First 24 Hours in a New Fire Station - A Day in the Life

Y’all need a award for one of the nicest stations I’ve seen.

@Phillip Stafford I love the design, it really looks like a ranch and a home then a fire station. I would feel very comfortable staying there for 48 hours no problem.

You are very lucky that taxpayers will spend the money on that station and you deserve every inch of it. Stay safe brothers.

I would think it's more that the city government is actually making good use of taxpayer funds. That said, idk why ANY taxpayer would be against another fire station.

@@0zzyninja Especially when they chose the perfect, dead center spot between 17 & 18. It just makes sense to have one there to reduce response time to the areas they talked about (Hearth, Firelight/Poston that 17 covered, Backcountry that 18 covered). When the various merges happened a few years ago, the tax rate for fire protection went up to the rate the rest of SMFR's district was paying. Among the many reasons to consolidate, they were talking about the plans for building Station 20. Anyway, this is them delivering on that promise. Definitely a win for the community.

You can Find this out easily with research. This video shows an example of it with the fire call at the end. Notice how the truck is turned off.

@Baylee Linley it goes back to the days when it was horse and wagon

[@kennie727]

@Baylee Linley it’s old tradition, they originally did it with the horse drawn wagons. In my area when a new station opens now they do it to show that the men and women of the station are still ‘strong and fit’ - qualities you’d want when it comes to getting dragged out of a burning building.

[@airsoftnerfreview7856]

Yes In my town a month ago they opened fire station 20

[@lockedin60]

My Dad would have died to work out of a station like this. He served 30 years with the Greensboro Fire Department in Greensboro NC. He obtained the rank of Assistant Fire Chief when he retired in 1979 due to a medical condition. I spent some time in the old Central Station downtown. The new Central Station is a few miles from the old Central Station. There is a fire training facility housed within the complex.

[@howardhardy1992]

Nice station! Stations are definitely nicer than when I entered the fire service 35 or so years ago. My favorite is the bay doors. Those are awesome!!!!I wonder if they are more expensive to repair when they get hit by a truck. And you can be assured it will happen some day. Not being negative but rather speaking from experience. And to those who commented on this being a big station for one rig you can rest assured that there will be rigs there in the future as the area expands. Its important to build for future expansion and glad to se that it is being done. I remember when that area had nothing but a few small farms and ranches and far from any city like infrastructure. I was born and raised in the Denver area so have seen huge changes and there are more to come. It almost makes me wish I was still working.

[@DistrictFire]

Six bedrooms only. Maybe a medic but doubtful on a Truck Company. Those bifold doors are great.

[@JohnHallgren]

Bifold doors are extremely unlikely to be hit because of how quickly they move out of way. Can’t drive out and clip light bars or such. Annual maintenance costs are very minimal compared to roll ups. Initial cost is quite high but offset by much longer life.

Question: one of the things mentioned a couple times during the tour was cancer prevention. Can someone explain a bit of how these new station design elements play into that??

[@Legoboy3998]

As the "Hot Zone Design" showed at 15:19, the apparatus bay, and anywhere where bunker gear and anything else that may be contaminated from the carcinogens in fire smoke, are kept separate and isolated from the living quarters of the station. Similar to how departments are "deconning" on scene and some departments are keeping dirty bunker gear out of the cab, "clean cab", and storing it in compartments in the body of the engine.

[@johnbratley6926]

From the UK, that's the sort of station we can only dream of. I am surprised that a first turn appliance could respond with only a crew of 3. Here in the UK a first turn rescue pump should have 5 riders but can turn out with 4. Due to severe financial constraints we are seeing some weird and wonderful shift patterns. The worst is called low level area response. The firefighters work a 96 hours continuous shift. 12 hours on 09.00 to 21.00 whole time and then 12 hours retained but living on station in individual flatlets. They can leave the site but be no more than 1 minute 30 seconds away.

[@DistrictFire]

There was 4 on that Engine. They are moving water at a fire. UK appliances can have multiple disciplines and don’t use an aerial device like we do correct?
