Vol. Fire & EMS, ED Tech, RN, now retired. I’d love to go back to work as a FF, Medic or as a RN. Thanks for sharing all you do, truly amazing technological changes since I rode a back step.

I LOVE how they designed the station! That said though Mike, have you thought about doing a video about Race Track Fire and Rescue Departments? I think it would be fun to do just to see what it is like when were working at a Track.

22:56 WOW! Their day room is beautiful! I love the ceiling.

[pavel_tuzar]

Nice station, separate EMS stations are always awesome, this is most paramedics' dream.

Thanks for the station tour Hero's Next Door. Hope one day you would do a video tour on the new Heavy Rescue truck at 36:17

Another great video. I did notice though that in my opinion the turnout gear door from the office area is hinged wrong. It looks as though it will swing into the gear rather than to the empty wall.

Love the study room! I almost all of my studying for my degrees while at the firehouse

[AmericanAE]

Love your videos! Williamsburg, VA just got a new station, also close to William and Mary, maybe stop by there?

[crnmedic]

Always love your videos and your attention to detail is great. Love showcasing different departments across the nation. One suggestion, the background music while people are talking is very distracting for some of us. Otherwise great stuff.

Beautiful station! Blows my mind though that they are not a medic service…

[blinko]

That’s a good price. In 2023 to 2020 for my department which I am retired for 20 years. Build a new station. It is south of San Francisco town of Woodside. I believe it is a 5B station two-story. It houses an engine a reserve a have a rescue and a BC. It cost $30 million.

Princeton fun fact: current borough of Princeton has existed only since 2013, created by merging a much smaller borough and surrounding township.

Need to check out the rescue squads in Tennessee they don't have ambulances its all technical rescue stuff go to Sevier County in Sevierville Tennessee they have a awesome rescue squad

[DV-tcyr]

I dont know how these departments get the money they do for these stations but WOW they are huge and awesome, 8 million dollars for a station I hope will last for decades

Hey, I was just thinking you know what would be a great video. Let's go up to the fire expo in Harrisburg on your Pennsylvania native. I think that would be the terrific video. You can make a pound of that four or five videos in that place right there. And you know, Harrisburg at the fire expo used to be at dust, wonderland and Lancaster. But now he moved to the farm show complex and Harrisburg. That would meet awesome. Awesome videos and then you can see all the fire trucks and everything. New gear everything. Think about it. I think it will be a hit

[APrinceG]

You should come to Tucson Arizona and check out Tucson Fire Dept.

[ThomasYoung-gz]

Quick Question!!! Do you have any information on the life members or how that process works? It seems very interesting and possibly something to look into for my department. Thank you!
