BIG RIG Fire Fighting

[@chuckman231]

Lincoln Logs! Showing your age brother! They were one of my favorite toys. Great rigs and a great concept to cross train everyone in the station.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

🤔😉😂

[@trainglen22]

What a cool looking collapse rescue truck.

[@franklewis6943]

Fun fact: 22:49 See the two silver doors on either side of the trailer tandems and the outlet at the back of the trailer? The doors cover trailer hitches, which you'll often see on the sides of rescue apparatus to mount portable winches, along with a power source to run them. Sure, you could do that with this rig but that wasn't the intent. Originally, the idea was to mount a couple horizontal fixtures into the two hitches, slap a work surface and the miter saw on top, and create a handy work bench to cut shoring within steps of the lumber tunnel at the back of the rig. That arrangement is mirrored on both sides so you could have two cut stations operating simultaneously.

Love this station, all the technical items for any situation in a one stop shop! Cross training is a must!!

[@chriswilson9230]

Well thought out organization of the compartments, even on the reserves. I personally like the engineer’s compartment and the room for their gear.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Are you guys definitely take your time and organize trucks to make it work efficiently and effectively thank you for watching

[@MrTyrelle]

What a cool looking rig

[@benjaminnichols7508]

Hey just moved to Denver currently attending CU Denver, and I see these trucks on a daily. Thanks for all your hard work out there!

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Study hard and enjoy the city

[@coolsnake1134]

Those telescoping ladders are awesome. Electricians and home inspectors around me absolutely love them for going up in attics Where it is just a hole in the ceiling in a bedroom closet

[@mooseriddle]

love the collapse rig!

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Me too did you have any idea all this kind of equipment is in one of these trucks?

[@pointman2]

New favorite truck (ok ok hear me out, what if it was a walk-in rescue?!?!)

[@samuelwatson8043]

24:22 My younger brother says Is that a rocket missile on top of the blue truck? Aren't rescue people supposed to help people Me: 😵😓

[@daviemccallum7759]

Nice Appliance

[@greenwoodfireresponse]

That’s a nice unit right there.

[@frankies6770]

You should try to get to good fellowship Ambulance in West Chester or Marple Ambulance or Springfield Ambulance they have fire stations really close you can cover two in one trip 😊

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We need the invites to make that happen. All are in our backyard but they need to email us the invite.

[@Cpq-z1m]

Nice unit

[@frankies6770]

Very nice truck

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Do you have a great truck? We had no idea these kind of trucks have this much equipment.

[@devinruhl9706]

@Heros Next door my local fire department has a 1.35 million 2020 pierce 100” areal tower, they also have a ALS ambulance a tech rig they specialize also in swift current rescue since I live on the Kentucky side of the Ohio river in a town called Hebron Ky

[@devinruhl9706]

And I love your videos sir

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Have them send us an invite so that we can get them on the schedule to come visit.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Thanks we appreciate that

You are much appreciated. Thank you.

[@coolsnake1134]

How many watts is the generator on the Collabs rig? I saw a 20 space panel and what looked like an eight space panel in the first compartment and both looked completely filled with breakers?

[@coolsnake1134]

Also glad to see cutler hammer ch pannels. Top of the line and one of my absolute favorite brands

[@OUTDOORSMAN_NJ]

What are the two compartments, one on each side that he didn’t open? The tall narrow compartments

[@franklewis6943]

Nothing exciting, just a bunch of miscellaneous odds and ends for tools in other compartments. Hoses, adapters and the water pump for the concrete saws; assorted blades; and some gas cans on the officer's side. Some short trench struts and extenders; load indicators; hoses for the Paratechs; and a couple air compressors (one gas, one electric) on the engineer's side. Or, at least, that's how we laid it out in back in 2008 when it still had that new firetruck smell. That section of the trailer is where the lumber tunnel ends, and it just made more sense--drawing from experience working off the rig it replaced, a 1990 Ford L8000/Hackney beer delivery truck donated to the department by Coors; it continues to operate as the reserve out of 18s in Lowry--to add a separate compartment there as a sort of catch-all space for things that might've gotten lost in other compartments if we'd instead simply stretched out the #5 & 6 compartments.

fancey, and cool

[@damaribrackett1159]

Just hear me out could u go to Alaska or Hawaii next😂

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Are you paying for our stay and travel then sure 🤪😉. We are going to get there it will just take some time

[@damaribrackett1159]

@@HeroesNextDoor understandable

[@leekittelson4443]

The collapse rig has 10 wheels not 18 but still very cool

[@HeroesNextDoor]

I call it an 18 wheeler cause it’s basically a tractor trailer. I actually didn’t count the wheels.

[@coolsnake1134]

Would love to see east whiteland township on the channel, they seem pretty busy, they are ambulances and engines are always going past my house at least three times a day but that’s also probably a lot of stuff relating to Paoli Hospital

[@nosauce3039]

Check out SMFR's TRV and ARFF vehicles

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We are heading back to Colorado sometime next year. We’re talking to their PIO now to make that happen.

[@zekai123og2]

ok so hopefully you believe me but I know the chief or the fire station

[@flinexb]

You’re welcome our pleasure we hope to do so much more with your support. Thank you for watching. Make sure to subscribe like and share as many videos as you can to help us build so we can go see more.

[@TheRoadburner99]

@heroesnextdoor Question for you how fast can fire rescue saws handle bench work for a ho scale model railroad

[@HeroesNextDoor]

I’m not sure I understand the question. Can you explain to me what you’re trying to find out?

[@sheagoff6009]

How many videos did you do in Denver? 😂

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We did 9 videos all together on our first trip. We are working with south metro to come back to do more as a collaboration

[@HomeCooktoProCounselor]

You should check out south metros engine 1/2 and Med 1 In centennial Colorado

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We will consider that when we head back next year. Thanks for watching and keep sharing these so that we can keep doing more and more and more stations !

[@ericdaniel7069]

10 wheeler not 18

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Yeah, I’m a little old thinking. Everything is an 18 wheeler I understand it’s a 10.

[@bruh-di4ku]

I like the part where he shows a fire truck

[@bradhanson4803]

That's good you don't do pd stations

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Why not? We have done two PD stations.
