    The sound of that engine brought me back 25 years, 74 Chevy, 427 Big Block, 4 spd split rear, with twin glass packs. That beast had melody climbing Bleeker Mt. Great memories, thanks Cody.

    One year ago today, the Granite Mountain Hotshots lost 19 firefighters while fighting a fire in Yarnell, Arizona. This tragedy is a solemn reminder of the very real risks our first responders face every single day. Yes, they signed up for it. Yes, it's their job. And yes, we need to keep in mind the dangers they face and pray that they all come home safely at the end of their shift. A heartfelt and sincere thank you each and every one of you who risk your lives to keep the rest of us safe~

    My brother used to volunteer for my hometown fire station. It was always interesting to watch the drills. I remember when he picked me up from school one time (huge age difference, he was the oldest and I'm the youngest of four) and he got called to a wildfire while we were on the way home. It scared me to see my brother rush into a bunch of burning trees. Thanks for sharing, Cody!

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Volunteer and Wildland FireFighters out there. A special breed indeed! I support my local volunteer firefighters every chance I get. Several years ago I got a less than 3min response. About the length of time it takes to kill a spider by your alarm system and walk to the back of the house... ahem! Really long embarrassing story that I'd like to forget!

    I too wish to become a volunteer Firefighter, but here in England, you have to be able to reach the firestation in 5 minutes from your home. For me to get there it takes over 5 minutes unless you go a little over the speed limit....

    Cody this video came up as next in the list even though it is 3 years old. I really enjoyed this one, of course all your videos are top notch and informative. I had no idea that there was a clamp that allowed you to add a section of hose without having to run all the way back twice to shut off and back on the valve. That is awesome man! I learn multiple things in every single video you post. :)

  • @waymontaylor1556
    @waymontaylor1556 Před 8 lety

    I absolutely love this video, the very first truck I ever trained on was a 78 GMC FMC . Hell was even red the second volunteer dept I joined had a yellow one. After looking at the comments I am reminded why after I became an instructor I made the recruits figure out how much water a 1 3/4 each section of hose held and then calculate its weight, after they usually made sure the hose was where it was needed before adding water

  • @floatsomboy
    @floatsomboy Před 10 lety

    Love using hose on the bite, real easy to get a hose out in a hurry. I spent 7 years as a volunteer in an urban brigade here in NZ and have been to a few small scrub/bush fires as we call them, hot, hard, thankless work some days. Loved every minute of my time.

    I realize I'm a bit late here but I somehow have never seen this video. One reason i watch your channel is your involvement in the fire service. I have volunteered since November of 2007 and I absolutely love every second of it.

  • @Humboldtfarms
    @Humboldtfarms Před 10 lety

    Cody, I think a way to cut down a little time is by keeping the nozel on the hose when when it's in the donut roll. All you would have to do is set up the valve to the engine. unroll the line, connect and go instead of having to connect the line then connecting the nozzle. Also, You always know where the nozzle is too instead of having to dig in the bag for it. Just a personal preference. If you have your own that you like and that's the way you're comfortable with it then by all means i respect that. Another thing. You might get a fire at night. I'm not sure if you do have a helmet light but if not i would advice to look at a few bright ones online. They come in great handy at night in the steep terrain. I bet you have plenty experience with that. haha! Have a great one, Cody! Keep up the great work.

    @erosendaul Před 10 lety

    Great video! I grew up in a family of volunteer firefighters. My grandfather was a chief for a few years, I have 2 uncles that are volunteers, and a cousin that is walking that path as well. I've always wanted to volunteer, but after college I've always lived in a city of professional firefighters. We're planning on moving to a larger piece of land in a much more rural area within the next few years. When we do, if there is a volunteer department, you can bet I'll be giving my time! Thanks for the video and all of your videos!

    I wish I could work with 1" hose! One major part of my career is to perform fireflows and pressure tests for Fire departments though hydrants and flanges. I always have to use and roll up 2", 3", and once in a while 4" firehose! Theres not much more tiring than rolling up hundreds of feet of hose. All firefighters have my respect. My job is hard and it doesnt require speed to save lives. What I do in 20 minutes needs to be done in minutes by you guys to save lives and property. Awesome vid Cody!

    Great video series. When I ran a local volunteer station for 8 years, we'd have our truck configured for the task at hand. Why do you not leave the why Y on during brush fire season? Next is your selection of supply line. You are using 1-1/2" double jacket from what I see. Why not use 1-3/4" to reduce your friction loss? Finally, you role you 1" single jacket forest fire line. I've not seen that before. Instead we used forestry bags with 300' of 1" single jacket forestry hose which included the clamps and fittings.

    Can we expect more videos of this fire engine? I'd really love it!

    I responded to a brush fire alone once, the chief had a Cow - "you cant respond alone you need at least two firefighters" he said. after calling three other stations and getting no response I responded and the landowner and myself put out the fire, I told the chief to deal with it - I wasn't going to let the county burn up. Where you are at you will probable respond alone a lot. Stay safe my friend.

    One thing, do not roll the hose forward into the fire or u burned ground, unless you want to loose the hose.. We also will throw out 2 hoses. For a 200 ft length, longer hose lay so we stop less. As for the in line Tees, we use Wyes personally, easier to use. Good video minus throwing the hose into the fire

    Very interesting and informative, I've lived in areas like Morton,Wa. where this type of firefighting is common. So I know how dangerous it can be with a full crew,I hope you get some help soon. Good Luck!

    Another great vid WS. How big is your initial response area, how many square miles? What type of apparatus does your other station have?
