Boston FIRE R1 E10 TL3 H4 responding to the box call for a duck boat on fire in the charles river

[@firewrx612]

There was initially some confusion as to what the incident was and whether it was a technical rescue or not. We were on the phone with dispatch while they were receiving updates. When it was confirmed to be a tech rescue they dispatched the rest of the tech rescue companies. That's why it looked slow.

[@Unknown_Ooh]

I can see the dispatchers face when he paused to think about "duck boat fire" for a split second lol

[@MrTenor-ch5gs]

0:25 wow they used the fire pole that's really cool

[@MrEngine8firefighter]

i love the station really cool response, great video

[@robertsickinger2099]

That Duck Boat must have been well done by the time they got there.

[@haiden_07]

And why do you need so many trucks for a duck boat they are not big at all😂

[@Skitch11YT]

@@haiden_07 exactly why do they need it for one duck and the fire truck can’t even float 😂🤣😂🤣

[@tommygallagher2542]

So basically they were there they were just not sure if it was a tech rescue or not that’s why it took so long to dispatch the tech rescue companies. Rescue 1 and Tower 3 are the tech rescue companies

[@claydogs123]

for everyone commenting on there turn out time if you listen to the video the dispatcher only dispatches a few of the station units which is r1 and eng10 with the bat then truck 3 and h4 get called I have to say eng 10 did take a long time seeing that truck 3 got dispatched after them

[@justinthyme8931]

yeah and the tower left before the engine. keep exploring Clay, this is pathetic.

[@frankgrimesification]

I like the way people in Boston say "chowder".

[@thomastaylor1421]

It wasnt a tech rescue at 1st, so e10 TL3 would not of responded. Once it becomes a tech rescue they would hence the delay

[@Ukraine2011]

What is a duck boat??? I heard the term when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup, Is it a boat that tugs larger boats into harbor? That last one out looks more like a beer truck than a fire truck

[@Paulolegoproductions]

They are old WWII amphibious boats that give tours of the Boston Harbor, the tour starts out on land and then you take a dip in the river, a must do if your ever in Boston!

[@Ukraine2011]

Paulo Rodriguez Oh, ok, must be one of them armored personell carrier things with wheels on it that also goes in the water, i may have seen one on Revenge of the Nerds, and didnt realize what it was, thanks

[@marloostanfield1036]

Unfortunately bro it carries people on it.I think their death traps if u ask me.2 people perished in PHILADELPHIA 3 yrs ago.Its a truck with wheels that can drive on the street like a truck but can drive like a boat in the water.......

[@TheSjuris]

Paulo Rodriguez or in the Wisconsin Dells. Considering that’s where the idea originally came from.

[@larryrwendelljr4465]

Nice capture of a full response.

[@joshw1687]

It's sucks that the real R1 was in the shop during this. But nice grab of all the units responding

[@FIRESPAHK]

It did rescue 1 is my baby love when I see here lol

[@joshw1687]

Last time I was in Boston I saw the real R1 responding alone somewhere. It was cool to see

[@FIRESPAHK]

Josh W i was out Sparking with my friend and i hopping to see it but nothing. last time i saw was in south boston at the st.paddy's parade

[@EmergencyGuy]

It DOES suck.

[@donnaraheapearson5683]

Why did hazmat 4 went the other way?

[@albertomadeirajr7671]

Did E10 responded to the original call with E3 and the Truck and what about HAZMAT 4 another call??

[@FIRESPAHK]

thats was not haz-mat E10 TL3 R1 H4 (Tunnel Unit) and the district chief all respond to a duck boat on fire in the charles river

[@tobycameron317]

***** What does the "H" of H4 mean? And which chief was that, who rolled out with R1?

[@FIRESPAHK]

Toby Cameron Division 1. i don't know what the H stand for but i'll ask my friend thats on rescue 2

What is a duck boat, I'm thinking one of those peddle boats, but is it like an army duck?

[@ABMP4D3]

Does a one legged duck swim in a circle?

[@thenussbaum44]

I love how everybody's an expert I'm how long should take these guys to get out. maybe you should think that they got toned out at different times and maybe they're going on different calls. Some stupid people comment on these things.

[@alexking2684]

What is H4?

[@avenger007007]

The others left and turned right. That last one turned left, were they confused?

[@FIRESPAHK]

there was another way to the scene..

[@joshw1687]

+FIRESPAHK yeah, it depends on which roads are generally free or what's faster to get there.

[@ArmEConDoesMinecraft]

avenger007007 also depends on what roads you are taking. Some ways might be faster, but larger vehicles cant fit down those roads

[@rescue911.eu-worldwideemer3]

Very nice

[@Mrx122ful]

we are a very small volunteer fire dept and have a better turn out time. our FIRST engine normaly responds after 2-3 minutes. but it always depends on what time, day or night, weekend, what kind of call and where our szene is located. so on the highway we are most of the calls quicker than in the local area. but this depends on the traffic sorry for my bad english, i am from austria

[@BumberenzoTheFireTruck]

I like the first truck.

[@gregcarson1843]

That hazmat truck is old

[@chrisphillips8956]

I believe 60 seconds is the average turn out time out dept is at 30 seconds to 50 seconds at the most to leave

[@chaoszombie9995]

Was it one of those calls for the entire station to respond to?

[@mikekocher1118]

The rescue truck isn't a pierce it says E One right the front grill

[@FIRESPAHK]

YEE YEE the pierce was getting work on and that’s was an old reserve rescue they had.

[@mikekocher1118]

@@FIRESPAHK welp I appreciate you clearing that. Next please put like reserve rescue 1 or sum. But gear vid man

[@TheWpafirephotograph]

Got a Q on that truck & don't even use it 😠

[@MrTenor-ch5gs]

That's what Im saying like bro crank that q up

[@centralnewyorkresponses7887]

Uhh the rescue is not a pierce in this video. It’s an eone

[@bigman10239]

interesting how cities like Boston don't have the station numbering system Los Angeles has, and how a unit like rescue 1 is housed at station 10, where as station 88 in LA (Sherman Oaks) has Engines 88 & 288 Truck 88 Rescue 88 and rescue ambulance 88

[@joshw1687]

Boston runs only 2 rescue trucks. Rescue 1 is the rescue truck downtown

[@corneliolopez8733]

Josh Wn j

[@joshw1687]

***** u live in a small town or a city? City's mix numbers on trucks all the time

[@joshw1687]

+JuszCause it varies place to place. I think LA runs units that have similar numbers but only in what they call a light force. For example, truck 38 and engine 338 is a light force in LA and would respond together if the light force is dispatched to a call.

[@bigman10239]

LAFD numbers units by station....for example, truck 27, engine 27, engine 227, rescue 27, rescue 827, and usar 27. The only exceptions are command vehicles, boats, and helicopters.
