wow, that seems like a waste of money, wonder how many times they call out the wrecker?

Actually I've been on numerous calls in my career that required a heavy wrecker. I'm willing to bet they are one heck of a lot busier than I'll ever dream of being.

A heavy wrecker on-scene with a good operator would be one handy tool, not to mention if they are a mechanic. As it is we have a mechanic at every working fire at the PFD, and there's lots for him to do:Banghead. PFD should have their own wrecker at the rate we're going lol.

A short vid that a school kid did of the PFD apparatus. A couple shots of the air rescue trucks as well.

And I found these on the union website. A large wharehouse with heavy fire. That's me on the arial holding the roof ladder. I took my crew to the roof attempting to vent, we were ordered off when the fire broke though further down the roof.

Any idea what happened to the car? Looks like a Nissan sentra, if im not mistaken.

 

[fireman050]

it was stolen and set on fire to get rid of evidence the call came out as a building fire when we arrived on scene we found out it was a vehicle and released the rest of the companies except rescue 14 and called in arson to investigate
