Whoever made the decision to include those pictures when describing certain tools thank you

This 81 year old Fire-fighter worked on Squad 8 in early 1970s ,when we had Squad 2 and 8 and they were the only thing close to a heavy rescue. Our 1st rig was a 1955 Ford 1 ton with compartments and 3 men on the tailboard, some hand hydraulic tools etc. Our next was a Gerstenslager all enclosed large rig with more equipment and it was painted yellow while all other rigs where white. The white color on Denver rigs goes back to the late 1890s. Man it sure got cold in the winter on the old squad tailboard flying down the road because the center walkway directed the wind straight down the middle into the face of the junior man, which I was. But I would love to relive it. Those were the good ole days.

As a technical rescue captain for the city of Montreal - I'd like to say thank you for the quality of this walk-around video and the knowledge and eloquence of engineer Pat. That dude has his shit on lockdown. Thanks brother. Always looking outside our box to move forward. FYI - we run 3 technical rescues and have 67 stations in our dept. Denver seems on-point. 💪🏻💪🏻👌🏻❤️

Fantastic rescue. We operate rescue/engines due to our size with a heavy rescue trailer. I sure hope one of these days we can place a medium/heavy-rescue in service one of these days. Thanks for the tour!

Extremely informative! Thank you Pat for giving such a detailed tour.

" I don't dive , I'm afraid of sharks . " " You're in Colorado !? " " Yea , yea Exactly . " LMAO !!!! best line of the film !

That rig BARELY fits in the station haha. Great video!

Pat mentioned the HAMER (R22, at 9's) and collapse rig (R24, at 1's), so here's a little more DFD trivia for you, Mike: Both those rigs--plus Rescue 1's previous ride (R23, a 2008 Pierce Velocity HDR nearly identical to R29 except the old rig had an 84" cab instead on the new one's 70"), the department's first four Velocity pumpers (E80-84; they were running Enforcers prior to that, and 30's has the last of that lot), and two of the last aerials DFD spec-ed on a Lance chassis (T46 & T47)) were all bought for the city by the DNC when Denver hosted the 2008 Democratic National Convention. US Secret Service security protocols state that no vehicle traffic is allowed into the secure space around one of their protectees once they've established a perimeter, so the DNC had to pony up the money to provide DFD enough equipment to cover an all-hazards response to at least a second-alarm level, and that couldn't leave the confines of that perimeter until after the convention concluded and their package left town. R22 and R24 are still front-line rigs; all the others are in reserve.

Thank you so much for the walk through of a Heavy Rescue

Outstanding rescue, very well thought out.

My Dad was on Rescue one for about 9 years, great video showing off the rig!!

Good to see you spending time out of PA Mike. It's nice to see what other departments have on their rigs! Looking forward to next weeks video.

Thank you so much for the walk through of a Heavy Rescue that Denver has. The ( CDL) is important to have but the Fire Department does Emergency Response ( code runs) so training must be geared to that. The FD does a better job at responding code, like the Driver said the Narrow streets, very important than just say, backing through cones to Loading dock, that ( CDL) driver school teach, the Log sheet for driver hours, prep for taking ( CDL) test. FD doesn't need to go through Driver Log hours for inspection. Very nice redundant Equipment set up in Rescue Rig. The Gas and Battery power combination of TOOLS. Like the way you can get in back area from front seating area.

I am with Portland Fire , you did an awesome breakdown and educational editorial of the rig and equipment. Kiddos

So Cool! Sometimes I wish I could just jump into a new profession.. but I'm getting old.. so cool.❤

I was stationed at Ft. Carson, Co. Went to Denver for a weekend. Ended up visiting the Downtown station. It was near Denver 1 Place. The skyscraper that was shown on the Dynasty tv show in the 80's. . Lessoned learned. Don't visit a Dnever Fire Station when the Denver Broncos football team is playing. This rescue looks pretty good.

Years ago DFD had two squads. Squad 2 at old station two on W Colfax and Osage and Squad 8 at Station 8 at Park Ave and Marion St.

Love the truck walkthroughs!

Greetings from Germany

That’s a fantastic rig setup!! Thank you for the tour video!

BEST TOOLBOX MONEY CAN BUY ! THANK YOU BROTHER MIKE !🇺🇲

Those amazing trucks should have a crane, like some cargo trucks. That's the missing part for a super duper cool rescue all the way truck. 🚒🚨🚒

Nice video of this awesome truck. Hope to see more videos in the future.

What a great video..Denver fire engineer did best presentation as any I've seen in a log time.

What a fantastic truck!

Very beautiful rig

Trucks like this are the reason why i whould instantly go to the next fire station if there whould be a "Worlds-End" scenario tomorrow. I mean, its a gigantic rolling toolbox with everything you need. What do you want more? XD

Awsome to see👍🏻👍🏻

Another fine Pierce apparatus roaming the streets of America that’s why they are the number one fire truck manufacturer in the United States period.

you should go to dexter fire department in Michigan they are building a new fire department bc the one they have now is just to small

Greetings from Louisiana

Nice Appliance

Y'all should go do Hazmat 1, and Collapse and Dive Rescue

Awesome

Welcome to Denver my home state

Cool

Superb video, liked and shared 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒

That engineer is dialed.

Thanks for showing Rescue 1!

PLEASE tell me you guys took a look out at the airport? If you didn’t, you should!

You guys should head up to Greeley Colorado, only fire department in Colorado with a Tiller Ladder!

can we possibly see a station rigs on the drone Mercedes van? or all vehicles relating to technical operators

Or a town or city in maine

No Halligan-tools?

Do a station cribs and what’s inside Chicago

Hey man you should react to Bringing Out The Dead with Nicolas Cage - Its about NYC Paramedics

ariel genevieve stanley lee.

Do SOUTH METRO FIRE RESCUE

The station that has 420 in it's location is just a few blocks from the international church of cannabis.. gold... 😅

It's over 26,001 pounds. You should have a cdl! I laugh at some of these fire fighters and they can't drive!

Didn’t rescue 1 run fail to clear an intersection and kill everyone in the car they had hit? That would explain the brand new aspect of it.

dude said he uses shears to cut a roof. lmfao... cant make this shit up
