SOOOOOO thankful you didn't have any fires that day. Made it so much easier to work in that day. Did a helluva good job holding everything down and making sure everyone was safe that day. Glad to see everyone in your station made it through the day and that everyone went home....safely.
Sta. 44 is a great group of folks, well trained and very helpful as they helped me after I was involved in an accident after being rear ended, great people, thanks
Thank you to all our first responders. I have a great appreciation and respect for what you do everyday. 🙌🏼🙏🏼

Don't forget blankets!!! Many people get stuck on the side of the road during blizzards and are discovered the next day frozen to death in their vehicles. A few thick blankets will help you get through the night.
We all have our rough conditions, in various parts of the countries. Thanks for sharing how you handle snow conditions, but ended up covering a record setting weather event. Thanks!
Awesome work first responders! I'm on the other side of the mountains and it's easy to forget the crazy weather you guys get too. Looks like you guys handled this as well as possible though! Thank you!

We don’t get as much snow as you guys do here on the western slope but our rigs have the auto snow chains on our type 1s and type 3 engines but we run our type 6 engines a lot when it snows to med aids even on fires since we run 500 gallons in our 6s and our tenders are 6x6 which helps, But the type 6 engines seem to work better in snow and easier to move around. I’m one of the BCs So luckily I drive a 4 wheel lifted Tahoe and don’t go to much med aids more wildland stuff for me these days. Glad to see everyone was safe after that Blizzard
We occasionally get weather like that in Connecticut. My dad works for public works and his crew is always phenomenal at getting the roads cleared for other first responders. In my opinion, public works are also first responders as they are often out in the public and see things.
So that’s where Red 3 is stationed.
His get ready kit is also a good idea for hurricanes
Dang I’m trying to become a paramedic before I get on a department but this is really making me want to forget about college and get on now lol

Same with our department in New York we always fill up at a local flying j truck stop because it’s way easier to get to the pumps but most places I know big and small use local fuel stations to fill up . Some city departments use the Department of transportation or city works pumps however
up in Maine the fire apparatus are all equipped with auto chains - but they're not much use when you're driving super slow.

Do their satnavs get info directly from the dispatch for the emergency location? Or do they punch it in manually each time?

Hmmm, what kind of tires do you guys run on your Fords? I don’t know if you guys use all seasons or switch from summer to winter tires
Does the Ford Police Interceptor have a rear differential lock? If not, no wonder it got stuck. . .
Does the Medic have those chains that rotate just in front of the rear tires? I've seen and heard them on some apparatus, they rotate up and out of the way when not needed.

Chains are very effective at improving traction in deep snow. However, most of the time what looks like snow causing problems is actually snow on top of ice. While chains are also useful to get you out of ice, the best solution is studded snow tires. There are some non-studded snow tires out there that approach the performance of studded snow tires, and if your state does not allow studded snow tires you could look in to those. If you are going to do snow tires of any kind, I recommend getting 4 steel rims to put the snow tires on, and keeping your summer or all-season tires on the rims you got with the car (probably alloy rims these days). This is for two reasons. First off, if you do this, have the proper knowledge, and the proper tools, you can do the swap from summer to winter tires by yourself. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, you eliminate the chance of breaking a Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensor (part of the valve stem most any car built since 2007). Considering that those sensors cost the mechanic about $150, then there's the markup on the part, the hour or so of labor it takes to get the sensor installed and talking to your car's computer, and you're looking at something like $300 every time one of those sensors breaks. When you have a set of summer tire/rims and a set of winter tire/rims, all you might need to pay for your mechanic to do is get the sensors talking to your car's computer. If you don't trust your mechanic to get the lug nuts (or if it's a VW, lug bolts) tight enough, first off get a new mechanic, but secondly you can always spend $50 on a 1/2" torque wrench and $5 on a correctly sized socket, and check it yourself. Look in your owners manual to see what the recommended torque is, as well as the special pattern to tighten the lugs in (should be somewhere from 85-110 foot-pounds torque for most vehicles).
You're amazing👍
