You were close its a 93. Though this station now has a 2016 peterbuilt tanker in service now. That one will go to the county as a reserve.

Its actually Freightliner not the way you spelled it.

With a legit Detroit Diesel.

Most of that apparatus was bought by Montgomery County.

@@warrenjenkins1902 do you know why they would station thier apparatus at a different fire department

It's called a Roto-Ray. Why would you put your hand in it?

So, don't put your hand in it.

here in Germany 95% of the fire fighter's are volunteers and oure gear is hanging I in the fire station because you never know where you are when the alert comes... otherwise your trunk is full with your gear or you have to drive home at first to put on the stuff.

that was the medic crew switching from medic to tanker

+YelpBullhorn our SOPs require the rescue to respond. Basically they are dispatched as a man power piece on calls where there are no hydrants.

So this was a house fire non hydrant area

Could have been a box assignment. 5 engines. 2 trucks 1 rescue squad. Non hydrated areas get tankers on the initial alarm.

Since this is a volunteer department, they are probably in a township or mostly rural area. Those areas lack hydrants the further from downtown you get, which explains the tanker getting toned. As for the rescue, they would be handling search and rescue duties on scene for a working fire, which is sometimes handled by truck co's unless a rescue co is available. Given the type of rigs taken I'd say that this was probably a confirmed working fire.

There were still personnel in the station half the time they are open.

+YelpBullhorn We can still do that here in the states. Some engines spill water when they take corners or accurate too quickly from a stop or almost stop.

yeah tankers mostly

I believe when the fireman hit a button the water comes out of the tanker and In the big orange bag which allows the firefighters to put there hoses in and get water to fight a fire

The bag has his turnout gear in it. I should know cause my dad had one

anthony vansaders thanks! I'm a firefighter from germany but here we don't know something. Everyone gears up in station before getting on the rig.

My station in New Jersey does too but I know stations here that do that

Its called a Roto-ray, and its so you can see them coming.

Fire Box 13. Dispatch probably didn't receive a call-in for the fire, it was probably reported via fire alarm or an old school fire alarm box. Its where the term Box Alarm comes from in the fire service. On a Box Alarm call, most departments send 2-3 engine companies, 2 ladder companies, 1 rescue squad, and sometimes 1-2 EMS depending on standard procedure, plus a battalion chief. This is because when a fire is detected by alarms or reported via a fire alarm/fire alarm box, the nature of the fire usually isn't entirely known, so the department sends the minimum number of rigs and people they need to ensure the fire is safely contained. Usually the 1st Due units will run an assessment of the fire upon arrival and if it warrants, the battalion chief or next senior officer on the scene will call to dispatch and tell them to "strike a 2nd (or 3rd, or 4th, or 5th) alarm," at which point an addition alarm will go off at the next closest fire stations and they will respond to the scene.

@@Stargazzer811 Oh okay. Thank you for the detailed explanation I really appreciate it!

Alarm was to assist Station 13 in Damascus, MD., the neighboring district to the north. Box alarm usually means some type of structure fire.

andrew canterbury yes

Reported house fire in second due area towards Damascus 2nd due engine and tanker and first due squad.
