HERE YOU WILL SEE THE 1ST VIDEO OF A BRAND NEW FDNY EMS AMBULANCE AND “VERY RARE CATCH” OF IT USING THE HI/LO SIREN WHILE RESPONDING ON 3RD AVENUE ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE AREA OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY.
That's one of the new ambulances! Federal Signal Navigator lightbar, and a lot more perimeter lighting than ever before. Those new F-550 chassis' look AWESOME.
Nice. I like them using it at Intersections. The TONE change getting to Drivers ear better. The Tone is more calming but Effective. Remember in the Latter years of Show Emergency the SQUAD 51 started using that TONE in sound effects of response on calls.
That is weird. I have heard those sirens used on other NYC ambulances in the past few years ago but never on the FDNY ems before, and again good job 👍 it is amazing work you do.
Nice. Never knew that particular ambulance of FDNY’s has a siren like that. Back then, the hi-lo sirens that blare from Ford Super Duty Horton ambulances would come from either Southern or Star Signal Vehicle Products or Federal Signal PA-300 (e.g. Solomons Volunteer Fire Department & Rescue Squad’s ambulances 37, 38 & 39 (1999-2003 Ford Super Duty’s). I would be surprised if someone told me that a 1999-2007 Ford Super Duty Horton ambulance has a dual Carson SA-441MG siren with the two-tone siren mode included and that he/she has caught it on camera
That’s a new ambulance, If you look at the brake and turn signals they are different. Pa400s do not have hi-lo usually, so the FDNY must have requested a version of it for their fleet.
Living on 89th at 1st Ave I can attest to the noise (not to the complaining). The EMT sirens are non-stop, especially living between Lennox Hill Hospital and Metropolitan. However, it's like where I grew up in the LGA flight path in Queens - after a couple of thousand times you stop hearing it. Cheers and thanks for the video John.
Looks like this is really going into effect. ''council members Carlina Rivera and Helen Rosenthal, would give police, fire, ambulance and other emergency vehicles two years to transfer over to a system with the two-tone siren, which is sometimes called a “Hi Lo” siren. The local law would also set the maximum siren sound level.''
It never happened, a study showed no real difference in complaints made when mt sinai first did it resulting in a fail of the bill, this however is probably influenced by it but they will never go only hilo
