Engine 1, Rescue 1, & Truck 1 - From Old Central

[brendan129]

Ya'll talk funny...

[DaveNF2G]

An electronic yelper on a big aerial is just wrong.

[WV11FC]

the sound like toys

[4106650464]

1:03 is that a power call or a different siren zaffdoc im curious

[jazzbutterworth]

@msartori99 Than don't watch it.

[birddog789]

i love the pre alert tone,

[jazzbutterworth]

What an awesome horn. Also, it looks like none of the trucks at that station had the q.

[liltruck050783]

8v92 in the ladder truck baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[TheUban123]

the air horns sound weird.

[firebird960]

so ladder i bet

[zaffdoc]

@firebird960 What?

[firebird960]

@zaffdoc slow sry

[zaffdoc]

@firebird960 Now I understand.

[skateboardrider100]

@zaffdoc what kind of siren is on the rescue truck

[nmtoc]

The sirens on the ladder truck and the last truck in this video sound like the high-pitched Federal electronics that were manufactured during the 1970s and 1980s. Where I live, the FD had four pumpers, one rescue unit, and one aerial platform truck with the same sirens.

[centex350z]

Brings back so many memories, or course this is even newer than what I remember. During my time, you would have seen the white ALF trucks coming out hot! Doc, does the city still own the old building? Would be a great place for a Shreveport Fire Museum!

[zaffdoc]

@centex350z See reply to Ballerinamax - just below here.

[cbj8fan]

yes love the fire poles awesome tones too

[Ballerinamax]

This station is closed in downtown Shreveport and a new station was build before I moved to Shreveport 4 yrs ago. It should be turned into a museum just like Dallas did at an old staion in downtown Dallas by fair park.

[zaffdoc]

@Ballerinamax An uninterested female state senator put a stop to all efforts to raise the necessary money to put it in compliance for a museum.

[legsbluetrain]

I caught one Shreveport truck responding while waiting for a train.I got it on video.

[aryowailangitoyo97]

@legsbluetrain : awesome!, well why not upload

[deyber3341]

thats a really nice station

[EliteCaptainGadget]

That siren tone at the end, the two's... they sound just like the ones on the old London Pump ladders, and some of the new ones too... I LOVE THOSE SIRENS!

[CDPDPatrolUnit]

Looks like between 1980 and 2000 is the time that the Federal Q was discarded and then came back to the newer rigs.

[zaffdoc]

Close, but the first Shreveport Fire apparatus to be bought without a Fed Q was in 1983. The Fed Q's came back in 1993 when the new color scheme changed to white over red.

[AroundSun]

it LOOKS and SOUNDS like a bunch of HESS fire trucks rolling out lol

[Chief176]

wow, kinda a tight fit for T-1. Big ol' fella

[colchesterfd328]

what truck is in the 4th bay?

[zaffdoc]

Read comment after ColumbusFire14

[marines13r]

I coulda sworn they dont alow poles anymore in stations. Too many injuries. If not im gonna have to talk to my chief why i am in the middle of bench pressing when our tones go off and practiclly fall down our very small metal stairs just to get to my gear and hop on the truck so i dont miss it lol

[zaffdoc]

He who walks through fire should hardly heed the smoke or a fire pole.

[marines13r]

If i didnt know better, id say your my chief. But who doesnt like poles????

The girls gotta strip some where :P

[kdub0911]

Not to many poles left were I work maybe 1 or 2. Thats awesome.

[rrobertsnot5150]

awesome video

[mgrvercetti]

my station has two poles and theres rescue72,ladder72,chief72,tank­er72, and an ambulance

[jlkintner767]

god damn i want a pole in our station...

[firebird960]

do these guys run any ems calls?

[zaffdoc]

All the time.

[The03031977]

you have the best response videos on youtube!! Not saying anything is wrong with SFD,but you have really put together nice vides.You should shoot PSA for the city.Come to New Orleans!!

[zaffdoc]

Thank you, I love New Orleans. I have several NOFD videos. Look them up under my Channel. I even have one on the NOLA streetcars.

[Thenews72]

I also know that somehthing my department had about installing a pole was that reports of firefighters coming down to fast and spraining some ankles. good work with the video. some nice shots.

[cadillacman028]

that brass slidepole is awsome!!

[twister31634]

great video

[oats75]

Wow truck one was draggin ass, well compared to engine and rescue 1 lol

[confranman]

Another great video zaffdoc

[narutofightindreamer]

I hope this beautiful old "Central Fire House" has been preserved somehow. Either as a "Fire Museum" or a Neighborhood Community Center. I wish it wouyld continue to stay in the fire service, but I know that's a wishful thoght and nothing more. As long as it doesn't get the wrecking ball or the abandonment crap. You know what I mean. Long live the ol "Downtown Central Firehouses"!! To heck with the Chiefs and City Officials who decided replace these "Historic Landmarks" with new stuff!!

[ColonelSamatoshi]

It's a crying shame modern firehouses seem to favor single story with no pole & a ugly exterior. :(

[SScorpio42113]

That's because they are not allowed to build older design houses with the poles due to NFPA (Maybe wrong). Had to do with FFs getting injured on the poles. Older houses are grandfathered in because it would be too much of a pain to get them all updated. It sucks, but then again what good is someone who cannot perform their duties?

[theone2225]

i think it depends on the insurance companies. I know our department's insurance company wont cover a fire pole. As well as other departments in the areas.

[nero2477]

Your right ours doent allow it either

[mathiastheok]

The big problem with trying to get our department to install poles is also trying to get them to install a ladder to get on the roof to use the pole : )

hemp hemp hemp hemp.... : )

[83mrl]

thats so damn funny. thanks for the laugh

[franktonfire]

duh, youre wrong retard!! every firehouse [and i stress this]NO FIREHOUSE IS COMPLETE WITHOUT A POLE AND A CLASSIC EXTIERIOR!!!!!

[THEFINALHAZARD]

Some departments can't AFFORD a pole cause you have to pay extra insurance for it.

[stevo03lw]

ure right it is a shame and idk about the legality ? because the city next to me just built a two story with a pole

[zaffdoc]

Old Shreveport Central Station was replaced with a new 2 story station and it has brass poles also.

[ColumbusFire14]

I seen there was 1 more Bay door, what other truck is housed there?

And I agree with "bbwlvrinpvd" about the video with the Dispatch in it, I love it.

[zaffdoc]

The door to the left was for a short bay and housed the cars for the Shift Commander and the North Division EMS Supervisor and in front of Engine 1 was the Chief of the First District. All the cars were out of quarters when the video was made.

[bbwlvrinpvd]

Great vid...loved how u did the dispatch wit it...wish were more of that type of vids...thanks for sharin

[LifesaversofFuture]

I just noticed these are two separate vids or just parts of other vids taken at the same location.

[Chief176]

That sounds like a Motorola Systems 9000 siren on that ladder

[nmtoc]

I have a Federal PA20A series 2E and a PA200. Both sirens sound exactly the same as the siren on the ladder truck.

[RDG484]

Sounds like a Powercall on the rescue.

[LifesaversofFuture]

I think the siren on the rescue is a Whelen WS-224/227A siren. Check on Zaffdoc's vid of EMS Supervisor and Medic 10 to a difficult medical emergency to compare the two.

[stupullen]

a fire station just aint the same without a brass pole!

[confranman]

Another great video!!

[laj27]

louisiana...

[Seakster123]

NICE job with cuting and pasteing the videos together makes it looks like a movie.

[ffplaza]

Very good vid.

[psp310]

wow things change alot

[hudie85]

boy how much things have changed since then training more harder the trucks more expensive and more bigger the turn out gears more safe then it once waz its a totally changed in the Fire departments around the Usa and even more since 9/11

[HotGirlDater475]

Excellent Video! That station has a fire pole.

[sethtriggs]

Yes, a firepole vid, and a dispatch tone and everything. GREAT video!

[Heyde1979]

wow they have a slide pole
