The guy driving the truck is beast at driving

Shout Out to that Tiller Driver having to deal with this traffic as well. Great job LACFD

I love how the rig roars when it brakes.

7:13 what a great guy. He’s trying to clear the traffic for you.

Funny how I see the station before we got all the new stuff. Being a cadet at this station is the greatest thing on earth. Full of excitement and adrenaline.

Imagine your house is burning down, and some idiot thinks he should run across the street instead of waiting, holding up the engine coming to save you....

Love the Jake Brake on that Caterpillar engine Sweetest sounding engine.

Lightforce is an engine & ladder that always respond together. There's a separate engine that responds by itself. It takes the bulk of the calls. Lightforce usually only responds if the "stand alone" engine is out, or a ladder is needed.

Fire truck blasting through LA, people stuck in an elevator, lights flashing, and security attendants be like "Hiiiii!"

I grew up in Hollywood and attended Hollywood High School (where 27’s made that right turn from Sunset Bl. onto Highland Av.) 27’s has always been a great house!

Great job keeping calm & patient at the wheel. Insane traffic & pedestrians! Thankfully seems most drivers were quick to maneuver out of the way. Stay safe! 🚒🇺🇸

Blimey that was a pretty damn awesome video! Loved that driving - and into oncoming heavy traffic! Great job by that person who stopped the traffic crossing just where 76 had crossed. Nicely filmed with that Engine passing and then your LightForce. And that was pretty hilarious watching firefighters go around in golf carts!

Love the Jake brakes

Give these guys credit!!!!

The computer showed the location being the philharmonic... I could have sworn there was a another station within a couple blocks of there near the civic center....

Hollywood is the busiest city ever!. I would love to work for LAFD.. looks like being driver is extremely fun thing.

Yes the training and certification is called EVOC - Emergency Vehicle Operator's Course. I am EVOC certified, and trust me, it's hard. They made you maneuver an emergency vehicle in ways that just seem unnatural haha. I am ambulance operation qual'd and I can tell you, driving at high rates of speed against oncoming traffic is a helluva rush!

3:28 is perfect California self-centered attitude. Pushing a BABY STROLLER in front of a Code 3 fire engine, because it's more important that they get their baby safely in front of the emergency vehicle than it is for the truck to get to the emergency.

When you here lights and sirens MOVE OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY

To all the women and men of the Fire Department thank you 🙏 for your service!

What...a...cluster...Hats off to those guys.

I'd say more than likely, all that traffic was leaving from Hollywood Bowl. That outdoor amphitheater holds just over 18,000 people hence all the cars and buses. That is a very difficult place to get away from after the concerts are over. Been there, done that.

Impressive driving through all of that traffic by the buses. Sucks to drive through Hollywood like that, especially down Vine -_-.

How many orange cones died on this run! Orange cone lives matter too😀🍀

I find it funny how the guy at 6:30 somehow ignores the fact the left wig-wag is flashing RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.

Loved that horn action at 3:18

It's got something to do with Task Forces as a whole. The staffed engine in the task force, in this case Engine 27, would pull right up to the fire with the truck. Then Engine 227, the second engine, would make the hydrant. I'm really sure on the whole thing but that's what I can gather.

Huge respect to these guys!

"oh lets push my baby stroller in front of this speeding truck with lights and sirens"

Love that engine brake

Think They Murdered a Few Cones lol :D

I don't know about LA but in San Diego they take a ladder for necessary tools carried on the ladder as well as extra manpower

that part was funny when he blew the horn at all those people​how were crossing the road

7:07. Well done sir. 👍👍

LAFD is the best. Period.

They seem a little nicer than NY... They would have kept the siren and horns blaring the entire time sitting in traffic lol.

yes Lafd basically goes to all calls code 3. unless told to respond non emergency

Fucks given = 0. Thanks, random guy, for helping direct traffic (7:08). I'm guessing the Hollywood Bowl let out?

4:22 Poor traffic cone, never knew what was happening.

6:00 is just insane.

Wow.. So glad to live in a rural area.

Props to the tiller operator! Holy shit that was quite the traffic jam.

Eins der besten und interessantesten Videos von dir.... Weiter so!!!

Great video!

wow that is a nice looking ride on ladder 27 and i like the siren

This film is brought to you in memory of all those cones who made the ultimate sacrifice 😂

Truck 27....puts the hood ornament on the centre yellow line ! Exactly what I do ! They'll move, no worries brother !!! That engine is my second favorite body structure built. The only one I like better, is the one with the open back jumpseats. Two of them. A few minor issues : hot in the summer, transmission in center of partner and I. Nighttime runs, red emergency lights in your face if you're standing up facing forward. If it's raining, you're soaked. Snowing, you're a snowman ! All in all, I like it. Today's style, terrible. Sure. More functional. More room. I also like the seats facing where I came from, not where I'm going :-) Then there's the bay doors, lol. Auto, yes please ! One guy closes then hops on rig, no thanks !! One night, new kid, door kept opening, I forgot About the sensor, lol. I had to learn fast ! Learn how to get SCBA on alot fastr than I was.

@westlyr2003 Hollywood isn't a city. It's part of the city of Los Angeles. It's the "entertainment" district of L.A., tho it does have an "Honorary mayor"!

I noticed a lot of the interior view the truckk was going up and down..is that my imagination or is that the orad or the shocks

@theatomicfart1001 The funniest one is the Mom at 3:27 running across with her stroller. She really could have waited, but then i wouldn't have anything to comment on.

whoa This was my response area so I would have had this call if I was on duty this day

U have to be nuts to drive a massive tiller through that traffic. Good job getting through it

Got to love The Temper Trap playing in the engine bay haha good taste in music them LA firefighters.

good work,your the man :-))

Magnificent

Oh ok thats cool that they display their safety ratings like that thanks for the info

Good on ya guys, Tough callouts but you handled it perfectly, Not pushy at all... Just the way it should be.

@Brainscrewer It's a headset similar to the ones helicopter pilots wear. Everyone on the apparatus wears one. It reduces the sound of the siren and allows for hands free use of the radio.

They do it called EVOC(or along those lines) they use similar trucks and simulators.

WOW, what in the world was up with all of the busses lined up one behind each other?

I dont know how this works but after the person becomes a official member of the LAFD, do they have to take some kind of a driving test probably using these excact engines so that they can be the one who gets behind the wheel of the engine, if so, I must say I bet thats one of the hardest behind the wheel tests that there is, this kind of driving, driving the wrong way in VERY heavy traffic is one of the hardest things to do.....

the worst thing that could have happend to that guy who started directing traffic was if he vehicle all of a sudden got Stollen while he was helping the truck get through the traffic, this IS Los Angeles you know...LOL

@EDBudweiser Think it's Sweet Disposition by the Temper Trap

I like how they hook up those exaust tubes to the engine's exaust pipe(s) so when they start them up all of it goes straight outside of the building. but the one I keep on forgetting and I do apoligize for asking again but since I am seeing those 2 fans in the window are there, does that mean that these engines don't come equiped with factory air conditioning? Great video. Thanks

@anercy1 Light Force 27 is from Station 27, which has Task Force 27, Rescue 27, and Rescue 827. (I didn't name the LF/TF units, for obvious reasons) and maybe a vehicle or two I missed

I wonder why does the LAFD call their ladder trucks "Lightforces" can somebody explain that to me please

Nice job

Oh,man that was cool ride🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️🤗

The light force 27 says BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE ENGINE 227 HAHAHA HAHAHA

@utryckninguppsala all the videos uploaded here are made by myself in order to comply with youtube copyright rules. so if you send me something i won't publish it here. however people can upload their stuff directly on rescue911.de with their own account.

that traffic....wow!

Gotta love LA! :P

Do you shoot all the videos on this channel by yourself? Or can people send you their material? Nice video btw!

What a fucking horrible job to drive in that town with that vehicle. Dont get me wrong but id get so angry that there is just no space and youd land up somwhere where the traffic just cant get anywhere

Person in that SUV might just be smart enough to win the Darwin award one day.

3:19 shave and a haircut oh air horn

Shout out to Temper Trap Sweet Disposition (:

What siren do they use here? I have been searching for it but cant find it.

Awesome!

do LAFD always go code 3 with a light force for a stuck elevator ? or was there something special ?

looks like they were in a bit of trouble

@eveningniteshade That's called the "Jake Brake", think of it as an engine brake, that stops the engine from providing power to the axles, then in turn the truck's mass stops it, ImRatherTall has the idea nailed

that sucks especially when emergency vehicles have to get around they blocking the street

cool video

0:45 Sweet Disposition!

I can't park my car in a straight line at the grocery store. Let alone this!

F for the man who tried to make way for the firefighters

sitting in the backseat here now I know what is like to ride in a firetruck lol

7:20 props to the guy getting out of his car to help get traffic out of the way.

2019 anyone?

@billyfrmhill As far as I know, I think 27 has Task Force 27 (T27, E27, E227), Rescue 27 (The older model E series ambulance), Rescue 227 (Newer model E-series, not in video)

What type of event was going on Holly hell that is a lot of traffic

Damn that traffic is crazy lmaoo but wonderful job done to the firefighters! In my city here in CA we don't necessarily have a problem getting through traffic to stop for EMS. I also dislike those people who never stop for EMS personnel it is so rude. My city doesn't have a lot of police which sucks. We have a population of 44k people with one PD station and about less than 15 police probably.

Reminds me of Gage running to turn off the tv when they got a call

guy at 7:02 thought the rig slammed into all of those cars

So can you give any details as to what the call was about and what all happened

UGH! you guys got stuck in Hollywood Bowl traffic.

Fairfax County doesnt respond priority 1 to a stuck elevator unless someone is panicing or medical emergency.

just look for the video of engine 27 responding to a medical call near hollywood bvd

Anyone know what is this siren, not the EQ2B but the wail one
