It is refreshing that we have people who have a passion for Public Service without getting paid! These are Stories that a lot of the General Public never hear. Pennsylvania is very fortunate to have such a professional Organization that will help assist whenever they are called. Amazing that they fund most of this out of their own pocket. The Dogs 🐕 are very Impressive as well. Thanks for this video Mike. I always learn something new when I view your videos‼️
Just out of genuine curiosity, would you feel differently about a team doing this not as a volunteer service (ie. privately paid search and rescue, evacuation, etc. services). I really am just curious about the rise of these paid (usually a retainer fee) specialty emergency services and how people feel about them.
If you're ever down towards Greenville South Carolina, we have a really cool Airport fire department at a old military airbase called Donaldson Center.

This is pretty cool stuff! I saw these guys have the handheld GPS units to see their tracks, but with their Digital MotoTRBO radios, they could set up a system where their radios would transmit GPS back to a laptop in their CP over a data channel on the handheld radio.
Now that we are more heavily using the Digital radios, APRS is a possibility, but we are also heavily using SARTopo now, and send tracks directly back to command real time.
I appreciate the behind the scenes. Have you thought of using the tier instead of the price in the titles? You can always mention it as part of the interview. Big money figures may attract views, but it gives the initial impression that services swim in cash, when in reality they depend on volunteers donating time and money. Thanks to you an all the first responders for their dedication.
We will take this under consideration and see how it does. We are still trying to build the viewership and we do understand what you mean. The impression that you got is NOT the intension for sure, but learning how much things do cost can be shocking from both a high/low perspective.
One thing I didn't see and might have missed was a mast for the repeater antenna. Antenna height will always be better than increased power output, though it also helps to have more TX power when needed.
The Communications trailer has a 30 foot pneumatic mast on board. When the repeater is deployed the antenna gets attached to the mast and is raised up.
GREAT SERIES SIR ! MUCH APPRECIATED ! "TOPSHELF" ! KEEP THEM COMING ! IF POSSIBLE ,I WOULD LIKE TO GET INFO ON A SATELLITE APPERATIS ! IF YOU COME ACROSS ONE . YOUR SERIES TO VERY INFORMATIVE! DO WHAT YOU DO MY FRIEND ! STAY SAFE SIR !
In PA you can call 911 as soon as someone is missing. The police report might be 24 hours to make official but EMS and rescue can be dispatched right away.
@@HeroesNextDoor here typically search and rescues are governed by the police and typically don't start operational things after the 1st 24 hours sometimes they might start early though very seldom in this case.. our version here is 000 and it typically fire ambo and police for S&R to take place the call from the police to the SES or other rescue orgs to start searches
@@HeroesNextDoor I know but I'm saying Leo's run the show so it takes alot of time to even get a call alert. Than they got decide ta use K9 SAR or not. Maybe its jist in my territory.
Issue generally come from not knowing who we are or that the resources exist. We cover 7 counties primary, with mutual aid to 13. We are working diligently to be written into every station and police stations SOGs (standard operating guidelines).

Thank you for your kind words. I will relay them to the team at our next training.
This is awesome! Hey, have you ever thought of doing a tour of an Airport Fire station or an ARFF truck tour? I think that would be super cool!
We are working on it. A friend of ours works at a local airport and we are trying to get them scheduled

@@HeroesNextDoor Sounds great! Looking forward to it!
Before they’re able to make one I believe south metro fire rescues channel has a video or two of the sort
Great job Mike. This is a very overlooked area of Emergency Services. Thanks for showing this!
No problem we are trying to hit all aspects of EMS fire and police. Thanks again for watching
Thanks for the videos! Really enjoy seeing all of the behind the scenes stuff! Keep up the good work!
FINALY!🎉🎉 I have been looking for a vid like this for a long time lol
You are welcome and thanks for watching!!!
Wow this was so awesome I am really Interested in this program just fantastic coverage thanks so much!

You should contact them and help them out. I’m sure they would love to hear from you about this

What a cool tour!

Hey Mike, When are you coming out to Cleveland Ohio and Cuyahoga County?
We have not gotten an invite from any stations there yet. Just have them email us at watchheroesnextdoor@gmail so we can get them on the schedule
Hi this is going to be cool
Cool team!

It’s retractable already attached

Hagerstown Maryland/Washington county has some really good fire department and local airport as well would be great to see you come visit this county.
Have them send an invite so we can book them!
Great video.
Thanks
They have more then we do and we go all across the state rumor has it will even go out of state on very urgent calls.
I love fire dpt things
Do they have the ability to run lights and sirens?
Yes
Interesting video. Lanco Chief 93 here. In the next year or so we will be dual wilderness fire and S&R...or we won't exist.
Let’s set it up soon
Like so much...
Me too
Thanks! I'll share the love with the team.
well I would check the legals within your state of operations, before missing persons report can be filed and search and rescue can called in..
In PA you can call 911 as soon as someone is missing. The police report might be 24 hours to make official but EMS and rescue can be dispatched right away.

HND got it right...no need to wait. We are volunteer...we will not send a bill.
Seven counties is a lot of ground to cover
With the mutual aid...it ends up being 13. It's quite the footprint we cover.
hi
Howdy! Say hi to PaWSAR on Facebook!
Yea no doubt 10-12 hrs of idiocy. Leave to Leo's running the show
These guys are pure professionals.
@@HeroesNextDoor I know but I'm saying Leo's run the show so it takes alot of time to even get a call alert. Than they got decide ta use K9 SAR or not. Maybe its jist in my territory.
