[Ride along] Engine 25 Seattle Fire Department 

Legend has it that Engine 25 is still telling everyone to "MOVE TO THE RIIIIIGHT".

Thanks for the ride-along guys my last time in the right seat was 2005 when I retired with 33 years of service.

Seattle traffic at its finest. I-5 never disappoints with the south bound traffic.

I would like to take this time to thank station 25. I worked many years close to them and always appreciated and respected them. They passed by my friend's place who worked with me.

That brings back memories. I was an EMT for 5 years with AMR in Seattle responding with these firefighters. That traffic is a nightmare and that was actually pretty light.

Great driving Matt one of the friendliest Fire fighters SFD has ever had. R.I.P

RIde alongs are always good times.

I love the guys in the back giving directions.

Some say they are still trying to make it to the scene.

“When I retire I’m going to be the guy who moves to the left” 😀 lol

18:00 the unmistakable sound of an R32 😎

Here in Toronto Ontario Canada the firetrucks can push you out of their way during an emergency call

Thank you for your Elite service

I swear drivers on the road make emergency responders lives a living hell.

Thank you for your service

I make the following observations as a retired cop, having made a few code 3 runs myself...more than I'd like to count. About 9 minutes into this run, I started asking myself, "where are these guys going, this is a really long trip, was no other engine closer?" (Okay, for those ready to pounce, I understand the fact that if other engines are on call, the next engine may have a long way to go) The code 3 run continues even longer and then, runs into bumper to bumper traffic; stopped traffic. Engine 25 works its way through virtually stopped traffic, moving everyone out of the way. Drivers obviously try to get out of the way, some with great difficulty. This is where accidents occur. Drivers panic and start hurriedly changing lanes. Finally, after several minutes Engine 25 arrives. There are several other emergency vehicles already on scene. At least in the video, nobody appears to exit Engine 25 with any sense of urgency. Did anyone on scene think to say, "any other vehicles in route can cancel?" What is the purpose of trying to part all that traffic like Moses parting the Red Sea and in the end, for no real purpose. Our SOP at the police dept. I worked at stated, "if you don't need to go code 3, don't go code 3. If you go code 3 unnecessarily and there is an incident, be ready to explain your actions."

Wow amazing video♡ Huge respect to these firefighters and all the other firefighters around the world ♡ Greetings from Türkiye ♡

I enjoy watching your Videos and I was a volunteer fireman for St. Helens Oregon for seventeen years and have thinking have changed since I started 1984.

Quite a long and hard route to get there! Good job getting thru the traffic!

Thankyou for the ride along Gentlemen, Absolutely Cool!!! Stay Safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Idk why but watching these videos are satisfying

that was 1 crazy ride along

Nice engine sound

This was the closest engine company? Really, over 8 minutes just to get to the freeway?

To all the people that say their time was slow. Responders have to keep THEIR safety and safety for people around so they don’t end up causing an accident. “Due regard for other” is what responders have to go by. If you don’t believe me.. google that quote. Good job to the responders that had to fight through that traffic.

“MOVE TO THE RIGHT FOR SIRENS & LIGHTS!!” Seattle traffic’s not quite as bad as NYC, KUDOS MY SFD BROTHERS,nice response!!!

Nice tour of the city guys!

Legend has it that he's still saying "Move to the right"

Thanks for the lift. Great driving. I expected you would get canceled right before you got there. Thanks and Stay safe! 🚒🇺🇸

Love you guys big hug

People have no idea how wrong directions can be. In an Emergency callers get confused, forget their address, don’t know the street name. Remember your loved one could be injured and in need of assistance. Always move to the right! Quickly! The Golden Hour is only an hour.

Nice response guys, stay safe out there!

engine 25 rocks you guys are my heroes

The men and women of the Emergency Responders do a great job every single day! Yet, they don't get where credit is due. Make sure you thank them when you drive by your local Fire Department.

Yay! A new ride along video!

nice little sight seeing tour

Whatever Seattle has for traffic rules or cooperation works damn well. I have never seen so many drivers yield anywhere. The glaring exception was the amateur U-Haul nitwit, which one should always expect that from them.

*Only if ppl knew how hard it is to be professional when dealing w/Moran drivers, especially in traffic situations when using the PA(loudspeaker), occasionally it can be the hardest part of the job...GREAT WORKS GUYS & COOL VID*

Nice work engineer...I used to be a tillerman for kcmofd those e-one tiller are killer I tell ya no suspension what so ever.

I Love the diesel engine sound. Mixes well with the siren.

Great elite driving

I have to give it to you first responders-drivers! Tough job and still care.😊

🇧🇷 Parabéns! Ótimo trabalho ! Que Deus os abençoe!

As someone who is born and raised in a small town in the south east this traffic always blows my mind. Thats my entire county in one shot lol

NICE RIDE

Sometimes it's a whole lot faster to go down th ramp into oncoming traffic but that opens up its own risks. Depends on departmental rules too. You HAVE to follow those. The ambulance squad in my old area would routinely go the wrong way on a 1-way if it was running code

Emerald City. Love you Seattle ☔

this video is awesome! a true response, a real ride along!

Move to the right 😂😂

Outdated driver training by Seattle FD! Drivers are actually being taught to pull to the left on divided highways. These guys basically isolated themselves in the left lane when they could have split traffic and you can see the right lanes moving more freely in the video!

Awesome! Let's Go! 🔥🧑‍🚒🚒🇺🇸

I could listen to them talk all day... idk why hahaha.

THANKS 4 THE VIDEO FROM LIBERTY KY BOB

Meine Güte, was für eine Berg- und Talfahrt zu Beginn. Und dann ein wunderbares Beispiel dafür, dass es ohne das Konzept Rettungsgasse (was da gänzlich unbekannt zu sein scheint?) offenbar auch nicht schneller geht als mit Rettungsgasse. Lustige Szene mit dem Umzugswagen und den dadurch ausgelösten Unmutsbekundungen der Feuerwehrleute, schöner Slang. :D

OMG, that was excruciating.

🤪 thankyou for you dow Your fan sandra.s Boston mass 🇺🇸

"Move to the right"... That cool German guy is like, "Is this a techno song?"

great job on the ride along like to see that keep it up 🚒

Good that we've got the rescue Line rule in every street on Germany

The traffic part is where a que siren comes in handy.

Some fire trucks even have the ability to control traffic lights from an distance so they can just go thru green.

Hats off 2 u guys u guys should've had the u-haul truck and the car that pulled over 2 the lt side of the freeway u guys did an awesome job of clearing the traffic and well said on the p.a system

You can clearly see that right lane is moving much faster the entire time !

Engine #25 the Boss of Seattle.😊

Woww...In USA the Fire truk engines are the King of the road. 👍👍👍👍👍

Man, the longest Code 3 response I’ve seen (heard) in quite a while. That was a LONG ride to the first call.

I miss the response banter while riding the seat.... Retired in 2015 after 32 years

Why would the on scene units not cancel E25 as soon as they arrived on scene and did their size-up? And was there seriously no closer unit than E25 to respond to that location had their response been absolutely necessary? I hold Seattle Fire in high regards and they indeed ARE a top notch department, no matter what all the arm-chair QBs say, but this whole call was a bit of a soup sandwich. I would use it as a training video myself.

I like that siren!

That’s station is huge!

BTW, as for the U-Haul at 8:30, most of the people driving them have not driven anything bigger than a Civic, and they have probably had less than an hour driving time in a truck. They are nervous as hell just driving it... and about to enter I-5? Expect the unexpected.

Speak to them! I need to where ever at the moment. To many in one place. Emergency calls; we are stucked!😊

He could've just said mooooo and the herd will understand.

Don't bother getting out of the way it's only a big red fire engine with lights, air horn, and a siren. It's Seattle, Washington rush hour with people that are driving stoned. Stay Strong Stay Safe.

In Austria Denmark France any slow traffic or jam, all the cars split left and right to leave free passage for Emergency Vehicles.

And Germany complains about a lack of escape route. In this video, this is a disaster.

My goodness, exactly how far did this engine have to go before reaching its destination? I am thankful I do not live inSeattle. Probably run the risk of dying before the FD gets there!

We need everyone . Every breath 🫁

luv this vid with interstate hwy 5. must b rushhour in seattle.

Good driving...

A fire truck with lights and sirens and a u haul decides he has the right of way

That’s 1 heck of a long run

You'd think US drivers would have a bit more respect for emergency vehicles, they don't have the luxury of having their lights and sirens on for fun. They'd be shouting loudest if they were the ones in trouble

Was this shot in 2010-2011? We don't have those SPD or WSP cars anymore and the SFD units have changed @ 25.

Go,Seattle FD! I believe in you!

Nice

never seen anyone so afraid to use the siren

удачи и сухих рукавов!!!

Jeeze those vehicles look prehistoric

Oh you poor people.... you had to wait for cars to move....

They need to have a designated emergency lane for fire and ambulance

So much traffic. When they finally reach their destination, the cat already got down from the tree on its own.

Always a small steps . Let's bridge the gaps with honor

Can’t believe it wasn’t raining.

Nice save by back step.

And they aren't sure if their going southbound?

Unfortunately guys are late for party....lol...great job anyway,been in Seattle many times I know how sucks it is driving in traffic...when traffic that bad

Why are they still going after 20 minutes. The issue was already taken care of by the time they arrived

Rode down at station 10 great bunch of guys being from the east coast and riding on the west coast it’s different

What are they supposed to do? It's clogged up.
