Firefighter/Paramedic Costello was awesome! He knew the truck inside and out, and was able to give clear explanations of everything. He wasn’t boring or monotone either, very impressive. Thanks for the tour Paul and PIO, very interesting truck!
Steve Yarosz were you there? No. So don’t say nothing if you don’t know how the exact model works. Each one has different ways of working. I’m not saying I’m a Hazmat Tech, I’m just saying.
5:53 *SOMETHING MOST PPL DON'T KNOW w/HAZMAT IN REFERENCE TO WEARING SUITS IS.....* when you are completely suited up & your are working in a "hot" zone, you can't just walk back to the truck & immediately take off your suit such as a firefighter coming out of a fire. You must be scrubbed clean w/brushes & decon chemicals, there are several stages you must go thru before removing your suit, face mask, etc(it could be 10-20mins doing these different decon stages/stations). You must closely monitor you SCBA air pressure, you own body temp(that's the reason for the ice pack vests Paul mentioned), how long does it take to walk back to the decon area(if a warehouse Hazmat call) & this is why Hazmat uses 1hr air bottles. No matter what.....Hazmat is a unique job, Paul did a amazing job breaking it down the equip & explaining it.
Brennan Crumb Fire Videos yes. We have decon procedures. Every department should have one. There are also new hoods being made to reduce the amount of soot and carcinogens from contacting skin. Turnout gear is also evolving! Wash it after each house fire or car fire, brush/wild land fires, and outdoor fires where there are people burning rubbers and plastics and whatever else.
I laughed when they said hazmat 38 returned and got a call for engine 38. I was like just got back lol great job guys keep doing the hard work its very much appreciated
I love the way firefighter Costello explained the truck. Very well organized. Is it equipped with a weather station? Keep up the great work with the videos! I vote Red 1 next!
Absolutely love this type of videos. Such incredible detail and explaining everything thoroughly. I love it and I can't have enough of it. Never stop!! Wait so the guys who run Hazmat 38 also run Engine 38? Thank you all so much for your service!!
Nice to see they have a plan "B" and plan "C" in case one of those little specialized sniffers breaks or needs servicing. Stuff happens when you least expect it and it's always nice to have every single last little part in inventory right there when you need it. Costello was entertaining to listen too.
WOW ! ! 😎 this is cool and intense too 😃 thanks for sharing all the details of this Hazmat Truck 👏👏😮😃 no sooner did they get back from one call when they had to rush off to another call 😮 take care and stay safe and secure always
What a toxic world we live in now days. Luckily, we have you all to watch-out for us and keep us safe. That was a lot of high-tech equipment, but obviously it is needed with all the potential hazards out there. Keep safe!
1:48 What type of Hazmat calls do you all get, Paul said they keep products "to neutralize asses & bases", go back & listen for yourselves, but depending on what type you neutralize...... are you hiring?? LOL, ANOTHER AWESOME VID YOU BOTH PUT TOGETHER ON BEHALF OF YOUR DEPT.....KEEP IT UP & STAY SAFE ALL.
i think meeters are fun and they can pick up gases and firefighter / paramedic castello was very smart and a good guy to give us on this fleet Friday we take an in- depth tour of hazmat 38 I like you and it is fun
I run a private non-profit fire department out of my home and I don’t get many emergencies. The last major emergency I got was a fluff pile fire in my hometown.
I only have a John Deere Gator. I’m not a real firefighter, but I have a scanner app on my mobile phone that I listen to when I see something out of place. My scanner app wasn’t used when I got the fluff pile fire call, as I was just returning from helping my dad and his employee. My truck’s not just for fire purposes. The lights are demountable for whenever I go on escort duty.
Emory Delss Also, Emory, on 9/11, I was among the first people on the scene of a 2 vehicle MVA. I have video footage on my digital camera that could help police in my former neighborhood determine who was at fault for the accident so they can charge the right person.
How does cross-staffing work at SMFR in case the primary unit is already at a call? Does another company drive to the station to take over the special unit?
Is there any chance that you guys could do another battalion chiefs vehicle tour, in depth. If not all the videos are great and I’m British so enjoying the way Americans say words so wrong.
This is a good one. Always wandered how these rigs looked and layed out. Im just thinking about how fun that would be to own as a personal vehicle. Could be like a gaint camper and stuff
Great job as always!!! I might have missed it, but what’s the “yellow” truck for? Also, did you spec that Haz Mat truck out yourself or did your department purchase it used from another Dept or company?
The yellow truck was Rehab 12 and was used for air, light, and firefighter rehab. It was normally kept at Station 12, but was temporarily relocated to Station 38 while there was some driveway work done at Station 12. It has since been replaced with a slightly newer truck and is back at Station 12 now.
Question and request. Q: what is the call sign for pio? Can you do a video on arson unit please, if you don't already have one. Thank you for your service.
An old fire truck or rescue truck would make the best work truck ever I have a ram 3500 with a utility box and the sixft tall enclosed box and I still need more room and shelves
so at a hazmat call... do you respond with both the hazmat and the engine (like FDNY squad units), or just the hazmat? and do you have a dossimeter with a range above 3.6 roentgen?
Serious question: How many Hours of training are required per year to be certified at highest level tech on this apparatus?? Have you ever been dispatched out of state?
