Most of our engines have a crew of four, including at least one paramedic. At certain outlining fire stations, there's a 2-person Brush Pumper with a paramedic, and these engines carry a total of three individuals.
I am a conservative dude that doesnt like wasting tax dollars on anything that isn't absolutely necessary. But dang, the city doesn't pay for wifi? Or freaking coffee? That is screwed up. You all deserve better. And as a guy that grew up with a mom that was a career cop and spent some time in law enforcement myself i certainly wouldn't take a firefighter's side if there was any reasonable way to make fun of them instead!
No. Most firefighters in the US are EMTs. All firefighters in OKC are EMTs and quite a few are Paramedics. It also helps augment the EMS crew as extra hands if needed.
Engine 9 is a paramedic engine so they can intubate, do cardioversion and push higher level medications before the ambulance. The ambulance shown helps the primary ambulance service (EMSA) out during high call volumes.
Nice seeing my old locker. Very strange not to see RL9, instead seeing a BP and Ambulance. My how things change!
Always look forward to new station videos. Absolutely love seeing the stations and rigs!!!
Yay! The station that I grew up with! Y'all were there every time!
I remember touring station 9 when I was in second grade at Southern Hills. That was in the early 70s.
That was my dad’s first Station. It’s also the one he retired from.
Thanks for the upload today and great series as always! Keep up the amazing videos on TH-cam please and thanks for what you do everyday!🎉🇺🇸👨🚒🚒⭐️

How many firefighters per engine do you guys run?

@@okcfd firefighter/emt, engineer, firefighter/ medic, and captain?
Any idea what happened to Rescue Ladder 9
The answer to your question is in the video 👍.
It was always destined for Station 35, but I retired 9 years ago. Haven't been back to OKC.
Major Rex............I trained him as a Newboy.
Is there anymore coffee with the chief?
Yes, we should have the next episode of "Coffee With the Fire Chief" out within the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned.

Anything weird about a fire engine going to a medical call at a nursing home?
No. Most firefighters in the US are EMTs. All firefighters in OKC are EMTs and quite a few are Paramedics. It also helps augment the EMS crew as extra hands if needed.
