Good afternoon. For everyone commenting "you think those trucks are old?" and similar questions, just don't even bother. Please refer the description of this video; the apparatus displayed are 20 years or older. Thank you.
@Tri-County Fire Videos...Thank You! I hate when ppl ruin videos with stupid comments. Enjoy the video or find another one. Thanks for posting! 👍 I'm a new subscriber.
I've watched every video you post and enjoy your content Scotty. The trucks that you say are old, are older trucks. You don't see a lot of these anymore and we appreciate all you do. Looking forward to many more videos
Thank you so much for the SOUNDS. The Federal Q with Yelp is so Heart warming. I have a 71 SeaGrave with Federal Q on noise. Plus old school Federal interceptor, it has the amazing HYPER ( Yelp) when you put controller between tones. Plus I added another Electric Siren with the 8 Different TONES. I added a small old school coaster SIREN ( the old car Burglary siren) under Dash. That way Kids can push the siren button, and the sound is just in cab. The smiles you get from kids is well worth all the work on Restoration. It's compartment are full of portable Fire Extinguisher, for display at local events. What I do now is are local Farmers market at are city owned Marina. Fun Day for kids to get in a old Fire Engine.
The revolving light bars are so nice. In the dark of night, their light penetrates really far. I wouldn't mind the modern flash ones so much if they lights actually flashed off and on and the flashing was slower. The constant flutter is distracting rather than an attention-getter.
@@atsflives4ever bruh i have seen a truck (not in service, private owner) that was an OLD fire truck with an old school detroit diesel and it was from the 40’s
Robert YES but remember it up to all us. If you see one for SALE by it Restore it. We fire Buffs need to bring them back, that's the only way to keep the old school Rigs out ROLLING for display to public.
It's a 1975-1980 Oshkosh L-series. Oshkosh designed the truck to as short as possible so that it could more easily fit into older fire stations that wouldn't normally be tall enough for a tower/ladder truck to fit into.
Excellent doing there jobs taking care of business let's stop and honor and appreciate the paramedics and firemen and police and sheriff who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated they deserve alot of credit way to go love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock way to go ❤😂😂😅 Joe !!

4:06 It’s the lowest truck I’ve seen in years and I think they might have some couple of low bridges and underpasses in that town to have a truck like that. Cool looking and unique.
There are some counties nearby here that still actively use trucks like this and I love it. Most of the departments outside of Saginaw are volunteer and use older trucks. I love the older look of these trucks.
6:21 I'd love to live in the part of NYS where they pull over like that. Here outside of Buffalo we're still trying to teach them you can't stop in front of us in a traffic circle
I can't believe how things have change since I was a volunteer. I started back in 1984 to 2001. I had to quit because I got custody of my daughter and she needed her father. Keep up the great job on your Videos because it brings back memories.
Awesome video, thanks! Shows you how little I know about fire equipment, I wouldn't have pegged any of those as 20+ years old except for the Mack labeled "E-316" and the Ford L-series tanker. They all look in good shape. I know there's some rural departments around here in NC that are still running the indestructible cabover Fords from the '80s or even '70s.
Outstanding captures. I love old rigs too. Not sure why, but those Lake George rigs (especially that massive Pierce tanker) responding code through that congested area was awesome. On a side note, I gotta visit Lake George as it looks like a nice tourist area. Thanks for posting.
I have been on the fire department for 3 years going on 4. As of August 2022, the volunteer FD that I am on is for a town with about 4,000 people in Alabama. Our oldest truck is a 1999 engine. We are trying to replace it now. However, it is still in great shape. *****FIRE ENGINES/TRUCKS***** ~~ENGINE 1 - 1999 - (1st truck to respond to structure fires in city limits) ~~TRUCK 2 - 2012 - Equipment Truck (1st truck to respond to wrecks) ~~ENGINE 3 - 2011 - (2nd truck to wreck, 1st truck to mutual aid structure fire/wreck) ~~ENGINE 4 - 2018 - TANKER (approx 4000 gallons) ~~TRUCK 5 - 2010 - Brush Truck ~~ TRUCK 6 - 2019 Ford F-150 (used for carrying equipment like boats, trailers) ~~ATV 1 - 2022 ranger (for medical calls in brush like 4-wheeler wrecks, and small 50 gallon tank with water) *****BOATS***** ~~ Marine 1 - basic boat for water rescues ~~ Marine 2 - inflatable rubber boat ~~ Airboat 1 - used for river rescues when the river is extremely low ***AIR TRAILER*** ~~Air and Light Trailer 1 - used for refilling air tanks at major structure fires
Local FD (rural Wisconsin) has 2 vehicles that are more than 30 years old still in use. My brother whose on the department drives the older engine, I dont know all details but I think it's an 78 international. It's their backup engine but still gets fair use and is like the pride of the town. Dept was going to sell it a couple years ago but towns people said they would rather pay/donate more to upgrade it than to buy a new one and that's what they did. Like I said, pride of the town. Other older vehicle is the 89 Ford ambulance. It's not used as an ambulance itself anymore but used for towing the rescue boat for water emergency aswell as being the command post for said water emergencies
8:05 Dear Lord, this nearly gave me a heart attack. My pager sounds just like this, I was just about jumping into my clothes until I realized it was in the video.
Earlier this year, there were two campus police officers that were shot and killed in my town. My dad is an ex-fire chief there so he went to their funeral. An older fire engine pulled by (It was probably made in the late 80s to 90s) and firefighters were making jokes calling it the “War Wagon” and stuff like that. My dad just laughed and said that he drove that truck when it was new.
Old ! Ha .. When I went on the job back in 1973 we rode in a open cab rig with our backs facing the front our class was the first that had to be seated in jump seats no more hanging on the rear..
They were tankers going to a hydrant and back I think Just1American1966 They do that when there’s either no operational hydrant nearby or just when there isn’t a hydrant in general
@@socalfirebuff91377 No not like the back is exposed I know what those trucks are but that one didn’t have any handles or anything on the back right door. It just looked unique.
Back in the day when the rotating beacon was the norm...not the exception. And how low is the door on that Kingsbury Station that they had to have that rear mount aerial built with a low cab so they could get it inside! Good grief! HAHA
@@theburningtoastmonsterofur7028 lol if you think so I was just talking about aesthetics, and american engines are designed traditionally , thats just a fact

Nothing beats an older revolving light set.
Just gorgeous
Those old light sets are nice. My favorite are the bulb lights that they used to have.
The revolving light bars are so nice. In the dark of night, their light penetrates really far.
I wouldn't mind the modern flash ones so much if they lights actually flashed off and on and the flashing was slower. The constant flutter is distracting rather than an attention-getter.
6:21 Gotta be the best I've ever seen anyone pull over for any emergency vehicle!
ikr!!! holy shit that very rarley happens here
Yes
Could almost be in Europe ;)
Why can't they do this in Berks County, Quinn?
@@cjstbbermcstbberson4550 ya it very rarley happens here in Los Angeles
Those revolving light bars are just beautiful.
I have watched this video at least five times, and still love to watch it.
6:35 The fact they did it all in sync is amazing
Can’t beat the sound of an old-school Detroit and a federal Q like seeing the older Mack fire trucks too sad they don’t make them anymore
We will never see or hear Fire apparatus that sounds like this again in a million years
@@atsflives4ever bruh i have seen a truck (not in service, private owner) that was an OLD fire truck with an old school detroit diesel and it was from the 40’s

5:36 softest siren I've ever heard, its calming but strange. Never heard it before.
Federal Signal Product...
It is kinda calming
@@FFDGFDOFD yes..?
4:06 this was probably the most ultimate low profile chassis model ever created before its time.
Steven Pivornik was thinking the same thing!!! Wow
Yea, what truck even is that?
It looked like a crane converted into a ladder truck
It's a 1975-1980 Oshkosh L-series. Oshkosh designed the truck to as short as possible so that it could more easily fit into older fire stations that wouldn't normally be tall enough for a tower/ladder truck to fit into.
Looks like some 1960s concept truck or something

Same
What model siren is it?
4:06 It’s the lowest truck I’ve seen in years and I think they might have some couple of low bridges and underpasses in that town to have a truck like that. Cool looking and unique.
Oshkosh, rare as rocking horse shit.
Looks like one of those construction apparatus. First time i've seen use for fire equipment
Same, I didn’t know those existed
Without the ladder attachment it looks like a drivabke Crane like the Liebherr mk88 without the Crane attachment Just the truck it self
@@MrBonafida rocking horse shit lmaoo
love the old trucks at 8:09 and 1:10, good catches
3:04 this fire truck gotta be da best
Love watching Tanker response videos. Normal people are probably like "Don't they know where they are going". Rest of us "Wow, they dumped quick"
Love these late 80s & 90s rigs, and the old sirens are the icing!
There are some counties nearby here that still actively use trucks like this and I love it. Most of the departments outside of Saginaw are volunteer and use older trucks. I love the older look of these trucks.
Love the old Pierce Lance, Arrow, Sabre chassis trucks. Great looking trucks. Classic design to me.
Nice to see the old Macks
Love them bro
6:21 I'd love to live in the part of NYS where they pull over like that. Here outside of Buffalo we're still trying to teach them you can't stop in front of us in a traffic circle
here they act like chickens with their heads cut off and run red lights and all kinds of shit,im sitting recording the trucks like wtf
Hell, in Buffalo they stop in the traffic circle for cars entering the circle. They have no clue.
What’s a traffic circle?
Seriously though! I live in Tompkins county and people are so stupid.. 😐
7:25 & 7:39...Jake Sounds great!
7:18 definitely my favorite
That siren! That’s a federal signal!

Many thanks for sharing these 'oldies but goodies' Fire Trucks, Happy New Year, best regards from Australia.
Love old rigs with halogens and strobes!! Awesome video!
Thanks!
they are the best
I enjoyed the Lake George NY scenes. I visit there every year in the Fall.
That’s good for you I like your comment have a good Covid-19 lockdown
Great video. There were so many weird trucks I've never seen before. One more sub.
I used to live up in Warren County and was a member of Bay Ridge. I’m back in my hometown of Athens, but I do miss it up there!
Referring to the "Ft. Edward fire tanker 275"... It looks quite dangerous drive around a truck with a "sting" like that behind!
Outstanding captures. I love old rigs too. Not sure why, but those Lake George rigs (especially that massive Pierce tanker) responding code through that congested area was awesome. On a side note, I gotta visit Lake George as it looks like a nice tourist area. Thanks for posting.

0:18 i adore fire trucks like this one with no LED lights, only halogens and strobes
Jut got to love the old rigs..
E-316 was probably my favorite, love the FS-PA300's. The Q on the older rigs is heavenly.
She's serving in (I think) the Dominican Republic nowadays, I miss her
5:00 ill miss it
Loving the airhorns on ETA 244.
Awesome video brother! Keep up the great work!

HAHA, sorry about that! Thanks for the support
The ford fire trucks are just so cool looking.
Tri county fire always has great vedios
3:57 I love that ladder
I love the sirens!
Amazing video i love old fire trucks their just so awesome!
It's definitely the lights that make it look older
Nice compilation! 3:57 Our department had one of those low profile LTI ladder trucks in the 70s/80s. It was the worst ladder truck we ever had.
Ahhhh the good old mack
we got rid of our mack 2 or 3 years ago,i cried legit
You should spot here in Syracuse NY, there are ALWAYS Fire Trucks responding rarely Police.
Earlier this year, there were two campus police officers that were shot and killed in my town. My dad is an ex-fire chief there so he went to their funeral. An older fire engine pulled by (It was probably made in the late 80s to 90s) and firefighters were making jokes calling it the “War Wagon” and stuff like that. My dad just laughed and said that he drove that truck when it was new.
The one from Kingsbury serving since 1949 the truck looks that old I like it though oldie but goodie it's welcome in any fire it's needed
Sick compilation man! Congrats on 1500 as well. :)
Thank you
Beautiful rigs
Congrats on 1500 subs!
Thanks Will!
Made me recall those awful strobe lighting systems between mechanicals & LEDs.
Silver Bay sub station in Hague, if I remember correctly, has a very nice 1940's brush truck.
I LOVE this video.
I own a 1940's resuscitator that was operated by Glens Falls, NY
I will be in the Fire Truck as a Firefighter
7:43 the horn sounds different on that truck
Same truck, but the horn was malfunctioning.
Are any of these still in service, if so I have plans
Old ! Ha .. When I went on the job back in 1973 we rode in a open cab rig with our backs facing the front our class was the first that had to be seated in jump seats no more hanging on the rear..
0:55 to 1:15 "Nope. Not down that way. Let's try the other way!"
They were tankers going to a hydrant and back I think Just1American1966
They do that when there’s either no operational hydrant nearby or just when there isn’t a hydrant in general
Q siren should be matched with traditional rotating visual warnings in my opinion
Did the first truck not have any back doors on it? I’ve never seen that before.
yeah its called an open air cab
@@socalfirebuff91377 No not like the back is exposed I know what those trucks are but that one didn’t have any handles or anything on the back right door. It just looked unique.
Alot of these rings are very grand & beautiful, but that thing (3:50), fuckin scares me.
i like the rotator lightbar and on most trucks how they put the small rotator beacons on the rear
Back in the day when the rotating beacon was the norm...not the exception. And how low is the door on that Kingsbury Station that they had to have that rear mount aerial built with a low cab so they could get it inside! Good grief! HAHA
You should go a little further south to Albany county that would be awesome
Cool
beautiful
What siren is glens falls using? The wail on some of the trucks sounds close to what the brits
dad used to be an assistant chief with QCVFD
What year is this based on? Because you definitely don't see fire trucks like these ones anymore, great video to.
Took these videos between 2017 and 2019. The trucks are 1999 and older

Negative
Tanker 410 seems a little lost at the end lol
1:55 what's up with those clear LEDs
They are not LEDs. But they are white either cause they were not maintained properly or intentionally like that for visibility.
Some of these trucks need powercall
HEAR HEAR !!!!
me guessing that old fire trucks are rare to see?
Sweet
im confused at 1:30mins because their is a thing behind the truck that's pointing out
That is for drafting water from lakes and other assets
I'm guessing most if not all are in new york state.
Luv it, screw the naysayers!!
What siren is that at 0:47 and 2:40 again? I can’t remember.
