@@Stargazzer811 So instead of rolling the truck that has a sufficient amount of water to extinguish a vehicle fire AND a residual brush fire, and potentially carries extrication tools (it IS a collision after all), we're going to roll a truck with NO extrication tools and probably tops out at 200 gallons. Cool. Excellent job. If the brush truck at my department rolls first due to a crash, I don't want to be around because that probably means that the apocalypse has started. I hope they enjoyed hanging out with their thumbs up their asses til the engine got there.
@@Firebuff101 Given the engine was 2 seconds behind them I think they showed up at the same time. Also manpower support is a thing, maybe they took the brush truck for that? Not all departments have rescues or utility vehicles.
Possibly due to driver certification? The pickup is basically a standard vehicle. The engine is, basically, a Class B CDL-type vehicle. Plus engineers needs some math skills. A designated driver for the engine may not have shown up yet.
@@SpartacusColo Also possible. I know in my department you need Basic Pump Ops, EVOC Class 3 and a training session with someone who is already an engineer to become an engineer.
