Our county has a few that are played on the public safety channel or at times on other channels. We have four of them for different viewers. Only one we don't have is one that is just EMS but EMS is covered in the others .
There is one for members 16 to 18. One that starts off as a staged bus accident and then goes into all of the county's operations. There are 30 second PSA and three min. ones too with a local radio personality and one that was done just after 9/11. It maybe time toget some new ones to be made.

I am surprised with most, not all volunteer departments saying recruitment and retention is challenging at best, that this thread would go to sleep so quick.

Leaders..... take the AV geek of the department and have them make a short recruitment video...

Yea...it's a lighted sign board out front of the station that says "TAKING APPLICATIONS".

Thanks for the video and sharing it. Now if I can get some folks off their backsides to help me with it, I just might actually get somewhere as well as get some folks to join.
