Seattle FD Rescue 1, Ladder 5, Battalion 6, Safety 2 & Medic 44 responding! (+ Fireboat 2 on scene)

Impressive lineup on the catch Lucas, especially on scene footage. Highlight of course was the fire boat!

[@lucaslaughing]

Thanks Jeff! I agree, I love it when I get a chance to see one of the boats.

[@michaelacookePDX]

Good video. I make it up to Seattle from Vancouver a few times a year and always love seeing SFD.

[@lucaslaughing]

Thanks for watching!

Great catches; you must've driven straight down the hill to get there ahead of L5! Fireboat 2 sounds like it sports some pretty beefy powerplants!

[@lucaslaughing]

Thanks Craig! L5 was heading westbound down 85th, the same route I took, so I'm not sure how I beat them. My guess is that Golden Gardens Drive might be too much for even the tiller to handle (maybe that hairpin turn by the overflow parking), so they must have gone down 32nd to 61st? Not sure. And I agree about the boat - definitely sounds like it has some power to it!

[@SeattleResponses]

Nice catches, Lucas! Saw this one last night and started listening to it. I knew that you’d try to be out there getting some units! As for the new R1 coming back, all of us West Seattle buffs have got info that it will not be coming back any time soon sadly.

[@lucaslaughing]

Thanks! Interesting about the R1 rig - do you know what's going on with it? Just bad mechanical problems?

[@petewilliamsiv3512]

@@lucaslaughing what i heard was they were adding Stuff the Rescue and the Folks at the Shop noticed some cracks on the rig some it will be some time before Rescue 1 "Main Toy" is Back

[@SeattleResponses]

well this comment aged well

[@zachdavis1282]

R1 running a spare? Still having issues w/the front line rig?

[@lucaslaughing]

Apparently - one of the other comments said they heard it'll be out of service for a while...

[@dangerousrobot9692]

If that boat is Seattle Fire Department how does it have blue emergency lights on it? Do the rules about law enforcement only being allowed to use blue flashing lights only apply to motor vehicles or something?

[@lucaslaughing]

Not positive, but my guess is that maritime lighting laws differ from land based laws, since all of the SFD boats have blue lights. The Fire Marshal SUV also has red and blue lights, but I'm guessing that's because they're law-enforcement adjacent. Thanks for watching!

it's sad to say that Golding Garden is a notorious is on high Repose Listed xD
