Buchann,Va and Rockbridge Co. is a rural area . Gasco (Va.)Fire Dept. has a Tiller Fire Truck. Wow thats good, I thought only large dept. have them. Good mutual response by all.
Used to run with Lexington when I was in college, back when it was volunteer. Brings back memories of running calls on 81 near there. Thanks for your service and for posting.
Yeah. ESPECIALLY on a super highway where the incident COULD BE right on that road. Whenever I see an emergency vehicle I attempt to pull over and come to a COMPLETE STOP as soon as I can. Of course I would also drive onto the sidewalk or very close to the ditch if it was necessary.
popeye1250 also it's a volunteer department, sometimes volunteer departments have large response areas but not enough funds for more stations and not enough personnel and apparatus
we cover 110 square miles here in southern illinois, 3 stations. But being volunteer, we have to get to the station first too. I live 5 miles from 1, 6 from another, but 13 from the last. so its 13 minutes regardless if the wreck or fire is by that station.
Whoever is running the Q needs to stop holding it at top speed. it is a siren, not a horn. Sirens are most effective when their sound goes up and down, most likely to get motorist attention. When it is held at top speed it becomes background noise, like the sound tires make on interstate pavement. Also, blaring the siren and horn on the interstate when everybody is in the other lane and going faster than you doesn't really seem necessary. As always I still enjoy these ride along videos but the Q and horn gets annoying after a while.
Come on dude. Starting at 6:33 that truck driver is a total dick going into the left lane while the engine approaches. How else were they supposed to get them to get the fuck out the left lane?
I know I’m not the only one who loved how everyone split to the sides
12:55 It was like Moses parting the seas! That was awesome!
"The passenger was flown via medevac for precautionary reasons." Ouch, that's gotta hurt -- when he gets the bill!!

Beautiful Footage
Love the Cue and Horn always a wonderful tune to our ears...
Amen Brother
Much as some of these comments would point out otherwise, the law is, slow down, pull over - not keep going in the other lane.

I love these ride along videos
Nice Zipper!
12:55
13 minutes? there was no closer company?
12:50 Moses parted the red Sea!🤣🤣🤣
Question. Do you guys ever assist or get assistance from Eagle Rock vfd?
yes we sure do.
Yes we are neighboring stations!
Love the screaming Q & PC
How fast do the fire trucks go on the highway? With everyone else doing 80 or 90.
Cheezumz002 Everyone does it 70 MPH here
I like Fire truck because the fire truck very strong siren sounds and very fast, I am from Japan, sorry I just said,
why does the audio cut off sometimes
Probably because they're saying things about that truck driver that would even offend a salty, old sea dog.
I like the salty old sea dog answer more, personally. lol
Soft Shoulder?
With a 14 minute arrival time shouldn't you be building more stations?

I noticed a Tiller at the scene, ys it BVSD's? If so is there anyway to get some "ride along" videos from it?
Was it cold that day, or were you sweating like a rushing river?💦
Nice video! Keep them coming!
Blake Andruw hello man

I-81 Is a freakin' goldmine.
James C more like nightmare. Haha

Even on the interstate you need to pull over! It's the law!

Fun Fact: At 35 mph, you out run the sound of the siren.
Thomas Reinish wrong lol
I don't know where you got that from but the fact is that sound travels at 741 mph. Most fire trucks don't go that fast. LOL
Naw, u can only outrun the siren once u hit "ludicrous speed" & go into plaid while chasing down that pesky Winnabego w/wings! Lmao
Was ein Idiot mit dem weissen Auto bei 8:00. Der hätte einfach kurz vom Gas gehen müssen, dann hätte der LKW auf die rechte Spur wechseln können.
STOP HORN OMG
whos the bozo on the siren
Lorne Harmer idk but if I did that I'd never be aloud on it again 😂
lol
In N.C. if you're running priority one then the siren must be on...that's the law!
Ouch, ain't that nasty one. Brilliant Response though. I'd hate to be in that tailback though.
