- We are walking laps around Walkersville Volunteer Rescue Company #Velocity #NonWalkInHDR!
This apparatus creates an outstanding workspace for their firefighters with an expansive crew cab and FOUR awnings. Their awning configuration provides the ability for extension in locations that would previously be hindered by only having one large awning. The Will-Burt Night Scan Light and Vertical Tower Mast will provide optimal visibility during nocturnal responses. A Lazy-Susan tool mount will store hydraulic tools for rapid deployment. Their local school mascot in #WalkersvilleMD is a lion and is included in their department’s graphics. #FDIC2024 #ChargingForward

Pierce sales rep sees a volunteer department coming, straight away pulls out the rotators.
lolololo. true. stoopid vollys
I can't wait to see a response video with all the lights on
Causing another twenty accidents besides the one they were responding to because oncoming traffic gets blinded.
🙄
I was at the plant when this was being built. I’ve never seen such excess in a fire truck. Even the paint on this thing was ultra premium with flecks of something special in it.
They must have raised a ton of money for this truck. I doubt a community would budget for such excess. I’m sure they worked really hard for it. It’s beautiful.
So in other words, a paint job that won't chip easily and is reflective for safety. Got it.
@@Gregwing yeah... sure, you can spin it that way but that wasn't the point of the paint, it's excess and money is no object for whoopies when it comes to their equipment. NYFD has used reflective strips that have worked for decades... no problems. They serve a town of 5,800 persons that is primarily farmland.... maybe they'll go to highway 15 but this is so excessive.
@@krisone63 They run mutual aid to Frederick city which is 15 mins away and has a population of 82,000. They also do run first due to 15.
The warm water decon and rinse was a fantastic idea. Nice job thinking outside the box.
Only fluff I would have added is two more Roto-Rays on the front of the truck. Anything with light and motion that can get a driver’s attention is a big help. Amazing how many people pull out in front of emergency vehicles every day. This is one nice toolbox.
Sure they do but it's regardless of how many whoopie lights you have on your vehicle, they'll pull out because they are not paying attention. So keep adding lights and they'll still pull out in front of you.
Thats our rescue!!!
Warm water for DECON?!?!?! Oh yeah, I'm loving this BEAST!!!!❤❤❤
What an outstanding rig, the best to the Fire Service and town for many years of service.
That's a gorgeous looking truck....love the color and design enhancements. I like Roto-Rays...so two excites me a lot. Can't wait to see all the lights turned up.
Glad the community supports this organization as all the excess on this truck that doesn't really have any functionality. Waiting to see the first truck with triple roto rays and double Q s with train horns
Mount Horeb in Wisconsin ran dual Q sirens on their rigs for years. There's gotta be close to an extra $20k in emergency lighting on the front of that rig alone. Standard NFPA lighting requirments work just fine. I used to sell Pierce apparatus, there is actually an option called the "Maryland Package" for emergency lighting on front to include Roto Rays, MARs lights, etc. it's ridiculous.
They must have an unlimited budget indeed!!
YES!
was looking forward to this one ever since I saw the first pic on Facebook!
Can't wait to see it in person soon!
That is absolutely outstanding!! Godspeed to all of those who serve as volunteer firefighters, rescue personnel🙏. Stay safe out there.
Amazing pierce velocity
Wonderful!!!
Cherry, good to see you are still hard at it. Ben a looong time since I was a member there. Great to see a big new Rescue24Squad. Glad to see rear steer on that beast, I was wondering where the Tiller would sit LOL. You all stay safe down there. God Bless...
Personally, I love the lights on it, but I think it needs more ITS NEEDS MORE
It would be cool to nap in the back of that truck. FDIC better check to make sure im not back there when the lights go out for the night!
Nice truck! Well thought out and laid out.
SWEET!!
Very nice rig I’m really impressed with it
Please make another video show casing all the lighting functionality and features please. And even a compare and contrast video to the truck that this one replaces!
Nice Rescue, United's going too be pretty jealous
I'll say!
Nice!
Beautiful truck, but I think this guy needs some oxygen!
Looks more like a Shuttle or RocketShip 😄 Awesome 😎
This is a very nice rig..........I wish the city of Newburgh had one of those
You live in the city if newburgh in Orange County?!?
@@mcfishfillet yeah
Reminds me of Wheaton Rescue Company #2 Old Spirit of 76 truck.
Exactly how much money was spent building this mobile piece of art,beautiful truck
that thing is awesome!
When you go into Pierce pulse and click every option! Kudos to them fitting them all in this rig.
I really hope this will be in Harrisburg 😉
Hands down the best Fire apparatus manufactured!!!
Homeboy has 3 pillow orthopnea and needs some BIPAP.
What we have here is an unlimited budget. That's a lot of bake sales.
That is a beautiful truck. I wonder how much that baby cost
Definitely well over 1 million.
I figured at least a million if not a little more. That truck is beautiful
Is that a train horn at the bottom of the bumper?
Yes!
Damn I Cant Believe They Got It Fixed That Fast Caz They Crashed It Just Before
I used to be a volunteer firefighter for Prince Georges county. I am a fan of the heavy rescue squad, but I am not a fan of the 300 gallon water that you carry on the rescue squad. I get it. Every department is different and every need is different different. When I was with PGFD. a truck company was a truck company a engine company was a engine company a heavy rescue company was a rescue company no cross breed equipment 😊😮
I was never a fan of a "wet squad". Now, iirc back in the 50's,60's, Cottage City had a Seagrave sedan style squad that was "wet". I was a member there 93 to 2000.👍🇺🇸
@@happycommentator6773 I was young when I join Station six and Prince Georges County. It’s funny now because my mother she did not want to sign the paperwork for me to be volunteer. I had to get my aunt to forage my mother’s name so I can join. I have no regrets love and respect Department 100% and miss it
Very impressive Rescue! Don’t care much for the color !
And now the question; for it's price will it last as much as a good old Mack??
Double Roto-Ray Baby.
Does it have dual Drones with multiple capabilities 😮
Well if you are gonna do two Roto-Rays, why not 6 of them? You could have one pointing up for the helicopters to see. You could have one in the rear, all amber to warn incoming traffic.
When you don’t have a budget!!! And nobody is checking!!
It's amazing what you can order when you do have a budget.
@@rolandmiller5456it’s a nice truck . With absolutely everything and extra. Just seems a bit much for taxpayers. But hopefully it will serve them well
@@JS-zb1vv How Much Money Is Your Life Worth?
@@jameshawk1877 all of the show stuff has nothing to do with life safety. Actually they could have brought more life safety equipment for a lot of the show stuff on this rig . This is a volunteer department. I think I would have opted for full time personnel instead of this truck honestly.
@@jameshawk1877 I think the biggest problem is they opted for a ton of cosmetic options that have nothing to do with the performance of the apparatus or its crew. Those options aren’t cheap and probably made this piece far more expensive than it needed to be.
Want To See A Video Of It Responding
you wont...it never gets out
@@nickw1861 How often does it respond?
How often would this truck actually be used to its full capability?
Probably most of the time
Is it in service yet?
Walkersville, Fredrick county Maryland is a very wealthy area
They can afford to hire professional firefighters then and stop using pretend ones.
Who makes those wheels?
Alcoa makes a black wheel, but I'm not sure if these are theirs.
Does anyone happen to have the specs for this truck?

Where would I find the drawing/layout of everything? I tried looking on the website for it but is unable to find it.
Hi @@grahamkent2122, stay tuned the new delivery posting will be published this week!
Thank you
You CAN have too much cow bell!
Why the heck would you need TWO Rotoray's?? One is annoying enough!
I think it needs 4 total, personally.
The rig looks good but your breathing is something to question
?😮😊
Dual rotorays. What a bunch of wackers
Not a fan of pump/water. Use a 70 gallon CAFS system, much smaller. The pump and hose took up an entire compartment
As long as they have room for what they need it doesn’t matter but say you need more storage for something else that would be better in some cases
Mmmm.
This was an amazing rescue until I found out that it has a pump.
Two Roto-Rays seems to be a substitute for Viagra. I have found one of these to be blinding to oncoming traffic especially when combined with headlight flashers. This will not be twice as effective at making the idiots on the road move over more often. They're all in their own universe.
Good luck, ladies and gentlemen!
Not a fan of the double rotoray, or that ugly replacement for mars lights... or the lion decals on the sides
are you a firefighter go visit a station and see what it realy menans
@@johancoetzee1225 My entire channel is based around visiting fire stations 💀
@@bm7151ok but why mone about a new truck with a new look?
@@johancoetzee1225 Just my opinion. Didn't mean to be complaining 😭
still better than whatever Rosenbauer's making lol
Spinning roto rays have to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen on the front of a fire apparatus. Especially in this day and age when we have so many better options to choose from.
That pump and tank is damn near useless and you could do all those things with an engine. This screams volunteer = all the budget goes to rigs since there’s no payroll
Yes walkersville is a volly squad
Massive waste of taxpayer resources.
I hope it fits in the firehouse
It should, this replaces an older Pierce Quantum they had.
