That is one of the biggest fire houses I’ve seen around the nation. It’s beautiful it’s functional and it offers so many comforts of home for your staff. Do you have it opened up to the public is outstanding and a great way to educate and gain more future firefighters and rescuers and leaders. Congratulations and thank you for the work that you all do for our nation. God bless and stay safe. Steve
Whoever came up with the design of this station is a genius and the guy walking people through on the video is excellent with his description of everything
6:34 If you look to the right of the big circle in the middle, the patch that says 'Queensland fire service' is my state, down in Australia! That's pretty cool to see.
If you think your taxes are high now you know why! People that have private sector jobs don't get these luxuries why should people working on are tax money get these high end luxuries! Ridiculous!
Wow station requirements sure have changed since I was a firefighter in the 90's. One shower bathroom, gear racks in the engine bay and everybody sleeping in the same room, regardless of gender on bunk beds. I would assume some stations still have this. Very well done video.
Dang man... I used to live there and was a volunteer for a long time as well (if you are still around, Hi Dewitt!). this sure is a massive step up from the small place we had in town on the corner for so many years.
Could make a top about the coolest apparatus in service, the oldest still in service, the most technologically advanced, the most emblematic ones (maybe they appear in a movie or tv show), so on.
I am 14 years old and absolutely love fire fighters I have read so much, I thank everyone who is part of first responders, I would love to be a firefighter
@@HeroesNextDoor thank you for sharing lovely Monticello, IN. We have a lake house on Lake Shaffer and I know first hand these guys roll ALL the time! I got to sit in and follow Medic 4 to the hospital once; these guys are true professionals. They cover the entire White County and surrounding region; this is why their station and coverage area is so big. The nearest large hospital is a 40 mile trip to Lafayette. Nicely done Heroes Next Door!
In Germany some HQ Firestations have 30 or even 50 Engine bays. 5-10 for EMS 4-6 for command (Command cars, Command Vans, Command trucks) Up to 10 spaces for staffed appliances Engine, Rescue engine, Rescue, Ladder, Tanker, Pod Carrier
Population is ~ 5000, so quite big department with a lot of cool stuff/vehicles! Sure they run calls outside the city but you can't compare with the huge Departments in Central Europe or the big US Departments.
@@HeroesNextDoor I’m a second generation firefighter/paramedic that retired as a battalion chief. My father started in 63’ and as a kid the fire station was my playground. When Emergency was on TV, I was hooked. The funny thing is if I was watching with Dad, if there was a structure fire or any kind of fire he would always make comments like “Nope, wrong color smoke” and things like that.
Phil Vdd what a surprise to see the station again! in August 2018 we were on vacation (rbnb) in Monticello! we have the memory of having been overtaken by several vehicles which went on an accident, an overturned semi-trailer. (08/17/2018) near Moab. 🚨 🚒 🚑 🚓 .
They must have a pretty good economy. They have 11 pieces of equipment and a huge station. Thats the biggest ive ever seen for 5000 people. A fire dept for 5000 is one station around 12000 sq ft.
@@HeroesNextDoor If you have a huge coverage area, it's not a very good idea to have all your equipment in one station. That totally screws your ISO rating and increases your average response time. They should have at least one satellite station.
@@ffjsb Agreed. Where I lived that had a big coverage area. They had 3 separate stations. They used to have 2, one north end, one south end. Town grew with new housing and they built a new station and staged the ladder truck in the middle and moved in one pumper from a station that had 3 pumpers. So they had no cost rather then the new building which was nothing fancy. So they had a station north end, south end and one in the middle. So response time would be "level" and it was a volunteer department. From one end of the town line to the next town line it was about 18 miles. Bigger is not always better.
Another beautiful station. 👍 I like the proactive approach to the dangerous carcinogens many fire services around the world have been slow to get the information out about how dangerous the job really is. The station is set up great.
Heroes Next Door, Ive just come across your channel, great interesting content. Id like to get your thoughts and send a request. Im an Airport Firefighter and would love for you to do an episode on an Airport Firehouse,not much content on that out there.
Thanks for watching! We are trying to get into an airport fire station, we just don’t have any contacts for one. Shoot us an email at watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com with any contacts you have for an airport station
I would love absolutely love to have a kitchen table and chairs like they do or like you guys do and you're firehall those are just cool and I have never seen anything like that out of the 30 years that I was a firefighter
For a brief second I saw some of the crew in the reflection from the window of the door to the maintenance room... I think they have to practice hide and seek some more!
You guy should check out the 2 Alsip fire departments in Illinois. They have a helipad at station 2 and training center at station 1. Lot of trucks too for the size of the town.
That is an incredible station, not like the old stations I've been in. We slept in an open squad bay style room, had one locker room with a large restroom, a multiple shower head shower area, it was draconian by comparison.
you should go look at one of the three stations in connersville indiana i know they are small but they are really cool station 4 has a pretty cool part of the station that many dont you can email the fire chief and he is really nice he let me go to station 1 to get a tour
This is my county’s fire department I live 10 miles north of it and they have responded to me several times whether it was when I was paralyzed in a 1050 PI or when I was going septic with an infection
Love the videos man. You should make a trip down to the Mississippi gulf coast. Gulfport fire department station 9, D’iberville fire station, Biloxi station 1. Another place is Boerne, TX which has an amazing fire station.
Some of those are spare and special case rigs, like the dive van is not staffed everyday. Along with the tanker etc. I imagine that companies will jump to a special rig if they need to.
Yeah but who covers the main calls when they're out and about with the dive unit? What do they do if theyre out on another call when a dive rescue comes in? How they respond to a fire? 3 on the engine 3 on the truck? 2 on the ambo? Who brings the tanker now or additional units if needed?
Hey Mike! I got with you a few weeks back about doing a station tour of my department’s 2 4 bay stations. I was just wondering if you would still like to stop by and tour them.
I saw the -thumbnail and said “that looks like the Monticello Fire Department”. I just moved back a month or so ago. I have friends who worked for this department, now retired. One of my friends was one of the first EMTs in the state. Funny story: I was eating lunch in a drugstore downtown right after I got out of the Navy (mid 70s). The fire chief at the time asked me if I wanted a job working for them. I thought about it for a bit.
Very nice and interesting video! Does someone know how the vehicles are staffed? Because there only 6-8 guys but a ton of vehicles. Greetings from Germany
have you check out the mount Vernon fire department also known as 1st president of the US George Washington's I believe he had a fire dept for his property I could be wrong

Yeah he did a great job decorating it

If you think your taxes are high now you know why! People that have private sector jobs don't get these luxuries why should people working on are tax money get these high end luxuries! Ridiculous!
That dive truck is so cool great idea by that department
My local fire department, was great to see inside of it. Haven’t had a chance to go check it out yet. Thanks Heros Next Door
No problem. Those guys were great. Stop by one day and check it out.
I like the layout of the theater. No one has to fight for space when they're watching Emergency or Adam-12.
and there are city departments all across the country that still operate out of stations that are 75 years old and get the job done.
@@trvman1 Very true.
@@trvman1 how many machines they got for just 6 staff?
16:45 just as he walks though the door left side wall..😂😂😂

Once we build up our channel more we should be able to head to Russia to film. If we are invited
M m m. M. Mmm m. M m

Amazing station with awesome apparatus, thank you for this great video.
We got them beat 6 in 2 bays in my volunteer department in northern Minnesota actually lots of really cool rigs up here Chisholm and cook MN
Haha they got all that room, yet they want to be together in a loft. Thank you gentlemen for your support service and sacrifice

Tjey must be expecting to grow cause they only got 6 guys. At least 2 gonna be on the ambo so 4 for all them engines and tower.
You need at least one back up truck for every primary truck.
Imagine smacking your knees on the fire hydrants while scooting your chair in
Ouch !!!
Another beautiful station. 👍 I like the proactive approach to the dangerous carcinogens many fire services around the world have been slow to get the information out about how dangerous the job really is.
The station is set up great.
Every time there is a new station cribs video it always gets me excited for the next one! Awesome station!
Thanks for watching. Many more to come !!!
Awesome Station!
Wow, what an awesome station! It’s more like a museum with all that memorabilia.
Beautiful looking crib
I was just watching his videos a couple hours ago
Great looking station I enjoyed watching this.
Amazing content as always! Make sure if you are ever in Pennsylvania to stop by the Kingston Fire Station!
Have them send us an invite to watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com. We are from PA
Will do 👍
Nice that you mention the tank size. Very few FD’s that post videos, seldom get around to this important aspect. ✌️
Good to see those Type One recliners in the day room.
Very nice video for people that are starters for fire buffs very educational for the youngsters!
Thats actually a really nice looking Fire house
Great video. Nice to see the classic Century Series American LaFrance engine that's parked outside. Any info. on that apparatus?

Should ask Ventura County Fire Department in california if you could view a few of their stations. Both the newest and the beach ones
The Emergency picture on the wall😆
Thats a huge station!
For a brief second I saw some of the crew in the reflection from the window of the door to the maintenance room...
I think they have to practice hide and seek some more!

Thank you.
What about the ALF Century Series engine sitting outside by the training tower?
Unleash the hate. Some brotherhood.
Nice Firehouse. Glad you guys are well funded. You deserve it.
Can you go to Port Jefferson department?😊
Have y’all ever considered doing anything with Charlotte NC Fire Department? 🇺🇸 love the channel!🎉
Maybe one day! We just need the invites to be sent to us in order to schedule them

Awesome video!
Truck checks must take all day!
How do they staff so many units with 8-10 guys per shift only?
Backed up by volunteers? Do they call in the off shifts for big ones? How does that work? :)
I have the same wonder
Some of those are spare and special case rigs, like the dive van is not staffed everyday. Along with the tanker etc. I imagine that companies will jump to a special rig if they need to.

Yeah?
You guys should do Concord twp fire station 1 in Elkhart Indiana
OMG thank you so much I live here and always wondered what was in there
Wooooooooooow AWESOME BUILDING
For sure. We wish we could have shown more of the burn building out back. That was really cool inside too. Just to dark when we tried to film.
@@HeroesNextDoor keep up the great work, I’m loving it. ✌🏿💪🏿👍🏿👌🏿💯
thats my kind of department, all e-ones

Some probably are a designated jump company and some probably only are used in special cases
Yes they can get called in if they need extra trucks out
You should go to teh fire house in my town its pretty big and they have alot of new trucks even like a utv rescue kinda thing
You guys should do Hanover Area Fire and Rescue in Hanover Pa
We need the invite to get that done
Just found this channel I love it
Thanks for watching, hope you liked it and subscribed
Very nice and interesting video! Does someone know how the vehicles are staffed? Because there only 6-8 guys but a ton of vehicles.
Greetings from Germany
Question why is there so many engines?
Could you travel out to Tennessee, maybe Nashville Fire?
We need the invites to make that happen. Are you able to help with that?
Got 2 departments for ya, Cedar Rapids Iowa Central Fire Station and Marion Iowa Station 1
Send us the official invites and we will get that done
What station are you a member of and have you ever done this show in your station
Yes our very first video was at the station I work at. Downingtown Minquas
Where is the washer and dry cab for cleaning your turnout gear?
I think they send it out or it was in the mechanics room where they repair stuff. I'll have to watch it myself again 😜 thanks for watching
love this video
Thanks for watching
You need to do a station Riggs tour of the new fire truck
Thank you.

have you check out the mount Vernon fire department also known as 1st president of the US George Washington's I believe he had a fire dept for his property I could be wrong
When will you come to Virginia and do hanover county station 10

Yep. Most don't like to be on camera. We wish more were willing to talk 😉
Do you have also volunteer firefighters in the US like in Germany ?
Here nearly every village has a firestation.
