[Ride along] Light Force 27 LAFD 

The guy driving the truck is beast at driving

Shout Out to that Tiller Driver having to deal with this traffic as well. Great job LACFD

7:13 what a great guy. He’s trying to clear the traffic for you.

I love how the rig roars when it brakes.

Funny how I see the station before we got all the new stuff. Being a cadet at this station is the greatest thing on earth. Full of excitement and adrenaline.

Imagine your house is burning down, and some idiot thinks he should run across the street instead of waiting, holding up the engine coming to save you....

Lightforce is an engine & ladder that always respond together. There's a separate engine that responds by itself. It takes the bulk of the calls. Lightforce usually only responds if the "stand alone" engine is out, or a ladder is needed.

Love the Jake Brake on that Caterpillar engine Sweetest sounding engine.

@utryckninguppsala all the videos uploaded here are made by myself in order to comply with youtube copyright rules. so if you send me something i won't publish it here. however people can upload their stuff directly on rescue911.de with their own account.

Blimey that was a pretty damn awesome video! Loved that driving - and into oncoming heavy traffic! Great job by that person who stopped the traffic crossing just where 76 had crossed. Nicely filmed with that Engine passing and then your LightForce. And that was pretty hilarious watching firefighters go around in golf carts!

The computer showed the location being the philharmonic... I could have sworn there was a another station within a couple blocks of there near the civic center....

When you here lights and sirens MOVE OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY

Love the Jake brakes

To all the women and men of the Fire Department thank you 🙏 for your service!

It's got something to do with Task Forces as a whole. The staffed engine in the task force, in this case Engine 27, would pull right up to the fire with the truck. Then Engine 227, the second engine, would make the hydrant. I'm really sure on the whole thing but that's what I can gather.

Great job keeping calm & patient at the wheel. Insane traffic & pedestrians! Thankfully seems most drivers were quick to maneuver out of the way. Stay safe! 🚒🇺🇸

Hollywood is the busiest city ever!. I would love to work for LAFD.. looks like being driver is extremely fun thing.

Fucks given = 0. Thanks, random guy, for helping direct traffic (7:08). I'm guessing the Hollywood Bowl let out?

How many orange cones died on this run! Orange cone lives matter too😀🍀

I grew up in Hollywood and attended Hollywood High School (where 27’s made that right turn from Sunset Bl. onto Highland Av.) 27’s has always been a great house!

Yes the training and certification is called EVOC - Emergency Vehicle Operator's Course. I am EVOC certified, and trust me, it's hard. They made you maneuver an emergency vehicle in ways that just seem unnatural haha. I am ambulance operation qual'd and I can tell you, driving at high rates of speed against oncoming traffic is a helluva rush!

I'd say more than likely, all that traffic was leaving from Hollywood Bowl. That outdoor amphitheater holds just over 18,000 people hence all the cars and buses. That is a very difficult place to get away from after the concerts are over. Been there, done that.

I find it funny how the guy at 6:30 somehow ignores the fact the left wig-wag is flashing RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.

They seem a little nicer than NY... They would have kept the siren and horns blaring the entire time sitting in traffic lol.

Think They Murdered a Few Cones lol :D

Fire truck blasting through LA, people stuck in an elevator, lights flashing, and security attendants be like "Hiiiii!"

What...a...cluster...Hats off to those guys.

that part was funny when he blew the horn at all those people​how were crossing the road

Impressive driving through all of that traffic by the buses. Sucks to drive through Hollywood like that, especially down Vine -_-.

Give these guys credit!!!!

3:28 is perfect California self-centered attitude. Pushing a BABY STROLLER in front of a Code 3 fire engine, because it's more important that they get their baby safely in front of the emergency vehicle than it is for the truck to get to the emergency.

Loved that horn action at 3:18

I don't know about LA but in San Diego they take a ladder for necessary tools carried on the ladder as well as extra manpower

Love that engine brake

Huge respect to these guys!

Eins der besten und interessantesten Videos von dir.... Weiter so!!!

I noticed a lot of the interior view the truckk was going up and down..is that my imagination or is that the orad or the shocks

"oh lets push my baby stroller in front of this speeding truck with lights and sirens"

4:22 Poor traffic cone, never knew what was happening.

6:00 is just insane.

Wow.. So glad to live in a rural area.

wow that is a nice looking ride on ladder 27 and i like the siren

@westlyr2003 Hollywood isn't a city. It's part of the city of Los Angeles. It's the "entertainment" district of L.A., tho it does have an "Honorary mayor"!

Great video!

@anercy1 Light Force 27 is from Station 27, which has Task Force 27, Rescue 27, and Rescue 827. (I didn't name the LF/TF units, for obvious reasons) and maybe a vehicle or two I missed

yes Lafd basically goes to all calls code 3. unless told to respond non emergency

This film is brought to you in memory of all those cones who made the ultimate sacrifice 😂

@theatomicfart1001 The funniest one is the Mom at 3:27 running across with her stroller. She really could have waited, but then i wouldn't have anything to comment on.

WOW, what in the world was up with all of the busses lined up one behind each other?

I like how they hook up those exaust tubes to the engine's exaust pipe(s) so when they start them up all of it goes straight outside of the building. but the one I keep on forgetting and I do apoligize for asking again but since I am seeing those 2 fans in the window are there, does that mean that these engines don't come equiped with factory air conditioning? Great video. Thanks

Magnificent

@EDBudweiser Think it's Sweet Disposition by the Temper Trap

Oh ok thats cool that they display their safety ratings like that thanks for the info

Props to the tiller operator! Holy shit that was quite the traffic jam.

that traffic....wow!

I wonder why does the LAFD call their ladder trucks "Lightforces" can somebody explain that to me please

Got to love The Temper Trap playing in the engine bay haha good taste in music them LA firefighters.

@Brainscrewer It's a headset similar to the ones helicopter pilots wear. Everyone on the apparatus wears one. It reduces the sound of the siren and allows for hands free use of the radio.

I dont know how this works but after the person becomes a official member of the LAFD, do they have to take some kind of a driving test probably using these excact engines so that they can be the one who gets behind the wheel of the engine, if so, I must say I bet thats one of the hardest behind the wheel tests that there is, this kind of driving, driving the wrong way in VERY heavy traffic is one of the hardest things to do.....

U have to be nuts to drive a massive tiller through that traffic. Good job getting through it

They do it called EVOC(or along those lines) they use similar trucks and simulators.

good work,your the man :-))

LAFD is the best. Period.

7:07. Well done sir. 👍👍

Good on ya guys, Tough callouts but you handled it perfectly, Not pushy at all... Just the way it should be.

Truck 27....puts the hood ornament on the centre yellow line ! Exactly what I do ! They'll move, no worries brother !!! That engine is my second favorite body structure built. The only one I like better, is the one with the open back jumpseats. Two of them. A few minor issues : hot in the summer, transmission in center of partner and I. Nighttime runs, red emergency lights in your face if you're standing up facing forward. If it's raining, you're soaked. Snowing, you're a snowman ! All in all, I like it. Today's style, terrible. Sure. More functional. More room. I also like the seats facing where I came from, not where I'm going :-) Then there's the bay doors, lol. Auto, yes please ! One guy closes then hops on rig, no thanks !! One night, new kid, door kept opening, I forgot About the sensor, lol. I had to learn fast ! Learn how to get SCBA on alot fastr than I was.

whoa This was my response area so I would have had this call if I was on duty this day

Oh,man that was cool ride🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️🤗

3:19 shave and a haircut oh air horn

@eveningniteshade That's called the "Jake Brake", think of it as an engine brake, that stops the engine from providing power to the axles, then in turn the truck's mass stops it, ImRatherTall has the idea nailed

Shout out to Temper Trap Sweet Disposition (:

What siren do they use here? I have been searching for it but cant find it.

Gotta love LA! :P

@billyfrmhill As far as I know, I think 27 has Task Force 27 (T27, E27, E227), Rescue 27 (The older model E series ambulance), Rescue 227 (Newer model E-series, not in video)

Anyone know what is this siren, not the EQ2B but the wail one

Motorola Astro Siren. Sounds exactly like the Federal PA 200 siren and old Interceptor sirens.

0:45 Sweet Disposition!

7:20 props to the guy getting out of his car to help get traffic out of the way.

Fairfax County doesnt respond priority 1 to a stuck elevator unless someone is panicing or medical emergency.

that sucks especially when emergency vehicles have to get around they blocking the street

looks like they were in a bit of trouble

Good ol LA traffic looks like ks traffic on rush hours morning and evenings with road construction

Wow! Always wondered how emergency services handled getting through a traffic jam!

Nice job

I also wondered this about LAFD's Light Forces, how many crew members are assigned the engine? I know what it's role is (I think I do anyway), but does it have just the driver-operator and someone catching the seat or is it a full crew of four FFs?

do LAFD always go code 3 with a light force for a stuck elevator ? or was there something special ?

@2:52 Awesome! :D

So can you give any details as to what the call was about and what all happened

just look for the video of engine 27 responding to a medical call near hollywood bvd

Awesome!

Nevermind on the lightforce saw it in a comment but if anyone knows about the classes that would be awesome thanks

Do you shoot all the videos on this channel by yourself? Or can people send you their material? Nice video btw!

It's the ISO(Insurance Safety Office) Class rating. At one point LAFD lost their Class 1 rating, but I think they gained it back. More info see iso.com

I my home city, the fire dept has a device to make all the traffic lights go red in all directions.

What type of event was going on Holly hell that is a lot of traffic

cool video

whats going on at 6:30 when all buses parked in street?

You have to love LA traffic.

The light force 27 says BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE ENGINE 227 HAHAHA HAHAHA

Can somebody please tell me the song playing @0:43
