Sam Mitchell I mean downgrade eh. Doesn’t have to work 24 hour shift. He doesn’t have to run medical calls. And get his on vehicle so.

Thanks for this video 😀 😎 I'm sure this is a very useful and important multi functional piece of equipment in your area during winter and during any major events that require the extra support, equipment, and options in case of emergency needs. This video is very well put together, highly informative, Firefighter Andrew Funk is an excellent speaker, a great narrator who is very knowledgeable about this piece of apparatus. Thanks 🚒😀

One thing you have to look at with budgets for government agencies is the funding per citizen/firefighter too however. LA definitely has a bigger budget than this department but they have to use a lot more resources due to the scope they have to cover

Finland must have had something like this during the preWWII "Winter War". Kitchens hauled out to the front lines, even saunas, everyone had a hot meal a couple of times a week and into the sauna a couple of times a week! A major edge over the hungry and freezing Russian troops! Of course, the Finns also used reindeer to haul equipment when useful ... I'll bet you don't have any reindeer.

I think I've seen a suppression-capable version of these vehicles. Since this one doesn't have those capabilities, would it be a case of loading a portable pump, hose, tools, hydrant gear and maybe a portable water tank into the back if needed to access an otherwise inaccessible location?

@nigelwilliams3616 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the reply! I wondered whether it was an option. I'm sure I've seen versions that can deliver suppression with a variety of different systems including CAFS, Ultra High-Pressure misting & portable pumps. The TRV is a fascinating multi--role concept.
