I am not a FF but I love the subject matter! This channel and THIS HOST are absolutely amazing. I could watch these all night and according to my wife, I HAVE BEEN! ❤❤❤
Very interesting. A nice quick video to watch. It would be interesting to add in some quick lessons of why the firefighters need to take those various steps of stabilization the other measures. For my grandkids who may be the next generation of firefighters, this sort of video is fabulous. Make sure you are making videos for those 10 and 12 year olds!
Check out the day in the life series and you can see two different videos that show vehicle rescues and talks about things like that. Our content is always youth friendly ! Thanks for watching and subscribe if you have not yet. It all helps!
You pointed out how they keep a case of talk about radios from Motorola, I would really advise that you just setup a few simplex operation channels on those apx radios
I was wondering the same think ….seams like a over kill. A stight line back to the anchor and use prusuks for a “cheat knot” to make and length adjustment you may need ….then back it up w a figure 8 on a bend and carbine it to the anchor. Way less hardware ….KISS !
What a monster. I love the American rescue trucks. 💪🏼 Are you planning to travel around the world and look at the different fire brigades in the countries? I'm particularly interested in what you say about the German system. It's very different here. Greetings from the Black Forest in southern Germany -Simon
A basic fire truck or engine with no equipment on it can cost as little as $250,000, but the price can go up to $6 million (rarely) depending on the type of vehicle. Then there's the equipment too which can cost more than the truck itself.
With concerns over russia getting the way they are - that the possibility of a nuclear exchange has grown higher - all this hi tech stuff concerns me. In the 90s and before a lot of our gear didn't use computer chips especially to the degree they do now. EMP is a thing and it would not only kill the rig but it would kill all the gear on it you would need. Yes they have manual backups - but they can only get so much done with them.

that truck is friggin' INSANE.
At 28:40, this similar heating technique has been used in Alaska for years. This is a beautiful, nicely outfitted rig!!🇺🇸
well done, no waisted space!!!
READY FOR WHATEVER ! DIGG ITT ! THANKS BROTHER MIKE ! "TOP SHELF " ! 🇺🇲
I love seeing how well you and the chief get on!!!!
Beautiful Rig … very well organized and equipped
Amazing truck set up for pretty much everything!!!!
Just beginning this video and this apparatus is a beast! My previous department’s rescues were 38’ I love the paint scheme.
Also awesome job to that Chief! He really did a great presentation of the rig.
HAD TO WATCH ,AGAIN !
LA County rigs are a red-orange or kinda burnt orange color, those are cool.
amazing rig, and stuff like that
Excellent video!!
Always enjoy seeing what other stations have in their fleet!
Beast mode beautiful looking piece well specd
This Is Definitely A Nice Piece Of Apparatus #Piecre #PiecreManufacturing🙂😃😄😁👍

Very interesting how there is no exit out of the back of the walk in.
My thought too... having to carry any of that equipment through the cab to get in and out must be a pain in the cab
Fun fact, my town currently operates Susquehanna TWP's former heavy rescue, the one this unit replaced.
Liked and shared 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒

Interesting seeing An Aztec 4:1 used for stabilizing a strut. Any reason why they’re applying mechanical advantage to support a tripod?

My thoughts as well.
Insane truck icp must have been there
You need to come to the IFA (Indiana fire association) it volunteers but we got two departments you might like here
Send us the official invite and we can try to get there
Unbelievable truck from France
Beautiful, beautiful rescue.
Did you forget a 0 in the description? Keep up the good work. I ok forward to your content
Thanks. Corrected 😜

Beautiful rescue truck 🚒 how much one those cost?
A basic fire truck or engine with no equipment on it can cost as little as $250,000, but the price can go up to $6 million (rarely) depending on the type of vehicle. Then there's the equipment too which can cost more than the truck itself.
With the equipment I’d say this is in the 4-5 million dollar range
we use those airbags for lifting a fallen person too
with the monopod they probably should have practiced doing it once before you turn the camera on because they didn't know what to do.
Maybe for future purposes, how would I contact you for a station tour?
Email us at watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you
now theres a million dollar rig
I live in Susquehanna Township
I hope you got plenty of fire extinguisher fire balls and table salt
Jesus Loves You All
My OCD approves
They love the mr potato head
😉😜
I don't know anything about thi$ dept. or where it i$ but I $ure hope thi$ chief appreciate$ the financial $upport he ha$. Holy cow $$$$$$$$
I suspect a significant portion of the cost was covered by a generous DNS/UASI grant.

@@leoschneider3570 Yup. It's still farther then you get if power tools stop working.
Great job and love the remote headsets
That truck 28 tons
First
Hi
what is with the mr potato head on the truck
He puts one in every video. Just for viewers to try and find.
@@johnlebzelter4208 is there a prize for how meany times you see it
@@matthewmeuleman9872 don’t think so.
I don’t like the red cab
Ain’t that a shame? I mean, no one asked for your opinion…but yet your telling us 🤔
