Awesome 👏 so nice to see them reusing a building to meets their need. So many fire departments spend millions on one station which I can understand but seeing this is so cool. More departments should do the same if they can.
There is a town near me with a station that also used to be a bank. It still has a HUGE empty vault! That station is used primarily for the higher ranking staff.
Manheim is 6 miles northwest, Towns/Villages here in Manheim Township are: Neffsville, Eden, Oregon, and Roseville. Very informative on the new station and MTFR.
Great way to save the community some money, the township I’m in has built numerous huge new stations but most of them but one sit with only a third of the floor used. Makes a nice but expensive place for the on duty personal to park their vehicles
In my town our fire house was an old supermarket. I've no idea how hard it must have been to convert 🤣 British land isn't cheap probably more effective
Be interested to hear about how they train out of this station. Seems like parking lot drills or just simply pulling the truck out and running equipment is not possible here. Cool conversion but hopefully they have money in place for a nee build when the lease is up.
Awesome Video!! I’ve never seen a bank converted into a firehouse, also I would love to see a station cribs of the Cranberry Twp Volunteer Fire Co in butler county pa… it’s a really cool combined fire and ems station.
In Ohio we have a 16 Hour EVOC (emergency vehicle operation course) which complies with the Ohio Department of Public Safety and NPFA 1001, 1451, and 1500.
There were a lot of arguments when the original three volunteer stations in Manheim Township "merged" into MTFR. Neffsville had red trucks, Eden was yellow and Southern MT I think was green (I could be wrong on that one). In the end they decided on Blue as it matches the local School District and PD colors and was neutral from all three former fire departments.
@@HeroesNextDoor Honestly didn't know. Where I'm from which I'll give it is an entirely different country (New Zealand) our minimum crewing for a full time station is four per truck. One for a tanker and two for HAZMAT/Command. For volunteers over here anything that is three people or less is considered short crew and comms is notified.
@@HeroesNextDoor I love it! It's a different style of sponsor promoting that is enjoyable for the viewer. Whereas normally, we get tired of the same old sponsor plugs and fast forward.
Hey looking to join the fire station do you have any Tips and tricks on studying for the civil service exam also if you could explain the different trucks and there responsibilities
Sorry about that. When I get excited my Italian comes out. I try to put my hands in my pockets to slow but that does not always help. I’m working on it 😉
I am still working full time as a paramedic firefighter. At least for now. Maybe another year before I can go full time heroes. The more subs we get the quicker we can transition
One of the reasons why fire depts are short staffed is you have to have a high school diploma which is ridiculous I do support fire departments but not that
Much of the required training in both fire and EMS requires lots of reading and studying. Not that people who didn't graduate are bad at these things or that graduates are automatically good at these things a diploma is an indicator of success probability. It wouldn't serve anyone to enter into expensive training if their probability for success was low. If someone is determined they could attain a GED and maybe even take training on their own to show tenacity and diligence.

It would be so amazing to see an in-depth tour of Garden Spot Fire and rescue it was always a place I wanted to see
We just need them to invite us
Wow I love the blue fire engines

I LOVE this concept! Re-purposing already existing buildings is a great idea!
Yeah we have seen older buildings do this but nothing this new
My friend and I go there almost Every day to hang out with the boys there

This is awesome, I live right next to Manheim Township in just Manheim. I can't believe I stumbled upon this video
Station 2 on Beach St in Westerly RI used to be a Church
Best sponsor ad I’ve ever seen
Thanks

In one of the towns near me their fire house used to be a school.
That would be awesome to see.

Stopped in at there Eden Station on my vacation awesome station and the crew was amazing to talk to. Highly recommend visiting

They have three other stations in the department. This was to help cut response times
I really like the blue on the apparatus.
I know right. Me too
Fun fact the blue and white colors represent Manheim Townships school district colors of blue and white
Great video Mike! You truly deserve more subscribers!
Thanks we are getting there with your help. Much appreciated
Awesome Video!! I’ve never seen a bank converted into a firehouse, also I would love to see a station cribs of the Cranberry Twp Volunteer Fire Co in butler county pa… it’s a really cool combined fire and ems station.
The table is excellent!
I know right!!!
Hey didn’t even realize till now but Manheim township is my hometown
Hope you liked it
where I live we got a fire station number 2 used to be a Texas National Guard building they turn out into a fire station
That sounds awesome. How do you like it ?
@@HeroesNextDoor it's neat they did a good job on it it's close to the interstate in the hospital

So cool!!
When you show apparatus can you show the chiefs vehicles as well. Thank you
Check out the station rigs series for those reviews
Stockbridge Area Emergency Service Authority converted an closed Dealership into there new station to get both Fire and EMS under one roof.
Stockbridge, MI
You should visit hackettstown fire and they may be open to it
MTFR 🔥🔥🔥
What does that mean?
The blue and white fire truck colors are nice and all, but whatever happened to the traditional red?
They are still out there

We have Carolina blue trucks in North Carolina
They used a bank in my town and an old warehouse.
Should come up to Kittery Maine and the navel FD.
Just send an invite and we can make that happen
I don't like the sound of a three person engine company. Minimum crewing of four people seems alot better.
That’s actually fairly common here in PA.

I think they typically respond with two apparatus out of the four total stations, so they would normally have at least six people on a call
A blue fire truck..? That is a new one for me. I am more of a trditional person...
Did he say they have a tiller truck I never see one of those trucks before
Will you be able to do a truck tour of the tiller truck
Yes they came down from their other station. We did not do a tour of it. However I will work out getting one for the channel!! Thanks for watching
They actually have two in MTFR' system I believe
Just being nosey and idk if you asked but do their members remain at the same staion? Or can they, for example, work OT at the other stations?
Once they have the workout equipment they would stay there. However right now I believe they use the other stations
2:48 Man, I'm going to have rescind my offer to run a discord for you, I did not sign up to see Mike's ass. LOL
😉😂🤣😂 we just hope you liked the change a bit and consider the sponsorships that are helping us

Go somewhere else there are tons of reasources online look up “the different trucks and there responsibilities”
Maybe on our Friday night “Around the fire table” talks we can address these questions
@@HeroesNextDoor yes sir
Man SLOW DOWN !! Are YOU on SPEED ???
Sorry about that. When I get excited my Italian comes out. I try to put my hands in my pockets to slow but that does not always help. I’m working on it 😉
Mike ate you still a paramedic or have you retired from EMS to consentrate on your channels

@@michael61985 Dude, that's like the bare minimum, I have a feeling that you didn't graduate high school lol.
