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 Charles Bullard Jr on October 14, 2008 at 7:37pm: whats up truckies

Comment by Bob Allard on October 14, 2008 at 3:28pm: Remember when we are drive to the scene to have the seatbelt on and don't get tunnel vision with the siren and lights going , there is always someone out there who just doesn't care about you going to a emergency.

HI ALL

Comment by Mick Mayers on October 14, 2008 at 7:22am: Welecome to all you folks just getting on Cancel The Engine. Note that we have 340+ members these days (seems like just yesterday we were trying to break the 50 mark) and over 40 discussions. Likewise, we have room for more discussions and more truckies like you. Feel free to post stuff related to truck company issues, truck company love songs, truck company poetry, or whatever. Also, note the post below from Christopher Naum, with some pertinent truck-related stuff over on the Bldg Const/FF Safety Group. Look it over and share it with your troops.

When you are looking around on FFNation, invite any truckies you see out there who aren't already members of this group. We'd love to have them. Until then, stay safe.

Mick

Comment by Nicholi69 on October 12, 2008 at 11:25pm: hi yall just getting in to truck work

Comment by Firehouse Dolls on September 24, 2008 at 5:14pm: Been on the Truck for 12 years. Truck work is the BEST!

Comment by Christopher J. Naum, SFPE on August 31, 2008 at 2:44pm: Check out the Building Construction and Firefighter Safety Group at http://www.firefighternation.com/group/buildingconstructionfirefightersafety
We've been posting some good stuff directly applicable to all the truckies out there. Could use some good cross sectional postings related to roof ops, truck and ladder ops and FF safety...
