What's INSIDE a BEST Kept SECRET of the North

- Welcome back to another exciting episode of Station Cribs! In this episode, Heroes Next Door takes you on a journey to the picturesque town of Hubbell, nestled in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Hubbell is a small but resilient community that sits proudly above 70% of our Canadian neighbors and about 40 miles from the stunning coast of Lake Superior, making it one of the most remote locations in the lower 48 states. Hubbell Michigan was a key location for the success of America starting in the era of the First World War, with the mining of copper.
In Hubbell, a team of dedicated volunteer firefighters, numbering 20 strong, stands ready to respond to calls for help in all types of weather. And trust us when we say, they face some extreme weather conditions - an average of 300 inches of snowfall each year! These unsung heroes primarily respond to calls from their homes or workplaces, averaging just 20-30 service calls annually. You might wonder why they even need a fire station, but when you consider the vast geographical area they cover, you'll understand that every minute counts in saving lives and property.
Join us as we meet the incredible men and women who make up the Hubbell Fire Service. These community members wear many hats - from maintenance workers to skilled butchers and jacks of all trades - but they all come together when their town needs them most.
While Hubbell's firehouse may not be the biggest, newest, or roomiest, it radiates an undeniable spirit, drive, and determination to keep their small town safe. The station houses its equipment, though it's a tight squeeze. The apparatus might be hand-me-downs from other stations, but the Hubble team treats them with the utmost respect and care.
We were truly honored and privileged to tour this station and meet the incredible individuals who keep it running smoothly. Their pride and dedication extend beyond emergency response; they even compete in local and state parades and firefighter challenges, consistently bringing home multiple trophies.
But the excitement doesn't stop there! In 2024, Hubbell will host the 70th Copper County Firefighters Tournament on June 22nd. It's a significant event that we're looking forward to, and we hope to see you there too. Mark your calendars and show your support for these brave men and women who keep Hubble safe.

@16:37 the Guys one boss telling him he had no problem with him leaving for calls , under one stipulation , that he returns to work safely , is one of the coolest things I ever heard a boss tell a volunteer firefighter , it conveys , no problem and that the boss loves his worker and wants him to be safe , different kind of people up there I guess . Total respect for a community like that !
Thanks for coming to the UP! I hope you did some other fire departments during your visit! I’m the Mayor of Ishpeming, if you ever come back here, let me know and I’ll try and hook you up!
Love your videos!
Great job Hubbel! Love that you are keeping the old trucks going!
-Jason from Ishpeming
I think this was well done. I fell it showed the pride small towns take in their heroes and fire departments. Great job Hubbel Fire Department.
Love this Hubell Fire Department!👨🚒🚒🔥
Did he say 18-20 calls a year 🤣
Awesome station tour love it by the way your Yellow Rescue rig Engine 3 the Air Port truck was in my state of Maryland used by our Fort Detrick Army Base as there foam Engine 503 nice to see it again glad your putting it to good use up there In Michigan God Bless
Thanks for watching
The Veteran's memorial was a beautiful surprise. It was so well done.
2003 HME/Central States, hale pump. It's my old FDs pumper. It was one of 2 that they ran
Oh really! So you were on Milton Fire in New York?
She's a beautiful rig and seems to serve Hubell well.
@@johngrathoff6854 I was....for Abt 13 yrs. This was ETA 533 the replaced the old Ford cab over that is sitting at gas monkey garage in TX
I can guarantee you that the guy showing him around that the back of his hat says first in, last out
Actually it doesn't
Could I possibly make one small suggestion for videos that I've noticed in several past videos along with this one?
Many times the firefighters will be talking about something and showing you, but the camera never pans over to what it is they're showing. Example in this one being when the young gentleman was showing the back of the bays and the lockers, etc.
Just something small I've noticed in several videos.
But love them and the channel, mate! Keep rockin! 🚒
Go troll elsewhere. Karen.
Should do a Station cribs of either City or Town of Beloit WI. Or both!
300 in of snow holy cow in Alabama we are lucky to get one in
90 degrees for that part of Michigan in Summer?? That could be unbearable!!!! Where I’m at in Texas, we’d be thinking a cold front came through!!!
We get the occasional odd day like that in summer thanks to large amounts of humidity, but it switches in the blink of an eye come this time of year.
18 to 20 calls a YEAR?! That can't be right.
Rural area in the U P
You should do a Canadian fire department
@user-zr3bp1vd5b Hey troll, clearly you know nothing about this channel. He needs to be invited, before filming at a station.
Canadian paramedic here. should do a series on Canadian paramedic services
Why do i feel like this is a space station fire department lol
Michigang!!
Was this video reupload look familiar
@jacobpawelek6442 Instead of worrying about this video, maybe you shout get yourself an education. Learn to speak properly.
Great video and Great Equipment with a Nice Firehouse.
Thank you
Its made by Central not HME
whens the south metro videos coming soon:(
There is 48 states in the lower U.S
Alaska and Hawaii are off on there own the other 48 states of the USA are together
Yep we know. That’s why it’s in the description
He messed up and said 49, god forbid someone makes a mistake.
Same video as a week ago...
Yes but without the errors
@grandtheftautotune7715 No sh&$ Sherlock. He made corrections.
I think he uploaded this too early that it’s back up
Yeah there was a 10 minute error last week I needed to fix
@@HeroesNextDoor could you do Ada Township fire department just east of Grand Rapids Michigan?
22 calls a year????
Yeah…that’s what happens when you have a fire station in a very secluded low populated area. 🤔
That's a lot for that area.
There's a department in Wisconsin that gets less then that simply due to the physical position of their station. Some departments get very few calls all year, and some get swamped. Nature of the job.
So9sud
C'est tellement drôle de voir la réaction des gens quand tu leur dis que vivre l'hiver avec 300 + cm de neige qui nous tombent sur la tête en 3 mois qu'il n'y a absolument rien là. 😂
It's so funny to see people's reaction when you tell them that living in winter with 300 + cm of snow falling on our heads in 3 months that there is absolutely nothing there. 😂
Next time PLEASE for dear God don't use that music track OR turn it WAY down!
@lovedfriend2020 Oh calm down Karen! You don’t like it, don’t watch it. It’s not your channel!!
@@johnlebzelter4208that’s true I like the music
@@Americanstripes269 Your comment makes no sense. She is saying she doesn’t like the music. Can’t you read?
This was a painful to watch
Why's that
