Even in the cold and snowy weather and rain the paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard love respect and appreciate you guys terrific catches as usual way to go ! Joe
When my 18 month old points at the TV and says "whee whoo whee whoo" I know its time for this video. He loves it. Also says "Hi" to the drivers when he can see them.
Great videos. Want to congratulate all those that take the crew safety their 1st priority. Will use the clips of no seatbelt usage, standing up while vehicle is rolling and windows down (hearing conservation) as some great training clips. As being in the fire service for all most 30 years and serving as lieutenant I remember riding the tailboard and open cabs. Safety is now number 1. Look up the fire fatalities from riding in the rigs.
Glad that you do a compilation video at the end of the year, lets me see the few videos that I didn't notice previously! I think its interesting how different parts of the country tend to favor one or two brands of apparatus over others. Nice to see what our brothers to the east are using.
"The real heroes do not wear tight suits, they do not imitate spiders or bats, they can not fly. And sometimes they die trying to do it!" A phrase about firefighters. Best regards from Venezuela.
I drove a firetruck before (my uncle was a West Metro fire battalion chief before he died) It's a feeling that very few get to enjoy tbh. Especially for it's size, it takes off like a Ferrari
The last clips were from a working apartment fire response. I just happened to be in the area and got lucky to get every thing rolling in. FIre was knocked quick so I didn't get any actual on scene video.
At 10:19 or something like that, I nearly had a heart attack. That was a perfect example of someone who clearly didn't pay attention in their driving lessons. If you see an emergency vehicle coming down the street, from the direction that you want to turn, use your head, and let them go first. It is safer and less frustrating for everyone
wow! nice job makeing the vids! must have been ear ringing for a fire engine to blow right past you and sirens blazeing,i guess you would have some sort of ear muffs or mic buffer or whatever those things are called that are fluffy that u put on ur mic. maybe try and do canada? i live in winnipeg so if so since your in the states possbly do south Canada? if so id be very happy along with god knows how many more canadians. if you already made a video of Canadian Firetrucks,i havent yet noticed it yet.
wait...haha...so you just kind of staked out hot corners and waiting for emergency vehicles to go by, and film them with your phone? I applaud you sir. and also like your last name.
That's dedication! I love those pinwheel beacons... how much extra are those... about $5k? :P That blue colored unit was wicked @ +28:16 !!!!! Nice short wheelbase unit @ +42:48. There's one just like it riding on a 4X4 chassis in the mountains near me in Calif. Santa Clara County Fire Engine 4. All in all, I think I like the quints and the three axle heavy rescues the best. .. the Pierces and Gladiator cab units that is.
I used to live in San Jose and drove all over the Santa Cruz Mtns. Loved it, and love these great men and women who are our Fire Depts. Now retired in Thailand. Great compilation of videos. Thanks for posting. Mesmerizing.
Siren type. Q2B, Wail, Yelp, and Priority. Q2B is what makes us gets headaches from fire engines. Wail is basic. Yelp is a very fast wail, and priority is a techno yelp.
