It seems this video is gaining a lot of popularity as of lately. Stay tuned, I am working out the details for more videos like this soon. Also if you're new here please check out the other videos on my channel, leave a like and Subscribe!
Quinn Dickinson this is what I want to see more POV videos like this. I’ll subscribe if you keep these coming!
Quinn Dickinson in what general area is this because I drive down 422 almost daily... but I’m in NE Ohio... also I figured I’d say TYFYS and nice job from a fire cadet/ EMT student
Quinn Dickinson is this your truck and have you heard of Montgomery county in PA
Wow. White knuckle driving. I don't know how you guys deal with stuff like this day in and day out.
I am a nurse, and have seen some nasty stuff, but I could never do your job, ever.
All first responders have my undying respect.
Stay safe out there !!!
People in my department always brag about how fast they can drive to prove skill. But this is true First Responder driving skill
Thanks!
A true first responder drives safety minded, not look how fast I can get there
Hope to be like him someday. That driving was awesome
Safety first
@@d1001 indeed first response drivers win the most of there time with the privilages that come with riding code (drive trugh red lights and use of sholder) it is the abilety to keep moving that wins time not the speed at witch you can drive
2:46 the equinox was doing his best to get out of yalls way😭😭bless
but the moment he noticed the code 3 vehicel also choosing the sholder her responded perfectly by getting back in to the lane. More drivers like that please
4:37 I'm impressed with how quickly and efficiently they got out of the way.
Thats Eastern country for ya (Rarely)
2:45 that was the fastest driver reaction I have ever seen.
Yup
Me watching this “wow this looks familiar why do I feel like I’ve been here before?”
*sees exit to Allentown*
Okay
same! haha
It's like a trip down memory lane. I miss living up that way.
Same here🤣
It's in Reading, PA, so if you live there or near there, you almost certainly would have driven on those roads.
Yeah..me too
I like how in many European countries you are obligated to form an emergency corridor. This would benefit the US greatly I think.
Great maneuvering ability, I couldn’t have done it without a navigator to help with siren and looking out for others 👍👍👍👍🚒🚒🚒
Thanks
I love how people don’t move out of the way or hardly move out of the way. I hate that when responding
Did you want them to just ram the cars around them to get out of the way? As soon as they hit traffic the cars stuck in the traffic did their best to move where they could safely.
Clicked on this random video I got recommended and it could have been anywhere in the world and yet it’s the same highway I used to take everyday to get to school in my hometown. Crazy
Same! Random video late at night, watched a bit and what???? that's 222? State Hill Road??? Hometown!
@ 2:30 that’s how they do it in Germany they’re calling it for rescue street in between the two lanes and behold it actually works fine most of the time. Great video.
Gotta say, nice job protecting your lane even in the dense traffic!
Thanks!
Not only responding to code 3 in traffic but doing it in the middle of reading (which is even more impressive)
Wider shoulder lanes would have at least helped a little more for these guys. Great job getting through that hell hole. Really know your stuff
Pennsylvania roads are some of the worst in the country for things like that.
Thats why I`d prefer that they make way in the middle of the road. The cars on the right go to the right, the cars on the left to the left. And if you`re having more than 2 lanes, then only the cars on the most left lane go to the left, all the rest to the right. That way you don`t have to deal with small shoulder lanes, or shoulder lanes full of debris.
That's terrific driving, great video
Thanks!
He should add a Rumbler ;) lol
Yea
I agree
Absolutely agree
0:28 Every time I hear this siren I get chills, it isn't really used much, if at all (at least not where I live). The reason it gives me chills is because the one time I do remember it being used was on 9/11. Such an eerie thing to hear to go with that day. Every time I hear it I think of that.
So much more respect by drivers than here in UK. Good job guys..
I would say I wish this vid was longer, but then that would mean longer wait for the patients. great vid
Love this. thanks for all you do
I was just on that stretch of road 2 days ago going to the Octoberfest in Reading.
I grew up in sinking spring. Was just at the pagoda the other week. Lots of memories from reading.
I love how The Who video powercall is used
Love that Powercall siren
Wow, people are actually paying attention. Good for them!
Responding Code 3 in a POV, what sort of loopy land have I entered 😂
Leroy Jenkins quite common in America
the volunteer fire service
Some states require a siren and lights, it's pretty normal
Leroy Jenkins That loopy land is called an Emergency Vehicle state not a courtesy state
Damn this was way more entertaining compared to what I thought this video was going to be
This is why every single Highway should have a *Full side lane, just for this type of situation.
That was stressful and I was only watching the video!
The amount of people that don't even ATTEMPT to move is staggering
That's a miserable drive without an emergency. Great driving.
Love the powercall siren 👍🏻
very neat
5:40 : lol. I've never seen a first responder hauling a boat behind it. Nice.
Love the power call
I was impressed by both the driver and traffic.
Outstanding situational awareness from the blue car at 4:40, probably saved valuable seconds.
Always tough getting to vehicle accidents on the freeway as they tend to create their own traffic jams.
Just watching this was anxiety provoking! I don't know how are able to do because I wouldn't know what to do
anyone realize the three traffic stops next to each other 😂
shoutout from reading/muhlenberg!!!
I thought you stopped doing The response videos
Great job.
Thanks!
I see no reflections of anything flashing. Are you running lights?
3:15 on the 422 sign.
3:16 Look at the sign on the right
3:16
Open Ya Eyes Wider Bub he is running lights and they glare off street signs perfectly lmao
Jason Asselin No he just forgot to turn off his siren from coming from McDonald’s. Yes he’s got lights on.
I love that siren!
love american sirens for me it's the best siren sounds and lights in the world!
what vehicle is it and service
The traffic busted out of the way admirably in my opinion 👏
HAPPY NEW YEAR MY OLD FRIENDS 2020
what is the name of the outro-song?
I can’t believe how people don’t pull over n stop, so ER vehicles can get through!
Can't really do either of them if traffic is already stopped - so best bet is to hope the traffic moves forward if they can so traffic behind can make room
I love the power call
Awesome Video.
Thanks
At 0:52 that construction worker is totally a sleep.
Great driving.......awful siren choice
Sorry about the heavy traffic.
I
We used to have a four-lane divided highway two each way that went through what we called them the Golden mile meeting most of the shopping was there and on Friday night it was parked. We had a call I was driving there was no where to go the cars couldn’t move out of the way and there was no side road I had to wait my officer laid on the siren but we were like 10 cars back from the traffic light. He certainly was very hard on the other drivers and on me. Truly a bad situation and there was no other road I could’ve taken. I could go when the traffic light changed the cars moved out of the way and we were off.
Awesome video
Thank you!
I’m sorry but the P call needs to be partnered with an air horn or Q it’s an unwritten rule lol and a rumbler would definitely help😈
The Smart Siren stopped working so this siren was put in as a temporary siren till it gets fixed. What might end up happening is that the Smart Siren will be fixed and the Powercall will run with it. The original plan for the POV a while back was run dual sirens. We were going to run a Unitrol 80K and original RLS siren. When the RLS stopped working, we replaced it with the Federal Signal Smart Siren.
That's why all city departments have Rumblers
Only way they are getting through
3:35 That Subaru Impreza nsx looks cool ( next to the schoolbus
Wow, the drivers out there react a good deal better than the ones here in California.
Here in CA it’s every driver for themselves
In pa people pull over but when their isn't traffic everyone drives like a maniac. Btw Philadelphia is 45 mins away from this road and there it's full with idiotic drivers
What siren u use
Holy fuck man, those are some of the tightest squeezes I've ever seen anyone make.
What is the outro song?
Its that powercall siren going code 3 again. :)
Pittsburgh area?
Jeez damn good driving
if someone accidentally (no pun intended) grazed the ambulance slightly while you guys are responding to an emergency, would you guys just blow it off or depends on how bad the hit is?
You're required to stop, no matter how slight it is.
I always hear this siren behind my house
ah how it warms my heart seeing people from Pa kinda moving out of the way for first responders
Its sometimes that way not always
What's the siren's name?
Nice siren 👌
so what do you do when you arrive? just curious
Basically traffic control and keep vehicles and people away from emergency scenes.
Fire police stuff
I was going to say, this isn't heavy traffic. Next minute...
Why was there three cops with cars pulled over?
What kind of vehicle are you driving?
Read the decription.
Need some Q2 on that thing.
Nice drive good job
Is it weird I’ve never seen an emergency vehicle going down a highway??
you're weird then
Great driving. But your siren sound like it’s sick.
Nice 422 reading
You guys should throw an air horn on there, by far the most annoying and intimidating sound. It will make people MOVE😂
Yessir
What's causing this traffic? Is it the accident?
Old school siren stick kicking 😁
i wish all an unpleasant evening who didn't move
In my country 30% of people don’t give the way to the ambulance and for real the ambulance won’t take you to hospital if you don’t have any money or you are poor. one more thing is People usually follow behind the ambulance when they stuck in the traffic.
August 15th 2019 was my birthday.
Good God. A nightmare. Looked like a parking lot
Balls of steel...
Is this in PA?
Maryland Car Guy yes, just outside of Reading
Nice siren
I hate driving lights and siren. This guy’s good.
Thanks
dang man that Power Call siren gets dang annoying after the first few minutes of blaring that thing
The Lt. was actually using illegal lights according to Pennsylvania State Law
Incorrect. Lieutenants, captains, assistant Chiefs and Chiefs can run red lights and siren.
I thought he couldn't post POV Response Videos???
Sgt.Good18 I thought so too...
Well if you bothered to read the description, youll see it was somone else who was responding
Sorry for the late reply. An opportunity came up to record a POV video with another person that isn't apart of the departments that were in the older videos. New POV videos get posted every so often when the opportunity arises or I find an old unused one (I'm almost 99% sure I don't have any other unused ones but some were posted a while ago)
Are doing POV videos now
Every so often when the opportunity comes up yes.
Would it have helped to just take surface streets amidst all this traffic? Longer route I know but not killing time working through cars
uhh
looks like rt. 81 south in Pa
I don't remember what starts what since 222 turns into 422 but it's one of the 2.
What sure do y’all usr
