I don't know how many people that commented on this about the number of units that responded will see this, but ,for any future information, this is a normal response in Clearwater. A structure fire in Clearwater city limits sends 3 Engines, 1 Truck, 1 Rescue, 1 Squad, 2 District Chiefs, a Training Chief (white suburban), and a Lieutenant Rescue vehicle (not in video) in charge of medical. Second alarms vary but normally send another 1-2 Engines, 1 Truck/Squad and 1 more District Chief on top of the original call-out.

Just have a tank roll over the house. Gotta admit that does seem a little excessive for a house fire but who knows must of been a all hands call.

Great catch! In Volusia County (Daytona Beach area) a response for that type of call would probably have been 2-3 engines, a tender (tanker, and depending if theres hydrants near by), 1-2 battalion, and an ambulance.

Great to see Roto-Ray's in Florida. Thanks Ricky.

It was due to the information given by the caller and if multiple calls are received. The district chief called for a working fire file before anyone got on scene.

I working with testing cell phone signal strength in Florida including the Clearwater area, with all the vegetation and structures close to one another this respone is definitely needed.

I still remember seeing this on the Active Call List. When all units were responding (I believe CL600, CL610 and CL400 took it at one time as well) I thought the activated the Working Fire File and called for a 2 Alarm before any units were onscene lmao

Engine 48 is a GORGEOUS velocity! 😰😰😰😍😍😍

4 engines 1 ladder truck 1 rescue 3 Chief cars 1 PD Car 1 citizen patrol / i don't care what anyone says this is the turn out every fire should have because nothing is worse than having to pull guys out and wait for more engines.

you should come over to the UK, neighbours house went up when I was younger, 2 floors, full structure fire, woman still in the house (she did not make it out), the initial response was 5 engines (one of which was a specialist rescue team) and two ladders, a water tanker also turned up because she had so much old flammable furniture (almost everything was pre-fire regulation) that they couldn't get enough water by running off the mains having already emptied the engines. also had 6 cop cars to shut the area down due to the amount of smoke. by the time it was over, my house (the only one it was connected to) had more water damage than smoke damage but the scene commander said had they put it been there 3 mins later, they would have lost our house too because of the heat...

Nice video!! Love the zoom ins

Whoa what a lot of firetrucks for a structure 🔥 🚒

Nice catch. This video must of made your day. Lots of great action coming down your street

Nice response and a good stop on the fire. Couple of trucks didn't check to make sure their light bars were on though.

damn that's a damn good response for just a regular structure fire at my dept were lucky to get 3 trucks on scene and that's with mutual aid

Gotta love the Pinellas County dispatch system, no matter where the call is the closest unit goes. Plus the dispatcher turns on station lights and can shut or open station doors if needed for long term station coverage. One of the best systems out there. Vs. Hillsborough county and city of Tampa systems that send units past other city's stations for emergency calls right down the streets from them. Even if it's major medical or structure fire related. Really don't understand that!

Agreed. And I don't remember but It was around 10 am. It was more of a dry heat then humid I think

I am in love with those red white and blue trucks!

AWESOME vid and very nice rigs! I also like that they are from many different stations and some look very different in their color scheme and light setup - not like us where we can easily get 8 units running from one single station ... well somehow that's cool as well ^^ anyway like + fav for your vid

Everyone is hating on the amount of apparatus on this call. Most Departments a Standard Dwelling Fire Response is 4 to 5 Engines, 1 to 2 Truck Companies, at least 1 Chief, and Police Response. Basically that is what they had here if you count the apparatus, probably requested an additional engine for man power.

WOW!!!! I AM IMPRESSED

for those of you commenting on the amount of trucks, yes it is A LOT for an initial response, but it looks like ( to me) 2 full size responses from 2 departments where I live an Initial "Full Assignment Response" is 1 Command Unit 1 Ladder/Quint/Tower, 1 Rescue-Engine, 2 Pumper/Engines, (1 Tanker if remote), 1 Ambulance and 2/3 Police units.

Wow, awesome video!

Nice colour on all vehicles.

My favorite video today!

Most fire Departments call for back up do to the nature of a fire think about it and it's always best to have more then less and the spinding lights is a siren it spends cause the sounds travels louder.

One reason could be staffing. small crews mean more companies are needed on manpower intensive calls like fires. Secondly, weather in central Florida can be BRUTAL in the warm months. Lots of ff's are needed to rotate crews to prevent heat related injuries. (this was in May) Thirdly, the first due WAS out on another call, and mutual aid was called in. That's why Clearwater was late to their own fire.

E48 is a beautiful piece of apparatus

Wow that was a lot of rigs! That's our whole department times by 3!

One reason that areas first due engine was not there first in because it was on another call and asked to be put on it. This was in the area of curlew rd and US19. One of the Clearwater stations is all the way down on belcher past sunset point rd. These other stations are right around the corner kinda. If Clearwater engine 50, Whose station is at countryside bvld and st rd 580, was available before this they would have been there first. And thank you :)

And some trucks had orange and white on them :) COOL

No. I have to wait till im 18 to start the emt school im going to. I cant wait either, finally be learning stuff that I care about. And Thank you :)

When you get to be an experienced driver, you learn to anticipate the response of other drivers.

Thanks :D

Wow. This is Dunedin. That's weird to click on this video and get your hometown fire department.

Ah, but you don't know what you have until you get there. From reading the op's comments, it sounds like the Clearwater units are in addition to the norm. He said they were already out on a run, and help was called for from neighbors. They then responded to this. However, 3-4 engines and 2 trucks is a fairly common response in many areas.

Helps with crash paperwork, Directing traffic stuff like that. I got into an accident a month ago and he wrote the crash report, fhp was there for a minute and left the rest to cit patrol

If my buff memory serves correct that assignment is similar to a “box alarm” 1 alarm fire in Pittsburgh - 4 engines, 1 truck, 1 EMS Rescue Truck, Mac 1, 2 Batt. Chiefs and I believe a safety chief. Any PBF firemen or buffs can confirm? To compare

Florida has it's mutual aid system very together. This works very well with Orlando/Orange County/Apopka/Seminole County. It's whose closest; boundary lines do not matter.

Nice stop/save.

Great turn out!

How may guys do you run on a piece (3,4,5, etc...)?

It's better to have more than you need coming to a scene than needed. It's easier to downgrade the response or cancel apparatus response than it is to catch up if it turns out to be worse than expected.

Would love to have that kind of a response. Jobs get done and more importantly firefighters get relief. What was the temp and humidity that day?

What exactly is the purpose of Citizens Patrol?

50 was supposed to be replaced at the beginning of may. 47 I don't know.

Diese extrem schnellen Ausbreitungen des Feuers, hängt doch mit der Holz-Bauweise zusammen, oder?

There's only two tankers in Pinellas county and they were nowhere near the fire.

1:27 on the tower love the spiny siren

On scene trucks are Atleast 5-7 minutes out. On an initial fire you need 2 and 2 working and a third truck for the rit team. Then you need more for rehab purposes and more to do rehab. If you have the resources they should be there. It's a harder job than everyone thinks.

Well they've certainly kept them in good shape.

2:43 I hear the cell-phone scanner app. You should get a real scanner...they're more fun :) plus you can choose exactly what channels you want, rather than having to pick from an online list. Cuts down on data streaming, too.

Steady now steady!

They had squad and engine 51 coming. Along with Tiller 45 but they got cancelled

I love the onlookers response @ 3:44. Good turnout though!

Yeah lol. I was sleeping and my boyfriend called saying there was a house fully involved and i was like im sleeping....But yeah it was an interesting way to start the day. :D

Good turnout.Don't know about this instance, but one reason a lot of trucks can turn out is like our local volunteer department: There's 3 guys in-town that are always first there and out the door within a couple minutes of a page. The rest will trickle in in singles or pairs as they get there, I myself live 15 minutes from the firehall if I haul ass, as such, as two volunteers get prepped, they grab another vehicle to head to the scene, a large fire can have trucks from the same hall arriving an hour apart. Not to mention that here in Montana, a lot of houses are far from hydrants and need every gallon of available water.Plus, until just the last month (two new trucks!!) we only had 2 good pumpers and 3 small rescue/crash/rural pumpers in the entire county. We sometimes had brush trucks arriving at fires because it was the only extra water we had along with just being legal (lights and sirens) fast transport of crews.

I'd say when the phone call isn't very precise, then you are better safe than sorry sending out a little bit more Engines; Some time ago we had a small kitchen fire in a small to medium sized apartment building and we responded with 13 units (5 of them Engines) from 4 stations

they don't have too much funding they are one of the most busiest departments in the US

Requires water, no hydrant visible, meaning several Engine/Tankers dispatched.

There is something so stimulating about an electric siren mixed with a Q

@u1s1m1c I said the same too. Like I see no smoke or flames. Well, they must had nothing to do at. That moment or was putting on a show. Nice fire engines though. Thank God for FF, EMTs,Nurses,Doctors,Policeman & wonen,Military,

The transcript of the dispatch read as: ladder 8 quint 1 engines 6 engine 54 hose wagon 1 heavy rescue 6 medic 80 tower 1 marine 3 battalion 2, 7, and 13 foam 12 please respond to single trailer on fire. Time out 13:27

How hard is it to hold a camera still?

What no air support ?

That deputy wanted to see what real work is

they go all out even when there is a small fire like this now if it was me in this stich i would love this respone

I was thinking the same thing too, I don't know if they maybe thought it was a bigger road the fire was on or what.

Strobes or LED's?? Seems like those are newer trucks that would have LED's. They're nice looking trucks though.

Did you film this with a potato? I've seen smoother shooting from horseback.

How is it someone was in position to film first due companies ?

Some had stobe lightbars the camera didn't pick up.

I do drive defensively, I however can not control the way other people drive or react to seeing an emergency vehicle behind them

I think he means he's lucky if they get two or three firefighters to respond.
