lot's of training before you can drive for real

Drive it like u stole it..

yeah the best at BLOWING REDLIGHTS, such assholes

I hate blue lights on fire apparatus but it’s so beautiful I’ll make an exception

Thanks! They’re always fun to see. I’ve finally organized all the footage I’ve gathered over the past 2 years, so there should be more compilations coming soon!

Thank you! They're not too far away from where we live, so we try to catch them as much as possible!

My favorite thing about the city!

Thank you! I really like the new R1, too. This channel might be a little different from the others (which we also watch and really like!) because my 7-year-old son is a big part of it. The channel happened very organically--I started out taking videos for him, then started getting into it myself. The first couple videos I made mainly so we could watch them easily on our tv, and figured why not make them public. The response has been great!

@@TripleJFire Yeah that’s awesome, I’m glad you’re happy with how it was received

Thank you! It’s a combination of good internal stabilization these days (I actually prefer to shoot on iPhone over my “real” camera!) and editing out the lousy parts!

Again I really enjoy your videos. As for your child's enthusiasm; I was the same way & at 16 joined my local Volunteer Fire Department and in 1983 became the Department Fire Chief. Although no longer active at 75, I most definitely enjoy your videos and hope that your child keeps the enthusiasm about all things Fire Department.

thanks!

@@TripleJFire u are also welcome

thanks!

@@TripleJFire u are welcome

Thanks! Haha, yeah, midtown/downtown traffic is something else. When we can keep up with a rig on foot you know it's bad!

@@TripleJFire do they ticket drivers if they’re blocking the fire apparatus when they’re on a call

@@yukonjak05 I’ve never seen it, but doesn’t necessarily mean it doesn’t happen. I think it’s usually just too chaotic and unless NYPD was there watching it happen, wouldn’t be able to even find the drivers. I have heard on the scanner about units being delayed on a box because there’s a car blocking the driveway to leave quarters, but never heard the follow up to how they eventually got the car out of the way.

@@TripleJFirethank you

awesome, thanks!

Thanks! Love the R1 horn, too-we can always tell when they’re coming!

thanks!

Great video nice work

awesome-- thanks!

@@TripleJFire What type editor did you use on your compilation video, if I may ask?

@@LSVIDEOSFIRE ​ I use iMovie (I use a Mac). How about you? I see you have a lot of cool videos on your page!

@@TripleJFire I'm trying to find the best, Im using clipchamp but I need to upgrade. Thanks for info. Keep up the GREAT work!

Good question! I think there are only a few manufacturers. I’ll try to find out!

Not a stupid question! There is one Rescue 1 in NYC, in Manhattan. There is also a Collapse Rescue 1. Each borough has both a rescue and collapse rescue- Brooklyn is 2, Bronx 3, Queens 4, and Staten Island is 5.

I agree, if that’s the new electronic horn, it sounds terrible. Get the stutter back!!

I wish I knew the full answer to this! Blue is only allowed on the rear of vehicles in NYS. Blue has better visibility against red/white/amber… but I don’t know why R1 has all that blue and other rigs don’t.

It only looks like it on video but not in real life! I think it’s the interaction of the frame rate on the video and the rate of flickering of the lights, which I’m assuming are LED. Happens every time I catch an MTA bus on video! 😂
