What's INSIDE a $200,000 Brush Rig 

Not to mention free of fake clickbait titles and pictures!!! When a channel starts doing that, I unsubscribe.

That's awesome to hear! We are glad you like them so much!

Email us some contacts and we will make it happen. Our email is watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com. If you contact the PIO or chief and let them know before us it’s goes much smoother. That’s definitely different from the brush gear we use!

Daniel, my guess would be you have different terrain and larger fires. Most places I have seen all across the US carry equipment for their specific needs. Why would the east coast be any different.

Thanks!

Thank you for watching

👍🏻🤣😂😜

Thanks for watching. You are awesome

Thanks for watching!

Our department has a type 3 and a type 6, the type 6 has one like this and the type 3 has two. We also have 3 outstation sand their main engines are also type 3’s with the same setup. Fairly common with wildland rigs here in Oregon

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks, that means a lot to us! Share the word so we can keep growing!

@@HeroesNextDoor Thanks to you for making this content

😂😂😂

Yes yes it was 🤣😂🤣

Yes! Hopefully at some point we can do a video with them!

@@HeroesNextDoor Okay thanks!

How hot did that get, and did they get heavy over time?

@@HeroesNextDoor oh yeah at the end of the shift you was glad to get out of them

Shoot us an email at watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com!

Yeah I can't believe that brush truck is $200k. Everything on this channel seems to be like double the price I'd expect, so I don't know if they are just making up the prices to impress us.

Maybe they’ll fix it for next one

Yes, please email us any contacts and we can see when we would come. Watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com

That’s a great idea! Thanks for bringing that to our attention, we really want everyone to be interested in these videos, not just those in the service

Sometimes attack can be a mini pumper... Terms to designate trucks can vary region to region.

We hope to soon!

That's a great idea! It's something we have talked about, what games and RU-vidrs should we watch?

@@HeroesNextDoor One of my personal favorite games I play is Firefighter Simulator the squad, you should definitely check it out

Come 2gether by ooyy

@@HeroesNextDoor thank you

The song is come 2gether by ooyy, we get all of our music from epidemic sounds

😉 when you just stand around not helping that’s what he gets 😜

You need to be certified to do backfires. They probably do not carry that forestry certification. Most places I seen do not carry pulaskis. They usually carry what works for their terrain. I have not seen a lot of anything else besides rakes and leaf blowers the last few years.

@@chazman4461 I understand -I just wish more departments had a better understanding of wildfire behavior , I started fighting wildfires as a teen in Washington state in the early 70s , wildfire training has advanced one thousand fold in both quality and especially availability. So frustrating to be doing a burnout behind the plow and look behind and see a local VFD brush rig putting out our burnout. As far as the Pulaski , I have never seen any terrain where there isn't some instance where it will have a use. And for sure bolt cutterS (large and small) should be easily available on a dedicated brush rig.

@slackjawedyoke1 my man said flares and I about lost my mind. I'm from out west (Colorado/Wyoming wildland and structure) and if I ever hear a recruit call the red sticks a flare..... it is not gonna be pretty. haha. F-U-S-E-E. And while we are at it, those are piss packs in that first compartment. And to keep consistent with your post, a pulaski is the VERY FIRST tool I grab in any wildland situation.

@@trumpetramman I attended a class in the early 90s that was a pilot class trying to cross train (at A basic level) wildland and structural firefighters (both career and volly) -sadly it died on the vine. While fuel weather and topography vary greatly from area to area , the basics are still the same , such a shame that you hear "wont work for us" as an excuse to ignore the very basics. And the Pulaski even had a spot on our structural engine.

Not everyone is comfortable on camera so little prompting is needed 😉. Everyone has always been really friendly and inviting

Email tag is going on with a couple of chiefs. What station are you at again?

@@HeroesNextDoor nescopeck township

Have not heard back yet

🤔

I think that depends on the terrain it's going over.

Hey how are you?

F550

@@HeroesNextDoor I didn't know that

No it's a Chevy Suburban Jkjk

@@momj8432 wrong its a ford f550

If you could you would be rich cause everyone would buy. However, trucks alone from factory are that much or more. We would come see yours if you build one !

I bet you could not do it with paying employees to do it. The price of a radio mobile unit itself has gone up ten fold in the last few years. Let along lighting packages, pumps, tanks, and so on. I would also think $200000 is the rough price of everything sitting there.

@ Chaz Man, first of all, for a Brush Truck, there is really no need to buy a brand spanking new F550, with all the bells and whistles on it. There is the first amount of $$ saved by purchasing a decent used F350 or Chevy 3500 or Dodge 3500 with either a Flat Bed, or decent Used Utility Body. More $$ saved. Gas or Diesel power is optional. A brand new 250 or 275 gallon IBC Tote could serve as the water tank and they can be purchased for around $150. A Honda Pump can be Purchased Brand New from Harbor Freight for a couple hundred bucks... Along with a hose reel, and couple hundred feet of 3/4 inch hose, and nozzle. Plumb it out with PVC Piping from Lowes. Instead of a fancy expensive LED Lighting Package, an older used old school lightbar with halogen rotators can be installed, along with some flashing lights from Tractor Supply, or most any decent auto parts store. Finish it off with a mechanical siren, and if using a Flatbed, maybe a couple tool boxes along each side for storage, and a few floodlights and small generator. You don't need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a fancy brush truck that's eventually gonna get messed up and scratched up in a field or brush fire. All you need is a truck with a tank, pump, hose reel or 2, a few hand tools, some emergency lights and a siren... All of which can be had used for what few calls it will be running each year in most rural volly depts.

This also includes the Kawasaki mule and the trailer

@@kevinswinyer3176 One other nice aspect of the older trucks is the no regen -but I agree with you on a basic type 6 brush truck - I vollyed for almost 40 years -worked both paid municipal and also worked as an engine boss on a contract type 6 and a 5 -on the contract side 4 door cabs were generally useless in many situations. Simple is best

We have worked on that but it helps cover the edits. I have continued to learn and adjust it so it’s not so obvious. Thanks for watching

They don’t get taxpayer money, they do fundraisers, donations, and get grant money. Usually if the fire stations get anything they will get a max of around $15k a year from the township, but most get nothing

@@HeroesNextDoor Has any of these guys heard of NFPA Compliant or having safety measure other than just throwing a non baffled water tank on a pickup truck and calling it a Safe to operate Fire truck. Not to mention possible over weight. That just keeps the Lawyers happy when someone gets hurt. And that just increases the cost of new trucks.

Shoot us an email at watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com so we can set that up!

I sent you an email then thanks a ton mike
