My father was a firefighter in Europe in 1960, and we had one of those world war sirens in the fire station you could hear the siren miles away to call the volunteer firefighters and it would go on and on and on till they had enough firefighter in the station only then it would go off! great memories has a kid growing up.
@@livingforJesus2120 Regardless of if they're supposed to, a large number don't. Some just seem to think that whatever they're doing is inherently more important than letting the FD through to an emergency.
I was. I know you’re supposed to but it’s shocking how many people don’t see a fire truck responding until it’s right up on them. So unaware of what’s around them while they’re driving it’s sick!
Wow, I have to get these guys a lot of props and respect. Look how far they have to travel just to go rescue someone or they help someone in need. Many blessings and thank you so much for the job you do
I've got to agree that it is so nice to see people moving over for apparatus. I was both a paid and a volunteer firefighter. I think as a whole, you still see respect for emergency services. I also once worked in a metro area. Even there, it was pretty good; although not as good as the more rural areas. In some large cities, they don't give a crap unless it affects them. That siren was good to clear intersections, but that high-pitched up and down would have given me a headache.
Man, I really take for granted how close my fire department is. My second department is only about 4-5 mins away at code 3, the first one is about 30 seconds.
Interesting how many people here are commenting to ask about the siren at the beginning. I grew up with them here and they're still used today, along with a different kind of alarm that "honks" (only way I can really describe it). A volunteer firewoman I knew said that, at least in my area, the siren alone is for a fire, and the fire siren together with the "honking" one is a rescue call. We don't usually get tornadoes here so I've always known they were for volunteer fire calls.
A big thumbs up to all the people driving vehicles that moved over and made the Firefighter job a hell of lot easier. If only that happen in Australia.
Antiquated though and thoroughly annoying to neighbours. Our RDS system ditched them decades ago, many decades ago in favour of turnout bells in homes and then pocket alerters.
@@Biffo1262 Town I live in people love the siren. It serves 2 purposes, 1stly it calls in the VFD and 2ndly it tells everyone to get out from in front of the station so they can leave.
In Australia where I live the police would have closed the road for a few hours while the major accident investigators investigated the accident because someone was injured.
A lot of times in American that will happen when there’s a death we’re there wasn’t a obvious reason aka some one drunk or admiring they fell asleep at the wheel
congratulations, 10 minutes to reach the accident site and 8 minutes to help the victims and clear the lane for traffic, this is a first world country. Here in Brazil, the rescue teams and the traffic police take 2 hours to reach the accident site and another 2 hours to help the victims and apply administrative measures. with luck in 4 hours and 30 minutes, the track is cleared for traffic again.
Same here in Mexico, infact, they take so long to get here, that many just don't call or take justice into their own hands. Saludos hermano, espero que te vaya bien en Brasil, que Dios nos bendiga y protega del Omicron.
Seems like an awfully far distance to drive. Interesting to see what appear to be a group of Amish farmers watching, and seeing horses and buggies go by in the big farm in the background. :)
Just because they passed a few other Departments doesn't mean anything, I have seen some cases where they will call a truck from the other side of the county or from a neighboring county depending on the situation
Yes they are pretty cool the town I live in has three of them. One at the fire station one on the west side of town and the other on the north side of town and they are super super loud you can hear them at least 7 to 8 Miles out of town on a calm night
Does anyone know what determines when the air raid siren like thing goes up in pitch? It seems to have a mind of it's own so I'm thinking it's manually controlled or is it just random?
It's manually controled, usually by a department member that doesn't run calls anymore, or even the dispatching agency (local PD or the like). When I was a kid, my grandfather was the department secretary, and dispatcher when the tones went off so he would run the siren or tell us kids when to push it and how long to hold it. That was great fun.
Hey guys & gals, how about doing a video from in front of your apparatus parked on the ramp with the warning lights activated? I for one would love to see what that rotating thing does!
Its a split highway. The houses you see across from the station? About 5 blocks down is the other side. It's called Willow Street Pike and runs around the outsides of the village of Willow Street, PA. The station is on the northbound side going towards Lancaster.
that siren I head at the very beginning, does that go off every time a call comes in or do you have one of those sirens that goes off Everyday at Noontime???????
Wow! Much different than our department, we are required to maintain an under 6 minute response time. We are in a very rural area though, not suburban. Good response, personally dislike the rotoray on the front of the truck. Keep up the videos!
BW_Ryan Well you can see how fast out the door we were. This wasn't our first due area, it was actually Lampeter and we just managed to beat them there
Haha, ‘‘twas a good response, I don’t know what guidelines your dept. has but we are to be out the door in 45 seconds, love how y’all were still cleaning the tower from the look of things.
Great video! I hope 54 didn't give you any guff for being first on the scene. :-) Also, what is your protocol for having a charged line ready when using extrication equipment? We were required to always have an inch and a half pulled and charged. I assume Truck 50 carries no water.
Bruce Stambaugh Thanks! No they didn't lol. Depending on the seriousness of the crash we either pull a line or get an extinguisher. There was minor damage to the car and no leaking fluids, so we didn't bother with the line on this one. And the Rescue doesn't carry any water, but the Tower does carry 500 gallons.
There was, Lampeter Station 54, which they passed. Engine 54-3 was dispatched with them, but Rescue 50 is the only one who carries jaws of life. Also that was only 10-15 miles. Station 54 is only about 5-6 miles from Station 50.
fanofClips It is a backup way of notifying them, and it is a way of letting the surrounding community know to look out for responding firefighters and firetrucks
I live countryside in Germany. Here in our village we have the same system. Firefifghters here are volunteers. We get notified by SMS, Pager and also via Siren (three 15 Seconds long hauls with each 15 sec. break. ). In the town and cities they have "normal Firefighters, who stay at the station all the time until their shifts ends and the next shifts start. They do not get notified by siren, pager or sms, because they are at the station ;).
Ok OnTourWithGerrit, thank you for your reply, i understand your reply. The big siren is no more used in my little city. The volunteers firefighters are called by Bip.
OnTourWithGerrit It's 12 seconds, not 15 seconds. The by-the-book description of the Feuerwehralarm is "1 minute continuous sound, with two intermissions".
First,..... thank you for your service to your community.......... .As a retired paramedic/training officer and EMS Battalion Chief.....it was very difficult to get our crews/drivers to take a deep breath and SLOW DOWN..........If while responding, you drove along so fast you could not successfully react to a stupid driver that didn't hear you coming..........you put yourself/your crew AND the patient at risk. Slow down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............We beat into our crews, arrive 30 to 90 sec. later safely rather than risk a collision. This video stressed me out. Stay safe and slow down!!!!!!!.....especially in these heavy fire trucks that need considerable distance to slow...let alone stop........Make sure you can always slow or stop as you drive or enter an intersection........assume everyone does not hear you.!!!!!..........Much better to arrive 60-90 seconds later than be involved in a serious/fatal accident...and never arrive and then require other assets to be dispatched stressing the entire system.
I can't believe all the above ground utilities. I don't see that in Alaska or Arizona. Also, there must be 30 or 40 miles between fire stations. I can't believe the long distances they drive.
Why am i addicted to watching these ride along vids... such a beautiful song
Your suppose to!!
Same here and I've been in the fire service 25 years. Still prefer riding in the back seat vs the boss seat in the engine. 😎
Because they are supper interesting
Instablaster.
You and me both
That awkward moment when you realize that maybe setting up the aerial for training right in front of the bay wasnt the best idea...😂😂😂
C'mon brad! Move the stupid truck! 🤣🤣
they were putting up Christmas lights
My father was a firefighter in Europe in 1960, and we had one of those world war sirens in the fire station you could hear the siren miles away to call the volunteer firefighters and it would go on and on and on till they had enough firefighter in the station only then it would go off! great memories has a kid growing up.
we still have that in Austria. :)
In Germany as well... one is located just a few hunded feet from my workplace and always goes off some half seconds before my pager :)
Jorge Manuel same in America
I used live in small town. Fire whistle sound like died cow when go off
I have radio only because of the distance I am between where I am and the station.
Who else was shocked to see so many people actually pulling over for the fire truck? :O
You're supposed to. When it's lights and sirens you get the hell out of the way. You can be fined if you don't move.
I never noticed!
@@livingforJesus2120 Regardless of if they're supposed to, a large number don't. Some just seem to think that whatever they're doing is inherently more important than letting the FD through to an emergency.

I grew up about 40 minutes from this area in Conowingo, MD. Nice to see an area that I recognize!
That crazy spinning thing. I've never seen such a thing in real life.
No sh!t I thought I was gona have seizure!
Right, what is that? Rotation Lamps?
Roto-Ray. It's a thing with some East coast FDs. It's noticeable from the front for sure.
When the trucks are coming at you they are BRIGHT as hell.. Almost blinding
@@RandyCarpadus they are here in Florida as well
thanks for taking us along to see how it is
Thank you all for emergency responders for your service you do for us

Good to see more people in this field of work
What a ride! At least twice I was reaching out for the dashboard and looking for the brakes! Stay Safe Rescue 50!!🚒🚨

BEAUTIFUL scenery, reminds me of rural Ohio.
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
I live there
Awesome sounding sirens my favorite fire UA-camr
Man I love the sound of that fire engine.
Great video I like that you still have the old siren for fires. My town turned them off due to people complaining
matt voza Yep, haha. Thanks!
I wish we had those their awesome
Sounds like a tornado siren prp scares people to death
If the big babies houses were on fire they would not complain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have them here still too in Upstate NY. We also have one that is like a honk, I'm not sure what that's for
You have a really powerful truck
that siren is amazing i love the sound of it

would be such a fun ride along with these guys all the time,
NO thank You!
Darion Bonnet the ride isn't fun when you're responding to a structure fire with entrapment. Or a call involving a child.
Godspeed to all my brothers and sisters out there
These dudes were hauling ass. I respect that
That powercall i love it

That's the trucks stress relief. You drive in traffic like that you would spin your fidget spinner too.
@@stevengibson2251 lmao
thats called a roto ray
@@garrettturner7232 Thanks! I wondered what it was called, definitely knew it wasn't a fidget spinner! haha.
It's actually called a mars light.

Interesting to see what appear to be a group of Amish farmers watching, and seeing horses and buggies go by in the big farm in the background. :)
That's what I'm say 10 minute drive is crazy long. Not to mention I think they passed 2 or 3 other departments on the way
Just because they passed a few other Departments doesn't mean anything, I have seen some cases where they will call a truck from the other side of the county or from a neighboring county depending on the situation
@@dakotamason93 more than likely those stations were preoccupied or didn't have a rescue in these circumstances
SEEMS LIKE AN AWFULLY FAR DISTANCE TO DRIVE
INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT APPEAR TO BE A FROM
There was another truck on scene... I'm gonna bet they were the closest department with Jaws of Life
Gotta love that STH-10!
Beautiful scenery , beautiful sky , beautiful ....... day
Average time for my district is 5-7 minutes to get to the scene! Took them over 9 minutes. Their Fire District needs to give them a closer Station.
Gotta love the power call siren
Awesome video! Love the scene footage from the rig! Do any of ya'll plan on getting helmet cams?
Oklahoma Emergency On my Christmas list. Thanks!
Oklahoma Emergency that would be cool
YES THAT WOULD BE AWSOME
Hello from Calvert county Maryland.
Hello & Goodbye!!!
we had a siren on top of our fire station and I loved when it went off
Wish we had it🙁
Yes they are pretty cool the town I live in has three of them. One at the fire station one on the west side of town and the other on the north side of town and they are super super loud you can hear them at least 7 to 8 Miles out of town on a calm night
That tall guy at 10:10 looks like he has a kid’s helmet, never seen one like that before...
Love that Powercall!
love the roto-ray
What The Hell is a Roto-Ray?
This is the only station that I’ve heard have the same exact siren as my FD
Alot of the ones here in PA sound like a cow mooing. When I moved here from TN I was like wtf is that
awesome vid!
patrick hawes Thank you
When your doing ladder training and call comes in OH S!
13:00 how long does this guy takes it to put on his hi-vis xD
good stuff ty for showing everything :)

Great upload
lorne852 Thank you
What is that spinning thing on the left at 6:06
Lol i love the sassy replies you give these people
Anyone notice they passed fire station at 5:38 ?
That’s one sick STH-10
Anyone else notice the lights on the yellow fire truck seem to be malfunctioning?
That moment you drag shit out for training, get a call and have to put it all back on the engine.
What is that loud siren or air raid horn for in the beginning of the video?
It's used in rural areas to call volunteer members of the department to the station
It alerts volunteers of a call and also let's drivers and pedestrian know the trucks are rolling out so that they are clear of their exits
Fantastic driving perfect us of cirens
Try "SIRENS" Dummy!
What's with the air raid siren at the beginning?
Does fire fighters and embulence get parked at the same place
Does anyone know what determines when the air raid siren like thing goes up in pitch? It seems to have a mind of it's own so I'm thinking it's manually controlled or is it just random?

Harry Strahlendorf Check some of my older videos, I have lots of responses from standing out front
Is the yellow truck the vollies unit?
I don't recall encountering a one-way highway like the one in front of the station.

What was that at the beginning an air raid siren??
I'm hearing a Detroit Diesel in the fire truck once they get stopped at 9:50?!?!
We have the same siren on top of a hill at Robert Fulton
I was wondering why the air raid siren was going off
Ich habe bei uns knapp 25 Jahre FFW Dienst getan. Kann mir jemand die verschiedenen Helmfarben erklären??
that siren I head at the very beginning, does that go off every time a call comes in or do you have one of those sirens that goes off Everyday at Noontime???????
Andrew Silva Every fire call
Were the couple in the van ok?
Is that a GE powercall
35 miles later..... we have arrived to assist in traffic? From a volunteer Department?

BW_Ryan Haha yeah we were hanging Christmas lights. And we're a volunteer department, so there's no way we're out in 45 seconds lol. Thank you!
BW_Ryan dan loves the rotoray.a small non scientific study of mine in three different states.conforms its superiority over other signals

Looks pretty fast...What´s the Top Speed ? ...Looks about 70 to 80 Miles ..
Something about that siren is making me cry... what the hell.
Also... at 9:50 How'd he fit in the cab? Or was he just hanging on and yelling at people to get out of the way?
Was this the nearest appliance to the incident?
That bearded fire man is huge. BTW - is it noraml to see bearded firemen ?
Not paid fire depts. Volunteer fire depts? More likely and also the more rural too it becomes more common.
8:20 He was gonna stop... Yeah, on MY SIDE he was gonna stop!

i love firetrucks
btw i see like yellow tubes inside some stations that are connected to the trucks what are they for?
TheFilmMixer101 They suck up the exhaust so it doesn't get all over the station
to get rid of the exhaust fumes
thanks
TheFilmMixer101 it’s called a plymovent system, like they said it sucks up exhaust right out of the pipe.
Wow, didn't know that! Great comment
The only thing that bothers me is the fire station they pass on the way there that is 3 minutes closer with an engine and an Arial in house
Awesome. I notice crash same place last 1 and half month ago? 🤔
Sean Cabknor Yes, this is a more common intersection for crashes. Thanks!
What the hell is up with that air raid siren ? Is this a volunteer service? No one has pagers or cell applications for call outs ?
They have pagers but the siren is still used to alert them. The siren is more of a tradition now a days.
That was a rediculous long way for that engine too go, can't believe there was nothing closer. Great job getting there though.
There was, Lampeter Station 54, which they passed. Engine 54-3 was dispatched with them, but Rescue 50 is the only one who carries jaws of life. Also that was only 10-15 miles. Station 54 is only about 5-6 miles from Station 50.
