Fire Department POV Response #11

[@lioness72118]

Curious does the department allow you to carry your turnouts in a pov since I’ve seen you going to scenes mainly in video was just curious

[@Alarichswiftpaw]

Where I am, Lots of our departments are all volunteers so we carry gear in our POV's since many of us respond to scene.

[@lioness72118]

Okay I was curious about that didn’t know

[@allthingsfire1509]

I do carry my turnouts in my POV. The trucks leave before I am even paged out so there's no way for me to make it on a truck.

[@grantcampbell7726]

Are those red and white lights your also lucky to have a siren in the state of Indiana your only allowed to have blue lights and no siren in your pov

[@allthingsfire1509]

Yes they are!

[@aydanrea2597]

That's what I love about Arkansas. Red and White and a siren a blaring!!

[@phenomenal7137]

When will you do a tour of your car or truck i wanna know what vehicle your using

[@allthingsfire1509]

2014 Dodge Charger

[@joelfleming67]

Cool how you guys get to use lights. In New Zealand your not allowed to have any lights or sirens on your personal vehicle.

[@johnarat9618]

This will depend on State/Provincial law, mind you! In Saskatchewan (where I live in), Volunteer firefighters here CAN use red lights and sirens, and have the same rights, priority, privileges as a fire truck does, etc. So you still need to Gtfo of the way for a Volunteer firefighter pov here in Saskatchewan. Alberta, Ontario and Quebec uses green courtesy lights with no special rights or privileges, and no siren.

[@johnarat9618]

Ohio has the same POV laws that Saskatchewan has. Other States, Idk.

[@RuralVFF]

Do you still use that light bar? I just purchased two of those (Red and White) and two (Amber) plan on mounting the ambers in the back and the red and whites in the front.

[@allthingsfire1509]

I do, but both of mine have broken pretty quickly... Guess that's what comes with a $20 light.

[@RuralVFF]

@@allthingsfire1509 How did they break? So I can try to avoid it

[@allthingsfire1509]

@@RuralVFF Just broke on its own. No clue how.

[@Charles-ip4zq]

[@allthingsfire1509]

A cheap one I found on amazon. It seems to work well. As if my visor lights aren't enough, lol.

[@Charles-ip4zq]

@@allthingsfire1509 i got a light bar , dash light and hodeaways. Lights are like tattoos and guns addictive

[@SMiller5488]

[@cortlancalcote8445]

Pov setup video

[@allthingsfire1509]

Some day! I will be working on it shortly.

[@midwestfirephotography6244]

Do you have POV light video?

[@allthingsfire1509]

Not yet, I plan on doing one at some point. I just have to find the time to do it.

[@scatt9944]

How many calls do y’all get a year?

[@allthingsfire1509]

I would say less than 200, so not very many. We operate in a vicinity of about 15-20k people, so its not like we run a huge metro area. Also, our dept does not run ambulances, another private company takes care of that.

[@scatt9944]

AllThingsFire Ah okay. I’m in New York and we just had 550+ and we don’t run EMS, so we get pretty busy.

[@justinfps203]

What department do you work for? Paid or volunteer?

[@NerdGaming159]

I think he said Part-time in one of his other videos don't know the department but he might not want anyone to know

[@dustmack1986]

Where was this at?
