Thank You For Your Service!! Stay Safe Out There & God Bless!! 🙏🚒💙

Agreed as a voulenteer firefighter the videos I've seen theres some places that dont do any of the cycling

I il jjmnll cfhc mi

That is the nerdiest fire video comment ever, commending their siren and horn usage, wow. Nothing about the excessive apparatus or lack of people actually in them?

@@dug2fire sounds like you don’t know what a rural fire department is, nowadays with little pay, training requirements and low budgets you’re lucky you are getting this. This is a mutual aid agreement where if there is a structural fire they send all these units to make sure that adequate staffing is met to reduce injury and ensure the public is provided for, E3 had 3 in the truck, Ladder 2 with 1 and E4 with 1, some full time departments run with 2 on each, not a big difference there. I’m from this community and most of these guys can run circles around some of the best departments in the northeast.

Such a beautiful scene 🦍👍🏽💯❤

Yup. The last thing you want to do while responding to an emergency is create another emergency.

So true, it's always the second truck through that gets t-boned at an intersection. Drivers are so focused on the first truck they hit the gas without even realizing there are other units behind it. You never see that in these response videos.

And women!

Thank you very much!! I have multiple cameramen and a scanner so I hear when they get calls. 😉 Thanks for your support!

There is your answer it is NY were so many have no respect for others, all they think of are themselves!

Bad

I am a retired Firefighter, rural NY. City people just don't care. Rural people move over. Great video work!!!

❤

They're not as good as you think around here, but that was exceptional on the video. You would think people would do better. They always claim on facebook they want to.

Thanks!

That was a pretty LN Ford

Gotta love multi tasking.

It's probably his personal vehicle. Maine may allow RL&S for volunteers.

An oil refinery, judging by the response.

Thanks!

All of my videos are Maine.

@@CoolFireTrucks Bradley fire,were a pretty quiet department.

Thank you! I have over 400 Maine videos on my channel! 😄

interesting to hear about that; Over here in Germany Aerials have a crew of 2, sometimes 3, and an Engine / pump usually has a crew of 9 at volunteer departments and 6 at career departments; Special operations apparatus like Tankers, Heavy Rescues etc come with a crew of 3 as well

Does that include call fire departments in the UK, or only the full-time career departments? The fire department seen in this picture is not a full-time career department, they are paid per call volunteers (which is uncommon, most volunteers in the US receive no pay), so they may not have more than a couple people to respond with the engine at first.

@@daveadler6112 In the UK the statutory minimum crew on a pump is 4 for both wholetime (career) and retained (paid volunteers). We only have county (state) fire services and all firefighters are trained to a national standard. The retained firefighters are paid the standard hourly rate for their mandated training sessions and a call out fee plus the hourly rate every time they are paged to a job. Unless at least 4 retained firefighters respond to the station within a certain number of minutes that appliance is not mobilised.

They're just jealous, lol.

@@deanvanluven6813 This is a very common response in volunteer fire districts. Call in everything you might need, send them back if you don't. Better to have and not need than need and not have. Great response and an awesome video. I miss those days but got too old and retired from volunteer fire service.

To the people who think is staged Him: Calls 911 911: Hello Him: yo can you connect me to the Fire Department i wanna ask them if they will help me make a video responding to a fake house fire 911: i mean its a total waste of resources and gas aswell as a real call might come through and we are gonna need them but sure why not like no this wouldnt happen they would just hang up

@@landon2050 you literally just made me laugh out loud! Love it!

@@deanvanluven6813 we'd send that amount of apparatus (and way beyond that) to large scale drills, but if absolutely necessary they can always leave for real incidents (at least the special operations apparatus); Normal apparatus are covered by other stations in the area then

Thank you!

And a sand truck in case they run out of water. Hahaa

My town does the same thing, it’s sick

Thank you!

Yeah 8 fire apparatus (and two Chief’s) is pretty good! I have gotten some bigger ones before though.

Thanks!

Yes mutual aid was canceled pretty quickly. They were Rockland, Warren, Cushing, South Thomaston, and Waldoboro but most of them were canceled before they got on the road.

Some do but not all

Many of the departments here in Maine that are volunteer have fire police.

Haha I had two people recording about a mile apart.

Thanks!

The lights look just fine off camera, the camera doesn’t catch the strobes light frequency

@@seangoodine7139 that’s what I figured tbh, but idk to me it looks poor lighting, 2 lights on the back and 2 in the front, needs more in my opinion

Haha yeah they didn’t know what it was yet. Came in as a possible structure fire with smoke in the building.

@@CoolFireTrucks I live 10 minutes from there. It is a well maintained trailer park with good spacing between units and a narrow road but I am pretty surprised they were calling in so many trucks from other towns. The winter's are kind of boring so I guess it's a good excuse to go drive the big trucks fast!

@@robertjones1730 In Maine you would rather have it on the way and not need it than need it and not have it. when a structure fire is called especially when you have unknown needs and a unknown total response you get the mutual aid moving quickly IDK if these towns have auto responses set up for events at dispatch but when I worked at a dispatch center several towns we worked with had Auto response for all structural fire calls so just to be clear on what that is the dispatcher takes the call of reported structure fire or Smoke in a building or similar the Dispatcher has a plan already in place to get units moving to the scene the chief or Incident commander or First arriving unit can call it off but if you are at home and it is a 2 minute drive to the station and a 10 minute drive out of town you want to be moving from the earliest moment possible. Especially if you are going to have to set up water shuttles or other labor/time intensive incidents. In Maine it is not uncommon to be without fire hydrants so you want water moving toward the fire as soon as possible as well.

Possible structure fire.

Zxx'

Maine

Thomaston has 3 Engines, 1 Ladder, 1 Utility and an Ambulance which is a separate department but kept in the same building.

Sand spreader

No they are the neighboring towns and Warren is volly and Rockland is a combination department.

@@CoolFireTrucks is Thomaston full time?

@@alexandermakrianis no paid on call

@@CoolFireTrucks oh ok, great video by the way. You guys have nice equipment.

@@alexandermakrianis thank you very much! Engine 3 is the best in the fleet in my opinion.

Yes

Most likely one of the chiefs from a department, or another Volunteer in there POV.

Maybe ... ... if there was a report of 'Persons Trapped', then you need as much resources as you can commit ... ... especially depending on how large the structure is, and colour of smoke ...

More alarms [bigger fire] more units. Or spread

Or they need more personnel

Well seeing as most those units were tankers im going to go out on a limb an say no organic water source.

In my city, a structure fire response is usually 4 engines, 1 ladder, and a Chief. If it’s a larger structure, it’s, 6 engines, 2 ladders, 2 chiefs, and sometimes haz mat and rescue. It’s mostly for manpower, and it’s better to have too many at once, then not enough and play catch up, which never works out well.

For what?

@@CoolFireTrucks Warren Engine 4. Age of the truck? Pump and tank size? Would guess an 80's to early 90's with 1,000 gal tank and 1,000 gpm pump.

1995 Ford L-8000/E-One. Not sure about the GPM or tank size.

@@CoolFireTrucks Thank you !

Haha, two people and two cameras 😉

@@CoolFireTrucks Thx god! 😄

7 fire apparatus, an ambulance and a couple chiefs isn’t very many to me.

@@CoolFireTrucks I guess out in rural areas they send more. In my (old) home area, for a box they'd dispatch 4 engines, a truck, and a battalion chief, with a heavy rescue at night.

@@elshpen yeah most of the departments around here are volunteer paid on call.

@@elshpen we send a convoy of 5 units to every fire call which isn't a trash bin or vehicle fire. Even if it's nothing more than an automatic fire alarm, with no-one reporting smoke showing, it will still be at least 5 units responding

@@EnjoyFirefighting Have it and not need it than need it and not have it simple as that.
