How can you not get excited when the Rescue comes roaring through with that beautiful siren and those magnificent air horns ripping away. This is what a fire engine should sound like. Loud and Proud!
YEAH, I HAVE TONS OF GREAT CLIPS..... IT'S A MATTER OF FINDING AND WATCHING THEM! I LOVEEEEEE THAT CLIP OF FDNY RESCUE 1 BLAZING THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD! THANKS SO MUCH MY FRIEND! ;o)
I love watching these FDNY videos! It reminds me of how much my uncle loved working here!! But after 9/11 something things backfired. He was one of the 343 firefighters who died
THANKS AND GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT SO MUCH JAMES! I MIGHT BE COMING TO PHILLY IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO IF MY PLANS GO THAT WAY! MAYBE WE CAN ALL GET TOGETHER AGAIN! ;o)
***** I don't know about that one John . I was planning to come to New York and buff at Rescue 2 for my Birthday and was going to call you about if you wanted to come . But maybe i will see you and if not there will be a next time i hope .
Does anyone know why the federal q was changed out for this mechanical siren? I know in older videos of this squad they had a federal q. Thanks for any information, great videos!
yesterday I was trying to drive our 45t ladder truck the same way like rescue 1 in the first video. I used all 3 sirens and the horn we have and the same style of driving *lol*... everyone on the street and my captain shook their heads.... lol.... in europe we do not drive that way but I did it :-)))) now everyone say I have to go to the FDNY or an other us fire service *lol*
BadenCityFire HAHA! THAT IS A GREAT FANTASTIC AND FUNNY STORY CHRISTIAN! I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IT AND WOULD HAVE LOVED TO FILM IT! HEHEHE! THANKS SO MUCH MY FRIEND! ;o)
+Kalle Wirsch These Rescue units were originally created to provide rescue to trapped fire fighters in the early 1900's. Something that was unheard of at the time. And by the most part that's still true. However they still provide untold amounts of special services to both the department and civilians. Confined space rescue, high angle rescue from tall buildings, underwater scuba rescue and any type of very difficult and technical rescue situations where even a very, very good trained firefighter simply wouldn't have the training to accomplish fast and proper. These firefighters were the best of the best in the engine and ladder operations. Now they are the elite of the elite. If they can't help you, you are in a grave situation.
I always thought Ladder 4 is the coolest.... nooooooo...... these guys are the coolest ! watch that first respons.... when I stand on your balkony I`ll piss and sh... my pants !
