Honestly this is one of the best response videos I’ve seen in a while. For just one scene, the type of variety and individuality in each unit was amazing to watch. Wish I saw more of this where I lived!
Love the Ambulance crew at 3:30 - 1 pushes the stretcher instead of waiting 3 seconds for her partner to put all that gear on it so she has to carry it all down the street lol
Thanks for the positive feedback everyone! This was posted so long ago and I'm surprised its still getting as much attention as it is! I'm now a volunteer member at Five Points Fire Co. and it's a completely different experience when doing photography for the company than as a civilian. I am so proud of the work that I've done so far with the company and I'm looking forward to a great year! - OfficerAlert (Chris)
Those fire police vehicles are awesome Looks like there was a competition between fire police officers who gets more lights and who's lights setup looks more cooler So far i loved the 17:17 truck and that jeep pickup and that old chevy suburban 10:35 that FP officer got guardian angel light on his shoulder first time seeing one in action
The best there is, great organization, great professionals, great training, many hundreds of thousands of collective hours educating themselves to save our precious lives. Many Thanks to True Heroes!
I recognize nearly every single company on that fireground. I've seen videos of nearly all of them responding but, I never realized they were literally stone's throws from each other. Mill Creek is one of my personal favorite departments. Great video!
so very nice to see a true fire response without cop vehicles getting in the way, parking in the way, blocking and impeding the firefighters arrival ... excellent,
@@therealym7172 this video was about the fire departments that showed up not the police. and the personal vehicles with only blue lights are what we call fire police, they are trafffic control. the personal vehicles with red and blue lights are illegal.
@@officeralertofficial Based on the POV's I saw responding volunteer companies? Not often do you see POV's going to working fires. That is usually in your Rural departments.
Dagger its all about being seen. I worked for a telco and would block off lanes while accessing manholes in the streets. My work truck had amber lights, one strobe on the top cab and LED’s in the rear window and people would still plow thru our cones and barricades. I was sitting in my truck one day and just happened to look in my rear view mirror and a lady was sitting behind my truck and waiting for me to drive on, she had taken out all the cones behind me and had 2-3 stuck under her car. Ive never been a volunteer anything but i don’t blame the guys trying install some type of light anywhere on their vehicle. Many many moronic drivers out their.
Hello From New Hampshire. WOW - NICE CATCH DUDE. I saw a lot of nice-looking unmarked Police Vehicle's in this video too, the one's at 2:08 , 17:15 & 19:54 are SAAWEEEET.
@@officeralertofficial - OHHH OKAY - Sorry my bad, I didn't know that. You see here in my hometown of Concord, NH we don't have Fire Police, we just have either Fire or Police Department's that's it, and here All Fire Vehicle's including All unmarked POV's are Red, White & Amber Light's & All Concord Police Vehicle's including the unmark's are All Blue Light's, so you can see why I thought that those truck's we're unmarked Police Vehicle's at first.
@@mikerotch4597 You're right , I'm not a firefighter but, I've been a 9-1-1 Paramedic for more than 20 years and I know what makes things easier for myself and my partner.
@@eldtaylo okay that may be true but don't you think that was her intention when she went around the back instead of around the front? Seems like her partner just took off. For a Paramedic for more than 20 years, your observation skills aren't that great :/
@3:59 Tisk tisk ! Now wouldn't it make more sense ladies if you would put your gear on the gurney instead of having to lug it around ? That way , you'll have everything you need for the patient and save time .
For Delaware, Fire Police use all blue in front and red, blue for side and rear lighting? In PA it is either all blue or all red depending on rank. And I know in some other states they use all red.
The light color definitions as I understand it: Red: requested right of way. Blue: demands right of way. Green: 02/paramedic on board The color combinations and what apparatus has what is solely dependent on each department/jurisdiction. That's just what I was told. I'm sure there exceptions to every rule. Here in Colorado Springs, the fire departments/medics (usually AMR) run red and blues.
@@bensnyder8672 same for my part of Oregon. Some counties Fire/EMS are red only. In Jackson County where I volunteer Law and Fire run red and blues and the non-profit transporting EMS runs all Reds
First I recognize Cranston Heights, then I recognize Minquas! Got confirmation later in the video. That likely means fmartinjr probably has footage of The Red Wagon and The Red Train responding.
These vehicles are our states Fire Police. They are people from the fire companies that help with foot and vehicle traffic on fire/ems scenes. They keep people and vehicles back so fire departments can do their job safely.
Sorry but I did get a laugh with the Five Points EMS team with one taking off with the stretcher and the other one running around the back and having to carry all the gear to the scene, guess they didn't discuss that. Is there an automatic mutual aid plan in place as there was just the right kinds of units coming in from the different departments, great response and well handled.
the drive-up nurses. when she got her bags out something drops out to the ground, all so her big red bag she was carrying was wide open. she was in a hurry to help I know. but if your miss equipment when you get there. It doesn't do you any good.
There's no such thing as to many lights. When you're running code to a scene or to the station depending on your response protocol you want to seen and heard from the greatest distance possible for safety reasons. I ran a full interior light bar, grill lights, led's in the headlights and backup lights, a full rear interior lightbar with traffic advisor, and a 200 watt siren with a rumbler. When breaking traffic or coming through an intersection you want that safety net and that's where all the lights and siren come in.
If they did that then the turntable would be to close to the building and the ladder would be to close to the building unless you pulled forward which would have blocked traffic
The paramedic utility vehicles are used by our county paramedics. They are used as “rapid response vehicles” for our medics. They also carry the more advanced narcotics and equipment then our fire departments BLS
They are state fire police. "Fire police are fire brigade/company members who, based upon their jurisdictional authority, receive sworn police powers, special training, and support firefighting efforts at emergency incidents. In addition to securing firefighting equipment, incident and fire scenes, and the station itself, fire police perform traffic and crowd control. In some jurisdictions, fire police are exterior firefighters and may be called upon at fire scenes to perform any of the duties of an interior firefighter except those that require a self-contained breathing apparatus. On occasion, fire police also assist regular police: they perform road closures, traffic control, crowd control at public events, missing persons searches, parade details, salvage, security, and other miscellaneous tasks as requested."
@@officeralertofficial Oh yeah heard of the fire police, had no idea they were fire police tho, they don't look like police officers. But then everything over there is SO different to how it is here, here if you're a police officer at the very bottom of England, you still have all the powers of a police officer if you are at the very top of wales
Oh snap, at 11:26 , its fmartinjr up Top of 234 repacking supply hose. Man, he is a kool Black dude. I love him. Matter of fact, I want him to be my daddy. Aheee
Actually, all BOX alarms are 4 Engines, 2 trucks, 1 rescue assignments. It also all depends on information given and availability on trucks. Ambulances are also added depending on information given.
@@davidtolman1266 In Delaware only fire police and station line officers are allowed to have lights on their vehicles. Blue/white in the front and red/blue on the sides and back.
A little smoke was seen in the beginning. As I was not part of the company at this time so I missed the initial fire. Fire was knocked by the time I made it across the highway. Firefighters on scene report fire shooting out front and back windows on the second floor.
