Fleet Friday - Tracked Vehicle 46

[@jacobcornelius1278]

Man he has PIO potential!! He really knows his stuff, and is very clear and precise!! I like it!

[@EBMisKing]

Jacob Cornelius he was awesome

[@poohbearmom64]

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Connor and Eric ... He comes across as very knowledgeable and if I were there... I would fully trust in his capabilities 👏👏👏🚒😎

[@BigDaddy0272]

Fun

[@sammitchell7310]

Why would he want a downgrade in his job?

[@braydenwinecoff8076]

Sam Mitchell I mean downgrade eh. Doesn’t have to work 24 hour shift. He doesn’t have to run medical calls. And get his on vehicle so.

[@alex_1798]

This is probably one of the coolest in your guys fleet

[@n150cz9]

Damn thats a good firefighter. Very knowledgeable and friendly I could see him being an officer. If not a PIO. Hell a chief someday. This is what all departments should teach. Not just the overall training but the familiarity of equipment and apparatus and every tool within the apparatus. And if they're mechanically inclined then they should know everything else about the interior of the apparatus. Good on you man! Stay safe!

[@CCGR-2024]

He made running around in it sound like fun! It is an interesting piece of equipment and unique as well. Thank you!

[@rickhoward2938]

Great job with the video, well delivered, spoken, informative description of your equipment. Looks like another PIO for South Metro

[@longviewstud26]

That's a sweet rig. Also love the carhartt duty coat!

[@SJMorgan7]

I love the intro the these videos, I always get a funny feeling when watching the intro

[@poohbearmom64]

Thanks for this video 😀 😎 I'm sure this is a very useful and important multi functional piece of equipment in your area during winter and during any major events that require the extra support, equipment, and options in case of emergency needs. This video is very well put together, highly informative, Firefighter Andrew Funk is an excellent speaker, a great narrator who is very knowledgeable about this piece of apparatus. Thanks 🚒😀

[@mochi6345]

Been to the ranch right next to the station, its pretty funny to see the Snowcat outside while on a horse

[@NAVYMEDIC610]

Beautiful , historic and awesome machine. Good to see it in action in a non military role after it was retired.

[@sammitchell7310]

It looks so goofy and cute :D

[@Carl-py4vi]

I'm loving fleet Friday, could you show more of the heavy rescue?

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

Hägglunds BV 206 are an amazing piece of equipment, they keep on going where a Unimog doesn't get any further; Many Swedish fire departments run them, also some services in other countries still have them

[@derKarl_stp]

a nice Hägglund BV206 you got there 👍

[@WayneTesta4444]

Another fantastic video I really enjoy all of the videos.

[@ronbriggs6905]

Such a neat unit but so valuable when needed

[@Sl5424]

it's just to thank the Swedes who built this :) im are really proud to see this over there

[@veramae4098]

Swedes do very cool survival stuff. Swedish FireSteel, unstoppable fire maker, made for their army.

[@e.g.o.m.e]

I would love to see more station tour videos, maybe on station 23

[@trob0914]

Used a rig just like this several times in Alaska( I thought it was manufactured by Bombardier of Canada), it officially was quartered at then Ft.Wainwright, near Fairbanks. Nice video!!

[@trob0914]

@KISHANTH JEYAMOORTHY I don't remember all specifics, you could be right(1980s). Bombardier has different divisions now, not sure what all they make anymore ( planes, ATVs, snowmachines??)All I know is the US Army had several. Thanks

[@loganwarren2606]

You should do some more day in the lives. I love the content!

[@wareen6563]

1987 Hagglunds BV206, one of the best Tracked Vehicle out there for sure..

[@jesuammuentes6898]

This intro is fire just like you and your channel

[@Vinlyguyx420x]

I always thought a fire truck was the most badass vehicle on the road.....Then I saw this!

[@hunterfarling2576]

If I were ever to be a firefighter which I probably will be I would defiantly want to work at South Metro Fire Rescue because I saw all your fleet Fridays and all your vehicles are super cool

[@minidriversouthsweden5137]

I’ve been driving one in the Swedish army and it was a fun thing to drive I would love to convert one to an all terrain mobile home in the back of the hägglunds

[@Thewiz729kdojdj]

this is really the most funded FD in the nation lol

[@MsCrazypiggy22]

Max Ackerman it definitely helps that a good portion of their area is in the 6th richest county in the nation 😂

[@yankee6851]

It’s not.

[@spencerberklite5118]

Max Ackerman I mean let’s not forget that LA County Fire has a budget of over $1 billion.

[@yankee6851]

Spencer Berklite FDNY has over $2B

[@MsCrazypiggy22]

One thing you have to look at with budgets for government agencies is the funding per citizen/firefighter too however. LA definitely has a bigger budget than this department but they have to use a lot more resources due to the scope they have to cover

[@tommy_64_20]

Cool! The Italian National Fire Brigade has quite a few of these vehicles, but I'm not sure if it's this same or another brand. We call them "bruco" which translates into "caterpillar"

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

I find it interesting that a department that operates red vehicles, would decide to paint this vehicle white. Given that it deals, primarily with snow / winter emergencies.

[@veramae4098]

Finland must have had something like this during the preWWII "Winter War". Kitchens hauled out to the front lines, even saunas, everyone had a hot meal a couple of times a week and into the sauna a couple of times a week! A major edge over the hungry and freezing Russian troops! Of course, the Finns also used reindeer to haul equipment when useful ... I'll bet you don't have any reindeer.

[@crocodile2501]

Nice to see some Swedish vehicles being used in the U.S. :)

[@catwithabat7163]

Yeeeeeeea boiii- **cutoff by hazmat as she screams out on a call**

[@MA9494AM]

It's Swedish and was built in Örnsköldsvik. Hägglunds built Bandvagn 202, Bandvagn 206, Pansarbandvagn 302 for the Swedish Armed Forces and later exported the 206 and variants of it to several European countries and others

[@Killmonize]

Very informative....learned so much.

[@seanconlin8712]

Thank you for the response I thought that there may have been a Ambulance style compartment that could be attached to it

[@danielwest1589]

Been waiting for this for ages!!!

[@heatherbassman4399]

It's like a big caterpillar I love it

[@seanconlin8712]

That is a really great piece of equipment could you put patient compartment on it

[@ngalex1981]

We also have that in Singapore

[@James68W]

Front cab interior gives me HMMWV vibes haha

[@FrassoFra]

Also Italian’s firefighters have this vehicle😍

[@cabellmercer]

Okay... that's sick

[@thomasdaily4363]

You're doing combat for sure. Just a different kind, with nobody shooting at you (hopefully).

[@matthewlassell]

On average how many times a year is this vehicle used for a call?

[@JJ-bi5qx]

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO does it have sirens? It would make sense if it didn't

[@dfw_fpis7655]

I'm just wondering why it wasn't painted a brighter color if it's main use is in snowy weather. Even the traditional red would be more eye catching in the snow.

[@alex_1798]

Can you guys do a fleet Friday on engine 61?

[@subscriber7462]

a fleet friday of Tower 18 would be awesome, is that the only rear mount tower or is there more?

[@sarahjohnston8206]

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@southwestfirebuff132]

U guys should do a fleet Friday of ladder 12

[@UnkleJustin]

Rad!!! Freaking rad!! 4 feet of snow right now in Northern NY state. Could use this rig. \m/ \m/

[@DIphone129]

UnkleJustin NYSP has one of these, or something very similar. I’ve seen it on display at the state fair. It’s usually up in the ADKs

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

If might be a good idea to write like a grown up.

[@johnturner2529]

My doubter loves firefighters.

[@nigelwilliams3616]

I think I've seen a suppression-capable version of these vehicles. Since this one doesn't have those capabilities, would it be a case of loading a portable pump, hose, tools, hydrant gear and maybe a portable water tank into the back if needed to access an otherwise inaccessible location?

[@nigelwilliams3616]

Thanks for the reply! I wondered whether it was an option. I'm sure I've seen versions that can deliver suppression with a variety of different systems including CAFS, Ultra High-Pressure misting & portable pumps. The TRV is a fascinating multi--role concept.

[@andrewswan2053]

Do rehab 12

[@StyxRiverGynoid]

"Snowcat"? Meh. That's a Bogtrotter. Nice to see one in the wild, she'll serve you guys well.

[@EricWhiteTheGamer]

I want to drive it and know I am only 15 years old!

[@duncankeuning3329]

The Dutch Marines still use this vehicle.

[@minecraftfirefighter]

dont they use something from volvo.

[@TheAndyMUC]

It’s called a Hägglund in Germany.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

not only in Germany, but everywhere ...

[@danskdennis190894]

Hägglund is the manufacturer who made it in Sweden the name is Bandvagn 206 (BV206). and some country is wrong whit the name link UK say Hägglund.

[@NYfirevideos]

Would this go our for wildfire calls to gain access access a remote area of it?

[@Alexx120493]

Is there any kind of vehicle you don't have? Never thought I would see a Bandvagn as a US fire department vehicle

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

there sure are things this department doesn't have. Not sure if they have a Large Capacity Ambulance Bus, but I'm pretty sure that they don't have sth like a Mobile Crane, Fire & Rescue Train, 2-Way Engine or Heavy Rescue, Nitrogen Vaporizer or Aerials in the 150' and above range

[@michaelt.9372]

Omg they're militarizing our fire departments now. Ridiculous. But seriously this thing is a beast.

[@Ryder0910]

It’s a rescue vehicle

[@brianap4520]

I can't help but feel like white is the least visible color for a blizzard response vehicle

[@johnnybellamy6094]

DO YOU HAVE A TRAILER TO TRANSPORT THAT ON

[@camden3957]

Johnny Bellamy yes they do.

Could it be used as rehab on like a snowy fire

Do a day in the life

[@LucasL512]

So, no siren on this thing I guess?

[@jarrythskeen8336]

👍🏼👍🏼🚒

[@michaelmartin8014]

Does anyone else think that this might be a good idea for a swat team NCAA remote area. Obviously they would have to up armor it but to me it seems like a good idea

[@TheJttv]

Why is it white tho? Seems kinda counter intuitive.

[@iamReddington]

White is just a clean look.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

@@iamReddington but not very useful when you operate in the snow...

He kept looking down

[@Habsification]

1 question remains, why white has the primary and not red has the rest of your apparatus? don't get me wrong I prefer the White to be the main colour on fire apparatus but looks goofy when the paint scheme isn't constant

[@Nick-bb4nk]

It's decreases the odds of the chief seeing them doing tricks and taking it off jumps in white-out conditions. Ingenious.

At first it kinda looked like a train
