@@FireDeptCoffee I was thinking you used 1 of the cars Fire Fighters destroy regularly for training as a prop, but your comment got me a little bit worried... 😮
Deputy on a different shift hit on as he was running 60mph in his taurus with wrap around PIT bar and broke off one of the bumper mounted blue lights cost fleet services.......1500 to repair it
I’m from Minnesota and this is so true. Those idiots will run into your car when you’re just about at a crawl. Fortunately, the moose are further north and northeast and I’ve only seen one in my life up here.
I witnessed that event once... it was not pretty. Hundreds of gallons of water everywhere in the intersection and the whole thing was shut down for hours of cleanup. I think they had to call in a crane to right the firetruck
We had 2 fire trucks responding to the same fire. One ran a red light, hitting the other fire truck that was coming out of a side street which resulted in totalling a new fire truck and if that wasn't bad enough, a guy in a pick up truck pulled over to the side of the road when he saw the fire truck heading his direction. When the two fire trucks collided, one of them hit the pick up truck that pulled over. The owner of the pick up truck was quoted as saying. When I saw that the fire truck was heading my way something told me to take a right. Not listening to my own advice I got hit. Lesson learned, next time I'll listen to my own advice. You wouldn't happen to know if a good body shop would ya?
As an apparatus mechanic, this is what I vision when a crew pulls in with a wadded up bumper on the front of an engine... Aw so it was a dear? Was it made on concrete and steel? I really enjoy working with the firefighters but there are days I’m wondering is there anything in this world that they cannot break.😂
I work at a custom fire apparatus manufacturer and it's always surprising how frequently we see crashed trucks come in for repairs. I've even seen the aftermath of when a department accidentally sent their rear mount pumper tanker over a washed out road dukes of Hazzard style. I've also seen departments use their brand new engine for drivers training and the kid learning to drive it crashed it into a pole. That truck was only a couple months old.
I can just imagine they've just been called for an overturned vehicle. And he slaps his hand on a guys chest as he tries to walk by and says to all of them, "wait, we have to make a short out of this. It'll be hilarious."
As the son of a fire chief I can tell you this sounds about right. We had a guy have to go to the hospital because another dude turned on one of the hoses and splashed it straight into the first guy's eyes while he was in the brand new fire engine
There is a state trooper in West Virginia, who still remembers the time. My roommate, and I accidentally brake checked him, because I definitely didn’t know that was a cop behind me, and I’m pretty sure the poor trooper still has PTSD from when we told him when he asked why we were slamming on the brakes that there was a Red beady-eyed fox in the road. 😂
I had joes who would mess up up trucks playing the "cereal game," where the blindfolded assistant driver would attempt to eat a prepackaged bowl of cereal without spilling it while the driver drove into every pothole and bump imaginable. Someone eventually got demoted to window enjoyer 🙄
I never hit anything, but I was turning down a side street and there was a car stopped on the side street facing me I stopped, hoping that this car would back up and give me room. Instead, they drove forward hit the pump panel step. When the police arrived, the driver said they didn’t see my fire truck with lights and siren.
There was an accident once in which two fire trucks were going to a call from different directions and t boned each other at the intersection. Pretty sure there was a deer in there somewhere.
I'm thinking man that civilian called it an engine? I'd have said firetruck. Then I watched it again and I realized he's the Fire Chief. Lol I'm an idiot.
The number of times I’ve seen drivers pull in front of the truck unexpectedly because they think we are slow and there is a gap is frustrating. Over 3 tonnes of water and all the equipment, you can’t just swerve to miss them.
Oh, yeah. I had a "deer" "step out in front of my truck" on a snowy day, that's why I went off the road and had to be pulled out. I definitely wasn't less than a year experienced behind the wheel and trying to drift a 1980s Dodge Ram. Definitely a deer.
Seeing our guy being the chef and yelling at them is so enjoyable hahaha we know that guy is nice and funny but when he is angry it's just funny because we know he is not like that 😂😂😂
Lmao this is the best one I’ve seen yet on this channel I just spit my coffee out 💀😂 and yes I know it’s night time right now but I work night shift it’s an odd life I’m just going to bed when most people are waking up to start there work day lol
They probably didn't get fired since They're probably really good firefighters, but they're DEFINITELY getting demoted after that, as well as the repair costs for the damages will be definitely taken out of their combined paychecks. Moral of the story, *always keep your eyes on the road, don't drink & drive, and remember to drive responsibly.*
CRUNCH "Say man, what was that?" "I don't know, felt like it was in the road." "Back up and check." CRUNCH "Yeah, it WAS in the road." "That's good. I thought it was something wrong with my fire engine! I was 'bout to go back to the mechanic and whup some ass!" (borrowed from Eddie Murphy stand up)
