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:

Hey, just joined the group, although I am a firefighter who takes pride in doing all jobs on the fire scene, I do have an affinity for the truck work as well and will do it when asked. We have a 95' Tower Ladder in my department. Dont get me wrong though, I try for the tip every time!! (Engine man at heart, truckie by duty! LOL)
How is everyone?

Just checking in on everyone- nothing new going on?
Comment by Mick Mayers on March 1, 2009 at 7:25pm
Hey, 913, you're on the ladder. What more can you ask for in life? Who wants to be down with the yard breathers when you can be up on a roof? We know you've got truckie deep down in ya or you wouldn't be here.

Mick,

With a name like Engineco913 it's obvious that I have an affinity to engine company operations. As stated in an email, my department is corrupting me into Truck company operations. Here is a scene shot (chimney fire) they got as proof they are trying to make me a truckie.

Wow! Over the weekend we leapt to the 1000+ mark! I hope it's because you all are enjoying the stuff in this group, although I encourage you alll to jump in and make suggestions or check out some of the tactical threads (like posed by Chris Naum). Also, if you are familiar with any links you likethat can shae info, please share them with us.

So, welcome all you new add-ons and hope you like working on the truck with us.

As much as I considered throwing the link for my blog, Firehouse Zen, on the RSS feed, I thought it more appropriate to throw the honor over to a favorite site of mine, VentEnterSearch.com. This is good stuff and regularly updated with truckie tricks of the trade. These guys are really contributing and we need to support their efforts.

So remember this act of unselfishness and spread the wealth a little by coming to my site as well. Hope you all like both of them.
