Eric, great video. I am a city councilor in Gloucester, MA and seeing how other FD operate is interesting and extremely educational. People/constituents depend on FD at sometimes the lowest point in their lives. Very important to have men and women ready and able to answer the call. Thank you Eric and thank you to all who serve in the Fire Services. Best of Luck!!🇺🇸
you just never say that I was up at the ambulance station the other day hanging out with the crew as a volly firefighter and the medic said that ol im getting off in a hr and going on leave for the next three 3 and boom med call I even said dont say it haha
Another stunning video! I love your work! The part where he explained why most larger departments send more trucks on highway accidents was very clear! Great video and great work!🎉
I loved visting NM I got to go to all of albuquerques station everyone was so nice and welcoming awesome video brother but you gotta check out station 5
Thanks for the upload and content! Love your channel and your firehouse tours are awesome and very much appreciated! Keep up the great work brother!⭐️🇺🇸🎉🧑🚒❤️😊
Hi from Knight Rider I'm one of your first subscribers and I'm so happy to see u with so many episodes and so many subscribers from Knight Rider Monday August 28 5:32pm from riverside california palm springs
Thanks for another great video Eric!! I was wondering when you would post again, and here we are! Keep up the great work!! Appreciate it and all your hard work that goes into these videos. Many people have no idea how much time, energy, work, etc. goes into producing these videos. Take care man and stay safe!
Nice video ... Our company operates a former Albuquerque 2001 Pierce Dash (Videos on my YT Channel) formerly Engine 5 ... Now I know how she got all those miles :)
The ambulance company having a contract answers something I've been wondering. My local FD now has an ambulance from a company stationed at the department.
Is part of the deal to be a great cook?? The munu served looked restaurant worthy. I didnt know much about EMS but with two ambulance rides for anaphylaxis I thought I would watch videos and learn about the service. Know you are appreciated and respected! Be safe out there!!
@@WorkingFirePIO I'm in the UK and can say that these forms of Videos don't exist in the UK. There are the odd few of Ride Along types but that's all. Over here, the Fire and Ambulance Services are totally separate. Fire Service provision is operated by Regional Fire services across England, usually in County or Regional divisions. Some major cities, such as London will have their own dedicated Fire Service operation. Plus in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, each of those has its own countrywide Fire Service. Fire Services across the UK are funded by Central and Regional governments and individual residential and business taxes raised at local level too. Emergency Ambulance cover is broken down to different Service provision as follows. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, each country has its own Ambulance Service. However, in England, Emergency Ambulance cover is managed via 11 separate Regional Authorities, each wholly responsible for Emergency callouts in their control. Most will involve territories covering 100's of square miles in size, especially with some having major towns and cities located within them. The whole of London is covered by one of those 11 authorities, operating with almost 600 Emergency ambulances 24/7. Hospitals can also have separately individual fleets of vehicles, each carrying out the transfer of non emergency patients to and from hospitals, to and from patients homes, clinics and specialist centres. These authorities are funded by relevant Government funding, through the National Health Service. Hope this helps you see how it's covered over in the UK.
If you ever decide to come to the east coast I suggest MCFRS stations 25, 29, 31, 8, & 32. First 3 stations are TRT stations, & the last 2 are usually the busiest in the county. All stations listed are actually pretty busy tbh :)
Really!? Yours is the first FD that I've heard of that skipped the number 13. By comparison, there are 5 different Station 13's in the Denver metro area.
@@RINEYMOTORSPORTS do some more research. Not all calls get both agencies responding. Response models are data driven and either agency can transport. Built in redundancy makes sense in emergency response.
Nice Ride Along. I Am In The New Jersey area and I was wondering if you would ride along with the fair lawn fire department (FLFD) I wanna see how a ride along would look like with them
Epic video! I happen to hear they run 48 hour shifts and are off for 96 days? That’s a very nice shift schedule. Here in FL we do 24 hours on and 48 off. Then you get 5 days for a break if it’s available. I wonder what the other state’s shifts are like.
You have to love when there is a big orange truck... I am assuming they had no idea what was going on, who, or why. What was that truck anyway and why was it down there? Also what is a PSA I saw the white pickup truck say that in black during the highway crash.
The big orange truck was public works. I wasn't able to ask but I'm assuming the operator was removing garbage from the arroyo. Albuquerque Police have a "Public Service Aide" or PSA personnel. Their job description says, "Provide police service that otherwise would be lost or delayed because of workload saturation on sworn officers, relieve sworn officer of non-related or low priority police service so that they may pursue anti-crime activities more effectively. Collect and preserve physical evidence in the field; ensure the preservation of all items taken into evidence and testify in court regarding the chain of custody and integrity of evidence."
Interesting, thanks... I am, always looking for things my small city could incorporate into there emergency services and or things I could send to devs of a game I play with relations to emergency and hopefully soon public services. @@WorkingFirePIO Also saw HND visited you, can not wait to see those videos (on there end) I have wanted to see the two of you together. I probably need to get back to watching your SMFR videos.
It's freightening how easy and on a every day basis you talk about shootings. As an european it's so unreal. Is no one gonna stop this horror over there?!
There's usually an online staffing system and list of firefighters who signed up to work overtime that day, if they're needed. If no one signed up to potentially work, usually there's a mandatory overtime list that starts with personnel who haven't volunteered for overtime in a while. Some departments hard staff every seat and others may drop from 4 personnel to 3 personnel and not mandatory someone in.
I had the same thought when I first heard the tones! My understanding is they took the original Zetron tones that had been used for decades and incorporated them into MachAlert. They still have the Model 26's in the firehouse, but I watched them and they don't activate when a call is dispatched.
@@WorkingFirePIO I never understood why the old school guys would reset the boxes until I got to the alarm room and watched those lights blink all nights. I never would have understood otherwise.
I always wonder what it’s like when you all are working out and then a call happens. What if you guys workout and then are too weak during a hard call is that a thing or do you guys try not to go too hard?
it's a Privatized Ambulance Company that's contracted based, it helps relieve the load from City Fire on Ambo runs, think of it like AMR running medical calls even though City or County Fire has their Ambulances. Having a Privatized Ambulance Service helps with relieving call volumes of service, quicker medical service responses and in most case a less expensive alternative
@@RINEYMOTORSPORTSmost times our fire dept is gonna get there alot quicker than the private ambo, so why wait a longer time period and more time for the patient to get worse when we can get on scene within minutes to render aid
Thank you so much for visiting our station and getting our reputation out there! Shout-out to all the firemen around! Great video man, come back anytime 😎🔥

Thank you Eric and thank you to all who serve in the Fire Services. Best of Luck!!🇺🇸
Thank you for watching and sharing your perspective as an elected official!
My pleasure. Emergency services is so so important. Not many constituents/tax payers/citizens think about emergency services until they are in need.
"And some shifts were quiet"
pretty brave thing to say within Murphy range
“Tell me more about quiet shifts,” said the camera man.
@@WorkingFirePIO "I'd like to hear more about how you slept through the night."

just some of the people who make up Americas backbone. Great to see.
Tucson...we have wash rescues every storm that hits in the summer. Great job AFD
Albuquerque resident here. Cool video! Now I know why there's two rescues on every call. Lol
these guys look like a locked in, efficient crew! good stuff eric!

Much appreciated!
Outstanding Station #13 "C" Battalion Crew !! Taking Care of Business ! 👏🏼👍🏼🚒

Thanks for showing my hometown some love! Not surprised most calls were MVAs 😅
That Joker shirt was pretty awesome. I would love to trade one of these.

Great video.
You should try try Albuquerque fire station one with Mike a shift
Interesting concept that they staff rigs for transport and at times, do transport, but the city contracts with a separate private transport system.
Doesn't make a bit of sense that you staff an ambulance to do somebody else's job that's already contracted
@@RINEYMOTORSPORTS do some more research. Not all calls get both agencies responding. Response models are data driven and either agency can transport. Built in redundancy makes sense in emergency response.
I agree. In my fire dept all our Rescues (ambulances) transport. All BLS and ALS calls. No private ambulance contracted.
You gotta get to the north east department's, fdny, North NJ, Boston, ect....
Interesting to see a “traditional” bunk room!

@@WorkingFirePIO Excellent answer! I'm kinda' a Christmas guy myself.
36 calls a day is unreal
When the FF is saying nothing too special about the station, I think he has South Metro station envy.
What do these "high call" departments do when one of their career staff gets injured or gets sick? I was just curious if someone fills that void.
Overtime or Support division fills spot
OT
There's usually an online staffing system and list of firefighters who signed up to work overtime that day, if they're needed.
