  • Had a blast working on this video for my film class at GCU. The guys at Fire Station 9 were super cool, they let us spend a full 24 hour shift with them to film this project for the patients and families at Phoenix Children's Hospital. On June 7, 2012 we're all going down to the hospital to show the film and the guys from the fire station are going to hang out with the kids, show off the trucks, and learn how to color. #somuchfun!

    To clear things up, you do not have oxygen in your scba tank. It's compressed air. Oxygen is highly flammable and would not be a good idea to run in a burning building with a bomb strapped to your back. Other than that, great video.

  • @cgas4171
    @cgas4171 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Being a 15 year veteran of the fire service, this is one of the best videos i've seen on life in the fire service. Keep up the great work, brothers in Phoenix

  • @AshKicker200
    @AshKicker200 8 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    pretty straight forward video. Although, it should be noted that the SCBA cylinders do NOT contain just oxygen. it is compressed ambient air. o2 level is the same as normal air (19-20%).

      @bmxchamp4 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      ViscaElBarca Hey man sorry, I just got back into town yesterday. Was in monterey county working the sobranes fire on a strike team, incredible experience.. Anyway, for the CPAT if you do some searching around online you can find some good guides on preparing for the CPAT. I'd recommend doing that and finding one that's right for you.

    I'm from Liverpool in the UK but I'd just like to say thank you for the brilliant work you all do under extreme conditions,
    The UK fire department is getting dragged through the mud currently by this government who know nothing in the field of fire fighting and I feel so sad that the people at the top are treating them like dirt even though this government have slashed our fire service to the bone.
    I'm certainly no fireman I haven't got the balls big enough to do it but respect to you all.

  • @gregoryhoward7594

    Nice video and very informative, especially allowing us to see the training involved.
    I'll never forget seeing a small trailer on fire and I stopped to see the fire department work the fire.
    From a distance that smoke was too much and you could feel the heat as well.
    You could say it gave me an experience as to what that equipment we see fire fighters in is really for.
    I'm sure the kids got a kick out of this.

    ben jarvey It stands for Ladder Truck 9

    • @johnnykATL
      @johnnykATL 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It is in fact for Ladder Tender 9. LTs are used as a supplemental vehicle to the main ladder truck. So if they receive a call that will not be needing the large ladder truck's capabilities than they will take the LT. Usually the choice is either automatically dispatched from the Alarm Room or is up to the Captain's discretion. The main purpose of the LT is cost savings by reducing wear and tear on the ladder. An LT is a fraction of the cost of the ladder. The LT carries identical equipment as the ladder with the obvious exception of the 115' aerial. But I can say that they most always prefer to roll the big truck haha! Hope that helps.

    • @AlxanderMatt
      @AlxanderMatt 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      *****
      type and use of some equipment (for example how hoses are stocked in the firetruck and how are them deployed). number of crewmembers: mainly in ours ladder trucks we have only 2 firefighters. personal protection devices are quite different. fire attacking techniques, you are more aggressive but I think that it depends on the different scenarios we have
      and sorry for my bad english
