Mike , your channel has evolved a bit over the last few months and that’s great . But I gotta say your bread and butter has always been the Station Cribs and Rigs …. Love them. Hope you keep those type of videos going 👍
I appreciate that. We have not forgotten that fact and will continue to bring more. We just wanted to also show some other sides too. Plus I personally have picked up a lot of the work. This whole trip to Michigan and Ohio was done solo. I have a lot to learn. Thanks for all the support !!
Both Engines and the Tanker is nice to see all three are dual purpose. They can bring a crew for manpower, once on scene they can act as Engine, Tanker, or as in Engine 52 can act as Rescue. Lot of flexibility in those all three trucks.
My local volunteer department has a beast like that. dual rear axles, ginormous tank, ladder and porta tank racks, rescue gear- AND it carries a ladder truck compliment of ground ladders. It's referred to as "the quad" We're very rural, not much of a town- that's the Village Department, we cover the town around it. They also have a Pierce 75' quint, a Pierce Saber engine at station 2 (currently being replaced), and the newest unit: A Darley mini pumper/brush rig. Kind of amazing, what Darley was able to do with this- 4 door 5 person cab, 1500gpm pump with CAFS and pump n roll. Front bumper remote turret and spray bars. 500 gal, tank the works. In addition to lots and lots of farms and woods, there is also a large 400 unit higher end mobile home park. (and a smaller not-so-nice one, too) Full of large mature trees, etc. it is hydranted. This unit just makes it FAR easier to get around in these parks- compared to the quad. Thus it is first due on structure fires, EMS calls, CO, etc in the parks.
@@ml9867 i belive so. Im not a member, my buddy is, so i dont know all the particulars. It IS a heavy duty commercial Ford chassis, though. Decent amount of compartmentation, but most of the "stuff" is on the quad and quint. This is for attack, brush/field fires, and EMS. Would make a nice source pumper, too, if needed.
Miss seeing you Mike and watching these awesome videos! Thank you for another great station cribs. This one was definitely unique. Their rigs were very well taken care of and the thought process with all the water was impressive in my opinion. They really care and cater for their community. Well done brother. Looking forward to the next one. Stay safe.
Volunteer fire fighter here in australia i love seeing these staions and the rigs over in the usa! Also interesting watching the different techniques we have at working fires! Keep upbthe good work
I love it that the Rigs are Spartans. 😊 It makes me proud of my baby boy 😊 That I own. Spartan Gladiator pumper 1989 Darley pump. Inclosed cab with raised back roof for 4 jump seats. My wife loves it also, 😊 it has the 4 speed Allison automatic so she can DRIVE are baby in parades 😊
Thank you so much 😊❤😊 for ALWAYS asking about how a local viewer of your outstanding FD series always brings up how to join a volunteer FD, 😊 and shows the web sites or posts information on how a local especially young people can JOIN 😊 It's one of the great things you bring to your videos 😊❤😊 I wish more young people ( including females) would volunteer their time to a local volunteer FD. Give back to their hometown. It's about helping others on the worst day of the poor person life. You, my Hero's Next Door friend 😊❤😊 with your video service, do a wonderful job Is there any way you could do a video on 😊 going back to some of these Departments and maybe just with a phone call, find out if people in the community JOINED up with the Departments you filmed at. I would love to see your success at building more membership in these neat Departments you visited 😊 just asking
we are a volunteer department with some cool trucks. We have a good amount of members with a full time paid ambulance department. Also we just got our new ladder from Sutphen.
Keep rocking big water boys! My Department in Minnesota " not to fair from the dame that about went in the flooding this year South Bend Township Fire" love's big water as well. We have a 3500gal tanker 3000gal pumper tanker, 1000gal pumper and 300gal grass rig. with the departments getting smaller and day time turn out not being what it once was. The more you can bring to the fight at first call the less you need to worried about if your going to run out by the time your other trucks arrive.
I like the department and I love the apparatus, bit it drives me crazy when they call a quint a "truck". I understand it has an overhead ladder, but if it pumps and s water, it's a quint.

Impressive equipment! But that is no "small" house... my dept entire house is probaly smaller then the space those 2 engine trucks take up! Always enjoy watching your videos to see other depts set ups.
Send an email to watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com. Make sure there is an address contact numbers and a brief description of your station and rigs you would like to highlight
It’s not the firehouse that makes the fire department, it’s the firefighters. Great pride in their department.
100% AGREE

@@pyroman6000 What platform is your mini pumper? F-550?

Carrying a full complement of equipment qualifies it as a fire engine for a better ISO rating.

Mike, never knew you were born in and raised in Michigan. You should really get invited back to Michigan more!
Yeah I’ll be back. Always leave time to visit family too 😉
You should come to North Carolina and do a video at coopers fire and rescue in Nash County
That's the largest Rescue Engine I have ever seen!!!!!
I like the department and I love the apparatus, bit it drives me crazy when they call a quint a "truck". I understand it has an overhead ladder, but if it pumps and s water, it's a quint.
You should come to Pennsylvania to check out ephrata fire department and reamstown fire department
Would you be coming to Florida particular the east coast just inquiring we have a new station getting built and thought it be cool
I’m just wondering, how do you far from us get on heroes next-door to show their departments

I would say that will be enough water to fill the swimming pool
Here's the question for the host.I know you're a firefighter.Which department are you on
You didn't account for the 250 gallons on the brush truck so wouldn't it be 8050 gallons lol
You are correct. Thanks for helping with the math.
Ima watch this but plz do more fd station cribs and station. Rigs
There is much more to come !
@@HeroesNextDoor awesome can’t wait my future career is a firefighter im obsessed with firefighters lol im a big supporter
@@Jay38938Are you gonna volunteer with a local department? Some let you join at 14 or 16 years old.
Damn only 120, I see why they have a strict policy on making meetings and trainings
