Building Fire turnout! Las Vegas

Main Station for Las Vegas Fire Rescue, responding to a structure fire: 2 engines 1 truck and Battalion Chief vehicle.
Thank you to all Valley Firefighters!!! PS: correction from video, NOT a full response.
Please check out my other channel BAdiscovery. • Video

[@TheAxman27]

I know some people view this as a slow response, if you listen at the beginning of the video to the dispatch tones, no station 1 units are on the response, it’s not until around 1:24 that you hear a firefighter use the station PA to let everyone know the call is down the street from the station (may have been the initial location reported being incorrect). You can also hear the dispatch tones at the end of the video (right after truck 1 leaves) finally say ‘engine 1, 201, truck 1’ so in reality these firefighters were responding before the tones ever came in.

[@tryson1995]

I love the sound if the engines roaring when they pull out.

[@LasVegasEASPhoto8]

The old quantums made the best engine sound!

[@bafiredept]

Oh yess they do! I did a ride along last Friday in three different Pierce. One of them a brand new model. such a great truck! (Henderson city, Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Clark County) has them. Not sure about Boulder City...I know Pahrump has different ones.

[@Rodzilla43]

WOW, from 2012 !!! Hope they get their response time better. I saw lots of comments about that. I was on for a while and even our volunteer Dept. got out in less then 30 seconds

[@ahnbra]

You partly correct by writing full turn out. For this station this is a regular turn out for a fire call. The Rescue (Ambulances) do not always go on fire calls. especially since this station now has 3 Rescue Co.'s. I do not know how many and what types of apparatus respond to a first alarm fire call in the Las Vegas Valley. I live in Minnesota.

[@jmurt99]

I believe it's 2 engines, a truck, a rescue, and a battalion chief per alarm

[@cxfirerescue2592]

Love the engine sound on Engine 1.

[@WAL_DC-6B]

Bet they were just headed to the local donut shop!

[@17587419]

I love how they have the flag on the back of their trucks. Also the trucks are amazing.

[@cranberrybog1]

Even the garage doors are slow! haha

[@davebutcher2011]

At Las Vegas Fire and Rescue Station 1 there are 2 Engine Companies (Engine 1 and Engine 201, Truck 1, Battalion Chief, and Three Rescue Units (Rescue 1, Rescue 201, and Rescue 301) Station 1 covers the downtown and Freemont Street area of the city. Next to Station 10 they are the busiest and largest station in the City. This is as close as it gets to a full station response. Engine 1 is the Snozle.

[@davebutcher2011]

+davebutcher2011 Also of recent I have heard and sceene Rescue 401 to the list of rigs that respond out of the downtown station.

[@SamSung-tg1ge]

[@Ssj31234]

What does snozle have to do with anything ?

[@woofdog4219]

Love those flags on the backs

[@sub222marathon]

Responses this speed are why cops make fun of firemen. Not to mention screaming sirens from the moment they hit the door although it's the middle of the night and no traffic.....

[@gregschroeder3686]

In the beginning of incident, you see the BC pull out and wait. My opinion is he/she was reading the address and also wondered why Station 1 was not on tge original dispatch. In some departments Medic and BC tones are different, so that you don't awake the entire station if they are not responding.

[@bafiredept]

Well, the clark county FD is huge from the main "Strip" las vegas area to the far side of the border with cali, and the Mountain at Mt Charleston. In Vegas area there are the CCFD, The Las vegas Fire D, The Henderson Fire D, The Boulder City fire, and the North Las Vegas Fire D. You should check their web they have all the stations and stats...:) thanks and questions are always welcome sorry for taking long just been hectic.

[@ptmy8590]

They sound and look smooth.

[@bafiredept]

I will update that this like the title says is a structure fire turnout. The only rigs that didn't respond we're 2 rescues one on the video side next to BC and the other one opposite the tower bay. The subsequent video shows 2 additional fire engines responding that we're out already. If you guys have detail true information share it and I'll post it.

[@aussiefire37]

great catch, LVFR has got nice trucks!

[@brandonmay2968]

that was a slow reposing time

[@be5575]

2 minutes ? You stupid

[@davidmorley1606]

@@be5575 2:07 are you stupid!! The bay doors closed faster than they opened.

[@soldier3157]

Nop

[@bafiredept]

yeah i know,, i get a ton of comments about it...but in a not the video during the day u see that they don't take long at all and is another fire call. Yes all of the city of las vegas, north las vegas, henderson, and county use Pierce Q exclusively... The rescues are either international or frieghtliner chassis. I love it! thanks for watching!

[@bafiredept]

thanks! which ones you guys have?

[@bafiredept]

pretty much all las vegas fire and clark county fire, and henderson fire and maybe north las vegas fire have all Pierce quantum rigs. pretty cool i love them:)

[@jimdevilbiss9125]

Those have got to be the slowest garage door opening I’ve ever seen. I did read the captions about not being dispatched at the first part of the picture but check the time between the battalion chief leaving and the first engine.

[@schscougar2008]

Very nice rigs. Might want to think about some faster opening bay doors...

[@BraaapStudio]

Nice video ! 👍👍👍

[@bafiredept]

thanks and yes got to loveee those Pierce's Q

[@ColbyMontminy]

Hmmm... Those Piece rigs look amazing. I live in the near by valley (Pahrump). I still love going to Vegas to see these rigs. However, we got some nice rigs out here in Pahrump. :)

[@docman789]

at my volunteer house we are out the door in less then 45 seconds for most ems calls and anything fire related (especially fires) we are gone less then 25 to 30, we all sprint to the truck when we got 3 we roll no waiting

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Cool catch! :D

[@bafiredept]

it was sheer luck really.

[@bafiredept]

will do, check out my other videos from the some of the other departments. thanks

[@engineer5213]

Agree with everyone on the slow response, however a couple of things to keep in mind. These are probably not the only or closest engines responding to this call and this is probably the 20th or 30th call this station has had for the shift. i have been to this station and it is sick how many calls they get. The fact this many apparatus were in the station at the same time is amazing. But I still agree... pretty slow time out.

[@chase91145]

On scene in three minutes? more like out of the station in three minutes! xD

[@Absolut531kmh]

Breh

[@billlumley3594]

[@adamkeyser3737]

Maybe the station was on fire

[@Revman06]

Sounds like they are using Locution for computer aided dispatch. We have it here in my home town too. I like hearing the voice come in over the scanner.

[@SixthShotNation]

We'll get there when we get there...

[@tre2597]

That was just awesome

[@trailthumper]

Great vid! Please show more!!

[@williamsparksjr.1212]

That gap between the building and third door from the left bothers me. I dont know why... it just does

[@bunnyman4446]

what the heck

[@williamsparksjr.1212]

bunny man you see that light shining through? The door is not sealing correctly and will cause an air leak for heating/cooling.

[@bunnyman4446]

William Sparks Jr. ok, I understand now....yeah, I could see how that could bother someone

[@garygray5579]

[@CobraEmergency]

Brilliant video ;). Nice big turnout.

[@davidmorley1606]

So 2:07 wasted f-King around before one truck rolls while a structure burns. Time is everything.

[@JLieseke]

We do the same thing (I don't, I go to the firehouse) and my previous statement stands...Think about it, you drive directly to the fire (assuming you guys know where to go) you still have to get into turnouts, go to the firetruck that you HOPE beat you to the fire...what if they didn't? You can only do a 360 and prepare a report for the IC, and wait for your SCBA and tools on the truck. So truck is there now you have to get into SCBA and mask, grab tools pull hose...You can't say that your

[@bafiredept]

Hi, not green. As far as I know it been red with a gold stripe and golden dice for quite a while. Though I be seen old pics of some white rigs... Thanks for watching!

[@bafiredept]

after they left there were 2 rescues. One on the same side of the video, and the other one opposite from the tower ladder. They rescues had just arrived when they left.

[@FmasterJG]

How does this Fire Department differ from the Clark County Fire dept? Forgive my lack of knowledge, here in Hawaii, each island (almost), has a completely separate FD.

[@MrJh2527]

have to admit though the automatic steps are pretty badass

[@EedisTheSpitfire]

No kidding! I'd be a helluva lot quicker if I knew a structure fire was waiting for me.

[@darrelllowell5529]

I still think blue lights don't belong on a fire engine....

[@tyquieemurphy4200]

Love that siren from engine 1

[@jakewebber4567]

Damn, they sure do like the Pierce Quantum chassis

[@joegaito702]

They deserve alot of credit let's stop and honor and appreciate the paramedics and firemen and police who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock great job great team work and good catches as usual still going strong great looking tower very impressed stay safe and warm out there !! Joe ❤❤😂😅

[@joer3481]

Chicago fire department, 4 trucks and ambulance, chief ,out in 1:30

[@fyrman9092]

I could see a slower than usual response for an alarm activation, but 2 minutes to get out the door seems excessive for a house fire...

[@harridavies8466]

Wow the sound of then V8s . Do they send mass turn outs in the uk

[@SilverSprings95]

The call was a building fire with BC3 BC4 BC1 E1 T1 E201 And the lighting shut off was part of their Alerting system.. if yall heard the tones drop again the lights came on for another call

[@trailthumper]

Please try to get some more of this Station

[@bafiredept]

lol I can see that happening! well the Bc was there too, he was the first to leave. Then he waited for the engines and tower on the side.

[@donnyvanstrander5621]

we send an engine, tower and heavy rescue to fires in our 1st due district, for a vol. company we have about a 2:30 turnout from when the 1st alert comes through to when the house siren winds down, at that time the frontline engine is already out the door and the tower following it

[@joshkennedy261]

Unless you work where i do. We have walk away SCBA's in out seats. Were usually out the station after initial dispatch in 50 seconds or less. Most of the time we usually save time by putting our jackets on while en-route.

[@paverop]

They have a really nice firehouse and good equipment. They do need faster garage door openers though....

[@JLieseke]

My department is all volunteer also...and it takes us longer than that to stop what we're doing and GET TO the firehouse...so how do you guys do it?

[@bafiredept]

I don't know... I been at that house a couple of times and the lights will stay on... maybe at certain time they go on a timer...? good question. But it made a good effect, Ill try to go back there at night again. thanks!

[@DavidOrtiz-rc1vt]

Awesome videos.Gorgeous rigs.I'm jealous of the rigs,lol

[@bafiredept]

yes I suppose haha it's quite a big house. One of the few that still has the fire poles.

[@bafiredept]

lol i know! check the other fire response video from inside the bay:) thanks

[@K1NO2]

Do they know that a building is on fire? They're slow as...well, imagine!

[@owena6300]

Very nice video I like it

[@bafiredept]

thanks man

[@tarb28]

I've never seen such a slow response to an emergency b4... talk about laid back

[@markomarley5388]

As an ex fire fighter, for all those who are complaining about the response time, let me just point out that its obviously a night shift, and id say late due to the lack of traffic on the road, and so these men were probably trying to catch up on some sleep at the time of the call!!! But hey, you think you can do better? Do the training and sign up!! But its not a job for every one!!

[@NinerGold6441]

When the lights go out on you from the time you were rung down, that means your way too slow.... Chute time not too good, especially for a reported fire.

[@jbeaverhausen3809]

+Joseph Durrenberger Was thinking the same thing. When the chief is the first one out the door and responding... your hall has problems.

[@DorianTMChannel]

+Joseph Durrenberger remember. callouts usually interrupt showers, bathroom breaks, and naps. it takes some time to get out of the shower and get your stuff on!!!

[@ArmEConDoesMinecraft]

J Beaverhausen its often quite normal for the chief to leave the station first.

[@DandCentertainment]

Joseph Durrenberger .

[@FDNY63truck]

steve mclaughlin the response time was god awful... not sure what you're going off about..

[@bafiredept]

yeah... i did corrected in a comment box previous... it was my bad, the rescues stayed at the station for this one.

[@jdmackinnon208]

How does LVF&R staff the apparatus here? 4 on the engine and ladder and 3 on the second engine or is the ladder the three person response?

[@truryderz82]

4 on Engine 1 , 4 on Engine 201, and 4 on Truck 1

[@Sledge276]

Could those garage doors open any slower?

[@Maverick-451]

I mean what is that unit behind the 4th garage from where the camera is; if that unit didn't respond which it seems it didn't, then that means it's not a full turnout

[@RayRay2290.1]

Looks like a backup ambulance. Could be there just in case it's needed.

[@bafiredept]

@RayRay2290TX actually they have many calls and they keep 3 rescue ambulances at that time. Keep in mind that is the central station for that department

[@jazzbutterworth]

YESSS!!!! Please do some more of lrvfd.

[@bafiredept]

they actually called an engine. It has that squirt extension. called "tele-squirt"

[@bafiredept]

about 18 fire stations. of the city of las vegas fire and rescue, then county has way more and north las vegas and henderson, and boulder city...

[@FDNY63truck]

Those engines sound badass

[@CamoflaugeKoala]

+Brent Vilchez I am so confused by your comment...

[@christianyoung5689]

When was it made

[@RMRRACING93R]

why did the lights go from being on to going off and back to on again?

[@fire214]

VERY NICE

[@FmasterJG]

Thanks for the reply. I like the tower and the snorkel/snozzle. Interesting that the FD decided on a piece like that. You figure they'd just throw a regular ladder or another tower on it. I assume that apparatus is an Engine? Does it count as a "quint" if it has a snozzle instead of a stick? haha

[@John_Montefalco]

A quint is a pumper with a ladder , a snozzle is a engine with a hose boom stick , a snorkel is a bucket truck with no ladder

[@sirenlover100]

not the Q, the one near/on top of the fire station (example; here in Urbana, IL there is a tornado siren next to the fire station)

[@FredChristianImpact]

Is it LVFR or Clark.County that has the biggest ladder truck in America. ? Is it still in service saw a picture of it once had tiller am I correct ?

[@bafiredept]

well in the entire nation i dont know. This video in particular is LVFire but at least in Las Vegas and the surrounding towns or the valley, yes the CCFD is the biggest.

[@bafiredept]

yes they do! thanks

[@bafiredept]

yeah..i know. you should! but not all the FD in vegas have them though...but some of the high officers are form the east coast in that dept. I'm sure that helped...

[@bafiredept]

You know after your message i saw Ladder 48 of LVFR has a tiller. I saw them last friday around their depo. But a BC told me that they will be gone soon. I like them better..

[@steveochs3963]

Wow those doors are slow to open

[@zzwheelz]

I meant from time of call. Trucks should be out in under 2 minutes from first 'bells'. Most of the stations I have visited have the same requirement.

[@Top10Mr]

Sweet response, I love the Pierce Quantums'

[@bafiredept]

yes i corrected it in a comment...the 2 rescues were still there...my bad.

[@Challis1989]

Bit slow for a wholetime. My retained station at night can be paged, dressed and assembled and out the shed in around the same time.

[@TiffanySmith-ss3cm]

My station as well, we have 7 minutes to get a truck on the road as we get paged aswell yet we are generally out with in 3 minutes as we live close to the station,

[@Mrx122ful]

we in austria have to arrive on the szene and put first measures in less than 10 minutes after the call. Normally it takes 3 minutes after the call and our first truck is on the way to the szene. how long it takes us between response and arrival at the szene depends on where the szene is located. sorry for my bad english i´m austrian

[@TiffanySmith-ss3cm]

okay?

[@Mrx122ful]

***** yeah me too because I'm in a vounteer fd.

[@centralnewyorkresponses7887]

Mrx122ful my city is out the door in less than 90 seconds from the time of dispatch to the time they’re out the door. Very aggressive fire attack and quick response time to scenes.

[@bmxawesome]

The noise of the engine sounds like my town rolling out code 3

[@eddiethek1234]

lol our pierce quantum just got rear ended at a stop sign not too long ago, we all miss it :(

[@ryan125g]

there sure takin there jolly ole time

[@firefighterAlex5]

I like that tower truck

[@aaronrapaport5460]

Those American flags!!!!!! Just beautiful

[@wjd]

What are those hoses that were attached to the Fire Trucks for?

[@MrTenor-ch5gs]

They suck up the exhaust fumes so that the exhaust fumes aren’t in the apparatus bay

[@bafiredept]

yeah there are a few st that have them. It is still an engine for them, i see your point of view but they don't count it as a tower and i believe i only saw the henderson FD with a quint at their station of lake las vegas.

[@oxygen454]

Awesome video, can I use some of the audio for a stop motion video? I can credit your channel 👍

[@rrobertsnot5150]

Awesome. All Pierce's

[@FireRescueVideosBFD]

They're all in the Las Vegas AREA, though! Henderson and North Las Vegas are their own cities, and Clark county covers Laughlin which also is its own town.

[@KMA558]

Your right, so don't assume response procedures and time frames are universal.

[@Airplanefooood]

In what way was that slow? Do you want them to work, eat and sleep inside their trucks? In our vol. dept. in Belgium, it even takes up to 6 minutes before the first FFs arrive at the house. Then they have to put on their gear and wait till the engine is staffed as it should be. It can take up to 8 to 10 minutes before the first engine leaves the house. So I can't see any problem with three minutes.
