On July 18th, 2020, I filmed a large Seattle Fire response to a water rescue call in north Seattle. The call was for a swimmer in distress, who was picked up by a paddle-boarder and then brought to shore by Fireboat 2.

I managed to capture all 3 kinds of rigs currently used by SFD command: Battalion 2 is seen responding in a 2019 Ford F250, the Safety Officer (Saft2) is seen in a 2018 Ford Interceptor, and the Medical Supervisor (Medic 44) is the lone chief still driving one of the Suburbans, which used to be used by all of the chiefs / command staff.

I missed Rescue 1 *again* (it was cancelled, more about that in an upcoming vlog) but I was still happy to capture this group of responding units. Thanks for watching!
