- Lutherville Volunteer Fire Company is a place where everyone should want to volunteer. In their Station Cribs episode you see that they have everything a new volunteer or even a veteran would want. The Station Rigs episode dives deep into their SPECIAL RESCUE. We have never seen a rig like this before. Squad 303 is a tool that was build to meet the needs of the community. Not only are we able to open every door and look inside but we get to see this unit in action. Take just a few minutes and check it out for yourselves. Tell us what you think. Is this a unit still needed, or is it becoming obsolete?
"Squad 303 is a 2008 Pierce Velocity Heavy Duty Rescue and seats up to eight personnel. As LVFC represents one of few stations equipped for “Heavy Rescue”, this specific piece of apparatus serves a first-due “rescue” coverage area of approximately 45-square miles, which includes the communities of Towson, Lutherville, Timonium, Ruxton, Stoneleigh, Cockeysville, Brooklandville, Greenspring, Hampton, Parkville, Long Green, Jacksonville, and Hereford.
Due to the unique tools and capabilities of this piece of apparatus, in addition to responding to rescue assignments (vehicular entrapment, high angle rescue, water rescue, and building / trench collapses) throughout central Baltimore County, Squad 303 also responds to fires assigned either as a rescue or a floodlight unit.
Squad 303 key equipment features include: a 10-ton National Crane; a 20,000 lb. bumper mounted winch; a 30kw Harrison hydraulic generator; a full complement of Holmatro Core Technology hydraulic rescue tools including multiple spreaders, cutters, rams and combi tools; and, a Will-Burt light mast."

As a former volunteer gf and current crane operator, it’s cool to see my worlds collide! I’ve seen photos of a few US rescues with cranes. If there were a rig like this closer to me I’d love to help train new operators.
@@heli-crewhgs5285 ha! Stupid autocorrect
Drew
YES me also. I own my own Backhoe. It will lift
9000 pounds on the front Loader. Backhoe will normally lift 3580, and Maximum 7580 ( max is close to backhoe and within 45° of each side of backhoe) have a box full of straps and a bunch of different size chains. It's mostly my play toy, but boy would love to train FF on lifting with it, like you want to do. I love that the crane platform is just like a flatbed boom truck setup. LA county has a very heavy duty large class A tow truck of their own. Would like to see more FDs around the US incorporate these cranes into specs. on new builds of special purpose Rescue Rigs.
@@rp1645 yeah no that’s not the same and that’s even stupider when your chains snap don’t call 911
**AS BEING A FORMER VOL IN BALTIMORE CO & STILL KEEP UP ON THINGS......** squad 303 has been req'd for calls thru out the entire co & even surrounding Co's for the use of this crane, balt city req'd a few mos ago.
*U NEED TO CK OUT STATION 17 IN BALT....* they are home of USAR(tractor trailer), boat, eng & the only career tower/platform trk in BCoFD. Chris mentioned them in this vid, they just performed hi angle res for cardiac arrest in a 50'tree, all while performing CPR against a limb until ropes were set up.
My dad was there
What I really like about your channel is how you show us civilians what goes into you guys and gals keeping us safe everyday. Hats off to you all and keep up the good work, we appreciate you
I know I’ve said it before I absolutely love love love love love this channel. Mike keep up the great work
Thanks. Keep spreading the word for others so we can keep building and bring you more
@@HeroesNextDoor you know another cool thing I’d love to see is you going to county Emergency management and seeing what they use for equipment, our county has its own emergency services unit which respond to hazmat situations.
Not a fire fighter in Howard county but I’d recommend looking into coming down here, specifically station 10 (special operations) and station 5(has a very cool rescue)
The department has to email him to Cortinate that
@@Leotheconstructionguy right on
People who are opposed to fire departments owning and operating rotator rigs need to remember that in a their is a golden hour regarding survival of traumatic injuries, like being involved in an mva, where a rotator rig is necessary for rescue. Commercial tow companies typically cannot respond to an incident code 3. They arrive when they have time. A human life may be in the balance!
That an awesome truck thanks for showing us
Good choice going with the Milwaukee tools and lights. My FMO went this line right after I started in 2019, and have added to the list ever since. The light towers are second to none, and the sawzalls are great. The crane is excellent. Great set up and organization.
And that they use ( Husqvarna) me personally a Husky will start so much easier than any other brand of chain saw. I know people swear by the German brand. We used that brand everyday at work. They sometimes are very hard starting. The Husky will START when you need it NOW, like an Emergency. We just got a Husqvarna pole saw, just a wee bit heavier than the German brand we had. But starting wise. The Husky starts all the time, every time. I'm just a worker who uses both brands every day. Not a salesman for one brand.
Seen photos of this truck for years, fantastic to see a video
NICE Rescue rig, thanks for the video!
Great job by the presenter. Good questions to help us understand the equipment. From a former wildland firefighter.
Great content! Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Luther I’ll has come a long way with their Crane mounted truck, I can remember when I visited the Baltimore Fire Expo many years ago and I got to visit the Lutherville station, and at that time I believe they had a Six Wheel truck with a crane and I found it to be very impressive
NOW, I am Totally awed at this new rescue unit they have😊
I got to see this truck pretty much right when it was finished being built. It was still at the rescue plant at Pierce and hadn't made it's way to the blue floor for these guys to do the final inspection.
I was in a head on collision June 11! Two rams were used to get my legs free! Now the funny part.. I was a volunteer firefighter in Tennessee. I’ve used spreaders, cutters and jacks… but rams hadn’t been supplied. But the knowledge of how we operate is what helped me communicate the pressure I felt as the drivers door was being cut off. Once that was done was told they were using two rams to lift the dashboard assembly off me. Keep in mind I sit fourteen inches from my steering wheel. It sat on my pelvic area after being hit. A huge shoutout to Clay Fire Station 21 in Saint Joseph County Indiana for the rescue. Two in Two out!
Great video, liked and shared 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒
great job love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is near my hometown! I was born in Jacksonville! Shoutout to JVFC
This rig is something @RonPratt needs to see! Wow!
AWESOME!!
Thank you my friend for finally showing one of these crane platforms on a Heavy Rescue. I love how it's set up just like a flatbed Boom truck would have. Makes TRAINING so much easier.
I like to see a Fire company on Heavy Rescue using ( Husqvarna gas tool's) what say you about that brand.
Thanks for watching
WHOA! Impressive.
Awesome. I wish code3 had made a die cast of this truck
TALK ABOUT RARE AND SPECIAL ! I WAS RIGHT WERE YOU SHOWED THE HYDRO TOOLS ! DOWN I WENT ! GOT DARK ,WOKE UP AFTER 3 HOUR CORATED ARTERY SURGERY !

MUCH LOVE BROTHER MIKE 🙏 🇺🇲
Thank you for sharing. Hope all is ok. Enjoy the videos and there are much more to come.
Los Angeles FD, or Los Angeles County Fire, has 2 heavy rescue cranes in service. Theirs look more like the heavy duty tow trucks(except it’s a crane instead of a tow hitch). Pretty cool to see them actually being used during an incident. You can find videos on TH-cam with them being used.
It’s called a rotator they are tow trucks. the fd one can tow its a50ton the cty 1 doesn’t because of its weight it’s a 65ton
As a former volunteer ff we had a vehicle rescue truck, it was huge, back then 1990s it was listed as a heavy rescue. I haven't seen the new equipment to replace as I'm now 2 states away and 25 years later. nothing really volunteer around here.
Spiffy Rescue! Can that rig’s crane help people who can’t parallel park?
Budget friendly HR unit. For those that don’t have a large budget like big cities that 75ton tow trucks
You should visit Cincinnati northern Kentucky international airport fire department super cool trucks and super cool guys!!
Very Kool!! Ya’ll plz keep heads on a swivel. A Cleveland Firefighter was killed this week on a rollover scene. Thanksgivings a busy one. I had a close call. Zero visibility “Tule” fog in county hwy intersection stabilizing a c-spine I hear brakes locked up. I lye across driver just as car just slid by…in opposite, wrong lane!! Thank You Lord!
Thanks for sharing. Stay safe everyone!!!
Roto ray? Aight, Imma head out. 😂
Y’all should go to Bladensburg for the next station cribs.
Definitely, or the new station 2
In germany crane rigs are quite a widespread thing. Especially once you get into disaster relief and civil protection. There is still not enough cranes tho.
They are common in Holland too. This is the first I've seen in USA. When they did the Station Crib the other week, in the aerial shot at the beginning I thought it was a Squirt!
@@stevejones5824 What’s the difference between a Squirt and a Quint? Thanks.
@Allen SQURT, TELESQURT, and similar devices (generally called Squirts) are - to my understanding - basically just giant, pointy deck guns that can swivel 360°, elevate, and - especially in the case of the TELESQURT - telescope the way that that crane does. They're not very common, I've yet to see one outside of photos in a book/on an HO Scale fire truck model, but they have a VERY high water output and are great for getting A LOT of water right where it's needed. @Steve Jones , did you wanna add anything? Did I get that right?
@@brandongaines1731 Isn't Quint a multi-purpose apparatus?
@@PriceTheCourier good question! A Quint is a multi-purpose apparatus, yes - I don't remember the specifics for all 5 of the qualifications (hence "Quint"), but it has to have a manned aerial unit (a ladder, platform, or tower) of at least a certain length; a full compliment of ground ladders; two hose preconnects of at least a certain square footage each; storage compartments totalling at least a certain cubic footage; and a pump of at least a certain GPM output with an internal water tank of at least a certain capacity. A Squirt is different - it uses a very high-output, telescoping water cannon in place of a manned aerial unit (ladder, platform, or tower), therefore a Squirt can not qualify as a Quint.
This format of rescue truck is really common in Japanese fire departments. They are called Super Rescues. They are about a 50% smaller than this American Super Rescue. Super Rescues were made common after the Kobe Earthquake out of a need for earthquake collapse rescue.
Thanks for sharing
Many rescue companies have Wrecker Trucks for their heavy rescue trucks
Where are you from cause that’s not the case around us
ONLY rescue in Balto. Co. with a crane the old rescue had a crane also
Welcome to baltimore
It was awesome
Baltimore city next????😁
they haveone like this in nutley nj idk if its still in service
Can you please come to Aberdeen Maryland
Please send us an official invite to watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com so we can get that done.
Can you review the Down Town Knoxville Fire Station
We need an invite from the station so if you can make that happen we will get it done.
I'm a volunteer fire fighter in Australia, and am interested in the portable winch that you have on this rig. Any info or directions as to where I could find one would be hugely appreciated
BTW love the channel
We have one on our rescue. It is a regular winch that you would put on your truck. Just mounted on a hitch receiver mounting plate. We use rope instead of wire cable.
Why wouldn’t you just google it? I’m fairly certain portable winches aren’t a new thing in Australia….
DAMN! And this is a volunteer company?!?!?!
It’s crazy isn’t it? I’d love to know how they fund these stations and trucks.
And to think most of our remaining volunteer departments get hand me downs from the local city departments
@@Jimmythefish577 I would like to know how many hours these volunteers train per week and how many volunteers they have. This truck here requires some heavy training!
@@sandyschannel6917 I volunteered for nearly 20 years with a few different departments, and none of those crews had anything close to this! Our first out engine in Wolf Creek, Oregon was 17 years old.
@@HighwayLand 99% of major cities don’t buy these rigs . Because they aren’t needed. the city of LA has a large wrecker attached to the heavy rescue. But usually uses it to tow torn up rigs . Just a miss use of funds I think. Looks cool though.
We used to have them on our rescues but had to take them off as you needed a crane operators ticket and the training hours needed was too much
Unfortunately, they have committed the cardinal sin of rigging that so many fall afoul of.
Crosby makes it explicitly clear, that with a Wedge Socket, a U-Bolt is NEVER to be used to 'marry' the live side of the wire to the dead end. Essentially, the practice can unseat the wedge itself.
Using your favorite search engine, look for "Crosby wedge socket termination" and you will find clear guidance on Industry Best Practice for this method of wire termination.
No blame on the Volunteers, this is a routine error one can spot across so many industrial lifting operations.
What
Rescue
take a trip to harford county to aberdeen fire company theyhave a rescue with a crane
How do the volunteers get mobilised by pagers or radio
Pagers
Come check out OWL in Woodbridge, VA. Reach out to me for more info!
@ Heroes Next Door, I know this was a demonstration, but remind the men of the use of tag lines while guiding suspended loads. (I'm not trying to be a keyboard quarterback, just helping)
Absolutely, any time you see someone 'touching' a load, it is a sign of inadequate or improper training. 100% tag lines are the only way to go.
It is not a matter of "IF" a load will be dropped, it is simply 'When'.
Tag Lines keep you out of harms way, it's as simple as that.
I would have done thumbs up except for the crane operator not wearing PPE. He didn't have at minimum a hard hat or fire helmet. (even a tech rescue helmet might be best suited for this). Also did not have gloves on. I couldn't tell. If he had safety glasses. Personal observation would be if it's a fire apparatus shouldn't outriggers have warning light on ground tip to identify location just as aerial apparatus have. Thanks for your time. Keep up the outstanding vlogs.
Great point thanks for watching
Wow Doc, you sound like a ton of fun to be around….
@@Jimmythefish577 So many 'other' people end up injured because someone did not speak up.
When one has the benefit of proper training, and does not flag up unsafe practices, shame on them.
When someone else wants to mock that same person for having taken the effort to share established best practices, shame on you.
Why do you always include some goofy soyjack face in the thumbnail
😂🤣 it’s a TH-cam thing. Helps catch attention. I laugh every time my editors come up with one 😂🤪
I only clicked to say why look up click bait do better.
Why would you say click bait. This is a crane. We even lift a car with it !
Too bad no one knows how to buy tag lines to secure the load in the air. Crane safety 101, stay away from the suspended load.
Morning, first I Love the warning before posting a comment. I think you having members so close to the vehicle while you are moving is dangerous and I know probably and hopefully you all have added TAGLINES for future deployment when using the crane function. I love the simplicity of the crane and functionality it has. Great job!!! You all be safe and keep training and THANK YOU 🙏🏽 FOR ALL YOU ALL ARE DOING!
Nothing personal but they don’t need this rig . The money could have been spent elsewhere on more useful equipment. It would be cheaper to just have a crane or wrecker company on standby. By the looks of the rigging and standing almost under the vehicle they need way more training. That’s just from my observation from the video. It is a cool truck but not practical. Stay safe !
This rig was needed at the time of purchased cause there was no Wrecker or crane that could service the roadways. They most likely won’t replace it with another cause now there is
How often would you really need to use that crane big waste of tax payers money . That dumb moving a vehicle off the highway. Tow company problem not fire companies
Years ago they used it a lot. Now not so much but it’s is a great tool when you need it and not have to rely on others
