- Many of you have been asking for this video for long time now, probably since I started doing ride along videos. This seemed fitting for a special video to commemorate 1,000 total uploads and over 50,000 subscribers. Thank you all for the support you have given to me and the department. Look forward to the many more videos that are to come! Please forgive any small issues with the editing of this video, as this is the first project of this type that I have ever done. In this video you will get a brief look around our station, and look at the apparatus and what we carry. If you're watching this video shortly after it comes out, be sure to stop by the station on Saturday June 15th, 2024 for our 100th Anniversary Open House! There will be tons of fire apparatus there as well as medical helicopters, apparel to buy, food, department history, fun activities, and more!

FAQs-
Q: "Where is this?"
A: Our fire house is located in the town of Willow Street, just south of Lancaster City, Lancaster County Pennsylvania.
Q: "What is the spinning thing?"
A: That is called the "Roto-Ray," it is a spinning light designed to catch drivers attention.
Q: "Why is the call so far away?" or "Why does it take so long to get there?"
A: Many of our responses, or at least many of the ones that are uploaded are responding to assist other departments. Usually another firehouse can be seen or is passed by who is already on the call. We can reach the far end of our first due in West Lampeter Twp within 5 minutes, and in Providence Twp about 7.
Q: "What camera are you using?"
A: For dash cams I use a GoPro Hero 7, helmet cam videos I use a FireCam 1080
Been watching this channel since 2014. Its amazing how those 10 years just flew. From you just filming the trucks going out on calls to you now being a firefighter. Congratulations on your 50K and thank you for continuously serving our community for over 100 years!
This fire department, even though it's all-volunteer is one of the most professional fire departments in this country. You are much better then a lot of fully paid fire fighting companies in this country and God bless everyone of you.
Thank you!

I would like to ask a question sir: what are the pipes that connect to the trucks from the roof? I have never seen them in Italy, I take this opportunity to congratulate you for this wonderful video and for the important work you do for the community
The black hard looking things? They are called "Hard Suction" for drafting out of rural areas.
They connect to the exhaust on the vehicles. That way the exhaust is expelled from the building and does not contaminate the apparatus bay with carcinogenic materials from the exhaust
@@Justin-jw7gc oh thanks And! i'm sorry for my Inglish
i noticed there was a exhaust on the top as well as the side. what’s the top one for and why is it not also connected to the house? is it a separate engine like a generator or something?
Looks like the kitchen needs re-renavaded, if i was a multi-millionaire i would buy company's new apparatus and stations, but I'm not 😢
❤
19:22 3 pedals? I know the q and horn, but whats the third? Never seen one with 3 pedals
The 3rd is for the electronic siren, however it isn't hooked up
No EMS? Do you guys go as first responders till a medic unit arrives or are you guys strictly fire response ?
Also any of the trucks scheduled to be replaced soon?
The traffic unit will be next and then maybe the rescue We used to run ems until a few years ago, they merged with another organization, and the Ambulances are kept in a different area
We are strictly fire, except for cardiac arrests and persons struck. We will respond to a medical call if EMS needs assistance with something and they ask for us. And there are talks of replacing the Tower and Rescue at some point soon, but nothing definitive yet.
What function does the yellow connector hose that comes out of the vehicles towards the roof have?
If it’s going to any other vehicle than the Rescue, Engine, or Tower… then what you’re asking about will be the “shoreline” it keeps the batteries charge and ready to go. There’s a shoreline to each apparatus plus a air hose to keep the actual trucks air tanks filled to supply air to the air brakes and the horn.
But I think you’re referencing the pipes. Those are the exhaust ventilation hoses. They connect to custom exhaust tips with magnets to keep the exhaust fumes out of the station and off the firefighters turnout gear.
@@goldengaming7036 Thank you very much for your answer. It is a beautiful video, very well detailed. You do a great job.
I love when the trumpets of glory sound!
@@leiaorgana6987 This is not my video as I live in Iowa 😂
Hydrant bag?
Yes it’s a quick grab bag for the hydrant. It lol contain adapters to connect to hydrants that don’t have a quick connection as in the Storz Lock that your LDH has on each end. The hydrant bag will have that fitting because common hydrants with three outlets 2 - 2 1/2 and the Large Diameter which measures up to 5-1/2 or 5-3/4 so that bag will have a gate for one of the 2-1/2 outlets, the storz adapter for your 4in or 5in supply line. There’s other adapters plus a spanner wrench and a hydrant wrench which typically acts as a spanner as well.
If your station is 50, why is the trucks labeled rescue 5-12 not rescue 50 and so on?
Are you guys going to be selling Shirts at the open house?
Yes, I believe so
Wasn’t there 2 engines truck rescue and 2 squad
I think the Same they have Engine 502 where ist Engine 501 ?
Engine 1 was sold several years ago and replaced with the TAC
You guys have very nice truck's and equipment.
Thanks!
More fire truck videos
why is most your apparatus you call it something different than what is marked on the truck for example Rescue 50 is called rescue 5-12.
That is because several years ago the county changed the numbering system to eliminate the dashes. Our number used to be 5-12, and it is now 50. The department didn't want to pay to get everything lettered again, so the 5-12 was kept and anything purchased afterwards would get 50 on it.
I’d volunteer
Hell of a lot better set up this us ny depts tbh we set our trucks to what we do and half the shit yall got on we would look at and ask why but very understandable what pa runs compared to us ny
