Notice the white car and white van... typical idiots that simply freeze when an emergency vehicle comes near them.... they could not back up some, or move aside and give more space for these massive trucks to get through.... ??!!
@Gleyen That's a typical response to a structure fire in a smaller town. If they only have 3-4 guys per truck, that's only 12-16 firefighters not counting the chief. My dept. sends 3 engines, 2 ladders, 1 heavy rescue, 1 medic and a chief on structure fires. If it's a working fire, they add an engine, ladder, medic and safety officer unless it's a small structure and the chief cancels them. (garage, trailer) When FF's get trapped you only have seconds to get them out, help has to be on scene.
@Gleyen to an automatic fire alarm and reported strucutre fires we always send 2 Engines, 1 Aerial, 1 Command and 1 Chief. In case of big emergencies that convoy is extended with one more Aerial, Tanker and/or Container truck (all of them from the main fire station), or we get supported by one or two companies from the Volunteer FD. But thatfor it doesn't has to burn the whole city ^^
the red trucks not only look better but the red serves another purpose. Red has a wavelength that is actually an irritant to the human eye. Green is a calming color. Red is better because it irritates the eye so much that you literally cannot help but look, its your body not you.
8 % of the male population have colour blindness and red is a colour they cannot see,yellow is not affected by this.Also yellow is 1.24 x better at being seen by peripheral vision than red.These are just some of the reasons a study found,I prefer red but yellow is safer...
@goog1967 not really..they did a study after the study you mentioned was preformed..they found that it actually isnt such a good idea to hvae yellow trucks, yes they are brighter, but people do not recgonize them as fire trucks easily..i know, you would think the lights and sirens would give it away..but in fact people do not recognize yellow trucks as much as they do the classic red
@mortonfiredept that depends on the region: In countries where about 50% of fire trucks are red and the other 50% are yellow (like e.g. Norway), people do easily realize that it is a fire truck or another emergency vehicle (I actually don't care if it is a Tanker or an Ambulance cause I have to pull over anyway); in Germany all fire trucks are a kind of lightred to red with white or yellow markings, and it can get difficult to see that at nighttime
@EnjoyFirefighting With LED lights, you'll see those way before you see the color of the trucks. I can see the reflections of the LED lights off of road signs in broad daylight.
@EnjoyFirefighting People still run into the backs of apparatus with the NFPA compliant reflective chevrons AND lights flashing. There's no color combination known to man that can overcome the power of stupid.
@RetSquid Thats my guess but with ours the Officers sit in the road with there yelp on and center wacker light on to allow the engines to leave the station without worrying about civis getting in the way
You guys, stop insulting the guy, the trucks are yellow because they are Airport Fire Trucks, not regular, so they are actually cooler and more special, you know. An, FYI, fire trucks can be red, orange and lime green. Duh.
@DanAugust32 According the my post leader it's because some company conducted a test, and found that this ugly (piss) yellow color is more noticeable.
I used to be on a fire department. We have 6 stations now in the city (4 back then) and it wasn't uncommon for all 4 stations to be at central station for training.
if you think this is much well the fire dept down the road from me caught on fire a couple of years ago it had the fire depts from the counties next door come to its aid one dept i dont know many trucks they had but the other had six in its garage plus about three more in the back

@flykcrusader10xxx I realize you are not trying to be a dick but that rig coming out of the far Left bay sorry I screwed that up is stationed about 5 miles from this station, sorry for not knowin my Left from my Right tonight. All sub station rigs were here for the Chiefs retirement party. So when something like this happens and all the rigs are at Central as 73bubbie they dumped the house, had all rigs been at their stations Engine 4 would have cleared the other rigs
@flykcrusader10xxx This is what you call dumping the house. I've said it time and time again. It's better to have to much and not need it, than to not have enough and really need it.. Get on the scene and if it's not much. Then you start putting units in service before they get to far out of there first due.

@flykcrusader10xxx the rig coming out of the bay at the far right would normally be the one first in on this call as the call was right around the corner from their station....
@roadwolf2 Its actually 6 bays, from left to right, bay 1 fire inspector, bay 2 squad, bay 3 ladder, bay 4 engine, bay 5 spare engine, and bay 6 capt. and chief...
@kirky316 Do they really have a "spare" engine for the off chance that the other breaks? And if so don't they need a spare ladder on the same principle?
@TopTap09 Yes we do have a spare engine it's a 1987 E-One Hurricane, as for the ladder if it should be out of service the Quint which is Engine 3 will take over Ladder duties if both of those rigs are out of service then the Tower in the next city over becomes first due to our city for calls..
@Clada1017 You're right, to someone who does not know better, it seems like a waste. It's not. Manpower is the key to fighting a fire. As far as a 2nd call, most run cards will include "move-ups". Coverage from a mutual aid company on stand-by in their station. It's still pretty cool to watch a barn empty.
@bonedeath11 You are a fucking scumbag for this comment. Us volunteers put our lifes on the line every time those tones go out and you make a joke about food?! you are a fucking disgrace to man kind. Please do everyone a favor and jump off a bridge and die. :D
The white minivan and white car at the intersection could have given a bit more room for the trucks to get by.
Idiots always gets me... when a siren and lights comes by, they just freeze and don't know what to do, it is easy: pull over, give way and leave more space... just get out of the way.
@adamxaiver yes, I do - they don't fit inside the mask, though - you either go without them inside or get a pair designed to clip into the mask - our chief buys us those, sometimes I use it, sometimes I don't
(in humidity or cold they can fog up before the mask does)
@manoray123456789 Lewiston always had yellow trucks. well, not always. they used to have red ones up until 1998. thats when they changed them to yellow. been that way since.
@AdmiralKakarot Actually the rigs have been this color since the early 70's when we recieved some new rigs from Ward LaFrance in this color scheme, and was told they provided the paint to do the rest of the fleet. Supposedly this color is better visible then the traditional Red.
@AdmiralKakarot oh yea thats right i remember now. was thinking of a different station. was thinking about the one in Auburn. but yea the yellow ones are more eye catching than the traditional red. gotta few out here. some of our local stations have white trucks while my station has the traditional red
The public Bit_h to much. When you get in trouble you want them there fast and being ever thing they got to help you, but when someone else is in trouble they set back and complain about there response to call.
you know this happened in my old niehborhood when a kid tried to cook french fries and ended up setting the stove on fire the station about 9 blocks away came with everything and some extras were there to i think from another station
@christian18075 not really....first truck the leave might get stuck somewhere, and the other trucks behind might get the chance the go around where the truck is stuck
@Clada1017 think of it this way... if it was your house that was on fire would you rather have one lonely first responder to show up or everything in the barn to roll..... just saying..
@mrfirewolf ...yeah but while ur rolling out the whole damn fire house for BS and then there is another incident now u are wasting time and what not.....by all means roll and engine and a tower and then call for additional if necessary ...plus they let barns roll anyways...thats usually a surround and drowned anyways
@Clada1017 well would you rather wait for units to respond if it is a structure or would it be nice just to have everything there at once? im gonna with not waiting
@Clada1017 Never mind the fact of having units COMING IN already, to back up the first rig. If you dont got another crew on scene besides the first, you cant go in. Simple as that. Why not have the manpower NOW instead of LATER. any firefighter would know this.
@TheRescue43 . yeah man i KNOW THIS...i AM A FIREFIGHTER!...i am just saying ...thats a lot to roll out. I am sure where they are at that is there SOP/SOG. o
@Clada1017 Never mind the fact of having units COMING IN already, to back up the first rig. If you dont got another crew on scene besides the first, you cant go in. Simple as that. Why not have the manpower NOW instead of LATER. any firefighter would know this.
@Clada1017 I'm on a Fire Dept, and our procedure is that we roll everything until we get a confirmation that we don't need to roll anything else. It's better to be safe and have what you need right away rather than need something and have to wait for it to get there.
because in Maine other departments could be anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes away which is valuable time during a structure fire. so in short term most departments roll everything so they have the resources on scene instead of coming.
@Clada1017 how is there such thing as "too much roll out"? It's ALWAYS better to send back trucks than to wait for them when the shit hits the fan....just sayin.
@Clada1017 wouldnt you think its better to have everything rolling then if its nothing you can return to the station but what if it is something u have enough man power and equipment on scene at the same time insted of waiting idk id rather have alot roll then not enough
@Clada1017 Too much to roll out without confirmation? Better safe than sorry... you respond as you're dispatched, not as you feel like. Our standard house fire (non-high-rise) initial dispatch (not including the 15 Chiefs that decide to head out) is 5 engines, 2 trucks, 1 rescue squad, and 1 EMS unit. On a 1st due box alarm, it's pretty normal for the whole house to clear.
@jrskate207 My county is the same way. Its always better to have them coming then to have to wait for them to get dispatched and respond when you realize you need em.
@Clada1017 well where i come from...even if we get a report of a possible structure..confirmed or uncomfirmed...we dont take it lightly....im just saying!
@Clada1017 ...what the hell are you talking about?? are you a real fire fighter?? if so then you dont reliaze any amount of man power is never to much. doesnt matter what the call is. and besides the fact if it is as type alarm then truck placement, seat assigments and everything can take place as training!
@chris07882 " are you a real fire fighter?? if so then you dont reliaze any amount of man power is never to much. doesnt matter what the call is"
I'm not a firefighter, which is good because apparently firefighters can't form proper sentences.
I would also point out that your philosophy is great, as long as you completely ignore the economic costs involved. Once you take costs into consideration , "no amount is too much" sounds absurd.

The white minivan and white car at the intersection could have given a bit more room for the trucks to get by.
Idiots always gets me... when a siren and lights comes by, they just freeze and don't know what to do, it is easy: pull over, give way and leave more space... just get out of the way.

@adamxaiver yes, I do - they don't fit inside the mask, though - you either go without them inside or get a pair designed to clip into the mask - our chief buys us those, sometimes I use it, sometimes I don't
(in humidity or cold they can fog up before the mask does)

@AdmiralKakarot Actually the rigs have been this color since the early 70's when we recieved some new rigs from Ward LaFrance in this color scheme, and was told they provided the paint to do the rest of the fleet. Supposedly this color is better visible then the traditional Red.

@AdmiralKakarot oh yea thats right i remember now. was thinking of a different station. was thinking about the one in Auburn. but yea the yellow ones are more eye catching than the traditional red. gotta few out here. some of our local stations have white trucks while my station has the traditional red

a little overkill much on the fire i think

most of the time they will just send 1 pumper and a ladder truck to the scene but since its a structure fire they will need the whole team

@kirky316 did u kno that 100 percent of the time the first truck to leave is the first one on scene?

christian18075 11 months ago
@christian18075 not really....first truck the leave might get stuck somewhere, and the other trucks behind might get the chance the go around where the truck is stuck
ownedya22 11 months ago
@ownedya22 yeah good point. ur sayin as if the first truck comes up to another incident right?
christian18075 10 months ago
@Clada1017 think of it this way... if it was your house that was on fire would you rather have one lonely first responder to show up or everything in the barn to roll..... just saying..
mrfirewolf 1 year ago
@mrfirewolf ...yeah but while ur rolling out the whole damn fire house for BS and then there is another incident now u are wasting time and what not.....by all means roll and engine and a tower and then call for additional if necessary ...plus they let barns roll anyways...thats usually a surround and drowned anyways
Clada1017 1 year ago
@Clada1017 well would you rather wait for units to respond if it is a structure or would it be nice just to have everything there at once? im gonna with not waiting
LFDFireFighter18 1 year ago
@Clada1017 Never mind the fact of having units COMING IN already, to back up the first rig. If you dont got another crew on scene besides the first, you cant go in. Simple as that. Why not have the manpower NOW instead of LATER. any firefighter would know this.

@Clada1017 I'm on a Fire Dept, and our procedure is that we roll everything until we get a confirmation that we don't need to roll anything else. It's better to be safe and have what you need right away rather than need something and have to wait for it to get there.

Here standard protocol for a fire is 4 engines, Battalion Chief, and a truck

@Clada1017
because in Maine other departments could be anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes away which is valuable time during a structure fire. so in short term most departments roll everything so they have the resources on scene instead of coming.

@Clada1017 how is there such thing as "too much roll out"? It's ALWAYS better to send back trucks than to wait for them when the shit hits the fan....just sayin.
RonaldReagan7 11 months ago 2
@Clada1017 wouldnt you think its better to have everything rolling then if its nothing you can return to the station but what if it is something u have enough man power and equipment on scene at the same time insted of waiting idk id rather have alot roll then not enough
LFDFireFighter18 10 months ago 2
@Clada1017 Too much to roll out without confirmation? Better safe than sorry... you respond as you're dispatched, not as you feel like. Our standard house fire (non-high-rise) initial dispatch (not including the 15 Chiefs that decide to head out) is 5 engines, 2 trucks, 1 rescue squad, and 1 EMS unit. On a 1st due box alarm, it's pretty normal for the whole house to clear.

@jrskate207 My county is the same way. Its always better to have them coming then to have to wait for them to get dispatched and respond when you realize you need em.

@Clada1017 well where i come from...even if we get a report of a possible structure..confirmed or uncomfirmed...we dont take it lightly....im just saying!

@Clada1017 ...what the hell are you talking about?? are you a real fire fighter?? if so then you dont reliaze any amount of man power is never to much. doesnt matter what the call is. and besides the fact if it is as type alarm then truck placement, seat assigments and everything can take place as training!

@chris07882 " are you a real fire fighter?? if so then you dont reliaze any amount of man power is never to much. doesnt matter what the call is"
I'm not a firefighter, which is good because apparently firefighters can't form proper sentences.
I would also point out that your philosophy is great, as long as you completely ignore the economic costs involved. Once you take costs into consideration , "no amount is too much" sounds absurd.

@adamruck The cost of what, an engine deployment vs. the cost of a house, or of a life?
