*NEW* [Vancouver] Wildland 7 - Brush Truck With Lights & Siren!

[@lmdemergencyphotography2004]

Awesome catches! The light pattern when it's parked is rather soothing to the eyes. I really love the new units!

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Thanks! Yep, I really like that calm on-scene mode. 👍🏼

[@ThamesCentreVids]

Could you guys imagine if the whole department had that pattern and the sync technology.

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

@@ThamesCentreVids I would say that might be the goal one day, but we’re not there yet 😅

[@lmdemergencyphotography2004]

@chrisswanton5043 that'd be nice to see!

[@ShawnDighton-ro4cn]

The three new Wildlands are the first with the V2V in the city. The plan is to implement this on new apparatus if possible.

[@XuBenhong]

Very good. Looking forward to your new video

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Thanks!

[@Critical911]

Awesome catches!! Those sirens and lights are controlled by the Whelen core system which allows custom and DVI patterns on emergency vehicles. They are designed to be traffic moving when responding and calm but warning when on scene. Awesome video!

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Thank you very much! Yes I’ve heard of that system. A good idea, and hopefully we’ll see more and more emergency vehicles with these features.

[@alle_emergency]

Awesome

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Thanks!

[@anthonylambing3831]

I’m starting to really like whelens parked light packages ehs still is a lot of random flashing and not as soothing to the eye

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Yep, the on-scene lights are very nice.

[@Issac_emergency_photography]

Awesome catches Tim!!! Bet you must be the luckiest buff to get WL7 twice within 5 minutes :) Plus your video clearly indicates god knows how many flash patterns the WLs have lol

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Thanks Isaac! Yup, that was definitely a very lucky moment 😆

[@danp1871]

I saw VFRS's new Electric E1 cruise through QE park today! Wondering when you are going to be able to catch a vid of that beauty. I was on the phone with my dad when I spotted it out of my window and I stopped listening to what my dad was saying until I lost sight of it. haha. Love the vids keep it up.

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Ah nice! I think they are currently taking it around town for photoshoots and stuff. Then there’ll be more training, so MAYBE we’ll see it entering active service in December or January. I’ll keep an eye on it and as soon as it’s in service I’ll get some videos… 😁👍🏼

[@ambulance_boy3834]

Love the calmer pattern when parked. Really great idea. Reminds me of the old halogen light patterns.

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Yea I agree. I think it works really well. 👍🏼

[@FirePhoenixEmergencyVideos]

Good stuff Tim, thanks for doing the hard work to let us geeks get a closer look at these new units lol

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Thanks Jimbo! Appreciate the support. And sorry not sorry for over-filming this unit! 😁

[@CVEmergencyVids]

Wonderful catches! Love the park mode on that new unit.

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Thank you! 🙂

Where is the old one

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Retired.

[@frwrd_09]

Sick!! Is it cross staffed or fully staffed?

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

It is cross staffed with the ladder. So if they’re already out on a call, bad luck. But it takes all the medicals, so that makes it relatively easy to catch.

[@samsemergencyvideos7791]

I Hate Wildland 7 Siren. Worst Siren Of All Time
Siren That Ambulance Has Is Pretty Good

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Why so much hate man… 😆 Trust me there are worse sirens out there lol

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses "there are worse sirens out there" Italian sirens enter the chat :D

[@rastewart100]

Speaking of the ambulance, did my ears deceive me, or was that a PA300?

[@federicoguevaraavalos515]

Awesome

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Thanks!

Pole in station?

[@Aviationchannel17]

Awesome video!! I love emergency vehicles and the things those brave firefighters,police officers and paramedics do to protect us and keep us safe.

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Thanks a lot! 😄 Yep, same here 👍🏼

What are you talking about… 🙃

[@lemonemergency]

nice catches! i love your videos:> its the siren new?

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

Thank you! That means a lot. 🙂
No, as far as I can tell it’s a pretty standard siren (but I don’t know the exact model).

[@lemonemergency]

@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses ok thanks

[@TriLongTran911responded]

❤ big rescue time

[@michaelb9529]

They had to get new one because the older ones had all of 400 KM on them

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

You mean 400,000? 😂 The old ones are over 20 years old and have been used frequently (mostly for medical calls). The old ones are also still in service as spare rescue units.

[@Stargazzer811]

"While they are designed to fight vegetation fires, these trucks primarily respond to medical emergency calls on a regular basis."
Anyone else see the issue here? I think VFRS needs to invest in ambulances and/or light rescues, not brush trucks.

[@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses]

I don’t think it’s that simple. VFRS cannot get ambulances (or at least cannot transport anyone to the hospital) because BCEHS is the only provincial ambulance service in BC.
These can be seen as multi-purpose units, and they have enough compartment space for medical equipment. Brush trucks have to be strategically positioned around the city anyway and it will be better to drive them on a regular basis than leaving them unused.
