zhlédnutí 173Před 14 dny
Firefighters never know when they will need their emergency fire shelter. When deploying one, every second counts. As a last line of defense, knowledge and repetition is critical. It’s a skill that SVFD Firefighters practice before every wildfire season.

According to the National Interagency Fire Center, humans cause an average of 68% of fires, burning more than 2.8 million acres each year.

That's what I'm talking about BABY. Nice work SVFD
Good louck good jop❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome work, do you know if there is any department in the Seattle area that is doing this
Fantastic idea!
nasty Spokane firefighters. notice how nobody likes you guys?
these guys are bad at what they do. in 2023 they let a whole town burn down in eastern Washington. disgusting.
For having recently attended a Fire Ops 101 for elected officials earlier this month in Richland, I can definitely say- "not at this time, sir! But I will!"
Inspiring ✨
THANK YOU! 💙
Solid video
God bless
Whole different skill set than those of us in rural volunteer fire departments need! We rarely have ANY structure over 2 stories. MOST of our fires are acres large brush fires on VERY steep, wooded terrain. Half of the fire trucks in our county are Tankers. Our 'Firefighter Challenge' would probably entail setting up/filling/drafting out of drop tanks. Driving Tankers to nearest fire hydrant or lake - likely at least 4-6 miles away - filling that Tanker up as fast as possible. Driving it back and either setting up direct drafting to an Engine or filling the Drop Tank again. Oh yeah, and part of that Challenge would be figuring out how to man the pumps on each of the 9 Different Volunteer Departments Engines - ranging in age from 1980s models to 2021 model. (Hint: The OLD Engines make more sense!) Then add the challenge of trying to drive every Tanker - from the 1984 Stick Shift old Beast to the 2023 Shiny new one with too many touch screen buttons and hidden settings..... Another fun thing to throw in would be to have the firefighters LOOK up the route that GPS recommends and determine if the single lane bridges can handle the weight of certain Engines or Tankers as well as determine if the hills on that route are too steep for the Tankers and older Engines to make it up! (Nothing like your Engine struggling to get up a road at full throttle going 10mph while everyone in it is pretending to pedal like hamsters). Over half of our Volunteers would fail on trying to drive the Stick Shift Beast Tanker!!
Thanks for pointing out the difference. I too am a member of a rural volunteer fire department and I don't believe we have any structure we're responsible for over 2 stories. I watch these videos when I need a break from learning all I can about initial attack on wildland wildfires with an emphasis on the WUI (Wildland Urban Interface) component. A more appropriate 'Firefighter Challenge' for my department would be how to do a field repair on a brush truck pump that's going south when they're15 miles away from any sort of repair facility or parts and in the middle of a fast moving brush fire. It's also interesting you mention grades and bridges. I'm currently working with the county to create a list that includes all of that information for each of our trucks. Nothing like trying to get our Engine designed for conventional road surfaces up a mile of poorly maintained dirt road in the winter. Whole different world from the 'professional' urban firefighter one and filled with very different challenges from theirs. I don't know what the average age of your volunteers is but in my county, larger than the state of Connecticut, with sixteen fire districts there are a few departments where the average age is 65. That adds an interesting dimension to firefighter fitness. I'm a geezer myself. I've told more than a few people that when my town comes up with 25 to 30 young people willing to come to meetings, learn what they need to learn, and then show up for calls I'll step back and leave the department. Needless to say, I'm still a member. Best wishes to you and stay safe this summer, don't know where you're located but we are gearing up for a busy season.
niiiice <3 Unfortunately, I don't have simulated fitness tests, only gym exercises. But right after doing all the exercises, we have to go through the smoke chamber. All in full uniform, of course. I'm talking about volunteers, of course.
Good shit brother. Good shit!
Awesome!! Good On Em! Nice Job Chief! 🇨🇦👩🚒😊🙏
'Promo SM' 🙈
Insurance nightmare for the Ranger driver. No insurance adjuster is gonna want to pay out nearly $900,000.x for a Fire Truck.
I got to ask is the plan to replace the trailer of the apparatus or just replace the entire apparatus? I would think cost wise it would make more sense to go find a department with a totaled tractor and just buy the trailer.
Nice to hear the updates
Big difference between being a real firefighter and a "combat" athlete
Super impressive haus!!
My time is a slow 0335😢😅
Thank you.
Most people don’t realize how intense some firefighter tests/workouts are. It may look easy, but it isn’t. I know guys that spend 2+ hours in the gym “working out” and I’m thinking “I can literally almost work myself to death, or it feels like it, in less than 10 minutes.” The last 2 minutes of every test is the worst 2 minutes of your life. Then you recover for a few minutes and you’re happy again.
Very true, but I also encourage people to try out simulation workouts in your gym! I was surprised with things like the weighted stair climb. Definitely harder than it looked, but also maxed out at double the endurance needed in the test. It can be empowering to give it a shot.
Not to mention full turnout and SCBA make this another level of challenging
That’s also not mentioning the increased stress of breathing with a mask
No obstacle course? My best time is 3:45 but I've only run it a couple times. 3:12 is a solid effort, good job!
Dropped the high rise and the hammer lol otherwise killer job
Wonderful. 🤗
You shouldn't be using oxygen whilst smoking, really can't get my head round you saying such an irresponsible thing. You shouldn't even vape whilst on any medical oxygen.
My brother barley made it out alive. So horrible.
Firefighters? Nope. Arsonists.
Thank you for everything you do to help keep us safe.
Can someone send me these photos to use for a Rotary District fundraiser? Or attach in the comments?
Thanks for putting this up
Thanks for showing us these photos
Incredible footage, thanks for sharing
Wow, this video helps us understand the true danger and environment firefighters are working in! Thanks for posting the video!
Fires will start, riots will fallow, are you going to vote for Biden, again.
Thank you for all your work!! That really doesn't seem like enough gratitude!!
10% containment and 10.5 acres burnt! Thank you to all the First Responders and the good people of Washington State for all the support!
Predictive programming?
Fires will start, riots will soon fallow
The only problem with evacuation is that there is no one left to put out the spot fires and save homes
My uncle and cousin and friends stayed behind to protect homes at their lake while the firefighters left. They have saved numerous homes putting out spot firea and smoldering stumps
@@h2s142 That's what I would do.
Every year in Cleveland Ohio they have a Firefighters Memorial ride to honor those who have fallen. Every year I stand on the parade route with an American flag and a Thank You sign.This is why. God Bless you all!
I feel these people, I am saddened by this so much, sending prayers from England 🇬🇧 God bless you all in Spokane. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😱
Thank you! From Spokane.
Thank you! From ID but my brother lived there and barley made it out alive.
That's not a fire it's fires.
I wear my heart on my sleeves 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😭
Yeah, when fires first started in Spokane the plans came and got water from the Lake I posted on my CZcams channel
It looks like hot lava!
Thank you emergency responders and utility workers for your hard work and dedication. 🙏 Stay safe. ❤
Weird how all these places that are ruled by Dems are burning down hahahhaha
