- At 5:35 PM, The Paterson Fire Department was responding to a possible fire at 141 Main St in Downtown Paterson. Engine 1 & Engine 5 were responding to the fire. Engine 1 was Responding On Broadway & Engine 5 was responding on Straight Street. At the intersection of Broadway & Street both engines collided while responding urgently to the confirmed fire. Engine 5 T-boned Engine 1. The second before impact Engine 1 swerved to the left before it got hit, causing the Engine 1 to go crash straight into the side of the Golden Mango Supermarket. I ran up to the scene to check if everyone was ok. I went up to an injured firefighter on the ground who had a leg injury and asked if he was ok. I had to back out because this is when I was seeing smoke from the confirmed fire. There were two major scenes going on at the same time. I ran down to the fire on Main St which ended up being a 3rd Alarm Fire. I got some quick footage and I ran back up to the accident. By the time I got there mutual aid was on scene. I had phone storage problems so I missed several code 3 responses. I went back home to get some water and take some deep breaths as I was very shook, broken, and overcome with sadness; seeing two beautiful fire trucks, wrecked, totaled, destroyed, and seeing brave firefighters injured. I went back to the scene at around 8:05 and still more units on scene & responding. I wanted to speak to crews on scene as a witness to show them my video of the crash. I was then interviewed by news members, detectives, police officers, firefighters and other people at the scene. I showed the video to Chief McDermott of the Paterson Fire Department. I then started taking some pictures of the wrecked fire trucks. A total of 8 Paterson firefighters were injured, 3 of those firefighters were critically injured, and one firefighter had life threatening injuries. Hoping a speedy recovery to all firefighters involved in this horrific accident.
As a retired fire fighter this was so preventable. There are policies and procedures in place to avoid crashes in intersections for responding fire vehicles.
This was very preventable indeed
Prayers to the firefighters. However , this is completely avoidable. Both pumpers failed to slow/stop and clear the intersection. As a former firefighter and engineer, I catch myself cleaning intersection to this day. Praying for speedy recovery.
Well said, thank you for your service! All fire fighters are doing well
Former Firefighter and driver here too. We had yearly refresh classes on emergency vehicle driver training. The law allows violating normal driver regulations when you are on an emergency run, BUT, if you do violate one, or more, its the drivers responsibility to do so with "due regard for the safety of others". Failure to do that puts the emergency vehicle operator at fault for the accident. We have had emergency vehicle drivers put in prison, mostly due to scenarios like this one, sadly though it usually involves a car and not a truck and often with fatalities. Both these drivers should loose their jobs for this accident. Speedy recovery to all injured.
I am a battalion chief and I think this comment is very true
@@robertjaent6087 There are lights at that intersection, so I asume that one engine had a green light and the other one the red light. You cannot blame a driver who has a green light that he goes through it.
@@marcopstal9584 you most certainly can. Defensive driving, especially while operating an emergency vehicle on a run puts you at a higher standard of care than other drivers. We were taught to check all intersections while responding to a call, even those where you have a green light or no stop sign. That is part of the duty an operator has in driving an emergency vehicle on a run. Even driving your own vehicle, you should be operating your vehicle in a defensive manner, which includes never assuming someone else will not run a red light or a stop sign. To assume because you have a green light or no stop sign, and you enter the intersection without looking at what cross traffic is doing just might be the last assumption one makes in their life. You dont have to physically stop, just slow a bit and look.
I hope they all recover, but seriously...this is INEXCUSABLE. Slow down and clear the intersections before proceeding...don't blow through them. Now you have injured firefighters that cannot respond to a fire down the street...all on top of a heavily damaged building and two heavily damaged rigs because of carelessness.
All firefighters are in stable condition. Very well said.
Agree 100%. Hope all are doing well.
Hope we like paying for the repairs
@@astolt12 I don't mind!! They save lives and property!! 🚒
Your not a Firefighter, stop judging them!!
That was nice of you to go see if anyone was hurt. Well done!
Thanks! As a fire buff I’d always try my best to check up on any injured members, off camera I went up to an injured firefighter to make sure he was okay, though there wasn’t much I could’ve done.
@@dylannjbuff Thank you for always checking on the member! I still say ‘clear right’ to this day with whoever I’m riding with….that switch doesn’t have an ‘off’ position. Did they get copies of your footage? It should be used in training.
@@devodootie I did give the video to the chief
I was a truck driver for 33 years and I have seen these men and women step up and save lives. God Bless All of our First Responders. I Thank God FOR THEM. YOU NEVER THINK ABOUT THEM TILL YOU NEED THEM. I GLAD TO SAY THANK YOU.
God bless all our first responders
@David Hickmon ,Thank you sir for being a truck driver for 33 years. You are how we get our goods. So thank you.
And of course... you were the one to capture it. Who else! The captures you always seem to get is impressive. Your work ended up on all the news outlets as well!
Thanks man! I tried to keep it off other news channels who asked me to use the video but yea I was buffing at the right place at the right time but at a horrible moment.
@@dylannjbuff yup. That's what always sucks about these captures is that there's a reason behind them and they're never good.
Wow awesome
@@dylannjbuff what is buffing? lol
THis collision is on all the dashcam video channels here on YT.
There has already been a few comments about the lack of slowing down at intersections, we all get that as the crash made it painfully obvious. The other units we see on the video unfortunately did not practice much in the way of due regard as well. The video shows a tower ladder blowing through a red light at about 30 mph regardless of the heave traffic in the area, and an ambulance trying to use a side street against traffic to merge into the flow of traffic of the main street. Thankfully the ambulance was able to see oncoming traffic and stopped until clear then proceeded safely, but it still put them in a precarious situation that could have been another accident. This all tells me there is a much larger instance department wide of casual lack of due regard. This could be simple "first due pride" that a lot of departments have, but in large populations like Patterson, this could have become a major disaster. That storefront Engine 1 slammed into was thankfully a boarded up store, but could just as easily been full of people entering and exiting the store, and even more watching the excitement of the fire trucks from the doorway and sidewalk. This is a really bad thing to have happen to ANY department. Not only firefighters getting injured, but now there are two pieces of apparatus out of service and unable to serve the communities. The risk to first responders as well as the general public is simply too great and needs to be curtailed asap.
Well said my friend, every word.
Spot on! 👍
Noticed that ladder truck flying through that intersection, don't know if they had the green, still gotta slow down you're gambling the drivers are gonna stop. God Bless!
Command staff really needs to review the driving of these firefighters! Not only the video of the accident but the other two engines that drove recklessly prior to the accident. This is scary.
Yea
Someone is getting fired. 100% not excusable. Literally, no one Fire Truck, Cop, or even the CHIEF towards the end in that video slowed down and cleared any of those intersections, they all just blew right through which is a no no. The ENTIRE city needs to be retrained. Emergency vehicles even running codes are still required to abide by laws and clear intersections. It's not a NASCAR race.
Yea they gotta slow down
Unfortunately this is what happens when emergency responders blow through red traffic lights without stopping first. This has happened to me three times in the past 10-years as I was going through intersections in a semi-truck and there was no warning prior to the intersection incursion. Emergency sirens electronic or Federal Q's cannot be heard inside semi-trucks. I've been asking the fire departments for years now to install high intensity white rotating beacons on top of fire truck and ambulance cabs in addition to all the strobe lights so they can be seen before reaching a blind intersection. Strobe lights can only be seen in direct line and do not bounce off of surrounding buildings and objects. High intensity white rotating beacons bounce off of objects like buildings, power poles, vehicles, and the roadway even if they are behind a building, they can still be seen. Still, emergency vehicles must come to a complete stop and clear a red light intersection before continuing on which obviously did not happen in this instance. This could've been a loaded bus full of people or a school bus loaded with children, or a gasoline tanker.
I drove semi trucks for 25 1/2 yrs & 🚨emergency sirens🚨 ARE hard hear from inside the truck cabs, correct👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼!!!
Very true. All vehicles nowadays are very well insulated from out side sounds. Add in people listening to radio, or a podcast, or audio book. Talking on the phone or just having a conversation with others in the vehicle and you cannot hear an emergency vehicle anymore until it is literally on top of you so to speak.
@@PikaChu-fy5pt The onus is on the driver to be aware of their surroundings when operating any vehicle. You’re supposed to be concentrating on driving, not entertaining yourself. Deaf people simply don’t have this issue when driving, it’s just hearing people.
@@YeahNo
Apparently you have never been in the cab of a heavy truck.
And, I presume you NEVER EVER have your radio on.
In a city such is shown, the sirens bounce off the surrounding buildings making it quite difficult to pinpoint the source.
I have been driving trucks for over 40 years and I have had a couple of very close calls though never hit
@@1929modelagirl Actually I HAVE been in the cab of a heavy truck plenty of times. Also garbage trucks, light trucks, old 4wds where you have to shout to be heard, army trucks, various sized buses some packed with school children, ambulances and ridden with Deaf drivers. Still, you manage to miss the ENTIRE point of my comment. SIRENS are irrelevant when you maintain situational awareness while driving. Deaf drivers cannot hear a siren from any direction, they maintain situational awareness. Hearing drivers who don’t notice a vehicle with flashing lights all over it are just piss poor drivers.
My prayers are with everyone involved in this terrible accident, may all of the first responders get well soon. Love from Marysville, California KMG 365
All firefighters are doing well
I totally agree and will join you in that thought and will be praying for them and their families….. even their pets, as they sense when something is wrong with their owner!❤️❤️🙏🙏
Am so extremely glad that no one got seriously injured…..Accidents happen, and usually, when you’re least expecting it. All of you, please stay safe, well, and… happy. 🤗
Good job filming. Your video will be very valuable for investigators too.
Also you kept a safe distance and, as far as i can see, you didn’t impede any of the responders.
Thanks
Firefighters will never learn to slow down at intersections. Good job guys. Bravo
They were responding urgently to a confirmed fire but yes they should have slowed down regardless
Carelessness is no way to get there in one piece.
Lights and siren are nothing more than a 'request' for the right of way, as stated in the owners manual for every single product sold by Federal Signal and Whelen
@@mrwonderful2142 Well said
Not to be a smart *ss but NY and NJ seem to be the ones. Most places I've ever been to or have seen they slow for intersections and don't go like a bat out of H either.
They often pull that crap here in Maine too. I once watched a fire truck get tboned hard because the truck driver decided to be a bonehead at the busiest intersection in the state. Was entirely the fire department's fault
Prayers to the firefighters involved! I’m sure that wasn’t easy to see either! Hope you’re okay too!
I’m doing well, it was pretty traumatizing, firefighters are doing well
My heart goes out to the firefighters and their families. Praying for the first responders nation wide 🙏🏽🇺🇲
All firefighters involved in the MVA are doing well
@@Dbodell8000 They are first responders they have the right of way to push your car out the way if they need too. And yes they'll respond to you too all the while your cussing up a storm to them 💯
Dylan... Your such a gigachad for declining NBC's offer to use your footage! You're the best! You deff would make an excellent stringer!
Thanks man! Sadly my dumb self, not knowing anything about giving videos to news channels, gave the video to the first news channel who questioned me at the scene, CBS 2 news. After I found out things that could happen I stopped sending it to other people of news
@@dylannjbuff yea.... That's a shame. You don't wanna give it to the news anyway. They never tell the whole story. I got more news from your reporting on the accident than what the news woulda did. They just want a 5 second snippet.
Very true, and well said, me as an eye witness with camera footage of it happening can give the most info on what happened
Former Fire Captain, and of course Engineer - all of those responding apparatus could afford to slow down and clear the intersections. It's a fire YES!!! but it's not thier emergency, its someone else's. What good are they if they can't get to scene??? I preached to my firefighters to focus, and stay calm!! hope no one was seriously injured!! they can replace or repair the fire apparatus
Thanks for your service, and very well said brother
Prayers go out to all the firefighters and all responders for responding
Great footage bud. Sucks to see the damaged fire trucks, and that impact was absolutely horrific. I noticed the police officer left his horn on for such a long time, showing that he was absolutely stunned and had to get out and help fast. My condolences to the Paterson fire department, the injured firefighters, and their families.
Thanks!! Yea bro it really sucks to see this happen. Two beautiful trucks destroyed, 8 brave firefighters injured. Very sad. That officer was very quick to get out and start helping that he forgot to turn off his horn. Glad you noticed that. Prayers to the firefighters.
My heart is shattered. I pray the firefighters are on the way to recovery from this event. So very scary to have this happen when their main priority is to keep others safe while voluntarily serving their community . God Bless all those impacted that day.
Watching those Fire Trucks collide like that scared the crap out of me!! I've NEVER seen anything like that happen before. I have seen a Fire Truck hit black ice and hit a telephone pole, that was a very long time ago in Farmingdale, NJ.
Yea this crash was so unexpected and it shook me a lot. In all my 8 years of being into Fire buffing I have never seen anything like this in person.
That was a bad crash between those two fire trucks. The driver going to the right ran the red light while the driver coming towards the camera had the green light. My mother's mother's brother was a voluntary firefighter for the city of Miami Florida and they went on what ended up being a false alarm called in by someone and the fire truck turned a corner too fast and rolled over landing on him injuring him and others. His spleen was ruptured and Dr. Jackson himself operated on him, but couldn't save his life. He was the first volunteer fireman to lose his life in the line of duty. Back then the firemen would stand outside at the back. At some point all the firemen sat inside the fire truck for safety. I remember my grandmother telling me he wanted to be a doctor.
You were at the right place at the right time to get this on video. Great video.
Thanks, yea it was horrible. Sorry to hear about the volunteer FF and may he Rest In Peace.
@@dylannjbuff Thank you. I don't remember what year he died, but it was probably before I was born.
Using very loud train horns to drive straight through intersections is not acceptable in 2022 as other Emergency First Responders may be crossing your path and all agencies should update their Driver Training procedures to reflect this. Feel free to visit the UK where our Advanced Response Driver Training unit can show you the process needed now and Please Stay Safe out there!
Prayers that all involved will be ok. As a former Deputy Chief “ you cannot help if you do not get there” . Important to note along with speed and misreading the intersection the one siren cannot be heard over the other siren, the faster you go the less you hear off that front bumper. Federal Q is notorious. Stay safe brothers and sisters. Thank you for stopping to render aid and document the incident so that everyone can learn from this.
Thanks Michael, we’ll said brother
We called it “outrunning the siren”.
Great coverage of a scary incident. Wishing everyone involved/injured the best.
Thanks man, I hope all 8 firefighters recover quickly
@@dylannjbuff that was so Hard crash for the fire truck and the ladder truck
@@matthewboxall they were both engines
Wow that's crazy, once again wishing all a speedy recovery
It really sucked to see this as a fire buffer :(
that could have been a whole lot worse. Lucky no pedestrians were hit too
Luckily no pedestrians were on that sidewalk
It’s usually not the best practice to record seriously injured members / walking right up to them. You did a solid job recording the accident and the response, but I would seriously reconsider showing the member on the ground with the running commentary. Cutting that part from the video would be respectful, protects their privacy & is the decent thing to do.
Thanks for commenting, I did walk up to the injured FF off camera to ask if he was alright. but now that the vid is already uploaded I can’t really edit it
There is nothing wrong with the video. Great job keeping the camera rolling. WOW Talk about being the right place at the right time to catch that. Hope the firefighter on the ground was okay, looked like he got the wind knocked out of him big time.
Screw that. Record away. They don't deserve anymore privacy than the victims they record or photograph at scenes. Karma caught on film
@@timberslayer2187 buddy, the guys riding in the back seat can't help what the driver does, and secondly, I've NEVER seen a fire department publicly post any victims.....get a life.
To this guy filming ( Dylan) you are Awesome & should seriously consider one of two things- "Be a first responder" or A "News Anchor". Great job filming & Reporting. I come from a 3 generation family of firefighters
Thanks so much Brenda! I might become a volunteer FF, I’m not fully sure tho. I’ll just stick to buffing for now
As a fire buffer in the city of Los Angeles, whenever there is a structure fire, take it easy, it's not a race to whoever gets on scene first, saving lives is what matters most
that's 100% correct
I don't know what Patterson Fire Department protocol is, but where I live its protocol to slow down at major intersections and thosewhodon't have signals. Speedy recovery all the people involved.
All units should all slow down at an intersection, everyone involved is in stable condition
@@dylannjbuff thank you for the update
Slow down & make sure you are clear to continue through intersection. Just a shame that Firefighters don't get drivers training like police do. Stay safe.
Yes, they do. These guys and their colleagues shown racing in the video just threw that training out the window. There’s been enough comments from fellow first responders condemning the failure of the drivers to demonstrate that training. They fk up and knew better.
That’s crazy I wish all a speedy recovery and people to recover
Same
Hi Dylan..
I read through the description and it said you were interrogated..
Lol.. You were interviewed, not interrogated..😂
Great footage by the way..
And my prayers for the injured firefighters..
Lol my bad, thanks, all firefighters are doing well
When you run red lights at speed, your risk goes through the roof. I spent my first 29 years living in NJ and saw MANY FD units cruise right through red lights. Such a dangerous job made even more so by lack of safe procedures.
GREAT coverage. Thank you.
Thanks Carolyn!
Taught in most police academies. If you get into an accident on the way to a call you aren't helping anyone and you will be diverting resources because you were reckless.
25 years volunteer, 2 years paid and NEVER ran a light once nor a stop sign after hearing horror stories of collisions.
Thanks for your service.
@@dylannjbuff thank you for your videos. If I still lived in Jersey I'd hit ya up. From Freehold Twp. And than Princeton Junction, now Colorado
No problem man, just doing what I love.
@@dylannjbuff I was chasing local PD/FD when I drove a cab. Lol. 1st on scene of several shootings, fires and accidents. Unfortunately, FB deleted my account and I lost everything. I'm not computer savvy so I had not saved anything off FB.
@@Bernie0481USMC responding to calls I never came to a stop at a red light or stop sign so far, but things work a little different over here
Great no major injuries. Your footage was probably the most revelent, that's why they spoke to you. Great job! God Bless!
thank you!!
Yooo that is nuts and besides one of them tried to turn to get out of the way
Very good video, and it's good to read that everyone involved is recovering well. However, everyone driving an emergency vehicle around there needs to be retrained. The first cop and fire truck barrel through the intersection, barely slowing down. Two fire trucks crash into each other. Seconds later the ladder truck runs the red light at full speed also. None of this is okay, neither for the firefighters sitting in the back, nor the innocent people driving on the road. What a mess.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE 100% with you CL!!
My dad thought they died, that must’ve been crazy to see in real life I hope all of them are going to be OK
My truck NEVER rolled until everyone belted up. I slowed or stopped at all intersections. It would be an interesting incident review board.
Wowcha! Hope everyone was ok, crazy you got it all on video! Nice one 👍🚨
Thanks! Yea it was pretty hectic, everyone is ok
@@dylannjbuff Yeah seems it, thats great news. Subbed and liked :)
Great footage unbelievable accident
Thanks, very unexpected and unbelievable
Good video catch!!
thanks!!
Woow man keep it coming...Getting better, talking about being right place at the right time.
Thanks man, couldn’t have said it better
This is what happens when emergency responders forget that red lights exempt them from traffic laws, but not from the laws of physics! They get arrogant and complacent and expect the whole world to bow before them.
This is why you slow down and blast the air horn alot through intersections.
Yep
Well done, Dylan. You should be a journalist.
Thanks!
Dude I can't believe you got that on recording 😳
Same bro, it was crazy
@@dylannjbuff That's bro-ett lol
Im pretty sure they are doing it in certain places but they all need control of traffic signals and location data. A relatively simple GPS program could have alerted the Engines to each other's proximity.
A rare occurence here but there certainly is potential for it to happen again as units converge on a scene. Certainly can't blame either of these crews. Hope they all make a speedy and full recovery
Great work Ken loved the video
thanks so much!
yooo that was perfect timing perfect video and a perfect crash WOW got all on camera 📷 dammm well done bro 👏 im watch that bit 4x that was perfect lol
Thanks bro!
Great catch. Hope the firemen are ok.
Thanks, they are ok
Assessing the damage: Cabs and front bumpers took the most damage. Chassis on both engines seem fine. The repair shouldn't be too difficult
Great job, keep filming brotha.
Thanks, I will
What a great peice of video, hopefully it can be used as a training tool for future use to show why they need to drive with due regard, and situational awareness. As a [former] fire buff, it is one of these once in a lifetime things you really do not want to get..
Thanks, this definitely can. As a fire buff, I was completely shook and broken after experiencing this.
@@dylannjbuff I am not surprised, anyone would be.
Change your title to
2 Fire trucks crash You make it sound like one fire truck crashed Great video I almost missed it definitely changed your title
h
Good coverage, praying for our brothers involved :/
Thanks man, prayers to all 8 of them.
Your brothers need to grab a brain and slow down!
What was up with the truck that started moving again and then slammed into the tree? That was weird.
Lost control
I can't believe that cars didn't move out of the way for the 1st fire engine. God bless these fire-fighters. I hope they're ok. Some drivers don't give a damn I can't believe it
All the firefighters are doing well at this time
I guess that's what you get when you don't stop at a red light.
Yep
Unfortunate, but underscores the importance of defensive driving and clearing intersections while running code.
0:41 engines 1 and 5 crash
This just unlocked a new fear for me as a firefighter, sheesh I feel for my brothers with this one
You did an outstanding job!
Thanks Lorena!
Well done. Get the video to the Chief, if you haven't already. Great training film. It will be shared eith other depts and save lives in the future.
Thanks, I did give the video to Chief McDermott of PFD.
I love how the cop at 2:30 is having an aneurysm because he can't stop all the bystanders from being curious
lol
Just like the episode on Chicago fire!! Prayers for all who were involved!
Prayers for all involved. This again shows noatt what light you have, treat it as red when responding emergency traffic and enter it slowly.
Blind faith at the intersection is a no-no. Make sure it is clear before proceeding. Listen for the sirens of other vehicles.
I pray that they all recover. New subscriber.
Thanks!! All firefighters have recovered.
@@dylannjbuff That's fantastic news. Thanks.
Amazing how many people refuse to pull over when emergency vehicles are coming. Even the FD doesn't slow down at intersections.
Good catch brother my prayers are with the other brother's and sisters hopefully all are well 🙏🙏
Thanks! They are all doing well
I hope everyone survives this crash and fire
Everyone is ok
Great job on the video bro
Thanks bro!
I'm gathering by the ambulance travelling code 3 to hospital, that the firefighter patient was quite serious? Wishing them a speedy and full recovery from this totally avoidable incident.
Yea 8 ffs were transported to the hospital
Speedy recovery to all the injured firefighters & all the best from Canada
All injured firefighters are doing well
Quick painting these idiots as hero's.
Although tragic, this was a great catch of footage 👍
Hope all are ok.
Thanks! Yea it was very horrible
@@dylannjbuff Your welcome.
Yes, devastating!
Hope your interrogation didn't last too long 😉
@@luvlynking7152 it was just questioning, I thought interrogating was the same thing as questioning
Prayers for he injured. That was a hard hit.
Definitely was, all firefighters are ok
Who ran the red light? Just because you have lights and a siren doesn't give the driver the right to break traffic laws.
not sure who did
The more I watch the more glad I am that you were not over there at that Light.
Yea man, if I was at that corner, I would’ve been under the dam truck and in the hospital
yes what a saddest rescue mission so badly, i wish no one hurt
I know it's a emergency situation, but those trucks just can't take corners at the same speed as the first responders. Speed matters, but so does maneuverability, and taking corners that fast will likely result in a crash, so to all firefighters: take advice from top racing drivers: slow in the corners, fast in the straights.
Right spot at the right time. Did they want a copy of your video??
Yep, I gave it to the chief of PFD
I hope all the fire fighters were ok even the one hurt, never mid the damage to the trucks they can be fixed ,god bless all first responders and stay safe
The fire trucks can always be replaced, but the firefighters can’t.
Quick making excuses for their idiot driving.
Dang. Off day for these guys. Out of all the calls they've done well, you caught the oops.
Nice catch I hope everyone is doing well.
thanks! everyone has recovered
What is the deal with the one vehicle going around the other vehicle that is yielding at 0:34 ? The whole scene seems like a movie.
Idk lol
This is what happens when a chauffeurs driving hard on gets in the way of his eyes and blocks the radio so the officers can't communicate with each other as to who is where when. I hate seeing brothers get heart, but this incident was 100% avoidable and not at all acceptable. Bro cool that you got all the close up shots of the firefighters out of the rig and what, but I'm seriously surprised none of them took a swing at you for it.
In the city where I live there was an incident some years ago where a firefighter was thrown through the windshield of his firetruck. He spent a long time in the hospital afterwards.
Wow..
It’s happened here in Detroit a few times. The most recent I can think of was two years ago, a Captain on a rescue squad was ejected from the cab but he survived. Then in 2007, engine 17 was hit by an SUV blowing through a red light at 70+ mph, a firefighter was ejected from the cab and killed. He left behind a pregnant wife and a young child. Truly sad.
Crazy incident. It breaks my heart to see a guy on the ground, again I'm hoping everyone will turn out alright.
Yea it was bro. It completely broke me seeing the injured firefighters and I walked up to one to ask if he was doing alright. When I went back home I had to take some deep breaths and drink water after almost feeling nauseous from witnessing that.
@@dylannjbuff Yeah, it must be a lot more mentally straining seeing it in person. Stay safe and healthy!
Thanks man! You to stay safe
2 engines lost and multiple serious injuries. This is always my fear whenever I hear "Code 3" go out.
Dam everyone just flying as no one even slowed down at the intersections. Wow.😊
Truly hate to see something like this happen. Ppl on there way to help others now need help themselves.
That is gonna be one expensive bill when its all over.
this is why MN has opticom on nearly all traffic signals
OMG!!!!! I pray all are ok!!!!!!!😮😢❤
I think a dash cam could have helped everyone figured out what happened but you happened to catch the footage right there. I think the chief should totally show that to their insurance company. Either way, I think dash cams could be a good investment for brand new units. The could also retrofit some of their older ones with some of the newer technology
Dylan…..what church is that. I live in Paterson, on Florida Ave. many years ago. What church is that?
