My Friend was the Chief for a big city fire department. He got the city to pay for Saunas in every station as a medical treatment. Turns out the local University medical school did a study and found out that Fire fighters can actually sweat out a lot of the toxins the are exposed to at a fire.

Station 18 guys are top notch. Work with the guys on MICU18 and IMU18 pretty regularly and it's always a good experience. Thanks for checking them out!

Great firehouse. Great trucks. Love the setup and stuff like that.

Loyalsock Township! I’ve personally been inside that station. The 1941 Mack is a caisson unit, and the last firefighter to take his last ride aboard that rig was Firefighter Griggs. The Spartan pumper replaces a Sutphen pumper, and the only rig missing is Tower 18. Tower 18 was retired due to mechanical issues.

I was a Jr FF here from 2000 to 2002.

A 32 year old rig is unbelievable, a testament to build quality and proper maintenance. I appreciate it probably doesn't respond to as many calls as a city fire department but it's still good going. Here in the UK first turn rescue pumps are usually on the run for up to 15 years and then a few years in the reserve fleet before disposal. Typically they will be rotated between busy and quiet fire stations to average out wear that's why any station plate and the identifier plate will not be fixed.

Excellent station. Great concept for the individual bunk rooms; small enough so that the personnel must come out and socialize. A lot of stations you don’t see some people the entire shift unless they’re on a call. I’m still old school and like the old stations with the open bunk rooms. I’m looking forward to the Station Rigs on the Incident Management Unit. The Mack is beautiful.

The Mack is 18’s oldest rig and the only bulldog in the fleet. She’s a 1941.

My dad and I were walking past Station 18 one day and all was silent until we walked back down from up around St. Ann Catholic Church. All three Sutphens were in service then, but the engine and tanker took the run and boy was THAT smoky!

I was a Jr FF for this station for two years from 2000 to 2002. Long before this renovation. And prior to that I took my EMT-B in 1999 in that social hall.

happy Easter and thank you for the tour.

I actually started my fire service here. I was a junior when I joined here.

my dad and his brother were fire police they passed away so I am now become fire police and firefighter spilt duty when there short manpower

LOYALSOCK got rid of its tower??? Dang. As a fireman with the Alpha FC, State College, I went to work at a 5+ alarm job in Lock Have with their tower crew. We took an engine to the old steel wire rope mill/you store it fire back in the mid 90s. And the truck company they paired with us was LS Towe 18. Anyone not familiar with central PA, AFC and LSFC are 64 miles apart. They responded 28 miles to the call, and we responded 37 miles. IN A BLIARD. . . or just after it.

I would be interested in a station Riggs from that old tanker I think trucks like that are pretty cool.

Chief Edger... you did not mention the most interesting part of our Friendly Firehouse spirit... wouldn't have believed until I saw for myself...

Here’s a tidbit you didn’t know about Station 5. Station 5 used to be two separate stations, which were Stations 10 and 11. The bunk rooms at 18 are for the live-in program. Engine 5 is ex-Engine 10. Truck 5 is ex-Ladder 11. Rescue 5 is ex-Rescue 11. Special Unit 5 is ex-Special Unit 11 and used to run a mid to late 1990s Ford F350 with a Power Stroke diesel.

I have a guess as to why this vfd has moved away from blue lights. In our area(Pittsburgh, PA) the PSP has been targeting our volunteers due to the 100 year old vehicle code that is unbelievably restrictive as far as volunteers.

YES years ago in my area, volunteers used to be able to have a blue emergency light 😊 then all PD went to blue lights. They changed it to a steady forward GREEN none flashing light. Then as times changed the IC has a flashing GREEN light and that's the ONLY green light allowed It's so all responders can see where the BC is set up. I am an Advisor for the Fire Cadets program. We have 2 mid 2000 surplus Aid rigs on E-450 Fords. The Cadets work with the AiIR unit and the MSO on treatment of FF in the taking a break area at big events. Taking vitals on FF recording for Paramedic on scene. The big one is the resupply of Gatorade and Water, I just found out from a retired Paramedic who is also a Advisor and Chaplain that ( PAYDAY) candy bars have better energy to help the body than the expensive sports bars. What's in Payday bars has the right ingredient for body recovery 😊 plus the FF love them at big call outs we go on. The biggest issue for us is ( ICE) resupply. I always stop and stock up at a store on the way to call with my freezer camping bags 😊 when I said refill of the Air pack, we have a new F-550-4 door compressor rig just for refilling Air packs. It is a multi zone call out rig, it goes when Rehab and MSO get Toned out. Each zone doesn't have their own air compressor rig, they do have refill equipment at the stations. ICE or the number "1" thing I would like to see incorporated into the response vehicle, my gosh if you can have small ICE makers on a vessel, you can make something work on Fire equipment, after all boats and FF equipment run off Generator sets that are built aboard 😊

​@@CPR12345 Generally speaking, there are different levels of fire stations here in Germany. A typical village with around 2,000 inhabitants usually has a small fire station with around 20-35 volunteer firefighters and 2 vehicles. A medium or standard fire engine with less water but space for 6 to 9 people and a tanker with lots of water and seating for 3 people. This is the basic equipment of the fire brigade. In the centre of a small municipality of just under 9,000 inhabitants, there is a base fire brigade with at least 30 firefighters and at least 3 vehicles, but usually there are four or five emergency vehicles. A tanker and one or two standard fire engines, a rescue vehicle or a vehicle for transporting materials or technical equipment and a crew transport vehicle. A fairly large municipality will usually have a focal point fire brigade with between 50 and 90 firefighters and a command vehicle (Like a small MOC) or a ladder truck or other special vehicles such as boats or larger tankers and logistics vehicles. A town with less than 100,000 inhabitants usually has the largest fire stations, which is also the largest in the entire district with up to 130 volunteer firefighters and usually has almost 20 different vehicles in a large equipment depot (often without ambulances and rescue services, which are operated by an aid organisation). From a mobile operations centre to 4 standard fire engines and 2 ladder trucks and 3 tankers, a larger rescue vehicle, 3 logistics vehicles, and extra equipment such as field cookers and sandbag machines. *So basically, almost every district of a municipality has its own smaller fire station and then there is a larger fire brigade in the municipal centre, which is also alerted for each district in an emergency.* *It's more or less the same in the city, except that the main fire station in the city centre can be twice as big as the next one in the district centre 9 miles away.*
