I was like “this looks familiar” and I realized I 10 minutes away down the road 😂

[@organbleed]

We have uncovered Heros Next Doors' twin brother, the EMS Chief.

[@k9officerft434]

Yea

[@michaeldouglas26]

Great video! Looks a lot like the setup we have in Ireland. Though, our '16 trucks have about 240k miles on them, not 70k!

[@Everythingguy33]

I pass that station all the time when visiting family

[@peterarvanitis6497]

Beautiful looking building excellent clip

[@ronaldweasley6175]

damn that ems station is a dream compared to mine lol. 90% of my station is garage space and the rest is for the the pencil pushers. although we’re out in a super busy area running 40k ems runs a year so i can relate with spending my whole 24 hour shift in the rig.

[@teleurgesteld]

Awesome ambulances, whish we had such cool equipment (and Emergency Light System) in Europe!

[@rantovicannato9046]

Yeah, i'm glad that in Europe they chose more and more light and sounds like in the US.

[@RandomTrinidadian]

Okay..... its just really weird to see a Mercedes Sprinter Ambulance in America.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Hahaha yeah it’s not super common here, but some stations have them

[@Julian_Bolt]

I live in California and my county is covered by American medical response and all our ambulances are sprinters

[@lucasdennis1952]

I live in nz and we have a van ambulance and we got Mercedes sprinter vans and 2 box one and two vans

[@RandomTrinidadian]

We have Sprinter ambulances, but mostly used by the military/prision service. Most of the ambulances down her are either Toyotas or Nissans.

[@Julian_Bolt]

@@lucasdennis1952 oh cool

[@slender169101]

These are nice stations. But I'm not really big on the massive stations. In my county we are private EMS, so we share stations with firefighters but we have 3 of our own stations. I love the feeling of having one right at their own station where that crew has time to eat, sleep, train, and just relax while waiting for calls.

[@smoove_]

These videos are really interesting

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!

[@ibrahimibro9452]

Nice Sprinter

[@jeffhoward2079]

Mike, while a bit further away in Findlay, Ohio. You should check out Hanco EMS. Now owned by Blanchard Valley (Hospital) Health System it is the only EMS for the City of Findlay and Hancock County Ohio. This year is Hanco's 50th anniversary. They run ALS and BLS rigs out of two stations. I am one of Hanco's original crew from 1971 thru 1983 when we had 3 units, one Superior Coach van and two Superior Coach Caddy's

[@HeroesNextDoor]

That would not be a bad idea please have them email us a [e-mail] so that we can work on a schedule.

[@dutchdiver0355]

nice to see how everthing is going on there! hire in the Netherlands things are diffrent! the way the people are living and working at the fire sation and the hospital, where our ambulances are set and leave for a 112 (911) call

[@ryanbraund1293]

Im shocked that through all of these videos an all of these comments, I havent seen anyone mention the subtle running theme of an extra 6" tall crew member who consistently appears in the background... Yall should do a contest based on accurately spotting his location in each and every one of these videos 🤣

[@HeroesNextDoor]

😉😜

[@thefamilyfrancos2678]

Hi I'm new you inspired me to be a firefighter engineer

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Thank you for watching and deciding to become the firefighter. That’s awesome

[@thefamilyfrancos2678]

Thx

[@edwardcollins7893]

I do have to ask if they work day and night where they sleep if there no bunk rooms?

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Chairs or don’t sleep.

[@jeremyt2644]

I'm french, really appreciate your videos, just would like to suggest to start by showing on a map the city where the station is.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We will look into that. Thank you for watching and that’s a great idea

[@firefighter113samoeun9]

Can you do a video of EMS Chief car

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Not from this station but will most definitely cover one

[@ohiofirebuff2279]

Are you going to go to the other stations

[@HeroesNextDoor]

No, we just did a drive-by of those to keep the time of the video where people like.

[@ohiofirebuff2279]

[@joshuagoldberg699]

I suddenly appreciate my company I’m with having 40 als 20 ils trucks on road at any given time for 500000 calls a year

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Where is this ?

[@lonewolf6364]

As EMT's, I assume being MICU they are all Paramedic EMT's?

[@HeroesNextDoor]

They run one EMT and one Medic to make up the MICU status

[@lonewolf6364]

@@HeroesNextDoor thanks mate. In Australia all our paramedic trucks 99.9% of the time are double crewed with Para's or IC Paras. Also, how can you tell looking at his uniform what skill set he would hold? - Here it is either a badge or eppaulette, etc. And thanks for the info! Interesting how it works!

[@HeroesNextDoor]

On the state patch, it says paramedic or emergency medical technician

[@lonewolf6364]

@@HeroesNextDoor thanks mate!!

[@benmccullough7820]

So in this situation what does the MICU stand for? The company I work for in Ohio has a MICU which is our mobile ICU. We have nurses on staff to handle higher level patients (severely sick, on a ventilator, etc.)

1500 calls a year is impressive and must be very busy especially only 4 stations running those calls

[@billysmith5977]

1500 a year isn’t that much, depending On the area covered. My local volunteer EMS squad does 3000 calls a year out of one station with 4 ambulances (sometimes only 3 are staffed all depends on when volunteers are available) and 1 fly car. They serve a population of nearly 50,000 people.

[@michaelborrello9944]

The PUBLIC should be funding Fire/EMS through TAXES, not bake sales and sketchy billing.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Yeah it just not work that way every where. Here where I have worked for 25yrs. There are NO tax dollars going to ems. The stations have to ask the townships and Boroughs for money each year and justify why over and over again.

[@ffjsb]

@@HeroesNextDoor And that's absolutely BULLSHIT that you have to beg for money. I wouldn't work for a community that treats Fire/EMS like that.

[@dominikr.7608]

Mhm, america. Where you have to subscribe for medical care. As an european I´m shocked. We call and 10min later the ambulance takes you to the hospital. For FREE!
