I'm a volunteer FF in western South Dakota, right in the middle of the Black Hills. It's very interesting to see what you east coast boys bring to a wildfire compared to us.
We have much bigger pumps on our rigs and have more storage for tools. As for tools fire rakes don't even dent our forest floor and a leaf blower would do literally nothing, we carry classic old-school tools like pulaski, mcleods, rouge hoes, combies, super p, and a few other newer designs. As for hose, we carry over 1000ft of hose on our type 6 and over 2000 ft on our type 3, this is because we cant drive to many places or they are up a steep mountain so a 1,000-3,000 ft hose lay is normal for us. We also use progressive packs and starter packs a lot. We also dont use UTVs for firefighting only rescue and command for us always varies since finding flat ground is sometimes a challenge depending on the fire.
If you ever find yourself in SD reach out to us, we would love to give you a tour of our two stations and 9 apparatus. Love that channel and the videos!
Email us some contacts and we will make it happen. Our email is watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com. If you contact the PIO or chief and let them know before us it’s goes much smoother. That’s definitely different from the brush gear we use!
Daniel, my guess would be you have different terrain and larger fires. Most places I have seen all across the US carry equipment for their specific needs. Why would the east coast be any different.
These videos make my week. Plain and simple.
Not to mention free of fake clickbait titles and pictures!!! When a channel starts doing that, I unsubscribe.
That's awesome to hear! We are glad you like them so much!
Awesome video!! Enjoying these stories. Great video work and B roll
Thanks!
I love the channel! It's great seeing how other companies do things. Appreciate the content.
Thank you for watching
Love the videos you make. We hit 50k! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching. You are awesome
Just about see 4wd shift lever in cab. Need solid anchor object for winch to be useful. No front wheel cover openings to reach in to turn front 4x4 hubs when going in or out of 4 wheel drive. "But Ford Super Duty trucks have auto hubs." They're the only auto hubs that can also be turned manually.
Poor poor Mr.Potatohead!!! Nice rig and set up, thanks for another great video!
👍🏻🤣😂😜
keep up the great content it is very entertaining
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!
I've seen turrets on airport firetrucks but am not sure I've seen them on a brush truck before.
Very cool rig. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Our department has a type 3 and a type 6, the type 6 has one like this and the type 3 has two. We also have 3 outstation sand their main engines are also type 3’s with the same setup. Fairly common with wildland rigs here in Oregon
You by Harrisburg next vid should be station cribs on Newburg-Hopewell Fire Department about 45 minutes away from Harrisburg
Hello from Australia Canberra ACT loving your content mate 🤠
Thanks for watching!
You should come to wiconisco pa and show off their tanker 23
@Heroes Next Door do you guys think you can do a series on station cribs and showing a vehicle for South Metro Fire Rescue?
They have a youtube channel called South Metro Fire Rescue PIO officers that run the channel is Eric and Conor.
Yes! Hopefully at some point we can do a video with them!
@@HeroesNextDoor Okay thanks!
Meanwhile in a parallel universe: What's inside the guy from heroes next door

The dept I am on we have a 2020 f550 like this on
hey you should come do some stations in jefferson county wv lots of intresting rigs and not far from pa

This guy should have a LOT more subs
Thanks, that means a lot to us! Share the word so we can keep growing!
@@HeroesNextDoor Thanks to you for making this content
I like your videos and I wanna say that you visited our town we have a ton of fire history in our town and our fire house has some interesting things

3:58 Was that a Tim The Tool Man reference?
Yes yes it was 🤣😂🤣
I used to wear chaps when clearing fire breaks for the forestry service
How hot did that get, and did they get heavy over time?
@@HeroesNextDoor oh yeah at the end of the shift you was glad to get out of them
Have you ever thought about doing a station cribs episode in Arkansas?
Yes, please email us any contacts and we can see when we would come. Watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com
Wow, $200k for a brush truck. My town has an ‘80 GMC which they bought new. I did have a chance to buy it but didn’t have the space to store it. Would’ve been a cool thing to drive to work on a nice summer day lol.
Yeah I can't believe that brush truck is $200k. Everything on this channel seems to be like double the price I'd expect, so I don't know if they are just making up the prices to impress us.
they need to replace that utv with a can-am defender 6x6 if they want to be professional
Do a video of what’s inside a tanker
6:40 I'm not an engineer, but wouldn't it make more sense to have the pipe and nozzle behind the push guard/winch to keep it safe from accidents or if you need to push something? Sweet ride though!
Maybe they’ll fix it for next one
Hello Hero's Next Door, Would it be possible to link your music you use in the description of your videos?
The song is come 2gether by ooyy, we get all of our music from epidemic sounds
4:00
"We got a bunch of hoes here"
😂🤣
just wait for HND-33, pierce quantum chassis with spartan parts
Mr Potato Head had a bad day! LOL!
😉 when you just stand around not helping that’s what he gets 😜
I think it would be nice for viewers not in the industry, to take a few seconds at the start and describe what the equipment is for - I didn't know that "Attack" meant a brush/rough-terrain unit, for example. And from another video, you kept talking about "heavy" ambulances but never explained the term. Regardless, these are interesting videos, thanks for making them.
That’s a great idea! Thanks for bringing that to our attention, we really want everyone to be interested in these videos, not just those in the service
Sometimes attack can be a mini pumper... Terms to designate trucks can vary region to region.
Trailer on the UTV could even further expand the mobile capabilities
👍🏻
Can someone tell me the name of the song in the background also awesome video hnd
Come 2gether by ooyy
@@HeroesNextDoor thank you
You should come out west
We hope to soon!
You should review games also and review how realistic they are also nice video
That's a great idea! It's something we have talked about, what games and CZcamsrs should we watch?
@@HeroesNextDoor One of my personal favorite games I play is Firefighter Simulator the squad, you should definitely check it out
I still think that Australia's Bush Fire Vehicles are better. But good video.
You should go to a airport fire department and do videos on their rigs & equipment. The Oshkosh trucks are really cool to see in person, I get to see them all the time since I work at a airport.
interesting no drip torches -- also didnt see any pulaskis unless he was including them in the "axe group" -also IMHO if you are carrying an 1-1/2" -1-3/4" -it should be pre connected as a engine defense line ----- and one other thing I noticed -no bolt cutters
You need to be certified to do backfires. They probably do not carry that forestry certification. Most places I seen do not carry pulaskis. They usually carry what works for their terrain. I have not seen a lot of anything else besides rakes and leaf blowers the last few years.
@@chazman4461 I understand -I just wish more departments had a better understanding of wildfire behavior , I started fighting wildfires as a teen in Washington state in the early 70s , wildfire training has advanced one thousand fold in both quality and especially availability. So frustrating to be doing a burnout behind the plow and look behind and see a local VFD brush rig putting out our burnout. As far as the Pulaski , I have never seen any terrain where there isn't some instance where it will have a use. And for sure bolt cutterS (large and small) should be easily available on a dedicated brush rig.
@slackjawedyoke1 my man said flares and I about lost my mind. I'm from out west (Colorado/Wyoming wildland and structure) and if I ever hear a recruit call the red sticks a flare..... it is not gonna be pretty. haha. F-U-S-E-E. And while we are at it, those are piss packs in that first compartment. And to keep consistent with your post, a pulaski is the VERY FIRST tool I grab in any wildland situation.
@@trumpetramman I attended a class in the early 90s that was a pilot class trying to cross train (at A basic level) wildland and structural firefighters (both career and volly) -sadly it died on the vine. While fuel weather and topography vary greatly from area to area , the basics are still the same , such a shame that you hear "wont work for us" as an excuse to ignore the very basics. And the Pulaski even had a spot on our structural engine.
You can also use chaps while playing cowboys and Indians too !!!! LOL

Do station 21 Oxford PA
Did you get ahold of the fire chief
Email tag is going on with a couple of chiefs. What station are you at again?

Shane, won't you need weapons on your attack vehicle to launch attacks?
🤔
These videos are awesome, I just don’t know who is interviewing who at times
Not everyone is comfortable on camera so little prompting is needed 😉. Everyone has always been really friendly and inviting
get a backpack blower faster more wind and less strain on the back
Should the brush truck have single rear wheel for better traction off road, dual wheels off road not so good.
I think that depends on the terrain it's going over.
Is that a ford F-350 dually
F550
@@HeroesNextDoor I didn't know that
No it's a Chevy Suburban

I just can't understand how these Fire Apparatus Manufacturers can justify a price tag of $200,000 for a Glorified Pickup Truck.... All any Dept really needs is a 4 Wheel Drive Truck with a few hundred gallons of water, maybe a few gallons of foam, a pump, some hose, a few hand tools, red/blue lights, a siren and a 2 way radio... How does this all add up to $200,000 ? I bet I could build a fully functionable Brush Truck for about $50,000.
If you could you would be rich cause everyone would buy. However, trucks alone from factory are that much or more. We would come see yours if you build one !
I bet you could not do it with paying employees to do it. The price of a radio mobile unit itself has gone up ten fold in the last few years. Let along lighting packages, pumps, tanks, and so on. I would also think $200000 is the rough price of everything sitting there.
@ Chaz Man, first of all, for a Brush Truck, there is really no need to buy a brand spanking new F550, with all the bells and whistles on it. There is the first amount of $$ saved by purchasing a decent used F350 or Chevy 3500 or Dodge 3500 with either a Flat Bed, or decent Used Utility Body. More $$ saved. Gas or Diesel power is optional. A brand new 250 or 275 gallon IBC Tote could serve as the water tank and they can be purchased for around $150. A Honda Pump can be Purchased Brand New from Harbor Freight for a couple hundred bucks... Along with a hose reel, and couple hundred feet of 3/4 inch hose, and nozzle. Plumb it out with PVC Piping from Lowes. Instead of a fancy expensive LED Lighting Package, an older used old school lightbar with halogen rotators can be installed, along with some flashing lights from Tractor Supply, or most any decent auto parts store. Finish it off with a mechanical siren, and if using a Flatbed, maybe a couple tool boxes along each side for storage, and a few floodlights and small generator. You don't need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a fancy brush truck that's eventually gonna get messed up and scratched up in a field or brush fire. All you need is a truck with a tank, pump, hose reel or 2, a few hand tools, some emergency lights and a siren... All of which can be had used for what few calls it will be running each year in most rural volly depts.
This also includes the Kawasaki mule and the trailer
@@kevinswinyer3176 One other nice aspect of the older trucks is the no regen -but I agree with you on a basic type 6 brush truck - I vollyed for almost 40 years -worked both paid municipal and also worked as an engine boss on a contract type 6 and a 5 -on the contract side 4 door cabs were generally useless in many situations. Simple is best
A police officer trying to see what real heroes do for a living.
Nah, I'm joking. I love you too my police babes. See you on the job.
Please don’t overlay conversation with music. It’s very distracting, and makes me want to stop watching.
We have worked on that but it helps cover the edits. I have continued to learn and adjust it so it’s not so obvious. Thanks for watching
You guys can't come up with enough ways to waste taxpayer money. It just amazes me!
They don’t get taxpayer money, they do fundraisers, donations, and get grant money. Usually if the fire stations get anything they will get a max of around $15k a year from the township, but most get nothing
@@HeroesNextDoor Has any of these guys heard of NFPA Compliant or having safety measure other than just throwing a non baffled water tank on a pickup truck and calling it a Safe to operate Fire truck. Not to mention possible over weight. That just keeps the Lawyers happy when someone gets hurt. And that just increases the cost of new trucks.
Overpriced
