We did miss that! At 18:54 you'll see some amber colored rectangles in a line surrounded by chrome. Those are the directional lights that are controlled by the Engineer. They can signal traffic to go right, left or split. There are also a couple different caution flash patterns. We'll demo the directional lights in a future video!

The weird tones at the end were being transmitted because the regular station alerting was down for maintenance. The back up method includes those sounds which can also be heard over the SMFR Dispatch radio channel.

Do the new PUC pumps need to be " "tank to pump" circulated during cold weather or does it have sufficient heat capabilities for the tank not to freeze? Rigs in the good ole 70s & 80s in Alaska pretty much required it!
@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO2 жыл бұрын
Great question! SMFR's Cold Weather Operations guideline does include the need to open tank to pump and tank recuirculation or refill valves and leave them open to create thermal circulation with warm tank water. Additionally, apparatus with pumps can only leave their stations for emergencies when the outside temperature is 20°F, all discharge and intake valves are drained to prevent freezing... Really not excited for winter now!

@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Жыл бұрын
@@Heart723NTDV Great question! Yes, the Engineer will drain all of the discharges and make sure there's no water in the threads/caps that could freeze. Once they arrive at an incident scene the Engineer will open the tank to pump valve and circulate the water. The friction heats it up and the movement helps prevent ice build up.

Wondering what the cost of the truck was, also do you have a generator, I see a electic fan but do not remember any mention of a power source. Also, do you have any portable scene lighting in case you need lights say in the rear of a structure and do you carry an AED.

Is it normal for your engines not to carry a rotary saw and a Zoll monitor?
@lynx93732 жыл бұрын
Rotary saws are often restricted to ladders and rescues in larger departments and Zoll/Lifepaks are seen as ALS monitoring tools that are usually only present on designated medical units (Like Ambulances or Paramedic trucks). Both of these are products of cost effectiveness; why put every tool on every truck when you can spread them out and have a negligible drop in performance?
