WPFD Station 1 Tour

West Plains Fire Department Station #1 Tour, the new addition on the original station 2 and the rest of WPFD Headquarters.

[@aaronburke2405]

Bud, It’s been OVER 4 years since I have worked at this station. I’m ashamed to say it’s been close to the same amount of time since I have visited this station. LOVED this video. PLEASE complete the set with rest of the stations. Hope to make it up there before the videos are done. However as life goes, you do not always have the time. This video was wonderful and I’m proud to say that I remember working at this station even if it was “Station 2” at the time! Keep it up WPFD family!

[@HandyGuy2016]

We miss you brother, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@samuelr.5438]

I love how when you was about to open up the garage door the storm siren tones go off on the radio!

[@centralnewyorkresponses7887]

You guys are like my department in my city, we are so understaffed. We run 2 engines, 1 rescue, and 1 ladder and a fly car. We have a spare engine which is the 5th due on structure fires.

[@nelsonfarms20]

Really dig that rescue!

[@peanut111shorty]

It's about time we get to see more than just the engines responding from the other station?

[@michaelbond3903]

Would it be possible to get do a walk around of the command and communications unit please? Awesome video by the way.

Nice video and nice fire trucks

[@HandyGuy2016]

Thank you

[@chambersjamal7358]

No problem

[@corey-k3b]

Handy guy do you guys only have EMTfirefighters in your fire department or do you have medics as well ? cause my dept is all firefighters/medics ?

[@HandyGuy2016]

Our department does not require EMT certification. We have some EMT's, but it is mainly because they work for an ambulance service as a second job.

[@centralnewyorkresponses7887]

Do you guys also have people come in when you get calls, like brush fires which you guys have a season for. They should put more people on during wildland season.

[@HandyGuy2016]

We have paid on call personnel that respond on all calls.
