They have a residential siren use policy that redirects them to not use the siren while in residential areas, and not only that but since it’s a neighborhood station it’s important that they respect the residents they serve, considering the very little traffic that these areas have until you get out of the area and into the actual city roads. I also believe this stations location is considered apart of the home owners association, and this is also becoming a trend all over the country.
Why make a buttload of noise going through a residential neighborhood. For Christ's sake dude, there are houses directly across the street from the station!
Doesn’t appear at least when these responses were filmed they need to use the siren. I’ve seen FD trucks right here in Charlotte not always using the siren if it isn’t warranted.
In the middle of the night when I was in the Captain's seat, I never blew the Federal Q or electronic sirens if there was no traffic. Maybe I would on a major intersection but not unless there was traffic. I got my EVOC training when I was a Driver/Engineer.
@@dfw_firebuff Thanks, I’ve taken a “spec” class,albeit many years ago in the 80s but I’d just not seen an apparatus recently in service, that was without a front grill. Who manufactured “truck 14” and what year is it, I’m curious, thanks again!
@trob0914 Truck 14 was manufactured by E-One sometime in the 80s I believe. It originally had an open air cab. It received a new closed air cab around the late 90s or early 2000s
@@dfw_firebuff Thanks, E-One was the primary manufacturer that my class used to spec out our first rig, KME & Pierce were up and comers and American LaFrance was dying out. I also learned to pump on a Hale equipped E-One,(it had open air rear facing jump seats)! I’m pretty sure it was manufactured in the 70’s though. Fun times for the fire service in the late 70s and early 80s!!
Too bad the old E-One has been retired, sent out to the training center. Fortunate enough to get to go around the neighborhood on the old girl the week before it was retired.
@@dfw_firebuff Thats a common issue with many cameras. If you look back at some of the older videos of Detroit Fire back about 10 years ago when they still had the old ALFs, the wraparound red lightbar on the roof was all strobes and in nearly every video they look like they are trying and failing to light up, but they aren't.
War wagon, really? I am retired after 20 years in the fire service. I think putting war wagon on the front of an engine company is absurd. If it was a DoD engine company I could see it. It seems the fire department there is trying to be a quasi-police/military company. In my career I considered myself as a public servant trying to comfort and save people in difficult situations rather than to pretend I was a warrior looking for glory. Leave glory for those in combat that are protecting our country and the fire service is what it is, fire service to render aid to preserve life and property and not going to war. Instead it appears that these firefighters want to look fierce and instead should be looking like they appear to help people. This is not the appearance that I want to present when I got on the scene.
Like they have the right to put what they want on the engine even if it is "war wagon" there could be some back story behind the the war wagon logos on E14
@@velocityoperator I guess they have the right to pretend to be warriors. I would not have something like that on my apparatus. Everyone has a right to say anything to show immaturity. I had stories too in my career and in my retirement, I don't have to prove anything anymore. I did my job as Station Captain and earned retirement. I was not a warrior nor a hero.

The Fort Worth FD livery looks so cool!! I love it
Love that truck! Great catches!
Great Responses!! Can’t wait to see the new Truck 14 soon along with the 8 pumpers
Do they ever turn on there sirens when there responding to emergency calls or-
They do once they get onto the main roads. They appear to not use them at the station because it's in the middle of a neighborhood

0:29 ol boy getting in the truck on the fly without even his shirt or pants on yet, way to hustle…
That's how the guys at 14s roll! I've seen them hop on the truck for fires before the tones even drop, only to see that the address is across the city
only in texas 🤠

Fort Worth fire department you need to step up your game put sirens on your fire trucks and air horns
ah yes completely ignore the q siren on the bumper and the sirens in the bumper
They do not sure what you’re talking about or referring to.
Unnecessary to blare sirens on a residential street with nobody on it. True professionals.

It's called RESPECTING the residents in their neighborhood, no need to blare horns and sirens in a residential area.

That “truck” had no discernible grill!
It's an older apparatus, from an era where most of the air intakes on fire apparatus were located on the roof or elsewhere

The strobes on T-14 sure are worthless. Like most strobes.
They are working, the framerate of my camera makes them to appear not to work.
