Velocity® Non-Walk-In Heavy-Duty Rescue - Walkersville, MD

We are walking laps around Walkersville Volunteer Rescue Company #Velocity #NonWalkInHDR!
This apparatus creates an outstanding workspace for their firefighters with an expansive crew cab and FOUR awnings. Their awning configuration provides the ability for extension in locations that would previously be hindered by only having one large awning. The Will-Burt Night Scan Light and Vertical Tower Mast will provide optimal visibility during nocturnal responses. A Lazy-Susan tool mount will store hydraulic tools for rapid deployment. Their local school mascot in #WalkersvilleMD is a lion and is included in their department’s graphics. #FDIC2024 #ChargingForward

Pierce sales rep sees a volunteer department coming, straight away pulls out the rotators.

[@notlisted-cl5ls]

lolololo. true. stoopid vollys

[@ghostyfirebuff]

Do you mean roto rays because there are no rotators

[@caseyhopkins100]

I can't wait to see a response video with all the lights on

Causing another twenty accidents besides the one they were responding to because oncoming traffic gets blinded.

[@tvb3265]

well might be hard to catch, they only get 3 runs a year

[@RealJeep]

@@tvb3265 We ran 3 runs before dinner. Big difference between a vollies parade rig and a working rig.

[@Gregwing]

@@RealJeep And there are some Volunteer companies that run circles around paid companies with call volume and performance. Don't act like your so special.

[@chazman4461]

The warm water decon and rinse was a fantastic idea. Nice job thinking outside the box.

[@fredcsensits4476]

Glad the community supports this organization as all the excess on this truck that doesn't really have any functionality. Waiting to see the first truck with triple roto rays and double Q s with train horns

[@canman7432]

Mount Horeb in Wisconsin ran dual Q sirens on their rigs for years. There's gotta be close to an extra $20k in emergency lighting on the front of that rig alone. Standard NFPA lighting requirments work just fine. I used to sell Pierce apparatus, there is actually an option called the "Maryland Package" for emergency lighting on front to include Roto Rays, MARs lights, etc. it's ridiculous.

[@robtman9199]

What an outstanding rig, the best to the Fire Service and town for many years of service.

[@buck2206]

Warm water for DECON?!?!?! Oh yeah, I'm loving this BEAST!!!!❤❤❤

[@americanoutdoorsman_1133]

They must have an unlimited budget indeed!!

[@tsaffran]

I know they have awesome carnivals every year glad to see it's well spent

[@connorgiove7090]

Thats our rescue!!!

[@fireplugrm]

Only fluff I would have added is two more Roto-Rays on the front of the truck. Anything with light and motion that can get a driver’s attention is a big help. Amazing how many people pull out in front of emergency vehicles every day. This is one nice toolbox.

[@krisone63]

Sure they do but it's regardless of how many whoopie lights you have on your vehicle, they'll pull out because they are not paying attention. So keep adding lights and they'll still pull out in front of you.

[@atlchris81]

Beautiful truck, but I think this guy needs some oxygen!

[@FeartheCyr611]

YES! was looking forward to this one ever since I saw the first pic on Facebook! Can't wait to see it in person soon!

[@peteriwanow7716]

That is absolutely outstanding!! Godspeed to all of those who serve as volunteer firefighters, rescue personnel🙏. Stay safe out there.

[@willshowman4575]

It would be cool to nap in the back of that truck. FDIC better check to make sure im not back there when the lights go out for the night!

[@amitmitra6487]

That's a gorgeous looking truck....love the color and design enhancements. I like Roto-Rays...so two excites me a lot. Can't wait to see all the lights turned up.

[@steelpenny7056]

Cherry, good to see you are still hard at it. Ben a looong time since I was a member there. Great to see a big new Rescue24Squad. Glad to see rear steer on that beast, I was wondering where the Tiller would sit LOL. You all stay safe down there. God Bless...

[@tsaffran]

Nice Rescue, United's going too be pretty jealous

[@FeartheCyr611]

I'll say!

[@smiley1914]

I used to be a volunteer firefighter for Prince Georges county. I am a fan of the heavy rescue squad, but I am not a fan of the 300 gallon water that you carry on the rescue squad. I get it. Every department is different and every need is different different. When I was with PGFD. a truck company was a truck company a engine company was a engine company a heavy rescue company was a rescue company no cross breed equipment 😊😮

[@happycommentator6773]

I was never a fan of a "wet squad". Now, iirc back in the 50's,60's, Cottage City had a Seagrave sedan style squad that was "wet". I was a member there 93 to 2000.👍🇺🇸

[@smiley1914]

@@happycommentator6773 I was young when I join Station six and Prince Georges County. It’s funny now because my mother she did not want to sign the paperwork for me to be volunteer. I had to get my aunt to forage my mother’s name so I can join. I have no regrets love and respect Department 100% and miss it

[@dbwater5154]

Please make another video show casing all the lighting functionality and features please. And even a compare and contrast video to the truck that this one replaces!

@@jameshawk1877 all of the show stuff has nothing to do with life safety. Actually they could have brought more life safety equipment for a lot of the show stuff on this rig . This is a volunteer department. I think I would have opted for full time personnel instead of this truck honestly.

[@reynoldsa21]

@@jameshawk1877 I think the biggest problem is they opted for a ton of cosmetic options that have nothing to do with the performance of the apparatus or its crew. Those options aren’t cheap and probably made this piece far more expensive than it needed to be.

[@anthonywc-mf2pv]

They were really looking online when ordering it, were going like: “Double Roto-Rays? Gotta have that *click*” “Blacked out? Yes please *click*” “Everything else? God yes. *click*”

[@smeador00]

Anyone get the feels that this is just a “look at how much we spent!” video? My local department never seems to have enough, or so they say. Keep getting raises, new tucks, etc… when is enough, enough?

Well if you are gonna do two Roto-Rays, why not 6 of them? You could have one pointing up for the helicopters to see. You could have one in the rear, all amber to warn incoming traffic.

Not a fan of pump/water. Use a 70 gallon CAFS system, much smaller. The pump and hose took up an entire compartment

[@Truck_71]

As long as they have room for what they need it doesn’t matter but say you need more storage for something else that would be better in some cases

Spinning roto rays have to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen on the front of a fire apparatus. Especially in this day and age when we have so many better options to choose from.

[@stephenhanneken3041]

Two Roto-Rays seems to be a substitute for Viagra. I have found one of these to be blinding to oncoming traffic especially when combined with headlight flashers. This will not be twice as effective at making the idiots on the road move over more often. They're all in their own universe. Good luck, ladies and gentlemen!
