ride along with the FDNY 10th battalion in Manhattan to a hazmat call - by Dirk Steinhardt - www.rescue911.de - New York City, New York, USA - January 2007
I'm impressed with the Batallion Chief here, calmly guiding the driver through a tightass gap and keeping ontop of the paperwork and radio at the same time
The ones in back are a Whelen Hi-Rise - they flip up to a vertical orientation and provide very tall warning to be seen for a long distance over traffic.
I'm a Junior Firefighter in SC, I commend yall guys in NY for what yall do. I couldn't imagine going through what yall do on a daily basis! God Bless you guys! Great Video!
Great vide, just like always, but am a little surprised that you guys actually numbered that bucket truck #13, guess you guys dont think tha't an unlucky number for you, really love it when you told that cube truck to move away from the Hydrent, I remember when I saw pics one time of a car that was parked in front of one at he fireman couldn't find the owner, so they literly put the hose straight through the drivers side window and out the passenger side window to the hydrent...
Some siren controls are also built into the steering wheels or foot pedals on the floor. With Type 3 Medium pumpers in Vic you can press a switch with your foot to change from yelp to wail, and on some supports you press the horn and it changes the siren tone as well as activating the horn.
Honestly if you are able to drive down the streets of NYC you are able to drive anywhere in North America. NYC traffic and the actual size of the streets is just awful.
It's not the safest, but in many departments, the siren control heads are built so that they are only accessible to the driver. In most cases, the siren is built in the middle of the cab so that either can work siren. Driver usually works srien in small departments. When I ride officer's seat, I work the siren usually unless a ranking officer is driving and tells me that they want to work siren.
That is super video, thanks You for sharing! I am a member of theVoluntary Firefighter brigade and even honorary member of our response unit. Why honorary? Unfortunately, I went blind, when I was 15. I have been loving firefighting, firefighters, fire truck since my childhood. BTW, my movie no. 1 is Tower inferno. I closed great friendship with great men from this firebrigade few months ago. My chieff asked to others, they agreed and Vaclav (chieff of response unit) called me and tould: "Heeey, there is NO problem to join our brigade, You are also honorary member of our unit!" I could not believe my own ears! 100 % impossible, 100 % mirracle! I would never have believed that I could be so lucky! I am sure, that was simply will of our Lord, that this situation happened! I am focused to the service called Protection of the population, civil defense, which includes a huge range of activities that I can do with my handicap. I love these videos with firefighting, fire trucks firemen etc. Respect, love and greetings from Prague, stay safe and be healthy!
Yes. And for this one, its also programmed on the Driving Wheel Horn. Left May be a Siren Choice 1 and Right side may be Siren Choice 2 and Middle is Horn/Air Horn.
Two questions.1 st question what type of appuratus was that paralled parked with battalion 10 and next question why at the end of the vid was half of the screen covered?????????
Because it only make sense that it goes down from sections like... lower manhattan from duane st covering battery park and lower and some parts of chinatown... then battalion 2 covers the other west side... battalion 4 covers the lower east side... and not battalion 10 covering battalion 1's side... and where else are they going to stuff battalion 10.. no other vehicle could park inside 10 house.
I am a firefighter from LA and am coming to NY this summer. I was hoping to get a ride along in while I was there. Where would be my best bet to try and ride out at? Any help would be appreciated.
Nice view inside station. Will fdny let you do a ride along from the tillerman view? New York is notorious for double parking just like every other city.
@drunkpolice you might be right but i think your also wrong because you can hear a sound right before the siren goes off, its a click sound its a footpedal
Tinny tiny little "Keep back 200 feet" sign on the back of the ladder truck, I am pretty sure we have to be within 200 feet in order to read that sign.
MDborn&Raised they rotate out crew members off the rigs each tour someone's job is chauffeur then next tour they go back to the truck or engine and someone else takes a turn so on and so forth
Bull. I've seen videos of the London Fire Brigade they don't go any faster. Traffic dictates speed and if you're department is running around at 60 mph you have no traffic.
@crapper1 if you meen the truck @ 2:40,if he is unloading goods,where he should park his truck and he isn´t parking,his lights are flashing so he is working
Can someone help me out, im a fireman in south Louisiana, our chiefs here run in a Tahoe loaded out like state police and bein such they have the full police package, lower suspenion, 150mph, etc. and when i watch these videos FDNY has excursions and 3 light bars with 2 ontop of each other......whats the reason?
