Little long for a Box response, my station usually dosen’t take longer then a minute to leave station for a house fire unless we don’t have a driver at station
There are different manpower requirements for different states (for example some states require NFPA 1710 & 1720 while other do not follow the guidelines) that require responding apparatus to have certain levels of staffing before responding, or if there isn't sufficient staffing responding at say the 5 minute mark, then dispatch adds the missing apparatus from the next alarm until the staffing minimums are met. I do not know if Penn Wynne Fire is volunteer, a combination dept or fully paid, but I'm guessing from the response it is at least a combination Fire Dept.
I used to belong to a station near Pittsburgh (no longer in service) that the siren was the only way I was alerted to a call as there weren’t enough plectron monitors or pagers to go around. Today’s tech (active 911 and Chief 360 apps) and MARCS/Tyler paging has made the station siren obsolete. Here in OH, we only use them for tornado warnings.
Looks like Penn Wynne is a suburb of Philadelphia. They fly the Canadian flag to honor one of their brothers, who perished while fighting a house fire on July 4, 2021. He had prepared to move back to his native Canada the following day.
Good catch Max! I see the engine went with a crew of 1 for this run as well, unfortunate but what can ya do. I don't think I ever asked but, are you thinkin of volunteering with Penn Wynne someday?
@@MaxsFireVideography I know the feeling. I stopped doing response videos when I started volunteering. I'll be doing some periodically though. If and when you get on, see if the Chief's will permit you to put a go-pro in one of the rigs when you get a call to record the response. I know of a senior man at Willow Street Fire Company south of Lancaster who does that.
Me too but that's not what the Canada flag is for, it is for firefighter DeMuynck who tragically passed away from Injuries he sustained from when he was fighting a house fire on July 4th 2021 and he was supposed to visit his family in Canada the following day
@@MaxsFireVideography Thanks for sharing such sobering and respectful news! May Firefighter DeMuynck's Family have solace and comfort in knowing that his brothers/sisters have not forgotten him and his sacrifice to the community! Brothers/sisters across our borders, I salute you!!! 😎🤝🇨🇦🇺🇲
