When it's you or yours needing emergency help, the truck never goes fast enough. That driver was very smooth and purposeful with every maneuver. He (she) handled that truck beautifully at high speeds. The only thing that irks me is how people don't see it important to get out of the way. When I'm out on the road (I'm a package delivery driver) and a siren is approaching from back OR front, I get onto the shoulder, even the grass if I can. I get out of the way to let the emergency vehicle pass quickly. I will pull over on a 4-lane highway, regardless of the direction of the approaching vehicle, just in case it has to come onto my side. I guess they don't teach emergency etiquette in driver's training nowadays.

For those saying such a long ride, this is a rescue truck not an engine. 50 states they were third rescue in. This is a mass casualty. Companies from numerous counties are responding. I hope these kids are ok. Hearing the call for lifeflight cannot be good. Thanks to rescue 50. These are great videos.

It can never be said enough, Thank you to all first responders. Rich or poor, young or old, white or black, smart or dumb, nice or mean, first responders are going to help you and me with every last effort to keep us safe. And that is what's truly beautiful about them. Thank you first responders, even when we forget to say it.

Those spinning lights used to frighten the heck out of me when I was a child - thank you, Montgomery County (MD) Fire Department.

The spinning Roto-Ray lights on the front of fire trucks are so cool!!!

Man, that tuck was FLYIN'. Haven't seen a truck go that fast in a while. Nice driving!

Great driving! Like a boss.

1. Damn that was a long drive 2. That truck was flyin... had my adrenaline flowing 3. I could've watched that for an hour without getting bored 4. Sad reason for the call :(

Doesn't anyone pull to side for emergency vehicles anymore?

Damn that truck was COOKIN on the way there.

Thank you , first responders.Some times, we forget, to say it....🔯☮️

This is a great video for how to handle stress, anxiety, and so many emotions while still keeping composure handling the rig and keeping the crew safe. Job well done Sir, one of the best apparatus responses I have ever seen.

Love 'em or hate 'em, a Roto-Ray will get your attention like nothing else. Personally, I love 'em. They have a unique look, and the single white lamp give a unique strobe pattern that informs traffic directly ahead, "Hey, I'm comin' yer way ... MOVE!"

At 7:56 y'all just said screw that stop sign! Love it! When I'd respond to calls where dispatch requested we step up our response there was a few stop signs we blew at a high rate of speed! Keep up the great work guys!

That was awesome it was like i was sitting right there. Best footage. My dad is a retired police officer. I remember riding in his car when i was little (of course not during a call). But i often wondered what it felt like. No wonder their adrenaline is so high by the time they get there long or short distance. When your going that fast. Im a RN and my adrenaline is soring when a code is called by the time you run and get to where it is your ready for what ever is going to take place. This video is better than any TV show. Thanks well done. It really makes you aware of how hard and how these people put their lives on the line for us. Amazing😀

Gotta love the Federal Q siren. You can literally tell how pumped up and dire the situation is based on how long that thing stays wide open..... No siren says "GTFO of the way" like that thing does.

An overturned school bus, not good at all. Thoughts with the first responders, the friends, the families and the community. Good video though - you guys were haulin' (as I'm sure anyone would to such a call).

You gotta love the difference between urban and suburban areas and how drivers behave. In suburban areas, despite having plenty of room, they move aside the road and let the truck pass. In other videos from urban areas cars just WON'T move,

Just a reminder if there is no median separating you from the road the fire engine/ambulance/police car is on, you should pull over COMPLETELY and STOP until the emergency vehicle has passed. Itdoesn’t matter if you’re going opposite directions, or if you are two+ lanes over. If you can, you need to get the fuck out of the way. The bus at 1:52 is the perfect example.

Roto ray, check, Q2b check, power call check, lets roll, 10-8.

Man you guys are really going the distance! I live in atlanta! Marietta ga cobb county! Thank you for your service and i love the channel!

Thanks for the Ride

Those front lights almost make it look like an air plane 😂

Awesome video man! love the powercall 👍🙏

i havent slept in like 2 days and that spinning thing plus the sound is tripping me the fuck out

It's not the drive there thats long, it's the drive back to the house. Where my department covers is a large portion of a county, over half actually, and to get most places it's a run like this. Great video. Lots of good driving here too.

Man, I forget how far away the help is sometimes when my town has three fully staffed FD's, no one station is more than five miles from my house. The nearest is a quarter mile away. Anyway, much respect to you guys, especially the volunteers, nobody knows when we'll need you!

I'm amazed how traffic on both sides of the road stop so you have plenty of room. In Australia most driver ignore emergency vehicles no matter what directing on they are travelling. Even when they right behind a car the driver thinks it's his road go around. It disgusting how they drive.

Some people in these comments are critical of the speed of the rig.. but from what I saw the driver did not maintain a constant 70mph... he checked each intersection and direction change before speeding up.. nothing wrong with his superb handling of the rig.

Sucks when we get calls at the opposite end of our Township. Super long response times like this. They're usually car or ORV accidents out in the boonies that give us those super long response times.

David, I hear you you'd think when a person in a small car sees a huge ass fire truck coming at them at 60 or 80 MPH they'd move out of the way right?

I don’t know where this taking place but I do know that people move or stop for the fire truck and that’s something drivers is Tulsa don’t do. God driving guys.

Cool Ride along Mate!

I saw the title for the video not realizing that this was the recent bus crash until I heard the Lancaster county radio

Wow, what a long ride!! Great driving too!

Whenever I hear sirens, I’m immediately pulling over even if it’s in the other side. Because seconds matter and if I can help them get there safer and faster, then I will

Love the powercall siren

Great ride along .fuck in flying here .. screaming sirens get out of the bloody way ... very very clean windscreen as well .

These response videos from different areas of the US are interesting. Beautiful countryside in that area.

That was a long response drive! Wow! well done

That spinning light thing looks amazing.

Awesome response. I just hope the kids are ok.

Awesome video rides I enjoy watching this rescue truck haul at high speed

Woo wee he was flying! Hell yeah!!

Professional driving at it's best!

What kind of sirens are they? Australian fire trucks have different ones.

nice clear video, enjoyed thoroughly,

How many miles did u guys cover?

I loved a siren's and that is a great siren of a Q with power call sirens running together its perfectly safe for to warned traffic out of the way of a response fire engine that's awesome dude.👍😎😀

It's not the destination, it's the journey.

Those sirens are manual?? or they have both automatic? I notice sometimes its off when low/no traffic and when traffic or intersection come it turns on.

FireRescue 50 what was that spinning chrome thing on the bottom left?

Flying along compared to cities and on the interstates.

Sounds like star wars when he passes vehicles with his siren on.

Apparently this was a hit and run accident. Apparently the escort vehicle for that wide load truck was also involved in the accident.

Damn....i hope if i ever need the fire department. ..that they drive like this....epic!!!!

Did everyone survive the accident? I hope they throw the book at the guy that caused it! Not only do you cause a school bus to crash, you then decide to run from the scene and leave injured kids that could have needed immediate help!

Great video.

Smooth ride, super clear video...hope all in accident was ok.

what's the thing spinning?

Oh look! A fidget spinner!

We need a speed check on that rotary

was there a problem with the rescue truck I heard the beeping alarm and talk of oil pressure and water temperature.

LOL when that siren screams at full power people actually pull over.. wow.. LOL

Felt like the video was blinking at the end lol

What state is this

What's up with the spinning light? I come from a rural area where most of the trucks are 10+ years old. Never seen them around here.

VERY NICE RUN!

Good run Did you ever figure out what the engine was screaming about?

Love watch videos you guys have best country side views

Not really a bad response time. I know of a district with 126 sq miles and one station, takes 25-30min to get to one part of the district. Add to that getting members to the station and it could be 35min to get there from the time you call.

They risk their safety for ours

Where was this?? A beautiful place. Tragic

I always preffered walking to school, even it was 20 below

The title did say responding to, and that's all we seen...

This was a Hit & Run and they got away, two kids got messed up bad.

What helicopter?

Woulda had you guys beat distance wise if we didn't get recalled. I was so confused because the pager woke me up and all I could make out was Rescue 23 and East Lampeter Twp. I was like County must mean East Hempfield Twp. Wasn't till I looked at my phone and was like oh this isn't good.

Awesome 👍 video!

How far from the station

Got love pierce heavy rescue

Is that not one of the fastest engines ya ever saw? And the acceleration!!!

We're is this at? What state

Fantastic streets!

LET THAT Q2B SCREAM!!

So what was that all about?

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SIREN IN THE FIRST PART OF THE VIDEO??

how many people died or got hurt

I remember once i was in a car accident

I come back after 5 years and people are arguing over the fact someone said HIPPA and not HIPAA

What exactly is the spinny thingy for is it like the old sirens that worked on wind and the faster you drive the higher it goes?

Nice one! Station 53 will never run a call like that.

Lol. While speeding down the road with flashing lights and sirens, responding to an overturned schoolbus another schoolbus deems it acceptable to pull out in front of them. Crazy! Where was this at?

You guys were moving on some VERY HIGH speeds!

Wild ride! But, sweet Jesus! Were you in a different state? I will forever be a city girl!

is that another station at 3 minutes?

He-l of a place to have an accident..

Rotoray and Powercall go together like peanut butter and jelly

What's the top speed these trucks reach?
