What's INSIDE A Fire Station with 7,800 Gallons of Water

Subscribe at: / @heroesnextdoor
Welcome back to Heroes Next Door! This week, Mike travels to North West Ohio to visit the Liberty Fire Department in the heart of Ada. Updated in 2009, this station is one of the most well-kept we've seen so far. With 27 active firefighters and approximately 120 calls per year, they truly exemplify dedication and service.
The majority of the building's square footage is dedicated to the apparatus bay, home to multiple dual-axle rigs that carry an impressive 7,800 gallons of water. Essentially, this station is their own Tanker Task Force. Whether you're within city limits or in the rural areas, Liberty Fire Department has you covered.
A special thank you to John Donnal, Kyle Zimmerly, and Dylan Hartman for inviting us to highlight this incredible station. Mike put them to work, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park.

It’s not the firehouse that makes the fire department, it’s the firefighters. Great pride in their department.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

100% AGREE

[@BigDuke-md8ec]

Mike , your channel has evolved a bit over the last few months and that’s great . But I gotta say your bread and butter has always been the Station Cribs and Rigs …. Love them. Hope you keep those type of videos going 👍

[@HeroesNextDoor]

I appreciate that. We have not forgotten that fact and will continue to bring more. We just wanted to also show some other sides too. Plus I personally have picked up a lot of the work. This whole trip to Michigan and Ohio was done solo. I have a lot to learn. Thanks for all the support !!

My local volunteer department has a beast like that. dual rear axles, ginormous tank, ladder and porta tank racks, rescue gear- AND it carries a ladder truck compliment of ground ladders. It's referred to as "the quad" We're very rural, not much of a town- that's the Village Department, we cover the town around it. They also have a Pierce 75' quint, a Pierce Saber engine at station 2 (currently being replaced), and the newest unit: A Darley mini pumper/brush rig. Kind of amazing, what Darley was able to do with this- 4 door 5 person cab, 1500gpm pump with CAFS and pump n roll. Front bumper remote turret and spray bars. 500 gal, tank the works. In addition to lots and lots of farms and woods, there is also a large 400 unit higher end mobile home park. (and a smaller not-so-nice one, too) Full of large mature trees, etc. it is hydranted. This unit just makes it FAR easier to get around in these parks- compared to the quad. Thus it is first due on structure fires, EMS calls, CO, etc in the parks.

@@pyroman6000 What platform is your mini pumper? F-550?

[@pyroman6000]

@@ml9867 i belive so. Im not a member, my buddy is, so i dont know all the particulars. It IS a heavy duty commercial Ford chassis, though. Decent amount of compartmentation, but most of the "stuff" is on the quad and quint. This is for attack, brush/field fires, and EMS. Would make a nice source pumper, too, if needed.

[@ffjsb]

Carrying a full complement of equipment qualifies it as a fire engine for a better ISO rating.

Miss seeing you Mike and watching these awesome videos! Thank you for another great station cribs. This one was definitely unique. Their rigs were very well taken care of and the thought process with all the water was impressive in my opinion. They really care and cater for their community. Well done brother. Looking forward to the next one. Stay safe.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Thanks for all the support. There will be much more to come.

[@brandonzender3899]

Keep rocking big water boys! My Department in Minnesota " not to fair from the dame that about went in the flooding this year South Bend Township Fire" love's big water as well. We have a 3500gal tanker 3000gal pumper tanker, 1000gal pumper and 300gal grass rig. with the departments getting smaller and day time turn out not being what it once was. The more you can bring to the fight at first call the less you need to worried about if your going to run out by the time your other trucks arrive.

[@BlakeCary-r6m]

You should come to North Carolina and do a video at coopers fire and rescue in Nash County

[@LakesRegionEmergencyPhoto]

We have plenty of dual axle engines and tankers up here in New England! Very handy in rural areas.

[@joshw1687]

7800 gallons is wild. The trucks are true beasts.

Yeah I’ll be back. Always leave time to visit family too 😉

[@ramongoodwin8667]

I like the department and I love the apparatus, bit it drives me crazy when they call a quint a "truck". I understand it has an overhead ladder, but if it pumps and s water, it's a quint.

Here's the question for the host.I know you're a firefighter.Which department are you on

[@thomaspreston1635]

You didn't account for the 250 gallons on the brush truck so wouldn't it be 8050 gallons lol

You are correct. Thanks for helping with the math.
