Nice video. I first thought it was Wirt County WV from VERY similar terrain. I didn't read the full title until halfway through then I realized that it was Doderidge.
Many questions about the radar, so i am posting it >>>>>> 1st reason is to document my speed on video and the others coming towards me along with my gps unit, i have had crazy people call in false complaints against me in Louisiana where i vol. before and everyone believed them instead of me. Also documentation in any accident that may occur and that is purpose of video also. 2nd reason is a person that is in front of me may not be paying attn and not see me and if they just happen to have a radar detector then it goes off and they look behind them see my lights and let me pass safely, 3rd reason i used to do safety for trucking companies and clock trucks on hwys to make sure they were not speeding and driving unsafe. i was for a short time a reserve deputy sheriff and swat team medic in Louisiana and was trained in radar use. 4th reason we have very curvy blind spots in mountains in west virginia and the radar will pick up oncoming traffic most of the time and then i know to stay in my lane and to be prepared to stop quick if they come into my lane. i take safety very personally and feel its my best interest to not cause any harm going to help others in harm & another reason, i was on my way to visit my mom in myrtle beach sc, and i was traveling thru tubeville sc doing 35 mph in a 35 zone and my mom warned me about the crooked cops there giving out false speeding tickets to make money off people, well i was stopped and given a ticket for going 48 mph in a 35 mph zone when i was not and had no evidence to prove my case, now i have 3 things to prove my speed radar gps and video with embedded gps.
I myself think you're a good driver some people may think you're going way to fast but if it was one of their loved ones in that truck they would want you to get their asap but stay safe
I rode fire and rescue here in Wisconsin for 13 yrs. In WI you'd be getting some hefty fines for crossing the yellow lines and driving in the center of the road. You must keep yourself safe so you can help the other person.
+Ricky WUVFD In Wisconsin and Illinois and Iowa, they do not consider POV's emergency vehicles. Regardless of how many lights you have on it. Department Chief's say that if you break the road rules responding, that the Department is not liable.My other question is, why don't you record pulling up on scene and if you've only been on the Dept a couple years, Why are you not responding to the station. Firefighters are not very effective without gear and equipment. which are on firetrucks....
i was on way home from work, and 2 others picked up the rescue, and on this video i had my old camera that does not loop record so it cut off before i got there, this was not a fire call, and your rules are different than wv rules so you saying i should follow your rules ?
+Ricky WUVFD Been a volunteer for almost twenty years. I don't talk about peoples driving and i'm not trying to start anything but there was definitely a point at the start of your video that if i was riding with you i would have said something to ya. I've seen a whole lot worse, and i actually refused to ride with someone at one point in time. Other than that good vid.
I live in eastern Kentucky. Your terrain is exactly the same as what I have here. I have heard some of the local chiefs radio their responding units to run lights and siren but not to drive faster than the poster speed limit. The road is just to dangerous to drive them fast.
What do the people care. they do see that you are trying to save a life. It is not one of there own. So what. There kind of people just do not care. They are not heart. you are doing a great job. Never mine them they have nothing better to do. it is not there family.

what up with the, excuse me, crappy emergency lights setup? Emergency lights inside which aren't fitted directly to th windshield and light up the whole car inside? Why? I mean in the darkness and bad weather oncidions in general it gets a lot more dangerous as it gets harder to see the road outside .... All we need for our POVs is ONE LED beacon light on the roof, and maybe one dash light or two grill lights, that's all
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos how about you shut up and go comment on people's videos who cares? YOU can't tell someone else what THEY need.
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos hey ????? i actually moved the front window lights down to dash to reduce the glare, the flash guards dont block it all, but watching the video makes it worse than real life, i could see just fine, i am waiting on the new lights to come in and will take care of that, but really dude you can do what you want in your vehicle and i can do what i want in mine last thing i want is to hurt or kill someone because i did not have ENOUGH OR BRIGHT ENOUGH lights, you should really change your name to enjoybashingfirefighters
+Ricky WUVFD So it is really helped for all firefighter at your place be looks same a christmas tree on every street? Okay, I see this at many north american videos. This mean in opposite that the other drivers on the street be too stupid to see you if you have a smaller warning concept. We here in Germany (and in Europa normally) use a small warning concept and it works normally good. At my other living places Kingdom of Thailand and Philippines works it fine too. Your idea with the radar is a good idea, here we use Black Boxes in our apparatus and goverment cars for can reply the last hours. Every german middle class and high class car have this inside, but you self shold it active manually. Works automatic after an accident.
Please, do not forget, he drives in the United States of America. This country go big with refugees how no other country likes more and the most of them do not pay attention if they drives cars or be pedistrian. So he must warn them all with a bunch of lights! All this is neccercery! Do not forget too, he drives faster as the normal speed limit at this place! So goes many U.S. people confused about the fast driving - I see this often in Germany, Kingdom of Thailand and in the Philippines! The last both countries have an maximal speed on streets but no one looks at this signs.
Does it usually take that long to respond on that highway? I was just asking because the part of Indiana that I come from is flat with a some rolling land.
our county is huge its like 320 square miles population of 8500 and covered by 5 vol fire depts, we responded mutual aid all their members were at work, i just got off working night shift at my safety job at a drilling site, the guy was hurt and transported to hospital and was ok , very lucky to be alive
Ricky WUVFD At 0:30, what would you have preferred them to do? I wouldn't have been sure whether to stop or keep going since there's nowhere to turn to. I would have probably just kept going at a higher speed
well they had several chances to slow down or even stop when i had a safe enough sight ahead, i refuse to pass them when on curve or limited sight distance, so people dont know what to do and some can care less.
I'm all for helping people when it's a emergency, but crossing the double yellow is a accident waiting to happen. You go over the double yellow means your driving is too fast. The double yellow means that all caution is for both directions. I thank you for your services but you are endangering other drivers that also have familys. Slow down we all live longer.
you need to preach to the others that drive 15-20 mph faster than me, and i know that road well and drive it safe, had i not i would have already crashed after driving code 3 since 1987, so i must be driving safe.
+Ricky WUVFD fist thing i don't care what state you in your no good if you don't make it there I run fd and ems in two countys and id never drive on that road like that in a pov or rig
thats true, so thats why we have duel sirens air horns and lots of lights. i can always tell when someone has a radar detector in their car because they know i am behind them mile away and they get alerted to lights, it really helps out.
+Ricky WUVFD Lucky your state allows sirens and air horns, we can only have LED's, although some of the volly's on my department have air horns. But only a few, mostly the officers. Great video by the way.

Ricky WUVFD I thought it had that beefy HEMI sound.

Yes we'll sure, lights get you there quicker, but you have to drive safe too, 😉 as you see I only went over speed limit when it was safe 😉
Great video! What kind of light setup are you using? Be sure to keep posting vids!
just 4 watt LEDs in dash and front bumper just upgraded to feniex appollo , new video coming soon .......
how long did it take you to get to where this was at since you were running what we call here in kentucky signal 9?
we went mutual aid to the other department so it took 30 mins lights and sirens real curvy roads and bumpy too
What do the people care. they do see that you are trying to save a life. It is not one of there own. So what. There kind of people just do not care. They are not heart. you are doing a great job. Never mine them they have nothing better to do. it is not there family.
Entirely curious... If you're a volunteer firefighter, why do you have radar on your dash?
+Alexander Gould
do you have to be an officer or chief to put sirens on your vehicle?
+Rick1885
what kind of exhaust do you have on the truck and is that a 2016 silverado?

Why are you running radar equipment as a firefighter ?
Did you read his comment??? It is there
questions answered please read it
i also Finished the rest of my led lights, got side led and put new led high beams in and using double flasher for it see new video.
People get over for me me when I come up behind them with my lights on
I like the radar set up. Where did you get it?
+Dillon Schneider >> you can get them on ebay or at a vender that specializes on used radars, pbelectronics.com/

+Ricky WUVFD Ok,thanks.
what is that wislely sound about???
Oh. Okay.
is your truck a 2016 silverado ricky?
i have a video of my vehicle check it out
Why cut the video before you reached the scene?
it was old camera and stopped, did not know
added pictures of the crash
Your Jeep sounds awesome, is it a stock exhaust and intake?
factory duel exhaust, took off the resonators, and has k and n cold air intake , makes the 5.7 come alive
is it in the next county? like in the boondocks? hope the victims are not seriously injured...
our county is huge its like 320 square miles population of 8500 and covered by 5 vol fire depts, we responded mutual aid all their members were at work, i just got off working night shift at my safety job at a drilling site, the guy was hurt and transported to hospital and was ok , very lucky to be alive
+Ricky WUVFD ah. well glad you were able to help the victim and that he or she will recover. keep up the good work!
what part of wv was this in?
west union doddridge county it was very nice there
long response time
yes sir mutual aid calls in WV usually are in the boonies
Ricky WUVFD At 0:30, what would you have preferred them to do? I wouldn't have been sure whether to stop or keep going since there's nowhere to turn to. I would have probably just kept going at a higher speed

steve b you are a idiot , you are banned and reported
Nice driving! Ex was an EMT and he taught me the right way to drive a road like this and the right way to take a curve. 👍
Moron
No he was driving fine you are allowed to cross double yellow code 3 and he waited and didn’t do it on the blind corner. So stop being an autistic.
Man that exhaust is sick. Is that stock. Fancy driving btw
+Max Perez
Sick as in a thing of beauty
oh ok, ya purs like a kitty meow

Is that an air horn I hear??
yes that is for the idiots that can't hear 2 siren tones and see flashing lights .... lol
:)
Nice video but why don't you stay on your side of the road?
+Noah Fallon please feel free to drive down this road anytime and see for yourself,
+Ricky WUVFD fist thing i don't care what state you in your no good if you don't make it there I run fd and ems in two countys and id never drive on that road like that in a pov or rig
well there are other firefighters that have lived here their whole life drive faster than i do on these roads, i prefer to take it easy and be safe
i have been driving code 3 since 1987 never had a close call or accident and my evoc training as well as being instructor has taught me well
+Ricky WUVFD That sounded sarcastic hahahahaha I would know because it sounds like something I would have said.
Isn't it a courtesy for people to pull over?
+Phillip Zeller ::: anyone with any kind of respect for public safety would pull over, if they dont they are just inconsiderate and selfish.
Right so my friend, as a first responder I know, but you can't beep at cars to get out of the way or force someone to pull over.
thats true, so thats why we have duel sirens air horns and lots of lights. i can always tell when someone has a radar detector in their car because they know i am behind them mile away and they get alerted to lights, it really helps out.
+Ricky WUVFD Lucky your state allows sirens and air horns, we can only have LED's, although some of the volly's on my department have air horns. But only a few, mostly the officers. Great video by the way.
yes, i believe all 50 states should have lights siren and evoc training
even at 40 mph he cant stay on his side of the road for shit...terrible driver
you are crazy he did a safe reponse, why do you people troll ?
