Been on a volunteer department before and this is what it is like when not many people are around during the day about 8 minutes to get to the station crazy so total time before first Engine on scene is about 15 minutes . Plus not to mention he didn't even take his turnout gear with him except his helmet. So now if a house fire came In he has no gear. Glad he didn't need it on this call and what the hell kinda system is on that on the truck for the sand? Never seen that on a fire Engine.
@POV-Fire-ResponseАй бұрын
This apparatus is our heavy rescue. There is no pump. The oil dry is on top of the apparatus and is gravity fed down a tube to put in buckets. The Engine and small crew where already on scene. One of the crew members had to leave. Thanks for watching.

7.5 minutes code 3 to get to the fire station seems like a long time to me. I'm a vol and in my area nobody is more the 3-4 minutes from their station, and we are not allowed to go code in our POV's.
@POV-Fire-ResponseАй бұрын
It takes a significant amount of time. As a volunteer yourself, you are likely aware of the challenges that fire services are currently facing with volunteers. For instance, 40 years ago, the population stood at 234,000,000, whereas today it has risen to 332,000,000. Emergency calls have also increased from 10,819,000 to 36,416,000 during the same period. The number of volunteer firefighters has decreased from 898,000 to 676,000. This data was reported by ABC 30 news. Is it worth my time, gas, and money to continue volunteering. Living just 7 miles away from the station in Augusta, GA, and volunteering in Beech Island, SC, I could easily stay home. If Augusta, GA, had a volunteer program, I would have likely chosen to volunteer here. I strongly believe that every community should have emergency services to assist people in need. Despite the challenges, I'm passionate about what I do. While there are individuals closer to the station who respond either with their personal vehicle or by getting an apparatus, I usually head straight to the scene in my personal vehicle. Although it is uncommon for me to use an apparatus, there are days when it becomes necessary due to the lack of available responders. Every department has their own way to respond and operate. I thank you for watching and commenting.

@MommyKhaosАй бұрын
So the problem is honestly twofold. 1. New cars are incredibly sound insulated, even cheaper economy cars. Sometimes this is in purpose, other times it's due to the thicker crash structures inside the vehicles. 2. Loud music! Again, even base models are starting to come with freaking subwoofers! So it's pretty easy to blast your music loudly These two combined causes you to not hear sirens and/or horns very easily. Sadly, can't really stop getting manufacturers to stop including either of those things. I've seen some research done into V2X (Vehicle To X) devices that could mute radios and/or speakers inside cars when emergency vehicles are approaching, but no manufacturer seemed to ever want to implement it.
