Totally agree with you

You will never see it like that here in Vegas Because it doesn't snow here.

South Metro Fire Rescue PIO Cool, I live in North Carolina so we don’t get much snow.

South Metro Fire Rescue PIO That makes complete sense....now how do they reload after the line has been used. I’m assuming it slides out.

Brian White Usually the tray that the crosslay is in will slide out so you can re pack it and then it will slide back in

The PUC pump also give the apparatus 1 more large compartment rather then the pump panel taking up so much room

It's a Storz adapter/connection, many departments use this connection for Large Diameter Hose (supply line), as well as some Fire Department Connections, Dry Hydrants, and normal hydrants. 1.75" handlines typically put out around 150 GPM, 2.5" handlines typically put out anywhere from 250-325 GPM.

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Thanks! It sure looks like he's turning it backwards in the video... must just be me. :)

What’s the purpose to use both Lt’s and captains ? Why not one or the other?

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO I love that advanced degrees are an important part of the promotion process for SMFR. My organization is way behind the curve, but we're slowly making advanced degrees a requirement for promotion.

1.75 inch and 2.5 inch preconnected 200 foot hoselines

In my department we have 2 stations and we only have 3 on duty members at station 2

@@whiplashfirephotography8348 Every station here is actually its own department It's totally different The only department that has the same system as you do are the RSB (Regimento Sapadores de Bombeiros), in which they have different battalions spread out around Lisbon, Porto and Coimbra, the main Portuguese cities

I believe they made a video about the busiest medic in their fleet and it was medic 32?

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO okay. Yall must have some revenue coming in if yall can afford that. Our department has 8 engines, 2 aerials, 5 medic, and a rescue running 22000 calls a year roughly in the entire city. They can rarely have one additional guy on our rescue, let alone 4 guys on every apparatus.

Ethan Regan My city has 3 Engines 3 Ladders and a Rescue (which is cross staffed by the Ladder crew) and they barely have 4 people to a truck it’s lucky if they do

its to keep the batteries fully charged

@@kshot0167 Thanks. Bt do they go flat from standing or wat. Coz way I see it is the alternater not supposed to charge them

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO thank you so much. Here in south Africa our trucks don't have all those fancy stuff.

probably staffing shortages?
