Hell yea nothing like responding to a fire alarm riding backwards when its 30 degrees. Or when its raining. Or when its 103 degrees outside Nostalgia bruh

Love Segraves!

I just commented the same thing but deleted it when I saw your comment. When my mother was a child during WW2 all the kids in the neighbourhood were staked with leashes to their front lawns. 1 mother who didn’t work would watch all the kids. No thought was ever given to having a child stolen. It just didn’t happen.

too bad they usually stay in their windows for longer than the tot is a tot, and usually after that tot has gone off to college and the room becomes storage

Is the program still being used?

I REMEMBER THOSE PARTICULAR STICKERS WHEN I WAS GROWING UP MY GRANDPADENTS HAD THE RED STAR OF LIFE IN THE WINDOW FOR ME THAT WAS MY MEDICAL ALERT STICKER

Thanks for the story - love to hear about folks' careers :)

Black Spider I was there in the mid to late 70s. Do you remember the Woodway Square complex fire?

@@Ken-lp9qt Yes. That was a 7 alarm fire. Wooden shingles was the culprit.

Black Spider I remember riding my bike down there after hearing a bunch of sirens. We lived only a mile and a half away. I’ll never forget it; people coming home early and a lot of people trying to haul furniture out. That thing sure spread fast! The beginning of the end of shake shingle roofs

@@Ken-lp9qt We learned a lot since then. High winds helped fan the flames also

Absolutely - we still just have phones, cars, and TV - that's it. Just improvements on inventions

Yep. It all still pretty much boils down to "put the wet stuff on the red stuff", as my chief used to say back in the early eighties.

@@Just1American1966 "Put the wet stuff on the red stuff" is still used today!

@@jamesslick4790 Good to hear that!

@@jamesslick4790 Nope. These days they use digital hoses and digital virtual water. Works great!

Thanks - glad I found it and held on to it - lots of folks enjoyed it.

I will keep my eyes open for more films like this. Glad you enjoyed the better version

I HAVE THE DVD SET OF EMERGENCY

@@lindathrall5133 hi L T... ' that is a great film in old time... how about ADAM-12

Remember the old Snorkel ladder?

The bowling balls were leftover cop riot helmets, from the 60's. Bell put the neck flaps on them and called them fire helmets. The black ones were just Plectrons or MSAs hard hats. Nothing inside but the suspension. We wore the winter construction liners with the silver gray vinyl and the red flannel, that came off on sweaty ears as red fuzz.

@@fritzynh1905 thanks for the info , I have both the yellow and the black.

Very European

Fritzy NH Interesting to hear. The first firefighter helmets in Germany after WW2 were literally Wehrmacht helmets with the swastika painted over, since there was not much money for fancy new helmets. Later this design was made out of aluminum rather than steel, got slight design changes (a bit smaller, more fitting for civilian use), a leather neck flap and neon yellow paint. This design is often used even today. Now they are made out of some kind of plastic composite material, since aluminum tended to deform and shatter on impact.

@@TheStevenp851 Jesus, I hope not! Oops!

You're welcome - it is an entertaining film for sure

kcgunesq that’s because it was filmed all in Kansas, a few scenes actually showed departments in Topeka as well.

This was showing lawrence fire and Topeka through lot of it. At around 1:30 that’s lawrence fire station one.

22nd & Lombardy is in KCKS.

You're right :)

Old

Sorry ment 1970

Chicago Mark Luckily thieves are honest, they never rip the label off.

I read that as "I'll bet that kid saw Pennsylvania down that sewer" and got a good chuckle.

Oh they won't talk about that.

I want to know too now.

I’m disappointed that there wasn’t one and no Crown fire coaches to be seen!

what

Yes even in winter

@@wesleymay602 Separates the dedicated-probies, from the one's who just wanna "be a hero", in professional-title/name ONLY! (Sorry for the caps, but it just seems like the title of hero is sometimes thrown-about quite loosely nowadays?)

Obviously you've never been on a tailboard during a response. Putting your gear on while the other two fire fighters locked arms around you to help keep you from falling off in the rain, snow, sleet, high heat, below freezing conditions, as well as people throwing rocks, bricks, snow balls, etc trying to off the back.

Joke what? Read your history armchair warrior.

@@stupullenchannel3525 Chad is just jealous that he can only cut it as a key board warrior. 😂😂

❔ curious explained?

But your mom is

Dude... what??

Jim Moon you beat me to it 😂

Chad is tripping trust and believe he would be crying like a bitch if he needed them even if it was a political tool speaking of tools I'm going to assume he knows all about tools
