I really think you should add a ride along series where you just pick a random station and shift to spend the day with like the day in the life videos but just running calls and stuff that would be awesome
@QemeH3 жыл бұрын
I think a lot of the Battalion Chief cars and certainly the PIO cars are fitted with dash cams 24/7 and the more interesting calls are displayed in the PIO vlog regularly. I don't know how interesting it would be to see a ladder respond to 4 medicals, 2 false alarms, 1 dumpster fire and 1 minor car crash with no injuries...

@QemeH3 жыл бұрын
@@JackR_TV Well, the main factor in how busy a station is turns out to be population density. Because the meassure for how many stations there are is usually area and the meassure for how many calls you get is usually population. So the more population you have per area the busier your stations will be. Also, it is a worldwide trend (given that the country in question does fire fighting and EMS by the same agency) that way over 80%, in most areas even above 90%, of calls are medical or "medical-adjacent" (e.g. a helpless person, social problems, etc.). I even work for an EMS provider that is not a fire departement and the fire fighting in my area is purely voluntary. So to put this into perspective: Our medic unit runs about 7 to 12 calls in any 24-hour-period, while the fire apparatus doesn't run that in a month.

Any agency can make a request through their assigned Interagency Dispatch Center to access federal resources which includes air and interstate resources.
