That was an interesting video. Was the decision of the Charlotte Fire Department to assign Truck 18 Tower Ladder because they were one of busiest companies in the City?

Was this the tillers first fire with Charlotte?

The 1999 Spartan/quality had a 75ft Aerial Innovation straight stick, then 1 of 2 Spartan /quality 85 aerial innovations 85 ft rear mount bucket ( note the bucket sides folded down to lower the profile

Thanks for another great Charlotte Fire Station video! Do you know if station 16 was designed by the same architect 16 and 18 seem very similar in appearance to me. Would you please consider doing a video on station 16 as well please sir?🚒👨‍🚒⭐️ Thanks for everything you do for the channel as always!🎉

Was a cop back in mid 90’s and used to hangout between calls at 18. Worked with 18 a lot. Good dudes and Food!!!

This is awesome. Its about time charlotte brings back TDAs.

Of course, the new battalion line companies run a lot of calls together and their current batt configuration so it would only make sense to put them all together in the same battalion geographically

You may already have something in the works, but I think it would be neat to piggyback on this video and expand on the areas covered in each battalion response area ie neighborhoods, landmarks exc. I say this because the recent department yearbook touched on this from a station perspective and I thought it was pretty interesting. Just an idea I wanted to put out there for you to consider nothing more or less and I appreciate all you do!👨‍🚒🚒🇺🇸⭐️

Thanks for the update on the new 9th Battalion. It is great to the Charlotte fire department expanding and growing as well adding fire companies and new stations. I am also most impressed with Charlotte putting 4 new Elevating Platforms in service considering that for a while they didn't have any Elevating Platforms in service. I am looking forward to seeing further updates in the future.

I do have one small question in regards to these changes if you know and if not, that’s fine. It’s just a question out of curiosity more less. Do you know what will happen to the current response areas of the stations being reassigned to different battalions? I assume probably just redistributing those current first do areas to other stations within the same battalions? On a sidenote, based on what I know about the current geographic response areas, the designation of the reassignment of some of the stations into different battalions make very logical sense to me.⭐️🇺🇸 example I know station 12 currently runs a lot of calls with Stations 10 and two already same goes for station 31 currently running a lot of calls with second battalion companies. I have always been confused as to why station 40 is not currently in battalion for anyway. and station five runs a lot of calls with battalion one companies as it is and station 14’s response area pick up close to station 6 ‘s first due area. So I’m proud to say I believe they got it right and put a lot of logical fault into redrawing the battalion lines geographically.⭐️🇺🇸🚒👨‍🚒

That powercall is amazing

Awesome video! looking forward to these new changes!

You said Battalion 5 works out of Station 25. Should be Battalion 6. I enjoy the videos. Keep 'em coming.

Love this video it’s so good to see your back at it with awesome content! Wishing you and the channel continued success in 2025 and thank you so much for all the effort you put into your channel. As a sidenote, I hope you keep the awesome all about Charlotte fire department content coming as well.⭐️🇺🇸🚒👨‍🚒

Will they build a new station 2??? They sure need a new one!!!!!

#firetruck

Keep up the good work!

Which dept would be the best to work for if you wanna get fires and accidents? You know, be a firefighter

Hey buddy, I had an idea today and suggestion for your all about series. I know you’ve already done a video on the modern day. CFD and some of this you may have already touched on in that video. I was just wondering if you might consider covering some additional topics and or angles in the series one being the earlier history of CFD and what has contributed to shaping them into the department they are today. Second I know that you have covered several individual stations in the CFD family, which I love that you have taken that unique approach.. just merely as a suggestion. I was wondering if you might consider doing a video series of sorts on the different battalions in the city and cover a little bit of what has shaped each battalion over the years.. again these are merely suggestions and ideas. Nothing more nothing less and this goes without saying that I appreciate all of the content you put together for us. Let me know if I can be of any assistance with resources or anything if need be. I hope you enjoy your evening and happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well.

Wicked awesome shots!

Will the charlotte Fire Dept build a new station 2, THEY SURE NEED IT!!!!!!!

Hey buddy as you know by now I really enjoy and appreciate all your content especially the all about Charlotte fire and or station videos for Charlotte. I don’t know how many more episodes you have planned in the series but I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind covering stations 2,12,16 and 18 when and if you have time thanks in advance. Keep up the great work. By no means am I trying to be ungrateful or choosy by making a suggestion I hope you know that. Enjoy your evening and be safe.🚒👨‍🚒⭐️🇺🇸

Should’ve stuck to Smeal Apparatus

You should come do Randolph County Fire Departments. Everything from completely rural to small cities.

As you know by now, I really enjoy and appreciate the all about series especially when you focus on Charlotte’s individual stations. I don’t at all mean to be choosy but if possible is there a way you might could feature stations 2, 16. and 12. This is my favorite series of yours, but I am a little biased toward Charlotte. I’ve been a fan of theirs since the days of fire chief Luther Fincher.. regardless keep up the great work thanks for the amazing content and level of detail that you put in to all of your videos, especially the all about series. I always look forward to seeing what you come up with.⭐️🚒👨‍🚒 I learned something new with each one of your videos and that is really refreshing and interesting. I had no idea they had originally planned to put the rescue at station 42. I know I have asked before, and by no means is it my intention to pester you with asking? Are there any plans for developing a Charlotte fire alarm video by chance? I just think it would really make for an interesting video if you could find enough content to make it worthy of a video. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and have a great weekend. Keep conquering with your amazing content!⭐️🇺🇸🚒👨‍🚒

Yet again good work!

Love your work keep it up! You should come to Henderson county we got some real cool trucks down here

Congratulations as always thanks for the great content keep it coming! I’m glad you got to take some time off enjoy yourself!⭐️🇺🇸🚒😊

What is the minimum staffing for engines and ladders. And ladders with pumps and hose are usually called quints. Because they are called ladders which means rescue and ventilation, why spend the money for pumps and hose? Do the ladders go on rescue assignments like mvc's with entrapment (I assume a heavy rescue and engine company also responds).

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! SHOUT OUT FROM LOUISVILLE AND SOUTHERN INDIANA

Some more great photos! Yet to disappoint!

I love the information you share! Are you planing a video talking about the tankers and specialty units they have. Like the Vent, deluge and foams.

Loving these All Abouts! Any plans to do Cornelius-Lemley?

It brings tears to my eyes whenever a VFD ceases to exist. 😢

As a past volunteer and part time firefighter, I’ve run into many brands of engines and ladder/platform trucks. I I will full admit, I am biased for Pierce brand, after working with e-one, kme, spartan, and so many others I can’t even remember, Pierce always came out on top for us. Maintenance, support from the company, and ease of operation, always had good luck with Pierce. E-one would be a distant second, not close because the truck is good for about a year, then the E-one curse hits, and stuff starts not working right. A southern fire truck manufacturer that in New England, especially New Hampshire, with the temperature ranges, from -30 degrees to over a hundred degrees, e one didn’t perform well, long term. Plus, most of our major fires, happened during the coldest day nature could find, mill fires, industrial, farm houses in the middle of nowhere with minimal or no water supply. It was interesting.

Keep up the good work

These are so cool

🔥🔥🔥

Do you know when Engine 6 is supposed to go back in-service?

Can you tell us what each engine carries in the hose bed? I would like to know the length and size of each hose carried, ladder complement and what is carried in the upper compartments that are attached to the hose bed cover. Thank you very much.

I do have two questions as well. One may seem a little naïve. That being said I know Charlotte fire has 43 stations and operates two engine companies out of station 42 does engine 65 not count as a second engine for statistical purposes. I’m only asking because I honestly don’t know. I’m not trying to correct the information you provided in the video at all. Also, do you still plan on doing a video about Charlotte fire alarm? I know when we spoke before you were tentatively trying to put a video together if you could find some good sources of information. Also do you have anyone Charlotte station videos planned? As always I greatly appreciate the work and effort you put into your channel and content! Please keep the awesome content coming! Enjoy your week!⭐️🇺🇸🚒👨‍🚒

Thank you so much for this upload. As you know, I have been waiting on this.🚒👨‍🚒⭐️🇺🇸🎉 keep up the great work and this also goes without saying, but you are one of my favorite TH-cam channels😊

Great video, our department ordered a quint based partially off Harrisburg's specifications. It's like a Harrisburg and Chattanooga quint had a baby. We also ordered from Smeal/Atlantic Coast Fire Trucks.

Could you do one for the city of Salisbury ?

The thumbnail is a confusing perspective because the water tower looks like it is attached to the fire engine

Enjoy your videos and the great information. How about Gastonia?

Now they have 12 new Pierce Enforcer fire apparatus on order. 7 pumpers, 3 107ft ascendant dual axle quints & 2 tiller quints with all having a 2000 gpm pump

Hey buddy, I hope you’re having a nice evening. I just wanted to mention for your upcoming Charlotte video if you can touch on the new battalion nine and what stations will be in the new battalion if you know. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work! I appreciate what you do for the channel!🇺🇸🚒👨‍🚒

Good video! Appreciate your hard work
