Hmm...FDNY apparatus needs push bumpers. Maybe people will think twice about blocking streets.
MAYBE! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
that are stick some q sirens on there lol it osunds like air raid siren lol
Police got that down
I'm sure there's a mountain of paperwork for everything you push.
Sheriff Industries the only paperwork they should have to do is just leaving a pre written note on the windshield “Your car was damaged by the fire department because you park like a douche - The end”
Loved it when squad threw shade “hope it’s not your family we’re going to”
YUP......
Caleb DeCamville not shade, fucking truth brah...
You kiddin, all the better if it was.
IP Freely that’s a little extreme
While I liked the shade, the deliveryman was not in the truck. What was he supposed to do, read their minds that he needed to move his vehicle? Also, why not just back up and go around? For all they know he could be inside for ages. It's a city, why not just go a different block down
“ let’s hope it’s not a family member of yours “ lmao
YUP.....
Ironically it was the fire truck who decided to stubbornly wait in front of an empty truck instead of just taking a detour. Roads get blocked all the time. You improvise, don't just sit there and pray the delivery driver realizes you're waiting
@@Jomskylark but what the point of having Siren if you are just going to take a detour?
@@agentshivaji3919 um the siren is so people can hear u the detour is you taking another route to quickly get where u need to go .. Yes idiots should move though.. But still find another route if u can..
yes but you realize nyc streets are so packed it’s pretty much dangerous to back up to get to another road to detour on, and if you get wedged in by an illegally parked truck and a car behind you there’s no such thing as a detour.
I always thought that the FIRST rule of the road was to "Yield the right of way for ANY emergency vehicles". PERIOD. If I was a cop there I'd fine him AND have his vehicle towed away.
IT IS BUT THESE PEOPLE DO NOT CARE.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
I think that there should be a designated rammer truck, to ram any idiots for being idiots.
Seriously, maybe have at least one black-&-white to cite any idiots.
That is correct, what are they called emergency vehicles for?
So firefighters can't plow through the block vehicle?
@@umarmujaahid1136 (as tempted as they may be) .... uh ... no (not to my knowledge).
There was a news report of a family losing their house to a fire in this area not too long ago. That family wondered why the FD didn't respond faster. This is why.
YES, VERY POSSIBLE INDEED. THANKS.
They should sue the bunghole who kept FDNY from responding faster.
They need to make like a fire response lane cutoff from the actual road so FD can have faster responses. Also a sign that says, "DO NOT BLOCK THIS LANE, FIRE RESCUE RESPONDING." you would be fined 250$ if you blocked it.
@@ThatOneFDriver Where I am, you get fined $11,000 or more and up to 2 years in prison for interference with emergency services. Lol
It's no easy to navigate your car thru town let alone a large firetruck
"The lady didn't know how to drive" ?????? Pull her license. Each one of these drivers should be fined AND pay the city for the fire call.
I AGREE AND THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 I work at YYZ airport and if you block or dont stop for a fire engine or a fire truck not only do you get your Airside vehicle Operators Permit pulled but you get 6 points on your personal license and a 2k fine
I think she was a passenger
And pay the poor people who had their house burnt to a crisp.
@TransCube we need a law that lets cops slap parking tickets on cars that have drivers still in.
The joys of living in a large city, my respect for the for the firefighters
THANKS SO MUCH.....
They are awesome I have so
Much respect
It's not a big city thing. Rarely does this happen else where. It the classic "me" mind set of Americans
Sadly, entitled drivers are not a big city exclusive ... highway. how many people will clog the emergency lane on the highway.
Speaking as a paramedic working in NYC for many years:
blocking streets and refusing to yield is utterly rampant. Way worse than what it seems in any video like this. It is rare that the police and the traffic agents do anything about it. I see them taking action maybe once a year. Traffic agents don’t seem to concern themselves much with double parking, for reasons known only to them.
If I were to regularly bump or force these people out of the way I WOULD LOOSE MY DRIVING PRIVILEGES THAT DAY. If I scrape a double parked car, or bend their sideview mirror, I have to take myself off the assignment and do police paperwork. Yes, this is a threat to the people who called for help.
If I got on the PA and yelled at people, I stand to get into all sorts of trouble. It’s just not worth it. FDNY can get away with it, we can’t.
You can thank the lawyers and politicians for this state of affairs. Once upon a time, we would peel double parked cars side view mirrors off their cars, rather than be delayed responding to a sick patient. Those days are over. The liability for doing that is just spectacular. We and the police are way too closely watched to do anything like that anymore.
Again, thank the politicians and lawyers, who are never concerned with an overall concern for what is good and right. Only in appearing a certain way for their audience.
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND! IT IS A BAD SITUATION ALL AROUND! THX.....
Well said.
You’ll enjoy the video on UA-cam of Montreal FD moving a few cars aside including a police car.

I TOTALLY AGREE! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Exactly and we are the ones who take flak when people are understandable upset but are directing it at us for not being fast enough
But what about ME ???
@@xenotrixx Not true. the Germany law is a joke. if you block a Emergency vehicle you'll have to pay a fine (bitween 20 and 250 Euros).
I got with my command vehicle nearly every second call blocked by a civil car. and under 10 % of the drivers get ever punished. I report every driver to the police. and the courts do nearly nothing.
Sad fact: Most of these ignorant people who behave that way belong to the so called "Upper Class" (lawyers, bankers and such)
This is where we are as humans bro. If it took you this long to realize it I’m truly sorry
Being a delivery driver in NYC must be a job from hell. Looks like many customers don't have loading zones next to their stores, so delivery truck drivers need to double park and deliver their loads as fast as possible. They probably say a little prayer right before a delivery..Please Lord don't let an ambulance or fire truck show up while I'm inside trying to get my invoice signed.
I HEAR YA AND UNDERSTAND! THANKS SO MUCH.....
There should be at least one box truck length space on every block with a store reserved for trucks at ALL TIMES.
And the fine for parking there should be the same as parking in a bus lane
The driver could have at lest looked like he was hurrying…
I can. Only hope they have video and can call it in to the police who can follow up with a nice fine.
My Dad was a Firefighter for 35 years and he said that towards to end of his career he had noticed that drivers have less and less respect for the sirens on the trucks and refused to move to the right and stop.
In his earlier career he was stuck behind a car that refused to move so my Dad's captain told him to push the vehicle through the intersection so he did and away they went.
He said he never was disciplined in any way and he's fairly certain the driver realized that they were in the wrong and thus by reporting would be opening themselves up to traffic charges for not moving out of the way of an emergency vehicle with lights and sirens going etc
I have asked firefighters and police what I am to do if stopped at a red light and an emergency vehicle is behind me honking and sirens going. Both told me to stay put, because if I pull out and there is an accident it’s my fault. So, unless I can safely turn right on red, I stay put.
THAT IS A GREAT STORY......THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING IT.....
Absolutely shocking. In the UK when you hear a siren you automatically get out of the way when your driving. Some people are clueless. Someday it might be them that need help
I HEAR YA! THANKS.
Yep, I live in Australia and any time I hear sirens my first thought is where the f%&k are they?
@bradsmckay seriously! Whenever I hear a siren in my city (in Southern California), my head starts going every direction trying to locate that vehicle.
I'm glad I don't drive a fire truck in new York because I would push everything out of my way
HAHA! COOL! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
doesnt that just technically eliminate the use of fire trucks?
because they are meant to help people not trouble them XD, but it would be nice seeing a nice tasty bit of karma
I would just SPAM MY HORN 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚒🚒
I would sue the hell out of the city.
@Brian K It do not matter, city would lose the lawsuit.
Oh take your time it's not like we're trying to put out a fire or anything
I KNOW RIGHT! THX.
We'll just let it consume half a block while you go get a pedicure
Or save someone’s life. A lot of times firefighters are also cross trained as EMT’s.
Katie Marie yeah that’s y they always send an engine and ambulance
It's maddening for sure, but why doesn't the truck back up and go a different way? It's New York, streets are gonna be blocked sometimes. Gotta improvise
These firefighters should have permission to ram every single one of these cars, and the driver should have to pay out of pocket to repair every last penny of damage. No insurance allowed
I THKN SO TOO.....THX.....
Here in NZ our fire service is authorized to push the vehicles out of the way in those situations. Same if cars are parked on both sides of the road impeding movement. They have, on the odd occasion, just driven the fire engine down narrow roads where illegal impedment often occurs and scraped past cars to ensure they are not impeding the way...
COOL! HOWEVER HERE THAT TYPE ACTION WOULD A VERY BIG PROBLEM FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND CITY! THX.
Yep same Sydney Australia 58 cars written off as the fire trucks cleared the road in Balmain to get to a double house fire. Now it's legal to park on that roads footpath. As the roads only the width of a car with both sides parked. Its legal life over money insurance paid.
@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 that's the key though. they are authorized to do it. we would need laws authorizing the fire depts to be able to do it, and i don't see that ever happening because of insurance companies lobbying against those laws.
I'll tell you right now, If I ever have a family member call 911 for ANY reason and I find out someone prevented help from getting there by blocking them like that, I'm going to be very..very mad.
YUP......
2:11 Lovely use of the PA!
OK.

The city is stupid for not having the area in front of fire department doors painted red and market no parking anytime
and the yellow line buddy
what does it mean...?
What happened to common sense, parking in front of a firehouse??? Idiots!
IT IS PAINTED AND THERE ARE SIGNS EVERYWHERE. PEOPLE JUST DON'T CARE......
I AGREE!
People are just stupid and careless... fire fighters just need to run them out of the way
At least two of these vehicles belonged to a business who should terminate the drivers.
I AGREE. THX.
Not only that but they should be bared from ever taking any job where there required to drive and should lose one year privileges to drive per second that they delay emergency vehicles.
@@robert-73 what. lmao
@@robert-73 agreed
Theres companies that work in the city that have drivers and/or workers that have company vehicles with suspended licenses. THEY DONT CARE, there the cockroaches you find in the basements of these buildings, you see one, but they litter the streets. These trucks need a plow in the front and the law stating that fdny have legal right to do whatever they need to in order to get to the emergency. These same A holes block the block and next thing you know, it takes an hour to cross an intersection. These people need to have the hurt put to their cars to learn they shouldnt do this.. Tickets are like post it notes, they just throw them away.
The delivery truck driver in the second video acted like he was the one being inconvenienced. Smh what a jerk. Anyways great video 👍
I AGREE! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
I know right like he shouldn't have been blocking the road in the first place what a greedy truck driver I love how the firefighter said I hope it's not your family member that's in trouble the problem is that people are so greedy that if it's not their problem they just don't care
The fire truck clearly saw that there was a truck in the street and still drove in. It doesn't seem to be that urgent. In big cities there is simply no place for delivery vehicles. What are they supposed to do?
canadian alarms and such then where he should park!
@@77fxx exactly. As long as they waited they could have gone another way 🙄
Best wishes to FDNY and Paramedic teams in NY, we owe you our lifes. God bless you for your kind service.
I AGREE WE DO! THANKS SO MUCH.....
One of my students with special needs had a prolonged seizure at school. The seizure plan was followed and the ambulance was called. Unfortunately, the call was made just prior to dismissal time and the car lane was full with waiting caregivers. First responders had difficulty getting other parents to move their cars to allow the ambulance in. In addition, the student’s parent worked close by (arrived at about the same time as EMS) so she witnessed fellow parents’ resistance to moving. 🥺🥺
OH WOW! THAT IS TERRIBLE.....PEOPLE CAN BE VERY SELFISH AT TIMES......THANKS SO MUCH.....
That's insane! Was the student ok?
@@mikeserot1410 Yes. She was okay. I don’t remember if she was admitted or able to go home after being treated in the ER.
We had a large snow storm out in Colorado last winter. One country road in particular was full of stuck abandoned vehicles from the snow.
The county literally brought out a loader and pushed all the cars off the road to let emergency services though.
It was epic to see the carnage 😂😂
FYI, it was a storm that was well warned about and people were told to stay home. One of the few storms that I actually opted to stay in. I have no issues driving in the snow. But not this one.
OH WOW! THAT IS WILD! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
And in 2020 we now know how effective it is to tell everyone to stay home. LOL

rodprops gee thanks. I can continue to live now that this has been settled.
@@jmlcolorado cool 👍
Human respect has left the building.
YUP.....
@Eric Chase: It left long before we realised it....
🇨🇺
And left their vehicle, not letting the fire truck being able to leave
Jea but this is stupid as hell, dude fir fire fighters every SECOND counts and thanks to them some one can die. Ye i think it is normal in this case
I was on a class trip sometime in the 70’s and saw a FDNY CF Mack in lower Manhattan with a truck tire chained to front bumper.. he was bumping the taxis that would not get out of the way. Never have forgotten that scene.
OH WOW! THAT MUST HAVE BEEN WILD TO SEE! THX.
Lol
That's awesome haah
Yeah if i was the driver i'd defo do that and gently push the car till its out the way lol
Great video John! With so much double parking going on I’m surprised it doesn’t happen all the time. Stay safe!
YEAH, I AGREE! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Let me guess, "I will be in and out, it'll just take a minute," was their reason? I hear it all the time. These are the people that should be denied emergency services when they call for them.
I AGREE AND THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
They should get extremely high fines for this behaviour!
I AGREE AND THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Absolutely no way I’m going to try and justify what the delivery truck driver did but just know that it can be an absolute nightmare trying to find a place to park in big cities and if you’re on a tight schedule it can be too tempting to block a fire lane or in this case a whole street. Businesses often do not accommodate the vehicles delivering their supplies in their parking layouts. Again, fire department more important but you’d be surprised how unpleasant parking a large vehicle can be.
I HEAR YA! THANKS.....

THEY REALLY SHOULD.....THANKS AGAIN.....
It should be law that emergency vehicles can move cars out of the way
Right lol they should be able to ram tf outta your car if it's blocking the way
PERHAPS.....
It is in Boston
While that may work for say small cars. SUVs and trucks could cause damage to the fire truck. And fire trucks need to be kept in tip top condition because the last th3you want is something to go wrong with the truck. That is why every shift change the designated driver of a certain truck must perform a number of checks.
OurNewHorizon yea just not my shit
4:12 and thats why you dont block a fire station driveway

Driver is an idiot but city needs to paint something on the ground there, it should be a lot clearer to not park there
Awesome videos man. I'm a volunteer coming up on my twenty third year in a small area in the coal region of Pennsylvania.
SUPER COOL TOM AND THANKS SO MUCH.....
vollies r ruining the FD
@@SK-tr1wo So is your assumption and negativity. Did you research this and find this to be factual? Show me your homework on this. And if you can show me it, well I have nothing more to say. So is my former volunteer friend, that is a New York City fireman for at least 10 years now, ruining the fire service in New York? The answer is no. He is smart, and an asset to the fire service. One of the best former volunteer, now paid, fireman I know.
They should do what is done in several countries: No parking for any reason near a fire station. Bright red lines, immediate removal of the vehicle, and a big fee to get it back.
OK.
Unfortunately this is a Country wide issue. I have been on several calls where people will not get out of the way of ambulances or fire apparatus.
I HEAR YA!
Push bumpers for all
In most European country’s it’s illegal to prevent an emergency service from reaching its destination which includes blocking they should try it in America, probs get loads of protests
@@SierraDelta- it's illegal here too bro, lol
well the reality is there are selfish people everywhere.
Great video, as always. Makes me sick to see people not yielding. What if it were their family?

@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 I was a volunteer in a small town where I went camping and got to know the chief who wouldn't take the apparatus out of service even if he and his wife were the only ones in service so if a call came in he would have the group on the store deck if we wanted to go his wife was the paramedic first responder
Awesome catch my friend! 😉 It took WAY too long for the units to make their way through the traffic!! I feel bad for the apparatus engineers! Those cars need to yield!!
I TOTALLY AGREE AND THANKS! ;o)
should be a $2000 or more fine.
and if someone dies, manslaughter
I AGREE! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Solitude Guard unfortunately, the 8th amendment exists
I wouldn't say manslaughter, but rather negligent homicide.
10K flat rate… most people can’t afford it and businesses are cheap. So people would be more cautious about doing it
That's incredible...just unbelievable...the indifference to emergency vehicles in big cities is unreal...my dad told me when I was learning to drive, pretend they're going to your house, get outta the way!

"Not gonna give him a ticket now" See, that's the problem. In EU you get finned for the smallest things and fines are high so people think twice before doing something stupid or illegal.
OK
That second man actually worried about his push cart over him moving the truck 10 feet
YUP.....
I don't care what the noise ordinance is, I would stay on the horn til they come out. As for that person with the van, I would not have let that person off at all. Still ticket them. Look how long they had to wait there. They pretty much got cancelled in the end.
I TOTALLY AGREE! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Thanks heather at Seattle Washington headquarters for programming the New York City mission of moving the fire engine that was a winner thanks Chief.
OK.
All trucks need dash cams to record everything and to get vehicles info the drivers of them vehicles need cited and automatic loss of license then maybe ppl will start to think twice Keep up the great work brothers and sisters of the fdny god bless
I AGREE JON. THANKS.....
5:25 that EQ2B sounds nice with the echo throughout the buildings 😍
OK.
I think I saw somewhere that a company (maybe Westin or Setina, the guys who make pushbars for LEO vehicles), are developing a special bumper for fire and EMS apparatus, the front of it is supposed to be soft enough so that the driver of the apparatus can move/push an obstacle out of the way without damaging the truck or other vehicle/obstacle. I wonder if it will ever go through 🤔
COOL! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
One can hope!! That would be SWEET!
My question is why worry about damaging the selfishly parked vehicle.......just push it and damage it, it may make them
Learn to be more considerate in future.
@@aquanick2001 Some of the fire trucks cost in upwards of 1 million. Highly doubt they would start playing bumper cars with them.

I've seen videos of fire trucks pushing illegealy parked vehicles out of the way when responding code. I watched a fire truck in Atlanta push a car out of the way that was parked in front of a hydrant that it needed to tap. Can't believe they don't do that in NY.
OK. THX.
The firetruck at 4:15 looks really good, siren and horn sound really cool! Awesome firetruck
THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Wow, absolutely unreal! Is it just me, or does it seem like there's a ton of idiotic drivers in NYC? I'm in the midwest (Minnesota), and while the downtown areas of Minneapolis and St. Paul aren't nearly as big as New York, our drivers understand how to pull over to the side even in busy traffic and let whatever emergency vehicles through. Heck, sometimes when I'm going by a stoplight that has its white light signaling when an emergency vehicle is coming through and there doesn't seem to be one coming, I will still stop and check to see and hear if one could be coming regardless because the operators of whichever vehicle they happen to be driving takes priority over everything with the lives they have to save!

@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 keep up the good work.
If someone gets hurts or dies the person operating the cars/trucks that was in the way in route should be charged with attempted or criminal homicide!!!!
YES INDEED! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
That's way too much. Be aware of what you're saying here. That rule must then be thrown across the board and you can get charged with stuff you weren't even aware of.
So many people die of inane bullshit and you would have so many innocent people in jail over this
A homicide charge would not stick. However, article 195.15 of the New York penal law covers obstructing firefighting operations.
Perhaps if people were hit with that charge, the point would get across.
Life in prison for being in the way of a fire truck. That's a fantastic suggestion. We should implement that everywhere and justice will be served.
This stuff pisses me off if you're thinking of dubble parking do us a favor get off the street don't drive
I AGREE! THX.
I feel your pain brothers I'm on a volunteer department in a small community and still have issues on our roads and highways with people not moving over or yielding to my trucks
THESE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY! THANKS SO MUCH.....
These are caused by two main issues: The city traffic planning did not allow enough room on the streets and there is no cost for failing to get out of the way.
Having delivery trucks in bike lanes or double parking is not the solution. Those that block traffic like that need a heavy fine, both to the driver and to the company. Cars that block emergency vehicles need a fine, but more importantly, they need time in public service and as ride-alongs so they can see the results of delays, like people dying, buildings lost, and so on. And not a trivial 5 hours of service, but make it inconvenient like 100 hours, 10 hours a week, so that it stings and isn't something done and forgotten in a day or two.
Fines only hurt poor people; the rich and well-off ignore them. But time served treats all equally.
I AGREE.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Great video again but I’ve never been so annoyed watching a video. People don’t get it!
I AGREE JONATHAN! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Those cars should be impounded and crushed and the drivers have their licenses suspended indefinitely.
HAHA! I AGREE! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Never mind the cars, crush the drivers.
I'd bet that if these people got a $25,000 fine and permanent loss of driving license, nobody would ever do this kind of crap.
I AGREE! THANKS SO MUCH.....
Makes you wish for some street justice. Especially for ones like the delivery drivers that just kinda sauntered around. Makes you wonder if their heart rate has ever been over 75 bpm.
I HEAR YA! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Just because these people are in New York, it does not give them the right to park their vehicle on the middle of the road. These people need to learn to have more respect for first responders. They are doing their job saving lives, and these idiots cars are sitting there in the middle of road. These types of people make me lose faith in humanity. Absolute sickos. Anyways, awesome video.
ONCE AGAIN! NICELY SAID AND THANK YOU! ;o)
Came from a family of first responders
Yea because when they parked they knew they'd be blocking a fire truck it's new York there's park especially if your driving a big ads delivery truck, it's real easy to judge from the outside
Shamor Williams So what are you saying exactly?
People in NewYork with respect ? 😂 That will never happen. I drive a 70 Ft Tractor Trailer through these streets. Let’s just say I don’t go to NYC anymore. “I Hooked up a chain to an idiots car and pulled it down the street out of my way after waiting for a half hour for someone to come out that was double parked” 💪🏼

Very Interesting. In at least two of these clips, there was somebody sitting in the vehicle, but it still didn't move? BTW, where I live in Texas, we have different laws, not to mention much better bumpers on fire trucks.
YES, THERE WERE PEOPLE IN THERE AND COOL ABOUT YOUR UNITS THERE AL. THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Different laws? Blocking an emergency vehicle is illegal everywhere.
Firebuff101 but if needed, I believe they can use the apparatus to persuade the vehicle to move physically
@@tionytione4327 Absolutely, although departments shy away from this practice :/ Liability and what-not.. It's annoying. Maybe if people considered that they might be pushed out of the way and be held responsible by insurance, they would pay better attention to their surroundings.
Al Rosenberg Right! The first one I even had to rewind to be in shock again and see somebody was sitting in the damn car.
In Michigan where I'm from, drivers pull over the min there hear the sirens coming. In New York they don't care. The trucks have a ram why don't there use it and the other drivers should have to pay for their own damages cause they park illegally
IDK BUT THX.
When necessary, and when possible, they should be allowed to use the fire truck to push the car out of the way - and then send the driver the bill for any damage to the truck.
I AGREE SAMUEL. THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
We don't have this kind of problem in Southeast Texas. We respect our first responders for what they do.
COOL.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
I never knew firefighters in New York had ticket books, makes sense
You know firefighters are almost like cops when they hand out tickets but instead of traffic violations they write out tickets for safety violations. I remember this one time where there was an emergency response at a restaurant and one of their exit signs did not light up red and they got ticketed over $2,000 because exit signs have to be lit up red so it can be visible.
Depending on the jurisdiction and the firefighter's certification or job title, they can issue citations. Typically, it is someone in the Fire Marshal's office. The guys on this crew may be writing down the plate #, VIN #, etc to send to the Fire Marshal or NYPD ... and that entity *might* issue a summons.
YES THEY HAVE THEM BUT RARELY USE THEM! THANKS!
This is why I cant be a driver for FDNY I would lose my job the 1st day I would push that truck out of the way
OK. THX.
That is NYC for you. In big cities, the fire department have it hard when streets are so congested that emergency vehicles can't get by? What also blocks emergency vehicles is railroad crossings and movable bridges such as drawbridges, swing bridges, and lift bridges, which it is really bad luck that the emergency vehicles are in the wrong place at the wrong time and get held up.
YES, I TOTALLY AGREE. THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Deliberately Blocking, interfering with or refusing to move for fire and ambulance should be a felony with no possibility of ever getting a license a minimum sentence of 2 years in prison, $10,000 fine & forfeiture of the vehicle.
I TOTALLY AGREE.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
They need to give emergency responders the authority to move the vehicles themselves in cases like this
PERHAPS. THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
About the first clip...how the hell does she not know how to drive an automatic?
IDK! IT WAS CRAZY! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Pedro Jesus maybe she didn’t have a license to drive
@@DrzPapi126 you might be right but to move a little foward to let the fire truck go woulnd't get her arrested ahaha
Pedro Jesus and maybe run somebody over ?? Lol I wouldn’t trust it!
Pedro Jesus: Good question...
This is an educational video that is highly recommended by everyone who is driving. This is to help reduce the death rates caused by delayed response due to inattentive drivers who are not following the rules as discussed i the driver's handbook. Anyone should remember as they are getting their driver's license, it is NOT just as a privilege, but a responsibility that we all have and we must be committed to to remain safe drivers instead of risking the lives of others who are doing their part to help save lives.
I AGREE ANNE.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
As an ex fireman,..I would have sat on the Q siren.. That thing is louder than any siren out there.. 2-3 seconds of pushing the floor button down will last awhile.. Hats off to FDNY.. I was only a lil city fireman.. We had nothing to deal with like FDNY.
COOL AND THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Question John due the squads respond as pumps in there area or does somone else(engine)cover there first in just a curiosity as 18's is the only squad iv seen when in NYC
SOMETIMES THEY DO RESPOND AS ENGINES WHEN NEEDED! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
When a truck come out of the station to respond to a fire and they cant swing out due to some one parked in the way. Why doesnt the city make the area in front of the station a red zone so the engine can swing either right or left?
THEY ALL HAVE RED OR YELLOW ZONE BUT PEOPLE DON'T PAY ATTENTION OF CARE AT TIMES! IT IS TERRIBLE.....
I drive a truck and that’s one of my biggest fears blocking a fire truck
I HEAR YA! THANKS SO MUCH.....
Those violators should be criminally charged with felonies if anyone gets so much as a scratch because help couldn't get there due to some jerks selfishness. Also make it legal for FDs to push you out of the way. Our department pushed cars parked in fire lanes and the courts were behind us back in the day. Now courts sympathize with criminals over those who respond to help society.
This is why they need laws for motorists to get out of the way instead of it being an option. All license holders should be made to drive 3 things before getting their license- a tractor trailer, a motorcycle and an emergency vehicle.
I TOTALLY AGREE! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
i really wish people understood the importance of time,,, only a couple seconds could decide the fate of someone’s life,, great video tho!!
THAT IS CORRECT! THANKS SO MUCH.....
2:10 “Let’s hope it’s not a family of yours, let’s just hope.” that firefighter saying that is a savage.
There should be a 10,000 dollar fine for impeding an emergency vehicle!
I AGREE! THANKS SO MUCH.....
