Always interesting to see the amount of medical calls the fire engine is dispatched to. Here in Europe fire engine only runs as first responder if no ambulance is available.
it is usually because the engine often gets there before the ambulance, due to more engines and more fire stations in the city, and as more and more engines are ALS they can first respond to just about anything.
@@EpicGames28 In my country - Czech republic. If ambulance cant get to the scene quickly, police gets dispatched since they are trained as first responders.
When my family is watching one of those fire shows and asks me if it’s accurate again I’m going to refer them to this episode of “what firefighters actually do all day” this was really awesome! Guys! 😎😎
@@StevenDavanna I don't. No I don't. I actually have a real job, where I actually kinda work for a living. I don't sit around all day, and get paid with taxpayer money. I actually kinda earn my money
I lived in Eugene back in the early 70s. I remember so many times driving or walking by the Station on w7th. At that time housed a Mack tillered ladder truck. I thought how cool that would be. Starting 1981 I started a 30 year career w a Dept in So Cal. Was an Engineer for 20. Tillered many a ladder truck. Best job in the world. Good luck Eugene Springfield.
Sending a fire truck for chest pains, abdo pain, and a dog bite just seems so crazy to me. At my service they come for unconscious, VSA, or MVC's but not typical medical calls.
Great video!! But make sure that stair chair track ramp is locked before leaning the patient back. It clicked in place the first step so no harm no foul. Love the video and stuff you're doing!
Hey Sebastien ! I’m 23 years old and stuck on trying to find a career. What I do know is I enjoy helping people and like something a little different everyday that keeps you busy. I was wondering what the requirements are to becoming a firefighter/emt ? Any information is greatly appreciated !
Go to your local fire station and ask for some guidance. They will get you pointed in the right direction. This is a great time to get into the fire service. Some departments will bring you on with no past experience and pay for your fire and emt cards. Most require fire 1 and 2 cards along with emt. Get with some of the local guys and they will tell you which academy to apply to. Most firefighters are glad to help someone just beginning their path
is there a difference between firefighter paramedics and just normal firefighters? like they are both working together on most calls but for the medical ones they lead?
The paramedic firefighters have advanced care level certifications while the regular firefighters which are EMT/firefighters have basic level certifications so usually the paramedic firefighter takes the lead on medical calls.
They reroute it to another fire station if they are on a call. Dispatch usually has the information so they don’t call the rig that’s on a call they just reroute the fire call to another station.
@@shoto42 Interesting, here in Slovenia, the Russian shift is used -> work is done for 12 hours, then 24 hours of rest, followed by 12 hours of work at night, and then 48 hours of rest.
The engineer is the one who drives it, and you have to go through soecial training to become an engineer, also if you want to get promoted to lieutenant or captain in the future you first have to become an engineer(firetruck driver)

I wish this custom never lands on this side of the big pond.

Some of these pains could be a underlying factor for something very big
@@victorrangel8283exactly
It does but it all depends on if the FD has an ambulance.
I noticed the kept switching engines in the video 😂

Do FF/Medics for the ESFD do rotations on the ambulance?
yes

Great video! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to do firefighter because of my hearing :/
❤❤❤❤
One of the fire trucks has to be green and yellow. 🦆
I wanna see the insides like the jokes or the person giving the orders inside not the typical
I am a firefighter I help in South Carolina with the fire department and if they need anything they let me know and I go and help them out with it.
Okay
Are fire department gym is so small.
What’s happens if you guys get a fire call while responding to medical calls? And they need that fire truck there
They reroute it to another fire station if they are on a call. Dispatch usually has the information so they don’t call the rig that’s on a call they just reroute the fire call to another station.
Hey
How long are firefigters shifts in USA?
24-48 hours, you could technically work more for overtime buts that’s the usual shifts that I’ve learned in research in hopes to be one here in the US
@@shoto42 Interesting, here in Slovenia, the Russian shift is used -> work is done for 12 hours, then 24 hours of rest, followed by 12 hours of work at night, and then 48 hours of rest.
is there a designated driver for the truck or is it just anyone?

makes sense , thank you :D @@corvusxephan6484
I want to be a fire fighter I'm 33 no degree or expierence how do I get in?
Don’t that town have real paramedics?
That was awesome, 13 calls in 24 hours is a lot. Is that a normal call volume for a shift?
That’s on the low side of average for E2.
@@mikecaven1709 That’s impressive, I’m in a EMT class right now. I hope I can get on somewhere that runs a lot of calls.
🔥
Is this 15 minutes of you napping?
Why would fire trucks want to report for medical emergencies?
Quick response, additional manpower for serious calls. A lot of places ambulances are tapped out or delayed so they maintain pt care.
Bro! Please tell me, I'm from Russia and everything is bad with firefighter's clothes, do you have any familiar resellers who supply to Russia
Those are some god awful helmets you guys gotta get yourselves some actual FF helmets
Love my hometown, I born in Da Nang,Vietnam 🇻🇳
So you don’t waste your time watching this………nothing happen
Sorry you’re sad and hate yourself.
