Chief did a great job with his explanations and descriptions - by talking in "plain language" and not a lot of "industry jargon", everyone can understand and appreciate what you guys do! Love how organized and labeled everything on that truck is. Super helpful when you have a lot of people using things - they know where to get it from and where to put it back.
Fire departments, both volunteer and paid, can take lessons from this department on how to take care, and have, apparatus last and look exceptionally great. The color looks awesome, and I am a purist to red. And the steps are great, the newer Pierce apparatus steps basically are straight down. Milwaukee is a great brand to go with. We use various tools, including the light towers, in our FMO; they have definitely proven their worth.
Well, I don't think the color is bad at all. We have something similar here in Germany for the fire department, it's called RAL 3024 Leuchtrot(glowing red). This is to achieve a higher warning effect, which ultimately serves the safety of firefighters. The advantage comes particularly well in the twilight to the effect.
Same here in czech republic, right now all new engines come in the glowing red or orange and alot of departments are going for similiar colors.
Wht part of Germany I lived in Heidelberg Germany for 3 years and am a former vol firefighter here in the US
I’m a retired firefighter/engineer and it first I wasn’t sure about this color but it looks pretty darn good.
Agree but I feel like orange is more of a search and rescue colour
World's Greatest TH-cam Channel, Hands Down Not Even Close Thank You For Everything You Do Mike!! (Also have you gotten an invites to do any depts in Virginia just wondering?)
This blue and orange should be in denver Since it is bronco colors However these colors are high visibility just like Safety yellow When you're in bad weather conditions they sure do stand out more.
I kinda wish they looked at the old school engine. Those are my favorite trucks. Lol over two decades old and still active. Says a lot about the quality
Training segment is a nice addition 💯
NICE RIG!! CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE THERE NEW ONE!!
Love it and love yours videos and thanks for your Service!!!
What a great truck and chief! I'd love to work for that department.
Nice one Mike, liked and shared 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒
station cribs are amazing you should look into willow street fire company in west lampeter township lancaster county pa they have some nice rigs and a beautiful house
Another amazing Pierce manufacturing apparatus roaming the streets of America best fire trucks in the world!!!
And yet, they are not used outside north America. They even tried to enter European market, but failed miserably.
Love thee orange
You should come to MA theirs some cool departments up here and it would be interesting to see, 1 department could be Hopkinton or Framingham
Absolutely more training films love this great job Mike and fire department.
More to come!
Would it be possible to do tours abroad?
Carson City, NV FD has a light orange with a blue stripe color scheme.
As I said in the last video, in any other scenario I'd have hated the orange. I respect that it came as a mistake and they decided to roll with it.
There should be a station cribs episode on the Wichita ks fire department
I really liked the training segment. I would like to see how they stage the RIT before use when unloading from the truck.
You should look at Cardiff Volunteer Fire Department in Egg harbor New jersey
@Crusader He needs invited.
Come to ephrata Pennsylvania
Send the email invite to watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com
Look at 6 county fireman's parades on you tube where I live it's like a rainbow of colors , and our west end was orange . Out of service now . And yes it's cool my fire company is Kelly green yes am sure they know who it is only Kelly green in pa
I think Tater wants a raise!
Why not? I have seen white fire engines here in the midwest were it usually snows.....which I always thought was kinda goofy.
The clean cab is importantce
Still waiting on studies to show it true effectiveness. Great in concept but is it practical
No extrication equipment?
Love the color choice.
Much better than the black over red some departments are using today!
Better be dead, than look bad, or rule of cool in firefighting
What is a panic bar on a door?
Any public space that has those push bars to get out. That is considered a panic bar
Orange is a great idea! Just like Yellow and Lime-Green, it is brighter and stands out more than other colors. Doesn't hurt that it is unique and looks cool too.
ORANGE FIRE TRUCK/ GOOD IDEA? HEROES NEXT DOOR
Not sure how you came into my feed last week, but I love it. Thank you for sharing this departure and it’s orange apparatus. Great work! 😊
No Ems equipment?
It was in the cab under the seat
When asked about a cdl to drive the apparatus . In pennsylvania when responding to an emergency with all emergency warning lights activated and sirens being utilized while responding . The driver operator does not need a cdl . But since the vehicle is over 26,500 pounds by rights the driver operator should have call class B license w/ air brake and tank if needed . Though most law enforcement turn a blind eye to that rule . The insurance company for the apparatus actually will love that if the driver operators are in possession of a cdl and it does drop the $$$ per month paying the bill .
In volunteer organizations the additional cost of maintaining a CDL for an individual who needs it for nothing else would eliminate even more volunteers. It should also be noted under the new rules instituted a few years ago increases the inconvenience even more as they would literally have attend a truck driving school.
I hate to break it to everyone but the story behind the Orange paint that the chief explained...isnt the actual story. The '49 Chevy was built by High Steel, the same people who made the engine bay. When they were building the truck, High Steel didnt have red paint, they only had orange. So they painted the truck orange and the rest is history.
Not to be confrontational, but is that not what the Chief said? Just in slightly more detail?
@@Ameri-Texan It didn't go the way that current chief says it did. Like I said the original truck was built by High Steel there in Lancaster and they didn't have red paint, so they did the next closest color and rolled with it up to modern day.
Orange is the new red
It’s a shame Pierce discontinued the Quantum.
Really ?
The Arrow XT is also, they won’t comply with new EPA requirements. The way they are designed will not allow for enough air flow for cooling the compliant engines. At least that’s what our rep told us.
@@FirebrewTV ik
Pierce still makes the Quantum chassis one of my neighboring department just got there truck in the that 6 months and they are building there Quantum rescue truck right now should have it by late spring
@@benwatters9255 as I understood it, Quantum and Arrow XT will be available until the new EPA diesel requirements take effect. My department is in process of spec’ing a tower ladder and the EPA regulations were a topic of conversation- the discontinuation of those product lines was mentioned. Probably one of the reasons the Enforcer chassis got some of the recent improvements.
There has been a study that firetruck that are red have 3 times more likely to be in a traffic collision or fatal accident firetruck that are white, yellow, orange ,blue greens yellow have a no accidents or lower accidents people are attractive to red and drivers run in to the red firetrucks
To be fair it's better then one with a pride flag on it (In my opinion)
It's awful that they don't need cdl for fire rigs! Anything over 26k needs a cdl. No wonder why half of them can't drive!
The NFPA has standards for fire apparatus operators that are incorporated into most states firefighter certification curriculums. Not only do you have to be able to drive the truck, you have to be competent operating the pumps aerials etc. The CDL exemption for fire trucks was allowed given that most fire departments are volunteer. I don’t know of too many fire departments that are going to let just anyone behind the wheel of their apparatus.
