An interesting fact about fire trucks that you missed is that fire trucks with a ladder are usually referred to as "trucks" and fire trucks without ladders are usually referred to as "engines".
Why did they not teach me that distinction in kindergarten
@@-NGC-6302- I learned it from my dad who's a firefighter. I'm not sure how many people who aren't around firefighters all the time know this. 🤔
I see
Where I’m from we just call them “ladder trucks”
In Michigan they’re called “Towers”
Every time I see a fire truck a deep childhood based nostalgia gets excited
Same
Nothing quite like the sound of a Q2B siren ripping thru an intersection
The one thing I would add is a section on squads/rescues. Long story short they're trucks that cut back on firefighting capability in order to carry more specialized rescue tools. Short story long is that they may or may not have a pump & water tank and they prioritize cabinet space in order to carry all the tools a regular engine wouldn't. Where a regular engine might only carry a few hydraulic tools and maybe a car crash kit, squads have all the bells & whistles: rescue airbags, struts & ratchet straps, maybe some specialized stuff like water rescue equipment or grain bin tubes, etc.
I was thinkin hazardous materials trucks aswell.
It was easy to tell that many of the airport firetrucks featured in the video were not American, because they were red. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration requires that firetrucks for airport use be painted in the light-green color called "national safety yellow" in federalese. Some cities have adopted the color for their entire fire departments, so that outside equipment can also serve the airport.
Go watch south metro fire rescue fleet Friday for RED 1. That is in the united states
According to FAA documentation, the yellowish green (that is what the FAA ACTUALLY calls it) color is not mandatory. It is however required for vehicles obtained through federal grants, which is why it is generally followed. So most major airports with new ARFF equipment will have it in that color. But there are still red ARFF trucks in the U.S., particularly older ones or reserve trucks.
@@frb5237 Thanks for the more precise information. I was reporting from memory of what I'd read and was a little off. The color really is called "national safety yellow" by some vehicle and equipment manufacturers (Ram Tucks, for instance). It's used for more than just firetrucks.
I work on a USAF base in the US. The Fire Engineers drive red trucks
@@cly-9128 Okay, but USAF fire trucks are purchased from the defense budget, not with FAA grants, so they aren't subject to FAA regulations.
Yay fire trucks! I love fire trucks.
Could you make a Trolleybus video? I'd really appreciate that
In Australian bush fire response (CFA personally) we practiced drive by spraying like mentioned in the brush trucks, but far less sophisticated than the clip used.
CFA tankers feature walking space (sometimes seats) around the tank in the back where crew will stand and man hoses. 2 people will be in the back spraying the fire front while the tanker drives.
Weird seeing you here
Just sliding in here with some fact I heard on the 99 Percent Invisible podcast:
Fire engine sirens in 1912 reached about 96 decibels when measured 11 feet away.
In 1974, it reached 114 decibels at 11 feet away.
Current day sirens (2023) reached up to 123 decibels at about that same distance.
Every ten decibels is ten times the sound pressure to the ears and twice as loud in our experience of hearing it, so sirens are six times louder now than in 1912.
Thanks for the facts Roman Mars.
I love it! Let's get a specialized truck series! Something super interesting to me are the various types of military trucks. I love the 70s/80s blocky utilitarian ones the most, like the Austrian Steyr-Puch that the G Wagon came from
Would like to see some soviet trucks too, like the maz 7310 or maz 537
I think it's a great idea. If you have questions about US military trucks, I would be happy to help, I've spent many years working on and driving a wide variety of them
Loved the video mate. I've been a firefighter for the last 9 years in my hometown in rural Australia.
A quick tidbit is that our bushfire fighting trucks (or wildland as you call it) are on the contrary often much heavier than their urban counterparts as they have to carry more water so they can operate for longer and more isolated from a water source.
In addition they can spray while moving as they often have a second, smaller motor to run the pump, thus adding more weight, while urban trucks run on a PTO system.
Balancing weight and off-road capabilities is an often difficult juggle for truck designers so we have a litany of smaller, lighter, shorter wheelbased trucks designed to get up mountain goat tracks.
Also an interesting feature that bush trucks often have protection systems like a cab and wheel protection sprinkler system and deployable heat shields incase a fire overruns you (hopefully you won't ever need it though).
Lastly I've never understood why American fire trucks look so unique and archaic. Ours and European trucks are effectively a commercial brand cab and chassis with a tank ladder and pump on the back.
Thanks for the video mate. Cool topic
I too have wondered about the difference in appearance of our vehicles. I think a lot of it comes down to the fact that in the USA our fire apparatus manufacturers are almost completely independent of other commercial truck manufacturers so they don’t share the qualities of those vehicles. Whereas in Europe they are produced by the same companies that make semis like MAN, Scania, etc.
@@chirpyr6219 our trucks are typically a mix of European and Japanese trucks typically consisting of Scania (as featured at 6:46 by the 050 Hornsby pumper), Isuzu, Hino and Fuso.
US engines look so different because their built from the ground up for the purpose. This leads to better ergonomics and a more efficient design. US engines are larger due to the larger service radius they serve
I like a good 5.1 or a 4.1
From my experience in New Jersey (seems like Australia thought the past few months). We run pickups with a 200-400 gallon tank while our engines carry around 1000-1500 gallon tanks. Theoretically there is nothing stopping us mechanically from pumping and rolling, however since we have a hose on a reel as our outlet, our standard operating guidelines are to put it in park.
I thought I was going crazy at first when I saw the tiller truck moving diagonally
Surprised heavy rescue apparatus wasn't included. They're very common in major US cities, and even small towns have heavy rescues. Heavy rescues can carry a lot more equipment, unlike other fire apparatus, and this equipment is used for special applications like extrications, hazardous materials, trench rescues, etc.
Would love a follow up with a comparison for american/european/african?/asian (airport) fire trucks
Well Airport fire truck are quite similar (thanks to international standard I gusss ?)
I would still love a video on European normal firetruck since it’s completely different that American one
This truck is the reason a lot of people don’t die
its also the reason why my eardrums are shot
@@yeoldeseawitch rip lmao
@@yeoldeseawitch rip
Just because an Engine doesn't have a mounted aerial ladder, doesn't mean that it has no ladder on board or that the range of equipment is very basic. Many Engines feature an extensive range of equipment besides the pump and tank
"a boom attached to a house" ... I kind of believe it's rather a hose attached to a boom
8:09 only in North America it takes a seperate crew member to steer the rear axle, while pretty much ANY other country has figured out how it works with automatic rear-wheel steering or even with all-wheel steering; Upon that the massive long Tiller Trucks still have only a 100 ft ladder, not any taller than rather short trucks with an equally tall ladder
Tiller truck pov videos are always very interesting to watch
I’m a under employed school bus driver, thanks for the shout out. We as a society NEED to give bus drivers more respect. It’s a difficult job.
You do this well. I admire your research. You put a great effort in your script and your voice is broadcast quality. I'm looking forward to your next video.
fun fact you can see almost any possible fire truck from almost any country in the philippines, very small japanese pumping truck all the way up to big american with long noses ones. and even sometimes one with an tanker trailer,
To me the coolest type will always be fire-cranes, simply because they're both a fire engine and a mobile crane, the two coolest vehicles in one
Congrats on the Sponsorship.
as a kid who loved planes and trucks, airport fire trucks were literally the coolest shit ever
Hey man, I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos! I never had any appreciation for trucking until I became subscribed to your channel. Keep up your amazing content!
You should do a whole series on fire trucks around the world
Can you do the Irish trucking scene 😎
We have a tiller truck here in Asheville! First one I’ve seen in my life and love seeing it snake around downtown
Here's more list of fire trucks: Rescue Units. As the name suggest, Rescue Unit are specialized on doing Rescue related stuffs and sometimes they have a small crane probably to lift flipped cars and more. Squad units are pickup trucks that are modified to bring tools these units are small so they can navigate tight areas easily. HAZMAT unit are specialized to do hazardous materials related stuffs. Fire command vehicle AKA Battalion Vehicle are vehicles used by a senior officer of a fire dept to respond to a fire incidents. Mobile Command Center (My favorite) are massive vehicle used as a mobile base and communication center, they often stationed near crisis center or natural disaster. Mobile Clinic are vehicle used for transporting mass casualties. SCBA supplier units are used for a long fire calls and resupplies the firefighters' SCBAs, sometimes they also have Light tower to lit up the scene. And there are more fire apparatus but I am so tired from writing this so yeah that's all
You missed my favorite type of old fire apparatus, the chemical engine. They were introduced in the early to mid 1800s with the idea being since steam engines take a while to get up to pressure and a quicker response is better to stop a fire from spreading. So you get a tank of water and attach a mechanism to mix sodium bicarbonate and sulphuric acid together. This would produce a ton of CO2, and pressure, which would be used to propel the water out of the tank.
there are so many special extinguishing agents that there are entire apparatus only for those. From powder to foam and carbondioxide or even nitrogen
I don’t know if it’d be too different from what you usually do, but a video on ambulances would be neat. Where I’m from most ambulances are either Toyota Hiaces, Mercedes Sprinters, or Toyota Land Cruisers.
Very cool
I wonder if trophy / racing trucks would make for a good video too
Yukon back at it with more awesome content. Always quick with the new videos too, don’t know how you do it
My favorite type of fire truck is the water tanker, usually because they're an old semi truck or purpose built tanker. My county has a 1980's Peterbilt 377 hooked up to an ancient Fruehauf tanker, usually driven by younger firefighters
You forgot one thing about brush trucks, they are mostly Heavy-duty pickups (F-450, RAM 5500, ect...) not full-size trucks
depends on the country; Many countries in Europe will barely use any pickups and rather use full-size trucks as brush trucks, like Unimog, Tatra, Zetros and other normal trucks with offroad chassis
And also I forgot. 4 quints a multi purpose truck. It is a variation of trucks, a ladder truck,a rescue truck, a fire engine/pumper truck,and sometimes a HAZMAT truck
10 minute long video??? 😍 hell yeah
Awesome video, that was really pleasing 👍
I have more info. Platform truck is a tower truck as their name. And here are the trucks u missed. 1hazmattruck used for chemical or hazardous material within a fire. 2 rescue truck a truck used for rescue operations and has apapurtus for harder missions like lost people at sea. 3 heavy equipment as I say it is used for earthquakes and collapsed building's and also works with rescue truck. The "heavy equipment"truck has a trailer for a bulldozer for moving ruble and dirt or a boat for sea missions and that's all u missed
thx ! that was nice summary!
Do a video on cab under trucks!
Oilwell firetrucks and sometimes "firetanks" to put out the most stubborn fires to put out.
I'd hope there's a video about the history of Tow trucks and the variants soon
A fire truck with no ladder that has an internal water tank is usually called a pumper and trucks with a ladder mounted behind the cab like the one on the left at 8:39 are usually called tower trucks or a tower ladder truck
Great channel, really well done videos
my grandpa used to drive an operations centre fire truck. A truck which would go to large fires, and contained communications equipment used to coordinate other appliances and helicopters.
I thinks something worth mentioning is the fact that America is unique in the sense that they have chassis made specifically for fire trucks such as Seagrave and Pierce. In most other countries the same cabs that are used for commercial trucking is also used on fire apparatus unlike America which likes to make their own cabs specifically for fire apparatus.
other countries tried that approach as well but most of those designs never caught on, apart from ARFF Crash Tenders.
@@EnjoyFirefighting yeah exactly, I definitely know some countries in Africa did that as well but that’s about it it.
@@EnjoyFirefightingAlso international fire Trucks built on commercial Truck chassis are cheaper and easier to maintain, while often outperforming their US built counterparts.
I love your fire truck videos
We have a few brush trucks here. They are pickup based with tanks up to 300 gallons for putting out small brush fires. Each house has at least one.
Great videos man.
Awesome video!
In theme with this video, a video about the history of ambulances would be neat.
About advertising.
vpn ≠ security
VPNs won't make you 100% "invisible" to... whatever you want. However, all commercial vpn necessarily collect and sell information about your activities (even if they say they don't). Maybe you will somehow hide from your internet provider, but never from the owners of the vpn itself.
Holy crap, never thought id see my hometown on a yukon vid!
Tiller trucks, wow how did i not know that some truck also steer in the back, amazing!
They are a bit of an outdated design as they are outperformed by smaller, non tiller ladders, and often more expensive than those.
But US fire Deps still seem to prefer them over other Trucks.
I am constantly confused by how old american firetrucks look in comparison by European ones. Like, they look like out of the 60s, while in Europe they look like out of the 2000s.
Many of them ARE out of the 1960s or close. Firetrucks get incredibly low mileage on them; so, if their bodies are constructed to last as long as their drivetrains, the truck can have a very long useable life. Also, some of the European firetrucks shown are built on modern-looking cab-over chassis shared with the trucking industry. That option is hardly available in North America, where trucking hasn't used cab-overs in a generation, so the firetruck manufacturers most often build their own cabs with the rest of the vehicle.
European fire vehicles do need to navigate small spaces, unlike in America were there’s isn’t really packed spaces
@@RT-PDthere absolutely are packed spaces in the US, especially in the Major cities.
Smaller Trucks would be a huge benefit for Most US fire Departments, but firefighters in the US are deep rooted in Tradition and will often reject new Equipment and tactics, especially if they didnt originate from the US.
This is unrelated because it's not an american fire truck and also because it is very specialized at this task, but in France's border with Italy exist strange looking fire trucks: the Janus trucks. These trucks have two heads (as the name Janus impies) allowing them to be driven both ways without needing to make a U-turn. That's because the tunnel of the Mont Blanc (the c is silent!) is too narrow for a fire truck to make a U-turn in. On top of having 2 cabins making it easier to maneuver since each set of wheels can be controlled independently by each cabin.
It's nice to hear that a crustacean is breaking the mold and entering higher education instead of scavening the sea floor for nutrients.
Would still love to see more South American/Caribbean trucking vids. Very curious about Chile, and those dangerous Andes.
There are tons of other types of fire trucks to go over! Like Hazmat trucks, Heavy Rescue trucks, Ventilation Truck, Mass Casuality Trucks, Decontamination Trucks, Urban Search and Rescue Trucks, Even mobile command center fire trucks and more!
My clients are gonna love this video
The grains of sand joke was pretty great
Engine: holds/pumps water and fire hose
Ladder: has an aerial ladder and ground ladders
Tiller: articulating ladder truck
Platform: has a bucket at the end of the ladder
Rescue/squad: will carry specialty tools for complex operations
Brush: small water tank and off road capability
Tender: has a large water tank and sometimes a pump
Crash Tender: large foam/water tank and off-road capability
Go to your local fire house to learn more instead of taking a guess at everything 🤷♂️
Great video
I agree
The intro has internethistorian vibes, i love it
At my station (a local volunteer company in New Jersey) our brush truck, and alot of the stations around us also use this setup, Is just a Ford F-350 with a 200 gallon water tank and small portable gas powered pump in the bed. We bolted it down but that wasn’t done by Ford it was outsourced to a company specializing in emergency service vehicles. We got it off a Ford lot.
we don't have brush trucks like that over here. We simply take our Portable Pump Vans, Engines, Rescue Engines and Tankers offroad
Paying attention to an airport fire truck basically for the first time since I was a small child watching the 1993 classic “there goes a fire truck” and yeah they still look the coolest
You missed pretty much every non usa fire truck design, i would also say about support or leaders vehicles that are as common as regular fire trucks
hello, can you cover Indonesia trucking scene? we're close in proximity to Philippines yet our trucking is different, we mainly use cabover style here which were produced by Japanese brand
i love ur content
"Turns out fire spreads pretty quickly"
Greatest anime plot change if all time
“there are conventional fire trucks which really feature a water pump and other minor features with no ladder” fun fact, these are fire ‘engines’, any other auxiliary fire vehicle is a fire ‘truck’
long video this time! nice.
If you ever do one of these about truck cranes/mobile cranes, hit me up! I'm a crane operator and could get footage and info for the vid!
You should do a video on military trucks. I think you'll be surprised by some of the, ridiculous for civilian use, features that they have.
The invention and evolution of the fire truck is a fascinating journey that spans several centuries. The development of fire-fighting equipment and vehicles has been driven by the need to efficiently and quickly respond to fires in order to minimize damage and save lives. Here is a brief overview of the key milestones in the invention and evolution of the fire truck:
1. **Hand-Pumped Fire Engines (17th century):** The earliest form of organized fire-fighting involved hand-operated pumps and buckets. Firefighters would form a bucket brigade, passing buckets of water from a water source to the fire. Hand-pumped fire engines were later developed, allowing teams of firefighters to operate pumps and direct water onto the flames.
2. **Steam Fire Engines (19th century):** In the early 19th century, steam-powered fire engines were introduced. These engines were more powerful than their hand-pumped counterparts and could deliver water more efficiently. However, they were often large and cumbersome.
3. **Horse-Drawn Fire Engines (19th century):** To address the issue of mobility, horse-drawn fire engines were introduced in the mid-19th century. These vehicles could be quickly and easily transported to the scene of a fire, improving response times. Horses were trained to respond to the ringing of a bell, signaling them to move to the fire station and then to the fire.
4. **Motorized Fire Apparatus (early 20th century):** The invention and widespread adoption of internal combustion engines led to the development of motorized fire trucks. The first motorized fire engine is often credited to Knox Automobile Company in 1905. These vehicles were faster and more maneuverable than horse-drawn counterparts.
5. **Aerial Ladders and Platforms (early to mid-20th century):** As buildings became taller, the need for apparatus that could reach greater heights arose. Aerial ladders and platforms were added to fire trucks, allowing firefighters to access upper floors and rescue people from high-rise buildings.
6. **Specialized Equipment (mid-20th century onward):** Fire trucks evolved to include specialized equipment such as water tanks, hoses, and advanced pump systems. Additionally, modern fire trucks are equipped with a variety of tools and technologies for different types of emergencies, including medical emergencies and hazardous material incidents.
7. **Computerization and Communication (late 20th century onward):** In recent decades, fire trucks have become increasingly sophisticated with the integration of computer systems, GPS navigation, and advanced communication equipment. These technologies enhance coordination and response times during emergencies.
The invention and evolution of the fire truck have been driven by the continuous improvement of technology and the changing nature of urban environments. Today, fire trucks are versatile and equipped to handle a wide range of emergencies, playing a crucial role in firefighting and rescue operations around the world.
Can you do a video on Costa Rica trucking?
I feel like a video on ambulances would fit the channel.
Some brush and tank trucks, at least in rural and small town America, can be retired military trucks. Typically the 5 ton. I see it alot down south
I think theres a huge variation of how fire trucks look depending on the country, the ones we have here in sweden are very different from American ones (mostly a lot smaller)
I'd say that only the North American ones look "weird". Pretty much everywhere else fire trucks are based on existing commercial vehicles.
Yeah, US firetrucks are Just based on antiquated Designs and way bigger than they need to be.
can you do this video but with tow trucks?
Jeez came early.
I work on fire trucks and they are insanely complicated now the engine actually drives the pump with a gearbox attached to a driveshaft and they can move over 2,000 gallons per minute.
can you do st lucia next
Ooo I was the 200th like. Maybe do ambulances next?
Can you please do new Zealand trucking
Would love videos about firetrucks from different parts of the world like you did about trucking! If you need some info for germany just contact me!
as a girlie with a hyperfixation on EMS vehicles - i am so happy to have found this video
Why am I interested in this
10:00 Manchester Airport! (UK)
Do a wambulance one!
10:04 yes, you have missed the Snorkel.
Hey Yukon, do you play snowrunner?
Yes
There are also fire buses used to transport firefighters(Knoxville has one)
buses are used for many different tasks, not only crew transport. Some are designed as command post, some as large capacity ambulance, some as Engine, ...
Most fire trucks don't have locks.. and if you ask the guys at the station if you can sit inside one they will usually say yes. 😁😅
Just to fill your research data, I indeed did not listen to your sponsor's message, thank you tho.
My brother in law drive a crash truck. They're impressively powerful.
Fire trucks are cool
bucket... Used to save people or spray them with water.
The person who invented the tiller truck is Daniel hayes
My apparatus is also aerial when hard 😁
Firetrucks are really fun until you have to clean and reset one after a big fire.
