@truckie3200 They were 1st due truck company. The sign is where the 1st due Engine is housed. We have (3) stations in town. Hope this clears up most of your questions.
We have a text program that sends the calls to our phones. One of the crew left his phone on the dash and never cleared the text before exiting the Ladder
Um doe driving wit due regard ring a bell if its a fire it'll still be there when you get there. Drive with a sense of urgency but with regard to red lights and other traffic laws which still apply even with your lights on. Be safe
"Drive with a sense of urgency but with regard to red lights and other traffic laws which still apply even with your lights on."
in PA Fire apparatus may proceed through stop signs and traffic lights once the driver feels it is safe to do so without stopping. You are not in the truck to see the big picture like this driver is so you can not make that judgement fairly.
I agree with garf1eld you can do all the fire prevention in the world and accidents still happen. Although alot of fires in my book isn't a good thing, to some extent some can't be prevented. No matter how good or bad of a fire company you run with.
First, from a FF's view, you want to be at an active house so LOT and LOTs of fires. Secondly, we cannot prevent fires, we have fire prevention classes but that isn't going to stop random acts of stupidity, or accidents (leaks, shorts, etc).
Yo people chill out on the negitive comments. Not everybody is guna be pefect especially when it comes to a workin fire. Everybody makes mistakes. As long as you get the job done thats all that matters.
Thank You monday morning quarter backing. If you notice the one pulling the hose is not from that engine company as you can see he attempted to pull the whole load, but was not able to because of how it was packed. The 2nd guy told the 1st to just go and he would get the rest of the crosslay off. Team work...every hear of it?
1St ? : Do you know how to work as a team? We do & and we are happy the way we work together. Whether you are happy or not doens't matter to us. Should the Interior OIC(pulling last of the hose) be on the knob?
2)Because we "just because you don't have to stop at red lights doesn't mean its ok to drive through???" That is a moronic statement. It is ok to do it, but you are wrong for doing it???
Do you know our Dept. policy and how many stations we run? We have 3-engines, 2-trucks,1-rescue, & 1 MICU on the initial box assignment(3 Borough companies and 2 mutual aid). It was minimal smoke condition and if you watched part 2...there was a suply line (closer hydrant was behind from where video was shot from)and the supply line was quickly established by the next engine that was less than 1 minute after this first arriving one.
I SECOND THAT. THE Q BY ITSELF IS PERFECT WITH JUST A FEW BLASTS ON THE AIR HORNS TO GET THROUGH ANYTHING. The electronic siren makes a good backup in case the Q decides not to work.
Those red things you see dangling at every intersection.. those are red lights.. you are supposed to stop at those even in a big red ladder truck with a Q2 siren
Hmmmm.... 2 minutes of driving which is great....5+ minutes of a road and a hose , pretty boring

KJB322 4 years ago
would it have killed the guy from the suck comp. to pull the whole cross lay instead of just grapping the nozzle like a selfish pratt?
And just because you don't have to "stop" at red lights doesn't mean its ok to drive through them.
And you fail for having a green fire truck.
What are you, commies? ;)

Not be an ass but that cross lay would deploy a whole lot easier if it was packed as a shoulder load. And hey, how about taking a plug next time huh?

Or maybe I missed something, just found it odd.

The more I think about it, I suppose that is an sub-station or something.

You were correct the first time. Not the first this has happened. : ) Three seperate entities make up the PFD

Oh I know. Just surprising how they're a whole 1000 feet away or so, and you still beat them by a minute.
Not that it matters to me, I'm in Kimberton's first due area

PA law allows for emergency vehicles to proceed through red signals and stop signs, but after slowing down a s neccessary for safe operation.
