Bedford Hills FD Tower Ladder 57 (F.A.S.T.) + Car 2032 + Utility 6 (F.A.S.T.) Responding

[@CobraEmergency]

I just love Tower Ladder 57, I know I've said it before. But the lights, the siren, the livery, the shape and overall style of a lovely Seagrave Marauder!

[@LowHudEmergency]

Haha, no I understand. I love Seagraves too, especially BHFD's fleet.

[@centralnewyorkresponses7887]

CobraEmergencyVideos - Europe too bad they don’t use trucks this nice in Europe.

[@dylankendig8596]

The house siren w/ multiple responding units was really cool.

[@LowHudEmergency]

+LanCo Responding Yes, thats why I left that part in. Thanks for watching!

[@travissecoy13]

I noticed the gbfd pager, Golden bridge? are you a firefighter for them?

[@P1ECHO]

that's one great looking station

[@AccountUsedSomewhatFrequently]

+P1ECHO They renovated it in 2011-12 with a two bay extension. Its nice on the interior, as well!

[@justanotheraviator2357]

Little bit short for comfort

[@AccountUsedSomewhatFrequently]

Nice catch! How loud was that station siren? Never heard it go off, in person.

[@LowHudEmergency]

+ArmonkFD1111 Thanks! Not exactly sure how to answer that, lol, but you can interpret it from the video.

[@AccountUsedSomewhatFrequently]

+LowHudEmergency Lol!

[@DexiVisuals]

i like how there ladder truck take fetures from NYC ladder trucks with the supports on the front cab

[@LowHudEmergency]

That's just the Seagrave Aerialscope design, they are all like that.

Dexi too bad NYC doesn’t have a Q standard on all trucks:/

[@captured911]

Awesome looking firehouse!

[@LowHudEmergency]

+captured911 Yes its really nice. It was completely renovated and that whole lower portion was added on in 2011-2012.

[@markfryer9880]

Phew, that Tower Ladder 57 only just cleared the doorway and the lining of the first floor. Were talking maybe 3" or 75 mm at best, awfully close.

[@LowHudEmergency]

+Mark Fryer Oh, I've seen way worse. A lot of the old firehouses around here, especially down in NYC or in northern NJ are way tighter.

[@jamesvanscoy7717]

Love the house siren does it still blow in 2021 for calls

[@LowHudEmergency]

Yes it does.

Wait, how did you get a pager from Golden’s Bridge Fire Department? Are you a FF there?

[@LowHudEmergency]

I am.

[@LiamPattisonPhotography]

Sweet response. I'm loving the look of all of those units!

[@LowHudEmergency]

+Brandon Emergency Photography Yeah I'm a huge Seagrave fan so this is one of my favorite departments in the area. Almost exclusively Seagrave fleet.

[@LiamPattisonPhotography]

Seagrave's are absolute beasts. I only get to see them if I travel to the states and visit like LA or something so it's a big treat to see them responding on here. Great catch.

[@LowHudEmergency]

Thanks! Lucky for me, they are very common around here and becoming increasingly popular too.

[@LiamPattisonPhotography]

Lucky you is right. I'd be pumped if our fire/ems service had one.

+Vancouver Island Emergency Buff Thanks! Yeah, that is my pager and also my scanner under it which is what that antenna is on.

[@VancouverIslandEmergencyBuff01]

+LowHudEmergency Ahh nice. How come Car 3032 didn't respond earlier instead of going with the ladder? How's Golden Bridge Fire doing?

[@LowHudEmergency]

I think he was just waiting to make sure the tower got out. Also, it wasn't that important for him to respond because the Yorktown chief(s) had command because it was their call. GB is doing good, we ordered our new rescue-pumper finally (facebook.com/hendricksonfire/photos/pb.118867644807983.-2207520000.1454281120./1170013256360078/?type=3&theater) and the firehouse may be getting closer to starting construction.

What's with the extra siren

[@Rummeltobi]

What an amazing video! Love it! :)

[@LowHudEmergency]

+RTobi (Rummeltobi) Thanks!

[@mohammedtoure3968]

Amazing is car 2032 housed at that station ?

[@LowHudEmergency]

+Mahamad Toure Thanks! No, being a volunteer department, all three chiefs use the chief cars as their personal vehicle while they are in that position so that they can respond directly from where they are at all times. He just happened to be at the station when the call went out.

[@ryanflanagan8793]

@@LowHudEmergency That chief car might be a battalion

[@infinitecanadian]

Why sound the siren if the crew is already there?

[@LowHudEmergency]

It is a volunteer station, there just happened to be someone there.

[@infinitecanadian]

LowHudEmergency Ah, I see.

[@jaysmith1408]

infinitecanadian siren goes off upon tone activation from dispatcher. If trucks are fully crewed already, they can shut off siren before full cycle.

[@pillcosby546]

jfsa380 Why even use a siren? Wouldn't the volunteers already know via radio/phone? I could see its usefulness maybe thirty years ago but not in the modern day.

[@aksnowman4455]

Pill Cosby pagers don't always work, and they can die if you don't charge them, or you forget your pager or lose it? The siren is another source of alerting volunteer firefighters that there is a call.

[@autobotoptimusprime6142]

How do you get the radios of the fire dept?

[@LowHudEmergency]

A scanner can be purchased online. A pager can as well, but mine was provided to me by the fire department that I'm a member of.

[@autobotoptimusprime6142]

LowHudEmergency okay thx i should get one for my self for my lego fire dept of calls

[@autobotoptimusprime6142]

LowHudEmergency plus i like your videos there fun to watch

[@autobotoptimusprime6142]

LowHudEmergency why do the sirens in the fire dept like tornado sirens go off?

[@Rick1885]

Is that an external antenna on your Minitor?

[@LowHudEmergency]

No, that antenna is on my scanner, which the pager is resting on top of in this video. Thanks for watching!

[@Rick1885]

LowHudEmergency Damn, wish I could put a nice big antenna on my Minitor. I've just taken to carrying around a Baofeng radio, doesn't hurt that I can talk on it as well.

+Dalton Partlow 100% volunteer.

[@Recovering_Californian]

They took different directions ...??

[@LowHudEmergency]

+mikeallenbrown1 I'm sure they knew where they were going. There is more than one way to get places. Tower may have gone that way because it was more main roads and may have been easier for the larger truck.

[@EyeWatchThemAll]

After all these videos, I don't think I've watched one where they ran out the klaxon during the response!

LowHudEmergency Welcome!

[@ismaeelmansoor3689]

What was that loud noise

[@AccountUsedSomewhatFrequently]

+ismaeel mansoor That was the station siren, which is ran whenever they get a call. It tells the volunteer firefighters that there is a call and they need to go to the station.

[@LowHudEmergency]

+ismaeel mansoor Like ArmonkFD1111 said, that siren was used before modern radio technology to alert volunteers to a call, and is now used as a back up for the pagers. They are extremely common among volunteer fire departments in the eastern portion of the US.

[@kalelc1996]

STH10 siren used to call volunteers

[@KevinsGames199]

this is probably a stupid question, but what does f.a.s.t. stand for?

[@AccountUsedSomewhatFrequently]

+Kevin Martin Firefighter Assist and Search Team, its not a stupid question. If you have any more questions, let me know!

[@KevinsGames199]

+ArmonkFD1111 thanks so much!!

[@AccountUsedSomewhatFrequently]

+Kevin Martin No problem!

[@LowHudEmergency]

+Kevin Martin Like Armonk FD1111 stated, F.A.S.T. stands for Firefighter Assist and Search Team. Different areas refer to this as a R.I.T. or Rapid Intervention Team, if you've ever heard that term used. Their only job is to set up escape routes for firefighters on all sides of the building and in the unfortunate event a firefighter goes down inside the building, they go in to rescue them.

LowHudEmergency why were they there already and that must be one rich volley dept

[@centralnewyorkresponses7887]

Only one department in my county has a FAST Team because nobody else wants to do it and it’s physically straining.

[@LowHudEmergency]

We are very fortunate to have a number of F.A.S.Teams in the area. But coming from a small department, I understand how it would be difficult to run one.

[@centralnewyorkresponses7887]

I mean we’re probably busier than BHFD, but not by much. We’re running under 60 volunteers.

[@darrentoy6359]

is this volunteers

[@LowHudEmergency]

+Darren Toy Yes it is, 100% volunteer.

[@franciscobernal9898]

great video

[@LowHudEmergency]

Thanks!

[@gunn13fan]

What does FAST mean?

[@LowHudEmergency]

Firefighter Assist & Search Team. Some areas refer to them as a R.I.T. or Rapid Intervention Team. They are essentially a group of firefighters who are there just in case a firefighter goes down inside a fire; it is their job to go rescue the downed firefighter.

[@gunn13fan]

Very cool learn something new!

[@nickmcguire718]

I thought it was a tornado siren

[@viprider8667]

Wie ist des eigentlich in den USA mit dem Ehrenamt? Also in Deutschland wird des Ehrenamt so gut wie gar nicht geschätzt und bei der Feuerwehr lässt der Arbeitgeber einen auch nur ungern bei nem Einsatz gehen.

F. A. S. T.?

[@LowHudEmergency]

Firefighter Assist & Search Team. Other areas may call it R.I.T. or Rapid Intervention Team, but its the same thing. Its a team of firefighters that standby at every fire or sometimes other potentially dangerous incidents that is specifically there in the event that a firefighter needs assistance inside the building (i.e. they suffer a medical emergency, become trapped, run out of air, etc.).
