Awesome video and I love that 2017 Ford F-150 at 10:32! Thank you guys so much for keeping us safe. My dad is a volunteer at my towns fire department and I'm 15 so maybe when I'm 17 or something I'll probably be joining my self.
I always like these POV dispatch videos... The viewer gets an idea on just how large a particular fire district can actually be, and how far they have to travel to answer an emergency call!
seriously, does ANYONE pull to the shoulder and stop for fire or police anymore? cause as i was taught, wether you are on the same side of the road as the emergency vehicles or the opposite side of t he road, you still need to pull to the side of the road cause you dont know where the vehicles are going to go or where they are going to turn when running code
Just started on the job a few months ago, caught a call 25 minutes away with light traffic. It was nerve wracking to think that (while we were just back-up) someone could have been waiting for 25 minutes before we showed up. Cheers to all fellow firefighters!
Like going along for the ride--pretty countryside and courteous drivers. Really hope no animals or people were hurt but things didn't look very good once on arrival. Thanks!
Yeah my guess is that this was a different department who just wasn't on 1st call till they needed the back up. The town I live in had a huge fire sometime last year and around 35 different departments ended up coming. The farest was like from 30 miles away...
Nitrogentrihydrid the main siren goes at a constant pace. however, the long drawn out tone is controlled by the firefighter in the front passenger seat
here we cover approx 3500 square km a huge area for a fire brigade of 8 active FFs , and when other fire departments out side our area are busy we can be called to back them up too. some areas we respond to a very remote . but again we can be anywhere between 10min and 2.5hrs away from an incident unfortunately
It was a huge emergency just like when in my neighbor hood someone had a fire and firefighters from different county's has to come a chief car and truck was their too
Phillip Stewart I totally Agree, as a former firefighter...we're definitely a different kind of people, I mean not everyone can do it, shoot it's not just for anyone...Gotta have guts to do this...it takes guts, caring for others, and putting ourselves in danger, making sure they are safe. My thoughts and prayers fire fighters, both active and inactive. I say both, we all active/inactive. Inactive because i/we have nightmares due to some of things I have seen, like remembering my first firefight...it was a 3 alarm dispatch / we were the first to respond, and I remember and will never forget the smell of flesh. That's something you'll never forget. Anyways...cheers to ALL firefighters
You can tell when emergency vehicles are on either coast. Because coastal areas have developed liberal entitlements. That say our personal right and entitlement to the highway is far more important that emergency vehicles right to save lives and property of others. And we have just as much right to the road as emergency vehicles.
Code red is horrible cause all the units the firefighters the police the ambulances code 3 is kinda horrible cause don't you see it causes the damages if there was a fire huge
Kinda useless of more men/equipment "IF" the existing men/equipment can't get to the fire because of fire equipment traffic jam!!!! Always felt sorry for country folk because their fire departments are voluntary and usually the fire is a complete loss. :(
