Another big score for you Lucas! And leave it up to Seattle FD to put on a show when responding to calls like this! Great filming and editing work here! Re: cameras, I currently use a Canon Powershot SX620 (which, funny enough, I bought specifically to trial on my Seattle trip back in 2018). The stabilization and focus can be a little weak though, and the zooming in/out is painstakingly slow while also making a sound that will be audible in the filmed video. But it is a cheap, decent entry-level option while also portable and easy to take around. I'm also seeking to upgrade so if you do end up finding something better, let me know too!

I've watched a lot of these firefighter video's and what is always surprising me is the high number of firefighters hanging around. Here in Belgium a standard crew for such a fire would be maximum 6-12 people (1 engine, 1 ladder, 1 signals truck and 1 firechief) and they would call in extra if needed (truck per truck) but never the high number always being called in in the U.S. Why this huge difference?

Watch NY City firefighter videos and you will see 50 of them standing around at larger fires. Thats what a powerful UNION can do to a city. Watch videos of other cities and you will see them fight a fire of the same size with 1/2 the manpower and still get the job done and you won't see dozens of people standing around.

It is easy to criticize sitting behind a screen but it is much more challenging to fight fires in real life. Seattle has the resources available to be able to cover additional calls at the same time putting massive resources on a fire. Why? More people means a greater ability to rotate out firefighters so they can rehab faster. An alert firefighter is less likely to make mistakes and be injured or killed. They also put more resources on a fire in case there is extension into exposures so they can put people on it or better yet protect the exposures so that there isn't extension. That's just a small part of the reason but another very real reason is decades of experience that helps them make the best decisions based on experience and knowing what works.

This is not the norm for all departments in the U.S. Seattle like many large municipalities have the luxury of flooding the incident with resources. Most get turned around once the incident is well under control.

I use the Canon Vixia HF R800, and I find it to be a pretty decent camera for responses. I wouldn't use it for photos or any professional work, but definitely a good, quick and easy camera for responses. It fits in your cup holder of your vehicle for quick deployment! Before my R800 model I had an earlier model (can't remember the name) and it was good too. Neither have been the best in low light though. I find it focuses on the brightest stuff, then exposes for that, if that makes sense? If you're filming fire at night the fire itself is well exposed but everything else is black. Or filming trucks late at night the lights are well exposed but the truck is dark etc. Overall they're decent little response cameras though. Nice catches by the way! Always cool to get shots of units rolling up to fires.

Tillers are great. They usually have longer ladder on top than other trucks (100ft vs 75 or 80, that can reach an extra level or two) plus the steerable rear wheel on the trailer means its actually more maneuverable than straight chassis quint/ladder trucks. Staffing is usually the same as other truck companies so that's not an issue.

Yep, the new electronic "Q" sirens (if that's what they are) are nothing like the old-school mechanical Federal Qs--could hear those for miles around, esp. on a night fire call (used to live in Seattle). Do any of the units use the "Rumbler" (used by FDNY and other depts); it produces a low-frequency tone, which supposedly can be heard better thru closed car windows.
