I live around the corner from a fire station, last year they saved my life, as a combat vet next to my brothers in arms they are my heroes. Bless every single first responder .
I love these ride along videos, I don’t know how many channels of subbed to that do this it’s just so fascinating to watch fire trucks respond to calls, these kinda videos are like asmr for me
I am someone who always advocates and encourages drivers/operators to "know their equipment" referring to their vehicles with two of the biggest reasons being knowing what/how your vehicle operates, and its dimensions (we all know those ppl who aren't confident when it comes to parking at a retail store). That being said, one of the things I'm always constantly impressed by and love seeing is Engineers such as this guy who is fully confident AND comfortable both with what his Truck/Ladder could handle as well as the dimensions of it and how tight of a spacing he could squeeze through.
For everyone watching and appreciating this driver, the piece he is driving is a tiller which is like a tractor trailer that bends in the middle. There is a guy in the back who also steers (the opposite way) to make the turns, so you are watching a guy drive a tractor trailer through these awful streets (while eating a fudge pop which is what really makes the video)
As a volunteer with Pa company's 30 & 31 for 14 years, I enjoy watching Harrisburg Ladder truck respond through the City and not take out any vehicles. Good job to the driver's. Stay safe.
Great example of fast yet controlled. He drove quickly and dodged traffic, but in a controlled and deliberate way. He didn’t weave in and out of traffic, he was careful at intersections and slowed when he couldn’t see both ways from a distance, and he only drove on the left when it was necessary. Something a firefighter friend told me was that firemen don’t just run around like they do on TV. They work a lot slower in real life, but they also don’t make mistakes. Do it with pace, but do it with purpose he likes to say.
Literally. No fucking way they drive in opposing traffic here in Europe, they just go and people make way as fast as possible without endangering other vehicles. Total reckless movement by the driver.@@rachitron
@@maxizac7 If he would have went behind the traffic that was on the right side of the road, he'd have been stuck there for several minuties while peolle figured out how to get out of his way. People in the US do NOT respect EMS vehicles and sirens and lights. They slow down and move half a foot to the side, at best. Europeans have a much larger respect for EMS than we do here in the US. I do agree it was risky, however, the traffic was stopped, there were only 3 cars in the incoming lane, and there is no way they'd miss the sirens and lights in front of them. It wasn't that dangerous, in this particular situation. I've seen firetrucks do this before and they always do it as a last effort when that's the only way they can get to their location in time to help put the fire out/save a life. This wouldn't be an issue if people in the US MOVED OVER for EMS. Not a little, not a teeny tiny but, no, if they MOVED OVER! I have rode in a firetruck several times and the amount of times people stop in the middle of the road blocking us ,or ignore us entirely is insane. I really think that people who fail to move for EMS should be given massive fines and potentially a license revoked depending on the situation. But yeah, I'm not saying it's not dangerous, it is. But they are responding to a fire. The only thing they did that's not "normal" was the lane switch. Everything else was textbook, and the lane switch was too, but like I said, that's a last resort and he had to take it due to the traffic jam on the road he was already on. Trust me, they would have taken forever to move out of his way, I've seen it before, many a' times.
I use to drive one of these, on a Peterbilt frame. I don't miss how the gas pedal was so close to the brakes, where when you make a brake application and you hit the gas pedal by mistake, youre caught saying "#@$*&(#@" each time lol
I'm going to be 665 this summer and am still active as a driver for the local volunteer fire department. There is a certain thrill laying on the air horn or siren as we go rushing to a call!
Awesome!!! These are The finest Men and Women that we depend on.. during an emergency!! Kudos to the driver..he was only trying to get folks to where they needed to be!! Again.. Thank each and every person who takes up this challenge!
Where I live, a mainstreet snakes underneath a rail underpass wich extends about 75 feet, the middle of the road seperated by concrete. I saw a fire truck go right through the opposing traffic lane at full speed. WTF and it's dark in there.
I feel like riding in the fire truck looks like I'm actually riding. But, its in the stream. Even though, I can hear the q2b sirens while responding to the call
I like the bus driver at ~ 4:00 . They recognized the person in front of them was a fucking moron, got around them, and made sure they themselves weren't in the way by not stopping on that narrow ass street.
That was me after 7 pm Shorts!!! My job AS A DRIVER…. Is to get the truck to the call!!! I can dress out once I get there and set up my attack lines . Save two-Three minutes response time
i would love to see how this guy has been driving down side streets, i don't even drive that reckless when i was on a fire dept or my current job as a emt going to a cardiac arrest
The driver/ engineer is a boss! Gym shorts, fudge pop and one handed driving. Much respect!
Typical engineer
From a professional I expect to have two hands on the wheel.
if this was indeed an emergency, he's putting lives in jeopardy while sucking on a choc pop.
One handed driving is NOT cool. It is definitely unsafe.
@@LouisvanWijk100% agreed!
Driver is a pimp. Eatin ice cream, whipping the fire truck. He is living the dream!
Vv
Cc xghxxh he xc Chaz 😢
Vaca backs BA d😂
Xca a DVD bags have
That driver is a idiot not only did he litter he drove that truck poorly
iam a firefighter at the age of 60 and the feeling you get is something you can't explain. one hell of a rush even at my age ty
im starting my academy in june and ive been an cadet/volunteet i have a few questions, doing it straight out of highschool
Adrenaline?
people underestimate the amount of people that want to watch firefighters/police officers driving to locations.
Fr
i love following them. the feeling of running a red when you're tailing a firetruck is something else.
I live around the corner from a fire station, last year they saved my life, as a combat vet next to my brothers in arms they are my heroes. Bless every single first responder .
The driver knew his truck! Love that, amazing job!
Incredible driving and efficient siren and horn usage! Incredible video!
Dangerous irresponsible driving.
lifes are on the line show some respect to them @@richkuklinski8424
@richkuklinski8424 Hey if he's capable (he clearly is) then let him cook, he's a better driver than anyone else on that road
That was some very skilled driving!
Yes that was
@@Ryanb1998 And so nice to see Engineer has both hands on the wheel.
@@ronaldlynnjohnson7589How can you have both hands on the wheel when you’re eating a fudge pop With one 😂
Skilled? I'd say bordering on reckless.
@@firedude5135unless you or a family member are the victim

Care to drop any of those channel names so I too can follow?
This gives me a whole new perspective on how fast they can go and what it looks like inside. Like a rollar coaster ride.

Great work lads, you are appreciated for the service you give to the people. Keep up the great work as always.

Wherever this is, these other cars can't drive but firetruck driver is a beast.
It says Harrisburg City, so my guess is there 🤷♂️
I have the most respect for the men and women in the fire service!!
Dude is good
Using the road very well dodging traffic great horn action
Columbus ga just started outfitting Q 2 ‘s on trucks
Where do you have your camera mounted
I am watching from Elmira NY how bad was that fire?
Wheelin. Love the commentary.. That guy is a good wheelman!.
Nah. He won't have passed his exams driving 2nd ladder at that speed while sucking on a fudge pop and shouting, 'Get the f*** out of the way'.
Awesome driving. That engine has amazing acceleration
huge respect to all the firefighters around the world ♡

2:58 I feel ya bro lol "Come on, get the F out of the way!"
Going opposing traffic, dude? Really? Don't expect civvies to know what to do in that instance. Stay ignorant.
@@rachitron tell that to the apparent first class driver in this clip

chauffeur was ROLLIN!!! had the rig on 2 wheels!!!
Awesome capture, hopefully there was an update about the fire on how it started and hopefully everybody was OK and made it out
the most undermanned paid fire department in the world but will allways do their best thank you
Would have like to have seen some on scene video!
My favorite part 3:00 I know that feeling
Great video. Would’ve loved to see the tiller cam
I'd love a side-by-side
That would definitely rock. Id probably get dizzy watching it though@@corycollier
Excellent video
Wheelin. Love the commentary.
Nice driving!!

How fast were you goin? I love this!
60 mph or 70 probobly
They have a governor on them aswell so they cant go as fast
Great Video! Class A Chauffeur!!! Reminded me of life in my younger days.....Jobs
I'm going to be 665 this summer and am still active as a driver for the local volunteer fire department. There is a certain thrill laying on the air horn or siren as we go rushing to a call!

That was very good driving love the ride alongs
Greetings, fellow firefighters from Croatia
Omg!!!! That siren sounds exactly like my Brother’s scream!
Great video, liked and shared 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒
3 on that truck?
wider angle than last vid. prett yinteresting. must be an intense job. thanks for doing it
ive seen vids from denmark or holland maybe, but this may be the first ime seeing a us channel
Love the Q & PC
Same content here! I'm also a firetruck driver/fireman from Philippines. Is that automatic transmission sir?
Legend has it that the driver still wears his t shirt and shorts to go fight fires and drive his bad ass truck. Much respect right there brother ❤
How fast were you going there?
Hell of a job Wheelman!
Does the rear axle turn? It seems to turn on a dime.
Those drivers save our lives and I love em. Awesome stuff 👍😎
Rumor has it they are still en route
spine-chilling adrenaline
Driving in opposite lane to avoid traffic some very tight streets a little nerve racking for any chauffeur,a fine job gentleman.👍🚒
Where I live, a mainstreet snakes underneath a rail underpass wich extends about 75 feet, the middle of the road seperated by concrete.
I saw a fire truck go right through the opposing traffic lane at full speed. WTF and it's dark in there.
Love the seatbelt use!!
What
tf?? he clearly put his seatbelt on at the start
Good drive
How many miles could you hear that siren? Might just use it for my own Search and Rescue Company. :)
that sound has no direction. from far away it could be coming from anywhere
I feel like riding in the fire truck looks like I'm actually riding. But, its in the stream. Even though, I can hear the q2b sirens while responding to the call
what is that thing mounted on the middle of the dash with te blue ligth mounted? Thanks
A Knox box. It’s what securely holds a key to businesses and commercial buildings. It’s unlocked by dispatch via tones.
Knox emergency key box retention device
thanks for the response@@TheVideoArsenal
thanks@@BC41B
Would you happen to know a firefighter by the name of Kevin Doud? He’s retired from Harrisburg
Omg this sounds feels like war is coming and this truck is really powerful wow so fast
That guy is a good wheelman!
This guy is an idiot for driving with one hand. Totally unsafe.
whats that spinning thing in the center?
It is a Roto-Ray, used in case drivers dont hear the loud a$$ siren comin up from behind them.
This is so cool ❤
Imagine if there is police then said PULL OVER then fine them for speeding.
Ya boi was whipping that truck like a pro
I like the bus driver at ~ 4:00 . They recognized the person in front of them was a fucking moron, got around them, and made sure they themselves weren't in the way by not stopping on that narrow ass street.
Just flyin'...incredible. Driver must have ice water running through his veins.
Are the three light-like things spinning around in the front grill the lights? What is it used for? please tell me
It’s called a roto ray light

日本から見ております。凄い臨場感があり

Damn. He driving the shit out of that engine. I thought it was gonna flip. 😂
This is actually a tractor drawn ladder truck (tiller)
Me on my way to bed - clicking this clip... Jupp - guess bed time is another hour away.
Was there 12 years
We are moving the grid over copy that standby for an update over.
2:55 I have seen several fire truck drivers as aggressive or rude as this with the other drivers in the United States.
Are you shifting me with this video ? Ever saw a house on fire.
tHIS IS CRAZY, EATING ICECREAM WHILE RESPONDING TO AN EMERGENCY, WAOHHHHH
Lol....love these vids...
Damn. Them ol' boys had a hellofa long ride to get to the fire.
Super cool !
That was me after 7 pm
Shorts!!!
My job AS A DRIVER…. Is to get the truck to the call!!!
I can dress out once I get there and set up my attack lines .
Save two-Three minutes response time
SHOUT OUT TO ALL BFF AND DRMMO IN HERE PHILIPPINES TAKE CARE ALWAYS AND GODBLESS YOU ALL IM NEW SUBCRIBER IN HERE MANILA
Damn, does anyone react to a firetruck in this town? Just stops in the middle of the road.
Ladder 2 you are booking it awesome Job!
Rumor has it, they are still driving to the fire.
i would love to see how this guy has been driving down side streets, i don't even drive that reckless when i was on a fire dept or my current job as a emt going to a cardiac arrest
Ngl. My booty hole tensed up a little when he went into oncoming traffic lol. Nice work though
I thought that a string that is there is the horn, where is the horn?
There is also a foot pedal
You plan on uploading anymore helmet cam footage??
Who is controlling the siren and horn?? Doesn’t look like either of the guys up front are.
How is he controlling the Q and the horn? And is the officer's radio disconnected hanging there?
They have pedals on the officer side that controls the air horn and the federal Q. Sometimes, the engineer also has the pedals.
Driver: screw it I'm bringing the fudge pop
all i got from this is that it's stressful af to drive a fire truck :D
Only a truckie would be eating an ice cream bar while wheeling... 🤣😂🤣😂
I love these trucks sirens 🚨 weee o wee o wee o
Awesome video!
God bless all firefighters.
