The days when firefighters actually ran when they got an alarm. You don't see that today.

I joined up in 1990, after riding the tailboard (and burning trash) were things and stayed on for 22 years. I remember long cold rides out to the edge of town in the jump seat of a cabbed over 1957 ladder truck (the jump seats had a roof but were otherwise open so the air swirled in) on bitterly cold January nights for a couple of false alarms at an old factory... very cold.

The chief was jack nester sr back in 1978

How'd the chauffeur put his turnout coat on? And the guy on backstep was alone when turning out...without gear. Arrived with gear on. 😅😅😅😅😂

Great story! Well done!

This story of Stan Bird and his service to his country is bigger than life. Great presentation!

Didnt that station Burn down on 4th of July in 1989?

In a town where i grew i used to hear fire whistle go off just about everday lol and listening to the scanner to see whats up lol good times

Good work! I didn't know about "Alley Oop" and the story behind it. I'll have to include it in my mental list of Utica/Rome area attractions!

Your videos are fine but your videos are not getting views. Moreover, the number of subscribers to your UA-cam channel is also very low. I checked out your UA-cam channel. I found some problems. 1. SEO Score is very low 2. No Title - Description - Tag SEO friendly 3. No Share Social Media Platform and many problems on your UA-cam Channel. If you do proper SEO of your videos and SEO of your channel, your videos will go viral very quickly. You can generate a good view. Hope you understand my point.

I remember the kb 52 code back in the day my grandpa had to say kb 52 when he was with westernville back in the 70s

Good old PA20A

There is a bell on the outside of the Clinton, NY fire station. The bell rings for 15 or 30 seconds before the famous foghorn type siren goes off. It is common for people in the park to cover their ears when they hear the bell, knowing that the loud horn will be sounding soon. It is very loud if you are very close by and especially outdoors. The sound of the Clinton fire horn can be heard for miles, depending on any wind conditions. In modern times, with all manner of electronic pagers and cell phone alerts, people may ask why fire departments still employ their loud sirens at the fire houses. While they may not be solely depended upon to call volunteers to the station, they are a reliable backup. They also alert the general public; they can even alert motorists to be aware and to get off of the roadways if they are able to do so. Perhaps most importantly is for the people involved in a motor vehicle accident or structure fire or any call for help to let them know that HELP IS ON THE WAY. When your house is on fire or someone is suffering a critical medical event, that loud siren at the fire house can be the most comforting sound you may ever hear.

Your service is deeply appreciated thanks keep them safe out there way to go good looking fire engine like the style way to go appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe

I watch this and see danger big time, standing up putting on your gear and breathing app that is heavy and can throw you off balance while the rig is speeding is a very bad idea, I started riding the tailboard and loved it until ...... one day a fellow fireman getting ready to arrive on scene fell off and was killed. His funeral was one of the saddest days in my life. My department stopped using those rigs and used rigs with jump seats the next day and and required the use of seat belts in the cab. No standing up. No one had died as a result of the changes. I still remember riding the tailboard with fondness.

the hell going on in clinton

This is great

I was at the Erie Canal Museum for the 1st time this week, for the first time I was made aware of the canal from Utica to Binghamton. Really piqued my interest and found your presentation to be just what I needed! Looking forward to exploring some of the remains when I'm in the area. Thanks!

Miss this old truck!

My first Engine was a two seat cab with a bench seat that was open facing backwards with a short roof covering us. I can still smell the diesel from the old Mack as we charged down W. Main & Harrison. 1983. Finished in 2020. A great ride.

That's a very nice pa200 siren

Brings back memories of times before pagers."fire department.what do you got"

Very cool.

Here she goes

That is a perfect lady to talk she said the man can see smoke

Damn long hairs you just know their smoking drugs..

What ever happened to the American pumper you had... 👍👍

Ahh the good ole days! People working in town AND volunteering. First truck out in minutes with a 6 man crew. Don't think that happens today. Nope, In some areas put the call out 2, maybe 3 times to get hopefully 2 people to show up in 10 minutes.

Memories of an America from long ago. Volunteerism is a dying concept.

Excellent!

That’s pretty much how it was folks 🚒

Great riding tail borad

Volunteers or not, you're representing the department. Get a haircut, you damn hippies!

Hrmmm, driver operates the radio, and they return to quarters without putting out the trash fire lol

I loved this. The time to get to Marvin Street was a little long, they probably hit that interdimensional time warp on Utica Street.

Huh. I recognized some of the people in this video, and why didn't they turn right at the light on College Street to get to Marvin Street? They went the wrong way! :o

Anyone have any idea what state this is in?

Tailboard was a unique experience for sure

Long Goering history in this great town.

Nice job!
