Fire Response On ICE - MVA rollover accident on the interstate. 

"I don't care how long it takes to get there, I just want to get there" Great sentence. So true!

Key thing the officer says "I don't care how long it takes us to get there as long as we get there" should be known for all drivers nice video

Smart driving...Good comment... "you don't do anyone any good if you don't get to location"

Thank you to those people who actually moved out of the way while the fire truck was coming through. Nice video. Great response time. Hope no one was hurt! Didn't look like it.

Good communication between Officer and Driver, Head sets are in use, nice siren and horn work, nice drivin. I overall have nothing bad to say, awesome video!

probably the best lookin fire response I've ever seen.

very nice response video, one of my favourites! Not too fast and not too slow, nice use of the siren and horn, really liked it. (also not too much snow :)

Great job guys.. Nice response time.. I live here and when it ice's up like this it's really slick..

That was a good response time. My city takes 20 mins to respond a couple blocks away but our station is all volunteer

"I don't care how long it takes for us to get there, as long as we get there." Very wise words

Good driving! Truck was in control at all times!

when i saw the truck moving backwards i was thinking "captain the truck is slidin' away!" but then i heard the airbrake being set

The cab looks like the same we have on our 6-1 tanker. iChat really have it away was the seat belt alarm! And the two touch screens in the drivers side and officers spot

@WorldTechToday the inside cab cabinet is wired to the "open door" light. if you listen youll hear the roll up door go up and back down. that is when the light comes on and off. not sure why it is wired that way...

@tmwizkid nope, not wrong. They are a "multiplex" system made by Weldon engineering. The ones in this truck are the first generation of them. They are neat, and control alot of stuff. I think there is a speedometer there too though...

at 6:10 I saw the truck backing up thought "Holy crap, nobody is in the truck and its backing up" but then I heard the door close lol

ive been trin to find the good old loveland fire video for months!

@firefightercharles i don't remeber who built the body, but the cab is a Spartan gladiator classic.

The two screen's (one on the driver side the other officer) are touch screens in which you can control pretty much everything such as lights, heat, exhaust break etc. my fire company recently purchased a 2010 crimson with these touch screens. Now if I am wrong please do let me know.

Its a pretty nice town...not too big not too small....only like an hour away from denver, so if you ever want to do anything its not too far of a drive

it is the "door ajar light". When I went to get the Med Kit out of the cabinet inside the cab (you can hear me rolling up the door) It set the light off. Stupid that the inside cabinet door is hooked to the door ajar light if you ask me...

@WorldTechToday Typically that's to allow the driver and officer know when there's a compartment or cab door open while the truck is in gear. Someone may have opened the door prematurely, or perhaps something else. Not sure, it varies from truck to truck. That's just how my department has our trucks set up.

Thanks

Love responses in the snow

perfect camera angle

first i want to thank you for doing one of the most hardest jobs to do and second i love to get an idea how firefighters work when its a big alarm fire 3 alarm fire? we just had that up in dover nh i got video of the fire. I think its damn cool we had so many towns come to help which i don't see firefighters getting enough credit at all

@HankySpanky51 ??? i promise you that is a Real Federal Q siren. Yes, the big one. It is a newer engine and it was pretty darn cold so it may sound different (plus the video is on the inside of the cab) but i assure you, it is the real thing. not the electronic one.

I have looked through many of my tapes and I haven't found any more. I did film a field fire yesterday so I will get that posted soon. I am no longer a firefighter so getting new footage is difficult.

Very nice video! do you have any more to share?

gotta hate those early morning calls

here we ahrdly have to use our sirens, and we still manage an average response speed of 40 mph in city traffic

Nice driving on ice. Up here in NY they don't know how to drive in snow or on ice

bad enough you have to put up with crazy ass drivers but here you have to worry about icey/snowy roads.Sometimes it's more dangerous getting to the scene than the scene itself.

That's awesome. Like a train.

great quality vid

its in Colorado and when it snow IT SNOWS A LOT.so they wait until the it gets done then they clean the roads as for the people... well they can't even though the light is green if a cop saw them move while the truck was passing they would get a citation for failing to yield to a first responder

Nice vid

what do you use to record?

They Were probably assessing the situation... The vid cut off so you never know what they did afer

holy shit! people pull over w/ just lights!!!!!

Hey :D I was in Loveland, CO before 25 days :D

What was the red flashing light in the cab as you pull up to the accident?

I thought the engine was rolling away at the end!!! assuming the driver was still in the truck?? or hoping atleast

interesting horn they got on there lol.. sounds very different

must be nice to get brand new truck that sees action about 2 times a year in detroit our rig are shit and we almost see a working fire every other day

Only one guy out of that crew is smart enough to wear a Helmet but none of them are smart enough to wear a safety vest

whats up with the horn?it kind of sounds like a regular truck horn mixed with a car horn.Ive never heard somthing like that.

which firefighter are u of the three walking from the engine

thats awesome i know exactly where you are at i live in greeley.

what are the driver and leader are using for headsets ? to comunicate ?

Is that a speedometer of the Officer's side?

What are those displays left n right in the cockpit?!

Ha-Ha, 6:00 in the morning and you blast the air horn and spool up the siren for no reason whatsoever as you pull out of the station. I'll bet the dozens of people in the apartments 50 ft away really love you guys

Holy hell!!! Speed limit 75? Damn

what i mean is like what happens when one or towns cover for that that and that that town start to have a three alarm fire? i do love this video get to ride shutgun with firefighters. i also wonder if police have got in your way no on purpose of course.

Is this a Spartan engine?

Why do you use the siren only occasionally? Here in NC it's required that anytime the lights are on the siren must also be on (unless you just pull up to the scene).

looks like they almost made it to loveland, almost.

what kind of engine is this?

The driver in the first car at the light is very stupid just staying there. You can see you guys changed the lights so they can get going and get out of the way so you don't have to drive in the snowy part of the road.

Just a standard SONY camcorder on a tripod...

What's it like living there?

Why would they need their helmet if there was no fire?

@WorldTechToday i would also like to know....

what's that light that flashed at 4:50??

Where was this?

Very nice to see you back up to make room for the "meat wagon"! Far too many Fire Dept's forget this??

look in the title... MVA with injuries

Am I hearing things or does this thing have a horn that came from my girlfriends Saturn?

what was the final for snow fall lol

it's real, it doesn't sound like a dying cat

volunteer or paid?

Crew should be using the electronic siren as the primary siren & the Q as a secondary. More effective & easier on the electrical system.

not a bad video, could have used a little more Q

Yea,dk WTH the other is talking about. That siren is obviously a Q.

you live in fort collons i live in greeley

jesus, the speed limit is 75?! 4:32

LMAO i live in loveland, i drive on that road every day to work

it's always fun driving in the snow and on ice in a $600,000 rig isn't? =P For the stupid people i used sarcasm

congratulation a drive a firetruck

thts illegal u run lights u must run scirnes no matter what

sounds fine to me?

@nathan lambeth Not true. You're allowed to use lights only.

typical of Colorado, why plow or salt when it will eventually melt

must've been a bitch to drive. nice job guys

Firecom Headsets...

Must not be "old school" since you clearly cant tell the difference in a none electric federal Q vs a electric Q.. New engines or better sound shielded.

6:12 scared me

The siren is terrible. Sounds like a stuffed toy is stuck in it. Yuck. There is nothing like a real Fed Q freewheeling. That's what makes a real fire truck. (Me = old school).

wheres the cops

in AZ our local fire company beats DPS by around 30-50 minutes, depending on how many Mexican looking people they got pulled over at the time..

need opticoms dude!

The Engineer(Driver) should not be wearing his Fire Coat while driving. It is against NFPA rules.

(n a case like this wqhere the roads were in this kind of condition, have you guys ever had to put tire chains on any of your fire units and if so, know that you want to get to a call as quickly as possible, no matter what the road conditions may be, but with chains on your vehicles, you can only go a certain speed or you can break them, I did something worse one time, I was doing a deliverly business with my own vehicle, and I had to put chains on nut I guess I totally screwed something up after I thought I put them on the right way, Got back in my car, took of and only after a coupe blocks, they came unhooks and totally wrappede themselves around my car's axles, so I had to pull over, get out my jack, completly jack up the sides of my car, take off both wheels and completly unwrap the chains from the axles, that took me over and hour back then, hope I never have to put chains on again......

@HankySpanky51 there is nothing wrong with the q dummy

Haha Loveland one mile

So your blaming me for causing a crash when I was no where near where it occoured really buddy? and also blaming me for this thing when I DO NOT EVEN OWN A DAMN SUV. I only have models of suv's. I was sorry for calling you a idiot but now you blame me for a crash I was not even close too. by the way at 2:08 they did the right thing and stayyed out of the way

To protect their head.

seriously barely hitting the siren at intersections put the siren to use it wont bite and the driver acts like hes scared to drive
