Great to see older apparatus still put to a good use.

[@stevelanning305]

I’ve ridden in open jump seats and on the tailboard plenty of times but never lined up on the hose bed….the good news is it looks like a crew of 20

[@30pvfd]

WTH 🤦

Read the description.

[@EmergencyGuy]

On this particular day, 19-21 fully kitted out (geared up) firefighters from both America and the Dominican Republic responded from the training ground to a real fire to put their training to the ultimate test.

[@thisissparta789789]

It was done quite a bit in some Northeast VFDs, especially on Long Island. There’s a documentary on the Baldwin FD from 1979 that shows guys from Hose Company 3 riding on the hose bed and grabbing gear on the side gear rack.

Some of those guys look very young, reminds me of the firefighters in the Philippines. Its nice to see young people get involved. Probably due in part to some countries less restrictive laws.

When I was active and just starting, I rode lots of tailboard and open jump seat, in Alaska(yes winter time to). Tail-boarding was finally quashed by OSHA in the late 80s but I rode in open jump seats until my department got its first fully enclosed cab apparatus! Good times!!

[@brandonseyfried1251]

Reminds me of the late 80s......running mutual aid to some neighboring town, old Scott SCBA on, looking over the cab roof and seeing the Column of Doom on the horizon. Jersey Shore firefighting at its finest.

Wherever that took place; most of the "drivers" were completely idiots. Refusing to get out of the fire truck's way and some morons actually pulled into their pathway. I certainly hope that was not in the U.S.A. although I have seen some drivers in the U.S.A. who are just as bad of drivers as were many in this video.

Canada and the US follows NFPA. The last time I read, they didn't follow them because they are not required to. They have their own regs.
