@@ZBeeb Glad you enjoyed it! We'll be highlighting most of the vehicles you mentioned. We have more than a dozen videos planned. Stay tuned!

Just amazing. Great explanation. Thank you for your service and thanks for the informative video! Is the engine captain also responsible for coordinating between different fire engine responses between different fire departments and or ambulances?

We're glad you enjoyed the video! When there's an incident involving multiple different fire departments, a 'Unified Command' structure is formed where 'Incident Commanders' from their respective agencies come together to make joint decisions on the incident. These 'Incident Commanders' control their respective resources. 'Incident Commanders' can initially be fire captains, but more often this role is transferred to battalion chiefs when they arrive, especially for larger incidents involving multiple agencies. For small incidents, fire captains can directly request and manage ambulances; but under a larger incident, they may again fall under the direction of the 'Incident Commander.'

Is San Jose starting to switch to pierce engines? I saw that engine 1, engine 2, and engine 37 are pierces.
