What's INSIDE a $1,000,000 Heavy Rescue?
Рет қаралды 95,367
Күн бұрынWe are at Alert Fire Company No. 1 in Downingtown, PA to check out their $1,000,000 Pierce Heavy Rescue! Alert Fire Company needed a heavy rescue that could handle everything from water rescues to train wrecks. With such a wide variety of possible hazardous environments a rescue of this size can take anything thrown at it. Being part of the county rescue task force means that not only is the Downingtown area well taken care of, but also the rest of the county! This 2006 Pierce Heavy Rescue has helped the community greatly!

Greetings from Japan. I am a firefighter of Tokyo Metropolitan Fire Department. I just shared this video with my colleagues and we unanimously agreed this HRV is now the wet dream of our entire station. Our HRVs (which we refer as Hyper Rescue Vehicle) have similar equipments but not as comprehensive as the one in the video. We’ll need two different types of HRV to match the equipments equipped in this one. However, we do have more equipments and supplies that are specifically for earthquake search&rescue and hazardous materials situation. It’s fascinating to observe the difference between HRVs in the US and Japan! Wondering does all HRV in fire departments of United States are similar to this? Or this is just happen to be the few outstanding ones? Excellent video! Stay safe.

Hierzu muss man allerdings auch erwähnen, dass die Einsatzbelastung im Gegensatz zu einer FFW in Deutschland sehr hoch ist. Das Einsatzgebiet ist recht klein und hat "nur" ca. 5.000 Einwohner. Dennoch liegt die Einsatzzahl bei ca. 450-500 Einsätzen im Jahr. Die Einsatzbelastung der zweiten Feuerwache ist sogar im Schnitt etwas höher (ohne Medizinische Einsätze, da diese auch RTWs beheimaten). Ebenfalls sollte man im Hinterkopf behalten, dass wie im Video erwähnt, ein recht großer Steinbruch, eine Eisenbahnstrecke und ein "Autobahnabschnitt" teil des Einsatzgebietes ist.

They have a lot more than 2 volunteers show up. Also they are not an engine company, Downingtown is split into two separate Fire companies so they respond to rescues.
@DowntownDeuce2 3 жыл бұрын
@@HeroesNextDoor I understand that; but since they are probably responding with one or two on the apparatus, with the remainder of personnel arriving on scene piecemeal, by private or individual vehicles, the 8 &10 man cabs are not necessary. That piecemeal arrival also obviates the need for multiple reels to conduct simultaneous operation. Both in theory, and in practice, operations become sequential, not simultaneous. That is problematic in an all volunteer agency, where fire and rescue response are time sensitive. Unless they are waiting to assemble at the firehouse before responding on the apparatus en masse, (which I pray they are not for the public's sake) arrivals will be staggered, and consequently operations become sequential, not simultaneous. I never suggested that they were an "engine company," it is obvious that the apparatus is a heavy rescue.
