Ride Along - Albuquerque Firehouse 13
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- I rode along with Firefighters at one of Albuquerque, New Mexico's busiest stations, Firehouse 13 to see what a day in their life is like. Located at 4901 Prospect Ave NE, a crew of 11 personnel are assigned to an Engine, Ladder, Rescue and Hazmat Squad. In 2022 they responded to 13,000 calls for service out of AFR's 109,000 total incidents.
Thank you so much for visiting our station and getting our reputation out there! Shout-out to all the firemen around! Great video man, come back anytime 😎🔥
What do your alerts sound like? Great rigs
hey brother do u guys sell shirts and hats juat wondering from a brother in Milwaukee wisconson
@@geoffg8840 thanks man! Each truck has a different alert sound
@@geoffg8840 I'll be posting a UA-cam short with all the sounds and the units associated with them.
Thank you for welcoming me in, being such excellent hosts and wheeling that pumper like a boss.
My favorite part was when the Lieutenant’s son FaceTimed him to tell him he saved a turtle 🥹 another hero in the making.
Such an incredible moment!!!
Loving these ride along videos. I enjoy watching other departments from across the nation and how much we have in common. @7:04 much respect to that fellow brother. In this profession there's no I in team. Its a team effort no matter the situation or task at hand.
Julian is a legend and always about the team!
Eric, great video. I am a city councilor in Gloucester, MA and seeing how other FD operate is interesting and extremely educational. People/constituents depend on FD at sometimes the lowest point in their lives. Very important to have men and women ready and able to answer the call. Thank you Eric and thank you to all who serve in the Fire Services. Best of Luck!!🇺🇸
Thank you for watching and sharing your perspective as an elected official!
My pleasure. Emergency services is so so important. Not many constituents/tax payers/citizens think about emergency services until they are in need.
I loved visting NM I got to go to all of albuquerques station everyone was so nice and welcoming awesome video brother but you gotta check out station 5
I loved visiting AFR, too! I got to visit Station 5 while I was there and maybe I'll get to ride along with them down the road.
We met you on Engine 5 at the Dog House eating lunch and gave you a shirt!
@@bunker108 yup thanks so much It was great meeting thanks again
Nice video ... Our company operates a former Albuquerque 2001 Pierce Dash (Videos on my YT Channel) formerly Engine 5 ... Now I know how she got all those miles :)
"And some shifts were quiet"
pretty brave thing to say within Murphy range
“Tell me more about quiet shifts,” said the camera man.
@@WorkingFirePIO "I'd like to hear more about how you slept through the night."
you just never say that I was up at the ambulance station the other day hanging out with the crew as a volly firefighter and the medic said that ol im getting off in a hr and going on leave for the next three 3 and boom med call I even said dont say it haha
fuck yeah these guys get their workout going....
You gotta get to the north east department's, fdny, North NJ, Boston, ect....
You should try try Albuquerque fire station one with Mike a shift
Come to Sacramento, CA. Sac City Fire and Sac Metro Fire. Most engine companies run about the same amount of calls as this Albuquerque firehouse.
Really enjoy your content man, glad to see you working with fellow NM departments. Keep up the solid work. 👍🏻
Much appreciated!
hey eric, your smfr vids influenced me to pursue my career of firefighting/emt I'm training to be now
That's awesome! Best of luck with your training!
Albuquerque resident here. Cool video! Now I know why there's two rescues on every call. Lol
Station 13 wow!. My department has 21 stations but they wouldn't assign the number 13.
Really!? Yours is the first FD that I've heard of that skipped the number 13. By comparison, there are 5 different Station 13's in the Denver metro area.
That’s one tight crew right there. You can just tell. Crews like that are irreplaceable, don’t take it for granted.
Love the music in this one Eric, keep it up!!
Thank you!
SAVAGES ! MAN I MISS YOU GUYS !! Love ya Sonny, Josh, Rode and Hawthorne !! ❤
these guys look like a locked in, efficient crew! good stuff eric!
Awesome !! You should come out/ride with phoenix, Ask fire chief Mike Duran he's awesome chief
Thanks for the suggestion!
Very nice job on the video!! 👍👍😁🇺🇸
Hi from Knight Rider I'm one of your first subscribers and I'm so happy to see u with so many episodes and so many subscribers from Knight Rider Monday August 28 5:32pm from riverside california palm springs
Hi! Thanks for watching!
Nice Ride Along. I Am In The New Jersey area and I was wondering if you would ride along with the fair lawn fire department (FLFD) I wanna see how a ride along would look like with them
Station 13!!! Great job C-Shift.
Thanks for the upload and content! Love your channel and your firehouse tours are awesome and very much appreciated! Keep up the great work brother!⭐️🇺🇸🎉🧑🚒❤️😊
Thank you!
That Joker shirt was pretty awesome. I would love to trade one of these.
Tucson...we have wash rescues every storm that hits in the summer. Great job AFD
Another stunning video! I love your work! The part where he explained why most larger departments send more trucks on highway accidents was very clear! Great video and great work!🎉
Keeping the 505 safe! One question Red or Green Chili?
I gotta go with green. 505 or 303 is the big question ;-)
@@WorkingFirePIO Excellent answer! I'm kinda' a Christmas guy myself.
I live in Albuquerque and love watching these guys go to work. very efficient guys I’m proud that these guys serve the city
Thanks for showing my hometown some love! Not surprised most calls were MVAs 😅
these guys are built like tanks
100%
@@WorkingFirePIO Is there a way you could do a Alabama Fire Department?
Love these videos. If you wanna ride in central Illinois, let me know. Come ride with us. Or let me know how to contact you.
Thanks for the offer! The best way to connect is email - eric@firepio.com
Come here in Texas area for some calls and I want to see my fire guys on calls
Great vid like always Eric!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!!!
If you ever decide to come to the east coast I suggest MCFRS stations 25, 29, 31, 8, & 32. First 3 stations are TRT stations, & the last 2 are usually the busiest in the county. All stations listed are actually pretty busy tbh :)
Thanks for those suggestions!
@@WorkingFirePIOyou’re welcome! Also don’t forget our neighbors over at DCFD and PGFD
just some of the people who make up Americas backbone. Great to see.
Great content as always. It's interesting to see the differences of departments across the country and the unique challenges they all face.
If you don't catch a lot of good calls you are sure to have a great cooking show.....best meals i ever had were in the fire house
Absolutely.
Is part of the deal to be a great cook?? The munu served looked restaurant worthy. I didnt know much about EMS but with two ambulance rides for anaphylaxis I thought I would watch videos and learn about the service. Know you are appreciated and respected! Be safe out there!!
Thanks for another great video Eric!! I was wondering when you would post again, and here we are! Keep up the great work!! Appreciate it and all your hard work that goes into these videos. Many people have no idea how much time, energy, work, etc. goes into producing these videos. Take care man and stay safe!
Much appreciated and I'm happy you're enjoying my work!
You should try and ride along for LA County Fire in the future. Great Video
Always love when the calls drop and y’all rush to the bays!🔥
Interesting concept that they staff rigs for transport and at times, do transport, but the city contracts with a separate private transport system.
Doesn't make a bit of sense that you staff an ambulance to do somebody else's job that's already contracted
@@RINEYMOTORSPORTS do some more research. Not all calls get both agencies responding. Response models are data driven and either agency can transport. Built in redundancy makes sense in emergency response.
I agree. In my fire dept all our Rescues (ambulances) transport. All BLS and ALS calls. No private ambulance contracted.
Fantastic work!
Great video.
My fire department ran almost 15 Thousand calls in a year and only 9000 ppl live in my town
What fire department is that?
Love your videos. How long you in town for? ware that Asualt took place, I work at that exact address.
Thank you! I was only in Abq for a few days.
Nice one boys!🚒👨🚒
yessir
Great episode! Love the EMS tiered system here.
Thanks for your service 🇺🇸
love seeing these guys do there job love AFR
These dudes are Spartans!
Hi Eric, would love to see a ride along with Memphis fire
Very interesting
What is the song when they are working out?
"We get down" by Nite Owl.
@@WorkingFirePIO Thanks Eric! Really been enjoying your ride along videos.
You should try and do a ride along with Cincinnati Fire Station 29! Super busy and lots of good runs!
The ambulance company having a contract answers something I've been wondering. My local FD now has an ambulance from a company stationed at the department.
Another great video Eric, I’m a firefighter in Scotland and find it very interesting to see how things work in the US. Keep them coming 👌🏻
Thanks for watching! Do you know of any good Scotland fire channels?
@@WorkingFirePIO sadly not
@@WorkingFirePIO I'm in the UK and can say that these forms of Videos don't exist in the UK. There are the odd few of Ride Along types but that's all. Over here, the Fire and Ambulance Services are totally separate.
Fire Service provision is operated by Regional Fire services across England, usually in County or Regional divisions. Some major cities, such as London will have their own dedicated Fire Service operation. Plus in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, each of those has its own countrywide Fire Service. Fire Services across the UK are funded by Central and Regional governments and individual residential and business taxes raised at local level too.
Emergency Ambulance cover is broken down to different Service provision as follows. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, each country has its own Ambulance Service. However, in England, Emergency Ambulance cover is managed via 11 separate Regional Authorities, each wholly responsible for Emergency callouts in their control. Most will involve territories covering 100's of square miles in size, especially with some having major towns and cities located within them. The whole of London is covered by one of those 11 authorities, operating with almost 600 Emergency ambulances 24/7.
Hospitals can also have separately individual fleets of vehicles, each carrying out the transfer of non emergency patients to and from hospitals, to and from patients homes, clinics and specialist centres.
These authorities are funded by relevant Government funding, through the National Health Service.
Hope this helps you see how it's covered over in the UK.
Thank you Eric I would of watched this last night but I feel asleep watching a train video but I’m catching up on this now
I love these videos Eric ! I look forward to many Ride alongs in various States. Stay Safe !
Awesome vid
Awesome Eric! I did ABQ EMS Cad install... Good people.
For sure, excellent people!
Another fantastic video Eric, well done!
Why did the workout session go so hard tho 🤙
Good to see other parts of the country call their ambulances rescues as well.
I love seeing departments that train regularly! What a great department
When the FF is saying nothing too special about the station, I think he has South Metro station envy.
Great videos! Love the channel
Epic video! I happen to hear they run 48 hour shifts and are off for 96 days? That’s a very nice shift schedule. Here in FL we do 24 hours on and 48 off. Then you get 5 days for a break if it’s available. I wonder what the other state’s shifts are like.
Enjoying these. Great work.
Thank you!
Love seeing professional firefighters staying fit. ABQ should be proud to have them!
Thx Eric ❤ good Video
Thank you Eric for your service
Also love all the videos vrother.
Come back any time
Outstanding Station #13 "C" Battalion Crew !! Taking Care of Business ! 👏🏼👍🏼🚒
Everyone seems jacked at station!! The workouts look legit 🤟 good stuff legends!!
Interesting to see a “traditional” bunk room!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome crew there.
100%
Thank you for coming down and sharing our story! You are welcome back anytime!
Thanks for showing me around your top notch organization!
Never stop making these please
48?
Yes indeed, 48/96.
Well done!
What do these "high call" departments do when one of their career staff gets injured or gets sick? I was just curious if someone fills that void.
Overtime or Support division fills spot
OT
There's usually an online staffing system and list of firefighters who signed up to work overtime that day, if they're needed. If no one signed up to potentially work, usually there's a mandatory overtime list that starts with personnel who haven't volunteered for overtime in a while. Some departments hard staff every seat and others may drop from 4 personnel to 3 personnel and not mandatory someone in.
36 calls a day is unreal
Bro thats 35 calls a day. What
5000/365=about 14
@@dammain1068 For the engine
@@juliansilva8889 correct. I have friends that work that house. Maybe I misunderstood you. What we’re you referring to with the 35 calls a day?
@@dammain1068 like wow. its a lot of calls a day, and a year
LAFD soon?
That would be fun!
Oooooo he said the “Q” word! 😂
Of course they never tell the taxpaying public those facts.
You have to love when there is a big orange truck... I am assuming they had no idea what was going on, who, or why. What was that truck anyway and why was it down there? Also what is a PSA I saw the white pickup truck say that in black during the highway crash.
The big orange truck was public works. I wasn't able to ask but I'm assuming the operator was removing garbage from the arroyo. Albuquerque Police have a "Public Service Aide" or PSA personnel. Their job description says, "Provide police service that otherwise would be lost or delayed because of workload saturation on sworn officers, relieve sworn officer of non-related or low priority police service so that they may pursue anti-crime activities more effectively. Collect and preserve physical evidence in the field; ensure the preservation of all items taken into evidence and testify in court regarding the chain of custody and integrity of evidence."
Interesting, thanks... I am, always looking for things my small city could incorporate into there emergency services and or things I could send to devs of a game I play with relations to emergency and hopefully soon public services. @@WorkingFirePIO
Also saw HND visited you, can not wait to see those videos (on there end) I have wanted to see the two of you together. I probably need to get back to watching your SMFR videos.
Another sick video man :)
Can you please do ride along with Albuquerque fire station 16
Interesting that they have Zetron and MachAlert systems in the firehouse. Good redundancy I guess.
I had the same thought when I first heard the tones! My understanding is they took the original Zetron tones that had been used for decades and incorporated them into MachAlert. They still have the Model 26's in the firehouse, but I watched them and they don't activate when a call is dispatched.
@@WorkingFirePIO I never understood why the old school guys would reset the boxes until I got to the alarm room and watched those lights blink all nights. I never would have understood otherwise.
We just got the new system. The zetron is now there just to look pretty. Ha!
@@mbreeswinecurions... what do your display boards show when no call is actively coming in?
Ok..an engine an ambulance and another ambulance?? Mhmm idk...
Jesus your bunks reminded me of my barracks in Afghanistan. I hope they have some upgrades in the near future for you guys.
Come to El Paso, Tx
It's freightening how easy and on a every day basis you talk about shootings. As an european it's so unreal. Is no one gonna stop this horror over there?!
I always wonder what it’s like when you all are working out and then a call happens. What if you guys workout and then are too weak during a hard call is that a thing or do you guys try not to go too hard?
