You definitely drive like someone who has run those runs a thousand times over. Knowing exactly where to speed up, slow down, or stop to be safe. Not to mention great use of the different sirens you have for different situations. Roads like that are definitely a while different breed to run fast and safe at the same time.
I have had to drive Code 3 on some mountain “ pig trails” roads. He looked to me to be avoiding low lying tree limbs that should have been trimmed long before. Also, this driver knows his roads, his area of response. If you notice where there were no limbs hanging down low he stayed in his lane. He changed the siren tone for the most at least 200 feet before intersection making a turn and also to help better get the traffics attention. Even with this some still did not pull to the right of the road. You always have to be prepared to go around these people in a SAFE MANNER. I saw nothing incorrect they he did concerning this. There was a couple of times he should have changed siren tones a little sooner. He didn’t change it back until he crossed over the intersection….Over all I think he did a decent job getting to the station. He never came close to causing an accident. With this footage We have to keep Narrow Roads, Low Lying tree limbs and weather conditions in mind when running Code to an incident!
I should be making for videos sometime during the summer. Between COVID and purchasing a new truck, i have really been responding to a lot of calls, nor have any emergency lights on the truck yet
A lot of people are complaining on how "fast" you were going but they don't even know it's the wide lense angle that makes it looks like you were going fast
You’re right about the wide angle camera. I have had a lot of complaints about driving “to fast” because my pov is a red pickup with a decently loud exhaust which makes people think I’m driving fast. After my first complaint I got a dash cam that shows my gps speed. The wide angle makes me look like I’m going 200MPH while I’m only going 75-85 mph in our 75 speed limit zones. That dash cam made everyone get off my ass. 😂
I do plan on continuing to upload. I still have a bunch of videos with my old truck that i still have to upload. And no, my new truck has yet to be set up yet. I've since changed shifts with EMS and don't have a much free time like i did before.
I have more videos to upload. Plus i got a new truck and need to get the lights back on it. My shifts have changed with working EMS and i havent been running many fire calls lately.
@@firefightingtexan5860 Sure it seems like a great idea until you are in an accident and your company or municipality bails on you for insurance coverage and then your personal insurance says sorry we don't cover doing emergency response. It happened in my area with a young volunteer firefighter and it ruined him. The lights got pulled out of everything I own and went on ebay. Its not worth it.
I plan on it...i have a bunch more left to upload. Ive since bought a new truck and are waiting to get my lights re-installed. Since COVID hit, my VFD has essentially stopped running EMS calls unless they are significant medical issues. Hopefully soon that will change amd things will be back to normal.
I’ve had these before, as soon as ya get there they go on you. Personally, if my state allowed sirens, I would’ve been using it the whole way just in case, I don’t know the area though. Also what are you driving that thing sounds kickass when you step on it?
I normally will use the sirens the entire time but at night, it isnt always necessary, especially that late at night. At this time, I was driving a 2012 Ram 1500 Big Horn.
@@spydermedic1769 I'm sure your neighbors appreciate your restraint and thoughtfulness about this, irks me so much to see responders waking up the entire neighborhood on an empty road just because they can, kudos to you man, thanks for your service to the community out there!
Idk where you are but here in Iowa not allowed to use sirens which is dumb because it only helps response times. People just don’t pay attention to blue lights flashing in their rear view mirrors, sirens would be nice.
i 100% agree with that! I will say however back when I took drivers ed 16 years ago, I was actually taught to yield to the blue lights as the same as emergency vehicles. I feel that if they are responding to the scene, and not the station, that they should be able to run red/blue lights; but thats just me
You know you drive great and I’ve rode with a lot of different people going code 3 and we all have our own styles but all I have to say is I’d be screaming at ya if I was in that passenger seat😂good job brother!
If you are referring to the siren, we typically do not use the sirens at night due to the increased visibility of our lights and as not to wake up everyone in the neighborhood.
