That’s something I’ll never understand. A dept as money for all these custom trucks, engines, tankers, walk-in rescue, and trucks but can’t find a way to have paid ff’s. In my county, dept is combination. The best they can hope for are commercial demo trucks and one man on each truck. They’re still rocking ford cab over tankers.
Here's something to remember and understand about municipal fire departments, buildings and apparatus are expensive, but they're a cost that happens one time. The most expensive item are the paid people. Salaries, health care benefits, retirements represent a HUGE investment. And it's a budget line item EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Fire Stations last 40-50+ years and apparatus ( depending on call volume) last 10-15 years, then go to reserve status for 5 years or so.

@@mwi7046 also depends on if there’s a need for full time FF. The town I grew up in never needed them we had 1 full time FF per 48hr shift. And all the rest were paid on call “(volunteer)”. They would respond direct to the scene. And it’s worked ever since I was a kid
This is my towns fire department and I can’t thank you guys enough for saving all of the lives of the people in towns big fire. I know there is a fire right now too so be careful
Why can't more departments learn to drop a supply line from the main road and leave space for Ladder Truck. Great job guy's. Outstanding training video.
Nice response and well coordinated. So many of the responses I see, it's always an after thought to connect to a hydrant. These guys took care of that right away. Plus, the aerial was positioned BEFORE anything got out control, unlike other videos of departments that only engage AFTER the fire is almost out of control. NICE JOB Union Fire.
I saw “wood shop fire” and thought “hmmm that could be interesting.” Then I saw y’all pull out realizing that’s Oxford, PA! I used to live there and go through that intersection daily! Thank you for all you do!
Thought it was Oxford mass for a minute . this oughta be good. Heard of Oxford pa but nice job on the knock down also what a ride 2 scene 👍. it’s where I started my career as a firefighter, Oxford mass 1986 birthplace Clara BARTON👨🏻🚒🇺🇸
My last FD response was a lumberyard/ industral complex fire . It took up an entire city block and was a mutual aid call from a neighboring town . You could see huge solid clouds of black smoke and 300’ fireballs from 15 miles away . I was on our ladder truck - crew of only 2 - watching this , as we’re headed to fight it - which is an interesting experience. The entire block was on fire and high voltage Powerlines ringed the area , so we pulled behind another truck and as we were setting the tormentors , a 250 gal propane tank Blevied about 200 ft away . Luckily the end caps were not facing us , it rolled across the ground and rose into a flaming mushroom cloud . We lobbed water into the area as we couldn’t enter . When we did , it looked like a scene from a war movie . We found hose from the local department, when they abandoned their attack - ironically the station was across the street. One thing about firefighting, you’ll see things most people never will .
The company l use to run with was volunteer we had a pierce rescue pierce engine and a seagraves 95 ft tower ladder we were very lucky our township bought nice equipment
That is a far ass drive man. This is exactly why I have my own 500g storage system with pump and hoses. My things would be burned down and spreading into the forest by the time the trucks arrived at my place.
Always the case,The firemen bust their butts dealing with the situation and then they have all the apparatus to pick up,clean,and put away.Sometimes they get lucky and have a relief crew to help out.Thank a firefighter when you see one for all that they do.
@@hunterleite9923 I saw a long hose lay being coiled up by probies and explorers. I was told they probies and explorers are useful. I didn’t say only probies and explorers clean up, maybe they bear the brunt of a long hose lay.
@@jeffjohnsisland5551the hell are you talking about? This isn't the 50' s or even the 80's No one here and anywhere in this Tri-State area is running Junior firefighters for clean-up of hose and other equipment. Most to almost all of these Volunteer fire companies are Combination ran with primarily 18 and over manpower.
The 5” coming from the hydrant looks like it was hooked into a “direct tank fill” (back compartment). And the 5” coming off the discharge runs around the back of the ladder, possibly a supply line for the ladder. Just what I can gather from that.
Sounds fun… I’m with yantic fire I drive engine 33 we had car vs tree wires down field detector medical and now a service call I’ve went to all the calls… sometimes I feel like we do more work then the rest of the departments someone just said that’s a very nice voice on the radio to me what do I say???
If there’s another truck, and they can drive/they have a driver…they usually take that other truck. If there’s no room or no other drivers and their help isn’t required they may just stay at the station.
Not sure about this county but the city my boss works for they have personal crew vehicles with lights and siren.. sometimes the driver will go to the scene by themself and all other firefighters meet up there.
It was and absolute waste of time to lay that supply line and put up an aerial. They barely have any smoke showing. Looked like a can could put that out.

To be a volunteer company,they have some nice trucks.

If you don't have a large commercial tax base you'll have volunteer departments.

Yay a driver seat view. We don’t very often here on UA-cam get to see a driver seat view of a response for that alone I like this video.

Great video, thanks for sharing!

Never thought id see someone local
Engine crew took off
Long run
Do you ever run mutual aid into Maryland?
Yes
On left
great video
Video of what??
Was the 5” hooked into a discharge?
yes it was.

Not one ground ladder thrown!!!
Where hell fire
No header visible yet
Good putting the stick up even if it isn't jobtown this time. Free practice! Helluva drive though, how wide of a district is this?
92 square miles of first due coverage
92 square miles. Largest area in Chester County. Pa.

Your not driving any fire apparatus.

What happens if a fireman gets left behind at the station.
If there’s another truck, and they can drive/they have a driver…they usually take that other truck. If there’s no room or no other drivers and their help isn’t required they may just stay at the station.
@@EmberRoseGaming They usually have personal vehicles with lights and sirens.

@@locdogwitd9 I’m apart of a volunteer department. Both of our answers are correct! Thanks for the input!
Hello I am a volunteer and I wanted to ask you what type of helmet can you have
Fire way out there need tanker task force
Why, they had a hydrant at the entrance to the property? 🤔🤷🏻♂️
Was it just two engines and tanker responded
Did you not see the aerial ladder???
Did I miss something ??
I never even saw smoke!
at 12:51 you can see smoke.It's probably in the insulation.
@@tomt9543
The amount of time it took, I thought there woud be nothing left but a pile of ash. Is this a volunteer FD?
It was and absolute waste of time to lay that supply line and put up an aerial. They barely have any smoke showing. Looked like a can could put that out.
We say firefighter in Australia as so many volunteers are women.
Why do you guys just sit in the station with your lights flashing? I don't get the point of that.
Waiting on other fireman to show up.
Hard to watch. All that jiggling of the camera.
I am sorry ur not even a man
Yawn.
All i can say is WOW, kinda boring. Sorry fellas.....😮
This was boring
That has to be one of the slowest crew I’ve seen in a while tell me why would you have to set up the truck when it’s only a two story building DAH
SOPs, and made a training op out of it also
Even 2 story buildings have roofs……if it has to be ventilated it is safer to work off of the aerial.
Smart tactics. You deal with what you have now, and plan for what you could have in an hour.
I’m sure you can do better in your mom’s basement on a computer game.
