I decided to count how many trucks you recorded responding, so here are the numbers. A total of 52 trucks responded.
Those 52 trucks included...
26 brush trucks
14 support vehicles (pickup trucks, battalion cheifs, command units, etc.)
6 engines
2 tanker trucks
3 dozer units
1 police car
Now this is dedication
I counted 51 unless you included the civilian vehicle following the CA-OES task force. It had lights but no markings.
Different departments/units that I noticed in order of appearance are: Marin County Fire Department (MRN E1563, E1560, E1566, E1565, E1564), South Santa Clara County Fire Department SCC E68), Santa Clara County Sheriff, MRN B1516, CalFire (CDF E1691), CalFire Santa Clara Unit (SCU E1663), CDF 1470, Milpitas Fire Department (MFD BC), CalFire Nevada-Yuba-Placer Unit (NEU E2383, E2362), CDF E1664, SCC E67, NEU 2364, CDF Dozer 1741, CDF U1731, CDF B2317, CDF E2372, Santa Clara County Fire Department (CNT U574), Morgan Hill Fire Department (MRG B1607), San Jose Fire Department(SJS E24, E624, E18, WT18 ), (CNT E373, E382, E374), SCC E368, (jet(s) heard at 7:51 possibly CDF S-2 Vikings out of Hollister. Could also be normal commercial traffic on approach to SJC since this is the area where they are stepped down and begin to follow highway 101 right to the airport), (CDF Dozer 1645, U1645, U1451, Dozer 1442(just the hauler), Fire Associates Santa Clara Valley fire support unit 3, (Helicopter heard at 8:41 possibly the CDF Huey from the Alma Helitack Base), (CDF U1477, E1665), CalFire Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit (LNU E1453), (CDF E1458, E1769), (SCC E69, WT68), Unknown Hayward unit, California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CA-OES E8235, E8232, E8233, E823, E8234), unknown CDF(?) unit, unknown Contra Costa County Fire Protection District utility truck.
Units listed as generic CDF didn't have any markings that I saw that assigned them to any specific unit(i.e. SCU, LNU, etc.) so they might not all be attributed correctly, though the specific unit number (i.e. E2372) is correct.
@@SantaCruzFilms Nah, I think @Posthumous c is more dedicated than me!
The amount of dedication. I could never 😂
Noice.
Everybody's gangster until the Dozer shows up
Lol
I envy all firefighters ! It doesn't matter what state you are from , fire department you work at , or what your title is as a firefighter ! I respect each and every one of you guys for busting your asses 24/7 just to keep us and our land safe ! Thank you for your service and keep going 100% !!!
0:00 Mercy sakes alive, good buddy, looks like we got ourselves a convoy.
Such brave individuals, running to the fire, or in this case, driving big ass trucks as fast as possible
Great video of the massive mutual aid response! Also for any who worked this fire if you were one of the many that were redirected to respond to a grass fire on Fisher Ave in Morgan Hill..THANK YOU! We are ALL very grateful for your hard work, there was honestly no telling what kind of damage that fire could have done if not stopped when it was! And a big shout out to the Santa Cruz crew who's truck broke down at fire at the fire on Fisher...try not to break your truck again lol. 😅
Rolling Code 3 in a Mack Semi....be still my heart!!
That was awesome. Chilling! Nice camera work as always.
Fancy seeing you here!
Going to fight a war of flame and smoke. Truly scary stuff. Their my hero's❤
@@jamesf6391 right lol next we will see OG
Thank you to all our members who put themselves in danger everyday for us 🇺🇸 🙏 ❤ 🙌 💕
Awesome you captured the cal oes engines that comprised of ofd, hayward fire, fremont fire, and alco fire. AWESOME!
Big fire....
I’ve never heard of any of those.......
@@hunterstudios29 I don't know who ofd is, but the Oakland Fire Department comes to mind. Hayward and Fremont are both Bay Area cities. ALCO is a common moniker for Alameda County.
What is OES?
@scottdd2 Here is the long version: the "California Governor's Office of Emergency Services." This is a very active and well run organization, likely the best in the country. However, before swelling up with pride, Californians, realize that necessity if the mother of invention, i.e. the agency gets more practice than almost any other agency of its type. About the only events it doesn't see is hurricanes and large, destructive tornadoes. Mud slides, wildland fires, earthquakes, flooding, riots, major structure fires, seaport fires, refinery accidents, broken pipelines (oil and gas) tsunami potential, windstorms, avalanches, major snowfall, heat waves, dam failures, and more I've probably forgotten are all on its list to prepare for.
Aussie here. Very impressed with the way numerous drivers pulled over quickly to clear the way for the fire trucks. It would have helped if they were traveling in tighter packets of responding units.
yeah but units are coming from everywhere
Yeah they have other counties come and other varies crews
It's the law in every US state that you have to yield to emergency vehicles. The manner in which you are required to do so varies a bit depending on the type of road and from state to state. But only the dumbest of our assholiest drivers won't try to (safely and predictably) get out of the way. After all, next time they could be on the way to save your own home...
Those cars might as well park where they are for a while.
At 8:15, he's like, my dozer is in the shop but I'm going anyways!!!
Lol! Maybe someone has one I can borrow lol.
Lol
What’s with all the sissy fire trucks? Let me guess, California is worried that actual tanker and big boy fire trucks might hurt libaTARD feelings...
@@LS-rw9yp you're a 🤡
He's a back up transport rig
5:28 that's the good stuff! Nice video!
Love the vids you make! Thank you for including road name / routes in you shots!
I do not live in California, but Cal Fire you're gods amongst me!
This video and your channel give a real feel for "it's that time of year again". Nice shot of the CAL OES Strike Team!
Amen brother amen
Nicholas Diehl I think they were responding to D76’s attackers fire bomb
744ťh
No CCC fire crews
OES has purchased quite a few Type 3 engines in the last several years. It used to be that all the OES engines were Type 1's. California has the best fire mutual aid system in the U.S.
Nice catch on that model 25 very few of those made
What model 25
@@Cmanjp427 1:40 that would be a model 25 only 3 of those are active
@@SimplyCali619 thats cool
Mack truck is like I'M TRYING TO BE FAST!
If this doesn’t make you emotional you’ve not had fire destroy everything you love
Most people run away when they hear fire our hero’s run to the flames
I expected nothing less from a CalFire Wildfire Response especially in the summer but 45+ units!?
This reminds me of the old "Burn Relays" we used to do from Socal to San Francisco! They were so much fun and raised money for the Alyssa Ann Rusch Burn Foundation. Good 'ol CDF days.
big thank you to all first responders thank yall for what you do 🇺🇸
I don’t think I ever saw tractor trailer fire trucks with lowboys and bulldozers
Whereabouts are you from though? I guess it’s pretty common there
Awesome shots. Love the lights at night!
Stay safe brothers and sisters firefighters, and much love to you all from sLOVEnia!
'Least we can still be proud of our fire fighters
The amount of trucks that went up is amazing. Mostly Internationals and fords but some rare trucks too.
I think its talking about fire trucks that you dont see a lot not the truck brand.
Lights and sirens on a semi? Oh how the tables have turned. Those semi drivers are the true kings of the road.
Great catch! Don't you just love the motorists who stop in the travel lane instead of pulling to their right and stopping?
Looks like Calfire to me CA has the best firefighters
Awesome! But I think that mack tractor with the lowboy needs a Fed Q on the front!
thats what i have been saying
Great catches as usual! :)
Excellent video, cool units!
The the first low siren sounded like my grandmas pug when it had a seizure.
"Drive like your pets live here"
My neighbors have a barking dog......thanks for the suggestion, I'll speed up.
Was going to say shut up pog then I saw blue cord.
Thought I heard a helo too. Doesn't look too windy for air ops.
NICE VID AWSOME LIKE ALWAYS AND U COULD SEE THE SMOKE IN THE AIR!!!
Gotta love those PA-640s on the newer workstars
I went to elementary school with someone whose dad’s a firefighter. He fights the California wildfires.
8:20 someone forgot their dozer!
It was probably already on scene and they were going to pick it up.
You would think he’d notice. “Wow, I’m having a really easy time going uphill today.”
They leave the dozer
"Chief, it was on there when I left the station, I swear..."
Phillip Rhodes chief:no go back you have to go up hill slow I told you
I'm surprised that people moved to the side the road at all.
Excellent camera work
Here I am sitting at 10 pm, tired and nearly ready for bed, and just the sound of a federal q makes me want tones and something to do 😅 I swear it's an addiction..
Looks like Marin sent four of their frontline type 3s... I think they only staff 5 or 6 under so that's impressive! I also never understand why San Jose doesn't own or staff any type 3 engines. Their crews run type 1 + type 6 cross staffed I believe, but considering how many veg fires they respond to I'm surprised they don't run any type 3s.
They have 7 at full staffing, most of them are cross staffed with type 1’s so far the type 6’s are only used by Tam fire crew I believe
San jose already has san clara county and cal fire with the type 3 engines. More would be better but i think in politcs thats how they look at it. Marin is a contract county with cal fire so when they’re engines go out, their stations get covered by other cal fire engines from the north
Great footage...
Great job as always.................
nice recordings bud 👍👏👌
great catch. has to be your best.
Nice video!
lowkey that power stroke sounded good 6:28
Nice to see Marin county in the video 😎
Nice catchin
Yup because rescue trucks are soooo rare
Wow that was a lot of equipment 👍👍
Marin county representing
Thats insane. In wisconsin that would be the departments serving 750,000 people including all 38 from Milwaukee.
As a small town volunteer Canadian firefighter living on the prairies i don’t know a whole lot about California never mind wildfire season. But where are all the trucks coming from? Are they all reserved for wildfires? Obviously the dozers make sense, (which is my all time new favourite firetruck) but I noticed the unit numbers were all very close (2364,2363....)
They come from all over California. There is a statewide mutual aid system that is awesome.
It seemed that several of the engines were in strike team formation. These were either strike teams that had been pre-positioned due to elevated fire risk in that area or they were immediate need strike teams requested from neighboring units.
Cal Fire ( California's wildfire protection agency) is made up of 21 geographical units. Units will send strike teams ( 5 engines of the same type) to other units to help out when they require additional help extinguishing wild fires.
Did anyone find E-47 in this vid??? Just wondering cuz it saved me house..
How?
Bruh I saw so many is u blind bruh??
@@KellyFox531 are you joking or just dumb?
@@KellyFox531 he is asking if anyone else saw engine 47, the Engine company that saved his house.
Abe Harrison Uh cause they put the fire out
keep the clip.s coming old fire buff likes too watch
The wind is really kicking up
What department was the first strike team?
Is this from all the wild fires of 2020? With all the lightning strikes and you guys are busy.👍😁😎
Looks like a good day for a brush fire.
You hear some things rumble down the roadway.. what is it? A bunch of unusual fire trucks
As always keep the vidoes coming appreciate you guys thanks as always excellent outstanding brilliant they deserve alot of credit tons of it let's honor and appreciate the paramedics and firemen who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks great job great team work and great and sweet catches as usual still going strong great team efforts are deeply appreciated thanks stay safe and warm out stay strong and healthy as well much love and respect and appreciation job well done you should be proud very impressed way to go appreciate you guys thanks !!! Joe
Nice vid
Is this the Soledad fire?
That's the most international fire apperatus I've ever seen
Everyday Heroes 🇺🇸👍
I like how some of the trucks say, "cal fire" "cal 911"
Nice. It took effort to do this video.
Update on 07/05 fire?
That was a cool fire though too bad that I let it get out of hand I ran right after it started
Where have all the type 3’s gone? Gone to fires every one, long long time ago…
1:55 does anyone know the make or model of that particular siren. I hear it on many socal emergency vehicles. I like the sound of it.
Touchmaster Delta siren
Nice work!!!
Thanks Craig! Love your work.
Are the brush trucks all the ones with the bunch of 6” hose on the back?
Must have been a pretty big fire
What is that horn at 1:39?
internationals for life i guess!!!!!
At 4:53 is E-67 pre-connect suppose to be in that position? Great catches btw
Looks like it was placed in that position intentionally. It must have been deployed off the truck when they got the call to this fire and didn't take the time to stow it normally. In other videos, you'll see pre-connects just draped over hooks on the back of trucks for rapid pickup so they can move to another location
For wildland response its common to have your hose hang out like that for wui. Wildland urban interface. Its a type 1 engine so they can’t access in rough terrain and off road like the type 3 engines so these guys are usually tasked to protect homes. To save time they can pull that hose off and deploy it and then rack it in that same horshoe load so they can go to the next house and protect it.
REDBOYlegend 12 ohhh I get it now thanks for the info
When was this Major wildfire, and where was it located, I noticed in the video there units from San Jose
Cal fire. The FD that fights wildfires
Nice vid. I go by that way all the time, that section does suck when you end up stuck behind a slow vehicle. Is the fire before where the 156 splits off?
Fire started on Crews Road and burned along Canada Road.
If y'all wondering what time the fire started... It started at 1:45 Sunday afternoon.. NEWS IS WRONG! I LIVE ON CREWS ROAD AND MEH PROPERTY BURNED BUT OH WELL MEH HOUSE SURVIVED!! ya anyways.... I evacuated at 1:50 and tHE nEWs sAyS iT sTArteD aT 2:45!?!?! nO! iT dID nOt.... Lol
@@Lauren-bq4eh since when is the news right, anyway? Asking for a friend ;)
I saw some major publications stating it first started around 11:30 a.m., I’m not
sure where that came from but to the best of my knowledge thats not correct.
I'm genuinely concerned about that empty Mack with the flatbed truck. Like what was that for?
Might be getting another dozer
go get em Cal Fire put those flames out!
Holy shit that a big ass department
These are multiple agencies responding lol
I HAVE 28 YEARS IN THE FIRE SERVICE
God Bless
3:51 there is awesome Porsche (the black car)
The last rigs, CAL OES's; which Department received/uses them? Also, the unmarked civilian SUV, I believe Toyota?
that is a big ahhh fire
There is in Phoenix Arizona?
Nope California
What’s so rare I see theses at every fire
Some of the engines, like the one at 1:40, are at their retirement point, and very few are left, making them rare.
@@ember_shep8181 three left to be exact and think they may be replaced this year
B2317 and others from NEU - Auburn responding.
Yea, they not only have to go south, they have to cross the whole width of the Central Valley and through a few metro areas. Way to go NYP!
great filming You captured the response the cal fire cavalry and there allies.Great job by all.
Off in the distance you can see the smoke.
OMG!!! road etiquette these people have road etiquette!!!! And they don't just know it they actually use it too!! Where I am from I am usually the only car to pull over for emergency vehicles and that's just for 1 emergency vehicle.
Hello I am a teacher from Bradford. I am creating an educational video for young people teaching them about the importance of our amazing emergency services and why they must be respected. Please could I use some of this footage with crediting of course?
Anyone notice that at 2:40 , lil white car nearly getting rear-ended by the semi he or she just stopped in front of ?
I can't wait to see the new fleet of electric fire trucks. I wonder how they're gonna charge 'em. Probably a diesel generator. lol
