It's a combination department. Career members staff an engine and tower ladder, but the TL was out of service at the time, so they were using another engine. Third engine to go was staffed by volunteers.
Manpower is the main reason. Harrison is a combination department. Career members staff an engine and tower ladder, but the TL was out of service at the time, so they were using another engine. Third engine to go was staffed by volunteers. Chiefs are also volunteers. Had there been no volunteers available, the career staff would only be 3 firefighters total arriving on two pieces of apparatus. A CO alarm can be a legitimate emergency just like a fire alarm can.
@@LowHudEmergency Not to every incident but definitely a non-medical CO call. What happens when one those trucks kill someone. As a former chief id of never allow this and would be the first to testify for the plaintiffs. It’s common sense. You can’t defend it
As a former chief, how would you justify not having the recommended minimum number of staffing on the scene? What if a firefighter suffered a medical emergency inside the building and there were no others outside to rescue him? Or there was nobody else inside to even report it? Or how would you explain that a person suffered complications from CO poisoning because the fire department took their sweet time to get to the scene? Just some different view points.
@@speedball10169 No it means don’t empty the station on a bs call with no staffing on the trucks. The fact that it’s a combo dept only makes that worse. Send your paid crew on one Engine! There is absolutely no defense for this stupidity and liability!! None, no how, no way!
Well, the way I look at it is there might have been more than one victim, so with a CO alarm even, they wanted to make sure they had enough manpower to handle everything?
@@johnphillips2426 It's not an excuse, it's an explanation. NFPA requires 4 members at a minimum - 2 in and 2 out. So 1-2 guys max is not up to the industry standard and can potentially be dangerous.
Why a full assignment for CO alarm?
Tower didn't go

Is harrison a vol fire dept
Combination.
Where i live they only send a truck or quint to co alarms unless theres ilness then also 1 med unit
Where I am it's 2-3 engines, truck and rescue depending on the section of town.
CO alarm is a one engine response where I live. Not sure how more is justified.

@@LowHudEmergency And what’s the excuse for all running code 3? I don’t care how you wanna slice it this is dangerous and unintelligent
@@johnphillips2426 By your logic, departments should be sending one truck with one person non-emergency to every single incident.

Thanks!
3 engines...3 firefighters, amazing.
Amazingly stupid
@@johnphillips2426 they're a combo department
@@speedball10169 Makes no difference
@@johnphillips2426 it does because it means that you'll have additional staffing from the vollies at the call.

Nice video of HFD
Thanks!
Good job
Thanks!
Love those seagraves, great use of rumbler, and that rescue looks amazing it almost looks like my towns Squad
Seems like overkill unless it was medical with multiple pts

There is very little manpower on each apparatus.
@@LowHudEmergency That’s even dumber. If non medical it takes 1-2 guys max. 2nd is only for safety
@@HighOnLife1985 Stop making excuses for poor sog’s
