As a technical rescue captain for the city of Montreal - I'd like to say thank you for the quality of this walk-around video and the knowledge and eloquence of engineer Pat. That dude has his shit on lockdown. Thanks brother. Always looking outside our box to move forward. FYI - we run 3 technical rescues and have 67 stations in our dept. Denver seems on-point. 💪🏻💪🏻👌🏻❤️
This 81 year old Fire-fighter worked on Squad 8 in early 1970s ,when we had Squad 2 and 8 and they were the only thing close to a heavy rescue. Our 1st rig was a 1955 Ford 1 ton with compartments and 3 men on the tailboard, some hand hydraulic tools etc. Our next was a Gerstenslager all enclosed large rig with more equipment and it was painted yellow while all other rigs where white. The white color on Denver rigs goes back to the late 1890s. Man it sure got cold in the winter on the old squad tailboard flying down the road because the center walkway directed the wind straight down the middle into the face of the junior man, which I was. But I would love to relive it. Those were the good ole days.
Fantastic rescue. We operate rescue/engines due to our size with a heavy rescue trailer. I sure hope one of these days we can place a medium/heavy-rescue in service one of these days. Thanks for the tour!
Pat mentioned the HAMER (R22, at 9's) and collapse rig (R24, at 1's), so here's a little more DFD trivia for you, Mike: Both those rigs--plus Rescue 1's previous ride (R23, a 2008 Pierce Velocity HDR nearly identical to R29 except the old rig had an 84" cab instead on the new one's 70"), the department's first four Velocity pumpers (E80-84; they were running Enforcers prior to that, and 30's has the last of that lot), and two of the last aerials DFD spec-ed on a Lance chassis (T46 & T47)) were all bought for the city by the DNC when Denver hosted the 2008 Democratic National Convention. US Secret Service security protocols state that no vehicle traffic is allowed into the secure space around one of their protectees once they've established a perimeter, so the DNC had to pony up the money to provide DFD enough equipment to cover an all-hazards response to at least a second-alarm level, and that couldn't leave the confines of that perimeter until after the convention concluded and their package left town. R22 and R24 are still front-line rigs; all the others are in reserve.
Heh, fun fact, in germany there is sometimes the same problem when older firestations get new vehicles that became bigger because the standarts changed and then suddenly "Ooops, its too big for the garage..." XD I remember that in one fire station they had to lower the floor around 4 Inch so that the new engine could fit into the station. (Only as a temporal solution till the new station was build.)
Thank you so much for the walk through of a Heavy Rescue that Denver has. The ( CDL) is important to have but the Fire Department does Emergency Response ( code runs) so training must be geared to that. The FD does a better job at responding code, like the Driver said the Narrow streets, very important than just say, backing through cones to Loading dock, that ( CDL) driver school teach, the Log sheet for driver hours, prep for taking ( CDL) test. FD doesn't need to go through Driver Log hours for inspection. Very nice redundant Equipment set up in Rescue Rig. The Gas and Battery power combination of TOOLS. Like the way you can get in back area from front seating area.
@@HeroesNextDoor Can't wait to see who you visit in Alaska! And hopefully you drive up there so you can visit a few Canadian fire halls (as our northern neighbors call them) along the way.
I was stationed at Ft. Carson, Co. Went to Denver for a weekend. Ended up visiting the Downtown station. It was near Denver 1 Place. The skyscraper that was shown on the Dynasty tv show in the 80's. . Lessoned learned. Don't visit a Dnever Fire Station when the Denver Broncos football team is playing. This rescue looks pretty good.
There are rescues that do there’s one in San Jose fire I wanna say a lot of fire departments are also getting The semi tow trucks to complement their rescue services
There is much more to come. Thanks for watching and make sure to click the notifications button. Also become a member and get some behind the scene info.
Trucks like this are the reason why i whould instantly go to the next fire station if there whould be a "Worlds-End" scenario tomorrow. I mean, its a gigantic rolling toolbox with everything you need. What do you want more? XD
Hush, now. South Metro is getting one, too--it's going to 34s to replace both Tower 34 and Rescue 34 as a dual-purpose rig, and responding in tandem with Collapse 45 on technical rescue calls--but it's still well over a year out because Pierce is dealing with the same global supply chain issues as everybody else. As for Greeley, Ladder 5 is much more interesting than Ladder 1's tiller.
@@jacksonhartwig7206 Seriously, give the boys at 5's a call and have them show you around the ladder. The tiller is the pluperfect example of American fire apparatus, but Greeley's Ladder 5 casts old idiom, "10 pounds of shit in a 5-pound bag" in a positive light.
Station 341 Engine, Tiller Ladder, Medic, EMS Duty Officer, Battalion, Cart, Boat. Station 342 (getting a brand new pierce engine and will be in service within the next few weeks) staffs a single engine right now same with Station 343. u already visited station 344. Station 345 Engine, Tiller Ladder, Medic, TSU, Safety. Station 346 Engine and a Medic
That could be a good review. I feel after 29yrs of being in EMS I could give some real insight. You do know the book was written by a paramedic that was experiencing burnout so most of the movie is very accurate for what one might feel like.
@@HeroesNextDoor i was a volunteer FD for 5 years and was in training to do EMS but I ended up getting t boned and hurting my back so I know alittle bit on the Fire side
Depending on your state. Some do require a CDL. mine doesn't but some of our individual counties or departments do. Fire trucks in my jurisdiction we have to have a non CDL for the class truck we drive. We also need an Emergency vehicle operator certification. My state fire apparatus is not classified as commercial vehicles.
pneumatic shears make quick work of automotive sheet metal, a common body shop tool and standard equipment on rescue rigs.....and i didn't make that up
Whoever made the decision to include those pictures when describing certain tools thank you
Thank you we will try and do more and keep it up. This is the kind of info we like to improve our channel. Really it’s your channel and we serve you

Good to see you spending time out of PA Mike. It's nice to see what other departments have on their rigs!
Looking forward to next weeks video.
Thanks for watching. We are trying to see ALL 50 states. It just Pa is easy and close to keep up content

Glad you liked it! Make sure to check out the others too thanks for watching
I am with Portland Fire , you did an awesome breakdown and educational editorial of the rig and equipment. Kiddos
So Cool! Sometimes I wish I could just jump into a new profession.. but I'm getting old.. so cool.❤
Years ago DFD had two squads. Squad 2 at old station two on W Colfax and Osage and Squad 8 at Station 8 at Park Ave and Marion St.
you should go to dexter fire department in Michigan they are building a new fire department bc the one they have now is just to small
BEST TOOLBOX MONEY CAN BUY ! THANK YOU BROTHER MIKE !🇺🇲
Because taxpayers pay for it..... it's a waste of money
What a great video..Denver fire engineer did best presentation as any I've seen in a log time.
Wow, thank you!

Those amazing trucks should have a crane, like some cargo trucks. That's the missing part for a super duper cool rescue all the way truck.

Another fine Pierce apparatus roaming the streets of America that’s why they are the number one fire truck manufacturer in the United States period.
Y'all should go do Hazmat 1, and Collapse and Dive Rescue

Welcome to Denver my home state
It was awesome and beautiful. You are lucky to live there
Awsome to see👍🏻👍🏻
Nice Appliance
That engineer is dialed.
No doubt!!! He was awesome

Maybe next trip.
@@HeroesNextDoor hopefully lol

Not this trip but we hope to on another trip
Awesome
I know right
Do a station cribs and what’s inside Chicago

We did a Carmel station. How many are there?
@@HeroesNextDoor They have 6 in total. I saw you guys did station 44 a little while back

We would love too. We just need an official invite.
Can we get a dfd hazmat tour
We did not get to hazmat BUT we did get to station 1 and all their trucks. So much we needed to break it into three episodes 😉. Thanks for watching
ariel genevieve stanley lee.
When will you guys be back in Indiana
Not sure we have a lot more states to hit too. However we have had some invites from the stations in the southern part we would love to go see.
Or a town or city in maine
Cool

Have them send us an invite
@@HeroesNextDoor ok!
I live in ohio as well, Down here in cincinnat we have 3 tractor trailer hazmat units, 2 rescues and a mobile command center!
@@pretaxracer wow
Hello
Didn’t rescue 1 run fail to clear an intersection and kill everyone in the car they had hit? That would explain the brand new aspect of it.
We did not hear that. If that’s true it sad and we pray for everyone who was involved.
The station that has 420 in it's location is just a few blocks from the international church of cannabis.. gold... 😅
It's over 26,001 pounds. You should have a cdl! I laugh at some of these fire fighters and they can't drive!
The arrangements for not needing one is they don’t need to have the logs associated with the CDL but do use all the other training from the course.
Depending on your state. Some do require a CDL. mine doesn't but some of our individual counties or departments do. Fire trucks in my jurisdiction we have to have a non CDL for the class truck we drive. We also need an Emergency vehicle operator certification. My state fire apparatus is not classified as commercial vehicles.
@@bradleycox175 I worked at two different stations in PA. One company required it but the other did not.
Do SOUTH METRO FIRE RESCUE
We need them to send us an invite
LOL They have their own channel.
dude said he uses shears to cut a roof. lmfao... cant make this shit up
Hydraulic or Pneumatic cutting shears.
pneumatic shears make quick work of automotive sheet metal, a common body shop tool and standard equipment on rescue rigs.....and i didn't make that up
