FAQs-
Q: "Where is this?"
A: Our fire house is located in the town of Willow Street, just south of Lancaster City, Lancaster County Pennsylvania.
Q: "What is the spinning thing?"
A: That is called the "Roto-Ray," it is a spinning light designed to catch drivers attention.
Q: "Why is the call so far away?" or "Why does it take so long to get there?"
A: Many of our responses, or at least many of the ones that are uploaded are responding to assist other departments. Usually another firehouse can be seen or is passed by who is already on the call. We can reach the far end of our first due in West Lampeter Twp within 5 minutes, and in Providence Twp about 7.
Q: "What camera are you using?"
A: For dash cams I use a GoPro Hero 7, helmet cam videos I use a FireCam 1080

Hah. The Ford 550 pumper was haulin' ! I thought "uh oh" turning into the corn field, but no soft plowing it turns out. Great response. A cool summer video.

[@Fire-Rescue50]

Thank you!

Dude, what's up with the Honda CR-V drivers in your area? I spotted at least two that couldn't figure out how to pull over.

[@austinhannaweather644]

Couldn’t or wouldn’t. Some drivers are so entitled

[@Unkn0wn_Legacy9751]

Nobody can drive over here bro 😭

[@littlesquirtthefireengine5478]

Easy answer. Honda CRV and Toyota RAV4 are favorite cars of 70+ year old drivers.

Very nice videos. Greetings from Germany🇺🇸🇩🇪

[@Fire-Rescue50]

Thank you!

[@JaredsAZVideos]

That was a great video, I really loved it! Looks like you got there just in time to put out the fire. I love how your vehicle is equipped with a great air horn and GTT Opticom traffic signal preemption as it looks like all of your emergency vehicles are. Keep up the great work and awesome videos and stay safe out there! 😃

[@Fire-Rescue50]

Thank you!

[@JaredsAZVideos]

@@Fire-Rescue50 You’re more than welcome! 😃

[@johnleaman9899]

Love the fact that you are posting new videos. This from an 80 year old Florida resident, who used to be a Lancaster City Firefighter when we had 6 stations, and 110 firefighters. Also was an East Petersburg volunteer. Amazing how long your response runs are. Where I now live response times are 3 to 5 minutes 🚒

[@LindaFirefighter03]

This was a mutual aid response. Thus, not their first due area.

[@donnamitchell7707]

Fantastic footage. You all did a really good job putting out the fire. Have a great day ❤️🙂⚘️🚒.

[@timclemmer2640]

Good video

[@jea069er]

Time to buy a steel rake!

[@LindaFirefighter03]

I think all the other hand tools were being used. Better to use something than stand around and use nothing.

[@Tower_15_Ladder]

Your the "officer in charge!"

[@Robert-cd2ht]

TAC 50 is an awesome truck! Is there a reason for having different siren tones?

[@Fire-Rescue50]

Thank you! It was just the siren that came with it, and the train horns were a personal choice. It doesn't have a Q being that it's a smaller vehicle

[@ScytheTheScarecrow]

@@Fire-Rescue50 Any plans on adding an EQ2B to Tac 50?

[@SgtGoodGaming]

How does that Hose Reel work on TAC 50? I saw you were able to pull hose, but how did they reel it back in?

[@Fire-Rescue50]

There's a button that automatically reels it back in

[@SgtGoodGaming]

@@Fire-Rescue50 Oh that is cool, but what happens when that button goes out and no longer works?

[@Fire-Rescue50]

@SgtGoodGaming I guess we get the button fixed haha. Just about every firetruck has a reel line somewhere on it

[@SgtGoodGaming]

@@Fire-Rescue50 lol, thought you might have to hand crank the reel as a backup.

[@LindaFirefighter03]

Busy day if you also got paged out for a vehicle fire while you were on the way to this call.

[@waeller.rescue]

😎👍

[@jayasmrmore3687]

0:18 Honda CRV needs to get into the other lane so the emergency vehicle can pass

[@Karlchilders765]

Better hurry up and get that straw off the ground before that rain hits lol

[@bethj2590]

whee

[@EWDAVID94]

the best you could come up with for mop up has a halligan? 😂😂😂😂 million dollar glorified brush truck with no wildland tools haha

[@Fire-Rescue50]

Yeah I complained after that call and got them moved off the squad onto the tac😂 But aside from that it does everything our engine does at 1/3rd of the price

[@Keaton0801]

@@Fire-Rescue50I’m curious now. Does Tac 50 have a master stream?

[@Dark-lt7zf]

Why are you allowed to have that beard

[@johnleaman9899]

Because they are volunteers .

[@thatjokerperson7062]

our county gets mad when civilians can get on a fire before them... not our fault you respond to brush fires in damn ladder and rescue trucks that youre scared to take down dirt roads. if you didnt get rid of volunteer and go full paid maybe county would have fire trucks on it quicker when the biggest county station is a 1/4 mile from the fire but noooOOoo you have the audacity to yell at the people in a field work truck with a water tank in it getting water on it 10 minutes before any equipment capable of putting it out is on scene

[@aleks9677]

Fund your local departments and you'll have equipment and enough firefighters which can get on scene first. Instead of always complaining, complaining and complaining more, start doing something about it. I see you yappers all along Instagram, KZbin, TikTok always with something to add on and be better from. Just fucking shut your mouth and let them go there and help out. It was dealt with and everyone's happy.

[@Briebabcock8052]

Yeah, I never understood that philosophy with fire departments.

Get off the phone and don't worry about camera. Driving...that was your job, focus before ya kill someone being distracted.
