Is this a "volunteer" or Paid On call Fire Department or is thi a full time staffed fire department and station? Where in Canada is this located? Give me a big city that and American from St. Paul, Minnesota might know please. Thanks for the video. nicely done. t would have been nice if the wind was not blowing. Thats life on earth some times.

@ahnbra The 2 stations in the City of Chatham are full time paid. There is one station in another town that is both full time and paid. The other 16 stations are volunteer. Chatham is half way between London and Windsor Ontario Canada. Windsor is right across the river from Detroit. So Chatham is an hour from Detroit. Ya the wind is a pain sometimes.

Is Unit 1-11 a Ferrara?

[SarniaFireBuff]

No, unit 1-11 is a full HME.

I thought this about chatham kent england...Why does everyone nick our place names???

[SarniaFireBuff]

i would assume this is because, most of the original settlers in the Province of Ontario, were from the UK. in there are communities named after British places. Chatham-Kent, London New Glasgow, Port Glasgow. Settlers from the UK i believe wanted to bring their heritage with them. weird, but i suppose thats the way it is.

Chatham-Kent Fire Stations 1 (Headquarters, Second St), 2 (Sandy St), & 3, (Intersection Of Dufferin & Wellington St, Wallaceburg) are all Full Time & Paid.

Thank you for providing the answers to my questions. A thought on hw to cheet the wind noise that might work. Get some cardboard to make a sheild around the mic on the side that the wind is blowing. It might lessen the wind noise and make a better sounding video. ahnbra

Ok I was just wondering because it resembles E12 at Newportville Fire Co which is a Ferrara. Rescue 12 however is a HME. I got alot of videos of those trucks up on my page.

Suck it up buttercup. Just deal with it. It's a done deal. Beside what would you do if you came to colonize a new land from England? Perhaps use the name of the place your from?.....Probably!

yup, i wank it... so what? fanny boy, and your name sounds like that of a poofter! haha
