[zaffdoc]

@martintheman16 Probably, but I am not sure.

[martintheman16]

@zaffdoc I like Internationals, they are great in my eyes. What areas do you cover. I cover Illinois for now, mostly my area.

@martintheman16 Medic 13 is a remount of a old medic unit. They've got some newer 08 and 09 International Medics with a different paint scheme.

Another good one Doc. Hey that's an interesting Medic unit. It's a new truck with the old school paint job. Keep the ones of the Medic units coming Doc!

[zaffdoc]

Or where you asking about what the group does? There is a YouTube video about our group - Do a search for "Old TV Story About the Signal 51 Group" and it will pretty much tell you what our group does.

[MrJakemoffitt]

@zaffdoc but like what do yall do?

[zaffdoc]

@MrJakemoffitt Read my reply above and go to "Old TV Story about the Signal 51 Group". Cut this and paste it in the SEARCH box above  next to the You Tube icon. it will take you to a video about what we do.

@zaffdoc ok so i watched that video and, its a great thing yall do. but do yall actually respond like in fire trucks????????

[zaffdoc]

@MrJakemoffitt The chief at that time suggested that we do so, but it was stored at a remote fire station and it would have taken too long to retrive it. Anyway the motor blew up on it and it was too costly to repair. On 99% of the fires Signal 51 responds to we use now use our POVs with refresshments. In the past on major incidences we used the Salvation Army Disaster Canteen, but the SFD built us a trailer with a cooling fan, chairs and other stuff needed at a major incident.

Another great video from you - thanks for it! My paramedic-heart geantly wheeps for everyone, who ´s a firefighter or paramedic. They ´ve my full respect!

To see them, every day ready for action is a hard job, but they are necessarily important!

For my writing (a novel about american paramedics and firefighters) it is one scene-photo, an oneshot in my braincinema to describe the dayly work in a Fire-/Paramedic-Station. Authentic scene-writing is definitly important for my work.
