@@RealJeep And there are some Volunteer companies that run circles around paid companies with call volume and performance. Don't act like your so special.
They were really looking online when ordering it, were going like: “Double Roto-Rays? Gotta have that *click*” “Blacked out? Yes please *click*” “Everything else? God yes. *click*”
Glad the community supports this organization as all the excess on this truck that doesn't really have any functionality. Waiting to see the first truck with triple roto rays and double Q s with train horns
Mount Horeb in Wisconsin ran dual Q sirens on their rigs for years. There's gotta be close to an extra $20k in emergency lighting on the front of that rig alone. Standard NFPA lighting requirments work just fine. I used to sell Pierce apparatus, there is actually an option called the "Maryland Package" for emergency lighting on front to include Roto Rays, MARs lights, etc. it's ridiculous.
Love the color! Nice looking apparatus. This is a fantastic looking non-walk- through rescue! As was stated by a few people regarding needing the roto-rays, as well as other customization, my response to you is when you buy one of these and write/ sign the check, then you can outfit it as you see fit! Nice job Pierce and good luck Walkersville!!👍🏽🇺🇸
So they are a volunteer department. Volunteer departments usually get NO taxpayer money. They do fundraisers, like a carnival and that's their income. So I'd say they can order any thing they want, it's their money. And they do their community a GREAT service. I know, I've been a volunteer for over 40 years, and my department runs all Pierce equipment, the best made.
That's a gorgeous looking truck....love the color and design enhancements. I like Roto-Rays...so two excites me a lot. Can't wait to see all the lights turned up.
Cherry, good to see you are still hard at it. Ben a looong time since I was a member there. Great to see a big new Rescue24Squad. Glad to see rear steer on that beast, I was wondering where the Tiller would sit LOL. You all stay safe down there. God Bless...
Please make another video show casing all the lighting functionality and features please. And even a compare and contrast video to the truck that this one replaces!
Only fluff I would have added is two more Roto-Rays on the front of the truck. Anything with light and motion that can get a driver’s attention is a big help. Amazing how many people pull out in front of emergency vehicles every day. This is one nice toolbox.
Sure they do but it's regardless of how many whoopie lights you have on your vehicle, they'll pull out because they are not paying attention. So keep adding lights and they'll still pull out in front of you.
@@jameshawk1877 all of the show stuff has nothing to do with life safety. Actually they could have brought more life safety equipment for a lot of the show stuff on this rig . This is a volunteer department. I think I would have opted for full time personnel instead of this truck honestly.
@@jameshawk1877 I think the biggest problem is they opted for a ton of cosmetic options that have nothing to do with the performance of the apparatus or its crew. Those options aren’t cheap and probably made this piece far more expensive than it needed to be.
Well if you are gonna do two Roto-Rays, why not 6 of them? You could have one pointing up for the helicopters to see. You could have one in the rear, all amber to warn incoming traffic.
I used to be a volunteer firefighter for Prince Georges county. I am a fan of the heavy rescue squad, but I am not a fan of the 300 gallon water that you carry on the rescue squad. I get it. Every department is different and every need is different different. When I was with PGFD. a truck company was a truck company a engine company was a engine company a heavy rescue company was a rescue company no cross breed equipment 😊😮
I was never a fan of a "wet squad". Now, iirc back in the 50's,60's, Cottage City had a Seagrave sedan style squad that was "wet". I was a member there 93 to 2000.👍🇺🇸
@@happycommentator6773 I was young when I join Station six and Prince Georges County. It’s funny now because my mother she did not want to sign the paperwork for me to be volunteer.

Anyone get the feels that this is just a “look at how much we spent!” video? My local department never seems to have enough, or so they say. Keep getting raises, new tucks, etc… when is enough, enough?
@@562K1NG LOL I've got 30 yrs in Fire/EMS, buddy. My training tells me I don't need a rolling Vagas light show to alert me to move over. Sounds like you got a case of Trigger-itress. 🤣
Two Roto-Rays seems to be a substitute for Viagra. I have found one of these to be blinding to oncoming traffic especially when combined with headlight flashers. This will not be twice as effective at making the idiots on the road move over more often. They're all in their own universe. Good luck, ladies and gentlemen!
Spinning roto rays have to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen on the front of a fire apparatus. Especially in this day and age when we have so many better options to choose from.
That pump and tank is damn near useless and you could do all those things with an engine. This screams volunteer = all the budget goes to rigs since there’s no payroll
Pierce sales rep sees a volunteer department coming, straight away pulls out the rotators.
lolololo. true. stoopid vollys
Do you mean roto rays because there are no rotators
The warm water decon and rinse was a fantastic idea. Nice job thinking outside the box.
I can't wait to see a response video with all the lights on
Causing another twenty accidents besides the one they were responding to because oncoming traffic gets blinded.
🙄
well might be hard to catch, they only get 3 runs a year
@@tvb3265 We ran 3 runs before dinner. Big difference between a vollies parade rig and a working rig.

was looking forward to this one ever since I saw the first pic on Facebook!
Can't wait to see it in person soon!

Amazing pierce velocity
That is super iconic 😳

They must have an unlimited budget indeed!!
I know they have awesome carnivals every year
glad to see it's well spent
they also have q's and rotorays on the ambulance's
Nice Rescue, United's going too be pretty jealous
I'll say!
Im in love with this fire truck it's awesome🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Nice truck! Well thought out and laid out.
Reminds me of Wheaton Rescue Company #2 Old Spirit of 76 truck.

This is a very nice rig..........I wish the city of Newburgh had one of those
You live in the city if newburgh in Orange County?!?
@@mcfishfillet yeah
Very nice rig I’m really impressed with it
Looks more like a Shuttle or RocketShip 😄 Awesome 😎
When you don’t have a budget!!! And nobody is checking!!
It's amazing what you can order when you do have a budget.
@@rolandmiller5456it’s a nice truck . With absolutely everything and extra. Just seems a bit much for taxpayers. But hopefully it will serve them well

When you go into Pierce pulse and click every option! Kudos to them fitting them all in this rig.
It would be cool to nap in the back of that truck. FDIC better check to make sure im not back there when the lights go out for the night!
Exactly how much money was spent building this mobile piece of art,beautiful truck
Nice!
Beautiful truck, but I think this guy needs some oxygen!

Hands down the best Fire apparatus manufactured!!!
Is that a train horn at the bottom of the bumper?
Yes!
Personally, I love the lights on it, but I think it needs more ITS NEEDS MORE
Does it have dual Drones with multiple capabilities 😮

Hi @@grahamkent2122, stay tuned the new delivery posting will be published this week!
Thank you
Want To See A Video Of It Responding
you wont...it never gets out
@@nickw1861 How often does it respond?
I really hope this will be in Harrisburg 😉
Is it in service yet?
Damn I Cant Believe They Got It Fixed That Fast Caz They Crashed It Just Before
Double Roto-Ray Baby.
How often would this truck actually be used to its full capability?
Probably most of the time
Who makes those wheels?
Alcoa makes a black wheel, but I'm not sure if these are theirs.
What we have here is an unlimited budget. That's a lot of bake sales.
Anyone else notice the "DEF FLUID ONLY" sticker? 🤣🤣🤣 Iykyk
And now the question; for it's price will it last as much as a good old Mack??
None of these newer apparatus last more than 10 years, but Pierce still makes the best in my opinion.
Anyone get the feels that this is just a “look at how much we spent!” video? My local department never seems to have enough, or so they say. Keep getting raises, new tucks, etc… when is enough, enough?
That is a beautiful truck. I wonder how much that baby cost
Definitely well over 1 million.
I figured at least a million if not a little more. That truck is beautiful
Homeboy has 3 pillow orthopnea and needs some BIPAP.
He's breathing like he just finished a marathon.
You CAN have too much cow bell!
Walkersville, Fredrick county Maryland is a very wealthy area
They can afford to hire professional firefighters then and stop using pretend ones.
Why the heck would you need TWO Rotoray's?? One is annoying enough!
I think it needs 4 total, personally.
because it tells people like YOU to get tf out of the way while your having your ego bruised by them telling you to move to go save lives😂😂😂
@@562K1NG LOL I've got 30 yrs in Fire/EMS, buddy. My training tells me I don't need a rolling Vagas light show to alert me to move over. Sounds like you got a case of Trigger-itress. 🤣
Dual rotorays. What a bunch of wackers
Not a fan of pump/water. Use a 70 gallon CAFS system, much smaller. The pump and hose took up an entire compartment
As long as they have room for what they need it doesn’t matter but say you need more storage for something else that would be better in some cases
The rig looks good but your breathing is something to question
?😮😊

Ridiculous rig. What’s his resting heart rate?
Dude's breathing like he just finished a marathon.
This was an amazing rescue until I found out that it has a pump.
Not a fan of the double rotoray, or that ugly replacement for mars lights... or the lion decals on the sides
are you a firefighter go visit a station and see what it realy menans
@@johancoetzee1225 My entire channel is based around visiting fire stations 💀
@@bm7151ok but why mone about a new truck with a new look?

Yes walkersville is a volly squad
Massive waste of taxpayer resources.
I hope it fits in the firehouse
It should, this replaces an older Pierce Quantum they had.
