I'm the driver in the video and I have been driving these trucks for over 12 years. I am disappointed that you would say that I'm a new driver. My exit was text book for the truck. The pause on the pad is so we could make sure the door was closing. And, no, it's not the easiest swing to make. 128 Truck is in the last bay because that is the only bay that is long enough for the truck. We have not burned a building to the ground because we invest in better training and equipment.

@128firefighter My comment regarding the new driver status was mostly regarding the fact that the truck was brand new and barely in service which means that in the grand scheme of things the 'Driver" was not totally used to the apparatus. Dont be so offended.

Not much, its just that they put the largest truck in the last bay. Plus the driver was probably new. The ladder was only in service, at this point, a month I think.

@nhopper Why the hell would they do that?

They must be on drugs.

The next time they need help, no one should come to them.

@128firefighter No kidding about the door. I know for a fact that people in my area have made false 911 calls just to get the pumper out of the house so they can burglarize the place. In fact, just a few weeks ago, one of the stations around here was broken into an robbed while the pumper was on a call.

@drozak3207 I appreciate that you can see that not all firemen are wrong. Some are very proud of what they do and like to show it. Some should not be firemen, but you have that with everything in life. So what if my tagname is firefighter128? It's better than random letters. If you don't support us, fine. We'll still show up on Glenn street when we are needed. Please research more about fires and the dept before you comment. You have some bad info.

@128firefighter and your buddy who was stealing all the radios... the list goes on... maybe you are doing it for the right reason and if so good for you. But i see way to many clowns with as many stickers and decals they can fit on there car as possible. The one In ingram actually almost cause a head on collision when responding to a call once passing cars on ingram ave in the wrong lane.. RIDIC. But to the ones who are doing it to help... THANKS!

@128firefighter I mean your name on youtube is firefighter128 that says right there that omg I have to let everyone know i am a voulenteer firefighter.. I am sure your email has something to do with 128 also. I like when i get the thing in the mail to donate to you clowns...mean while how many gallons of water do you guys waste a year washing all your personal cars? Maybe you are in it for the right reason but 75% are not.. Russel and Tim.

@128firefighter you needed a ladder truck? tell me again how many times in the past 10 years of houses burning down we Needed a ladder truck....?

[drozak3207]

I have home owners insurance dumb ass unlike most of the cvfd

[128firefighter]

The Lincoln house was not lost and Greentree does not bring it's tower truck into Crafton. It don't fit. In order to meet ISO ratings, (the ones that affect your renter's insurance) we need an ladder truck. Once again, you failed your homework.

[drozak3207]

How about the house on Lincoln last year? And again how did you guys get your fire station built where it is? how many high rise building are in crafton that we needed a million dollar fire truck? If there is a fire that bad Green Tree comes usually before crafton and they have a nice ladder truck already.
