That’s something I’ll never understand. A dept as money for all these custom trucks, engines, tankers, walk-in rescue, and trucks but can’t find a way to have paid ff’s. In my county, dept is combination. The best they can hope for are commercial demo trucks and one man on each truck. They’re still rocking ford cab over tankers.

Here's something to remember and understand about municipal fire departments, buildings and apparatus are expensive, but they're a cost that happens one time. The most expensive item are the paid people. Salaries, health care benefits, retirements represent a HUGE investment. And it's a budget line item EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Fire Stations last 40-50+ years and apparatus ( depending on call volume) last 10-15 years, then go to reserve status for 5 years or so.

Nice response and well coordinated. So many of the responses I see, it's always an after thought to connect to a hydrant. These guys took care of that right away. Plus, the aerial was positioned BEFORE anything got out control, unlike other videos of departments that only engage AFTER the fire is almost out of control. NICE JOB Union Fire.

My last FD response was a lumberyard/ industral complex fire . It took up an entire city block and was a mutual aid call from a neighboring town . You could see huge solid clouds of black smoke and 300’ fireballs from 15 miles away . I was on our ladder truck - crew of only 2 - watching this , as we’re headed to fight it - which is an interesting experience. The entire block was on fire and high voltage Powerlines ringed the area , so we pulled behind another truck and as we were setting the tormentors , a 250 gal propane tank Blevied about 200 ft away . Luckily the end caps were not facing us , it rolled across the ground and rose into a flaming mushroom cloud . We lobbed water into the area as we couldn’t enter . When we did , it looked like a scene from a war movie . We found hose from the local department, when they abandoned their attack - ironically the station was across the street. One thing about firefighting, you’ll see things most people never will .

The 5” coming from the hydrant looks like it was hooked into a “direct tank fill” (back compartment). And the 5” coming off the discharge runs around the back of the ladder, possibly a supply line for the ladder. Just what I can gather from that.
