why?

@@TRX450RVlogger because your stuck filling up scba tanks for everyone lol

Cody Bussey oh lol. I wouldn't mind doing that haha

Usually those are used as overtime spots on larger departments

@@codybussey1124 better than getting all sooty and smokey

They sound very happy, maybe a bit disrespectful to the persons whose property is on fire or is getting damaged. God forbid but you wouldn't hear the woooooow if it was one of theirs.

Max Starmer They are pumping themselves up, no different than a sport team in a huddle yelling "go team" because firefighters need to be at top of their game and very alert. Better question, would you rather an enthusiastic firefighter or a lazy one.

+Chris Mould With all do respect, I can see where your mind is. However, as a firefighter you go to someone when their world is absolutely falling apart. The reason a firefighter does the job they do is because they love the thought of helping one another. Secretly, we love fire, no question about it. I mean it takes one crazy SOB to do what we do. That's why we do it. A firefighter doesn't jump up and down for joy when that tone goes off and their station is knocked out on a fire. Actually they prepare themselves for something that is foreign to them. They go and they play. They love to put the wet stuff on the hot stuff. That's their job. That's why we do what we do. It is good to have someone like that protecting your community. Because that ensures you that that firefighter will be there when you call without hesitation. You want someone like me who shows up to work an hour early to have coffee, check my gear, go through equipment, and talk with the other firefighters on that day. Why? Because I love doing it. If you have a job where you go to work that excited and that early. It basically ensures that the job will be done more efficiently. So if you ever encounter a firefighter do that again. Next time don't think, WOW, how rude and inconsiderate! Think WOW, they are ready to save someone's house, life, or property.

Where did you see a lack of hustle?

+mikeallenbrown1 Depends on where the hydrant is and where they want to set up

And the larger apparatus have to take a different route.

And departments in big cities tend to send people in different routes in case of traffic troubles. So no matter what, someone gets to the scene.

+Taylor H With all this "strategically placed" and CAD bull hockey, your right they probably don't. Fire prevention is at such an all time high that when fire runs are made, it puts us at a higher risk considering the fire has went through its intensity stage yet.

Nah man these guys run their ass off day & night and fight fires all the time. It's called loving the job. They WANT to fight fires and get excited about it. They have a Facebook page, look up Atlanta Fire Company #1.

+firepower782 they get the same as we get when we get a worker. I'll never forget the day that it was five minutes before the end of shift, and the tones drop for a firefighter on scene reporting a working structure fire. It went from an, o"h, this going to be BS" (due to the timing we normally have a wreck around then and it is almost always minor) to "LET'S GO!!!!!!! WOOOHHHOOO!!!!!" We hadn't had a fire in our first due in about two years. This year we've had seven.

Y’all they fight a lot of fire there they have a lot of house fires old and abandoned house.

First Battalion run hard Stations 1,4,6 20, 7 And the best Squad 4

Black Eagle An air unit is a unit sometimes referred to as an Air/Light/Rehab. These trucks carry a system called a cascade system that can refill SCBA (self contained breathing apparatus) at a fire scene. They only have so many bottles, so they need to be filled at a large fire. They also may have a big light tower and can be used to bring manpower and assist with giving firefighters rehab supplies (water, gatorade, small snacks, etc) Hope this helps! Have a nice day :D

Rescue 911? seriously? Please don't use that show as an example of how things are done. It's an embarrassment to the whole Fire Service, as is Chicago Fire. All that show is, is "Days of our lives" shot in a fake fire house. The only thing authentic is the city it's filmed in, and then I doubt it's all shot there.

James Daugherty I live in Gwinnett

+John Hopper-Lundahl Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

And yes. alot of firefighters are happy about being able to fight fires. we don't want it to happen but if it does, we are damn happy to fight them lol

+John Hopper-Lundahl what land are you in?

+Joshua Hannah I'm not sure what Dept you are from but I guess I can see your point. I do have to admit though, the guy who got excited gave us a good laugh! If you ever visit Chicago, you are more than welcome to our station for a visit and i'll show you a FD that is happy to get the small amount of time that we have in quarters.

+snaipor gaming Your point is? And, what department are you with?

Because it's part of the call the other firefighters are dispatched to so it has to go lights and sirens as well.

a air unit is a truck that can fill SCBA's (breathing apparatus) mobile. during big incidents there are not enough spare cylinders to do the job at hand so the air truck can ensure firefighters have enough breathing air to do the job, and get trucks back up to full service faster.

93hungryman thank you!

+DerKommissar basically what ol dude said. Let's say you have a rural department like out in a small country town. They have tankers whose sole job is to provide the engine crew with water because in those calls unlike Atlanta or my town for example there may not always be hydrants available for water supply. Just in case you wondered lol

***** I was also going to ask what an air unit was, thanks.

Swaps out and refills SCBA bottles. It also repairs SCBAs. They used to be air and like, but it appears to be only air now. They used to swap out O2 for the med units as well.

+PeanutButerJellyTim1 In very rare cases that is correct but for the most part it's bunk!

Happens in a big city when a ton of roads head the same Exact direction with not much difference in distance/time

Also to note the battalions were facing different directions so it doesn’t make sense to turn around if there’s another similar route

It was more like :045

Not much over tiller

Yes.

no in hong kong

ismaeel mansoor No its new zeland.

No, its North Koreas finest

+SoCal CodeThree it could quite possibly be a battalion chief and safety officer.

They used to have a Division Chief and a Battalion Chief at Station 1. B4 and B6 are not housed at Station 1. B6 is Buckhead and Battalion 4 is in SW Atlanta, unless something has changed. I worked at what are now the 1st, 2cnd, 3rd, and 6th battalions. They seemed to have realigned the 1st battalion. Battalion cars move around all day going to their stations and meetings, so you never know where they will respond from.

@@FINfinFINfinFINfin Thanks for the clarification. 8 years ago, time flies!

Looks like a second alarm. They will get there and stage, waiting for assignment.

Quint?

beanard “quiet”. When someone says “it’s been quiet today” that’s when you get a call. The first responders are superstitious like that.
