[Ride along] Engine 825 CVFD/PGFD 

I am a volunteer FF been one for 6 years and yes I agree we move with haste always but I am also curious us even as volunteers never approach scene of any kind without minimum of bunker pants on it is a sop

Or wearing their gear!!! Come off the rig ready to work

I've watched my dog drop turds quicker than this crew..

I am volunteer FF - PREVENTIST and agree with You for 100 % Love and respect from CZ! ❤😊😂❤

PGFD Gang hate em or love em they rock 🤘

Garrett Rusk I agree.

Tevano thebest you clearly are not on the job because as much as that does happen your only going to get the job done I'd your in full gear and it's done properly..... just because some guys do it dissent mean it's the norm...also these guys never NOT 1 OF THEM ever geared up.... Very sad performance. Firefighters should always expect to turn the corner and see fire.

S day

Lol nobody uses that crap

@@robloxer6808 Everyone uses them now.... we enjoy being able to hear the radio, ourselves, and not be deaf when we get home.

Q sires i have been driving fire trucks for 20 years been on the job for 30 and let me say that q screaming i dont blame you people act stupid they either try to out beat you or not paying attension so if u have to make that bitch scream so like it most people would not understand

Amen.

Women scream at me but that’s because I’m a dickhead

Shut up

The camera man dosent really need to get his gear or anything so of course he’s gonna get to the truck faster

davebutcher2011 everything does depend on the department. When I get a MVA call, we just get in our bunker boots and pants or, being a volunteer group, sometimes just throw someones gear in the rescue truck so we can leave right after they get to the station and they wait till on scene to gear up.

+Tevano thebest a lot of volunteer departments have a bad name. The last department I was on there was no smoking in rig or the station. Period. Even though we were Volunteer we were expected to act and be professional at all time, both in our department life and in our personnel life. No matter what the call was whether it was a structure fire, report of smoke, or a alarm going off we were expected to be fully ready to fight a fire. That included the officer being fully geared up. Yes I know all about responding full bore to a fire alarm sounding and the pain and hassle of getting geared up but that is part of the job even as a Volunteer. On the department I was on there was no excuse for the way these guys acted. If we did not act professional we went before the senior firefighter, officers, and the chief. One night on the way to Station 2 for a structure fire I was pulled over by the police for a headlight that was out. The next morning I was called into the Chief's office to explain why I was pulled over while responding to a call. We had a really bad fire one day that reported Children trapped and I cut through a parking lot about two blocks from the station. The senior Volunteer Captain of the department's wife saw me do this and the next time I was at training the Captain and the Volunteer Chief called me into the office and let me know that this was not except able. Yes every department is different and yes things are stated here that complain about how these guys act. It is mainly the fact that there are departments out there that expect and require a more professional attitude from the Volunteers. Because I do not agree with how they acted do I respect them any less for what they do......NO I DO NOT. But we are all allowed to express our thoughts and views.

And the biggest issue that I have seen is that those few seconds of getting geared up can mean life or death if it is a actual burning building with people in it. Remember even the most routine call can lead to somebody being killed.

It's called "Federal Signal Federal Q" It's another siren and it gets people the hell outta the way that's what it does. Lol.

Basically a traditional Fire Engine siren.

+Spotsylvania County Fire And Rescue thanks I just keep thinking of the London bombings in the 2nd WW. and was wondering why it was on a fire truck ... got it now thanks ☺

Ah, lol. No problem, love to help! :)

I was just thinking the same thing. Volunteers or not, no one on my dept is going to go on an official run in shorts, tshirt, and ballcaps.

bunch of fucking hillbillies for sure...what a shame...

mortgagewizard40 That, sir, is discreditable conduct.

COOLMAN123698745 If they don't want to be criticized for poor response and unprofessional attitude then they should stop posting videos or up their game. Yes we are all in the same job but that means the public judge us all by what they see and this damages us all.

johnnie specht yeah, and none of them had any gear on as well. In my county when they get dispatched to an activated fire alarm they most of the time go in full gear. Plus what is the captain even wearing? Cargo shorts, and a T-shirt? No department shirt, or pants or anything?

2010

its the shift level its automatic but some of these guys like to down shift them u shouldnt cause its an automatic

PG is not a career based department...who lied to you

Yes, Clintion Volunteer Fire Department. That is Fire Station #25 in Prince George's County, Maryland.

Well said brother.

Eric Ross and that excuses them being professional? AFA or not, expect the fire and behave accordingly. As for dress and attitude, dress like a clown, behave like a clown and all people see is a circus.
