i was riding with county 58s that day and had to take an opportunity to ride with mccormick since they don't allow minor ride alongs, this was the way to do it haha. thanks for watching
Google tells me that its a 295HFS2. www.whelen.com/images/_automotive/Sirens_Amplifiers/295hfs/295hfs2.jpg Makes sense that they wouldnt need any 'light' buttons on the controller bc they already have em on the console.
itchyboy it's a 295 panel but some of the mccormick rigs have the newer amps (that are super loud) and they have and epsilon sound instead of the 295. it's the same thing with LAFD's sirens, they didn't get new whelen sirens, just new amps.
I'm not sure what year mccormick started using the eQ but their eQ siren is much much louder than their whelen siren. traffic in LA sucks and people claim sirens are too quiet so mccormick added more noise. when they have both sirens running at once, it gets pretty noisy.
private ambulances are staffed with EMT's (BLS), squads are staffed with paramedics (ALS). on calls that require advanced care enroute to the hospital, one of the medics from the squad hops on the ambulance while the other medic drives to the hospital. this allows for paramedics to become available from the hospital quicker. they don't have to "hold the wall" as long as the ambulances do.
You could "MAKE MONEY" Training EVERY La County Paramedic on the Correct Use of the E-Q2 Siren. Not once did you use the horrible yelp function (that sounds more like an auto burglar alarm) and traffic yielded the "Right-of-Way".
Not a fan either, but at least this EMT knows how to use it. I am surprised there are not more accidents with County Squads. Luckily, they have great warning lights.

woah what a rare video that was so cool, I loved the eQ2B brake on the arrival! can't wait to see all your other footage
Here's the controller panels for the siren. The distant siren was the LACFD Squad 58 following with EQ2B blaring with the other one.
I love the sound of this style of siren sounds like a end/Trk company
awesome again luck you mccormick respond out here with compton fire dept i see them everyday
Sweet video man! Love that eQ2B!
thanks for watching (:
Your first time doing a ride along with the McCormick paramedics! Sweet video! 😉🚑🚨

The one McCormick crew in the whole county who only used only one siren lol
Great video but the lack of the sirens not so good but nothings wrong with a little EQ
so weird to me that marina del rey is not a lafd covered location...
Now Columbus Division of Fire used Both the Whelen and EQ2B the Eq2b only used at Intersections while the Whelen is still going at Yelp
why did he turn the camera at 3:33
Nice siren tones on the ambulance
hell yeah!! glad you got to ride in mccormick!! i was thinking how tf?? lol but i forgot your ride out with 58s. lol
thanks korey! i'm glad i got to jump on too, i wish i rode in the front tho.
Fantastic

Same siren as on the squad
Awesome Ride Along
thanks (:
I love the eq2b siren
Very cool video! That brake was sick!

Great video. That brake is awesome.
I agree, thanks for watching
Brilliant video bro!

Perhaps thats the case.
Im thinking that would be the way they got the LAFD Epsilons to sound like Motoroals. Mix and matching of parts.
Awesome Video.
thanks
Are they responding or transporting ? Looks like they're transporting
they're transporting. I always just put "responding" in the title and go into detail in the description.
Why does the McCormick Ambulance use an eq2b siren? What year did the Ambulance start to have that siren?
I'm not sure what year mccormick started using the eQ but their eQ siren is much much louder than their whelen siren. traffic in LA sucks and people claim sirens are too quiet so mccormick added more noise. when they have both sirens running at once, it gets pretty noisy.
Sounds like a Fdny Style siren
It is!
Why does the squad follow you?
private ambulances are staffed with EMT's (BLS), squads are staffed with paramedics (ALS). on calls that require advanced care enroute to the hospital, one of the medics from the squad hops on the ambulance while the other medic drives to the hospital. this allows for paramedics to become available from the hospital quicker. they don't have to "hold the wall" as long as the ambulances do.

Not a Fan of the EQ2B I love Whelen 295 Sirens like Vancouver Fire and Rescue in Canada Duel Sirens
lucky you
Kenny's last name.
So i guess you could roll through red lights back then with out stopping and only use one siren when u have 2. Smh
Lol yall seen the McCormick fire department ambulances xD. Btw marina del rey hospital suucks
2:26 CHP
I hate those sirens...omg
Probably just because some people prefer the Mechanical Q as apposed to the Electronic Q.
Not a fan either, but at least this EMT knows how to use it. I am surprised there are not more accidents with County Squads. Luckily, they have great warning lights.
Thinks he in a fire engine
the siren is a key for boardism and the speed is how you drive trying to respond to a donald trump shooting wow....... not cool McCormick
I'd be pissed if he was my EMT
