responders need lunch too :). Where I work there are always firemen shopping there. park their truck right down the side of the building. sometimes they get a call and ask us to hold their product. (which we do) and we give it back when they return
Wow a lot of heavy traffic at the end! I’m a junior firefighter and we got calls about structure fires, male/female downs, MVA inj, explosions almost everything y’all get.
Well by law they are allowed to use their cell phones and that was a second so it's not like is texting and driving or continues looking at his cell phone so there's no big deal here.
Why is everyone so quick to judge? I first saw the cellphone before I read the comments and when I saw it I thought "I wonder why he needs that for navigation, don't they have MDTs?" But everyone else instantly went to texting while driving... Even Tri-State Fire explained it was for navigation and people still went crazy.
Nice ride along with some lessons: #1 don't use a cellphone while driving anything especially in a code 3 mode, #2 visibility first, national pride second, #3 air horn training needed. ;-)
Benjamin Beytekin #1 Typically the cell phone isn't in play. The computer system has been junk recently as he was checking the mapping on the electronic application. #2 The flag does not affect our visibility, only the cameras. #3 It and the Federal Q help move traffic the most and make the most noise.
Ok, ok! I know #2 is only bad for the video audience ;-) #3 some more interval horn than a continous horn you know. Nevertheless I don't wanna be a teacher. Take care guys!
My dad was a volunteer for 23 years in a small town so everyone basically knew him. Anyway when someone was driving with the wail he would either turn the wail off or cut the cord to that siren. He thinks wails on fire trucks sounded I don’t wanna say gay but eh
@tcthompson811 Your dad sounds like one of those volunteers i cant stand. A siren is a tool to help get you on scene safetly and efficiently. I wish he would cut the wires at my department. That chief must not have any backbone. Please drop the department!!
@@VlerkeDamne I checked google according to them the traffic advisor lights give directions to oncoming traffic so that motorists know where to drive at a scene
This came up on my feed, I'm from the UK so question, for a MVA, (RTC for us) with entrapment and a possible major trauma what medical response would there be?
G'day. In our county for all MVA's fire, police, and EMS are dispatched. Depending on reports depends on the type of response from EMS. For a regular MVA one squad and a supervisor is sent. It may be upgraded at any point. We had a MVA with a pin a few weeks ago with 4 ambulances on scene. It totally depends on the scenario.
@@tri-statefire768 we have a separate NHS ambulance service, so for a possible major trauma you would get the ambulances for the number of patients each with at least one paramedic, a fast response car with an advanced paramedic, the ambulance service would also send the trauma car with one or two critical care paramedics and a doctor who either a senior anesthesiologist or a trauma specialist, helimed might also respond as a first responder staffing as the trauma car, helimed will be airborne in two minutes from the call and in more rural areas or places with access issues can be first on scene
VERY nice driving but to be honest: I#d be pissed if the co-driver pulls the horn as often as that guy did, i'd just cut it through that he can't honk any more :D
Could be a great video clip, but the flag in cab and thick window divider spoil the view ahead. Driving is good, but way, way too much with the sirens and air horn. Sounds like you are 'demanding' a way be cleared for you. Good driving standard is to use your lights/horns only to get their attention, approach at a lower, constant speed and give them time to move out of the way. A rapid approach with lights & sirens just panics people into doing the wrong thing. But overall enjoyed it.
Dang. Here I thought I'd find a decent video WITHOUT that annoying powercall siren... I swear if they ever install that annoying mess of a siren in our rigs, I'd respond without sirens to literally everything. lol
It's gotta be an east coast thing. because I've never heard that kind of siren except for when I see RU-vid videos from out east. Here in the Midwest, most common is the Code 3 brand, Whelen, and Federal. I guess it's whatever gets the public's attention. lol
Wow ... way to endanger your entire crew there driver.. a split second is all it takes to have an accident.. you should have had your ass chewed out and suspended for 30 days at least for even picking it up behind the wheel of that piece of apparatus!!!
The audio level is different for everyone. Both the horn and the sirens need to cycle from low to high. Keeping it at one level means not everyone can hear it. Intermittent blasts are more effective.
