Please don’t post uninformed comments.
“The City of Pittsburgh is geographically divided into four (4) Battalions, which includes 29 Stations housing 34 Engine Companies, 3 Quint Companies, 11 Truck Companies, and a Mobile Air Compressor Unit.”
That’s 11 trucks. Maybe you were confused on terminology, in that case maybe you shouldn’t comment about firefighting operations. The PBF is a very competent organization and I, a Pittsburgh resident, trust them with my safety and well being.

Each alarm brings a truck and 2 engines.
however i would like to thank you for all of your videos, you get some great footage and they are all 5 star!!!!
hi, i lived in pittsburgh and was very unimpressed by the action taken and response time also being that there are only about 40 trucks in the whole city, how do they get a 5th alarm response from only 40 trucks. i live in nyc and a fdny 5th alarm is more than 50
trucks. do you live in pittsburgh and if you do , where???
