First due cardiac arrest, 2nd due MVC roll-over 

lmao

MegaJohnhammond 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

Haahhaha

Sundawn moter Bikes And you can’t understand a joke.

@Sundawn moter Bikes r/wooosh

Thank you Susan!

Sometimes the people ask them not to use them

😂😂

@Jacob Webber Does that sound just when you get a call at the station, or do it also go off like ours does here EVERY DAY at noontime? If I was living in your neck of the woods, I would rather have it just go off ONCE at noontime everyday, wouldnt know how long it would take to get used to hearing this go off maybe Many times during the day, and most definiatly Hopefully not at nighttime.....LOL

on god

Toru4 I agree

Toru4 it even does that during a tornado too because of a tornado sirens too

RTobi (Rummeltobi) Thanks RTobi! I like that Chevrolet Suburban too!

You ought to see what the New 2021 Tahoe and Suburbans are going to look like totally NEW front and rear ends, will saqy even better looking than these ones......

@@pizzasubs I've seen how they look like. It will probably take me some time to get used to those but I'll start liking them at some point 😄

@@pizzasubs 21 tahoe and suburban look like shit.

Training not trying

Shane Shroyer the effectiveness of changing siren tones at an intersection has been proven “effective”. Personally I’ve had more success with air horns than any siren.

A powercall is all you need

“Were,” not “was.”

I felt that accent 🤦‍♂️

Jack Lemmon Thank you Jack!

Wow. I had a question... When you certified, did you have to learn extra skills due to the fact that there wasnt very many units around (especially ALS)?

@@majorpizza383 We have what is called "expanded scope" of practice. Basically, if your physician sponsor signs off on a skill, you can do anything the physician allows. I am an EMT-2, which would be fairly close to what was an NR EMT-Intermediate. As a EMT-2, my certification allows me to start IV's, IO's, and give a few basic medications. If I had current expanded scope like I did with a previous employer, I could also give CPAP, Diphenhydramine, Epi 1:1000 IM/SQ, Nitrous Oxide, Nitro (not script and w/o calling Med Command), D5, King Airway, IGel, Combi-Tube, 12 Lead procurement, and even stitching. I work with a Paramedic, and I help them with a large amount of things on scene, or if I have to stop the ambulance. There are many things that I can't do of course.

Thomas Fletcher Thank you Thomas!

Joshua Fleming Thanks Joshua!

Thanks for watching Mateo!

-Thunder - Bear- Thank you Thunder Bear!

Arlyn Mcadorey Thank you Arlyn!

Jr_Firefighter99 Thank you!

Of course it is... it’s them literally responding to call

Riley Evans Thanks for watching Riley! That is the old firehouse. The one we currently operate out of was built in 1972.

Yes. We call them the Go Team.

Brian Beattie Thank you Brian!

Dirtman707 Thank you Dirtman!

Alvin Copeland It is normal to use the siren when responding/transporting in emergency mode.

apple pen We are allowed to use GPS, however many of us have found it to be unreliable quite often, so we end up not using it the majority of the time.

It’s a volunteer fire department, the siren is usually mounted on the station itself, and sounds when a fire call comes in.

Paul Sale Thanks for watching Paul! I believe it was due to the information on dispatch. The incident was initially believed to be much more serious than it turned out to be. The chase unit provided ALS providers, the ambulances provided BLS transport, the Ladder truck provided rescue tools and manpower, the Engine provided manpower and water if needed for a cut job, the police made a large response also believing the accident was much more serious than it turned out to be. Everyone arrived within a few minutes of each other. Many units cleared once it was understood there was no entrapment, minor injuries and not multiple patients.

@@SpeedbirdFF thx

Most fire dept members cannot have any lights in their personal vehicles in my area. If we could, and I could choose any set up, I would prefer red over blue. Best option would be two colours and I would choose red and white. Red is much more visible than blue and white obviously is brighter than red. So I believe that would be the best combination for visibility/safety.

Corde1129 3 Troopers plus the Laurel city unit. The incident was reported to be much more serious than it turned out to be, usually we don't have this many police units on-scene!

Whelen Powercall.

Yes. Our units can cancel the County Medics if not needed.

@@SpeedbirdFF whats the size of you guys coverage area?

Delmar MD/DE is split between two states. The Paramedics in Delmar are certified in the State of Maryland and have Delaware Privileges. It's a teird system in Delaware so all FDs are BLS with the exception of Delmar.

That is why County Paramedics respond to every ALS call on the Delaware side even if there is a Delmar paramedic is already responding.

Joe joe 3702 In this video both calls are in Delaware.

I don’t think that’s possible

It's not a button but a device that sends out an infrared light.

Yes, it's called an Opticom. It is built into the lightbar and automatically activates when the emergency lights are on. It can be shut off separately as well, when needed. The newest one's are infrared, older ones are detected by the white strobe light.

@@noaha4895 it is

Edwin Ortega Thanks for watching Edwin! We are in a unique situation, so the answer to your question is potentially complicated, however to keep it simple, I’ll answer this way. We are on the border of Maryland and Delaware. We run ambulances with an EMT (BLS) and a Paramedic (ALS) and all of our ambulances are ALS equipped. This set up is standard in Maryland, however in Delaware ambulances are BLS staffed and equipped (by Fire Depts) and Paramedics/ALS units are provided by County governments only. Delmar had paramedics long before the State of Delaware did and is an exception. In this video the calls were on the Delaware side of the border and they also respond. In that County the Paramedics respond in chase units/fly cars (whatever terminology you prefer) and meet ambulances on-scene.

Ok Bucket list to visit your station 🇵🇷🚑👍

Edwin Ortega Stop by anytime! 👍

@@SpeedbirdFF So in Delaware all ambulances are staffed by BLS staff and get backed up by paramedics in separate vehicles? Is that only in regional areas or also in the cities too?

Don Coleman For the most part everywhere in Delaware operates this way. I believe the City of Dover contracts with a private ambulance company for BLS/ALS service. I’ve been told that anyway. If that’s not entirely accurate then it’s likely Kent County ALS chase units would assist that company. In Wilmington there is a private ambulance company that handles BLS calls and New Castle County ALS chase units handle the ALS needs. Those are the primary urban cities in Delaware. Everywhere else, that I am aware of, Fire Dept’s handle EMS in a BLS capacity and Counties handle ALS by way of chase units.

FireFighter303 10 This one is in Delaware.

Power Call

Greg Ameele 👍

Nope. I’m from the west coast though. I think it ruins a good response video lol

Greg W. Thanks for watching Greg. No, 102 will remain available for calls. They would respond with one paramedic and a second medic unit, a supervisor unit staffed with one paramedic would also respond to back them up. In Sussex County, two paramedics respond to the call initially. One paramedic can transport in most cases. If it's a serious patient then both paramedics would transport. In this case, the patient did have two paramedics and an EMT in the back giving care, it was one DFD firefighter/paramedic and one County paramedic.

jslost It means response area. A fire station’s own response area is it’s first due. Responding on a box as the second closest station you are 2nd due, and so on.

SpeedbirdFF Thanks! Is it short for another word? From where does that word usage originate?

jslost I don’t believe it’s short for any other word. I’ve always thought about it in the same way you would talk about bills being due. If your car payment is due on the 1st of the month, and it’s the 1st, then the bill is due to be paid today. If your fire engine is responding to a fire down the street from the firehouse, it’s a first due fire. Beyond that I don’t know the origins of its fire service usage.

Eli McKenzie In Delaware all emergency services may use red and blue lights, if they choose to do so. Medic 102 is a Sussex County, Delaware unit. In Maryland Fire and EMS cannot use blue. Delmar’s units are registered in both States, therefore cannot use any blue.

Anyway, good stuff! Keep up the good work.

Just Chilling Thanks for watching JC! Police respond for a variety of calls. Motor Vehicle Collisions are on of the most common because they investigate the situation and in many areas also perform traffic control. Police also respond for overdoses, suicides, unattended deaths, assaults, shootings, stabbings, situations in which we have to force entry into a house, unattended minors, industrial accidents or any other generally unknown/suspicious circumstance situations.

TheFilmMixer101 There’s no Engine 50 but Station 5 is near-by.

Zx MrRsWaGgEr Zx I need to know, too

Zx MrRsWaGgEr Zx have you seen Miami police department

@@iowa5378 yea i live there i watched all their videos already

Zx MrRsWaGgEr Zx I forgot, there’s a channel (forget what it’s called) that does these with LAPD. Idk if you’ve seen them. If not, I could find the channel for you

@@ed5649 that would be awesome

ATTACKER45 THE BEAST: A majority of Fire/EMS is volunteer in the US. Some of these departments are combination and rely on paid, in-house staff and volunteers. Often times, a call will come in and the in-house crew will respond first. Additional personnel would be notified via pager, radio and if outdoors, the county/city siren.

@@mattbecker5876 yea we have one on our volunteer fire department

My town has this too. It sounds like a nuke alarm going off but only goes off for fire calls, not EMS calls.

OutNProud500 if it sounds like a “nuke alarm,” then it’s either a 2T22 or a 3T22. Only difference is one can do hi lo, the other can’t

Some places use them to warn people that emergency responders will be on the road, there's a small City a few hours away from me that has a volunteer fire department and they use the siren to get the volunteers to the station.

The rural town I grew up in NC has a siren at the station like that, but likely for a different reason. It's a volunteer fire department, and many of the firefighters are farmers, working in fields, chicken houses, hog houses, turkey houses, etc. The siren would be an immediate alert audible for miles to all the volunteers. They have pagers, radios, etc. But this was an extra way of alerting people since there's no crew at the station waiting to respond like full-time firefighters.

@@Jolly_Green23 same here in NZ well in my town lol its a ww1 warning siren and everyone is confused at first lol but since they are all volunteers then yeah like you say I think it's another way to alert volunteers
