If you ever make your way out to California. You should try to set up a station rig tour with a Cal Fire station that has a Dozer! It’s something special to see a tractor trailer hauling a dozer while running code 3 on the roadway, haha! He forgot to mention when talking about where they draft from. A swimming pool can also be used! So if you live out in a wild land zone. Be prepared that one year you may or may not get your swimming pool emptied 😂

43:40 I’ve heard the emergency shelters referred to as “shake & bakes”. The fire department where I live has at least one wildland truck, assigned to them by the state, that can be used for daily use by the department for wildland type fires, but the truck and assigned personnel can be deployed anywhere it is needed, including out of state. I live in Texas, but it is very common to see these interagency trucks driving around our town from many states away. We do have a sort of “wildland”base here, where these trucks stage for any fires that pop up.

SMFR is an amazing department, and where it's located is amazing. I'm in the SMFR District, which covers 3 counties, land ranging from rural open land, to dense forest, even suburban / densely populated area. Whole district is over 300 square miles, 30 stations cover all of that land too.

Now that I watch the rest of your video I see that you're doing it the right way so in the other pond where the community where the community fish are put some cinder blocks and then take your live rock and put it over the cinder blocks trust me your grouper and bigger fish will love so basically all you got to do is put cinder blocks in there just a few I put four in mine in a square then I put all the all the rocks over the cinder blocks and decorated it it was badass

aahhh it's just an ever-so-slight remix of a CAL FIRE Model 34 spec with a few lighting changes, and one or two compartmentalizational differences (double doors or slide out). The no-tailboard is a bold choice.

Another California related comment, you should definitely visit Alameda County Fire Dept in Northern California just south of Oakland and East of San Francisco, they have a lot of specialty units including: Swift Water Rescue, Hazardous Materials Team, Dozers, and Heavy Rescue. Overall it’s a really cool Department that would be a cool feature on this channel!

For wildland fires there is nothing better than TATRA Force chassis, if you're talking about "the world", and I bet these guys don't build on them. And anyway, when talking about "the world" don't forget that almost nobody uses American style fire engines outside of north America.

Has any fire department looked at the newer battery operated chainsaws? They have some out there that meet or exeed the power of a gas saw! These saws would be good to use in close to a fire or hotspot, and you're not carrying flammable fuel into the fire!
@chriswilson923010 ай бұрын
Our county FD also has the battery powered extrication tools and fans. Both are receiving initial good feedback, although they are pricey.
@jimmyssnowremoval107510 ай бұрын
Think departments also are looking more at run time, even though they’re good for environment and all. But the price for battery run times aren’t there yet. But also looking electric Tesla’s burn hotter and longer.
@eriksand926210 ай бұрын
I’ve seen them on type 1 engines. I think when dealing with wild land rigs they would stick with gas. They probably wouldn’t want to carry around all the extra batteries while trekking through the vegetation.

Use motorola apex, our radios are programmed to work in a system that works in a 3rd world country. Ours now just got updated to state forestry and will be updated soon to surrounding counties. Love these new radios, i got promoted to Lt. So my radio number changed and all the radio shop did was push a update to my radio, where as before we had to swap out our radio to change ID number or turn it into the radio shop. Now any changes we just call the radio shop and they push a update.
