FAQs-
Q: "Where is this?"
A: Our fire house is located in the town of Willow Street, just south of Lancaster City, Lancaster County Pennsylvania.

Q: "What is the spinning thing?"
A: That is called the "Roto-Ray," it is a spinning light designed to catch drivers attention.

Q: "Why is the call so far away?" or "Why does it take so long to get there?"
A: Many of our responses, or at least many of the ones that are uploaded are responding to assist other departments. Usually another firehouse can be seen or is passed by who is already on the call. We can reach the far end of our first due in West Lampeter Twp within 5 minutes, and in Providence Twp about 7.

Q: "What camera are you using?"
A: For dash cams I use a GoPro Hero 7, helmet cam videos I use a FireCam 1080

    Driving one of these trucks is wild, massive trucks with water on the back complicating things (fluid dynamics ain't a joke); total respect to firemen and firewomen.

    Awesome, thanks. I was 27 years all positions. In a multifamily occupancy you only get one chance to get ahead of a fire. Its ok to dump the house like that if you dont know better before arrival.

    how does condensation start a all hands fire response no one thought it was wise to see if there was actually a fire before calling in the states entire fire department ?
  • @JCourts2k23
    Seems like that spinning thing would be distracting
