That is one of the biggest fire houses I’ve seen around the nation. It’s beautiful it’s functional and it offers so many comforts of home for your staff. Do you have it opened up to the public is outstanding and a great way to educate and gain more future firefighters and rescuers and leaders. Congratulations and thank you for the work that you all do for our nation. God bless and stay safe. Steve
6:34 If you look to the right of the big circle in the middle, the patch that says 'Queensland fire service' is my state, down in Australia! That's pretty cool to see.
Whoever came up with the design of this station is a genius and the guy walking people through on the video is excellent with his description of everything
If you think your taxes are high now you know why! People that have private sector jobs don't get these luxuries why should people working on are tax money get these high end luxuries! Ridiculous!
Could make a top about the coolest apparatus in service, the oldest still in service, the most technologically advanced, the most emblematic ones (maybe they appear in a movie or tv show), so on.
In Germany some HQ Firestations have 30 or even 50 Engine bays. 5-10 for EMS 4-6 for command (Command cars, Command Vans, Command trucks) Up to 10 spaces for staffed appliances Engine, Rescue engine, Rescue, Ladder, Tanker, Pod Carrier
Population is ~ 5000, so quite big department with a lot of cool stuff/vehicles! Sure they run calls outside the city but you can't compare with the huge Departments in Central Europe or the big US Departments.
@@HeroesNextDoor I’m a second generation firefighter/paramedic that retired as a battalion chief. My father started in 63’ and as a kid the fire station was my playground. When Emergency was on TV, I was hooked. The funny thing is if I was watching with Dad, if there was a structure fire or any kind of fire he would always make comments like “Nope, wrong color smoke” and things like that.
Dang man... I used to live there and was a volunteer for a long time as well (if you are still around, Hi Dewitt!). this sure is a massive step up from the small place we had in town on the corner for so many years.
Wow station requirements sure have changed since I was a firefighter in the 90's. One shower bathroom, gear racks in the engine bay and everybody sleeping in the same room, regardless of gender on bunk beds. I would assume some stations still have this. Very well done video.
I am 14 years old and absolutely love fire fighters I have read so much, I thank everyone who is part of first responders, I would love to be a firefighter
@@HeroesNextDoor thank you for sharing lovely Monticello, IN. We have a lake house on Lake Shaffer and I know first hand these guys roll ALL the time! I got to sit in and follow Medic 4 to the hospital once; these guys are true professionals. They cover the entire White County and surrounding region; this is why their station and coverage area is so big. The nearest large hospital is a 40 mile trip to Lafayette. Nicely done Heroes Next Door!
They must have a pretty good economy. They have 11 pieces of equipment and a huge station. Thats the biggest ive ever seen for 5000 people. A fire dept for 5000 is one station around 12000 sq ft.
@@HeroesNextDoor If you have a huge coverage area, it's not a very good idea to have all your equipment in one station. That totally screws your ISO rating and increases your average response time. They should have at least one satellite station.
@@ffjsb Agreed. Where I lived that had a big coverage area. They had 3 separate stations. They used to have 2, one north end, one south end. Town grew with new housing and they built a new station and staged the ladder truck in the middle and moved in one pumper from a station that had 3 pumpers. So they had no cost rather then the new building which was nothing fancy. So they had a station north end, south end and one in the middle. So response time would be "level" and it was a volunteer department. From one end of the town line to the next town line it was about 18 miles. Bigger is not always better.
Another beautiful station. 👍 I like the proactive approach to the dangerous carcinogens many fire services around the world have been slow to get the information out about how dangerous the job really is. The station is set up great.
Phil Vdd what a surprise to see the station again! in August 2018 we were on vacation (rbnb) in Monticello! we have the memory of having been overtaken by several vehicles which went on an accident, an overturned semi-trailer. (08/17/2018) near Moab. 🚨 🚒 🚑 🚓 .
I would love absolutely love to have a kitchen table and chairs like they do or like you guys do and you're firehall those are just cool and I have never seen anything like that out of the 30 years that I was a firefighter
you should go look at one of the three stations in connersville indiana i know they are small but they are really cool station 4 has a pretty cool part of the station that many dont you can email the fire chief and he is really nice he let me go to station 1 to get a tour
You guy should check out the 2 Alsip fire departments in Illinois. They have a helipad at station 2 and training center at station 1. Lot of trucks too for the size of the town.
Heroes Next Door, Ive just come across your channel, great interesting content. Id like to get your thoughts and send a request. Im an Airport Firefighter and would love for you to do an episode on an Airport Firehouse,not much content on that out there.
Thanks for watching! We are trying to get into an airport fire station, we just don’t have any contacts for one. Shoot us an email at watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com with any contacts you have for an airport station
That is an incredible station, not like the old stations I've been in. We slept in an open squad bay style room, had one locker room with a large restroom, a multiple shower head shower area, it was draconian by comparison.
This is my county’s fire department I live 10 miles north of it and they have responded to me several times whether it was when I was paralyzed in a 1050 PI or when I was going septic with an infection
For a brief second I saw some of the crew in the reflection from the window of the door to the maintenance room... I think they have to practice hide and seek some more!
Hey Mike! I got with you a few weeks back about doing a station tour of my department’s 2 4 bay stations. I was just wondering if you would still like to stop by and tour them.
Love the videos man. You should make a trip down to the Mississippi gulf coast. Gulfport fire department station 9, D’iberville fire station, Biloxi station 1. Another place is Boerne, TX which has an amazing fire station.
I saw the -thumbnail and said “that looks like the Monticello Fire Department”. I just moved back a month or so ago. I have friends who worked for this department, now retired. One of my friends was one of the first EMTs in the state. Funny story: I was eating lunch in a drugstore downtown right after I got out of the Navy (mid 70s). The fire chief at the time asked me if I wanted a job working for them. I thought about it for a bit.
have you check out the mount Vernon fire department also known as 1st president of the US George Washington's I believe he had a fire dept for his property I could be wrong
Very nice and interesting video! Does someone know how the vehicles are staffed? Because there only 6-8 guys but a ton of vehicles. Greetings from Germany
Hay, dumb question, my department NEEDS a new station but they complain about budget. I am 17 and have been voicing concerns about needing the new one since I was 15 and not only have I but also the community and back in 2014 even the chief. Any tips? It would be 5 bays. “would include administrative office space and a training center. He noted that the Midland Fire Department has already become something of a magnet for training as budget-strapped departments in Saginaw and Bay City have eliminated such offerings for firefighters from other departments. “Training has dried up in the area,” Coughlin said.” In an interview with the fire marshal and chief both of whom I know they said they no longer think it’s needed as much though it is needed and has been researched how ever the 8 to 10 million budget can’t be made in any way including a mileage.

That dive truck is so cool great idea by that department
I like the layout of the theater. No one has to fight for space when they're watching Emergency or Adam-12.
and there are city departments all across the country that still operate out of stations that are 75 years old and get the job done.
@@trvman1 Very true.
@@trvman1 how many machines they got for just 6 staff?
16:45 just as he walks though the door left side wall..😂😂😂

You need at least one back up truck for every primary truck.
Another beautiful station. 👍 I like the proactive approach to the dangerous carcinogens many fire services around the world have been slow to get the information out about how dangerous the job really is.
The station is set up great.
Imagine smacking your knees on the fire hydrants while scooting your chair in
Ouch !!!
Wow, what an awesome station! It’s more like a museum with all that memorabilia.
I love Station Cribs
