fas

test

drive

r change in history, a previous style, yeah we will be, I'll jump in there like a bullet, yeah, it seems to start in first and then yeah, we go right up to third, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, this truck The

fire

engine

only has about 1600 Newton meters of torque, it doesn't seem like much for the size of the

engine

. I also have the retarder, which is fantastic, so you can use it to help you brake as well and it is absolutely necessary, yes, yes, and David, what do the people who are watching now, all the young people, what do they have to do to enter the

fire

? service well once you reach the required age limits, basically apply as you would any other job, you can contact the county council human resources department or if you know someone at your local fire station or even if you don't.

Call and ask if the guys are there, they will always welcome you to the station. You can ask them anything you want and they will talk to you, tell you and tell you how you can apply. for it, but apart from the county council, uh, for the application forms, you don't need to have any special requirements, such as high level education, that is, if you have experience in using tools that will obviously help you if you are involved in maybe a voluntary organisation, something like civil defense or something that will also help you with your thinking, but at the end of the day

full

training is provided, you know, so if you come in with no experience all you need is enthusiasm and you will be trained in everything that needs to be done um and you have been trained to

drive

this fire apparatus at high speed yeah you are it's basically known as esds which is an

emergency

service driving standard yeah so basically you start with um First of all, you need to get your C license so you can drive any truck or appliances, then you'll go into the ESDS and I'll start by teaching you how to drive defensively, that doesn't mean you slow down.

It just means being more alert to everything around you and being more protective so as not to have an accident; Then you will move on to the more advanced until finally, in the final part of the course, you will be taught how to drive at high speed with lights and sirens. you live within a mile and a half 1.5 miles of the station, yes, once you're connected, once we're contracted for our service, you get a retainer fee for the year and then you get paid to negotiate and you get paid by calls after that too, but you have to stay 24 hours a day within 2.4 kilometers, now you have the annual eve because it is a 365 day job, you are on call also on weekends.There are many holidays so you can take them, you'll have a higher level of annual benefit than you would in any other job, but you can also take casual leave on top of that so you can take a few hours off.

Take a day off without touching your annual leave, it's restrictive but once you plan ahead you get used to it. I've been doing it for 12 years and only occasionally. It's been a little awkward, but overall I've done it. It happens okay, so yeah, you said before we said we refer to it as a plastic body. You know, of course, we always use the word plastic, but it's basically known as a composite body if you want to be exact about it and you know. This is our first here in County Clear, but as far as I know, this is two orders in the country.

It's a new concept for obviously appliances or trucks and it's also a new concept in Ireland for firefighters. service requires one of these appliances, we actually have to get financing and that comes from the premises. The fire trucks come from the housing department and local government and heritage, so it's also decided by the minister of that department and what. What happens then is that it will go to tender and it will be produced by the government procurement office and once everything is in place, it will receive its funding to acquire these devices, so more composite body devices will appear around the world . country for the next few years, you know, and as far as I know, in the republic at least there are only two companies that build these, yes, and Sean Cho was one of them, as we mentioned earlier, and the other one in Carlow is Yes, yeah yeah so the price would be around 451,000 yeah it's 451,000 and it all comes with

full

y equipped airbags too oh yeah it has side curtain airbags guys that's right those side curtains.

Airbags are an option on all other new Scanias, but they are actually standard on this double cab and by the way, these double cabs are built in the south of Italy in Sweden, so they are building the hometown, yes, yes, yes, this is fantastic. I just got back to the fire station. Oh by the way the 451000 is just for the appliance it doesn't include all of our firefighting fluid oh my gosh it doesn't include all the equipment guys yeah so here in Shannon now. we have a

crew

of 12. you know, officer, petty officer and then you have 10 firefighters after that, David, yeah, your pager didn't go off, no, no, thank God, I didn't get a chance to press the blue lights, guys. that's all they wanted was to press the blue knights I wanted to press mode 999 I'm getting back on the line front wheel on the line and that's where we're going to end up today guys from the shannon fire station a huge thanks to david mason here from the claire david county fire and rescue service thank you very much no problem all servers it was a pleasure thank you very much and make sure you apply guys if you want to be part of the fire service they are always looking for new apprentices absolutely yes I hope Enjoyed the video guys, give it a thumbs up if you did and I'll talk to you all again next weekend for another video.
