Truckie Video

There are links to several truckie videos embedded in this block. The most recent come from my post on Firehouse Zen, where I have also linked the Raleigh and Seattle Fire Department collaboration on their tiller training project in the wake of their rollover from a few years ago.Another great truckie video was sent to me by my dad (or my brother, can't remember who):

Inside the Ladder Shop at the San Francisco Fire Department from AdamKaplan on Vimeo.

Of course, both Webchief and Dave STAT911 turned me on to this EXCELLENT video of LAFD in 1949 showing how the truckies get it done! Check it out:

And finally, the LAFD Truckie Video:

Comment by Nick Wettlaufer on December 6, 2011 at 6:32pm: in my department we dont really have assigned apparatus but those who want to be truckies we just always get on the truck. we have a 65' quint does that still count

Comment by Mick Mayers on April 27, 2011 at 11:06pm: What's with all the truckie haters on here recently? If you don't want to be one of us, that's fine, but you don't see us crashing the engine company pages reminding them who has to do the rational thinking on the fireground, do you? If it wasn't for the truck, some of you guys would be standing out front, knocking on the door to get in. No, really, I've seen it.

Comment by HeightsFF on February 10, 2011 at 11:57am: Don't you guys know that truckies are actually "firemen's helpers?"

Comment by Bill Rossberg on February 4, 2011 at 8:27pm: Water squirters get an uninterupted water supply, truckies do everything else, nuff said

Comment by Jim West on January 26, 2011 at 1:49pm: I can't talk I went from a truck to an engine, but whats worse then went to a haz mat

Comment by Jordan Bryce Wiser on August 6, 2010 at 6:19am: hmmmm so what about a quint...i'll leave it at that for you guys to talk about. haha
