I thought I told you this :P Denver is really very cool for buffing! Even if Colorado can be sometimes difficult to catch anything, I will publish about 30 videos like this just from this state which is insane! Thank you! :D
Aha you might be thinking about Chris or Tim, you mentioned to me you would tour the States but I did not know you'd be hitting up this many cities. Anyhow, I look forward to those videos :D
Nice action for sure. I live in Colorado Springs and the busiest stations in Colorado Springs are Fire Station 8 and Fire Station 4 in that order. Ironic that it’s the same station numbers in Denver
I worked out of 14 back in 1961. I was on the Brown Palace Hotel fire 2nd or 3rd alarm back in 1961 I think. I cannot remember the date. I was also on the 2nd alarm for the Stapleton Airport aircraft wreck that hit the unfinished runway.
Did you know Todd Cassidy, he was an engineer at 14's back then? Your're thinking of the Albany Hotel fire on Labor Day weekend 1962. That one went to 4 alarms, which was as far as the run cards went. They had to call in a lot of suburban FD mutual air help on that one.
@@user-hw1cr5uq4z I caught a plug or two on 14's back then, but I have forgotten who I rode with. You are probably right about the Albany, for some reason I thought it was the Brown Palace. You have brought up some memories for me as it was a 4 alarm that night. I moved out of Denver in the fall of 1962 and recently I found my FD badge in a drawer of forgotten things, finding these videos brought up more memories.
Firescue112 answered you already, but side note... sometimes when it is the same call, you'll see them go in different directions especially if it's an area around train tracks/traffic if they are prone to getting stuck at a crossing via the shortest route.
Thank you! It first depends on the State, some of them don't allow their fire departments to use blue lights (just for police vehicles) but some states do. Somehow even a few departments in states with the permission for using blue light don't use it. Denver Fire only has a few blue lights on the side and rear parts of their rigs but none at the front (where they are the best and most necessary for being well recognizable in traffic. I'll publish other videos from Colorado soon where the departments really have a great use of red, blue and white lights in the front!
Emergency service turnouts Australia I live in Denver, most out our fire trucks with have mostly red and white lights on the central light bars. One thing I can say for certain though, our ambulances have killer air horns
@@ColoradoFireBuff You are correct... but that was formerly Sheridan Fire Department before Denver began providing that city's fire service. It was formerly Sheridan Engine 52.
