[@rs232killer]

Wow. Awesome capability wrapped up in that one truck. I've never seen that many rescue tools on a rig. Two hydraulic power units, four hydraulic hose reels - each with a tool, plus the electric tools. It has been a while since I was on the job, but back then it was only the big urban departments that had the heavy rescue trucks, is this getting more common in the suburbs and rural areas?

[@ml9867]

I like the surface mount/ambulance style warning light bars on the sides of the cab to give space for the light tower.

[@Carterthielftw_]

I was wondering what product those bars were. I guess I just never made the connection with ambulance bars.

[@Jimmythefish577]

The battery operated tools are heavier because they carry their own hydraulic oil reservoir, they are handy but the are quite a bit heavier than the ‘traditional’ VX tools that use umbilical hydraulic hoses. But it’s nice to have the best of both worlds.

[@ItsGiantCookie]

I like the electric ones for tight situations and the regular ones for calls where I have space

[@rondohunter8966]

Years ago I went with a buddy on a body call: His family owned the local funeral home in our little country town and occasionally he'd ask me to go help him recover a body. This time a couple good ol' boys coming around the corner into town a little too fast on wet road from a recent rain, had a little too much to drink and went into the ditch, header into a concrete culvert, no seat belts. Obviously there was no hurry but we had to wait for the fire truck to get there with the jaws to cut open the car so we could get the driver out. It was apparent he died of a broken neck. For him I guess it was a good thing cause they didn't have the proper connections for this pump to those jaws or something. Eventually four of us just used a long steel pry bar to open it up enough to get him out. Other guy head butted the windshield and suffered massive facial injuries from the metal dash. Ah the good old days of metal interiors and leather/vinyl seats, no pesky seat belts to restrict one's movement.

[@Pyro978]

@@rondohunter8966 Did the car have one of those metal bumpers that weigh almost as much as today's car lol. Good ole days when they built cars to be solid not knowing it made things worst for folks in the cabin when accidents happen.

[@rondohunter8966]

@@Pyro978 This was about 1976 or so, so I suppose it probably did. Was not a new car, we had to bend metal instead of composite to extract the deceased. A set of working jaws could just cut the left front windshield frame, door frame and possibly rear window frame and bend the entire roof to the side. Like I said, he wasn't going anywhere and there was no real hurry.

Compared to a similar truck in germany you have very less equipment on your car, in germany every small gap is used to store another different tool. If you want to see how it looks over here i can suggest you a video from the channel "Feuerwehr Willi". The video is called "MEGA Rüstwagen - die "eierlegende Wollmilchsau"! FF WEISSENFELS (Teil 1/2)" It's on german but if you wanna get some impressions how the stuff is stored i would suggest that. P.S. nice design :D

I remember my dad telling me that my town’s ambulance squad had a ‘70s Ford F-600 walk-in rescue truck. Appearently, it had hydraulic brakes instead of air brakes. So, when the truck was at the end of its life span, the engine would cut out when they were halfway down the driveway, which they had to frantically restart the truck in order to stop. Wish I could’ve seen that lol

So sad that we have become a nation of overweight/obese people that we don't even have fitness requirements to be maintained in police and fire departments anymore. Just get fat, have health related problems, blame it on the job and get full disability payments at 35 or 40. The city dept, where I live you see police and fireman 40 lbs and MORE overweight. It's disgusting That is pretty much the norm all across the country. Now even members of the military are this over weight. Were screwed as a country and people complain about health care cost.

Good idea using the true fuel for the gas powered saws, it may be expensive at like four dollars a bottle but it saves so much time and money and headache in the long run with not having to constantly rebuild or replace carburetors.

[@richardallison8745]

I am retired from the fire service as an officer and the costs of these apparatus is out of hand. Property taxes and fire dues are high enough as it is. The question is, do we need that much of a rescue truck or is it that is what we want to have. I'm surprised there are not two axles on the rear to make it real heavy.... Where is the ceiling on this kind of thing. Twenty or thirty years ago we did with a lot less and still got the job done. Then the argument is we have lots more calls. Advanced life support can be done on a pumper and if you need rescue equipment, it can be loaded on a ton truck chassis. I think a million dollars can be better spent elsewhere in the department. Let the arrows fly!!!!

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We appreciate all the in put from all people and experiences

[@RespectableRSYt]

I don't think every station needs a Medium / heavy rescue but having them allows for less rescue equipment to be on engines in the area knowing they have a bigger rescue comming. That said I find they're "redundancy" ridiculous here. Two full sets of hydraulic tools plus a batter combi. That's taking things to far. Same with the saws. Why have 4 different chainsaws? As a station running a rescue like this I gotta say they've wasted a ton of space on repeat stuff.

I find it strange to see that this heavy rescue vehicle has just as many tools as a normal European (Dutch) fire engine, yet it costs more than three times as much, it is much bigger, and a regular dutch fire engine has much more equipment for firefighting, hazmat and water rescue. Compared to a dutch Heavy Rescue (Dutch: Hulpverleningsvoertuig / HV), our vehicles carry so much more specialised equipment, for example: truck crane, horse pants (for lifting), big tent, hydraulic rescue tools (like yours, but more), plasma cutter, a lot of different saws and cutters, stabilisation material, shoring tools for buildings, rescue platforms for high trucks, a lot of ropes and straps, hydraulic lifting equipment and a lot more, still, a truck like this costs only around 700.000 euro's.

[@2Fast4Mellow]

Those red lights in the back, are those heated lights or are they put there to prevent too much (white) light in the cab during nights which can create annoying relfections? I love how all these companies have different configurations of trucks. Do these departments also share designs with each other or is it every department for themselves? Maybe you can do a factory tour with one of the builders like E-ONE and walk us how they approach such a project. How do they combines the wishes of the (fire/ems) department with new tech? Love your channel. Episode are very informative and very professionally produced. Also thumbs up for the station crews which most of them seem pretty natural in front of a camera. We did a promational video a few weeks ago at the office to attract some more job applicants. Was an idea of the HR manaher. We (mostly me) were absolutely terrible ;-)

[@ml9867]

The red lights aren't heated. Fire trucks & some other emergency vehicles have them in the cabs to see stuff, but not lose your nighttime vision. White lights inside are difficult to drive with, but I leave the red one on while I'm driving so in can see all of the equipment switches better.
