For those who are asking, it was a baler room fire from a pallet being drug across the floor with a loose nail, sparks ignited loose paper which in turn ignited the bales.
Per the Website of Cloverhill Fire Dept, "During 1988, the Fire Company purchased a wrecked 1988 4x4 Dodge pickup with only 18 miles on it from the U.S. Forest Service to be used as an emergency medical first response vehicle. Massanutten Vo-tech repaired the vehicle which is now Squad 173." the equipment at Cloverhill is very well maintained and preserved.
awesome catches of all the Responding Fire Trucks and other Emergency Vehicles. hopefully everyone got out safely. keep up the good work to who shared this video and hope to see more That Dispatcher did an amazing job with notifying all the Department that must be a high stress job at times but she nailed it well. Dispatchers are definitely unsung heroes. much Respect to all First Responders and Dispatchers.
"Central show all Harrisonburg units out of service" lol just kidding. That it is a lot of apparatus. I'm just on a small town 100% volley dept with about 10 vehicles that are able to respond. Hope it was a fun one for you all. Nice job to the dispatchers
The fire was about a quarter mile off the road behind a large building and there wasn't a lot of fire just smoldering paper products. Then to I don't want to get involved with people concerned about privacy issues
@@skidude8989 No firefighters want to see anyone get hurt or killed but they responder to help out, but I've been around alot of firehouses nothing gets them moving like getting a fire call they don't want to see anyone's house or business burn down, but at the same time they get excited to go to a fire because it's the name of the job to go fight fires.
For what? to honk at the sticks and deers? this isn't a city, if theres nothing coming, and you can CLEARLY SEE there is nothing coming down the road, why do you need the siren to get through a turn?
You are correct, check with state DOT and V and T to see what it states for your state... I like Cali's laws about this. Can you clarify difference between 1 and 2 though?
Different states and counties and even cities have laws. California has 4 different types of responses. Code 1: Non-Emergency (no lights or sirens). Code 2: No lights or sirens but direct to the scene). Code 2 High: Lights on and sirens at Intersections/bad traffic. Code 3: All Lights and Sirens.
Hey, I'm from Germany and would love to know what's inside this weird looking "Rescue Squad". Was it the (sorry for my bad english) big tent (don't have another word for it right now :S)? I saw it at the Flickr pictures. Is it for regeneration etc when you got out of there? Thanks for any answer I get :) Greetings from Kassel, Germany!
If you are talking about the pick up truck pulling the massive Special Ops. trailer. It is basically a rehab/mass casualty unit and yes it has a tent I am pretty sure
I Plan To Take FireFighter 1 Before To Long But Now I Am A Video Guy And After I Take The Classes I Will Still Do Videos As Much As Possible Because They Really Like It
In Texas we use enclosed car haulers like the one in the video for HAZ MAT and Mass Casualty, Rehab, and onsite CASCADE systems for refilling SCBA's. and some can even refill O2 Bottles.
THERE WASN'T ANY FIRE WORTH FILMING. He really did get 95% of the action! The loading dock cardboard Smoulders....Building is (maybe, but probably not) threatened....Firefighters get there in time....Whole County responds, in case they don't, because nobody wants to lose a #1 employer.
The Main Reason You Don't See A Lot Of Lights Is Because Those Lights Are Halegon Bulb And For Some Reason Don't Show Up On My Camera Unless I Shoot After Dark
***** No this is just inside VA from west VA this would be in Rockingham County near the city of Harrisonburg; however the western border of Rockingham county is the VA - West VA state line.
***** I am sure that if they needed they could. Several local companies helped out on a massive warehouse fire earlier this year in winchester. And that was about an hours travel time each way
MOST PEOPLE IN THIS VIDEO NEED TO GO BACK TO DRIVEING SCHOOL AND LEARN THE MOST INPORTEND THING WHEN U SEE A FIRE TRUCK (ITS CALLED PULL THE FUCK OVER) I WOULD HAVE HANDED OUT OVER 100 TICKETS IN THIS VIDEO.
SuperGrandPrix99 and the sad thing is in my state (the state of illinois) its not a law that you have to switch lane or move over for a fire/ems vechial. but it is a law you have to switch lanes for a cop on the side of the road. never understood that.
oh ok. ive seen our fire dept do it. only since they have a regular rotater bar they just turn the whole bar on. and for some reason they have a amber traffic adviser that goes middle out and its on all the time when ever the truck is running. never knew why though.
They were coming off of a side road onto a main road. Just because we have lights and sirens doesnt let us drive recklessly, we have to make up for other peoples mistakes. Its better to move or stop or whatever than get into an accident and pull the "we had our lights and sirens on" card. And most of the time people dont know what to do when approached by emergency vehicles or they just dont care. Once we had to drive down the opposite side of the street responding to a cardiac arrest because the guy in front of us wouldnt pull over and swerved in front of us if we tried to go around him. Dangerous world.

It differs between volunteers or paid staff, what equipment is needed and what the structure is. Also dependent on how mutual aid is set up. Lets say in a city a residential home is reportedly on fire, first alarm would consist of 3 engines, a truck, a rescue, and ambulance and chiefs. 2nd alarm maybe 2 more engines, and a 2nd truck. 3rd alarm depending on what else they need. We had a 3rd alarm awhile back, it wasnt bad at all but since it was way out in the middle of nowhere so no hydrants, so we called the 2nd alarm and waited 10 minutes than called for a 3rd alarm tanker box, 6 tankers were then dispatched.
Last three alarm I dispatched several years ago was first due agency on initial alarm. Upon receipt of additional info and at request of responding station chief, made second alarm, which pulled two more station of manpower and equipment. Soon, it was requested for a third alarm, who got me the next three closest station. All stations responding were 100%volunteer, and did a outstanding job. I also wound up on this scene, as it was between work and home and I relieved out at 00:00.
Depends on the state... There is clearly some in this video who are using the "right of way" without sirens on. Now watch what happens if you go to use the "right of way" with just lights on. I'm 99% sure you and your department will be shelling out some big $. In NY, ambulances have to run a siren whenever lights are on, FD is supposed to to use the "right of way" or with lights on whenever the EV is within 500 ft of traffic. (just went over this in EVOC last night)
at 00:33 Haz Mat 900 needs some serious work on it's warning lights, almost did not look like it had it's emergency lights on as the strobe flashes were very slow. Not throwing rocks, just suggesting an upgrade for safety. Good footage.
