WoW your fire stations would leave Australian fire station ashame.

LOVE YOU GUYS

6:14 what did one earthquake say to the other earthquake? It's your fault!

I understand the goal of increased venous return and decreased ICP, but doesn’t elevating the head also require higher cerebral perfusion pressures to perfuse the brain, as you are now fighting gravity significantly more to move blood towards the brain? It feels like a “robbing Peter to pay Paul” situation.

Former Paramedic. Your comment about being a woman and sometimes it's tough in your profession. I worked with many femakes and never once had an issue. My saying was, I don;t care if your male, female, white, black, chinese etc., if you can drag me out of a burning house, we are good.

Wausau Wisconsin?

wow this was really cool to watch

Amazing!

This is great, Wausau! Having fun on the job is so important!

Interesting to watch. This is wildly different from what we do here in Germany. Your average HLF engine arrives with an 8+1 crew config: Truckie (operates all the machinery on the engine and secures the site) Group lead Runner 2 man attack team, ready to go with SCBA on 2 hose team 2 water supply team. The hose team can later don SCBAs they pull from a compartment on the side of the truck. Pull out the tray, unlock and fold down the carriers, remove tiedowns and you can slip right in and go. They can either join the attack or stay behind as a safety standby in case the other team runs into trouble and needs rescuing. Depending on the fire you can choose between the quick attack line on a reel which is attached to the water tank and ready to be charged or set up a regular line, feed it from the tank and meanwhile establish a water supply from a hydrant. Due to shortages, though, regular engines also might get pulled into a first responder role for a medical case. Which always is cause for great surprise (and sometimes embarrassment) if someone has called an ambulance and suddenly there us a huge truck out there with a bunch of firefighters on board. But one single FF being first due and starting to work…almost unthinkable here. Hell, if a call is projected to last longer than 30 minutes, the VFD is put on standby and starts manning their fire stations to ensure coverage.

Not the hard work... As Captain of a team that runs incident command, two in the whole State of Illinois, we only take a back seat FEMA, I beg to differ... Check yourself before you wreck yourself. As a young guy my hazmat training began at 17yo in the military and continued on to now being over 40, stacks of certifications, countless hours of study and the responsibility for the safety of everyone on scene along with the general public, yeah, it's the "easy job"... Kick rocks with that noise, I was going to school when y'all had the Wiawega derailment and hazmat situation, that's what first sparked my interest, but you're probably too young to remember that, our team is deployable nation-wide and we also do go hands on for SAR, aided by K9's, technical rope rescues, evidence recovery, etc... but it's the easy job, ok.

Mutal aid, y'all don't call that MABAS?

Nice video Great exposure ❤

great job, my biggest fear as a blue collar tradesmen was always confined spaces due to the lack of training by a lot of people

What a gorgeous machine!

That kinda house thing is made of brick!! Our schools are also made of bricks

You can get hot inside these sealed suits in a hurry. How do these people avoid being sous vide alive when the weather is a heatwave with temperatures over 110 f? Edmonton Fire Rescue actually hooks up medical telemetry sensors to anyone who wears these suits to monitor for sudden onset hypothermia.

I would honestly watch this if it was an actual Netflix series, we need more.

Thanks for a glance into your busy world. Also, thanks for your service. 😂

I had a fantasy where the police chief came to wash a fire truck bc he lost by ten seconds to the fire chief in a stairclimb challenge.

I would watch this all day!

Hi. How. Are. You. Doing

Station looks great! You should get those BrinkAlert safety lights on those doors :)

I've always wondered what's inside a fire station so this is a really great video!

Wausa wisconsin?

I’d watch this

I like yalls dispatch tones

Are those Motorola apx radios intrinsically safe? Our local department got a separate set of apx 8000 radios just for the hazmat team

What a great video. very well explained and we got to see a lot of cool stuff. Wish more departments would do this

I only subscribed an hour or two ago and you guys uploaded a cool new video absolutely fantastic

This was actually funny. I saw many similarities to what I experienced in my department. Great to see the funny sense of humor of the Chief and Deputy Chief. Good job!

We need another episode this is gold!

Your production quality is amazing - truly. I've watched & shared multiple times. Thanks for sharing w/the world!

So what will this change include for the mental health of your staff? I really hope it’s not “swept under the rug”. Keep these men and women safe…. #unbuttonthestigma

Kwik Trip, also known as Heaven in Wisconsin!

I cracked up so my times watching this! Thank you for your service!

It's good to see people having a little fun on the job. Thanks for your service!

Hair on the squirrel meat. I feel your pain. I received a Xmas present of steaks with cow hair sprinkled all over -vacuum sealed inside. I didn’t want to hurt the person’s feelings and everyone was watching. It was the most difficult attempt at a genuine smile and, “Thank you so much! I can’t to eat them!“

So good! Love it!

Love it! Hilarious

Amazing!

Keep up the good work firefighters!👨‍🚒🔥🧯🚒🚨👩‍🚒 And paramedics!🚑

Did you build it big enough. Im in milwaukee where there eliminating companies and using 80 year old stations due to money.

Firefighters tied up on EMS runs? Sound like any small dept including mine. We operate on shitluck that everything will just “workout”. I love this video because it highlights the type of department most of us work out and why the training needs to cater towards that. I mean I just got off shift driving a ladder with my captain because we don’t have enough guys to have someone backseat, but we had three on our ambulance.

Is your Fire Department adopting new strategies like ACR to tackle Cardiac Arrest? Let us know what you think about it! It's been a great learning opportunity for us and we're happy to provide an even greater level of service to the Wausau community!

Staffing is going to become harder and harder and damn near impossible before we know it. We have an entitled generation coming up that doesn't want to do anything unless it's amusing to them and an older generation that's rapidly depleting EMS resources constantly. Basically the workload is increasing while the desire to do the job has plunged. The biggest movement in our society today is towards socialism, which is the economic version of "someone else will do it" and that mindset is present in all other aspects of life too.

Keep up the good fight!!
