I used to belong to a station near Pittsburgh (no longer in service) that the siren was the only way I was alerted to a call as there weren’t enough plectron monitors or pagers to go around. Today’s tech (active 911 and Chief 360 apps) and MARCS/Tyler paging has made the station siren obsolete. Here in OH, we only use them for tornado warnings.
Little long for a Box response, my station usually dosen’t take longer then a minute to leave station for a house fire unless we don’t have a driver at station
There are different manpower requirements for different states (for example some states require NFPA 1710 & 1720 while other do not follow the guidelines) that require responding apparatus to have certain levels of staffing before responding, or if there isn't sufficient staffing responding at say the 5 minute mark, then dispatch adds the missing apparatus from the next alarm until the staffing minimums are met. I do not know if Penn Wynne Fire is volunteer, a combination dept or fully paid, but I'm guessing from the response it is at least a combination Fire Dept.
Good catch Max! I see the engine went with a crew of 1 for this run as well, unfortunate but what can ya do. I don't think I ever asked but, are you thinkin of volunteering with Penn Wynne someday?
@@MaxsFireVideography I know the feeling. I stopped doing response videos when I started volunteering. I'll be doing some periodically though. If and when you get on, see if the Chief's will permit you to put a go-pro in one of the rigs when you get a call to record the response. I know of a senior man at Willow Street Fire Company south of Lancaster who does that.
Looks like Penn Wynne is a suburb of Philadelphia. They fly the Canadian flag to honor one of their brothers, who perished while fighting a house fire on July 4, 2021. He had prepared to move back to his native Canada the following day.
Me too but that's not what the Canada flag is for, it is for firefighter DeMuynck who tragically passed away from Injuries he sustained from when he was fighting a house fire on July 4th 2021 and he was supposed to visit his family in Canada the following day
@@MaxsFireVideography Thanks for sharing such sobering and respectful news! May Firefighter DeMuynck's Family have solace and comfort in knowing that his brothers/sisters have not forgotten him and his sacrifice to the community! Brothers/sisters across our borders, I salute you!!! 😎🤝🇨🇦🇺🇲

Cool
My county still uses sirens and most everyone here also has a pager, radio and/or IAR app on their phone. When 1 doesn't work, the others will.
@Stargazzer811 cool
Absolute respect for Penn Wynne Fire Company for honouring fallen Firefighter DeMuynck with the flags!!! I salute you brothers!!!! 😎👏🇺🇲🇨🇦
Same

Yeah
Anything done in a hurry is done wrong.
@@owensweetland342 not if your going to a working house fire
I agree with hagerstownredline on that

I am watching from Elmira NY was it an actual fire?
Not sure, I'll have to ask the next time I'm there

Thanks, yep and Yes I was thinking of doing that but that might be a little difficult on my CZcams videos but when it happens I'll try my best

@@Stargazzer811 ill see
I wouldn't want to have my house on fire in that town
Same
It's a lot different with volunteer firefighters then especially during the day
Yep
It takes me a couple minutes just to get to the station on a good day...
@treesixtyeight yep
That alarm sounds like an evacuation alarm
Yeah I know
@@MaxsFireVideography do people sometimes mistake it for that?
Sorry coming from Rochester New York I thought it was Erie station
Its ok, everyone makes mistakes, including me
All that running. Could've saved those heart beats for something else.😅
Haha
I know about those Federal Signal outdoor warning sirens using for fire and warning alerts for the weather
Cool
@@MaxsFireVideography isn't it cool you can hear the siren Roar from the fire station on the video
@SHERIFFFERNANDO yep
Is the fire company in Erie .Do to I saw the Canada flag on the back of T-21 and E -21.
No the fire company is not in erie pa its in Wynnewood pa

How many times did they blow that thing??
Every time there is a call exept at night
I meant, in this video. Is there a standard number for fire calls?
@jasonferraro2948 i dunno
@@MaxsFireVideography, I can't speak for everybody, but my hometown had a 2 minute cycle
Why did it take them so long to get out the station?
Dunno
@@MaxsFireVideography Okay.
Good oL KME
Yep
Love the U.S. and Canadian flags celebrating July 4th Independence Day and July 1st Canada Day!
