all i want to say is thank you to all who do that job. Trucks are just a pile of metal, stations are just places without the people who take out the trucks and work at the stations so tyvm.
Haha, the Margreid fire brigade is one of the many brigades under our South Tyrolean regional central command.I'm in another one and I've driven past that station.
I would recommend to take a looks at some of the fire stations of Seattle; particularly station 10; what I like is how the garage opened; checks out one of the videos a youtuber by the name of Pierce fan
The CFD in my city currently invests 30 mil to tear down the old 47 bay station and rebuild it as 55 bay station ... and one of the companies from the VFD gets a new 3 or 4 bay station as well, and new apparatus are purchased every year
the station in my former home town had 47 truck bays but it got too small over the years. They currently built the new station with 55 truck bays. They have a manpower of at least 21 fire-fighters per shift and only run like 5 to 6calls in a 24 hour shift. They have sufficient time for maintenance work on the apparatus, practical training, workout, relax etc.
At least a "top ten" video which really goes around the whole world and not focusing onto like one country. One small aspect which would have been even better, to have actual station numbers and/or names, thus e.g. the one shown for the city of Cologne in Germany is only one out of several stations in the city
seriously? You are searching for my comments on other videos just in order to post "L" as answer, no matter what my comment was about, a positive or negative comment?! Ridicolous, but you fail (once again) to drive me crazy. I work for an EMS provider, ride the ALS and BLS Ambulances in shifts between 5 and 24 hours, do you really think that some stupid, childish comments drive me crazy? Let me guess, your answer will be "L" ...
looking at various fire apapratus etc magazines: in most of them another station or department is featured every month. Just few months ago I had a report on the 47 bay station in Regensburg city in the fire apparatus and equipment magazine...
there are many similar, modern and historic, architectural interesting stations around the world, and stations like station 82 or station 15 from the LAFD aren't extraordinary large ones, so IMO, although indeed being very nice ones, they are pretty much equal to hundres of similar stations
uhm actually we need only a station crew of 21 fire-fighters for more than 50 units housed at the station ... John Kindley In Germany we rather go for less large instead of many small stations; The response time isn't affected much.stead of numerous apparatus from several stations making their way through city traffic on their own and vehicles required to pull over numerous times, the apparatus respond as aconvoy and vehicles pull over only once. In my city (population of 200k inhabitants) the CFD runs only one station which covers all of the city area 1st-due. They are able to cover roughly 95% of the city area within a 6 minutes drive at an average speed of 40 mph in city traffic. The CFD in the state's capital city ( population of 1.7 million) has 10, temporarily 11, fire stations. In each one of the cities with a CFD there's a VFD with one or several stations. The VFD is only dispatched in order to support the CFD in larger scenarios, staff the CFD station for possible further calls or in case of multiple calls at the same time
have seen the Venice (italy) fire station? It's station that operates a fleat of fireboats in an historical building, what more do you need to be number 1???
Adam Dang it's Punta Cana airport idiot, two different places, 2 different airports. They get a lot of visitors almost every year that can era them that
My dads a fire man and he's worked for 20 years there and he has seen some fucked up shit. And most firemen have too. So I ask that when u see fire men you thank them for there service because it's not just sitting at the station and cooking and watching tv trust me
@@EnjoyFirefighting It's big, but i don't know the exact size neither how many vehicles there are, just search trento stazione dei vigili del fuoco via secondo da trento and you will find it, go see it via google maps
@@Enrico-be3tn Oh finally an answer, thank you. I looked it up, it has a moderate size but for me that's still far from big. There are stations from volunteer departments which have the same size here, but from career fire departments there are stations which are a multiple of the one in Trento. No hate, I'm sure the station in Trento fullfills the local needs somehow, but to be really honest it's far from big for my scale. Here's a video I made with all kinds of small, medium size, large and enormous fire stations where I've been at (also with the ones listed beneath): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LFT81VjfLB4.html Just look up stations like - München Feuerwache 4 - München Feuerwache 9 - Berufsfeuerwehr Regensburg - Hauptfeuerwache Augsburg - Gefahrenschutzzentrum Erfurt - Berliner Feuerwehr Feuerwache Charlottenburg-Nord - Bergen Hovedbrannstasjon - Hauptfeuerwache Linz
sure, you can as well place them in a pure concreete house and puzrchase the simpliest of fire apparatus with nothing looking good at all ... but when a place gives an architect the job to design a station, they won't choose the ugliest design, not the ugliest apparatus etc. Especially in the USA the apparatus are usually a prestige thing and so are the stations
Only the fire stations from Singapore, Russia and Puerto Rico are beautiful, but you forgot the most beautiful in world. That one of Rio de Janeiro: diariodorio.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/j-carlos-de-c.-silva-1.jpg caraibasfm.com.br/bd/imagem/post/bb40630ad6a451ab60f8584f36195a3d.jpg
the one from Norway is awesome as well, and there are hundreds of very nice stations out there which aren't named in the video; The one in my home town won't be the nicest, but for sure one of the largest stations counting at least 63 truck bays

@@florjanbrudar692 JK about the dummy part, when u graduate from the a academy the cheif of department assigns you to a station. For example a captain got traded from station 9, youmjust join and since they lack a person on A shift they put you at that station. So in simple sentence the department assigns u at a station you dont get to pick.
it's a nice large station but not really a very special one. There are numerous large stations across the country, with one of the largest being completed in a few years in the far south of the country
Some of the biggest wastes of taxpayer dollars I've ever seen are fire stations in the US. I'm a firefighter...but the waste is evident at some of them. There are NO other pubic service buildings quite like these MEGA fire stations. IF the same buildings were built for highway departments...the public would come unglued.
mega fire stations in the USA? There are hardly any of them?! Some of the biggest I know is e.g. station 6 in the city of College Station, and to be honest: it still seems tiny compared to the large stations in e.g. Germany, Austria, Poland etc. The largest station in my state is located in my home town and had until now "only" 47 truck bays and is currently upgraded to 55 truck bays. And it's far from being the biggest in the country
Just read FireHouse magazine and you'll see the display of very nice, very large stations in the annual fire station of they year article. They're big, they're expensive, and they're probably not necessary in many cases. It's hard to believe city managers fall for this expense at times. There is no doubt...some of this is excessive to house a few trucks and some firefighters on duty. FDNY Rescue 1 does a hell of a lot of work each year out of a very small station that barely fits the rig inside.
Actually I wrote an article on the station in my home town for the fire apparatus & equipment magazine already ... Thus the 47 bay station got too small to fit alla apapratus inside, and aprt from that, its old part was in a poor condition; But of course, tax payers money could also be invested in more important things like ... new street lights, a new golf course, ... it's nothing wrong with building a new station when its needed; Tey usually won't get a new one replacing this station within a few decades ...
Austin World that's not correct, there are Pierce apparatus also used in Iceland, Chile etc, and some other American fire apparatus manufacturers like E-ONE, HME, International etc are used at USAG bases in other countries as well, e.g. in Germany. Apart from that, your answer isn't related to Thomas' comment concerning the station in Sydney
Where is a firestation of engine 10 company and ladder 10 company nicknamed "ten house" from New-York ? It's a piece of shit ? It's a beautiful firestation and she have a place in this top
there are hundreds, rather thousands fire station with a great history or some kind of importance; We could as well argue with e.g. the CFD station in my city which is currently upgraded from 47 to 55 truck bays, other stations in Germany with several dozen bays more than that,other stations which just blend in in the area, other stations which have an extraordinary archtitectural aspect and rather stick out like a sore thumb in the area it's located in, stations combining fire, EMS, police, federal agencies, ...
