Thank you for what you do. 😊 Hope you are a volunteer as well. I own a 1971 SeaGrave engine. It is for KIDS to enjoy, get behind the wheel. I fill the Air pack compartment with Fire Extinguisher I carry up to a 50 pounder plus pressure water and one old school hand pump can I have magnetic stickers for Door for Fire Cadets programs that I take the old girl to When the PIO does kids education events, I can stay at events if the in-service Engine that comes, has a Run. That way the kids can still get in my Rig. Plus with the old school jump seats, the cab is straight through. It's a 5 speed Spicer/Dana matched to an 8V-71 Detroit My wife had me run the two pipes up top so smoke is not blowing on kids. This last Christmas I drove Santa ( retired FF) to his hut for big city Community events. 😊
@@ChasRize Believe me. I was a RESIDENT FF in the mid 70s till the Early 80s. It was a blast living in the Fire Station. Paying no Rent. I stayed lots of money to eventually BUY a home. We got a small amount of Pay for things like a full house clean Day. Back then you got points for calls. So you got TWO checks a year from the district. The big Difference in today's world is all the other special things like ( Haz-Mat) that you need extra training on. The ( EMT) training is great also. Have seen volunteers get jobs with private
@mooseriddle Don’t bash Mike like that. He doesn’t just choose where he goes; he gets invited. That’s what so special about this channel. It’s not Mike just deciding on where he visits, but his followers who invite him.
We don’t cold call any longer. They need to reach out to us first with the invite. Too many other already asked for us to cold call stations. We would love to get everyone on our list to visit though. So if you know how to have them reach us please have them do. We would love that
You should check out the Kentucky area plenty of fire departments I went there on vacation once and the amount of career staff amazed me, most Fire departments in Kentucky are career based with a few volunteer ones. Also Great Video I like the series where you show different stations across the states.
Very good day we would like to invite you to our fire station in cape town in Gordin's bay i am a volunteer fire and rescue member at the city of cape town/coct in strand for the past 13 or so years have been in service for the past 23 years my name is Johan coetzee
In Virginia there is a burn ban from February 15th to April 30th. You cannot burn anything until past 4pm due to historic weather conditions and there being high winds during this time
They should spin that tank or 180° and have it positioned directly behind the first out engine for structure fires instead of having it going out the back door that makes no sense
And the UTV trailer should be directly behind the brush truck and the Hazmat trailer behind that and the big rescue should be parked behind your main Rescue Unit the Silverado the Silverado should be in front of the big rescue in the big rescue should be behind the Silverado if your Silverado is truly your main medic unit. The tankers behind the right vehicle but is pointed the wrong way it's behind the engine just spin it 180 so they can just come out the same door for a structure response that's just common sense
i am about 20 mins away from Evington VFD i love the community and its great to finally see my small town on a big channel
Thanks for watching

@@johnlebzelter4208 he most definitely wasn’t bashing mike about anything he was saying that he’s glad he finally was able to make it out to Virginia

You should do more stations through out central va and reach out to them for invites
We don’t cold call any longer. They need to reach out to us first with the invite. Too many other already asked for us to cold call stations. We would love to get everyone on our list to visit though. So if you know how to have them reach us please have them do. We would love that
One of these days can you do one of the fire stations in Strongsville Ohio
We need the invites to make that happen please
How do you get the invites?
@@Awesomegu497 the station needs to email us the invite
@@HeroesNextDoor if I tell them to send you an email, will you do a station in Strongsville Ohio
@@Awesomegu497we will try to get them on the schedule but this gets the ball started for sure
You should do Gretna Fire and Rescue in Gretna Virginia it’s about 20 minutes south of there
We would need the invites to make those happen

Are you planning on doing more parts of VA? fairfax county, prince william, Arlington,DC?
Ya when or if we get the invites. We don’t just show up we have to be invited.
@HeroesNextDoor Yes, obviously. I think there was a misunderstanding. Do you have any other departments in va already scheduled?
No not at this time. But some have asked I just have not scheduled any more yet
Would you like to go visit stations in canada if you could?

Sadly i don't work in any stations in canada!@@HeroesNextDoor

We need invites to make that happen

Please send invites to watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com. Include contacts location and brief description of what you would like to highlight.
Will do so thanks very much
@@HeroesNextDoor hi i have send the email to you
I’ll check into it. I have not been able to go through all the emails yet. Thank you for sending it. I’m sure we will talk soon
What do they mean by 4pm.burn effect in place
@roberteussell7388 What don’t you understand?! You can’t burn anything from 4pm or later! What’s so confusing about that?
@@johnlebzelter4208 it's because I'm from Britain and dont understand American fire meanings
@@johnlebzelter4208the fact that township have restrictions like that, the risk doesnt rise at 4pm, it seems like a singular administrative policy
In Virginia there is a burn ban from February 15th to April 30th. You cannot burn anything until past 4pm due to historic weather conditions and there being high winds during this time
@@bwcgamingctrs3949 I see
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!###############################!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHY IS THE LT. TALKING LIKE HE'S BLACK???
Try and do city of green station 1 instead of 3
We need invites from the departments to make that happen
First!
Nice job

They have it set to their needs and what works for them! What works for some stations doesn’t work for all, just like anything else :)
