I've seen lots a channels about emergency ops on the water but never from this perspective. Very informative and great to highlight the ones with the honor of coming to rescue. Another excellent video.
I just watched the TV show emergency where they had station 110 and they did show at the end station on water so that was kind of neat to know that there is a station 110 that you are showing us forgive me for not putting my thoughts totally clear
Thank you so much for tour of LA Station #110. Really like the Deck hand, giving commands on distance from Dock on Leaving and GREAT 👍 job backing into slip.
20 years ago, I took my son and daughter to see Fire Boat 1 when it was still in service. As we were looking through the glass the captain flagged us inside. We went below the deck and got a complete tour of the boat. Fast forward to today, my son is in his 8th year now with LA County out of station 167 in El Monte
I love the video but come on! I want to see more of the firehouse! Upstairs, downstairs, etc. I get that most want to see the fire boat and that’s totally cool. But what I want to see is 110 top to bottom. Oh well, great video though.
Nice job covering all that they do! Thanks for asking all the right questions! Thank your friend for helping with the tour! (Firefighter Perez) This would be a great field trip for schools but the small quarters on the boat they couldn’t go out on it. We homeschool our kids and are apart of a group of homeschoolers so maybe we will use this video for a “virtual tour”! Not sure if there is any copyright issues with that, you can let me know. Very cool though! Keep em comin!
Thank you. I don't think there are any issues with copyright if you simply show my video to others through my RU-vid channel. Only becomes a problem if you download it and try to use it on your own channel or for profit in some way. So, yes, feel free to show the kids, I think young people will really like it. Thanks!
@@jps3b That would be awesome! My son would totally enjoy every aspect of what you do there. The only thing is we live in upstate New York! That would be quite the field trip! 😂 Thanks for the offer though!
@@brianalling5483 well, we get visitors from all over the world due to our proximity to LAX (5 miles), so if you ever make it into the Los Angeles area, we would love to see you and your son.
@@CymruEmergencyResponder this system is working just fine! You should worry about Europe. I don't worry about Europe and you shouldn't worry about us. Good day!
@@mgp870 with respect, there are numerous collisions involving emergency vehicles in the US each year where tiredness is a significant factor. You can never tell how busy a shift will be beforehand. You could have a quiet 24 hour shift but the next one could be non-stop with no time to rest adequately, leading to significantly increased risk and poor decision making.
Great video....but I have to say. A Quint tiller truck with only 4 firefighters? It has 5 functions so it should be staffed with 5 firefighters at a minimum. Also the boat crew not wearing any PFD while out on the water? Practice what you preach.
Several of the five firefighting functions are passive and don't require a person per, or can be shared with ff's from other rigs. 1) aerial device 2) ground ladders 3) hose supply 4) pump 5) water storage. Ladder trucks have 1&2, engines have 3, 4, and 5.
Water safety regulations do not require PFD's to be _worn_ at all times, they merely require _enough_ PFD's for all people on the boat to have one _if needed._ These are people who do "man overboard" drills, if something happens on the fireboat, trust that the rescue ring will be tossed, on target, within minutes. Boaters assume some personal risk, based on self-awareness of how strong they are at swimming. Me being a non-swimming fool, I _always_ wear a pfd when boating; it's prudent.
I appreciate your comment Mr. Sykes. It’s not common practice to wear our PFD’s when we are inside the break wall. I assure you, we are all excellent swimmers and are very comfortable working on and around Boat 110. If the situation warrants it, the captain would give us the order to wear the PFD’s and have in the past when performing rescues out in the open water with big swells. Your invited to come ride with us so you can see that PFD’s aren’t really necessary here within the Marina.
