i've seen plenty of "Ride-Alongs" but this video struck a memory with me,i offically retired in 2021 after serving 23 years for 2 different countys with in the uk for essex & london fire brigade..i still miss the rush & adrenaline of responding to unknown emergency calls day or night. 👍

[@Tirana112AL]

Thank you for serving 🫡🚨🚒💪

They are one of the fire depts with badass fleets and since I live in my hometown in Kansas there are volunteer- paid departments that have nice fleet some fire depts use arffs for any fire use and some use military trucks for anything and where I live we are right next to fort riley so we see US Army Fire department, Geary County Rural Fire Department, Grandview Plaza Fire Department, Junction city Fire Department and rare to see is Milford Fire Department.

[@Firescue112]

Thank you man!

[@anthonyjackson1446]

Thank you very much! Appreciate your Comment :)

[@KSEmergencyPhotos]

That was an amazing video, Thanks for coming to town and showing the outstanding work the WFD does.

[@Firescue112]

Thank you for watching, appreciate it! I just had to visit WFD, badass Fire Department and some of the friendliest firefighters I have met!

[@999EmergencyResponses]

Wow! Amazing footage!

[@Firescue112]

Thank you very much!

[@darrens.4322]

Great production here on this channel (subscribed!). Beautiful truck. I wish that Roto-Ray had been turned on, or the breaker not pulled. Maybe it was giving them an issue since it is still mechanical. Take care...

[@jokeboy_rblxrblx2006]

I have to ask my friend about that since he lives in Wichita and been in the stations and also I live 3-4 hours north from it.

[@Firescue112]

Thank you very much! There are at least 4 more Wichita Videos coming out, also featuring a lot of roto-ray action ;)

[@JeremiahFF]

Das war ein tolles Video!

[@Firescue112]

Vielen Dank! Es kommen noch zwei weitere Ride Along Videos :)

[@nicholaslowe3658]

[@jokeboy_rblxrblx2006]

Thank you for doing ride alongs in Kansas I hope you come up to Northeast Kansas where I am at like Topeka, Mahattan and more.

[@Firescue112]

Thanks for watching! Maybe I check them out in the future :)

There’s no mistaking that long ladder everytime I see a ladder truck roll by

[@michaelacookePDX]

Where I'm at in SW Washington fire alarms are one engine with no lights/siren.

[@n150cz9]

Some departments respond different depending on notes that come in over the phones and pagers. Some respond lights and sirens, others respond cold, meaning no lights and sirens.

[@jokeboy_rblxrblx2006]

I live in Northeast Kansas all of departments are different some run code some don't.

[@Formalpotato]

My city any structure fire call it’s two engines a ladder/platfrom, a rescue and a battalion chief

[@lmfdno40]

Cool is that a camera in the middle of the counsel

[@Firescue112]

Yep, that was the perfect spot!

[@williamfairchild7439]

I'm going to be a Firefighter, be in the Fire Truck and wear heavy bunker gear

[@engineer38-5]

nice video

[@rp1645]

Another question about that wonderful ladder rig 😊 what are the TWO big chrome housing RED ( side to side flashers) on front. What is the manufacturer NAME for those big RED emergency lights. I'm just asking anyone who knows. We don't have those where I am at in the NW part of the USA. 😊

[@kylesvoboda3662]

They are referred to as “MARS 888” lights

[@Stargazzer811]

Wichita isn't actually so unique with their AFA response. In the Midwest and on the East Coast plenty of departments will send 1 engine and 1 truck like this, and occasionally a chief or even a medic if dispatch senses something might be amiss. Volunteer departments will also stack boxes for AFA's too, in case it turns out to be a true alarm. That way there is enough people on scene. In Detroit, Michigan, most AFA's get 1 engine and 1 truck by default and I know in Chicago they will send 2 engines and a truck to most alarms as well, mostly because most of their trucks lack pumps so 1 engine will pump for the truck while the other stretches if a fire is found. Great video overall. The only thing I saw that was not great was the lack of a pole in the firehouse; having one would speed up response times.

[@Firescue112]

Thank you very much! Yes, I just gave my experiences with American fire departments and those were all in the western part of the States.

[@Firescue112]

*and actually they have poles in that station. But the stairs were the fastest option in this case :)

[@Stargazzer811]

@@Firescue112 Ah fair enough. Yeah here on the East Coast aggressive responses to alarms are the norm. The urban sprawl between Norfolk and Boston is incredibly dense with homes, businesses and people so we have to be fast and ready every single time, else we could lose entire blocks. You should come over and check it all out sometime. Philly, Prince Georges County, Baltimore, Boston, Worchester, NYC, all great places to catch some amazing responses.

[@XuBenhong]

It's so cool nd very lucky

Powercall siren on the chiefs car!!

[@rp1645]

Thank you for a very great video 😊❤😊 of Ridealong on that huge LADDER company Can I as what was the officer pushing or adjusting on above head control box. Any time we do a public event up in my neck of the woods, you are very welcome to ride my personality OWNED 1989 Spartan Gladiator pumper. 1500 GPM. It doesn't respond code, but heck, you could RIDE shotgun. 😊 I took OUT the Airpack bracket behind the officer seat. My wife hated it and didn't know how the driver ever could SEE out officer side rear mirrors. My wife, the financial person behind my purchases, told me that's the first thing to take OFF my restoration project. It has a ( silver 92 series DD) with Allison 4 speed push buttons Automatic. 😊

[@Firescue112]

Haha thank you very much for the invitation, appreciate it 😁🙏 - actually I don't know that much about this rig, but if someone from WFD sees that comment they may answer your questions :)

[@BigDuke-md8ec]

How much loose crap can they pack into the cab of that truck ??

[@RetLtFF43]

As much as will fit. What’s the issue?

[@JRJStacks]

Wfd is slower than fawken molasses.

[@herbertfeith6223]

... and if I say that as a German, they'll come down on me 😕

[@Born2doom]

It’s a fire alarm 🤣

[@RetLtFF43]

Where are you on the job?

[@herbertfeith6223]

A look at Europe would show Americans how cumbersome and oversized their vehicles are. The sirens are, quite literally, unbearable. In Northern Italy (South Tyrol), the sirens have a continuous tone along with a second alternating tone, which is ideal for people who can no longer hear all frequencies! Also, the firefighters carry so much gear with them, it's unimaginable in Germany. I could go on with more criticism... The video felt like a glimpse into another century. I’m appalled. About me: 20 years as a group leader. A tip: just watch videos from other countries! Good luck.

[@Firescue112]

You could never tell Americans, how to do things - even if you are right. Tradition is strong with them, especially in the fire service. The system works, the guys are awesome and I really enjoy seeing those differences to the european systems :)

[@brockhallmark9057]

Blah blah blah always someone from Europe talking about how they’re better. These guys are more dialed in than you ever were.

[@firepilot109]

@@brockhallmark9057 Right on!! These guys are awesome and would work circles around herbert! We do classes with them alot and great group.

[@herbertfeith6223]

@@brockhallmark9057 I wasn't talking about the firefighters; I was talking about the equipment! Reading carefully helps :-) You can also read my other comments, maybe then you'll understand me better. It's not against the firefighters.

[@herbertfeith6223]

​@@Firescue112 Well, I guess I have to respect that. I'm just used to working efficiently, guess it's a German trait.

[@dogma39-c4j]

Truck AND Battalion to a fire alarm? Gotta pad those stats for busiest in the Nation

[@Stargazzer811]

Not really. On the East Coast you'll see paid departments stack an entire box alarm assignment onto an AFA if it's a large enough building, like a high rise apartment building or warehouse.
