Normally I would agree about the new firefighter, but with the Pratt family I think it would be a bit job to get them out of the family company. Tho with out a doubt they would be supported in the line of work as a fire fighter/ems/leo...
This was great to see everyone working together and everyone cooperating. Great training. It’s good to see how towing companies should always be involved with the training since you are always on scene with fire rescue teams. It was good to see Talon, your daughter and grandchildren
Incredible job ron! So eerie to think as to what happened to those vehicles back then and knowing it is definitely possible to have similar wrecks to your recreations
There is nothing better than teamwork. Having the proper training to do the jobs safely is also important. Congrats on well done jobs Ron. God Bless You Guys and all that you do.
Ron it's always been a blessing to have mutal aid working so close together. I was a volunteer firefighter and have seen just about everything I always enjoyed working with other departments. Stay Safe guys 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸🙏
same here i am retired FF small town low call volume but we regularly trained with our surrounding mutual aid dept. for instance we had all dry hydrants(just pretty much large pipe going into a pond or lake) in our town and most our surrounding towns as we were rural but a few had water systems and had normal hydrants so we trained on hooking to both in the rare instance we needed to
I have always loved to see how they work as a team from tow,fd,leo and each of them speak up to take charge as needed on a call.... Love seeing the training to keep that bond at it's peak.
Morning Mr Ron love the training video you all make sure everyone stays safe with communication. Prayers for all involved in the training and their family
It’s good to see all the different agencies working and training together. Your grandson got personal tour of the fire truck. And even us adults turn into children around fire trucks.. Love the video. 👍✌️
Ron you could get a good used rescue squad and equip it for heavy truck type accidents and rescues when needed. That way the tater would have more room and you would have the room you need for some of your more heavy type equipment as well or get a good used box ambulance and equip that instead. Just an idea..
A heavy-duty truck with utility bed would do the job. Call it a "Tender". And, it would be good for more than just crash scenes. He has utilized the Traffic Control unit for this, but it frequently needs to be out a ways. The Tender would be able to get in closer, because it would also be fitted with a winch, or two. He does seem to keep is toolboxes or compartments full!
I'm glad to see that that was a training exercise, lol because what I saw in the thumbnail, it looked like something really major. Hello, Talon! Good to see you still around. God bless you and may He keep you safe.
i think being brought up doing this type of work ethan knows you have to be cool calm and collected to get the job done if you rush or panic you can make major mistakes because you are not thinking clearly and that could lead to major injury and/or death
Ron and everyone at Midwest truck and all emergency personnel this was awesome training I believe everyone in the US fire wrecker ems police should do more training hands on and it made me get tears in my eyes when your grandkids were in fire truck I used to do that when I was your grandsons age glad he enjoyed the fire truck
That's awesome to see you and the fire department work so well together that's what it takes team work not just people trying to run the show and tell others what or how to do things you all did a helluva job working together awesome job!!!
Awesome training video!!! Miss my Ambulance Crop days, with rescues. Did that for 11 years on a volunteer squad. Had one call with a 240Z with the wrap around seats, just strapped the victim into the seat and took the seat and all to the hospital to make sure the victim was stable. Again awesome job, guys!!!!!!!
Hey Ron, your grandson might've just given the engineers at Miller Industries their next R&D project...a fire engine with a wrecker bed grafted on the back! As always, be safe and God bless you, your crew and your equipment!
Excellent job and thank you for helping them in this important training exercise. Training for the unexpected is so important. Way back in 1987 and over the next two years the county head of disaster services held several drills that brought together agencies from not only the city, county and state but agencies from the entire tri-state area. Drills ranged from a wide body jet crashing at our regional airport (That was only served by small jets and turbo props) to the Missouri flooding, and a train hitting a tanker truck that they 'discovered' was carrying nuclear waste upon arrival on scene. Needless to say local media had a heyday with the last one but almost exactly two years to the day of the plane crash scenario United 232 slammed into the runway here. Countless lives were saved because of the procedures that were developed from that drill. All the responding agencies knew their rolls that day and remarkably 184 people survived the crash.
Pretty cool to see everyone helping and working together. Awesome training for everyone. Communication is definitely key with everything going on at one time. Job well done on both side.
It looks like those struts would be more stable if they could put a chain from the top of the strut over the tanker to the bottom of the opposite strut on the other side on both sides than the tops couldn't move side to side. Good job guys.👍👍👍👍
That was great! Anyone involved in helping and rescuing others should have cross-training together. Hey, Talon! So good to see your daughter and grandchildren. So nice of the Chief to show your grandson the truck.
Ron I have been going through a tough time recently and I wanted to say I love your content. It has helped take my mind off of things and for that I thank you.
This is fantastic! It's always best to trial and error in training vs doing it while lives are at stake. It's always beneficial to cross train. So as a result, they would know what the others are doing or about to do and actually be helpful or know when to not help. Ron's videos showcase that many times. Years ago, I witnessed a motorcyclist fly off the road into a sort of ravine that leads to the ditch. There were just me and another truck driver, initially. Both of us had training but when more people arrived, It was chaotic and it caused confusion. Police arrived almost immediately. Only police, the first guy and myself were active. The rest stood and got in the way. It wasn't until FD arrived when we could back off. The motorcyclist was seriously injured but he survived. So, the training sessions like in this video is exactly what you want to see happen. You don't want chaos or confusion.
1:01:30 The idea of that chain lift rig is good, but it's too light duty. I'd want a strap or chain between the bases to keep them from sliding apart, and triangulation bracing to stop them from leaning out from the load. There's just too many directions the masts can move.
They did have a strap between bases, I think the problem is the tank is slung between them so it can rotate. Where as Ron is picking from two points so he can control any roll.
Slow Down - Move Over . Last Call for Wadw Bivins , Tow Operator, Firefighter 🚒 , First Responder . R.I.P. SLOW DOWN MOVE OVER WHEN YOU SEE FLASHING LIGHTS. 😞😇
Correction his name was Wade Bivins of Columbia Illinois hit by a driver who did not move over , he was getting his tie down straps out left box storage. He was an active firefighter too. 🚒
Fantastic video Ron. As a retired Emergency Management Coordinator this brings back memories and emotions as well. Thank You for the ability to watch all involved. I wish we had the equipment back in the day but we made it work. Being on the job full time for 21 years I can appreciate the hard work by all. Now if you can put the reality of stress into the scenario and see the difference in what trained men and women can do under the gun it would be interesting. As you well know SAFETY is the first priority. Again Thank You and your crew for some realistic and safe outcomes. God Bless you for what you do. Please tell Ethan to get a regular hat. It is so out of place on an emergency scene. Just saying...
We did some training with a fire department that had been very reluctant recently. Their town council wouldn't approve the expense even though it was just time and fuel for them. When they drove on the lot and seen what we had waiting for them the firemen got so excited to try everything. They never had an oppertunity to test thier skills and equipment in a place where there wasn't any pressure to perform. They always used the known safe techniques because they didn't have a chance to train new skills. They also got a chance to see what our equipment can do and how we can make their jobs safer and easier in some sistuations. Get their hands on tools they don't have. They where taking videos to show their council folks the stuff we did so they could get them to pay for more training. The company we work for saves abandoned vehicles and insurance write offs just to use for traning. We really don't lose anything on the cars, persay. We write off the fuel and hours from our on-going training budget and our guys get to count it as on-going training so they naturally want to volunteer to help. We're using an overflow property that is also for training not just our own guys but local emergency services as well. We don't charge them for anything. We consider it a form of giving back and advertisement. The advertisment bit is simply this: Every department that we bring in for training puts our phone number at the top of their to call list and they call it a lot more often after the training. That alone makes it worth the time and effort to do this from a business perspective. Beyond that, we as tow truck opperators get to learn new skills, and build lasting relationships within the emergency services ecosystem is a huge advantage in so many ways I can't list them all. I can't tell you how many police and firemen that stopped thinking about us as "just a towing company" once they see what our equipment is actually capable of doing. What tools we have, and the level of training we have. We earned their respect by showing them we deserve it, because to be honest there are a lot of people in our industry that could do better. I can't tell you how important it is do something like this for the communitites we serve.
Proof that while they, towing and recovery, are Second Responders*, they are still part of the team! Missouri's law permitting towing and recovery to run code needs to be extended to _all_ Second Responders, and repeated to _all_ fifty states and territories. Modify the law so the restrictions on when to run code can be lifted during declared disasters. *Please include utility troublemen and DOT. They are equally important.
It was interesting to see just how much room this took. I can't imagine trying to do that with that tanker on top of the car in a ditch on the side of the road. Thanks for sharing!
This video shows what I feel like is the perfect demonstration for how that equipment should be used: stabilizing until proper lifting equipment can arrive. Those struts seemed far too short of travel and too unstable to lift much. If they were fixed angle struts it might not have been as unstable as they wouldnt rock back and forth but then you'd need perfect setup positions. It also seems like those lifts wouldnt be usable or useful in an actual crash situation where access is limited side to side due to uneven ground, debris, etc.
It is nice to see how Missouri and its emergency personnel approach training and participate in training sessions. I wish we here in Washington state would have the same type of status and training with tow operators and emergency response personnel here.
as an added touch of realism, you could have water bottles with holes in the lids duct taped to the tanker in strategic locations "leaking toxic liquids", but in reality they're just dripping water.
Ron if You could set up a few cars, and trucks for a demonstration I think it would help Fire and Law Enforcement. Show them what sort of things You can do with the WesternStar and what more can be done with the Tator. Once they see a two truck mid-air roll they will start understanding that Good Wrecker Operator is an un-tapped resource. Have you a large Boxtruck to show them you can do a JellyRoll with just the rotator. Demonstrate to them you can work off the back, the corners, the sides, and the front of the Rotator, and point out the boom travels. Show them the outriggers full down planting the truck lifting her completely off the ground. Show them the pull points you can use to change direction. Demonstrate primary, secondary, and auxiliary winches letting them know the rating of each. Your trucks are capable and so are you and your crew.
I volunteered with EMS for 14 years. We practiced this all the time. One situation was a carload of teens flipped on a rainy night, trapped in power lines. We were graded on this as part of our CEU’s. I missed one thing. The medical ID bracelet.
Great video Ron,I wish that the Fire Department here in Muncie In would do these type of training. I am learning a lot of things from your training in case we ever need to use this type of thing ❤
This is how first responders act calm and collected at horrific crash scenes. Training when no victims lives are at risk makes for confidence when it’s really needed. EDIT: Please do post further sessions like this. I want to see how that motor home mess works out.
Hi Ron & Crew. I understand why your Company was invited to join them. From the majority of the faces I've seen. You've worked with a lit of them on various scenes before. Great job between your Company and the Fire Department. And as you'd said in the video earlier. It's best too find out in Training.
We do this about three times a year with all the fire departments. Our local scrap yard supplies us wit all the cars and let's us use their lot and equipment to set up the props.
Yeah saw a large group of cars and trks having a bad day. 30 miles and growing. I called it in to my dispatch since saw one of my companies trucks stopped. He had been parked for 2 hrs already. The 2 heavies on scene looked like they were on standy
Another great video brother! I was in the business for years. Watched your videos when I got to from my shift, also learned a lot from you. Funny thing, I still don't see or hear about any electric fire trucks or tow trucks. That's because it is ridiculous. Just had to say something about the "guy " who is called the president. What a joke. Stay blessed brother and always, stay safe 🙏
Such a different Tow company and recovery videos, more safety conscious and serious. Dont get me wrong, i really enjoy some of the off road recovery channels but any more the the off road recovery videos seem to take a back seat to actual recoveries and more about building off road vehicles and advertising everything from health drinks and lawyers to selling merchandise. As long as the content is good, they are all entertaining, and informative to watch. Rons videos could actually be used as training to teach people about recovery. Great job Ron and Crew!!
They may have those portiy pumps towards the back of the lifting items so they can see each other pumping at the same time and see if each other is still safe.
Huge props to the chief for showing your grandson around the rescue. Community engagement like that is what helps breed new firefighters!
Normally I would agree about the new firefighter, but with the Pratt family I think it would be a bit job to get them out of the family company. Tho with out a doubt they would be supported in the line of work as a fire fighter/ems/leo...
When I worked Fire & Rescue in Arkansas this is the training I loved doing, along with confined space rescues.
This was great to see everyone working together and everyone cooperating. Great training. It’s good to see how towing companies should always be involved with the training since you are always on scene with fire rescue teams. It was good to see Talon, your daughter and grandchildren
Good to see the family come out. Your grandsons are cuties Ron. Good to see Talon out there.
Incredible job ron! So eerie to think as to what happened to those vehicles back then and knowing it is definitely possible to have similar wrecks to your recreations
I really like this kind of video. It gives a real feel to the work you do with other teams in the resque. They came to your lot nice
There is nothing better than teamwork. Having the proper training to do the jobs safely is also important. Congrats on well done jobs Ron. God Bless You Guys and all that you do.
Good Morning There My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir & Have A Great & Wonderful Day Today
Thank You So Very Much There My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir

What a great service you provide to your community! Training that literally will save lives.
I have always loved to see how they work as a team from tow,fd,leo and each of them speak up to take charge as needed on a call.... Love seeing the training to keep that bond at it's peak.
Morning Mr Ron love the training video you all make sure everyone stays safe with communication. Prayers for all involved in the training and their family
It’s good to see all the different agencies working and training together.
Your grandson got personal tour of the fire truck. And even us adults turn into children around fire trucks..
Love the video.

@@JV-pu8kx I think the heavy-duty truck or old ambulance would be better for cost of fuel...
3:37 Normally Ron is fixing the mess, not causing it! 😂
who could set up the mess better if not the ones who have to work it on the daily?
Thanks for your Service 👍👏👍
I'm glad to see that that was a training exercise, lol because what I saw in the thumbnail, it looked like something really major.
Hello, Talon! Good to see you still around.
God bless you and may He keep you safe.
Absolutely love your channel.
You a Legend Mr Ron Pratt 😊
Hello Talon.
Again many thanks for sharing with us. Even more I cannot thank you enough for supporting your community as you do.
love your videos keep up the amazing work
its amazing the amount of community involvement
How do you level up from being Number One?
Absolutely awesome how well you work with local emergency services. Great training for all
Nice to see Talon for a change. I keep wondering what became of him. Only knows what's going on in Ethan's head, he seems so laid back.
i think being brought up doing this type of work ethan knows you have to be cool calm and collected to get the job done if you rush or panic you can make major mistakes because you are not thinking clearly and that could lead to major injury and/or death
Agreed bout talon. Ived asked but got no response which is fine. Ron has a life outside youtube and thats ok with me
Ron and everyone at Midwest truck and all emergency personnel this was awesome training I believe everyone in the US fire wrecker ems police should do more training hands on and it made me get tears in my eyes when your grandkids were in fire truck I used to do that when I was your grandsons age glad he enjoyed the fire truck
Good job Ron at showing us the sean training that goes on. Thank you.
That's awesome to see you and the fire department work so well together that's what it takes team work not just people trying to run the show and tell others what or how to do things you all did a helluva job working together awesome job!!!

Hey Ron, your grandson might've just given the engineers at Miller Industries their next R&D project...a fire engine with a wrecker bed grafted on the back!
As always, be safe and God bless you, your crew and your equipment!
20:44 Ron, that thunk was everything. lol… Also, was nice to see Talon, he’s been missed dearly. Yall keep up the awesome work.
Hey Talon great to see yah
Really appreciate your commitment to the community!!!!
Keep up the good work. May the Lord look after both of y'all .🎏✌️👍
It's nice to have these training, new equipment new ideas.

love the teamwork ron pratt
Love seeing training like this with multiple departments taking part. Everyone learns from the others.
It looks like those struts would be more stable if they could put a chain from the top of the strut over the tanker to the bottom of the opposite strut on the other side on both sides than the tops couldn't move side to side. Good job guys.👍👍👍👍
Very interesting, thank you. Grandkids are so cute. What a blessing ❤.
That was great! Anyone involved in helping and rescuing others should have cross-training together. Hey, Talon! So good to see your daughter and grandchildren. So nice of the Chief to show your grandson the truck.
Good use for abandoned vehicles love it

Slow Down - Move Over . Last Call for Wadw Bivins , Tow Operator, Firefighter 🚒 , First Responder . R.I.P.
SLOW DOWN MOVE OVER WHEN YOU SEE FLASHING LIGHTS. 😞😇
I do it for _anyone_ and _everyone_ on the side of the road!
Correction his name was Wade Bivins of Columbia Illinois hit by a driver who did not move over , he was getting his tie down straps out left box storage. He was an active firefighter too. 🚒
This is really interesting. It was really cool of them to allow you guys to join in, as well as setup the whole event.
I always like how you do the training with different community departments. And the crew working with them
The chief, showing your grandson, the fire truck and letting him get up and there is awesome. Nothing better than that.
Fantastic video Ron. As a retired Emergency Management Coordinator this brings back memories and emotions as well. Thank You for the ability to watch all involved.

I like how you let Ethan practice on the rotator during training. He was active and exhibited interest and enthusiasm. Nice job guys!
Great training day for the fire department. Fantastic effort on your part for the a great scenario for the training.
Good morning Ron and crew, and hello Talon.
I really enjoy watching the more technical aspects of recovery
Great job with the training. Cool seeing the interaction with the chief and your grandkids.
Awesome training video the could be helpful for training courses all over the program
I watching your videos and I have my bells on your videos and I'm subscribed to your videos and 👍 🙏
Awesome job by all… Would be neat to see some crash test dummies in the cars to make it somewhat more realistic as well…
Amazing training video. I really do miss the recovery industry
We did some training with a fire department that had been very reluctant recently. Their town council wouldn't approve the expense even though it was just time and fuel for them. When they drove on the lot and seen what we had waiting for them the firemen got so excited to try everything. They never had an oppertunity to test thier skills and equipment in a place where there wasn't any pressure to perform. They always used the known safe techniques because they didn't have a chance to train new skills. They also got a chance to see what our equipment can do and how we can make their jobs safer and easier in some sistuations. Get their hands on tools they don't have. They where taking videos to show their council folks the stuff we did so they could get them to pay for more training.
The company we work for saves abandoned vehicles and insurance write offs just to use for traning. We really don't lose anything on the cars, persay. We write off the fuel and hours from our on-going training budget and our guys get to count it as on-going training so they naturally want to volunteer to help. We're using an overflow property that is also for training not just our own guys but local emergency services as well. We don't charge them for anything. We consider it a form of giving back and advertisement.
The advertisment bit is simply this: Every department that we bring in for training puts our phone number at the top of their to call list and they call it a lot more often after the training. That alone makes it worth the time and effort to do this from a business perspective.
Beyond that, we as tow truck opperators get to learn new skills, and build lasting relationships within the emergency services ecosystem is a huge advantage in so many ways I can't list them all. I can't tell you how many police and firemen that stopped thinking about us as "just a towing company" once they see what our equipment is actually capable of doing. What tools we have, and the level of training we have. We earned their respect by showing them we deserve it, because to be honest there are a lot of people in our industry that could do better.
I can't tell you how important it is do something like this for the communitites we serve.
Proof that while they, towing and recovery, are Second Responders*, they are still part of the team! Missouri's law permitting towing and recovery to run code needs to be extended to _all_ Second Responders, and repeated to _all_ fifty states and territories. Modify the law so the restrictions on when to run code can be lifted during declared disasters.
*Please include utility troublemen and DOT. They are equally important.
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Ron, you need one of those big, fuzzy wind socks over the microphone! At least, in this "emergency," there are no overhead wires to worry about!
Really great video! So many people don't realize what it takes to do your job safely!
It was interesting to see just how much room this took. I can't imagine trying to do that with that tanker on top of the car in a ditch on the side of the road. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing.. was a learning curve for all 😊
Good Morning Ron and crew
It is nice to see how Missouri and its emergency personnel approach training and participate in training sessions. I wish we here in Washington state would have the same type of status and training with tow operators and emergency response personnel here.
as an added touch of realism, you could have water bottles with holes in the lids duct taped to the tanker in strategic locations "leaking toxic liquids", but in reality they're just dripping water.
Ron if You could set up a few cars, and trucks for a demonstration I think it would help Fire and Law Enforcement. Show them what sort of things You can do with the WesternStar and what more can be done with the Tator. Once they see a two truck mid-air roll they will start understanding that Good Wrecker Operator is an un-tapped resource. Have you a large Boxtruck to show them you can do a JellyRoll with just the rotator. Demonstrate to them you can work off the back, the corners, the sides, and the front of the Rotator, and point out the boom travels. Show them the outriggers full down planting the truck lifting her completely off the ground. Show them the pull points you can use to change direction. Demonstrate primary, secondary, and auxiliary winches letting them know the rating of each. Your trucks are capable and so are you and your crew.
Hello Talon, nice to see you...
Hi Ron great training for your team and all fire team great to see Tallon and grandchildren
SO Cool, Much thanks Ron & Guys....
Why was the RV not cleaned out of Personal stuff ?
Would be interesting to know the back story.
Mike M.
Skid-steers are the modern VW Beetle. All the cool kids have at least one.
GREAT training Video!¡!! 😊
I volunteered with EMS for 14 years. We practiced this all the time. One situation was a carload of teens flipped on a rainy night, trapped in power lines. We were graded on this as part of our CEU’s. I missed one thing. The medical ID bracelet.

I saw the "thumbnail" before reading the title and thought "That can be good" :)
Excellent all around.
Good morning 😊

As long as the content is good, they are all entertaining, and informative to watch. Rons videos could actually be used as training to teach people about recovery.
Great job Ron and Crew!!
An interesting demonstration 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🇬🇧

I've seen videos of contractors undoing their work if they don't get paid. I'm imagining Ron turning someones car upside down if he doesn't get paid 😂
They may have those portiy pumps towards the back of the lifting items so they can see each other pumping at the same time and see if each other is still safe.
Yuo could see if they put a chain from the base to base on their lifting jacks as their third safty measures.
Great vid 🇺🇸🙏
