This is what I like about some of these POV en route videos... They give the viewer some idea of how large some of the covered area each of these fire companies are assigned to, as well as just how far the first responders have to travel to an emergency call...
You should see our area. 1 lane dirt roads, blind hairpin turns, no hydrants in the entire fire district, the law doesn't even come out here to calls 99% of the time.
EXCELLENT job guys, off the engine tool in hand, packed up ready to work, line stretched and water on the fire within a few seconds. Once again.........excellent job!!! I know it's " just a car fire", but it shows how this deot operates
Just started with my dept several weeks ago. We typically only have 1 person on-scene for the first 20 to 30 minutes for most daytime calls. The 1 lane, narrow dirt roads and hairpin turns really delay any backup, plus our population is so light. We don't have a single hydrant in our district, just a bunch of creeks down in the hollers. We had a fire on one of those 1 lane dirt roads several weeks back and a dept that responded for mutual aid had to fill from the creek and drive the engine backwards 2 miles on that curvy dirt road up a ridge to refill the engine at the top of the ridge. Before the mutual aid dept got there my captain was doing what he could by himself with a 2.5 inch hose. He had to do that for about 25 minutes.
I agree with you Fox 100%. I was a volunteer firefighter for five years, if some people don't know what they're talkin about they don't need to comment on anything
If you guys are volunteers you guys are better than the pros Some quick action like I kept the truck back to keep it safe.. Also you're not scared to blow that Grover Stutter time save lives THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE ❤❤🚒🚒🚒🚒
I think there needs to be a couple LE’s that follows the truck. Start giving tickets out to the people that don’t pull over. I know you don’t always have time but at least try. They one person in the car that past the truck on the freeway definitely needs to get a ticket. I’m sorry but what if you had a medical emergency. Wouldn’t you want people to pull over so the ambulance/fire truck could get there faster? It’s the law no matter what. Any ways, great video!!
@@jayasmrmore3687 gotta remember that these trucks still weigh any where from 60 to 80K lbs and usually run 5 or 6 speed automatic transmissions that are geared to accelerate as fast as possible but lack the speed. On the highway they are lucky to reach 65 mph.
When I bought a house In Rohnert Park California, our house was basically across the street from the fire department there my wife's all "great were probably going to have are to here the siren all the time! I said I love it! And low and behold the fire truck Is came out Sirens and airhorn( FULL ON GROVER STUTTERTONE Screaming past our house And I gave my👍 THUMBS UP 👍 as they went past!! Then I started tearing up My wife at the time said why are you crying? I said fuck I Always wanted to be a firefighter , life saver, (A REAL HERO) She put her arm around Me and said why didn't you? I said I just couldn't do it because of what they have to deal with at accident scenes and heights I don't like heights.. but I love my job as a mechanic! YOU GUYS ARE REAL HEROES THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE)🇺🇸🇺🇸❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🚒🚒 JAMES PIERCE
Volunteer fire fighters train on a weekly basis and most dept's have between 40-100 Volunteer's. We also train with our surrounding FDs. And closest city depts. These guys go to Lancaster alot. My local volunteer company assists the city of Allentown almost weekly. We have US RT 22 I78 and the PA turnpike northeast extention in our township as well.
Well you don’t want the vehicle to breakdown while responding so yes, if anything it’s more important for them to have it in tip top shape. As soon as something goes wrong it should be repaired.
It's the radio traffic from dispatch and probably other trucks about the incident they are going to. Aka privet information. Some can have it in there videos. Some can't. Like police. Some departments allow officers to film while on duty and some cannot. Same deal.
They talked a game plan before you got on scene. This is what a lot of departments need to start. This is why this department had water on fire so fast. Game plan ! , ! Can’t say it enough. Communication and be knowing and doing not looking and learning.
With windows rolled up and radios on, people don't hear. The more audible warning the better. I am so old that when I was first a Deputy Sheriff we only had a wind up or Q siren. When we got the electronic sirens, I kept my Q and used it when clearing intersections. The combo of Yelp and Q was effective.
@@carlsonjimbo Well hopefully he is letting someone know that his vehicle just burn to the ground. Although no telling with people these days. Even though there is not much a person can do, when they don't have any means or knowledge about how to put out a fire.
I was a Battalion Chief for a fire department near Mt. St. Helens. I accidently put on the high-low when we left the station and turned it off immediately. Dispatch radioed to say 3 folks called to see if Mt. St. Helens erupted again. The high-low was the signal for eruptiion and evacuation.
Generally a good job especially for such a long run. Just a few comments: the one firefighter came up to the care without a tool. He should have anticipated what would be needed. When he returned with the proper tool he didn't hustle. A good the thing, the firefighters avoided the tires and the ends of the bumpers. The shock absorbers can burn and shoot to the front and/or rear of the car like canons. Burning tires are obvious problems and it's not safe to stands next to them when they catch fire. Generally, you folks did a great job on adifficult fire.
What is it was small town fire departments and their incessant use of dual sirens? It's like the smaller the town the more noise you have to make, why? What is the point of making such an obnoxious racket for no one and honking at grass half the time?
I think the guy controlling the horn and q-siren watched the “need more cowbell” video a few too many times... calm down on that horn.. especially when there’s not even a single driver nearby..
Get on the horn and be loud. you never know when a kid on a bicycle or a young driver with his music blasting is approaching from a side street. Its nice to know when a emergency vehicle is coming up behind you when there is a hill or turn that obstructs your rear view.
I've never seen an engine company get water on a fire so quickly. You folks are pros, volunteer or not. Kudos.
Lucy Lu I’m thinking the golden rule is 3 minutes to get water out could be wrong.
100% spot on!!!! These guys git off the engine packed up ready to go to work. By far better than even some of the career depts we watch on here
Check out some Dutch video’s… 30-40 second is a standard
Captain: how much air horn do you want?
Engineer: yes
They have to honk at intersections and to still let people know they are close.

@@jayasmrmore3687 Yup, you can still take a right on a red light

I see a lot of complaints about it in the comments here but I thought the siren on this truck was the supreme fire engine siren. Too cool.
That’s an impressive response time for that kind of a distance don’t change anything you do
Brilliant work, these volunteer departments really get to it.
Who was the guy in the orange vest and hard hat walking around? (His vest doesn't have reflective stripes, so is he not a road worker?)
could be a surveyor for the state or a contractor?
Looked like he had a Va dept of Forestry emblem on his helmet.
What kind of air horn is that. They sound awesome. I love the PowerCall too!
I am not with their fire department but I would say it's a (Grover's stutter tone) GROVER STUTTERTONE SAVIN LIVES !!!!!!!!
Thank you for your service
Very nice video, but why does the audio cut out SO MUCH?
Profanity or sensitive information

Not in Virginia no.
@@fjblgb7112 that’s crazy 🤦🏽♂️

I find it wild that even the emergency service vehicle still needs a state vehicle emissions and safety sticker.
Well you don’t want the vehicle to breakdown while responding so yes, if anything it’s more important for them to have it in tip top shape. As soon as something goes wrong it should be repaired.
Pro as can be, but why the drama with the airhorn on an empty road, with good visual distance?
These boys know their shit. Proud of them.
Great driving
That dude sitting on that guardrail just contemplating everything
guy in the not so safety vest and hard hat walking around like he means something lol
brother your sound on your go pro needs to be repaired so it wont cut out soo much.
danny haley No, He was cutting out private information.
The no sound for a few seconds is clearly edit in the audio to cut out cursing or private info.
It's the radio traffic from dispatch and probably other trucks about the incident they are going to. Aka privet information. Some can have it in there videos. Some can't. Like police. Some departments allow officers to film while on duty and some cannot. Same deal.

Somebody really likes the federal q and bouncing that horn
What is
Do firetrucks have a low max speed or do the drivers just not want to go too fast on the highway?
Some trucks can go only 50 depending on a tanker or this truck can go a little faster
Well at least they can go faster than a bicycle
hey that is my birthday
poor guy just sitting there at a total loss at the end.
Was he afraid the open highway couldn't hear them coming?
Bobby Blankenship It's called having fun with the pedals.
If ya got it, use it.
It's a game to these people. Look at me, look at me, I'm a firefighter. Morons.
With sirens in music now, people don't realize that the siren they hear is for real. So the Horn grabs attention and cuts through music.
With windows rolled up and radios on, people don't hear. The more audible warning the better. I am so old that when I was first a Deputy Sheriff we only had a wind up or Q siren. When we got the electronic sirens, I kept my Q and used it when clearing intersections. The combo of Yelp and Q was effective.
In indonesia this is imposible
no clue how to use the q or air horn properly.
They come with user instructions like shampoo?
Be seen, be heard and don't get hit. 🤷♂️
@@firefighterpk2440 there is a proper way to use air horns and sirens. every driver goes through training on how to do so. or should
@@Moneymike29 fire department is named Buchanan fire department, go join and show them how it's done if your so good
wow.... wet stuff on the red stuff in 60 seconds.... great job
DON'T NOCK THAT BEER OFF
Good thing the vehicle didn't have magnesium wheels on it. Besides there was enough there to burn already!
I'm assuming here...but the guy sitting on the guardrail seems more interested in his tweeting than his car burning up.
@@carlsonjimbo Well hopefully he is letting someone know that his vehicle just burn to the ground. Although no telling with people these days. Even though there is not much a person can do, when they don't have any means or knowledge about how to put out a fire.
Great response.
If they were in an old truck they would be out of air. We couldn’t use that air horn that long
Because we need them
Does the person controlling the Q and horn pedals have a fetish for noise? Lol
I think we all have that fetish in the front seat
In VA. Law States if lights are on Sirens must be on. So might as well go all out.
must be ill safety sticker on windshield
Dont cut audio so much//////
Nice!
heavy on the sirens there, wasn't too much traffic but then again, you can't never to too heavy on the horn
You should fix the horn, its stuck..
Do not need the yelp with the Q. Or when no traffic. Afraid a tree might jump out in front of them.
James C Bliss you can never have too much siren
All firefighters are just having fun when they are driving to the scene! It makes them feel like a little kid again! Its not hurting anyone right?
Yeah I love when they lay on the q
It'dbe different if it was at night. During the day it dont hurt

The louder the safer you are for every one, traffic isn’t the only thing to worry about, deer, children, cyclists are all obstacles
We havr to blow sirens and air horn at every intersection. No matter if vehicle there or not.
