Tanker 60 responding to assist 50 with a reported dwelling. Chief 50 and Truck 50 arrived on scene and confirmed a furnace malfunction and held it to Engine 502 Engine 54-2 and Truck 50. West Willow Fire Company.
I know it may come off as strange, but hearing the sirens and horns from a rig is the absolute best thing to me. I know it means someone is in trouble and what not, but just hearing them from a distance as they close in...sends chills down my spine.
I live right across the street from a station, and hearing the sirens wind up and start blaring is so amazing to hear. If I could get that sound as a ringtone or alarm I'd be a happy man.
its a natural response that most have including myself... Thats the sole reason these kind of videos are posted for people like us.. who else would want to see a video of a truck driving?
It always amazes me, that when a BIG Fire Truck is coming along the road, with horns and siren blaring, drivers still drive straight through the intersection. Les
I got sideswiped on my motorcycle by another motorcycle when I stopped for a fire truck pulling out of a station. The other motorcycle was completely unaware the fire truck was there when he asked me why I stopped at a green light.
I live in Canada, people always pull over for any emergency vehicle. It will be like 2 blocks away and people on both sides of the road will pull over and stop
Sage Watson I was changing a tire on the side of the road in Osborne village in wpg and the ambulance was coming down the same lane of traffic and then it just went into the opposite lane of traffic cause there was no cars
Don't ever do that. I been called witness after a guy "aware of his surroundings" drove to the side and got t boned by someone who wasn't. Always put YOUR safety first.
It makes me cringe when I watch these awesome videos and see all the non-yielding morons. Makes me wish I could scratch a citation to every one of them. When I see a fire rig or ambulance rolling code, if I am at an intersection, I will hit the overheads and hold the intersection for them (especially if they are busting a red in their direction), and if I am on the roll, I will stop, then watch out for and stop the worst offender. Failure to yield and non-restrained children are my 2 biggest pet peeves. It's tough enough rolling code in a car. I can't even imagine how the Engineer must feel. Nothing but respect for those guys. Plus, they are going to be the ones who come to my aid if anything happens to me. Great driving! I have to stop ranting LoL. Stay safe out there.
Powercall, Q2B, and air horn, sounded really good on that truck. The hypercall (I think that's what it's called) in the beginning of the video, sounded really good too!
thanks for the ride along fire rescue 50🇺🇸 my hat goes off to yall and to all fire fighters, always first on scene and always last to leave🇺🇸👍 Thank You to all fire fighters who read this🇺🇸
Nice video brother rock on I was a fire explorer for 6 years I know what it's like, I love the sound of the q and horn it's the best thing u could hear
Love it, absolute beauty of a Q, thank y'all for all you do. Honestly I've never heard a truck out here without a Q, I don't think we even put actual electronic siren systems on apparatus, just a Q. Both of our medics have Carson EQs as well, they're glorious man, great usage on that horn also
What the absolute hell? FLASHING LIGHTS AND SIRENS MEAN YOU PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP. What don't these people get about that? They just keep on driving! People's LIVES could be at stake!
Mihaly Lukacs cause PA doesn’t have the strict penalties like here in NY. If you don’t pull over it’s a mega expensive ticket!! Speeding through a construction zone 2 times means your license is getting suspended.
Exactly who in the video isn’t pulling over you fucking goof? On coming traffic on the left hand side doesn’t have to pull over u til you learn about the road and first responding laws don’t make dumb comments like these
Gonna end up burning that Q holding it like that. They aren't designed to be at peak for long periods of time. They also aren't as effective when held at peak because it becomes a solid tone that drivers are less responsive to. Otherwise, great response!
I'm from germany. how do you use the Q? is there a button or do you work it by foot? I always thought you can switch it on and off and it's working on automatic.
Drivers can't hear all the audio levels of a Q. Your at a disadvantage to hold the Q at the top end. The best way for all drivers to hear you is let sirens and air horn travel up and down the audible spectrum.
He isn't complaining. It's just advice. Quite often elderly people can't here the siren when the Q is held all the way up. They designed it that way for a reason.
1:10 funny seeing for the FD in the country they know how to use sirens. City they barely use any sirens because of noise. And theres more traffic in the city lol
My (old) chief would have ripped me up one side and down the other for keeping my foot on the Q button. To each his own, but I don't think that is how a 'coaster' siren should be run.
You probably haven't run many calls if you think that lol my captain or CO tells me where to go my job is to watch for dumbasses that don't yield to my flashing lights and sirens and get my crew to the scene safely. 99% percent of the time we know where the call is but there are a million things going through your mind mistakes happen just like here pulling out of the bay.
It was inside the station. We test our sirens every month, but that month someone decided to test it by holding it down for awhile. Then they let off but it didn't stop!
dunno why, but every time i see one of these ride along firetruck response vids with the Q and the horn screamin away, Have a Nice Day by Bon Jovi starts playing in my head.
Also I assume you responded to the explosion at the gas station that used to be there some years ago. I heard it blew windows out of all the trailers at the park there.
