I live around the corner from a fire station, last year they saved my life, as a combat vet next to my brothers in arms they are my heroes. Bless every single first responder .
I love these ride along videos, I don’t know how many channels of subbed to that do this it’s just so fascinating to watch fire trucks respond to calls, these kinda videos are like asmr for me
For everyone watching and appreciating this driver, the piece he is driving is a tiller which is like a tractor trailer that bends in the middle. There is a guy in the back who also steers (the opposite way) to make the turns, so you are watching a guy drive a tractor trailer through these awful streets (while eating a fudge pop which is what really makes the video)
I am someone who always advocates and encourages drivers/operators to "know their equipment" referring to their vehicles with two of the biggest reasons being knowing what/how your vehicle operates, and its dimensions (we all know those ppl who aren't confident when it comes to parking at a retail store). That being said, one of the things I'm always constantly impressed by and love seeing is Engineers such as this guy who is fully confident AND comfortable both with what his Truck/Ladder could handle as well as the dimensions of it and how tight of a spacing he could squeeze through.
I use to drive one of these, on a Peterbilt frame. I don't miss how the gas pedal was so close to the brakes, where when you make a brake application and you hit the gas pedal by mistake, youre caught saying "#@$*&(#@" each time lol
As a volunteer with Pa company's 30 & 31 for 14 years, I enjoy watching Harrisburg Ladder truck respond through the City and not take out any vehicles. Good job to the driver's. Stay safe.
Literally. No fucking way they drive in opposing traffic here in Europe, they just go and people make way as fast as possible without endangering other vehicles. Total reckless movement by the driver.@@rachitron
@@maxizac7 If he would have went behind the traffic that was on the right side of the road, he'd have been stuck there for several minuties while peolle figured out how to get out of his way. People in the US do NOT respect EMS vehicles and sirens and lights. They slow down and move half a foot to the side, at best. Europeans have a much larger respect for EMS than we do here in the US. I do agree it was risky, however, the traffic was stopped, there were only 3 cars in the incoming lane, and there is no way they'd miss the sirens and lights in front of them. It wasn't that dangerous, in this particular situation. I've seen firetrucks do this before and they always do it as a last effort when that's the only way they can get to their location in time to help put the fire out/save a life. This wouldn't be an issue if people in the US MOVED OVER for EMS. Not a little, not a teeny tiny but, no, if they MOVED OVER! I have rode in a firetruck several times and the amount of times people stop in the middle of the road blocking us ,or ignore us entirely is insane. I really think that people who fail to move for EMS should be given massive fines and potentially a license revoked depending on the situation. But yeah, I'm not saying it's not dangerous, it is. But they are responding to a fire. The only thing they did that's not "normal" was the lane switch. Everything else was textbook, and the lane switch was too, but like I said, that's a last resort and he had to take it due to the traffic jam on the road he was already on. Trust me, they would have taken forever to move out of his way, I've seen it before, many a' times.
I'm going to be 665 this summer and am still active as a driver for the local volunteer fire department. There is a certain thrill laying on the air horn or siren as we go rushing to a call!
Great example of fast yet controlled. He drove quickly and dodged traffic, but in a controlled and deliberate way. He didn’t weave in and out of traffic, he was careful at intersections and slowed when he couldn’t see both ways from a distance, and he only drove on the left when it was necessary. Something a firefighter friend told me was that firemen don’t just run around like they do on TV. They work a lot slower in real life, but they also don’t make mistakes. Do it with pace, but do it with purpose he likes to say.
I like the bus driver at ~ 4:00 . They recognized the person in front of them was a fucking moron, got around them, and made sure they themselves weren't in the way by not stopping on that narrow ass street.
Where I live, a mainstreet snakes underneath a rail underpass wich extends about 75 feet, the middle of the road seperated by concrete. I saw a fire truck go right through the opposing traffic lane at full speed. WTF and it's dark in there.
Awesome!!! These are The finest Men and Women that we depend on.. during an emergency!! Kudos to the driver..he was only trying to get folks to where they needed to be!! Again.. Thank each and every person who takes up this challenge!
The comments below talk about how great the Engineers driving is, That was some of the most dangerous driving i have seen. Not a single intersection was cleared just blown threw way too many wrong ways up one way streets aggressive driving this is the type of driving that gets people hurt and killed. This guy needs retraining
I feel like riding in the fire truck looks like I'm actually riding. But, its in the stream. Even though, I can hear the q2b sirens while responding to the call
That was me after 7 pm Shorts!!! My job AS A DRIVER…. Is to get the truck to the call!!! I can dress out once I get there and set up my attack lines . Save two-Three minutes response time
The driver/ engineer is a boss! Gym shorts, fudge pop and one handed driving. Much respect!
Typical engineer
From a professional I expect to have two hands on the wheel.
if this was indeed an emergency, he's putting lives in jeopardy while sucking on a choc pop.
One handed driving is NOT cool. It is definitely unsafe.
@@LouisvanWijk100% agreed!
iam a firefighter at the age of 60 and the feeling you get is something you can't explain. one hell of a rush even at my age ty
im starting my academy in june and ive been an cadet/volunteet i have a few questions, doing it straight out of highschool
Adrenaline?
Driver is a pimp. Eatin ice cream, whipping the fire truck. He is living the dream!
Vv
Cc xghxxh he xc Chaz 😢
Vaca backs BA d😂
Xca a DVD bags have
That driver is a idiot not only did he litter he drove that truck poorly
people underestimate the amount of people that want to watch firefighters/police officers driving to locations.
Fr
i love following them. the feeling of running a red when you're tailing a firetruck is something else.
I live around the corner from a fire station, last year they saved my life, as a combat vet next to my brothers in arms they are my heroes. Bless every single first responder .
This gives me a whole new perspective on how fast they can go and what it looks like inside. Like a rollar coaster ride.
Incredible driving and efficient siren and horn usage! Incredible video!
Dangerous irresponsible driving.
lifes are on the line show some respect to them @@richkuklinski8424
@richkuklinski8424 Hey if he's capable (he clearly is) then let him cook, he's a better driver than anyone else on that road
I love these ride along videos, I don’t know how many channels of subbed to that do this it’s just so fascinating to watch fire trucks respond to calls, these kinda videos are like asmr for me
Care to drop any of those channel names so I too can follow?

Yes that was
@@Ryanb1998 And so nice to see Engineer has both hands on the wheel.
@@ronaldlynnjohnson7589How can you have both hands on the wheel when you’re eating a fudge pop With one 😂
Skilled? I'd say bordering on reckless.
@@firedude5135unless you or a family member are the victim
The driver knew his truck! Love that, amazing job!

Great work lads, you are appreciated for the service you give to the people. Keep up the great work as always.
I absolutely love the sound of a screamin' fire engine!!
Wherever this is, these other cars can't drive but firetruck driver is a beast.
It says Harrisburg City, so my guess is there 🤷♂️
I'm amazed at the driving skills!
Most respect to the Firefighters! Hugs from Brazil
Where do you have your camera mounted
I am watching from Elmira NY how bad was that fire?
chauffeur was ROLLIN!!! had the rig on 2 wheels!!!
I use to drive one of these, on a Peterbilt frame. I don't miss how the gas pedal was so close to the brakes, where when you make a brake application and you hit the gas pedal by mistake, youre caught saying "#@$*&(#@" each time lol
Great video. Would’ve loved to see the tiller cam
I'd love a side-by-side
That would definitely rock. Id probably get dizzy watching it though@@corycollier

Nah. He won't have passed his exams driving 2nd ladder at that speed while sucking on a fudge pop and shouting, 'Get the f*** out of the way'.
Engineer getting it!!!!!
Awesome capture, hopefully there was an update about the fire on how it started and hopefully everybody was OK and made it out
2:58 I feel ya bro lol "Come on, get the F out of the way!"
Going opposing traffic, dude? Really? Don't expect civvies to know what to do in that instance. Stay ignorant.
@@rachitron tell that to the apparent first class driver in this clip

Dude is good
Using the road very well dodging traffic great horn action
Columbus ga just started outfitting Q 2 ‘s on trucks
Nice driving!!
Awesome driving. That engine has amazing acceleration
Would have like to have seen some on scene video!
Excellent video
huge respect to all the firefighters around the world ♡
How fast were you goin? I love this!
60 mph or 70 probobly
They have a governor on them aswell so they cant go as fast
the most undermanned paid fire department in the world but will allways do their best thank you
Hell of a job Wheelman!
Awesome driving guys keep up the great work
Does the rear axle turn? It seems to turn on a dime.
3 on that truck?
How fast were you going there?
Great video, liked and shared 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒
My favorite part 3:00 I know that feeling
Same content here! I'm also a firetruck driver/fireman from Philippines. Is that automatic transmission sir?
Wheelin. Love the commentary.
Love the Q & PC
Great Video! Class A Chauffeur!!! Reminded me of life in my younger days.....Jobs
Rumor has it they are still en route
Greetings, fellow firefighters from Croatia
Damn. He driving the shit out of that engine. I thought it was gonna flip. 😂
This is actually a tractor drawn ladder truck (tiller)
spine-chilling adrenaline
Ya boi was whipping that truck like a pro
How many miles could you hear that siren? Might just use it for my own Search and Rescue Company. :)
that sound has no direction. from far away it could be coming from anywhere
I like the bus driver at ~ 4:00 . They recognized the person in front of them was a fucking moron, got around them, and made sure they themselves weren't in the way by not stopping on that narrow ass street.
Just flyin'...incredible. Driver must have ice water running through his veins.
Me on my way to bed - clicking this clip... Jupp - guess bed time is another hour away.
Imagine if there is police then said PULL OVER then fine them for speeding.
Would you happen to know a firefighter by the name of Kevin Doud? He’s retired from Harrisburg
That was very good driving love the ride alongs
That guy is a good wheelman!
This guy is an idiot for driving with one hand. Totally unsafe.
Are the three light-like things spinning around in the front grill the lights? What is it used for? please tell me
It’s called a roto ray light

Driving in opposite lane to avoid traffic some very tight streets a little nerve racking for any chauffeur,a fine job gentleman.👍🚒

Good drive
wider angle than last vid. prett yinteresting. must be an intense job. thanks for doing it
ive seen vids from denmark or holland maybe, but this may be the first ime seeing a us channel
what is that thing mounted on the middle of the dash with te blue ligth mounted? Thanks
A Knox box. It’s what securely holds a key to businesses and commercial buildings. It’s unlocked by dispatch via tones.
Knox emergency key box retention device
thanks for the response@@TheVideoArsenal
thanks@@BC41B
Legend has it that the driver still wears his t shirt and shorts to go fight fires and drive his bad ass truck. Much respect right there brother ❤

Ok.
Agreed. I don't know if these guys are volley, but there's no way city or county would ever drive like this.
Omg this sounds feels like war is coming and this truck is really powerful wow so fast
Are you shifting me with this video ? Ever saw a house on fire.
Love the seatbelt use!!
What
tf?? he clearly put his seatbelt on at the start
Damn. Them ol' boys had a hellofa long ride to get to the fire.
whats that spinning thing in the center?
It is a Roto-Ray, used in case drivers dont hear the loud a$$ siren comin up from behind them.
I feel like riding in the fire truck looks like I'm actually riding. But, its in the stream. Even though, I can hear the q2b sirens while responding to the call
Ngl. My booty hole tensed up a little when he went into oncoming traffic lol. Nice work though
2:55 I have seen several fire truck drivers as aggressive or rude as this with the other drivers in the United States.
Driver: screw it I'm bringing the fudge pop
Only a truckie would be eating an ice cream bar while wheeling... 🤣😂🤣😂
This is so cool ❤
all i got from this is that it's stressful af to drive a fire truck :D
tHIS IS CRAZY, EATING ICECREAM WHILE RESPONDING TO AN EMERGENCY, WAOHHHHH
Who is controlling the siren and horn?? Doesn’t look like either of the guys up front are.
Was there 12 years
Super cool !
Rumor has it, they are still driving to the fire.
How is he controlling the Q and the horn? And is the officer's radio disconnected hanging there?
They have pedals on the officer side that controls the air horn and the federal Q. Sometimes, the engineer also has the pedals.
Lol....love these vids...
Damn, does anyone react to a firetruck in this town? Just stops in the middle of the road.
Those drivers save our lives and I love em. Awesome stuff 👍😎
That was me after 7 pm
Shorts!!!
My job AS A DRIVER…. Is to get the truck to the call!!!
I can dress out once I get there and set up my attack lines .
Save two-Three minutes response time
I thought I was a good driver until I saw this driver. He makes me feel like an amateur. 😂
the driver is driving the fire truck fast lol
We are moving the grid over copy that standby for an update over.
-How much noise do you make
-yes
bros enjoying that icecream
Still get a rush out of riding to a call
