that's a 5000 gal. tank I towed them all over Korea

Some people: *What are we going to do, if there's a wildfire in our area? Government: Aah, don't worry, we gave some crazy Axe boi a firetruck, yall gonna be ok.

Great piece of equipment. Looks like it'll get the job done.

Brother Cody, it's generally not a great idea to store your bunker gear in the same compartment as your fuel cans. S. Sally...out.

Your small station has better fire engine than almost any major fire station in my country (Bulgaria) - I am impressed how your government cares about wildland fires.

that pentatonix and lindsey stirling bit there. love it!

How come you don't want us to see the name of your fire dept? Everybody knows you run with Mt. Fuji Fire Dept. LOL

That front axle says heavy duty. Thanks for the tour Cody, nice to have seeing how you live in the woods and fires do happen.

Hi Cody, Just an observation...Maybe store your bunker gear away from the fuel cans. Awesome truck...love your channel.

Hello from Colorado. Thank you for your service, we are all very appreciative.

The green brings back memories. Once upon a time was a volunteer in a mining town .Fire and Rescue for the town and mine site. First appliance in green in Western Australia .Isuzu forward cab (Turbo charged) with extended frame . Rosenbauer round the pump high pressure proportioning. Twin hose reels plus 4 x 2 1/2" outlets. Foam tank plus water.$ BA sets plus spares.Have a high respect for tree/bush fires, as much as wind swept spinnafex (sharp spined bush grass that burns very fast and when seed heads are still up ,fire runs like hot alcohol) . Great clips and thanks for the memories.Originally started with a 'Green Goddess" Bedford fire truck from England painted red . Timber built and the pump was as solid as they come. Now retired to Western Australian Fire Brigade Museum minus the brass bell which stayed in the station with a priviso it was handed to successive chiefs to look after. ref: /en.wikipidia/wiki/Auxiliary_Fire_Service . Great appliance and great times. Love all the other stuff you do with Mrs W and son. cool ideas.Keep it up as not many city kids would have a clue how to survive in the wild.

The door opening scene was truly wonderful! Those few seconds were so engaging!

That's a really cool rig Cody, hope we get some video of it in action.

congratulations on your new truck. She's a dandy!

Nice rig when I did my "self propelled pump" training here in NZ a few years ago now. We did it all on the old analogue pump panels using Darley's. On station we had a Scania with a Darley pump and an old International fitted with a Rosenbauer pump. Long since retired I think was the truck I believe was built in 1979.

If all those 12 volt lights aren't bright enough just let the fire get a little bigger.

would love to see this thing in use. Even just a demo.

Seems your front diff is leaking hope you checked it out before departing on a call!!!

Looking forward to seeing more videos about her!

Looks good brother.

That must have been one small airport as I have never seen an ARFF unit that small.

TESTDRIVE! PLEASE!

I'm loving these older videos!

it time for a video on the progress of your small firehouse. I love it wish I could find a little single 4x4 rural brush engine.

Please get your bunker gear out of any compartment containing fuel.... EMS gear and oxygen should also be moved to another location! Stay safe!!!

You're probably a type 3 due to what looks like a bigger pump, oh and remember it a water tender not a tanker ;)

You are definitely living the life my friend! I am so jealous...

That is certainly awesome! The opening was certainly done well. Cant wait to see any tests or it in action (not too close to you hopefully)

Radioactive -PTX/Lindsey Stirling Recognized after first second.

Can you tell more about the damaged tank in the old engine, what caused it?

I do watch your channel quite a bit. I worked in a Municipal Maintenance Shop for a number of years. We had four Boardman's and they were front line for 40 years. All analog and reliable. There was one that went brush pumping in a worse case fire in the mountains. The fiberglass tank developed a leak. Sandblast the area and a bit more. Add fiberglass and as little resin as needed. Paint and seal it with epoxy paint. It should burn in to the glass and grab the structure. Use fiberglass about the same coarseness as the tank. The truck is a happy 48 years and is used in the same mountain area with a volunteer department. She still does not leak. My job makes me happy every time I see her.

Do you own the engine? Do other fire fighters go on calls too?

That looks suspiciously like Yale, Washington. Up on SR 503

Those Draeger Panorama systems are the Cadillac of SCBA's. As a HAZMAT tech I've worked with MSA, Scott and Draeger and given the choice I'll take Draeger every time. You're fortunate. I would recommend you move the O2 bottle into a different compartment than your fuel. If that bottle leaks at all it will increase the oxygen in that compartment and therefore decrease the flash point of the fuel vapors. Something as simple as a spark from the latch on the door could ignite the right mixture. Also, not sure how well turnouts resist breakdown from the fuel vapors. Now I'm curious if they're suggested to be kept away from VOC's while in storage.

It struck me as funny that while you may be in the middle of nowhere, and you have this small but awesome garage to store these cool "Toys", there still exists a Plymovent to get rid of the Exhaust gasses. lol I guess it is an OSHA rule..

Your water tanker looks like the US Army M131A4C but you would have to look inside the door on the data plate. 5000 gal over blacktop and 3800 gal over dirt roads. Made for fuel but covered to water.

Great vid Cody I wish I could come run some wild land stuff with you.

Can I ask why you don't want us to see your name of the department

that's a cool design for the monitor control. I helped a similar volunteer fight dept figure out how to set up two pneumatic cylinders and air valves to control their monitor remotely.

Did I see a Jaffery valve in the pump operator's compartment? I live in Hinsdale, NH right at the border!

I have a lot of respect for firefighters. My Dad worked for the Greensboro Fire Department for 30 years. Dad dealt will structure fires but you are dealing with the weather elements and that can pose a much greater challenge. Thank you for your service.

My first volunteer chief was a big proponent of the saying, "Make it fireman proof, keep it simple!"

Show us the other truck!

1 Have you tried out your foam making with silvifoam or other wildland foam. The municipal foams can be more toxic to fish.... Leads to persecution of the innocent after a fire. 2 drafting ability can you pull up to a beaver pond and refill or provide a temporary pump station? Or carry a small Wajax. 3 mixed results on having quick deploy folded hose compartments instead of hose reel. Wildland fire protection used to have a preference for rear mount reels? 4 turret will use up your water really quickly . Make sure it can deploy foam. (Doesn't look like a foam nozzle?) Useful if you have to drive through a fire -after you get those fluid leaks stopped. 5 the wildfire units I built all had spring hold down mounts, and anti corrosion coating on the inside to reduce tank breakage. The spring mounts stop the tank from breaking when the truck from flexs. 6 beware of taking that tanker trailer off good roads - pretty high and prone to tipping or blocking FS roads. Hard to turn around too if there are no landings.

That is the coolest! Thanks for sharing. You give rides? ;)

What pump would you recommend for a type IV or type IV engine?

Your drops are in the same compartment as gasoline?

Right on. New fire trucks are exciting. we got our first type six last year from another department that upgraded. Already been put to use. Have fun

Where's the filed coffee maker? 😁 Nice set up.

wranglerstar no Jaws of Life? :D Man, way cool to have your own fire department, Cody.

Fantastic Vehicle!!!

My only concern with old vital equipment is replacement parts and proper maintenance schedules.

Where do you go for your training one a week

Excellent! Nice tour, thank you! I appreciate people with a broad background and even academy experience. The engines I was on were wildland only. Much simpler. We always paid for carrying only 300 gallons. Not good in the eastern Sierras where it's mostly dry. But our southern Cascades weren't much better.

where can I get that book, that would come in handy for Fire Dept use

Bad idea keeping your bunker gear where your gas cans are. Bunker should be left out in the open to air out

Where did you buy all that equipment

Where Do you Find the Time to Do All the things you Do ?

Topkick right? What's it got for an engine? Cat 3208?

What a great engine. Should sure kick-ass at a fire scene. Cracked tank is a major issue. Hopefully it's repairable. I've got an '84 class A engine. Have a lot of fun working on it. It's always ready to go. My class A foam is laundry detergent mixed with phosphate (poor man's Phos-Chek.) Neighbor never had much interest in my engine until her sisters' house burned down. Now a lot of interest. Amazes me more people don't have their own fire truck. Thanks for the tour.

Thanks Cody for this and all your videos. I don't get time to comment this time of year, but I want you to know I always watch each one you post. I am subbed to over 500 channels now, but never miss yours. As a tanker driver, I thought you might want to know that military tank trailer is probably 5000 -8000 gals. Not 3000. It should be marked on the frame near the dolly legs. It might be important if you're thinking it's empty, but it's not. John

im with you on the hose reel but please move the medical O2 away from the gas cans we had an incident several years back due to petroleum products being stored in a compartment with medical O2 it was bad.

I know that song, It's my favorite. Oh the truck, yep, it's a beauty!

Why can't you show the department name?

I knew it had to be either a deuce and a half or a GMC from seeing that leaky front axle, then when you said Allison transmission it just confirmed what I was thinking

First of all not sure who told you it was ok to put your bunker gear and fuel in the same compartment. Good luck with that. 26 years in fire service and a state fire instructor makes it hard for me to believe that this station is maintained just for one person. If there are others that run out of this station I would like to think that you would show a little brotherhood spirit and mention them.

So the other tank thing you just made is already been replaced by this?

why did you leave the career sector in colorado?

Old school here too, Love that station !

Did you buy everything?

Nice old engine..🚒

Did the county provide the Fire equipment and you have to maintain and operate them or did you purchase the equipment for your own fire needs or neighbors. How does that work?

Liked the Video... The song in the beginning (around 1:00) is that the beginning to radioactive by Lindsey Sterling and Pentatonix?

Very nice upgrade and you will be well prepared with that engine. The turret from the cab is a bonus. Thanks for all your great videos!

So are you on call? Like you just drive to the station when your called out? Is someone else working out of this station with you?

Man, you seem to have such an incredibly diverse set of skills. Perhaps you've talked about it in a previous video but if not, you should do a video on how you came to acquire them all. I'd love to hear some of the back story on your fire fighting days, where you learned to run big excavating equipment, how you learned your forestry skills, general tool and wood working knowledge, etc. It's very impressive!

"how'd the forest next to your house start fire in the winter???"

We have very similar signs for buses at my job. Every now and then someone yanks the air line, regulator, and concrete anchors off the wall.

I love your "Fail Safe" sign...... here in Australia we call it "Dumb Proofing" LOL...... everyone gets dumb once in a while..... and who hasn't driven out of the shed in a truck and forgotten something....... like the trailer being 2 ft higher than the cab while the door is still going up.... "it'll fit"....no it didn't.... now there is a sign in front of the steering wheel "Wait for door light to turn green before leaving"

nice old scool truck Cody! bom proof!

SO AWESOME! would love to have something like that for a regular daily driver!

You have to maintain all that equipment by yourself?

do they keep anything aboard for chemical fire's

Great service you are providing. That tank from the Army is closer to 8000 gallons.

Thanks for the video Cody. I am a volunteer FF in the community I live in, in Arkansas. Found the video very interesting, thanks!

How do you fill the tanker trailer?

I was very impressed until I saw that Husky in there ;)

You got the Denver tool

Are you subject to inspection and oversight?

How did the tank crack on the old truck?

I took my EVOC on an engine that looked very similar to that about 10 years ago now. Only difference is ours didn't deck gun access from the cab, but still very nice rig!

I want to see the whole truck!!! He shloud of named the vid the inside and underneath of a fire engine

Do you still have this in service?

Are you going to show the top half

Why are you so worried about people knowing where you live it would be hard to find out where you live if people really wanted to I'm just curious is why

Cody how come we have not seen this again?

I believe the pentagon 1033 program applies to any state or local government agencies, not just police departments, which means you could get an army surplus 6x6 or 8x8 fire engine for free from the government.

On my volunteer fire department we have a 3000 gallon tender on a Peterbuilt chassis and it looks to be about half the size of that military unit. I would bet that tank holds 5-6 thousand gallons.

Can we hear it run

What did you do now that I’m getting all your old videos in my feed?
