Troy Fire Prot. District Company 1 Responding to an Ambulance Call - Shorewood, IL

I have ALWAYS wondered what the hose is that detatches from the fire truck at 0:12?

[eje657west]

That's for the exhaust system.

@eje657west

Is it so when the fire truck is leaving the station, the exhaust doesn't go in the station?

[eje657west]

I don't know. Our tour guide was talking about how it works, but I couldn't hear because of other noises in the video. All of the vehicles are hybrid, so maybe the exhaust goes into a filter of some sort? IDK.

[eje657west]

Maybe I'll find out at the Grand Opening that will take place next week.

COOL! LUCKY! Have FUN!

[eje657west]

@eje657west And for when the truck is backing in someone is supposed to hook it to the truck's exhaust pipe. We have the same system in our firehouse.
