BVFD Ladder 3 Responding 10/15/16, (Ride Along)

[@Kevill]

That mountain view from the station just never gets old.

[@aaronedwards7921]

Man I live in the Caribbean we have sun, sand and the beautiful sea but when I see bit and piece of America in movies, shows, KZbin videos I am truly envious Americans have a truly majestic country, imagine growing up in a small town with a mountain like that in your back yard those long winding country roads perfect for Sunday drive after church camping out with the family and don't talk about Winter the snow I never being to the US but if I did would rather a small quiet sleepy town with a great view and open fields like this

[@Baribrotzer]

It's in Buchanan, VA, which is near Roanoke, VA., on US-11; the James River goes through town. The mountain is NW of Buchanan, and North of where I-81 crosses the James River. While it doesn't seem to have a name in itself, Appalachian mountains are usually part of long ridges, and those ridges may have names. It might be called Greyledge, though - there's a road and a community near there called that - but I don't know for sure.

[@snipebeast4801]

In washington state we have mountan views like this everywhere and they are better. You walk out of Walmart and it's nothing but mountains in the distance

You know how emergency drives in germany? ... Really stupid. They don't use the free space at the right. They allways use the left space of the road.. really stupid. Reason they say is:"Tow truck isn't allowed to drive on the right lane, so emergency drives on left, so that the tow truck has space to get to the crash... srsly... stupid.

[@justanotheraviator2357]

Probably on delivery

[@jhutch063]

Llf never have I seen a fire truck pull over to pick folks up on a call 😂 priceless

[@chrisowen2925]

Typical of a volunteer unit. There is a bare minimum crew to drive the truck the rest are at work when a call goes so they drive a personal vehicle to the scene or get picked up on the way. Problem With these type of Departments is no budget for a full time crew. But Volunteer Departments are older then History.

[@paulwilliams8555]

VOLUNTEERS.

[@extraslayar4585]

@@chrisowen2925 my departments policy is the truck can leave if there's a captain, or a Lt. With at least two FF. Or if it's been more than 5 minutes from the initial tone then who ever there goes. But once a truck is rolling they do not stop to pick people up unless still in the apron. Other than that guys show up on scene unless it's a highway.

[@chrisowen2925]

@@extraslayar4585 That is the DEFINITION of a volunteer. If the department had full-time staff then it would not be a volunteer house. In the Big City, there are typically 3 engines and a bus in the house. Men / Woman, are there to staff the apparatus 24/7/365. They even have sleeping bunks and a kitchen in the house. Volunteers sleep at home and have a real job get calls and if they can make it to the house jump on the truck or get picked up en route. I know a friend that is a captain for a volunteer department in Tool Tx population 150. Obviously, they do not have a full staff department just sitting waiting for a fire or other accident. Many times they will have one person very close to the Engine since you need that apparatus at every scene. If you can't make it to the house you have to go to the scene.

[@extraslayar4585]

@@chrisowen2925 YEa no i was just saying we arnt allowed to pick up guys on the way like that to much liability and delays response when those guys getting picked up couldve already been on scene and preparing for the tools.

[@OldLordSpeedy]

l love your emercency line on your motorways/highways. In Germany or Thailand they haven't so much free space. In Germany is right sometimes an emercency lane for vehicles in trouble, but this line is 2/3 or 3/4 smaller as the normal line. For big fire apparatus too small!

[@napsterbater]

United States interstate standards are for a 9-foot shoulder the Main travel lanes are 12 foot, so it is smaller but still big enough.

[@hebneh]

They're lucky there's a wide, clear, functional shoulder lane for them. Urban freeways often don't have any extra space like this. But then in urban areas there are lots more on & off ramps, close together.

[@it2044]

why did the sound keep munting after you picked up more crew near 6:19

[@NixNix-ch7ow]

Anyone else notice the vintage style purple pickup truck @ the 10:30 mark or the old fashioned mobile home before it? Also I've noticed that in almost all of these fire truck videos, how when driving on the shoulder like that there are ALOT of semi's on the highway, weird but cool.

[@NixNix-ch7ow]

Anyone else notice how @ the three minute mark how the speed limit went from 35 to 55?

[@chrisowen2925]

Typical of Rural areas. Volunteer means there is a skeleton crew in the Station the others either drive a personal truck to the scene or get picked up on the way. Areas like this do not have the budget to have a full time Fire Department so many of them do this for fun and hobby with out pay or very little.

[@adamgipson6151]

Ten years on an ambulance being the main driver. Some days I wish I had a tank with a blade for a bumper. Although we are only asking for permission to pass or go through an intersection the only person allowed by federal law to disobey red lights and stop signs "use to be" the U.S.P.S.

Ida Floyd You think it’s realistic to have a fire dept on ever block corner?

[@mattmoschkau2831]

It could be worse, I lived in a remote section of Idaho and it was 45 minutes for a police response, firemen or paramedics were typically an hour away. Welcome to the wonderful world of living in rural areas, it’s not ridiculous by any means. Depending on where you live you could be a farmer, sheriff, paramedic and firefighter all in the same day... you might need to know how to operate a road grader and snow plow too!

More like, its not in service and is being delivered.

[@justanotheraviator2357]

They say it's a brand new E-ONE. One of rescue 4's Trucks

[@napsterbater]

@@justanotheraviator2357 they're talking about two different things. The new E1 was the truck in the left lane, it appeared to have no markings other than the rear chevrons though admittedly hard to see, it is likely being delivered to some department somewhere, or its even a demo truck.. The "five two or five three, that is one of rescue fours" is the vehicle that's behind them following them to the scene, that they later say they left in the dust when they arrived on scene.

[@roberthentschelmann916]

Stupid question: vehicles that have air brakes (such as this truck) have systems that bleed the air out as a matter of function. Is there a set up to maintain air pressure in the system or do you have to wait for the pressure to build up? (I realize this is a completely irrelevant question to the video. My curiosity just got the better of me.)

[@randomized4266]

When you start a truck with empty air tanks you have to wait for it to have enough air pressure before it can even release the brakes. The tanks are constantly being refilled while the truck is running. The trucks hold enough air that it doesn't run out of air. I assume if one continuously pressed the brakes the air would run out and then you'd have to wait again. Hope that answered the question.

Using mechanical sirens allows the other motorists to differentiate between Fire equipment and police/ambulance without having to see the vehicle in question.
