Just subscribed and am looking forward to your other videos. Interesting thing I picked up towards the end regarding their antique. Elsie, the former owner's wife, called my hometown department, Purchase, NY, regarding the fate of our old antique as well. Her husband had purchased a whole bunch of old apparatus with the intention of starting a museum. Unfortunately he passed away before that could happen so Elsie reached out to the former owners and asked them to come and retrieve their old rigs or they would be scrapped. So my brother and a few of the other members headed out there with a flatbed tractor trailer and retrieved her. She is a 1957 Seagrave Quad that is still in excellent condition. Just thought I would share that with you. 👍🏻

One minor editorial note, toward the end you mentioned that members from one station could drive apparatus from the other, specifically the tanker and tower. WG does not have a tower, just a regular ladder. Otherwise a great video. My son works there as an EMT so it was nice to take a look to see where he works.

May not be a fair comparison, but.. Elk Grove has a 20-25 year replacement policy for apparatus. To show how skewed some things are (excluding the obvious reasons/needs for the policy), Beverly Hills has a 10 year replacement policy (4 engines, 3 rescues, 2 BCs, a USAR and a tiller - the replaced apparatus is used as reserves for another 10 years), Los Angeles has a 10-15 year replacement policy (dependent on geography). LAFD reserves are as old as 30 years.
@HeroesNextDoor 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, it’s definitely important to have a replacement plan. Depending on how many calls they run I’ve seen some stations with 35 year old apparatus that still run perfectly and look new, but they are also not running many calls a year

It is funny that you commented this. As we traveled across the US we are finding the terminology to be so different. I personally never heard of a tender until Indiana. We don’t have many if any flying tankers :). It’s nice to learn how different people use the same equipment and name them differently also. The biggest one beside tanker vs tender is tower/ladder/aerial/or truck....
