- While still at Whitney Avenue Station, which is quarters for New Haven Fire Department Engine 8 and Squad 1 (soon to be Rescue 1), we hear the 1800 tone test for the city. As soon as the tone test is complete, we hear the EMS tones go off, as Engine 8 gets a run for an EMS call at 42 Bishop Street for a welfare check. Welfare checks are usually made when an elderly or ill person is living alone, and someone who tries to contact them is unable to contact them. The person was checked on by the engine and was fine, so the engine returned within about 5 minutes. Engine 8 is a 1998 Pierce Quantum. Once the engine went out, I went for a walk around their brand new Rescue 1, which is a 2017 Seagrave Attacker with a walk-in body. Enjoy the view of the run and the Rescue, as well as the tone test and tones and the Q2B siren. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on November 11th, 2019.

That’s what I’m talking about keep making videos like this one great thanks 🙏
Music to my ears...lovely
Great Video...
Cool looking truck
I still live in New Haven and walk by this firehouse all the time
NHFD Sure has nice apparatus.
Yes they do and they currently have two new seagraves Engine 10 & Engine 15, Engine 4 which is also getting a seagrave but theirs had to be halted in production cause of Rona, New Haven has many pierces and one Kenworth, but they want to switch over to seagraves. They have 4 seagraves 2 are demos for E10 & E15, T2 & T4, and R1 are all seagraves the rest are Pierce, but T1 is a Sutphen.
@@connecticutfireemspdresponses nobody asked lmao
l like that firehouse too.
Whats the difference between Squad and Rescue in NH?
Where I'm from in upstate NY, all the city departments have red trucks and the volunteers have white or bright lime green. I imagine it has something to do with road conditions.
Cool
Nice Fire Truck .In my country Myanmar have Japanese Use Fire Truck Better than Chinese Fire Truck . Now we get the some update .
She’s stationed a block from my house!
Interesting to see a Pierce”Quantum” w/ non hydraulic steps. I wonder if those are still optional as they really standout and make the “ Quantum” so cool!!
That s because the fold down steps have issues in construction zones were K rail is used to make what are called cattle chutes. Steps don t have enough room to come down
WOW that's a nice seagrave marauder 2! I wonder if fdny rescue 1 had it how would it look? I know it does not meet the standards though
It's actually a Seagrave Attacker, not a Marauder 2.
@@FL92002 I was just about to say the same thing 😂
"Surprise run for Engine 8" Aren't they all surprises? That would really save lives and property if you knew in advance of the incident. 😜
I say "surprise run" because I was only planning on taking a video of the 1800 tone test. The run coming in at the same time was just a nice bonus.
Gotcha. I was being stupid, it was midnight.
PS Our rigs in Denver, CO are similar color.
Maybe next time they can use the book my fire service app?
That engine tho
What are the ID's of the 2nd Engine and the 2 rigs that look like medic (ambulance) units. You went buy the front door of the 2nd Engine so fast I can not tell what it said. Thanks.
ahnbra the two freightliner rigs in the back are HAZMAT units. The other Engine is a spare filling in for Squad 1
the white and gold is slick
ik its cool
Is Rescue 1 a replacement for Squad1
No Squad 1 is still in service, Engine 8 was originally Squad 2 but they only needed one squad so they kept Squad 1 and made Squad 2 Engine 8
Is that Rescue truck the same as a squad truck?
Why are the med units buried behind the fire units?
Blake Edwards one is a HAZMAT unit and the other is a spare squad. (Source New Haven FD website)
Spares
Volvo VNM/Bluebird vision headlights
Quantum pumper with out flip down steps
@Paul Matakovich I said the same, were they optional or just not available then??
So did NHFD just order an exact duplicate of FDNY Rescue 1?
Pretty much
I know you're being facetious but, no. For starters, New Haven's is a 27ft. Rescue1 (manufacturer; the same company builds PL Customs ambulances) walk-in box on a Seagrave Attacker chassis, whereas FDNY rescues are all 26ft. Ferrara walk-in boxes on their Ultra chassis. Sure, they look similar but I'm sure if you put either company on the other's rig there's be alot of head scratching and colorful language about the layout. After all, we're talking about a rectangle with a bunch of compartments built in it. How different can one builder's rectangle be than any others'? It's what's inside those compartments and how it's arranged to make the firefighter's job easier that makes every rig unique.
@@franklewis6943 I wasnt being facetious at all... I was asking because I happen to LOVE R1 and thought it was pretty awesome for a department to have a rig even close.
@@j.p.cedeno2917 In that case, check out Huntingtown (MD) VFD's Squad 6, Toms River (NJ) FCo's Rescue 2624, DeKalb County (GA) FD's Rescue 24, and North Charleston (SC) FD's Rescue 201--all Pierce Arrow XT walk-ins very similar to FDNY's old Res1cue. Or, if you're curious what one might've looked like had FDNY gone with KME rescues to match their new pumpers, Boston and Atlanta both run rescues similar to FDNY, or take a look at Friendship (PA) FCo's Res7cue. Ronks (PA) Fire Company and Ulster (NY) Fire District #5 both run Seagrave Attackers like New Haven's. And two of my personal favs, from Spartan ERV, are West Seneca (NY) Hose Co. 5's Res5cue and North Bellmore (NY) FD's Res3cue--love that super-short Gladiator 2-door cab. All are nice rigs, as are FDNY's Ferraras. Enjoy.
Did they just respond lights and sirens for a welfare check?
is this in CT?
Yes
@@FL92002 Nice im FFC in Burlington Ct
Right around the corner from where I grew up
White fire trucks no way. Red and black always.
How does anybody understand that crappy PA. Sound quality is worse than my local train station
At the PA thing, I both agree and disagree because while so quality is not the best because it’s really actually, you can understand it a little bit.
Sounds clearer in person. And you also hear it on your radio/pager and on the truck's radio. Now a days its sent via text as well to at least the truck, if not also to another hip mounted pager.
Plus, its usually the same people, so you get used to the voice and that dispatcher's speech nuances.
White fire engines? whats the world coming to.
New Haven has always had white apparatus
@@emt5330 They were red up until the start of WW2, during the blackouts of WW2, Chief Heinz had the apparatus painted white to make them more visible responding in the city. White at night was more visible during minimal lighting conditions. After WW2, they decided to keep the apparatus white.
Whatever is most visible in that community. Function before form.
Christ those engines are horrible looking
Good thing they still serve their purpose of putting out fires and responding to other emergencies, as opposed to just looking aesthetically pleasing.....
Nice rigs, but white.......yuck.........
