Happy New Year! It was another year of exciting catches and firebuffing, including seven (!) catches of the new Rescue 1 rig, which is now dispatched to all structure fires. As always, huge thanks to all my viewers and subscribers who make this channel worth it! • #10 – Engine 40 with the airhorn • In late August, I drove to a large structure fire on Aurora Ave, in the former emissions testing building. Engine 40 was just one of several units I caught responding to that incident. • Original video: • Big structure fire response! Seattle... • #9 – Ladder 5 coming in hot • SFD's tillers are always fun to catch - this clip features Ladder 5 responding to a building fire in Ballard, filmed in late July. • Original video: • Double tiller time! Seattle Fire Lad... • #8 – Medic 18 jumps the curb • Traffic is always an issue in Seattle. Here, Medic 18 shows us one way to get around the traffic jam. Filmed in March, as I recovered from a minor surgery. • Original video: • Seattle FD Medic 18 jumping the curb!... • #7 – Response Parade • I love getting multiple units responding all in a row. I captured these four, along with a lot of other units, just after midnight in mid-August. What looks like smoke in this video is a fog machine on one of the neighbor's houses. • Original video: • Seattle FD midnight fire response! R... • #6 – Engine 10 and Ladder 1 responding • In July, I met up with ‪@Hall7EmergencyPhotography‬ for some firebuffing in multiple locations. We had the best luck at Station 10 where we caught E10 and L1 going on a run together (plus, various aid units and SPD). • Original video: • Seattle FD Ladder 1, Engine 10, Aid 5... • #5 – Multiple units through the smoke • In mid-January, I caught two fires on the same day. This clip shows SFD units responding through the smoke of a burning tiny house on Crown Hill. Units seen include the Station 18 units and, I believe, E21. • Original video: • *Huge Response* Seattle Fire battles ... • #4 – Engine 26 and Air 26 responding • In October, I caught E26 and Air 26 going to a boat fire. I'd also spotted Air 26 going to the fire on Aurora, but I got a much better view this time around. Air 26 is based in south Seattle, and fills in when Air 10 is out of service. • Original video: • Seattle Fire Rescue 1, Air 26 and Eng... • #3 – Marine 1 responding • The day before I caught the double fires last January, I caught Marine 1 and E36 responding to a boat fire in Ballard. I'd just parked so I wasn't in the best filming spot, but it was still good to catch them. I also caught them on dash cam once, but it was even farther away. • Original video: • *Rare* Seattle FD Marine 1 and Engine... • #2 – Rescue 1 responding (new rig) • The new Rescue 1 rig went in service in November of 2022, but the only catch I had of it that year was after dark, in the rain. I had much better luck in 2023 and this clip, the first time I caught it during the day, was my favorite. Filmed in April. • Original video: • Seattle FD *new* heavy rescue truck r... • #1 – Marine 80 responding • I got my first look at Marine 80 back in 2018, but that time it was quite far away. This time I had a great view, and I filmed it using both my camera and my phone just in case something malfunctioned. This call was for a boat fire in July. • Original video: • *Super rare* Seattle FD Marine 80 res... • Clip listing: • 0:00 - #10 Engine 40 with the airhorn • 0:09 - #9 Ladder 5 coming in hot • 0:28 - #8 Medic 18 jumps the curb • 0:41 - #7 Response Parade • 1:14 - #6 Engine 10 and Ladder 1 responding • 1:45 - #5 Multiple units through the smoke • 2:11 - #4 Engine 26 and Air 26 responding • 2:28 - #3 Marine 1 responding • 2:44 - #2 Rescue 1 responding (new rig) • 3:00 - #1 Marine 80 responding • 3:41 - My face • 4:00 - Rescue 1 x7 • 4:27 - Smoke and Fire • 5:40 - EXCITING NEWS • 6:08 - Outro
