This was an awesome video you two. Love the in depth walk-around of your PIO unit, showing us every compartment, all the siren controls, etc. I also love that you two use more accurate and realistic terminology while describing incidents and what you two do, instead of more simplified explanations. I'd say a good chunk of your viewers have some knowledge when it comes to this stuff, so it's nice to see things explained correctly and in depth. Love love LOVE what you two are doing with this KZfaq series. Very entertaining, keep up the great work!

I was with Roanoke County Fire Department as an EMT volunteer rescue. I appreciate the new gear you guys have now. When I ran in the mid 1980s, the only guys with bunker/ turnout gear were FFs, not EMTs, and my squad ( now defunct due to embezzlement) had us run with a jumpsuit with our squad logo on the back. Thanks for the video!
