I record videos of emergency response vehicles. Some videos you will see on this channel are emergency vehicles responding, emergency vehicle progression, and walk-around tours. This channel is based in the state of Arizona, but may occasionally feature other areas.

Thanks! I heard about that story a while back, thought it was pretty cool that that truck made it all the way out here. Phoenix is definitely putting it to good use 💯
Thank you! Support 12 is cross-staffed by both engine and ladder 12. During this video, ladder crew had the support while engine 12 was responding in the engine. Support trucks hold the technical rescue equipment needed for rescue calls such as mountain rescues, water rescues, etc. Hope this helps!
A reserve truck is a truck being used in place of the frontline rig. Engine 935's frontline is a Pierce Quantum, but during this time it was in for maintenance, so they were in the reserve American LaFrance Eagle.
The heavy rescue trucks (known as squad trucks during the filming of this video) on scene are hazmat equipped. I don't believe any hazmat operations were involved in this fire.
The 900 engines are staffed, and they do have front line rigs. The way you can tell if a unit is reserve or not is if they have a white removeable number plate on each side, rather than the golden number decal.
@@jefforr439 Yep, they would both be staffed. I do believe when it comes to Phoenix's rescues, 900 rescues are overtime rigs so they aren't always staffed. However, with engines, as far as I know, the 900 engines are fully staffed.
What he means when he says reserve is that they are not in thier Frontline truck. They are using a backup since thier Frontline truck was getting work done on it.
If if it is E930 then it is not a reserve engine. It is an Adaptive Response unit in a program that was initiated years ago. All Adaptive Response units are fullly manned and are used to fill in other stations when there units are going to training, move ups etc. Any apparatus in Phoenix that has a 9--- number is an adaptive response piece of equipment. Of course they respond in their first dues just like any other unit.
Yes, the footage was recorded a while ago. Between then and now I taken a break from uploading and recording, so now that I have more time on my hands, I'm uploading some old footage.
A ladder tender is a smaller truck that is staffed by the ladder crew. They use it in events where they don't need the big ladder, such as medical calls. Hope this helps!
As far as I know, most of them become reserve units for the department, so they can fill in for new trucks that are down for maintenance. I know both Phoenix and other departments auction off some of their old trucks, but I don't know where they do it.
First you hear the call on their dispatch channel and while they're dispatching it they'll call for whatever units and then they'll call for firebird the helicopter.
