As a firefighter, I appreciate the videos that you post. As a fire captain, this is one of the few videos that I have seen where the majority of the people in the equipment actually know how to operate a Q2B siren as well as the air horns. Sirens are cycled well and not drowned out by the air horn. Good job guys!

@@dug2fire sounds like you don’t know what a rural fire department is, nowadays with little pay, training requirements and low budgets you’re lucky you are getting this. This is a mutual aid agreement where if there is a structural fire they send all these units to make sure that adequate staffing is met to reduce injury and ensure the public is provided for, E3 had 3 in the truck, Ladder 2 with 1 and E4 with 1, some full time departments run with 2 on each, not a big difference there. I’m from this community and most of these guys can run circles around some of the best departments in the northeast.

I saw a kid about two weeks ago outside my house standing on the side of the road filming fire trucks with his phone. Thought it was strange, then this video was suggested on KZread and I can see my house! Small world

So true, it's always the second truck through that gets t-boned at an intersection. Drivers are so focused on the first truck they hit the gas without even realizing there are other units behind it. You never see that in these response videos.

Here in the UK all pumps whether whole time or retained must have a minimum crew of 4, 5 preferably. Aerials just have a driver as a support pump is always despatched to crew it. Specialist rigs such as incident command, foam, hose layer ect will usually just have a driver also. These vehicles are mainly the demountable pod type.

interesting to hear about that; Over here in Germany Aerials have a crew of 2, sometimes 3, and an Engine / pump usually has a crew of 9 at volunteer departments and 6 at career departments; Special operations apparatus like Tankers, Heavy Rescues etc come with a crew of 3 as well

@daveadler6112

Does that include call fire departments in the UK, or only the full-time career departments? The fire department seen in this picture is not a full-time career department, they are paid per call volunteers (which is uncommon, most volunteers in the US receive no pay), so they may not have more than a couple people to respond with the engine at first.

@johnbratley6926

@@daveadler6112 In the UK the statutory minimum crew on a pump is 4 for both wholetime (career) and retained (paid volunteers). We only have county (state) fire services and all firefighters are trained to a national standard. The retained firefighters are paid the standard hourly rate for their mandated training sessions and a call out fee plus the hourly rate every time they are paged to a job. Unless at least 4 retained firefighters respond to the station within a certain number of minutes that appliance is not mobilised.

Especially if you are going to have to set up water shuttles or other labor/time intensive incidents.

In my city, a structure fire response is usually 4 engines, 1 ladder, and a Chief. If it’s a larger structure, it’s, 6 engines, 2 ladders, 2 chiefs, and sometimes haz mat and rescue. It’s mostly for manpower, and it’s better to have too many at once, then not enough and play catch up, which never works out well.
