@@normileguy6788 lmao nice bro i did acid at a arcade/hotel i wasn't staying there i just went there cause i live close and me and my friend tripped for a couple hours before we got kicked out for yelling at the workers and we ran through the parking lot like tweakers and found these kids in the back smoking weed so we smoked with them and we grabbed our longboards and went home and that night my cat had to be put down but i didn't let it get in my head until the next day
On my department (I live in New England, so we have really harsh winter's) we had an engine that was in service for 33 years. We still ran calls in it daily. Honestly I was sad to see it go.
We have a fleet of 70 trucks here in st. Louis. A majority of the front lines are 2000 smeal quints. They are just barely hanging on. As a fire mechanic it sure keeps me buissy
Most of the time it's just a preset pressure. Almost never do you actually have to do math. Most of the computations for specific hoses are already done, so all you have to do is know how much hose of a certain size is being used, and what nozzle, then just pump at the pre-determined pressure on the chart. Takes longer to explain it than it does to look it up.
I remember working in a meat department at a grocery store. The fire crew would come in and shop . Not in full “gear”, but you knew they were fucking ready to roll. So fucking cool!
alexander1485 ok well out here where I am I the nearest hydrant is 7 miles away. The all the local fire stations have tankers. Idk if you saw the part about 500 gal of water or not but I don’t think anyone claimed every single fire truck has a tank. Calm down on the “not every” No one said that.
some of them also use rear view cameras. while not necessary it makes your job a lot easier. we have two trailes with rear view cameras because some construction sites require one (they will literally send you back home if you dont have one)

@@xFirestormerX Ahh, I see what you're saying. My apologies, I interpreted that in a different way. I can see what you mean- let the expert explain and get some RU-vid time in to show it to his friends and family at the same time. Good point
Mike Wojnarowski , how incredibly stupid some people have become. I suspect that the Indian tanks aren't called Indian tanks anymore by the idiotic PC crowd too.
William Sampson, pretty shitty, pretty irrelevant and pretty wrong. That word doesn't pertain to the devil's language, nor does it even remotely reference anything resembling it. Male birds are referred to as cocks. Do we eliminate language because someone coincidentally uses words or letters to mean something vulgar or obscene? Do we abolish shittah and many other words that just happen to contain a sequence of letters used in other words that others may not like? It isn't obscene. They word gay means happy, but modern connotations have turned it to something else entirely, sometimes seen as inflammatory. The word niggard stems from the 14th century and has absolutely nothing to do with skin color, but try using it publicly today and see what happens. The word cockpit is a 16th century nautical term and has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with male anatomy or any other 'unsavory' definition. RU-vid's algorithm isn't protecting us from obscenity, the 'devil's language', or any other impropriety. It's attempting to alter the English language because someone is too ignorant to know what word definitions are. It's a group of idiots trying to reshape society in their own uneducated and misplaced vision. They're stupid assholes. Let them censor that.
I am a firefighter and coming from someone that knows most everything on a truck I am impressed on how much you knew. There are some people that know little to nothing. Big shout out to you for research👍🏻
You can see the Greek tankfire David. It is a Leopard-1A5 chariot, which has been converted by the staff of 304 PEB (Advanced Base Factory) in Velestino into a fire truck. The "DAVID" chariot - Greece has three at its disposal - is almost 8.5 meters long, has a tank capacity of 12.5 tons of water, while the "cannon" of water has a dropping range of 35 meters! 1) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dcG8aN8Yxmg.html 2) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5CApn6rkQs4.html 3) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5q0RHtApuJc.html TYFONAS-TYPHOON prototype fire extinguishing system (video) August 8, 2021 in Uncategorized categories, SOCIETY, TYFONAS-TYPHOON prototype fire extinguisher with high fire extinguishing capabilities at 500 Km / h) which is divided into categories which are distinguished by: 1.

Front end generally uses single tire. Becuase the weight of everything is on the rear axel, there's generally dual wheels so that if one fails there's a backup. If you have catastrophic tire failure, then it's call the mechanic and a heavy wrecker
THIS is a brand new 2020 Pierce Fire Truck and today i'm gonna show you the quirks and features of this fire truck, but first, dont forget to check autotrader.com on my thoughts on this fire engine
@@85square I guess it's possible right about now there's a bunch of novel technologies being jammed into cars. They're still more safe and fuel efficient through. It's hard to tell whether someone's just moronically nostalgic or making a real observation.
That is kind of to be expected. There is a not of technical knowledge that goes into the job. That being said, I did cringe at him saying the 5" supply line only pumps 250 GPM lol.
Excellen job going over the engine dude! A little detail but important is that SCBAs carry air at normal atmospheric mixtures not concentrated oxygen so that when in a fire they aren't carrying a giant explosive on their back. The oxygen tanks have green paint/label on them and have a different valve.
Lived in the dorms in seattle for a couple years, seeing the articulated fire trucks with the secondary driver at the far back was always super cool and always made me giddy excited like a little kid
@@cybersquire well probably most importantly that is not a fire truck, that is a fire engine. And very rarely do you have only 3 people on an engine. Also the engineer almost always stays with the engine. Oh and there is no way in hell that department is keeping that engine for 10-15 years. Maybe 5... Maybe... But yeah that's a couple things.
Christian Towse almost all civilians use engine and truck interchangeably, that's not gonna change. So many departments run with 3 on an engine. Many departments keep rigs for more than 10 years. We have 20 year old trucks and engines (we need more funding).
MidgetMan 420 nah, kissimmee Fire EMT here, most things are very expensive on the engine and rescues (Stryker stretchers cost 60-70k, lifepak 15 defibrillators are around 40k) but adapters are probably maybe $200 to be honest
@@PacificoAyala321 in comparison to a majority of everything else, yes very cheap. The married set of haligan and flathead axe was around $350 at the cheaper ends.
We do it all the time in my dept we wet it with the booster line “the rubber hose that was on the back” scrub it with car wash and use the same line to rinse it then dry
TYFYS Heroes. Lets all HIHFTY... lol. It made my eye twinge too when he was talking about the irons. Good tool/s for sure. Im grabbing the NY Hook when I get off the rig.
I work for the company that makes the nozzle you used at the end! As well as many of the other parts relating to water movement on truck. Im a machinist at Kochek LLC and we make Fire Equipment. Was super neat to see some of the stuff I make on daily im action
Also I’d like to add is rural areas most volunteer first responders are trained on how to use the pumps and drive as there just isn’t as many firefighters on duty to man all trucks if needed
true; Can't imagine how many departments roll out with under-staffed apparatus in the USA as there are only 1.1. million fire-fighters in the truely enormous country
@@EnjoyFirefighting that baffled me, we have over a million fire-fighters is Germany and only 30k of them are non volunteers for 80 million people. I would never in my life go without someone else into a burning building, we always have 6 people (Captain, Engineer, 2 Fighter and 2 hose men that switch with the fighters after 30min) on an engine and have room for 8. Although recently it got kind off awkward when 80 men arrived with 7 engines. Edit: ok hätte ich dir nicht sagen brauchen aber gut.
Being a firefighter, I have to give you props for really getting everything right and taking the time to get the terms correct and learning all about how everything works!
Woutr Nick in European places like Holland and Germany they have more room on their rigs and have more jobs so they have more personal per rig, we can have up to six in an engine but the most common amount of people is four, one engineer, one captain and two firefighters.
@@VexingRaven well it is complicated but there is a curtain procedure for getting off- attack team, water team etc. Anyways really cozy in the back thats for sure
he didnt. the lights just turn of slowly to prevent a power surge. its called load management. if you notice the switch lights on the ceiling turn off one by one. he hit the "master switch witch controls all the lights. one by one.
A little bit off, the driver never leaves the truck his sole purpose is to protect the truck and to pump water. If he left to hook up a hydrant he'd be putting everyone at risk
Colby Milnor that's incorrect. the words "never or always" often come before an untrue statement. there are times the driver will leave the apparatus. every department is different.
If possible a fire engine will have at least 5 firemen on it. 1 driver/engineer, 1 captain, 1 auxiliary firefighter (e.g. does hydrant hookups, helps pull hoses), 2 attack members (guys who are fully suited up with SCBA, operate the fire hoses, ready to enter the structure). In my department the driver also operates the pump controls. Captain sizes up the fire and forms a strategy, speaks to bystanders and gives orders, auxiliary is usually a junior firefighter who hooks the truck up to the hydrant, helps to pull hoses and does any other gofer work that the captain needs (e.g. move supplies, smash a window if ventilating using that method, etc). Attack guys if they're not already suited up with SCBA (breathing apparatus) will immediately suit up upon arrival. Everyone has their roles and the team should be ready to attack a fire in about 1 minute of arriving at a scene. Breathing apparatus usually have about 30 minutes of air. But you can only plan to be in the structure for about 15 minutes tops. Once the BA is halfway out of air, it's time to exit the structure and let a relief team in who will continue the attack if it's called for.
“Old school easy coast thing” is called a halligan. Its a firefighter’s best friend. And depending on if it’s volunteer or professional, the amount of people in the truck can change, most with a capacity of 10
TurtleSauceGaming Yes. Us on the west cost (Oregon) use our beloved Irons. And we have 5 seats on our main engine at my station so I don’t know where people are getting these numbers. That’s crazy to me.
I had a very close friend who is a firefighter and he gave us a tour of his Firehouse. That included the regular fire truck as well as the ladder truck that was really cool, my daughter couldn't stop smiling from ear-to-ear and she was made honorary firefighter of the day. There was a woman firefighter at the station and my daughter says she wants to be just like her when she grows up. I told Melody that she was a positive role model for girls for breaking into the boys club and I told my daughter that you can be anything you want as long as you put your mind to it and don't let no one tell you you can't do it. 😊😉🚒
I’ve been a VOLUNTEER fire fighter for about 15 years. Hands down, it’s the best and craziest thing I can ever imagine anyone doing. Love this video, that’s for paying tribute to fire fighters.I Love Donut and the crew. -Kory, Nova Scotia. Canada
In Australia, we have 4 per fire truck. Unless it is a light tanker (Toyota Landcruiser), then it's only 2.. And for us bush firefighters, our 1.4's carry 2 people as it is a single cab, and from 2.4-4.4, we try 3-4 ff's. And we don't have all this engineer/ff/captain mumbo-jumbo. Everyone on a truck is a firefighter.
I wouldn't say they do reviews since no negatives are brought up and they dont personally drive the cars they base the videos on. More like a educational video
I have so much respect for firefighters. Back when I delivered for Domino’s I did this massive order to my local fire station, and it was seriously SO COOL. The building was massive and made of brick, super clean and spacious, and there were medals and plaques on the walls along with all sort of firefighting paraphernalia. People were walking around with so much purpose. Everyone was completely jacked and looked like they could each single-handedly lift a firetruck with their bare hands. They were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, they laughed with each other and greeted people as they walked in like they were all best bros. It felt like a totally different world, one far better than the one the rest of us live in. The best part of all this is that I am not exaggerating even the slightest bit. (Except the part about lifting a firetruck, that’s a bit of hyperbole. But just a bit) The guy I delivered the pizza to joked that his coworkers would probably be disappointed that he wasn’t grilling steaks for his day to make everyone lunch. (Honestly, if I was a firefighter I’d expect to be eating grilled food each and every day) I don’t remember ever fantasizing about being a firefighter when I was a kid, but I can definitely see why so many people do: they’re so respectable, so heroic, and so awesome. They truly are the real heroes in our communities.
Since the the power goes to the rear wheels this means a fire engine can drift but I imagine tryna intial D a 40,000 pound water brick is harder than doing the same thing with a mini
Im from Oxnard, watching this from donut media makes me proud, also this station is not that far from my home. I know this video is from a year ago lol😂
Donut Media thank you for giving us firefighters a good mention. Seems like people forget about us time to time, especially being an volunteer FF I love every call I get with my brother. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all of you at Donut Media 🤙🏻💯
We're out of sight out of mind brother, people especially on the vollie side don't understand the juggling act volunteers have to do to meet our federal and State certification requirements and department call volume to be considered an active member but quite honestly I didn't join the fire service for thank yous and appreciation I joined it to help people in their darkest days and fight fire they know we're there we're just not talked about all the time if at all really the best way to so support for your local fire department if your unable to join is to go to your town meetings and vote
Ok, I must give some background I am from San Diego, CA and this is an interesting video that highlights firefighting as a profession. In my city, we on an engine we have a crew of 4 people and 4 on the truck as well. Most of the video was good like the air horn on the pump panel to notify for defensive operations, and the set of irons (an axe and halligan tool married together). But in Europe, they have 6 people on an engine and that would include an engineer, captain, attack section leader, attack section, water section leader, and water section. Overall the video was very good but missed a lot to the point I had to post this comment for my well-being and for educating the public thank you very much if you read this all.
across Europe there are many different tactics, even within a country there might be different approaches. You might see up to a crew of 9 on a German Engine, while there might be only a crew of 3 on a Norwegian Engine. At the same time some countries have seperate apparatus for exterior and interior attacks
