@301whitehall Yes it is still in service. Originally a 1980 4 man open cap. was refurbed in 1996 to the 6 man in the video check us out Berkeley Springs Volunteer Fire Company. Berkeley Springs WV
O and P.S future ff2....We all do the same job like said before...The only difference is...you guys receive money and dont volunteer your time to do it....yes you do run ppl off the road...and another little difference...you guys where work uniforms...we were clothing that is comfortable to fight fires in
and yes, apparently it does make a difference that we're paid; we're called Professional Fire Fighters because we conduct ourselves professionally, and don't run everyone off the road every chance we get... i WILL say, though, that your department's Mack is a very nice Classic CF, and the dept. had a good plan in refurbing and keeping it instead of replacing it with today's junk, like our 2000 model E-ONE engine that i will agree is CRAP
@futureff2 understood, its not my dept, i just commented on the video, but ill agree its a very nice mack, it really doesnt make a difference if you get paid. we all do the same job... i know a bunch of fireman who dont get paid, but they act as professional fireman.
@andywittle, you don't have to quote WV state law to me, since i live (and work) in Kanawha County, home of the state capital and largest county in the state (although, nowhere near as glamorous as that might sound, i'll grant you) ; i'm very well aware that you are required to run a siren when responding with lights on. but here in Metro Charleston, Code 1 means NO LIGHTS or extreme urgency, which is WHY I QUOTED ORIGINALLY THAT WE RESPOND TO INVESTIGATIONS SUCH AS THESE "CODE 1."
unbelievable... like it says below, it's a CO alarm (carbon MONoxide, not CO2!), so come on, is all that noise necessary... thank God my department has the intelliegence to run an investigation such as this Code 1 - oh yeah, probably because we're paid and not attention-grabbers... carry on with your PowerCrap sirens and Grovers kids
@futureff2 because your paid?? how does that make a difference?? and is all that noise necessary? maybe your states a little behind the times but here if you activate warning lights, you must also active audible warning devices....... u sound a little jealous, you must ride on some hunk of junk, with a little electric siren, wishing u rode a Mack, with a Q and air horns
@andywittle just to let you know it might sound good but it dosnt look as good as williamsport's engine 21 and if you dont belive me just go to winchester and ask the judges for the apple blossem parade cause engine 21 took that mack out. PIERCE all the way
@badboy12firefighter hold on a sec. i never said pierce wasn't good, i prefer seagrave or pierce. but i was just saying that he rides an HME or something n wishes he could ride that mack in the video.
CO2 is a very poisonous gas and many many people die every day from CO2 poisoning. So Lets Just say it was your mother's house and she had CO2 concentrated in her house and then she died from CO2 poisoning because the fire department didn't respond code 3
