WFD Grass/Brush Fire

[Fire61Rescue]

Why was 5520 in Waseca?

[farmtruck551]

@Fire61Rescue the owner of CustomFire App. the company that also built Waseca's Engine 525 was in Waseca for a truck check-up. Instead of the owner having to find a ride to new richland (he flew his plane in) we took 5520 to him

that 2nd big tanker seemed to take a while to get up to speed and windy grass fires suck big time hey

[farmtruck551]

only one tanker and it all depends on the driver

[SLlandscape]

does that dept. not have any brush fire rigs

[farmtruck551]

we do have a brush truck but it parks in a different station

[fireAKems]

Usually people drive with lights but no siren. I see that it's just the opposite with this department! :)

[farmtruck551]

im guessing your talking about 511 (the surburban). it has strobe lights so its hard for the camera to pick up. if you look you can see the LED's in the back doors are on.

@fireAKems They did have lights. But with the sun glare & all, you really couldn't see them.

how much do the vollys get paid

[farmtruck551]

depends on the call... i really cant say, sorry. dept policy.

I sure bet that wind didnt help the grass fire any.  Good vid

[farmtruck551]
