Always interesting to see the amount of medical calls the fire engine is dispatched to. Here in Europe fire engine only runs as first responder if no ambulance is available.
it is usually because the engine often gets there before the ambulance, due to more engines and more fire stations in the city, and as more and more engines are ALS they can first respond to just about anything.
@@EpicGames28 In my country - Czech republic. If ambulance cant get to the scene quickly, police gets dispatched since they are trained as first responders.
When my family is watching one of those fire shows and asks me if it’s accurate again I’m going to refer them to this episode of “what firefighters actually do all day” this was really awesome! Guys! 😎😎
@@Physign I don't. No I don't. I actually have a real job, where I actually kinda work for a living. I don't sit around all day, and get paid with taxpayer money. I actually kinda earn my money
I lived in Eugene back in the early 70s. I remember so many times driving or walking by the Station on w7th. At that time housed a Mack tillered ladder truck. I thought how cool that would be. Starting 1981 I started a 30 year career w a Dept in So Cal. Was an Engineer for 20. Tillered many a ladder truck. Best job in the world. Good luck Eugene Springfield.
Good morning, Super nice video! I am a volunteer firefighter in France being French. I apologize but I use google translate. My biggest dream since I was little, is to be able to one day travel to you and in particular visit a barracks in your country and to see the operational resources in other countries. I wish you a good day/evening and take care of yourself during intervention ;)
Sending a fire truck for chest pains, abdo pain, and a dog bite just seems so crazy to me. At my service they come for unconscious, VSA, or MVC's but not typical medical calls.
4:30 that happened to my sister once in 2018(?), in fact, it happened twice! She had to get an ambulance for the first one, and shortly after that she had to use an ambulance again!
Hey Sebastien ! I’m 23 years old and stuck on trying to find a career. What I do know is I enjoy helping people and like something a little different everyday that keeps you busy. I was wondering what the requirements are to becoming a firefighter/emt ? Any information is greatly appreciated !
Go to your local fire station and ask for some guidance. They will get you pointed in the right direction. This is a great time to get into the fire service. Some departments will bring you on with no past experience and pay for your fire and emt cards. Most require fire 1 and 2 cards along with emt. Get with some of the local guys and they will tell you which academy to apply to. Most firefighters are glad to help someone just beginning their path
Great video!! But make sure that stair chair track ramp is locked before leaning the patient back. It clicked in place the first step so no harm no foul. Love the video and stuff you're doing!
Something I’m curious about is how you fit in time to take showers and stuff during the shift. You can’t just assume that you’ll have an hour of free time and then respond to a call when you’re in the shower 😂
Working as a firefighter, I’ve learned how to rinse, wash & rinse again super quick lol, I have a certain way I place my towel and clothes so if tones do drop I’m able to dry quick and throw my clothes on
is there a difference between firefighter paramedics and just normal firefighters? like they are both working together on most calls but for the medical ones they lead?
The paramedic firefighters have advanced care level certifications while the regular firefighters which are EMT/firefighters have basic level certifications so usually the paramedic firefighter takes the lead on medical calls.
They reroute it to another fire station if they are on a call. Dispatch usually has the information so they don’t call the rig that’s on a call they just reroute the fire call to another station.
@@shoto42 Interesting, here in Slovenia, the Russian shift is used -> work is done for 12 hours, then 24 hours of rest, followed by 12 hours of work at night, and then 48 hours of rest.
The engineer is the one who drives it, and you have to go through soecial training to become an engineer, also if you want to get promoted to lieutenant or captain in the future you first have to become an engineer(firetruck driver)
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi les pompiers américains envoient un camion d’incendie sur une urgence médicale alors qu’une ambulance avec 2 ou 3 pompiers dedans suffisent largement.

It depends. In Munich there is always an engine dispatched for certain medical calls.
I’m my district, an engine goes to every call unless there isn’t one available

Very passionate person who clearly loves what he does and put a very clear view of what goes on
Excellent video, super informative and great feature of the Department and firefighter! Well done showcasing a true day in the life- Manny!
LOLd at the mandatory birks in the gym 🤣This is an awesome DITL video you guys. Thanks for taking the time to film the process. Mad respect!
Absolutely beautiful station and rigs. Awesome content. I start my fire academy in August!
Really great video! Would love to see more of these
Great video, Thank you so much for sharing !
Just finished an EMT highschool program/competition thing and now I finally have a hint of understanding as to what these heroes do
Thank you for your service! 👨🚒

That's a great gym for a fire station I'm jealous ❤

Some of these pains could be a underlying factor for something very big
@@victorrangel8283exactly
It does but it all depends on if the FD has an ambulance.

It’s trippy seeing our Southern California Phenix helmets with face shields.
2:17 wow you guys have Stihl 500i chainsaws, we have some very old Stihl MS026, they work fine tho, but are very heavy.

Do FF/Medics for the ESFD do rotations on the ambulance?
yes
is there a difference between firefighter paramedics and just normal firefighters? like they are both working together on most calls but for the medical ones they lead?
The paramedic firefighters have advanced care level certifications while the regular firefighters which are EMT/firefighters have basic level certifications so usually the paramedic firefighter takes the lead on medical calls.
❤❤❤❤
One of the fire trucks has to be green and yellow. 🦆
I wanna see the insides like the jokes or the person giving the orders inside not the typical
What’s happens if you guys get a fire call while responding to medical calls? And they need that fire truck there
They reroute it to another fire station if they are on a call. Dispatch usually has the information so they don’t call the rig that’s on a call they just reroute the fire call to another station.
I had a Fiance that is a firefighter I'm so very proud of him
Сухих рукавов ребята. Привет из России
That was awesome, 13 calls in 24 hours is a lot. Is that a normal call volume for a shift?
That’s on the low side of average for E2.
@@mikecaven1709 That’s impressive, I’m in a EMT class right now. I hope I can get on somewhere that runs a lot of calls.
Bro! Please tell me, I'm from Russia and everything is bad with firefighter's clothes, do you have any familiar resellers who supply to Russia
Is this 15 minutes of you napping?
Does fighting a fire give cancer?
How long are firefigters shifts in USA?
24-48 hours, you could technically work more for overtime buts that’s the usual shifts that I’ve learned in research in hopes to be one here in the US

is there a designated driver for the truck or is it just anyone?

Love my hometown, I born in Da Nang,Vietnam 🇻🇳
I want to be a fire fighter I'm 33 no degree or expierence how do I get in?
Start in wildland ( type 6 or 3 crew) if you want to get in. Work on your emt as soon as you can and just meet all the guys.
Why would fire trucks want to report for medical emergencies?
Quick response, additional manpower for serious calls. A lot of places ambulances are tapped out or delayed so they maintain pt care.
adamm
Don’t that town have real paramedics?
Those are some god awful helmets you guys gotta get yourselves some actual FF helmets
Can we get his number he’s coo cute
911
So you don’t waste your time watching this………nothing happen
Sorry you’re sad and hate yourself.
