19 calls in one day would wipe our department out - we average 30 or 40 calls per YEAR. These calls involve fires (of course), false alarms with automatic systems, car accidents where extrication or vehicle stabilization is required, support of EMS to provide "lift assist" (we are only firefighters, not EMT's), and other similar work. We have about 20 on our roster, all 100% volunteer and all with regular jobs. A number of the guys have local jobs and make up the primary first response crew for daytime weekday calls. Others (me included) have permission from our supervisors to leave at any time for a page but from where I work it is a 15 minute drive to the station so I only go if more help is needed or if the location of the call within the district means I could get there quickly from the office.

(The first order of business for us after a page is to organize over the radio who is bringing what trucks.)

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
