I spent the day riding with Truck 1 to numerous calls across the Downtown portion of Wichita. Lt. Griffin and his crew were phenomenal!

I’m in Chicago and I would not of thought of Wichita being a badass department. Very aggressive with a lot of old school vibes. I love it.
-
A fireman’s fire department! Love the combat ready mentality and using each call as a training moment. Look at the hose on the rig and how it is packed and you can tell what kind of department it is!

When I was a fireman, that LT's thoughts were the same as mine. A fire alarm system is there to detect the presence of fire or an emergency condition.
-
Honestly impressed. Had no idea that Wichita had a badass FD. Love the fact that these guys are still running around as Blue collar firemen.
-
As a junior firefighter in high school and volunteer firefighter I love the passion shown from their love of their station and what they do.

Love seeing Griff, he's a great guy. He was one of the WFD guys that came down to assist my fd when Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana in 2021. I'll have to make a trip to visit them soon.

Great to see such a well trained and professional fire department. Judging by this and the Rescue 1 video, it's unfortunate that the City of Wichita has let their fire stations deteriorate. Firefighters everywhere deserve better living conditions.

Firefighter for 18 yrs, im so impressed with this dept, treated every call as a working fire, a lot of depts don’t do that, my dept is one of those, I wish we did, and using the false alarms as training opportunity on the ladder truck, well trained dept, much respect

I was a firefighter in Dyersburg, Tennessee and now live in Chicago. I want to wish all of the 1st responders a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. God bless and stay safe.

Love the way this department thinks. Treat it as if it's real from the start. If it's not, or if it's minor, use it for a training op. -- ALWAYS better to be over ready, than under ready !!

Love that Mars spinner light on Truck 1! I gave my parents a tour of that station back in the 90's, including the 8pm "alarm test". Great memories

Awesome video, and especially being from Kansas this was really neat to see how Wichita runs their department. My dad retired several years ago after 26 years on the Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical in Lawrence, KS. Would love to see a video filmed here from Station 5 on The University of Kansas campus. Pretty busy and really cool area. Great video again!

I used to work for the City of Wichita in the IT department and got to visit this fire house once to fix a network issue. Great bunch of guys, pretty cool looking firehouse!
