When your local fire department in a small town of 10,000 run 4 trucks 2 rescue vehicles a boat some snow extraction vehicles and 5 ambulances at the fire hall and 1 at the city lock up
(You wont care to read this 😂 too long )Lmao I'm in a town/area of 35,000 we have 2 trucks with operation vehicles etc and about maybe 6/7 ambulances in the main town than 1 truck and 1 operation vehicle, in the other town about 30min away maybe like 2 ambos/2 trucks(?) And then in the bigger town 40min out we have a couple trucks/1 or 2 ambos and in the other 2 small towns we have just a couple of trucks lol so heaps of trucks and stuff lmao
Awesome video! ‘You just never know what you’re going to get.’ Well said! Great insight into the camaraderie that is the brotherhood #homeawayfromhome #thekitchen
nice little fire station; At my EMS station we run 4 different units, the fire station on the other side of the road runs 9 units; Of course both are rather small compared to the large stations in the towns and cities
How long have you been working for this how long you guys been how long you guys started been working for my dad's in the army and them enough for my dad's
20,000 RUNS??? that 54 runs a 24 hr shift? just by curious how do you count these? if a call requires a engine and a ambulance is that considered 2 runs because of the two apparatus?
Just read where the fire station would not take a woman to the hospital...thought she was a covidvpatient, but was actually have a massive heart problem and died.

Nice video. I am a professional (qualifier). It is funny (sad) how the first call, and only call in the video was medical. It really is about 80% of our job. 15% is auto fire alarms..again, "false alarms". You are sending 4 people and then requesting another 2 people to deal with a call that has a total of 2-3 person workload, start-to-finish. You are wasting time and resources. It is a subtle thing that the public doesn't know. Sending a fire engine to an aid call is like sending an electrician to a plumbing job. Phoenix is wasting time and resources, not matching resources to the type of call, and creating the "impression of work". It is time to change the profession, and Phoenix is not an example.
I agree. I once was a volunteer in a combination department and made the point the department should have quick response vehicles for aid calls and maybe minimal water for, say, a rubbish fire. Of course not; the department had to have the behemoths go to a cut finger. The department's argument was "we might be on an aid call and have a fire call" but as you point up the statistics show that the next call will likely be another aid call. Leave the behemoth in the barn and go get it if necessary (and we had four stations, another engine could have responded anyway.
Not sure where you're getting the "2-3 person workload" from. Particularly when patients are heavy, or in the basement, or upstairs, all 4 people on an engine company manage to be employed on a medical call, while the squad crew treats the patient, gets a history, documents their meds, etc. The engine is going to medical calls within their first due area and can go in service immediately if they get a fire. Maybe the biggest thing you're missing is that, unlike any other call, the EMS calls are actually billed out and will generally yield a net profit, which goes back into the department's budget and buys gear. How are you seeing this as a waste of resources that might otherwise be at the station watching TV?
