The colour coordination is fantastic. Makes on scene response quick with minimal guesswork. Also, the labeling on the shelves is great…again, looks like it’s a bit of a timesaver, and would make things a bit easier for the new guy as well. ;)
Hey there! How’s it going? Why dont you come over to our station? We have loads of trucks and rescue cars! Were inviting you if you want but nice video
Very nice truck and thank you for the Video. I wish you could come to Germany. I would love to show you around and see your reaction on the equipment and vehicles we use.
In South Australia the state volunteer brigade prefers Urban Interface style trucks. We have 3 main models of Urban Interface trucks they are called a 24P, 34P or a 44P The first number refers to how much water they carry and the second means they are 4 wheel drive, the letter means they can also act as pumper, so a 34P has 3000 litres of water, is 4 wheel drive and can pump. They have pump and roll capabilities, they can respond to MVAs, they have foam, they can respond to bushfires, structure fires and have Active Crew Protection systems. They make up the majority of trucks in the state, we do have some dedicated Volunteer pumpers but they mostly operate on the fringe of the state capital.
@@HeroesNextDoor I think you'd be surprised :) departments in Australia are on a colossal scale. The Country Fire Service in South Australia alone has 16,000 volunteer fire fighters. Its huge.
@@HeroesNextDoor it would be very interesting as Germany has a very Special System and the Truck also are totally Different and to some part much more specialized
Mini hazmat, mini rescue, mini water rescue, pumper / tanker, mini brush support, mini AFFR support, engine, foam, just missing light and air as well as command area and this truck could be on almost ever call and actually be helpful. Also a medic, just needs a tower or ladder. It is funny how much departments could save and improve if they had trucks that had at least a small amount of everything (especially if it’s a tiller truck). I am seeing that a lot more often on your channel. Most trucks I think of might have rescue and firefighting gear but not all that extra stuff.
Chief Wentz is a top notch individual. Met him doing a stand by at their station while they where on a funeral detail. Beautiful equipment very clean station.
It depends on where you are from and what era. Really they are interchangeable. But an easy way to think about it is a bottle holds water and a cylinder holds air.
That is the point of the channel. But also career staff too. Thanks for watching and make sure to like and share the video. It helps us go to more places
I come from Germany and am active in the volunteer fire brigade, but here we can only dream of such fantastic vehicles! The painting the whole blue light or here red light simply WOW
Ich weiß zwar nicht in welchem Bundesland du ein aktives Mitglied bist, aber ich als "Kamerad" kann behaupten das wir in Deutschland Technisch nicht schlecht aufgestellt sind.
@@tjbfarmer8610 Definitiv. Chrom und Bling Bling sind nicht alles. Wenn ich sehe wie die Gerätschaften bei den US-Fahrzeugen oftmals ungesichert und unsortiert in den Geräteräumen rumfliegen Rollen sich mir die Zehnägel auf.
Das ist nicht auf die Beladung der Fahrzeuge bezogen... Ich finde die Fahrzeuge schön anzusehen, bei uns darf man ja mittlerweile nicht mal vier Frontblitzer anbringen.
Did you ever stop to think that the taxpayers of these districts that you visit should maybe get a thank you? I have been in fire/ems for over 30 years and have never forgotte that ALL of this "dream equipment" is funded by local, county, state, federal dollars,whether it be from a local tax levy or the gluttonous homeland security boondoggle.Just a thought.
Yes we do. Most of the company’s we talk to only get a small portion of financial support from the taxpayers. They come up with genuineness ideas to improve and expand those small funds. But you are right we need to make sure the public is recognized and understand where the support go to.
Is the radio setup/freq. Not regualted/organized at all? We are standardized on a state level and additionally have national standards for "civil defense"/ catastrophe response
The radio set up in each of the apparatus in Walnutport are fairly simple. There are 2 in each apparatus. 1 vhf unit and 1 uhf unit. The vhf unit handle all communications with the primary communications center. (Lehigh County) The uhf handles communications with mutual aid counties. (Northampton and Carbon counties. Also in each unit is a minimum of 1 vhf and 1 uhf portable radio.
