I think the response time is okay. In rural areas in Germany, it is not uncommon for the response time to sometimes be up to 10 minutes. Technical operations, for example on a motorway, usually mean a long journey. However, the first forces on the scene are always able to bridge the time until reinforcements arrive. Many greetings from Germany and take good care of yourselves
I am watching from Elmira NY with that radio communication sounds like a really bad house fire. Good response time from the Harrisburg PA fire department
The unit is responding across county lines and the radio comms are a console patch between Harrisburg/Dauphin County's Motorola P25 system and Cumberland County's trash OpenSky system, which is the reason for the awful sound quality. If you meant the content of the radio traffic, I have no explanation for that.
It actually was a very small incident that got held to East Pennsboro only. They cleared the box in just under an hour. Truck 2 is on East Pennsboro's 1st alarm box which is why they were called initially.
When my grandparents house in Perry County burned down in I think it was either 2009 or 2010. I forget. They had apparatus responding from West Fairview. Which is right across the river from Old Uptown.
What is this spinning thing in front of the FireTruck? Never saw something similuar in Europe. Thanks :) And very cool videos, love it to watch Firefighters around the World.
Yes we are trained to use the siren when needed. Any time you are on a normal roadway, but on a closed access highway with very little traffic its not required.
I believe that is their version of an opticom. If so it flashes lights really fast at an upward angle and a sensor on many red lights will detect it and swap to green as the truck approaches.
@@MrJRod891 And one of the most effective lights on an apparatus when mounted at the correct height. They are hard to miss when you see it in your rear view mirror.
Looks like a lock box, more than likely it’s holding keys to Knox boxes (key boxes on building) to allow FD excess to the building without having to wait on a key holder person. Just my guess.
@@kylepowell7811 the blue light on top is generally where a master compartment/door ajar light is mounted in our trucks at my department. My bet is your right and it is a storage location for access keys and then the compartment open light on top. COULD also be the narc box for the truck but seems like a strange place for it but is about the size of some I have seen.
Knox key control box, keypad on the right to enter a code which releases the Knox key seen on the left. The blue strobe flashes once the key is removed from the box and until the key is returned. Generally, one key will open all the Knox boxes for an individual town/city.
Honestly. If a little cat ran out in front of your truck, would you slow down for a moment, tap the brakes or even try to go around him or her? Or would you kill the little girl's cat in the name of responding to the alarm? I have to know. Please be honest.
They've been doing it at least for 3 years, we've had the city bendy straw as our 3rd or 4th due truck as long as I've been running in a different west shore dept
Another great video. It would've been a really good one to see from the tiller cage.
Awesome, love these videos,Hershey Pa.
The Susquehanna looking a little high and muddy! I bet the Smallmouth were still biting!🐟
Wild seeing Harrisburg responding on the west shore. ♥

Is it common for trucks that far away to be dispatched? That’s a hell of a long response
Yes. Especially to a fire
When my grandparents house in Perry County burned down in I think it was either 2009 or 2010. I forget. They had apparatus responding from West Fairview. Which is right across the river from Old Uptown.
2 words. Mutual aid
still only 5 min
It’s common depending on the severity of the fire or if the fire dept is all tired to one call and another call comes in the reach for mutual aid
love it. thanks for serving as a first responder, subbed
I’m going to be a first responder as a Firefighter
Nice run...

Noticed they cut the siren after hitting the highway.

👍
Long ride
And yet they were still first truck on the scene. 🤔
Whats the thing spinning on the front?

@@homeFall1no
It's a Roto Ray light. Just a spinning emergency light.

Does the FDNY have that capability on their trucks also?

Just you
No bro you're not! Haha! I'm in search Mode also!!
@1:12 on the right… remnants of the previous snot slinger job
Can somebody tell me what that box in the middle of the dash is

Can I ask something kyle
You just did 😝
Powercall would been nice
Chiefs helmet needs to get fixed....its a bit bent.

So it's just pov of a fire truck responding to a call?
That's what I was thinking too
Why even post it? Were the firefighters jealous that they don't have cameras in their trucks like police cruisers do?
@@obmitno6745salty much? Don’t like it why bother watching it?
@@MoparGuy1625 I was waiting for something interesting to happen!
@@obmitno6745 they don’t usually show on scene stuff.

Yes on the way to your house that is on fire they would probably stop and wait for the little kitty to cross the street so you won't be triggered
When did City Fire start leaving the city to assist surrounding communities?
They've been doing it at least for 3 years, we've had the city bendy straw as our 3rd or 4th due truck as long as I've been running in a different west shore dept
@antmanzero Cool... thank you for the reply.
@@antmanzeroBilly?
Seemed like an awful long way to go
Not really, it's only about a 7 minute response from Harrisburg to East Pennsboro depending on traffic conditions.
