Thank u for doing this its funny because I was urging this like 2 vids ago on ur channal and this is what I get I am satisfied ..I waited so long for another one of these
Extremely rare. I can also tell you cities which have average response times below 5, 4, and 3 minutes. For example Las Vegas, a busy city but their response times are low both for Fire & EMS. In the middle & the south of Florida they've such low response times too and very interesting systems.
The rule in Chicago is if an Ambo is more than 16 blocks from the call a fire company is dispatched as an "ambulance assist", been doing like this for probably 25+ years.
Over here in Holland, in my town.. the only medical runs for the engine company's are cardiac arrest. The engine's crew provides the manpower for CPR so EMS crews can focus on the medical part.
I've also been in Virginia once, Prince William County, I've been listening to the Fire Radio there, about any 10-15 minutes a engine has been delpoyed to a medical call because no ambulance was available. When I look at the numbers of calls a volunteer fire station has there it#s about 90% only medical calls to do first aid until a ambulance arrives.
Which is exactly why our fire fighters are trained emt's and paramedics. That is so that they can provide medical aid. In reality most of the calls a firefighter will receive in his career are medical calls. Rarely are there any fires or serious car accidents or a cat in the tree. Plus fire stations are strategically placed around a city to provide a better response time. The fire departments in the U.S are fast, efficient, and most importantly, the system works.
Not sure what JRFF6 is talking about, but it happens a lot, both in Rural and Urban settings. Take the Washington DC Fire Department for example. They just had one of their Ladder trucks transport a Chiled Ped to the Hospital because the nearest ambulance was 45 minutes out. DCFD also had 3 Ambulances catch fire not to long ago. We have Ambulance issues here, and we're Volunteer. PGCFD sends Engines to Medicals frequently if no BLS/ALS unit is available.
That only ever happens in Detroit, not the entire country. Extremely rarely will there ever be an ambulance more than 10-15 minutes away from the scene of a call. If there is they call QRS which is usually a pickup truck with 2-4 ff/emts on that can administer medical care until an am
Things are different from city to city, country to country. Some cities have great systems, low responses time, best treatment others don't have it. The best way how to find out are ride alongs or to get other first hand experience. Even in Germany they have ambulance problems. Some cities may have good response times, others haven't. It happens that my local EMS transports 3 patients in one ambulance or (which is pretty often) that there's no doctor car available.
Not necessarily because they are busy. Dispatching an engine (or a truck) is a standard procedure for a lot of cities. Some departments have something called a utility. A utility is a smaller vehicle purpose built to assist EMS in patient care until they get there so they can be transported. This is at least how my county operates
Same here, but only if they REALLY NEED help. And then actually never a truck, just a van with 4 or 5 firefighters to keeps the trucks in the station to stay prepared for another call. Here it also actually never happens that there isn't a free ambulance. I've seen a documentation about that in the USA, money problems they said, just saying that quote: "No ambulance available, please wait...". 30 minutes can pass until a ambulance arrives on scene in the USA. IN A CITY. That's crazy, but normal.
You have no idea what your talking about! If they didnt send T29 to the EMS Run(T29 is a ALS Rig), the pt would have been waiting for the Ambulance to arrive. The reason they sent the Truck is because the nearest Ambulance might have been far out and it is easier to send a Engine or Truck to the scene to assist the pt.
So, then this was one of the extremely rare cases? When I listen to the USA fire radio, doesn't matter which state/county, I always hear engines or trucks getting deployed because the ambulances are already busy.
Right ! I thought the same. It´s like slow motion. But the Truck seems to be from the 60´s or maybe 70´s with a design from the 40´s. I guess this "old mother" is much louder than fast... ;-)
VassilliHD LOL. After 30 years of driving emergency vehicles I seriously doubt that could ever be proven. Changes in pitch between tones gets much more attention that bumping the little red button.
I've seen videos like from the fdny, their standard is 5 on engine and 6 on truck. But I've also seen videos of trucks crewed with 3. (sorry for bad english)
Hope that this doesnt sound too crazy but when I used to work at one of my local Car dealerships this happened at one time at it casued quite a bit of trouble and so if I may was just wondering if I may ask what would you do if for some reason you got a call and for some unknown reaon, the door wouldn't open so you could get the truck(s) that you needed to use out, in most cases its a BIG spring which is placed at the top of pretty much all the doors that are installed and the one I was talking about at the dealership. that one broke, and they couldn't get the door to either open or close.......
It seems funny to me that even though they laugh at the thought of going to a "back pain" call they go lights and sirens. Lights and sirens should be reserved for only the most urgent of calls.
Heh, back pain. I find that so weird in the USA, to take a whole truck for something like that because there is no ambulance. If you can afford all these cool trucks which are "the coolest" in the world you should also be able to afford an ambulance. @AustrianFriend: Well, driving faster wouldn't make much sense there, the speed was good enough in my opinion and it's anyway just "Back Pain". xD
just watching the video and the road surface looks bad - ie need repair - I am just thinking of all the law suites due to broken fire trucks and damage fire-fighters backs due to the bumps etc - this must slow down response times etc
@ Uni Come on pal, get real. "Rarely are there any fires..." I work in Toronto Canada and there are fires every day. But they seldom make the news, because they aren't big enough. And why aren't they big enough to make the news? Because there are many Firefighters on-duty, and they get there quick enough to extinguish the fire before it gets out of hand. Also, we don't get cats out of trees. They do it themselves.

TRE you one now?

thats my brothers house, he is on the engine, one of the best stations in chicago.
I hope your brother is still alive and is still saving lives to your brother and to all firemen good job

It was a group of 4 that day because they were on a variance(not counting rescue911). When a Company is not on one then there is 5 guys on the rig

Interesting fact, thanks for telling
Yeah, I saw that, or heard that, too, thanks for telling!
This is a spare rig guys read the description

when are they getting their regular rig back?
Cool do more and longer ones and can you film till they stop at call scent
That ever doesn't happen in the whole country. Actually it's very rare that, that even happens. Response times range from 5-7 minutes.
Some Departments also prefer putting a specialty piece on a medical call incase a box alarm goes out they have a unit to put water on the hot stuff.
Did these guys ever make it past 15mph?
Right ! I thought the same. It´s like slow motion. But the Truck seems to be from the 60´s or maybe 70´s with a design from the 40´s. I guess this "old mother" is much louder than fast... ;-)
Slaterator
60's or 70's??? The truck is from the 90's! Hahahahaha LOL!
People don't move over and they like to try and outrun the sirens and run through the lights. They go slow for their own protection.
No need to go much faster for a back pain run lol
Nice
How many man are crewed on the trucks and engines in chicago?
Well said mate
Can u do more ride alongs with Chicago fire dept truck 29
I don't get why they don't just turn the siren ON rather than constantly bumping the manual button.
The up and down of the tones get peoples attention better than just a straight wail.
VassilliHD LOL. After 30 years of driving emergency vehicles I seriously doubt that could ever be proven. Changes in pitch between tones gets much more attention that bumping the little red button.
Old-school departments are hooked on the manual button for the old-school mechanical sirens. Old habits just won't die.
Why is every one of your Chicago ride a long vids always in a spare?!
I've seen videos like from the fdny, their standard is 5 on engine and 6 on truck. But I've also seen videos of trucks crewed with 3. (sorry for bad english)
The reason why they just don't leave the siren on is because they are in a residential area once their far away let a rip
Idiot
You tell me then dip shit
when i rode truck 29, they used their regular rig.
Hope that this doesnt sound too crazy but when I used to work at one of my local Car dealerships this happened at one time at it casued quite a bit of trouble and so if I may was just wondering if I may ask what would you do if for some reason you got a call and for some unknown reaon, the door wouldn't open so you could get the truck(s) that you needed to use out, in most cases its a BIG spring which is placed at the top of pretty much all the doors that are installed and the one I was talking about at the dealership. that one broke, and they couldn't get the door to either open or close.......
+Andrew Silva trust me, the door is getting opened one way or another.
+Andrew Silva trust me, the door is getting opened one way or another.
when was this video taken?
Can You Do More Ride Alongs With Truck 29 But With Truck 29's Normal Rig?
i believe truck 29 was taken out of service permanently due to a accident. thats why it is always a different truck
Jack Angermeier have they gotten a new truck yet?
Incorrect, Chicago staffs each engine/truck with 5.
1:51 shave and a haircut on their air horn
Is that first truck olso used in Chicago fire
Hahaha, I think so! The fill in truck for when 61 crashed, right?
Yeah but it was truck 66 not 61 :D
It seems funny to me that even though they laugh at the thought of going to a "back pain" call they go lights and sirens. Lights and sirens should be reserved for only the most urgent of calls.
It is department protocol to respond Code 3 to all medical emergencies, no matter how perceived minor.
Shut up
Im guessing you don't know how emergency services work.
@@JLJ061 The rule in Chicago is if an Ambo is more than 16 blocks from the call a fire company is dispatched as an "ambulance assist"

yea good ride long on this ladder truck to this emergency

@AustrianFriend: Well, driving faster wouldn't make much sense there, the speed was good enough in my opinion and it's anyway just "Back Pain". xD
I thought I saw the spare for Truck 81 from the crash seen
just watching the video and the road surface looks bad - ie need repair - I am just thinking of all the law suites due to broken fire trucks and damage fire-fighters backs due to the bumps etc - this must slow down response times etc
At 1:17, did anybody else notice that a portable radio battery was about dead??
YES BACK PAIN! Shame on you for thinking down on a patient!
Easy there Marcus Welby
I guess that I'm the only one who likes the PA-300
it is a PA-300 Siren
Marc-André Sansoucy You're not, trust me. :D
@ Uni
Come on pal, get real. "Rarely are there any fires..."

Because there are many Firefighters on-duty, and they get there quick enough to extinguish the fire before it gets out of hand.
Also, we don't get cats out of trees. They do it themselves.
sounds like one knackerd wailer
I rode on truck 29 once.
give that truck to me.. i will turn it into truck 81 from chicago fire!
i rode truck 29 once.
Go truck 29 :-)
Back pain??
eine Drehleiter für Rückenschmerzen..... na servas Kaiser
スピードの割に激しいサイレンｗ
Why do people care so much about the siren being used? Who cares what they use...
personal preference. Most rigs use a federal electronic Q and most members seem to like to run it in manual mode like a mechanical siren,
If the roads are any rougher they will need a Tatra or Oshkosh Striker fire truck (O.o)
watch?v=yCEaFhSdo88
Scene sorry not scent
lol, they complaining for a 911 call for back pain? we had a 911 call for a stubbed toe and much more bs lol
Central ave lol
Do they really let people ride along to emergencys like that?
Out dated equipment, they need an upgrade.
It's outdated because their usual truck needed repairs so they used a spare.
i'm pretty sure 29 is out of service permanently now
What happened to it?
Go truck 81
Please don't use this truck again with that stupid siren use the q siren
