Office of Emergency Services. What happens is fire agencies will sign a deal with the state for these engines (they have type 1, 2, 3 and 6 engines), the deal is that these agencies can use these engines at anytime for local use (most use them as reserve engines). When the state activates them they must be on the road within 1 hour of being activated with the local staffing.
Fire reignited couple days later and I believe another 100-125 acres. Not sure on the exact amount. For this area that’s mostly farmland a fire that size is big.
It actually isn’t a waste it’s more distinctive compared to a medic or police unit it also makes it louder making the signal the rig is big. Let it up to the fleet how about instead of commenting on a video go complain to fleet.
@@californiafiredepartmentvideos it’s literally the same size as a type 1 ambulance and I didn’t dislike your video, I was just making a comment that’s it. I think type 6’s look silly with mechanical sirens, also they’re expensive
I love that last Type 6 grass unit from West Stanislaus...cool design.
San Mateo County has five OES type 6 engines as well.
CCFD, San Bruno and who else ?
@@AnthonyG13EmergencyVideos SSF FD, Central County, and San Mateo has two.
@@viperq I know San Mateo station 27 has a type 2 but where is the other ? I didn't even know we had a type 6
Great catches ! I caught an almost identical type 6 rig responding with the same Timberwolf siren.
Its a Screaming Eagle, Timberwolfs have a different pitch
@@SilverFolfMedia are you sure ?
@@AnthonyG13EmergencyVideos Yeah, also the Timberwolf isn’t around anymore.
@@SilverFolfMedia gotcha. Your right
OES 👀
Chief! Chief!...the other way...go towards the smoke!
oes??

There California office of emergency services the departemnt buys the rigs from them and that departemnt uses them
30 acres isn't huge.

That's not a big fire!
According to the uploader to someone else who said the same thing... It reignited the next day, and it was upped to 100-150 acres.
@@shaneharrisnj3484 still not big
State money wasted on mechanical sirens
How is it a waste?
Obviously not a Firefighter!!!
Approximately $200k to outfit every unit, that’s roughly the cost of 1 more rig
