FirefighterRailfan

Welcome to FirefighterRailfan! The channel that combines my job and hobbies. Firefighting and railfanning. Learning and railfanning the rails of the south. Everything from manifests from out of state to locals in our hometowns. Everything from class 1s to short lines and everything in between.
Along the way I share some of my FireCam footage to give y’all a glimpse of what it’s like to be a firefighter. All Firecam footage is from fires and calls I responded to.
Check out the playlists on this channel to easily find and rewatch your favorite videos and see related videos. Hope y’all enjoy and subscribe if you like this kind of content!

Happy holidays everyone! Here’s your channel outlook for the rest of 2025.
1. Holiday season is in full swing so upload frequency may vary.
2. I’ve filmed 249 trains so far this year so it doesn’t look like we’re gonna beat last year’s record of 345 trains.
3. Probably gonna have a few polls this month to see what you guys are interested in for 2026.
That’s it for now, Happy Holidays!

Greetings everyone. With the holidays quickly approaching I have realized that I won’t have time to make the Q&A video, so here are the answers to the questions I’ve been asked!

‪@F59PH866ProductionsLLC‬ asked what was my favorite catch. I’d say any train I filmed at Cassandra Railroad Overlook in Lily Pennsylvania because that was my favorite railfanning experience so far.

‪@A10aviation‬ asked what’s my favorite fire engine. So far I have firefighter experience with Pierce, E One, and Rosenbauer, but Pierce is my favorite.

@TheGoofySilverbacks_TGS asked do I like Eastern European trains. I personally like North American trains more, but if it’s a train I will film it.

Thank you to everyone who asked questions!

Greetings everyone! Here’s your quick November channel update.
1. Videos from yesterday’s Railfest in Meridian MS will be out sometime this week.
2. The next Firecam video will be released in the middle of the month.
3. The Q&A video will be released upon completion. (I’ve only been asked 3 questions so it will be short).
4. YouTube Shorts will be coming back when I get caught up on the long format videos.
That’s it for now. God bless!
