like Holland and Germany they have more room on their rigs and have more jobs so they have more personal per rig, we can have up to six in an engine but the most common amount of people is four, one engineer, one captain and two firefighters.
@@VexingRaven well it is complicated but there is a curtain procedure for getting off- attack team, water team etc. Anyways really cozy in the back thats for sure
Back when they used to hang off the back of the truck, that firefighter had a very important job. As they approached the fire, the driver would stop next to the nearest fire hydrant. The firefighter would grab the end of the 5" suction line and wrap it around the hydrant. the driver would then continue to the fire scene, with the hose line sliding out and dropping to the street. When the truck stopped, the firefighter would connect the line to the hydrant and wait for the engineer to signal him to open the hydrant valve. Some trucks had the suction line already connected, so water fed directly into the pumper. Watched them practice this many times; Dad was a city firefighter for 30 years. Thanks for the video!
In Australia, we have 4 per fire truck. Unless it is a light tanker (Toyota Landcruiser), then it's only 2.. And for us bush firefighters, our 1.4's carry 2 people as it is a single cab, and from 2.4-4.4, we try 3-4 ff's. And we don't have all this engineer/ff/captain mumbo-jumbo. Everyone on a truck is a firefighter.
My cousin is a firefighter in New Jersey and he is a driver, his department's engines have on board water for a couple of minutes of fighting. They also have an extra water level gauge on both sides behind the rear doors on the cab. It is a bank of 4 big lights that when on are Blue, Green, Yellow, Red (I think, it has been a couple of years since I've seen it) and instead of the more accurate bank of lights on the driver's side panel. These lights can be seen from a distance by anybody. I find it a neat concept because they use it to gauge how much time they have before they all run out of water in the on board tank before they guy finding a water source starts getting yelled at. This is because sometimes they are in an area that has no access to water (like a car fire on side of the highway) my cousin loves it. In my hometown, most of the firefighters are trained paramedics.
I wouldn't say they do reviews since no negatives are brought up and they dont personally drive the cars they base the videos on. More like a educational video

I have so much respect for firefighters. Back when I delivered for Domino’s I did this massive order to my local fire station, and it was seriously SO COOL. The building was massive and made of brick, super clean and spacious, and there were medals and plaques on the walls along with all sort of firefighting paraphernalia. People were walking around with so much purpose. Everyone was completely jacked and looked like they could each single-handedly lift a firetruck with their bare hands. They were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, they laughed with each other and greeted people as they walked in like they were all best bros. It felt like a totally different world, one far better than the one the rest of us live in. The best part of all this is that I am not exaggerating even the slightest bit. (Except the part about lifting a firetruck, that’s a bit of hyperbole. But just a bit)
The guy I delivered the pizza to joked that his coworkers would probably be disappointed that he wasn’t grilling steaks for his day to make everyone lunch. (Honestly, if I was a firefighter I’d expect to be eating grilled food each and every day)
I don’t remember ever fantasizing about being a firefighter when I was a kid, but I can definitely see why so many people do: they’re so respectable, so heroic, and so awesome. They truly are the real heroes in our communities.
"Alot harder with all this gear on...." is only wearing a jacket
@jay bay have you ever worn bunker gear? If is not easy to move around in.
the mechanic 22 but just a jacket doesn’t do much. The pants are what makes life suck lol
No never. i had to do a test with fire extinguisher when I was a kid though. just saying dude wasn't wearing all that much gear that was the point

I had a very close friend who is a firefighter and he gave us a tour of his Firehouse. That included the regular fire truck as well as the ladder truck that was really cool, my daughter couldn't stop smiling from ear-to-ear and she was made honorary firefighter of the day. There was a woman firefighter at the station and my daughter says she wants to be just like her when she grows up. I told Melody that she was a positive role model for girls for breaking into the boys club and I told my daughter that you can be anything you want as long as you put your mind to it and don't let no one tell you you can't do it. 😊😉🚒
Lived in the dorms in seattle for a couple years, seeing the articulated fire trucks with the secondary driver at the far back was always super cool and always made me giddy excited like a little kid
Tiller, aka tractor drawn aerial.
Excellen job going over the engine dude! A little detail but important is that SCBAs carry air at normal atmospheric mixtures not concentrated oxygen so that when in a fire they aren't carrying a giant explosive on their back. The oxygen tanks have green paint/label on them and have a different valve.
In my department they are not called tanks either they are called cylinders and you’ll get called out for calling them anything different
Oxygen isn't explosive
@@syedreza8722 liquid oxygen is literally rocket fuel.
Oxygen is highly flammable

My dad was a firefighter for about 25 years and he worked his way up to Battalion Chief. I always loved climbing all over the fire trucks and fire engines. I thought I'd mention that our departments send 5 guys when responding to a call unless more are needed and most decent size cities use their trucks for about 5-10 years before they go on auction for cheap where rural departments pick them up.
in the city where I grew up they always responded with at least 5 units and a crew of 19 to any reported fire, activated fire alarm (without a fire being confirmed) etc.; Frontline apparatus were kept for 2 decades before they turn into reserve units, are handed over to the volunteer FD in the city or sold to another department in the country or abroad
Just wanna say thanks to the firefighters who are willing to risk there lives for others.
Watching this as a firefighter makes me wonder how much other stuff they get wrong on topics I dont know about
Yeah... Lots of it is so wrong!
I'm curious... what did they get wrong?
If you can get your hands on a fire truck, how hard is it to find a firefighter to explain basic shit?
@@cybersquire well probably most importantly that is not a fire truck, that is a fire engine. And very rarely do you have only 3 people on an engine. Also the engineer almost always stays with the engine. Oh and there is no way in hell that department is keeping that engine for 10-15 years. Maybe 5... Maybe... But yeah that's a couple things.
Christian Towse almost all civilians use engine and truck interchangeably, that's not gonna change. So many departments run with 3 on an engine. Many departments keep rigs for more than 10 years. We have 20 year old trucks and engines (we need more funding).
As a firefighter. I am very impressed with the research done, so that the host knows what he’s talking about. Good job!
I live in Oxnard, and these guys are great. Theres a lot to do out here for them, being the largest city in the county, with a population of over 207,000. Whenever they've responded to calls (mostly medical ones that I've seen) they are some of the most courteous and kind people. iv

Also I’d like to add is rural areas most volunteer first responders are trained on how to use the pumps and drive as there just isn’t as many firefighters on duty to man all trucks if needed
true; Can't imagine how many departments roll out with under-staffed apparatus in the USA as there are only 1.1. million fire-fighters in the truely enormous country
@@EnjoyFirefighting that baffled me, we have over a million fire-fighters is Germany and only 30k of them are non volunteers for 80 million people. I would never in my life go without someone else into a burning building, we always have 6 people (Captain, Engineer, 2 Fighter and 2 hose men that switch with the fighters after 30min) on an engine and have room for 8. Although recently it got kind off awkward when 80 men arrived with 7 engines.

Yeah, i am really wondering if we should adapt the american system or if they should look at our german system, i believe in our system :D
You are not a firefighter if you said the video is great
Stop watching movies man....
@@normandysenica9378 What do you mean exactly? Things in the US seem to work a lot different, I just know the things in germany.
Hm, interesting, what's different over there? If you'd wanna mention. Lol I'm from the Northeast and we mostly have volunteers around where I'm from.
Love his excitement when he starts the truck .. as a former engineer its always a rush when the truck comes to life and the lights are on.
“Old school easy coast thing” is called a halligan. Its a firefighter’s best friend. And depending on if it’s volunteer or professional, the amount of people in the truck can change, most with a capacity of 10
Addapp “old school east coast thing” well he’s not wrong
Do west coast people just no use a halligan?
Also, what fire truck you using? We can barely fit the standard 6 in ours.
TurtleSauceGaming Yes. Us on the west cost (Oregon) use our beloved Irons. And we have 5 seats on our main engine at my station so I don’t know where people are getting these numbers. That’s crazy to me.
I used to be accountable for a set of tools including one of those, but we always called them "hooligan tools".
10?! What kinda truck you riding in? Most is usually 6 or 8 without an inner compartment
“Picks up adapter”
*This looks expensive*
Are they?
MidgetMan 420 pretty sure
MidgetMan 420 nah, kissimmee Fire EMT here, most things are very expensive on the engine and rescues (Stryker stretchers cost 60-70k, lifepak 15 defibrillators are around 40k) but adapters are probably maybe $200 to be honest
Uh 200$ for an adapter
Nah, pretty cheap 😂
@@PacificoAyala321 in comparison to a majority of everything else, yes very cheap. The married set of haligan and flathead axe was around $350 at the cheaper ends.
Surprising features on a fire truck
*it has wheels*
Wonder where the spare was tho.
M B I would think they are run flats
hmmmm yes the water is made out of water here.
Front end generally uses single tire. Becuase the weight of everything is on the rear axel, there's generally dual wheels so that if one fails there's a backup. If you have catastrophic tire failure, then it's call the mechanic and a heavy wrecker
@@Wesrl l
I absolutely love the halligan tool (the old school east coast tool). It does more than just pry doors open if you need it to.
We use to make sure people know how to use it to open a car hood like a can, if the hood couldn't be opened other ways, and the jaws of life were already in use for something else.
Donut Media thank you for giving us firefighters a good mention. Seems like people forget about us time to time, especially being an volunteer FF I love every call I get with my brother. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all of you at Donut Media 🤙🏻💯
Keep up they good work bro. We all love ya :D
We're out of sight out of mind brother, people especially on the vollie side don't understand the juggling act volunteers have to do to meet our federal and State certification requirements and department call volume to be considered an active member but quite honestly I didn't join the fire service for thank yous and appreciation I joined it to help people in their darkest days and fight fire they know we're there we're just not talked about all the time if at all really the best way to so support for your local fire department if your unable to join is to go to your town meetings and vote
I don't, but that's because I help design these bad boys. 😉 It's almost an everyday thought for me.
Coming from a firefighter.. this has a fair bit of inaccuracy.
That is kind of to be expected. There is a not of technical knowledge that goes into the job.
That being said, I did cringe at him saying the 5" supply line only pumps 250 GPM lol.
Benjamin Weisman thank you from another firefighter
From another firefighter, maybe so, but I suppose it gets the point across

These trucks are super versatile. I used to be a fuel service provider on miliary airfields and it took three (3) different types of trucks to accomplish with fuel what this one truck does with water. Thanks Donut Media for the informative production!
A little bit off, the driver never leaves the truck his sole purpose is to protect the truck and to pump water. If he left to hook up a hydrant he'd be putting everyone at risk
Right! I was like "uhhh usually second due lays in from the hydrant" lol
Not in all jurisdictions. Some city and county fire fighters are reduced staff weigh cut hours so sometimes the engineer is asked to chip in and help.
Colby Milnor that's incorrect. the words "never or always" often come before an untrue statement. there are times the driver will leave the apparatus. every department is different.
If possible a fire engine will have at least 5 firemen on it. 1 driver/engineer, 1 captain, 1 auxiliary firefighter (e.g. does hydrant hookups, helps pull hoses), 2 attack members (guys who are fully suited up with SCBA, operate the fire hoses, ready to enter the structure). In my department the driver also operates the pump controls. Captain sizes up the fire and forms a strategy, speaks to bystanders and gives orders, auxiliary is usually a junior firefighter who hooks the truck up to the hydrant, helps to pull hoses and does any other gofer work that the captain needs (e.g. move supplies, smash a window if ventilating using that method, etc). Attack guys if they're not already suited up with SCBA (breathing apparatus) will immediately suit up upon arrival. Everyone has their roles and the team should be ready to attack a fire in about 1 minute of arriving at a scene.
Breathing apparatus usually have about 30 minutes of air. But you can only plan to be in the structure for about 15 minutes tops. Once the BA is halfway out of air, it's time to exit the structure and let a relief team in who will continue the attack if it's called for.
that in the engineer side rear compartment is called a Flathead Axe, and a halligan. married together they're called your Irons
Thank You. As a truckie who would die before you take my halligan away from me, it made my eye twitch when he was talking about the irons.
christian valencia We call them the *married couple* usually. We refer to them as Irons too over here sometimes.
If you attach a sledgehammer to a halligan, it's called a "slamigan". Trademark pending lol

3 dudes on a engine? In my department in Holland we have 7 😂
Woutr Nick in European places like Holland and Germany they have more room on their rigs and have more jobs so they have more personal per rig, we can have up to six in an engine but the most common amount of people is four, one engineer, one captain and two firefighters.
That must look like a damn clown car when everybody gets off, aren't european engines usually smaller to fit through the older streets?
Short on staff?

Back when they used to hang off the back of the truck, that firefighter had a very important job. As they approached the fire, the driver would stop next to the nearest fire hydrant. The firefighter would grab the end of the 5" suction line and wrap it around the hydrant. the driver would then continue to the fire scene, with the hose line sliding out and dropping to the street. When the truck stopped, the firefighter would connect the line to the hydrant and wait for the engineer to signal him to open the hydrant valve. Some trucks had the suction line already connected, so water fed directly into the pumper. Watched them practice this many times; Dad was a city firefighter for 30 years. Thanks for the video!
Well I wasn't expecting this, but I've ironically been watching a lot of response and ride along videos recently. Lol so this is really cool!

In Australia, we have 4 per fire truck. Unless it is a light tanker (Toyota Landcruiser), then it's only 2..
And for us bush firefighters, our 1.4's carry 2 people as it is a single cab, and from 2.4-4.4, we try 3-4 ff's.
And we don't have all this engineer/ff/captain mumbo-jumbo.
Everyone on a truck is a firefighter.
@@Hellcat007 In Poland also, only separate designed driver/medivac/pumpguy rest go to action and most experienced gives order's
My cousin is a firefighter in New Jersey and he is a driver, his department's engines have on board water for a couple of minutes of fighting. They also have an extra water level gauge on both sides behind the rear doors on the cab. It is a bank of 4 big lights that when on are Blue, Green, Yellow, Red (I think, it has been a couple of years since I've seen it) and instead of the more accurate bank of lights on the driver's side panel. These lights can be seen from a distance by anybody. I find it a neat concept because they use it to gauge how much time they have before they all run out of water in the on board tank before they guy finding a water source starts getting yelled at. This is because sometimes they are in an area that has no access to water (like a car fire on side of the highway) my cousin loves it.
In my hometown, most of the firefighters are trained paramedics.
