Portland Fire and Rescue Truck 13 responding with Medic 312 on a TR3 to the Lloyd Center Ice Center at 1529 on 12/29/08. A TR3 is a traumatic injury to a non critical area. The whoop-whoop sound you hear at the beginning is the station alert tone for Trucks. Engines have a slightly different tone. This lets station personnel know which company is being dispatched before the verbal description of the call comes in.

The Priceville, Alabama Volunteer Fire Department conducted a training exercise on a house a member of the public wanted demolished. The house was approximately 50 feet from a Church building. Volunteers from the Priceville VFD and Sommerville Area Volunteer Emergency Services (SAVES) conducted training using Self Contained Breathing Aparatus equipment and various types of hoses. Three engines were used and approximately 25 firefighters participated. After extensive limited visibility environment training (smoke), the fire was allowed to begin burning. Once the fire was allowed to take its course, the building was consumed within an hour and a half. Time lapse video only is available on this same YouTube channel under the name “House Burning down Time Lapse”.
