    wonderful. my father said his smoke alarm kept beeping, but he had a stroke and couldn't use his ladder. unit came out, they completely replace both of Daddy's smoke alarms for free. "we'd rather you call for a simple thing like this, than recover you out of smoldering ruins." why they are everyday heros.

    This is really a thorough review of everything on the Ladder truck. I mean really well done. After viewing all of this one can see that this Ladder Truck is ready for just about anything. This might have been a long video, but Justin made it go by very quickly and is worthwhile to watch it over again. Thanks for doing an excellent job of explaining how things function on this outstanding looking rig. Great video content. I know a young mom who lives in the Springs who is interested in becoming a fire fighter and will be encouraging her to check out all your videos.

  • @connorkogler9032
    @connorkogler9032 3 роки тому +8

    I would love to see a series showing uncut, unedited calls (fire, vehicle accidents, etc.) from start to finish. Starting at the station from the moment the call comes in, seeing how fast they are out the door, how long it takes to get there and finish the job, and just overall get a better sense of what a call is like from start to finish.

    • @connorkogler9032

    • @kenturner2349
      @kenturner2349 3 роки тому +4

      You can’t have uncut or unedited videos of certain calls due to patient privacy concerns, legal reasons and possibly time constraints. Eric and Connor are very good at what they do and that’s probably why you don’t see videos like that.

    Best "Fleet Friday" I have seen yet, and well worth the time. I do not work for or owe anything to Pierce, but they make the best ladder trucks and fire engines; that is just my opinion. I would also have this guy on my crew anytime, he is extremely knowledgeable. I bet he would be a fine paramedic and I am confident he is a fine firefighter. I would want a fellow fire fighter like him working with me. Sharp as a tack. Stay safe out there and take care.

    Do your engines carry standpipes (not right name I don’t think but don’t know what it’s called) but a pipe that can connect to a hydrant where you can then connect many hoses to them? Lastly do they carry Y’s or C’s (where you can spelt hoses off another hose to make it longer if needed? Also do your engines have reel lines (I assume not) and pre-connects (I assume yes)?

    It may not be a bad idea but as far as your paramedics goes . Bulstic vests may not be idea even on the calls . Once on the call and away from your rig and things go bad . It is all ready to late to go back for your best plus . Your ambulance crews are more likely to run into violence than a fire crews . 🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑

As long as the registered owner is on scene we will let you sign saying you don't hold us accountable for any damage and we will pop the lock for you. Basically if you lock your keys in your car, and you are the owner (or co-owner) of said car, we will pop the lock for you, no matter if its running, a child (or disabled person), or pet is in the car. If we have first due units tied up you will wait, if its emergent we will send other units even if first due units are tied up.
