This station is AMAZING! That is probably the best kitchen we've seen. The SAM vehicle was absolutely beautiful with the black and red. Very impressive station.
@@HeroesNextDoor RUclips might not know whether or not they like you, but I certainly do! Every video you guys put out is amazing. Thanks for continuing to make these, I know it can't be easy.
All the time and effort you put into your videos to show and present Fire Houses all around the US to us... I love your videos; I really do. We are constantly watching your videos with my mom and dad while having our Saturday breakfast... They are firefighters as well. Learning how things are in the US, the differences between your stations and our stations here, and comparing your rigs with ours while finding similarities and differences is our best and most immense weekend joy. I also want to thank all Firefighters, Paramedics/EMTs, Officers and all other servicemen/women around the globe for their service. You are making such sacrifices just to keep us safe. I know it first hand because my whole family is crowded with Police Officers and Firefighters. Massive respect to everyone! Lots of regards from Belfast.
Thanks you for commenting. This means a lot to us. Are goal was to bring awareness to the public services. We hope to be traveling around the world to show even a wider range. To do that we need to continue to grow. Please share, like, and comment as much as possible to help that RUclips algorithm. RUclips does not know what to do with us yet but they are learning thanks to friends like you! You are appreciated!!!
And yet, their houses are built from some highly flammable stuff. A proper house shouldn't catch fire from grass or embers (like the chief said) . I know, that Americans love their wooden (plywood) houses, but at least treat that wood with fire retardant solutions and use non flammable insulation, theese people clearly got the money for that. A fancy firehouse is not an excuse to live in matchboxes.
Really great seeing how these fire stations are putting into place steps to reduce the risk to their firefighters getting cancer during or retired from service. Well done. Really lacking this in our fire services over here. A fantastic station designed for the future.
Thanks for watching and commenting everything helps. Make sure to get yourself some merch at watchheroesnextdoor.com. That will help us move on to do more stations
😂I was shocked this video was almost an hour long but seeing this station the first 30 seconds of the video it all made sense beautiful, spacious station
Yeah we completely understand that the length is much longer than we normally like or post BUT with 30,000 sq ft and all the stuff inside it was next to impossible to edit down more. There is a ton of other film that ended up on the cutting room floor too. Thanks for watching and understanding!!
Thank you for walk through of Station. Very well though out. The one thing that I thought was the neatest was the garage door off wht. Room. Very great not just for ventilation, but replacement or fix of work out equipment, can be pulled out to outer deck. Then boom lifted down to ground. Or just maybe in my Humble opinion. The Ladder truck could Hoist it down. The lower meeting room, just a thought. Could that not be used for community area on a natural Diester. The people that needed a place to stay could cook food. Plus with the 3 fold down beds in each room a family of 3 could stay in that. I'm just thinking of a big, let's say wildland FIRE. People displaced from home. The station is big enough to house relief for the area. A headquarters for command and control.
When you come to the Northeast could you look into doing a video on Boston's new station 42? It also houses a rescue truck and heard it has interior rescue training props like this station. Would love to see it.
Yeah we can try. But we need invites from the station. We don’t cold call any longer. But if someone reaches out and sends us the invite from any station we will make it happen
It would be kinda cool to see you go to Skellefteå, Sweden (Home of the Skellefteå Method), go through their station (old and new) and try to meet the founders of the Skellefteå Method. Also, it would be fun to see how the firestation differs between the US and other countries like Sweden.
Beautiful station. In the bunk rooms. What happens if you pick up on another shift and your murphy bed happens to be across from another employee working as well? They dont look like they could both clear folded down? Just curious :)
@@HeroesNextDoor I am a cadet at Paw Paw, worth a shot, don't know if I could talk to someone about an invite or not, nothing exciting about Paw Paw anyway. 🤷
@@HeroesNextDoor Just thought it would be cool to see either of those, since Ive been to both and no one really talks about them. Especially Paw Paw since we are a very small volunteer community.

Sorry for another comment. But at end of video was so important said. That the young generation, are what I call. Look see, they join the FD then like he so Brilliantly said they move on. That's a big issue with both volunteer and paid membership. There is so much Training requirements, that especially for volunteers, they are excited at first, then get bogged down in the Training after training. Time away from home. There doesn't seem to be the in it for life Firefighter, if it's not in your family blood anymore. I'm 65 Retired and still stay involved with buying a 1971 SeaGrave Engine, for show and tell. Filled it with Fire Extinguisher of all sizes I also am a Advisor for a Fire Cadet program part of which is run by the school District skills center. Community need programs like that.

Everybody loves the fire department. I was a cop for 24 years and my best friend was a firefighter. We always bust each other’s chops as he always wanted to be a cop and I always wanted to be a firefighter. I always said though, everyone loves it when the fire department shows up, “Yea, the fire department is here! YEA!!” Whenever we showed up it’s “Fuck da police!”🤣 And the firehouse is always THE coolest place to hang out! Shit, the ones on Long Island have fully stocked bars and catering facilities that any Irish pub would be proud of! Yeah, I took the wrong test.🤬
Yes please. Send official invites to watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com. Include contact names and numbers. A brief description of the station and equipment and finally the address location
I am sad the footage got lost during the dive... wonder if anyone went out to try and find it I probably could find someone to go take a look though I am sure the GoPro footage would be lost already. @Lucas1228. @HeroesNextDoor
Great Video very nice modern fire station... You should reach out to south Metro Fire if your in that area they youtube channel run by there public information officers.
@@HeroesNextDoor great hear your booked up doing great work highlighting fire and ems. Who knows maybe one day take a trip up canada southern ontario. wish you much success. I from a county just north of Edmonton alberta canada. Sturgeon county emergency service district of Namao is where I am a paid on call firefighter.
@@HeroesNextDoor it was the other guy. Brandon I guess. I wasn't saying there was disrespect. Just a pet peeve. Maybe I'm old school and that's the new touchy Feely way, I dunno lol. Either way keep up the good work my friend. And stay safe
@@jasonp9183 understood I’m old school too so I feel ya. What I have found though it’s not old school vs new it seems to be regional to we’re they are and the foundational protocols on which each company works. Everyone is just a bit different. But personally I’m in your boat. I have friend that we’re my students that have now become doctors and I no longer call them by their first names. It DR XYZ Out of respect. But that’s just me 😉
Meanwhile most of the citizens are living paycheck to paycheck and have seen their real estate taxes in 10 to 15 years go from $500 a year to $7,000 to $10,000 year with annual 10% tax increases to pay for these local government Taj Mahals. Sort like school districts that think local taxes is 'free money' and install $15,000 digital blackboards in gym locker rooms like the HS basketball team is in the NBA.
These fire houses look so bland and boring there’s no personality. Don’t get me wrong they look very nice and clean but they don’t give me the traditional feeling and personality.
There is a lot of mixed feeling and evidence to whether they do what is promised. However, it was a good effort to try and help the firefighters who help the public.
As impressive as 11's new house is, I think you would've been even more awed if you saw the old one: 5280fire.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/AdamsCounty_Sta11.jpg That building now houses the department's fire prevention office and second home to Riley, the accelerant detection dog. Also, since you asked early in the video, administration is colocated with Station 14, and today the building looks nothing like it did when built in 1980 as North Washington Station 31--you'd think it was every bit as new as Station 11. Interesting to hear mention of the successful merger between North Washington and SWAC in 2015 but not the one that didn't work with South Adams County Fire. in 2019 which fell apart in less than six months. Sometimes there's more to learn from the things that don't go according to plan than the ones that do. Regardless, SAC is a quality organization in its own right. (EDIT: If anyone from either department reads this, understand I'm not pointing fingers. Rather, it's a good example that mergers don't always work and consolidation isn't always the best solution for the communities their fire departments serve. Consolidation is an expensive and time-consuming ordeal, so ACFPD and SACFD could both offer insight to other agencies considering that avenue in terms of the stumbling blocks they might have missed before setting off down that road.) Mention is also made of the department's role in technical rescue. Specifically, they're a member agency of North Area Technical Rescue Team (NATRT), which also includes Arvada FPD, Brighton FRD, Federal Heights FD, Frederick-Firestone FPD, North Metro FRA, Mountain View F-R, SACFD, Thornton FD and Westminster FD, and responds to technical rescue incidents in Adams, Boulder, Broomfield, Jefferson and Weld Counties. ACFPD is also a member of Adams Jefferson County Hazardous Response Authority--the specialist-level hazmat team covering the two counties, plus Broomfield city and county through its association with North Metro, who is also a member agency--and houses a support apparatus (HazMat 3) at Station 12. 3:31 It's actually a 1942 General Safety on a Chevy chassis that started its career at Hill Army Airfield in Utah. 35:07 Cameo appearance from Brighton Engine 51. 41:57 Glad to see they're keeping old "Southern Comfort" up and running. Lastly, your map at 11:22 is misleading: ACFPD's district is actually just north of Denver, right where I-25 and I-76 cross on the map, not out in the sticks where the pin is located. Another great episode, Mike, and another great Colorado department. Keep 'em coming!
