It's especially frustrating when it's due to some dipshit in front of you in a 4-wheeler with like 30 feet of space

This is so true. Their intention is there that they want to pull over, but a truck that size, yes, impossible.

@@Sirisma I've had that before here in the UK. Safe to say the 4 wheeler got pushed out of the way by myself. I ended up with 3 points on my license but I found out after the incident that had I not have done that the casualty would've probably had life changing injuries if they were in the vehicle any longer. Worth it.

We know it’s not your fault. You fellas always do the right thing

If everyone used there nut and left space or keep to the side as soon you got to the queue you won’t have to move out the way and it will leave a space down the middle for fire engine or ambulance just think it might be your family so you would want them to get there fast to sort it

Because there's a breakdown lane, so of course the firetruck will try to force its way past vehicles (like semi-trailers) that can't easily move. Yup, makes perfect sense.

VerilyVerbatim you can clearly see a guardrail. It’s safer to go down the middle. Plus, what if someone is in the breakdown lane.... wait for it.... broken down?

@@rJayisawesome 7:06 Really? And how long was the firetruck sitting there, trying to force semi-trailers to move? Plus, you only split lanes like that if there's NO OTHER OPTION. European emergancy crews have a common saying... 'lane open, leave open'. If that happens to be the emergancy lane, so be it. It's an open lane (for emergancy vehicles), leave it open. It's far quicker to drive down that, then to try and force semi-trailers to move to the right when they can't?

@@Bcarr122391 So what if there's a guard rail? We have those also, but it's actually easier to drive down the breakdown lane, and make vehicles in the closest lane shift over a bit more to give the firetruck more room. Also, you're assuming much.... but even if you do happen to come across a stalled vehicle.... it's still far quicker to make a few vehicles move out of your way, as opposed to hundreds. The firetrucks come equipped with loudspeakers, and instructions of 'everyone, move to the left' would get the point across.

@@rJayisawesome 'Europeans do it better'.... your words, not mine. All I said for the European emergancy crews was the common saying 'lane open, leave open'. If drivers hear sirens, and there's an open lane.... leave it open? Also, 'bigger' is not necessarily better. Many countries around the world have much smaller firetrucks, and yet, everyone moves out of the way regardless.

Peachy my local department doesnt allow the use of the Q-siren at night, and can only use sirens if they are near vehicles or an intersection (at night)

@@YodaSW2 mine too. Actually every emergency vehicle in my country doesn't use sirens at night , if they don't need to.

well, enjoy the horns in the middle of the night..lol~

Is that really necessary NO

I agree with you completely!!!!

Well Thank You for your support brother!!

Your welcome

Thank you

@@jakemartinez876 man come over

The 'move to the right' rule should only apply to active lanes. If the breakdown lane wasn't blocked by slow-moving heavy vehicles, the firetruck could easily have used it, and would have arrived at the accident site much faster. Or am I the only one trying to use logic... lane open, LEAVE OPEN.

Absolutely ridiculous!

Do you realize how little space there was

@@7yxc Wow. What a waste of time to come into a reply on a comment just to say that. Saddening.

@@peterparkerakaspider-manth2977 "the hero" wouldn't come into the reply section of a comment to be an asshole.

Howard3S I agree 💯 that’s the same thing I tell my crew on the Engine. You can’t make all the noise in the world and it still not get to the scene any quicker.

It will make people want to escape the noise!🤣

Except sometimes there really is no room to move at all...

Howard the shoulder would have been more affective

it’s been 4y where are you at now

​@@513FIREwho knows aye

Excellent point.

If I was called to a house fire in the middle of the night, I would show up in flip flops and my shorts. At that point nobody cares what your wearing. Throw my gear on and hop in. And it doesn’t matter if it’s all girls show up and no boys. They have the same power as men.

Luckily I live like 70 seconds from the station. I lay out my clothes socks and shoes and car keys by the door.

"The Beast" was a beast driver . Professional he is.

Good God I didn't think for awhile that engine did have an air-horn. I have first responder & EMS history. Engines I've ever known will use that air-horn like crazy along with th siren approaching all major intersections to make sure cars KNOW that the engine is coming thru!! I was shocked how less they used it on the city streets. I woulda given that %@$#& u-haul an EARFUL!! I'd have held that air-horn in honk mode!!! Lol. It's crazy how many to this day just freeze like deer in a headlight. Move to the RIGHT you idiots!!! What, did you fail that question on your driving test??? Geesh

Why? 😬😹 Just wondering!

@@menosbbgirl Just the sirens. The horns.

LOL.

Not too late. I was a cop - hated the corruption within my department. On the side, I secretly got EMT certified, and took the civil service exam for the fire department. Took all the physical exams, psych evals, interviews, etc under my departments nose (they seriously were astonishingly corrupt, so I decided to say screw em and not give them any notice). Got hired, and told my chief of my plan - he agreed and said if my Captain called all angry that I just upped and quit, he’d brush him off. Two days before my fire academy date I went right up to my Captain with all my gear, placed it on his desk, gave him the finger and quit. Went to the fire academy, passed, and am now a Firefighter/Paramedic. Best decision of my life swapping from blue to red! NEVER TOO LATE! And I did this all at 34. My only regret is I wish I did this sooner. I was Army and went right into the police force upon getting out. Wish I went green to red rather then green to blue, then to red… My only life regret… Never too late!

When I say my chief, I meant my at the time, new fire chief of the department I got hired to! He was cool with it. Went to work at my police department and quit right there - went home immediately after and prepped my stuff for the fire academy lol. Good times! Best job in the world. Nobody flips me off as I drive by, never get called a pig, nobody’s mad to see me; it’s amazing! I have people come up to me to thank me, people are happy to see me, I get to teach fire safety at my kids’ school and all their friends love it! Let’s be real. Do you want a ride along in a cruiser or an apparatus? We all know that answer lol… I became a cop to help my community, and got crapped on for it… I switched to fire to still help my community, and it’s nice to see people being appreciative of it! Never too late, man! Give it some thought - best job in the world, best decision ever, and I couldn’t be more content with my life even if I tried!

And you can’t beat our schedule! Here’s mine and like 90% of departments within America! Monday: 24 hour shift Tuesday: 24 hour shift Wednesday: off Thursday: off Friday: off Saturday: off Sunday: 12 hour shift in the ambulance since I’m also a paramedic. Repeat that for 3 weeks. My 4th week I’m off for an entire 7 days. Then repeat this entire process every single month. I legit work 60 hours - 20 hours of overtime. I literally work 180 out of 744 hours in a 31 day month - 6 24 hour shifts as a firefighter, and 3 12 hour shifts as a paramedic. And yes, you still get PAID on your 4th week! It’s weird and hard to explain how it works, but you still get paid! I make close to 7.2k a month from that alone. You get so much time home with your family, you have PLENTY of time to work a 2nd job if you’d like - I do! I work as a part time real estate agent just because I get bored easily while my wife is at work and my kids are at school and I’m all alone lol. I make decent money off of that, plus I use my VA Loan and bought some properties to be a landlord for, and my disability from the Army. Add all that on top of my wife’s salary as well - it’s phenomenal money, man! You can’t beat it. I’m 48 on, 96 off, 12 on, then repeat. The 12 on and then go home just to wake up to do the 48 on gets kind of hard at times - but I’m in a moderate call department; so I get to sleep still - it works itself out. Other schedules are 24 on, 48 off for the first 3 weeks. Then you get 5 days off your 4th week. Then you can also have the schedule of 24 on, 24 off, 24 on, 24 off, 24 on, 96 off. My favorite is 48 on, 96 off. Plenty of time to work a 2nd job if need be. Can’t beat it, man. Anyways, that’s my Ted Talk; sorry for the long 3 comments. Have a good one!

same

How about just take the wide-open emergency shoulder on the right-hand side all the way down.

Nah it doesn't. Just two tones - warble and whoop.

That's a power call and adam12 siren

Thats all you need, the classics!

Bike Bro's You couldn’t of driven there any faster so STFU!

15 minutes??? Dallas FD is getting hammered for that because the national FBI time to respond is 5 minutes or less.

@@tylercorbin8073 um it was a complement

that was by far the most stupidest thing to do u never get out of ur rig to do that that putting ur life at risk i think he should have been suspended for that.. risk vs gain the risk was to great for just a mvc

dan wetzel not a huge risk in dead stop traffic ...

@@danwetzel4021 traffic was at a dead stop and he was always in front of the engine. i dont see the life threatening danger here..

@@danwetzel4021 you're kind of ignorant here...... Definitely not high risk in stopped traffic..... Also, he was smart and kept himself in front of his truck... That fire truck weighs in at a pretty few pounds and some jackass in a car isn't going to flinch that fire truck... We use our trucks as a barrier frequently, especially on accident calls...... What is the difference in him getting about 200 feet ahead of his rig in stopped traffic to inform drivers to move and being on scene with two lanes of traffic whizzing by at 70 mph 5 feet a way from you while working an auto accident?? I think it's pretty clear that you have no idea what you are talking about..... I'm a Firefighter of 10 years running and what you just said is most probably one of the absolute dumbest things I've heard in my entire life.... If he should be suspended for standing in stopped traffic to inform the public that he serves, then I guess we should all be suspended every time we work an auto accident with traffic blowing past at high speeds just a few feet away, right? What he did was fine and in no way should result in suspension. He communicated to the drivers clogged up on the interstate and managed to clear a path for his rig in doing so... If you think that constitutes disciplinary action, I pray to God that you never find your way to any rank, should you actually be a firefighter.... Your logic is flawed and I'd be willing to bet you have little-no experience as a Firefighter.

@@danwetzel4021 this is by far one of the stupidest comments i have ever seen. you've earned a very special reward. Is the boogie-man gonna get him? with all those stopped vehicles idk man, he could be hiding behind an 18-wheeler. jesus.

@@stevenhagee4856 damn, do people move out the way?

@@7yxc like their life depended on it!

@@stevenhagee4856 wow

it's America, look for video from Europe and you'll see a difference

Where I live the roads are narrow and still we even pull up on the sidewalk to let emergency vehicles through

Ya its pathetic I'm a paramedic/firefighter in both RI and CT and it doesn't matter if I'm running blue or red lights people don't know how to drive. I was almost run off the road one day by a women who had pulled over for my blue lights then decided to pull back out just as I was about to pass. I had to go into the breakdown area of the other side of the road to avoid a collision. Worst ones are the ones that see you and don't care or bother trying to pull over or park in the fire lanes in front of stores get those a lot in the tourist season during the summer

Part of it is that our road ways are way too small especially in the median and shoulders not enough room for people to pull off.

@@2012frawd in that situation I could understand but I've had people just not move even when they had room and in one occasion while responding to a multi dept. structure fire a beach goer intentionally blocked me even flicking me off in her rear view mirror. Unfortunately for her RISP was responding as well and also saw what she did and her beach plans turned into sitting in a cell for the day
