STRUCTURE FIRE RESPONSE 6-10-2012 8535

[@FIREFIGHTER7147]

Jason, I started as a JRFF 33yr ago, I am 3rd Gen FF and now I have my 4 kids on the department along with my wife, oldest son is now a LT & EMT, and my two youngest are Juniors my daughter loves it. Our JR's ride the equipment to the scene and are limited to what they are allowed to do but it is the excitement that keeps them interested, 1 of my JR's just finished her EMT. JR's are our future if we are going to keep the vollie service alive!!!

[@ChiefsFireman]

Love the addition of the engine camera Jason, Not only does it give a different perspective to us, but its a Great tool for you as well to see how the drivers respond to the scenes.

[@PolishSk1ll]

Take care of your Juniors, I was a Junior at one point. Glad to hear some guys talking to them on the rig. Great response/video.

[@sfavre082371]

Jason, in my opionion, of ALL of your vids, THIS is the BEST yet bro. Not sure how things there work, but the BEST part of this vid is the big guy in blue from the ambulance crew. Here in coastal Mississippi, AMR is local ambulance staff. But that guy REALLY stepped up. Dragging lines and checking SCBA's and replacinging them. He is a TRUE member of the "safety first!!!!" team in my book bro!!!!! As a Chief, you BETTER be proud of your ENTIRE team brother! I would be a proud member!!!! Thank YOU

[@JASON8502]

He is a Lieutenant on our mutual aid department in the county, Bedford Fire Department. He was working EMS that day. He helps out when he works EMS too.

[@emtcrystal]

big guy in the blue shirt should be note for the help he did as an ems crew member. love seeing teamwork like that. well done guys

[@pizzasubs]

Greatest shot yet from the front of the truck, Like your Ford Explorer, bet you guys would love to get your hands on one of those NEW Explorers.

[@thalo215]

great video. probably the best so far. really shows how your crew runs a scene.

[@JASON8502]

Junior Firefighter. We have some of them, they are under 18 and still in school. If they have good grades then when they graduate they get a scholarship from us. They are allowed to assist on scenes but have limited duties. Age is 14 to 18. Most of them that start at 14 are certified Firefighters when they turn 18.

[@PeterLokey]

Love your video's jason and love the fact that you have a camera on the engine. Keep up the good work and keep the great videos coming.

[@JASON8502]

Kenwood, some of them have an identifier after you key up. It does not do that anymore for most of the radios

[@VicGord]

Great Video Jason can we see a tour of 8835 when your not too busy

[@JASON8502]

He is a Lieutenant on out mutual aid department in the county, he was working EMS that day.

[@gammafirebug1]

I'm a firefighter too, and I understand the urgency.. What kind of truck do you have that can take corners like that?? 65 in a truck is pretty fast depending how you have it set up.. Not bitching, that was a hell of a ride I just saw...That rig is smooth as hell around those corners, I'm impressed

[@medic12961]

awsome video jason love the idea of video cams inside the trucks are all the trucks equipped with cams or just this one

[@amtraktraveler9118]

Does your FD use a Motorola Minitor IV or V? We just got new Minitors IV. They are great?? Next we need new Turnout Gear. Our pagers were 6 thousand dollars for 10. I am a firefighter from a town of 700. Not much action. We get about 2 or 3 a year if we are lucky. Most Ag. Fires or MVCs.

[@JASON8502]

We use very little pagers these days but do have a few of those. All our responses come over our phone like the pagers. We use two apps, Fire Text Response and Active 911. Works great. You might look into Globe gear, they are doing a giveaway grant right now for gear. Free grant, might as well try.

[@matthewdecker8963]

MILTON FIRE & RESCUE How do you like Active 911? We use eDispatches and we hate it. If we didn’t have radios for each firefighter we’d never have anybody responding.

[@CrAvEdIgItAlRaDiO]

I still remember you passing by this house checking for damages after the Tornado

[@allnationsrt]

great to see different departments work together.

[@JASON8502]

It was a closet inside the house, the smoke from the garage was a burn pile behind it

[@JASON8502]

No, that is another one we had. 8571 is being fixed so it still has its light.

[@motionmay]

I completely agree with you about paramedics risking themselves as much as anyone else. I was not trying to critizize his actions, just that everyone on a scene has there role to play, the paramedics is to help the injured, and save lives, the paramedic in this clip is trying to help, I know that, but if he goes down then, he is making a bad situation even worse, he now cannot help anyone, and all resources on scene have to change tactics and save one of there own.

[@christophermoore91]

What you guys need to understand is that this camera shutter speed is not quick enough to capture the scenery in real time. That is why it looks like he is travelling so fast. I am a Lieutenant of 5 years on my department and we have the same issue with our camera. Our trucks are all governed at 68 mph.

[@peachtree67]

Always a good response for a fire call...

[@theone2225]

nice to see a video from 1 of your trucks

[@JASON8502]

This is a Fire truck that is governed at 65 mph. Not sure how that is too fast?? Plus, you cannot see the speedometer so how do you even know how fast it was going? If this was your house or your family then you would be asking us what took so long when we got there. Happens every time.

[@JASON8502]

I agree with that too, not that I don't think he should help but I do see what you are saying. Good point.

[@Fdnysteve]

i like the video alot the response was great it just seems the camera is a bit laggy i dont know if its just my computer but other then that great video

[@LizGro]

time for a cool story, the camera is filming at a pretty low frame rate, which gives the impression things are moving a lot faster than they are.

[@mrmrjoshM]

i didnt realize you guys had fire explorers there

[@JASON8502]

It is just the camera, it goes frame by frame different than a normal camera

[@JASON8502]

This is just across the field from our Station 2 that got hit.

[@JASON8502]

Electrical outlet shorted out

[@johnnykATL]

What should be considered is that the FD is Volunteer. EMS (and/or PD is paid)....If I was a Paid Medic or Paid Officer in my hometown, I'd join the Volunteer FD!! Since all three services would respond to a structure fire and be there simultaneously, who wouldn't pitch in and help within reason to what gear they have?? In Rural areas it a necessity.

[@CrAvEdIgItAlRaDiO]

I was going to say the same as sfavre082371 where the emt really helps the crews on these calls. Also I noticed that your AC Tom McQueary got a different light bar on 8502. Grabbed from 8571?? heh

[@JASON8502]

Yes, we have a few of them.

[@thatotherguy186]

It really weird seeing a response video from behind you in a different vehicle lol

[@trollny]

what was the point of the mechanical and horn the whole way there? im sorry the electronic should have been enough for what they were driving in.

[@dirtywater5336]

i no longer care. it was something i said last week that i didnt think would turn into a federal case. but ill humor you to end the debate; you're so right. that rig is not traveling past the speed limit at all. i retract all my previous comments

[@djsmexyy]

may I ask is that a wood stove smoking behind the garage?

[@larryrwendelljr4465]

Is this the Joplin, MO Fire Department? I used to live in Missouri, but don't know much about the US Hwy 42, so do not mind my asking, as I always try mto read the sign's as you zip by them, punishment for my eyes I guess. But I agree, if this bores you, then should go elsewhere. Anytime the fire Fighters and Police Men are hero's in my way of thinking. Good Video, Thank you for presenting it.

[@tractordude290]

is this a new camera in your pumper?

[@JASON8502]

MInor damage to the closet area from a faulty electrical outlet

[@zacw4243]

I hope your engineer/operator was recirculating water through the tank. Also good response video i found nothing that is against the rules while responding.

[@JASON8502]

Yes, we have learned our lesson on operating in cold weather.

[@ucvgabe8467]

oh okay, I'm used to Motorola's MDC so I had NO idea what that was lol. Thanks for the info

[@JASON8502]

This is Engine 8535

[@JASON8502]

233 for last year and we do not make many EMS runs.

[@peanut111shorty]

sounds like an old school engine...what year?

[@peanut111shorty]

was that your vehicle (8502) parked off in the grass?that explorer looked a little bit too old to be one...was that a female firefighter?

[@peanut111shorty]

was that your vehicle (8502) parked off in the grass?what did the explorer do?was that a female firefighter?

[@wduane2807]

I watched another video from a different department where a police officer was pulling the line as soon as the truck got stopped and I have to agree with you guys on that, their intentions are good but it's best the just let the firefighters do their jobs.

[@000PUMPER000]

what does 'explorer' mean on the helmet?

[@ucvgabe8467]

that's some weird radio signalling you got going on there, what kind of radios do you have? Doesn't sound like motorola

[@000PUMPER000]

specially if you have limited crews, although here in Victoria, Australia i very much doubt the paramedics would do any of that lol specially as total different 'organization'

[@bman4451]

This is Milton, Kentucky

[@JASON8502]

Yes, that is my vehicle but I am 8501. 8502 was the one in front of the Engine as they was responding

[@wduane2807]

What was smoking behind the garage?

[@wduane2807]

Just like another video from a different department when the truck arrived on the scene, a police officer was pulling the line and heading toward the burning structure. Their intentions are good, but like you say, if they get hurt, it makes a bad situation worse. A paramedic's job is to stand by in case someone is hurt, and the police is to direct traffic and keep unauthorized people away from the scene.

[@allnationsrt]

is thre a dash cam in unit 8502

[@peanut111shorty]

was that a female firefighter on scene?

[@JASON8502]

Just one in my command car and this Engine for now

[@JASON8502]

Not sure, I will have to look

[@JASON8502]

This is a KME Engine

[@MrDaltonater]

How much damage was there?

[@CATERPILLER30]

What siren is that other than the q

[@fireexplorer24]

Which truck are u driving?

[@JASON8502]

Yes, Engine 8535

[@fireguye4]

where is this?

[@Hptrontic]

was that a grease fire

[@mikemilkowski4844]

how many runs do you get a year?

[@TornadoEFGuy]

how did it happened?

[@peanut111shorty]

who was in the suv?

[@larryrwendelljr4465]

I just checked, not Missouri, more like Ohio/Kentucky area, sorry, still a good video!

[@JASON8502]

Not yet

[@jrsyff86]

explorers are under 18 right?

[@kwcoaster]

i enjoyed it am im not a firefighter

[@paullujan8849]

We haveajor structures on fire in bakersfield

[@kennywhite2010]

and when your recording it seems like your going real fast but your only going 55 or 60 but in the video it seems like your doing 70 plus if that makes any sense

[@peanut111shorty]

what was his job?

[@JASON8502]

Yes, what he said LOL. Thanks Justin.

[@MrDyson01]

we had a structure fire last night in our first due

[@JASON8502]

Kentucky

[@peanut111shorty]

nice

[@motionmay]

Though I respect all you guys do, I have to disagree with the paramedic wandering around helping eveywhere. I know he has good intentions, but he is of no use to anyone on scene if he hurts himself helping out, unprotected with no fire gear or scba

[@MrBoogyman1988]

Look at Quietly that guys sitting there watching

[@yankee1209]

Looks like it was a training fire...

[@MrBoogyman1988]

~ wow~

[@lewiskelly14]

I fucking love you.

[@MajorRawne001]

Its going to take even longer if your all killed or involved in an accident. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. If their are no victims entrapped, you still need to get their fast but nothing to kill any number of firefighters over a lost photo book.

[@tower401ladder]

65 on a two lane yes way to fast and trough a residential? don't get me wrong we like to get there fast but if a distracted driver had crossed the centrer it would have killed them and maybe a few fireman too

[@JASON8502]

Firefighter McQueary

[@thatotherguy186]

its just the camera

[@MrBombero10]

POR LO QUE VE ESTA LEJO CUANDO LLEGARON YA ESTABA TODO QUEMADO??????

[@AndrewDStark]

Yes

[@dirtywater5336]

being a fireman, i understand urgency but you are going to kill someone going that fast.

[@abatesecurity]

MANPOWER!!! MANPOWER!!! MANPOWER!!!

[@justinm529]

1992 KME

[@alisaodom]

because the mechanical sounds better

[@JASON8502]

Maybe if you could learn to spell then your comment would make sense. If you are bored then watch something else. Easy as that, glad I could help.

[@SmokeyTheBearE4]

lol, delta side ...wha? DELTA DELTA DELTA!

[@LizGro]

Don't cry
