- Company 5 toned out as first due engine company to a single story wood frame residential structure with fire originating in the wood stove flu . Upon Lt. 5's arrival, access will be rough and the structure is fully involved. Attack, truck, as well as tanker responded all together for one of our best response times.

Gotta say never seen a response video where a engine company crossed a creek and didn't get stuck on that road very impressive
I drove fire trucks for a number of years...and I have NO CLUE how you managed to get there. WAY TO GO!
They rock hall they get it done
You all deserve a medal just for getting to the fire, I bet there's some paint missing from the engines!!, well done guys.
I was a volunteer back in the 70's living in northern Illinois. Just 9 miles from the Wisconsin border. We called it the boonies. Jeez, you guys are out in the giggly weeds. Remember when you read bad comments about volies it's volunteer, you don't have to go, but we do. I've left many a good meal to answer the call, even on Thanksgiving, and that was a worker. Take care and be safe. Little Blitz 85 LZvFD retired.
Patrick B thanks so much brother
Patrick B. I grew up in the same neck of the Woods. Freeport. Were you in cedarville or?
Lake Zurich
kudos to the drivers of the apparatus. that is the tightest bumpiest cow path i ever saw. you had me nervous watching in some of those parts. wow. good job fellas
Outstanding job. Rural response takes dedication.
It's always a shame to have to sit & watch your house burn to the ground. I've never seen dash cam footage from where the guys have to pound thru the boonies like this, but people live out there so somebodies got to show up. My hats off to you guys. Great job to the guy showing up early, relaying information on how to get there & keeping everyone back.
Have your own water supply & pump ready if you live in a structure in the middle of a forest. A tiny fire takes only 10 minutes to be fully involved. No chance for this place, very sad to see. Excellent driving skills! Nice work!
A big salute to all the rig drivers.
now that's traveling a pig path to a house fire! Thank God for our awesome dedicated Volunteers!
Great job just getting there! Hats off to the driver!!🧑🚒
I'm a volunteer in a rural area and lanes like this are the norm. but I have to say we've never had to cross any creeks though. well done guys
I think my ass would still be stuck to the seat!
That is a rural response! Good Job getting there!
Good job keeping your cool. I would have used every cuss word I know 5 times going up that driveway. Nice job getting it in there.
That was some strong driving on the goat path. Got there just in time to save the foundation.
Good Q use at the 7:12 point, just in case a canoe is paddling by.
Robert Vogel You have to watch those pesky canoes
Holy crap! Nothing like fording a few streams with an engine to get to a call. I feel so spoiled to have paved roads.
Bryan Boehle same lmao
That is some skilled driving right there
I know this is a oldie but goody, but I. Have rewatched it over many times. Thank you.
Having lived 77 years in Phoenix, AZ, it's difficult for me to wrap my head around "Rural Fire Protection". Back in my younger days (lol), I "visited" many such locations. I almost certainly would have had with me, a tent, bedroll, air mattress, and at least 4 days supply of water and food, along with a very large pistola and as much ammo as I could carry.
Rural departments face a whole different set of challenges compared to cities. One underestimated challenge is knowing your territory!! I don't think I would have been so confident that I wasn't lost. Good job getting there boys that was some jam up driving. You can't save them all.
Gotta love how that guy throws his ciggi on the ground next to the fire.
WOW ! That's one helluva truck driver...kudos
How did you NOT get that rig stuck on that road. Holy crap lol.
the blessings of all wheel drive apparatus
Eagle Rock Volunteer Fire Dept. did the kenworth (tanker 5) make it through the bush and uneven terrain?
Spencer Peterson Surprisingly yes. We managed to get 3 engines, 2 tankers, 1 medic unit and 3 utilities to this scene. The Two tankers and the third engine were 2wd and nobody really had any issue.
What an absolute miserable track for access. Suspect there were some serious scratches to buff out from the various apparatus.
I can just see the OIC,s expression when it was all over, "How the heck do I now get get 3 engines, 2 tankers, 1 medic unit and 3 utilities turned around and back out of here!!"
good Lord fellas,talk about out in the toolies, great job just getting there
"damn, I ain't never been in a place like this before"
That scene light really helps, wish my volunteer department had a brow light.
Wow! This was one Day before my Birthday!
Gets on scene and that guy with the camo hat on in front of the truck is just watching his shed burn to the ground. and then he throws a lit cigarette on the ground on some grass. cant fix stupid i guess.
Well at least the one guy moved his beer. Also it looks the camo cap guy is shoeless.
Nathan Dahn was not his shed it was his house. He threw the butt onto the gravel driveway.
Nathan Dahn In the firefighter world we call that "job security"
Nathan Dahn you can sedate though
Man I hate responding to places like that!! Nothing like listening to tree limbs take the paint off a half million dollar apparatus!! But that's the norm with being a rural department, we have one home in our area that has a wooden bridge that we can't even cross with our mini-pumper and there's only one way in, after the bridge it's up a very steep hill on a one lane trail barely wide enough for our brush truck! The home is probably a half million dollar log home as well, I'm still trying to figure out how they got the concrete trucks and building supplies in there to build it!
damn that is in the sticks lol.
Virginia Volunteer fire fighters are the Best anywhere!!
That response looks familiar to me. Lol. I live in the sticks and response times are 35+ minutes🤷🏻♂️
nice vid bud, real nice. Anyway from Boston, stay safe out there buddy..
FireFighter Strong thanks!
Eagle Rock Volunteer Fire Dept. No prob Brotha. ;)
With that road not much to save once you get to the location :(
glad that the ford jubilee made it
And I thought we had some back roads in my district!! Dang!
ANNDDD...that's why I wont live in the middle of fucking nowhere..
pog champ for driving on that road
Caller it's just down that dirt lane a little drive lol
nice video. what kind of dash cam do you have? and I am glad to see the folks that live there managed to keep tossing back a few cold ones while their home burned.

Basically a well working structure fire.
Ah yes. Nothing like blaring lights and sirens at 3am.
There's something to living in the country, but there's big risks to it as well
that's a road????
Great job guys
Great job! I’m just curious though, does it usually take 14 minutes to get to a call being in such a rural area? In another vid I saw tonight as second engine due it took you 15 minutes to get there even using paved roads. Is this just the norm of rural areas as far as response time? Thanks, and again great job.
I ran out a department in the southern end of Botetourte for a decade and I have run calls 27 minutes to scene before. Very large land mass, bisected by interstate and 2 major roads. Everything else is secondary or worse. Eagle Rock probably most rural and they run most 4WD units to access these area.
Having been to Eagle Rock I can attest that it's not an easy area to move around in if you don't know where you are going. These guys constantly fight to reach calls like this even with the proper gear simply because of the land itself. As far as taking 15 minutes as a 2nd due engine though? Thats not too bad, as 2nd due means the 1st due is already there and suppressing the fire so at the very least there is water present, and that is 1 of the 2 major things for a 1st due unit to do.
Follow the glow in
Interesting driveway.
great music for this would have been dueling banjos
talk about a tight fit!!! wow
Talk about a major test of for the Trucks. No paved roads. Must be very bumpy in the back.
**Off Road for the trucks. Off-Roading anyone?
Aren't those the folks from "The Hills Have Eyes"?
How much damage did that road do and did you all bill for it?
Not a bit of damage on any of the apparatus that responded to my knowledge.
that is crazy would have thought there would be tons of scratches
Nothing a little rubbing compound can't take of.
That rig smooth-sailed through the trail like a boss.
Steven J. Feuerstein votes Trump/Pence 2016 that was tight on that trail good job brothers
is there GPS for areas like this , or are you expected to know the area inside and out?
deme7063 Honestly for a situation like that we have to rely on our own knowledge of the area. We all have experience of the roads all over our first due but some do know more than others. If worse comes to worst we just ask dispatch.
Eagle Rock Volunteer Fire Dept. this one looks like it maybe a total loss from what camera shows. Is there ever a situation when you would respond but not extinguish a fire, say like in freezing weather or when its not worth the risk to your crew?
deme7063 Most of the time we atleast do defensive to go ahead and take control as quickly as possible no matter the size to simply eliminate the problem and protect any exposures but thats mainly up to the commanding officer on that run. Plus you have things like fire rated gun/ valuable safes that we can still save and other "fire resistant" objects like that, plus on this one in particular there were three visible propane tanks inside that we kept cool. Then of course we do always make sure to look at the appropriate risk factor for what we have as well.
14:36 This is america
Eagle Rock great town great people
So what that a 2 mile supply lay
dylan Williams had an engine company supply from the last creek crossing
Old man flicks a lit cig to the ground 🤦♂️
Thats a long drive
All wheel drive?
Coleman 273 yes sir
Eagle Rock Volunteer Fire Dept. just like ours. Greetings from Hershey PA
Charge that home owner for a new paint job on that truck and any other truck that got scratched up
What a driveway omg how dangerous was that
Jesus Loves You
That road got narrower and narrower. An implied "No trucks" sign. I've had nightmares about driving down a road like that and not being able to turn around, end up backing out for an hour or so. Let's have a beer and watch the house burn. I like their style for the owners.
Should we say new paint job!
Wow, I've been on some meth labby calls, but holy moley.
Drinking beer and watching house burn. At 15:05 a figure like ghost floats over the people standing there.
Talk about out in the sticks. Sorry but I would NOT drive down a road like that. Not scratching my rig up. Call for an air drop or brush truck lol
14 minutes of responded to the middle of no where lol
13:36 thank me............................ um later
Making meth in the woods.
