Alapaha and Nashville VFD responding to a reported barn fire on 02-13-22, with POV response.

[@Code3Indiana]

Now that old white truck is what I call volunteer. I love to see old units like that!

[@Sonic-sh2vh]

love that truck !

[@crankyjake9143]

I absolutely love the light-bar on the first white truck!!

[@dunc_n_fr]

Love to see the old Streethawks still in service👌🏻

[@p71collector]

It was even brighter when the driver remembered to hit the ON" switch! 1:39

[@thomaspritchard6571]

There are some fine fokes that live in those two communities, Good Neighbors that come and help those in need.

[@emvvehicles_8]

Now this is some old stuff! Nice catch!

[@rapman5791]

Headlights are a key part of the response package. Poorly lit lightbars are not sufficient enough to make your emergency vehicles stand out and be visible to the public. When I teach EVOC I highly recommend headlight usage and make it an absolute as part of my training.

[@andrewlorentz685]

Nice catch I did not know Nashville was volunteer

[@Bernie0481USMC]

How's 16-1-76 treating you all? My first enclosed cab engine. Keep her running.

[@Bernie0481USMC]

Would love to visit. Looks like a nice, quaint town.

[@LordLucariosLair]

The white fire pickup truck, looks great. I'm also guessing the camera guy, signaled the fire truck it's lights were off.

[@an-vcva1486]

A dump truck responding?

[@bigdave4861]

Must have got excited to have an emergency turned siren on but no red lights turn on till after on road 🚨🚨

[@jromebizzle]

Community, taken care of your community.❤

[@Stargazzer811]

I find it funny that Alapaha has had Engine 31 (16-1-76) since at least 2015 and they never felt the need to change the markings on her, or any other rig for that matter. Is it due to funding or are they simply trying to honor the departments that gave them the rigs?

[@LilEnos99]

@@Stargazzer811 honor to them , most of them have “donated by “ on the doors by the companies

[@Stargazzer811]

@@LilEnos99 I like that, that's a good tradition to have. This was a good catch as well.

[@406fish1]

Love the video, keep it up!

[@LilEnos99]

Thank you!

[@jimmiecataldi7099]

so it isn't a SOP to turn headlights on enroute to a call??

[@LilEnos99]

Never heard of this before!

[@LeSedici]

What are the regulations for POV emergency equipment in GA? I'm moving to the northern Augusta area from Texas and currently run red/blue & siren in all my vehicles. I know I'll absolutely have to swap all the blue modules out and apply/pay for a permit to run red/amber. Can y'all use a siren or air horn as well?

[@LilEnos99]

Red/clear or red/red to the front is most common with red/amber to the back with a siren, all heard/seen within 500ft if I'm correct. When you go to the department that you want to volunteer with the chief has the say if you are aloud to run anything at all . Depends on department SOPs and their opinion.

[@LeSedici]

@@LilEnos99 Thanks for the knowledge and fast response! Hopefully my next station is a code 3 POV friendly one lol

[@sinjon]

Was that a garden hose on the back of that last one? Lol

[@LilEnos99]

Sir, that is a Booster reel/ Whip line, its for grass fires, its a hard hose used for forestry operations.

[@Gregwing]

What was that second unit? Brush?

[@LilEnos99]

It's a knocker truck , built by Georgia Forestry, started in the 70s to help rural fire departments. It serves as a brush and tanker. There can also be built with a range of tanks, pump options, and other stuff. Look it up, theres an info sheet about them on gatrees.org I think, or look up Georgia Forestry Fire Knocker

[@StormChaserDavisMax]

Is that Fitzgerald? I live over in Albany looking for a VFD to work in

[@LilEnos99]

No, this is in Berrien County

@@LilEnos99 ahh cool cool. I didn’t know this many folks used POVs here still in GA.

[@LilEnos99]

@@StormChaserDavisMax Thats what they go to the station in. They came in late so they went to a call. Alot of people use them.

[@StormChaserDavisMax]

@@LilEnos99 we use them where I work currently in a combination not too far from there. I just didn’t realize it’s this widespread in GA lol. I’m from here in ga btw. Sad to see a lot of chiefs getting so strict on these. I installl lights sirens and radios for a living.

[@LilEnos99]

@@StormChaserDavisMax Awesome, yeh, they are getting strict with povs, where are you out of in GA?

[@TN_fire_photographer]

What state is this in?

[@LilEnos99]

Georgia

[@gregsatterly9412]

I don't understand these states or departments not allowing pov's to run code. Time is everything!!!! Here in Kentucky volunteers can run code to the station using red/clear or red amber with a siren. When I was a volunteer I was lit up like a Christmas tree and ran a 200 watt siren.

[@LilEnos99]

Its allowed and can be done, but there's a money asset, whacker pov by the way

[@Bernie0481USMC]

Fron NJ. We were only allowed blue. Nit even clear or amber. We were all def buffs. I had a 79 Celica woth two rotators on roof, flashers front deck and rear deck. Than I was a paid in SC and we were allowed red, clear and amber with sirens. Oh boy. I had a 91 Taurus with lights allover.

Been a fireman for 15 years every one of those trucks was going too fast especially especially the last one he barely hit the brakes when he took that right hand turn and ran through that stop sign. Very dangerous

[@LilEnos99]

There is no stop sign , it’s a yield sign

[@anthonyholmes195]

Tell that FD to make sure lights are on before the siren comes on,that white truck without lights at first is unsafe.

Well, not exactly, we have never had one go to the ground unless it was a fatlighyter house, or to far gone when we got there. We have saved countless structures.

Actually volunteers can get there and get water on the fire just as quick or quicker than paid
