I love the old hand lettering.

[@jimpokorny4598]

Beautiful video. Thanks I enjoyed it a lot.

[@dennyfrontier]

I think it bothered that guy when you wanted to ring the bell haha

[@james8156]

So glad to see this nice man keep the history of the Seattle Fire Department going❤️❤️❤️

[@johnbarley8275]

An outstanding display of fire engines and truck.. If I live near this fantastic collection, I would definitely love to volunteer for you...

[@TheWpafirephotograph]

Very nice old rig's 🚒

[@oktfc1]

Have visited this spot, really neat. I impressed my guide as I knew the B Mack had a Hall-Scott engine and armstrong steering

[@johngenova3849]

Man that was an awesome video. I would love to volunteer, I live in sunny florida.

[@owensweetland342]

Thus the term "strike the box".

[@chriswilson9230]

I would move to Seattle just to volunteer in the museum.

[@daviemccallum7759]

This is a great video my dad was in the Fire service as well in Greenock Scotland were your first coast guard boat came from

[@ThomasMadness]

Yes

[@adamjones2025]

It maybe old but it was made to last.

[@Sipex6484]

Cool and sick.

[@jackhollandcsxnsandawvrfan3800]

4:12 Two Generations of Ladder One!

[@davidmanley9437]

So cool Sorry the city won't step up and help The $ would probably be recouped easily Very educational There is a large collection of several hundred vehicles in Phoenix Arizona and have gone several times Always learn something new

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

Yes, I've heard of that place. It's called the Hall Of Flame, and it's considered the largest firefighting museum in the world.

[@HighwayLand]

something good out of Seattle. Not sure how I found this video, but when I was watching it I was thinking this was made 10 or 15 years ago. Was this video honestly made in 2020?

[@johngenova3849]

Opps forgot the Sadly.

[@SuperHusky83]

Very impressive but sadly the city of Seattle will never allocate money for something this cool.

[@The_Dudester]

I truly hope that location is high enough to survive the coming mega tsunami. I would hate to see anything happen to those really great old trucks.

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

Something went wrong with the sound between 4:26 and 5:07. All of a sudden, the voices sounded very low and the music sounded very loud!

[@cmiddleton8575]

Great story but that reporter was annoying because whenever he did speak he sounded like was condecendingly and intentionally trying to sound like a facinated child.

[@AlaskaInMotion]

agreed

[@jimratliff2753]

Reporter indeed was bad. He needs to be on a playground. As to the rigs and story, yes, a shame to see a lack of Volunteers and a shame such cool history and relics are not appreciated more in Seattle. However, it is very clear in 2020 where Seattle is headed.....

[@Finnmarken91]

Thanks totally agree!

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

*fascinated

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

@@jimratliff2753 "However, it is very clear in 2020 where Seattle is headed...." What exactly did you mean by that?

[@shloomyshloms]

3:02 is the kids name skippy? if not it should be.

[@XboxSpartan05]

? it looks like your in a museum already

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

*you're

[@gearshifterg9756]

More video on the equipment and less chit chat.

[@brucebellinger9783]
