A Fire Chief’s Perspective

[@gtrboy518]

You should check out Saginaw City MI Central Station 1. It’s a pretty old Station. Also Detroit FD Houses are super cool. Lot’s of old Fire Houses with amazing history behind them.

[@benwatters9255]

Great show as always thanks for coming to Michigan my department is about 25 miles away from kentwood I listen to them all the time there a busy department with mutual aid to Wyoming, Cutlerville, Dutton and your hometown Mike Grand Rapids and there own calls very busy department can’t wait to see more Michigan episodes coming soon thanks.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Send us an invite and maybe with our next trip to Michigan we can come see you and your station

[@mpwotdors626]

If you could you should try one in Pasadena md. Jacobsville just opened a brand new station

[@AustinKDG]

Didn't know you were from GR! We should get you up to the Sault. Professional department operating in a 1907 fire station

[@samishatara7943]

Thank you Kentwood FD!

[@michiganfirebuff]

You should check out Dearborn fire station they have really cool fire trucks and cool crews and Detroit has some good trucks also

[@HeroesNextDoor]

All we need is an invite to schedule another trip. We hit up the west Michigan this trip but maybe eastern side our next. Or even northern

[@scottstewart3884]

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who's mind wandered back to "Emergency!" when seeing the "51" on the rigs. >Grin

[@chriswilson9230]

Awesome station. Great to see the firehouse kept up in the condition that it is. So many departments want the glamour and glitz to have the biggest and the best. The bunk room is great; I’m a believer in the open bunk room concept. And an awesome display of the helmets from Emergency. Just noticed that this is Station 51.

[@احمدنايعبدالمنعم]

I LOVE THE FAIRE THANK YOU FOR WATCHIN

[@theprypt8135]

Been watching your videos ever since I joined the local fire department a year ago, and so glad you came back home to Michigan! Keep up the great videos, thanks for all you do!

[@MarinesBlood]

That's really cool. I am pretty sure I have seen some of those trucks in person a couple years ago.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Thanks for watching

[@mattgist9232]

Spartan Engines are gorgeous!

[@FighterOfTheFire]

Absolutely awesome! When you get back over to Pennsylvania, you should look into covering the United Fire Company in Montrose, PA. I belong to a neighboring station, Rush Fire Department, and we just recently helped United celebrate their 175th anniversary! There were somewhere around 20 departments that sent apparatus to participate in United’s parade! Keep doing awesome things!!

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We can make that happen. We need and invite to schedule it. Are you part of the department?

[@FighterOfTheFire]

@@HeroesNextDoor I am not a member of that company, however I am close with a member who is one of the museum’s caretakers and knows a lot about the history of the company! I will pass on this information and I do hope that they reach out to you!

[@sheagoff6009]

@@henryfreeman6113 he works in the offices at station five. He’s not a firefighter/paramedic anymore. He’s an inspector/investigator. Which means he goes out to different business and places to make sure they are fire safe. And when there’s a fire he goes and investigates the cause.

QRS unit is a foreign word in the mass/RI area. Not sure the blanket “east coast” statement is the best to portray the difference in regions. Excellent video non the less
