    You get what you pay for, “literally.” Rural Metro is a for profit FD.

If they determine there’s not a life safety issue, then they’ll protect any exposures and your house will burn to the ground.

As far as insurance is concerned, I would seriously doubt that they would pay for loss due to fire because the homeowner chose not to pay for fire protection. But who knows. Pets are not considered to be a “human” life concern under most cases, because there are too many variables involved when fighting interior fires. But firefighters are humans and most have pets so it’s possible that pets could be saved. No guarantee.

      I worked at a different department from where I am now and they only had 2 on each engine company. The driver dressed in turnouts before leaving the station and would charge a preconnect, after which we donned an airpack before joining our partner for an interior attack. That was in the 90s. I believe that department does things differently now.

    • @PauwerFurry
      @PauwerFurry 3 роки тому +3

      If you have an extinguisher on hand, use it. If you can’t put it out with an extinguisher, call 911. Ideally, if there’s someone else around while you’re attempting to put it out with an extinguisher, have them call 911 as soon as they can. We would much rather be on our way and you put it out yourself then you lose control and only then call us. While waiting for responders to arrive, as hard as it may be, I strongly advise staying back and out of danger. The most helpful thing you can do in that situation is stay on the phone with the dispatcher, and calmly let them know what’s happening until responders arrive.

    • @lincoln1881
      @lincoln1881 3 роки тому +6

      The dispatchers play a vital role in the response of units to calls. Often times, especially for a structure fire, there are multiple units coming from multiple stations, possibly stretching past county lines. A chief could not possibly coordinate that response in a timely manner across these numerous stations, while also handling other elements, such as transfer companies. I see how it could appear as though dispatchers do not do much, but they actually coordinate a lot and are responsible for a lot of the organization when units are responding.

      @Kitsaper 3 роки тому +2

      So many different answers could be given to this but let me narrow down to just two... first, what phone number you going to call? You would need a different phone number for every single fire station with no dispatchers. OK< so you have the phone number of YOUR fire station memorized. What number do you call when you are visiting my house? What about seeing something on the way to the mall? You think we all have the same fire department? Second, what do you do when you call the fire department without dispatchers but there is no answer because they are on another call already? Leave a voicemail? Point being, dispatchers are essential for so many reasons.

    • @ScottEKelly
      @ScottEKelly 3 роки тому +1

      Then who would answer for a police call? A medical call? Who gives you pre-arrival instructions like how to control bleeding, perform CPR, deliver a child, administer naloxone, clear an airway obstruction? Who keeps your suicidal loved one on the line and talking until help can get to them? Who finds out where in the house your family member is trapped in relation to the location of the fire? Who establishes command at a scene if the fire chief has to stay back in the station and talk to callers? Who takes the additional calls from people stuck in the mall during a mass shooting? What if you call your local fire station and they're already out on a call? Who is there to answer?
      If you don't know what we do, don't question why we do it.
