Thank you so much for showing the volunteers Coming and Responding to a Big call out. YES I Remember those Ford L-8 & 9000 cabs. We had two of them identical. Just Different was a jump bench seat behind the cab. One had a very easy to shift 5 speed. The other had a gear pattern, that would go in like butter, but and will say but, if you did not hit R.P.M. just in the right spot, it was a grinder. They were such great looking cabs. I like that this State or the County allows BLUE emergency Lighting. I think it's a big help to have a different color pattern on flashers. Especially the Rear of Rigs. The amber on the back of the rigs is nice, and gives a Different color to break up the red brake lights.
It's amazing how the use of coloured warning lights varies so much from State to State in the USA. These trucks all have red and blue lights facing in every direction, but in New York, only rear facing blue lights are acceptable.
Good thing there were newer regular vehicles parked out front cause I thought this was from 1980. I love that old guy his wife drops him off because he was at the bar drinking old milluwakee warm beers listening to willow Nelson and smokin a cigarette
Some of the older members didn't feel we needed crew cabs. Times are changing and we need it. We are currently specing a new Engine/Rescue that WILL be a crew cab :)
In rural areas, by the time they get called in, most grass fires are "one hell of a grass fire". They're also often tricky to put out, and very labor-intensive to fight because of the square footage/acreage involved. Maybe they didn't need all the equipment, but they probably need all the bodies.
Hope you guys are staying busy. March was crazy down here in Kansas and my department ran 20 calls with 17 being brush fires with 6 in one day. Recent rains have helped.
@@pvilleff33 We bought two new brush trucks last year and a new pumper/tanker a couple of years before that and of course the last couple of springs we had flooding..... So really no brush season. Was glad to put them to good use this year. So far at about 25 brush fires this year. Had a couple over the weekend. Glad other departments are getting to have fun as well!
@@joshburger1216 its always nice to get out and have a little fun! We're in the process of Specing a new Engine and Possible Rescue right now so may have some new Apparatus in the next few years!
@@OMGAPUPPY New trucks are always exciting. We've been very fortunate that our rural fire board has become a lot more progressive and has kept up our mill levy so we can continue to replace older trucks on a regular basis instead of just when something fails. In ten years we'll have gone from a fire department with old and outdated equipment to one with multiple new trucks, state of the art gear. We just got new air packs, grass fire gear and are replacing our bunker gear. Just got fitted for my new set yesterday.
I like how they have tried to have updated lighting on the older trucks I'm in the volunteer at some departments where we have some old rigs got to make do with what you have. Sad part is some big cities are even losing funding for their apparatuses and if they can't get new ones or get the ones they have repaired they have no choice but to find old Rigs and get them put into service somehow. Must be a small rual town. Definitely can't afford raidos or pagers they have the old air rade sirens nice. Don't get that much anymore. I used to live in a small rural town where they had the air raid siren then back in 1989 when I was about eight or nine years old they stopped using it. And they had a lot of old equipment all the way up into the early 00s then I guess when they legalize marijuana the fire department got millions of dollars of funding and they got brand new Fire Station built brand new fire department all together it went from volunteers only to having a full-time staff paid Department. Lol 😆 the way I see it if States all across America legalized it we would not have to worry about funding for law enforcement and fire departments we wouldn't even need the federal government anymore be like sorry guys will take care of our own stuff thanks .lol 😆 now the state I live just legalize marijuana too guess what the departments are getting better grants out here too. I'm all for it I mean I've never seen or heard of an OD call where you have a teenager dying on marijuana. Maybe choking on a bag of potato chips cuz they got really hungry.
Wow that station siren must be set on a long cycle. I wonder how many times it blows. The volunteer service I run with, the siren goes off 12 times for a fire or a vehicle accident. I wonder how many calls a year this station gets.
Awesome Video!! Great response team & 3T22! As for the 3T22, I'm not sure if it's just the video/echoes but it sounds like one of the solenoids isn't working properly. That would be the reason why it's sounding "Hi-Dual" instead of "Hi-Lo" like it should be. Also, is that siren still a noon whistle?
Iowa is a lovely state with very sensible people. It is time for the powers to be in this community to buy these volunteers some equipment that is not from a previous century. Corn 🌽 prices are up so I think you should be able to find the money.
As a past firefighter outside of trenton new jersey, the only question I am curious about is what is the reason and philosophy of all the apparatus being 2 man cabs? All I've ever worked on, or seen in this region I'm in, is the typical fire engine that seats 4 to 8. I mean why would a 2 person firetruck being chosen over a more typical piece that can carry an actual crew.
Some depts can only afford that. I fought fires for 6 years on a 2 man rig only because thats what we could afford as a volunteer dept. Fighting fires with 2 man rigs was no different then an 8ter(pa slang for rig)
@@talk-is-pitt I've hear that alot. But I still don't understand the math. You need a pump operator, and u need 2 guys on a handline. That equals 3. Lol
@@michaelpatanella I'm pretty sure they had help on the Pumpers because towns like that some of their firefighters have their gear in their pov and will drive straight to the scene. My Town had to have that many rigs because there were no hydrants and the nearest tanker company was already on a call when we needed them. I've seen two people operate a Pumper it's hard but it's been done
@@michaelpatanella that's not true at all. A few departments where I grew up at had 2 man crews. Plus, sense this looks like a volunteer department. They probably allow volunteers to respond to the scene in their POV's
Isn't there a regulation about beards in the fire service? I thought you weren't supposed to have a beard and the mustache is supposed to end at your mouth cheeks. Am I correct?
Basically if you don't shave, you can't wear an SCBA because the mask will not fit around the face properly. So if you shave you can wear one, if not then you can't go interior.
@@pvilleff33 - In my hometown of the Boscawen/Penacook area here in New Hampshire, All Fire Vehicle's including POV's are Red, White and Amber Light's, Blue Light's are Police Vehicle's and Green Light's are Security Vehicle's.

Because in some states firetrucks are allowed to use red and blue. Iowa and New Jersey are just two examples. Blue gives better visibility and people are more likely to react faster to it as well.
Hey don't knock it, new fire equipment can range in the thousands to even millions per truck, and as for the crew they'll train new recruits in time so until then experience outranks everyting
@@pvilleff33 love your videos . I'm a retired firefighter. Put in 38 years. It doesn't matter the age of the equipment if it works no need to get newer stuff. I love the old engines over any of the new stuff.
@@CassJCDJ123 no matter how ‘big’ a natural vegetation fire is, bunker gear isn’t the appropriate gear. Wild land gear is designed for those kind of fires. You shouldn’t need to get up close and personal with the fire. Dig a fire line, back burn or just go put it out but bunker gear just slows you down and will cause more heat stress on your body.

Can't say case closed if you never had a case to begin with. Small volunteer stations don't need to have a full crew in the trucks, because the rest can arrive in POVs. so 2 man crews are perfectly acceptable. also, it's a grass fire, don't need more than 2 on a rig for those anyway.
That station siren must be a 'thrill' for the people who live across the street.
Lol
Now we see where I won't move to
They can always move....... 😂
It's a Federal Thunderbolt. My town has one, they were very popular.
@@coreykanable8705 Not a Thunderbolt. This one is a 3T22
Those older trucks will run forever...this new stuff just sits in the shop
I love seeing the older fire trucks, imagine the stories they could tell about the firefighters who rode on them and their service to the community.
Yes
That department needa more funding
As long as the trucks and equipment are in decent condition, they can keep them for a long time.

@@pvilleff33 ok thats cool you rely on old fire trucks instead of new ones,
you have earned my respect
Sounds like the house siren could do with a tune up and a couple repairs or maybe it’s the way it sounds on the camera
The siren at 0:36 is the same one we have on our 1996 Heavy Recue
I love seeing old trucks still working
I wish we could get that kind of response from all of our Firefighters, that was a full crew!!
There’s always that one volunteer who can’t park straight
Lol always
Those trucks! I love them. They'll run forever!
You guys have some great Rigs! Let me guess when the Police Department gets new light bars you guys get new light bars;) Love Unit 561!
