بسیار زیاد تشکر ازمهربانی تان

[@realminecraftnub3682]

would you be able to do a more detailed version of the firetruck tour?

[@centralyorkfireservices7075]

Love this request! We are planning on creating a video that is more detailed, for an older age group. Thanks for the comment!

[@trevor6434]

what switch do you hit when you turn on sirens? where is it in the truck up above or on the dashboard?

[@jamesrader3329]

There's 2 pedals on the floor and one knob on the dash. Both the officer and driver can control the sirens.

[@joellenb8671]

Hi! Thank you for this overview, I’m an Australian, so the only real knowledge or experience I have is through tv. Now my question in watching ‘Chicago Fire’ in an episode they showed what I thought was standard ppe, it was an alarm/flashing light that was activated when the firefighter was no longer moving, is this a real piece of equipment or just something created for tv? Regards Jo Qld, Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨

[@centralyorkfireservices7075]

Hi Jo! Thanks for the question. Yes, we do have something called a "mayday" alarm. Not as cinematic as something you may see on TV, but a practical and important feature on our radios for use in a firefighter-down scenario. Here is a link with more information: www.fireengineering.com/firefighter-training/firefighter-basics-calling-the-mayday/#gref

[@yahyaali2346]

Do you have any tips for me has a new firefighter

[@jamesrader3329]

Yes. Listen to the people that's been doing the job a little longer than you have. And pay attention to your surroundings. And one more thing. Ask questions. Even if you think you know always ask questions.

[@alqaaprilinoramsdeximanger9946]

can i ask something??

[@Theoutdoorlover]

I wanna say i want to be a firefighter and i am from Denmark but i am not sure I can because i have diabetes but i read about what it requires to be a firefighter and it didn't saw anything and i don't know if it is different from Denmark or where you guys are but can you be a firefighter if you have diabetes because i have always wanted to be in the frogmen corpse or the marines but i wanna be a firefighter and i don't know if I can because of my diabetes

[@LilBettaFishthatcould]

I have a friend down here in Texas who’s trying to become a FF and during the hiring processes he hasn’t been denied

[@patrickjvanhuffel]

How did it go did you get the job?

[@andyapple5746]

It's not a disqualifying health condition here in MI anyway, you should be fine as long as your diabetes is under control. Best of luck to you my friend!

[@Theoutdoorlover]

@@andyapple5746 thank you

[@jamesrader3329]

I shouldn't see why not as long as your on top of your health.

[@cgcallahan0]

[@jamesrader3329]

The p.a.s.s device is built into the air pack. So when you turn it on it comes on auto matic.
