I know it may come off as strange, but hearing the sirens and horns from a rig is the absolute best thing to me. I know it means someone is in trouble and what not, but just hearing them from a distance as they close in...sends chills down my spine.
I live right across the street from a station, and hearing the sirens wind up and start blaring is so amazing to hear. If I could get that sound as a ringtone or alarm I'd be a happy man.
its a natural response that most have including myself... Thats the sole reason these kind of videos are posted for people like us.. who else would want to see a video of a truck driving?
It always amazes me, that when a BIG Fire Truck is coming along the road, with horns and siren blaring, drivers still drive straight through the intersection. Les
I got sideswiped on my motorcycle by another motorcycle when I stopped for a fire truck pulling out of a station. The other motorcycle was completely unaware the fire truck was there when he asked me why I stopped at a green light.
I live in Canada, people always pull over for any emergency vehicle. It will be like 2 blocks away and people on both sides of the road will pull over and stop
Sage Watson I was changing a tire on the side of the road in Osborne village in wpg and the ambulance was coming down the same lane of traffic and then it just went into the opposite lane of traffic cause there was no cars
Don't ever do that. I been called witness after a guy "aware of his surroundings" drove to the side and got t boned by someone who wasn't. Always put YOUR safety first.
It makes me cringe when I watch these awesome videos and see all the non-yielding morons. Makes me wish I could scratch a citation to every one of them. When I see a fire rig or ambulance rolling code, if I am at an intersection, I will hit the overheads and hold the intersection for them (especially if they are busting a red in their direction), and if I am on the roll, I will stop, then watch out for and stop the worst offender. Failure to yield and non-restrained children are my 2 biggest pet peeves. It's tough enough rolling code in a car. I can't even imagine how the Engineer must feel. Nothing but respect for those guys. Plus, they are going to be the ones who come to my aid if anything happens to me. Great driving! I have to stop ranting LoL. Stay safe out there.
Powercall, Q2B, and air horn, sounded really good on that truck. The hypercall (I think that's what it's called) in the beginning of the video, sounded really good too!
thanks for the ride along fire rescue 50🇺🇸 my hat goes off to yall and to all fire fighters, always first on scene and always last to leave🇺🇸👍 Thank You to all fire fighters who read this🇺🇸
Nice video brother rock on I was a fire explorer for 6 years I know what it's like, I love the sound of the q and horn it's the best thing u could hear
Love it, absolute beauty of a Q, thank y'all for all you do. Honestly I've never heard a truck out here without a Q, I don't think we even put actual electronic siren systems on apparatus, just a Q. Both of our medics have Carson EQs as well, they're glorious man, great usage on that horn also
What the absolute hell? FLASHING LIGHTS AND SIRENS MEAN YOU PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP. What don't these people get about that? They just keep on driving! People's LIVES could be at stake!
Mihaly Lukacs cause PA doesn’t have the strict penalties like here in NY. If you don’t pull over it’s a mega expensive ticket!! Speeding through a construction zone 2 times means your license is getting suspended.
Exactly who in the video isn’t pulling over you fucking goof? On coming traffic on the left hand side doesn’t have to pull over u til you learn about the road and first responding laws don’t make dumb comments like these
Drivers can't hear all the audio levels of a Q. Your at a disadvantage to hold the Q at the top end. The best way for all drivers to hear you is let sirens and air horn travel up and down the audible spectrum.
He isn't complaining. It's just advice. Quite often elderly people can't here the siren when the Q is held all the way up. They designed it that way for a reason.
It was inside the station. We test our sirens every month, but that month someone decided to test it by holding it down for awhile. Then they let off but it didn't stop!
Gonna end up burning that Q holding it like that. They aren't designed to be at peak for long periods of time. They also aren't as effective when held at peak because it becomes a solid tone that drivers are less responsive to. Otherwise, great response!
I'm from germany. how do you use the Q? is there a button or do you work it by foot? I always thought you can switch it on and off and it's working on automatic.
Does this truck have a problem with the TCM I couldn't help but notice they were on and off with the mode button and manually shifting the truck all the time are you pulling 10 bulldozers or what's going on?
1:10 funny seeing for the FD in the country they know how to use sirens. City they barely use any sirens because of noise. And theres more traffic in the city lol
Nothing has changed since the 1980's when I was on the job. 1 in 5 vehicles pull over unless you blast them when the horns. One of the rigs I used to engineer needed to be double clutched too. No automatic transmissions. I'm just curious how the officer in the video has a beard. Have they improved airpacks that much?
My (old) chief would have ripped me up one side and down the other for keeping my foot on the Q button. To each his own, but I don't think that is how a 'coaster' siren should be run.
Ladder 6 Photography no I absolutely know how to clear an intersection. But standing on the Q at full peak for a minute does absolutely no good. Siren usage for it to be effective needs pitch changes. Hence why all siren manufacturers have different tones to chose from.
You probably haven't run many calls if you think that lol my captain or CO tells me where to go my job is to watch for dumbasses that don't yield to my flashing lights and sirens and get my crew to the scene safely. 99% percent of the time we know where the call is but there are a million things going through your mind mistakes happen just like here pulling out of the bay.
dunno why, but every time i see one of these ride along firetruck response vids with the Q and the horn screamin away, Have a Nice Day by Bon Jovi starts playing in my head.

The Q siren and the power call the best sounds man has ever created
Fire station 43 Productions You got that right
FireRescue 50 where is tanker 60 located a heard conestoga in there. Is it in Lancaster county pa?
FireRescue 50 it is to my understanding that we operate in neighboring counties, I operate with Felton Fire company york pa
Fire station 43 Productions Ah yeah, we're not too terribly far
Southern York Emergency Response videos you got that right

Les Thiele I know, people just don't care anymore
They don't seem to think that fire truck could be going after someone they know, a friend or relative.

At 3:11 what a good person who actually is aware of his surroundings!
Yep, that guy knew exactly what to do.
Yes! But I was wondering, what is so important to the crossing traffic that they have to pass before the fire department...
Don't ever do that. I been called witness after a guy "aware of his surroundings" drove to the side and got t boned by someone who wasn't. Always put YOUR safety first.
that would be me driving. where we goin? as we are driving the opposite way.

Nope i love it
Mack Malnar Nope. The fed q is the exact reason I’m hear
Hell no
Not a chance, I love it as well
I love the
Q2b
There is nothing sexier than a REAL Q-siren! That's how you work it! Good job, gents! Keep er' rollin'!
I lived in gap for couple of years and ran with 42 never knew you tanker had the Q siren. Best siren out there in my eyes.
Bruh that toned up horn with the Powercall and Q is just 🤤🤤🤤

We just need to sit em all down in a chair and horn blast em about point blank for an hour. They'll either emerge deaf or having learned their lesson.
Give me a timestamp where someone dint yield and wasted 1 second of their time
@@putt7515 I mean. 1:14 guy zooms across the intersection to beat the truck.
1:54 no one stops
The list goes on
This has been perhaps my favorite response video from TH-cam for the past 5 years!
Powercall, Q2B, and air horn, sounded really good on that truck. The hypercall (I think that's what it's called) in the beginning of the video, sounded really good too!
Thats a nice ass firetruck. Like the cabin and everything looks so new and updated. I like it.
Best siren ever made!! Love the air horns!!

Sunshine_water Thank you!
Damn, that powercall is amazing, and the Q wow
Just LOVE blaring that Q & I just LOVE hearing it!
That was easily one of the greatest videos I've ever seen
Nice video brother rock on I was a fire explorer for 6 years I know what it's like, I love the sound of the q and horn it's the best thing u could hear
Brussel 48 Thank you! And yes, it is!
Their radio traffic is so clear!😭 those who work with a radio know that very seldomly are they this clear and easy to understand.
Love the Q & call siren, air horn & ringing the bell on those please don't come to my house lights and siren calls.
Love it, absolute beauty of a Q, thank y'all for all you do. Honestly I've never heard a truck out here without a Q, I don't think we even put actual electronic siren systems on apparatus, just a Q. Both of our medics have Carson EQs as well, they're glorious man, great usage on that horn also
2:48 clearing that intersection was everything I could have hoped it to be, and them some
Props to that Chevy Tahoe at 3:09 for seeing a tanker coming and knowing to get the hell outta that lane!
Couldn't ask for a better enterance.
Couldnt agree more. That was deeecent. Music to my ears.
also set up perfect block on the next lane so no one could try to out run the tanker or cause blocks
I love screaming q and love it when they lay on the q
looks like a nice place to live and nice countryside as well
does this thing have a Nathan K5LA horn on it?
This is the most intense ride along video I’ve seen so far, Fantastic work camera man!
Thank you for your Elite services
Q+POWERCALL+ Air horn = One AWESOME video! Stay safe out there!
That federal q sure gets up there
I love the powercall siren.
Ahhhhhhh music to my ears. Always enjoy your videos keep them coming
PA Fire Buffer Thank you!
im such a kid that little toot-toot at the Ambulance 4:10 was so cute 😋
Wtf 💀..
Nice intersection clearing very nice
Tops off to the Engineer and the Captain or whoever is in the Passenger seat good driving skills and siren and horn skills
What the absolute hell?
FLASHING LIGHTS AND SIRENS MEAN YOU PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP.
What don't these people get about that? They just keep on driving! People's LIVES could be at stake!

@@PanicTheManic11 actually you do unless it’s on the expressway. In two-way roads both traffic should and must pull over to the side
Sounds like noise to some, but if you’re hurt or trapped, it sounds like music and a relief to hear
Thanks for the video me and my grandad enjoy watching the video in hospital the nurse looked at us weird lol
If you can't ear those siren's ! Then it's time to see a Otolaryngologist .
And no more driving
Sometimes you can outrun sirens and cant hear them
Zack Miller if youre moving at 300 meters per second which is super fast like really fucking fast yes
or turn down your music in the car
Jorge Manuel what’s that the ear doctor
Sounds like the siren chp utilize. love it!
Drivers can't hear all the audio levels of a Q. Your at a disadvantage to hold the Q at the top end. The best way for all drivers to hear you is let sirens and air horn travel up and down the audible spectrum.
Jon Doe Yeah, I'm aware of that. I just let the chief do what he wants to do and I don't question it.
FireRescue 50 This guy complains on our videos too. I wouldn't worry about it.
Tri-State Fire Not complaining just sharing experience from a 30 year career.
He isn't complaining. It's just advice. Quite often elderly people can't here the siren when the Q is held all the way up. They designed it that way for a reason.
Jon Doe very true but it sounds so fuckin good
wish the London Fire Engines sounded like these!
4:10 I’m not sure if this was intentional or not but I love the little toot toot for the ambulance
it was haha
Love the respect fed w and air horns demand when hauling ass down a city street 💪 good drivin boys
This is music to my ears!!! Let that Q scream!! Btw, the PowerCall and horn sounds great on this Tanker.
That has to be fun going thru traffic with all that lights and sound
God I miss it, that is a rush no drug could offer!
I love screaming the Q as much as the next guy but DAMN don’t crack the thing😂
We got our Q stuck one time! They had to go under and cut wires to stop it.
It was inside the station. We test our sirens every month, but that month someone decided to test it by holding it down for awhile. Then they let off but it didn't stop!
Conestoga Fire 53 don't you guys have a Q siren brake switch?
Zach Novosad it didn't work
Conestoga Fire 53 ohh. Did you guys end up getting the Q fixed?
It's fixed now and it works great!
These men and women
Of the fire service
Are the true HEROES
WILLING TO ENTER BURNING BUILDINGS
Gonna end up burning that Q holding it like that. They aren't designed to be at peak for long periods of time. They also aren't as effective when held at peak because it becomes a solid tone that drivers are less responsive to. Otherwise, great response!
I agree but I guess it’s tax dollars at work replacing needed well used equipment.
I'm from germany. how do you use the Q? is there a button or do you work it by foot? I always thought you can switch it on and off and it's working on automatic.
@@Ben-ht3hw Typically there's a foot pedal you wind it up with
@@Ben-ht3hw you use it by the foot-pedal inside the truck there is a pedal for the driver and other side of the truck like the airhorn pedal.
great siren action and airhorn
That diesel and jake brake are killing me!!
Department: "Why did you record this?"
Fireman: "For quality and training purposes."
Volunteers are dangerous. Seldom calm, cool.. emotions in check!
Volunteers are dangerous. Paid guys are arrogant
@@ryanschneider3324 Maybe where you are, but it just depends on your area
Ryan Schneider Volunteers do it for the passion of helping people, paid guys do it for the 20-60k a year for two calls.
Volunteers are non-paid professional firefighters. Paid FF’s are ignorant to that fact.
If I was driving everyone would know it’s me because I would just lay on the horn every intersection and have the sirens as loud as the can go
I like that sound wow.
Same here I love the q and air horn nothing better
always wanted to be a fireman this is the closest I get thanks from liberty ky
love the Q and that air horn. he'll yes
did 4:11 honked for aumbulnace.?
fire engine1205/trainfan 7037 h Yes
FireRescue 50 ok
@GradyL John 3:16 I'm not on utube
Wow this siren is insane. Our siren in Switzerland only makes bidubidubidu😂😂
Suppose to pull over and stop before the emergency get to you not right as it on your back bumper
what horn is that anyway? the whole setup is pretty awesome
Sounds like Rescue 2 in Brooklyn. That truck sounds like a demon
Coming down the road 🔥
Omg I love it 😍😍🤣🤣🤣 powercall Q Siren and that horn 😍😍😍 I wish whe had that in Germany
The horn setup on this Tanker is amazing. What are they? I need some for my build.
If I’m correct they are Hadley E-Tone 21 inch
Very good driving 👍
That's cool nice perspective!!
I like the federal q siren with the power call good combination
Does this truck have a problem with the TCM I couldn't help but notice they were on and off with the mode button and manually shifting the truck all the time are you pulling 10 bulldozers or what's going on?
1:10 funny seeing for the FD in the country they know how to use sirens. City they barely use any sirens because of noise. And theres more traffic in the city lol

Always liked hearing a power call

"screaming Q and horn!" na... more like "breaking the Q and horn!"
My (old) chief would have ripped me up one side and down the other for keeping my foot on the Q button. To each his own, but I don't think that is how a 'coaster' siren should be run.
This is why I love my job.
Someone’s got themselves a new horn 😂
Great job at the intersection 3:17
And all the other ones, but the one at 3:17 caught my attention
no air for the breaks i freakin love it
cool always wanted to see how it feels and ride in one
I like his style!
That lighted intersection at 3:00, get off the damn Q! Damn OIC killing the Q starting at 2:45!
Andrew You obviously don't know how to clear a intersection
Andrew You always make noise coming to a intersection. Q and horns nd powercall plus all the way.
Ladder 6 Photography no I absolutely know how to clear an intersection. But standing on the Q at full peak for a minute does absolutely no good. Siren usage for it to be effective needs pitch changes. Hence why all siren manufacturers have different tones to chose from.
Ladder 6 Photography, your probably just some kid who doesn't even work in the field anyway.
Where is this? Why is hardly anyone pulling over and stopping??
My dog howls at this.
Wow those stations are only 1.3 miles apart stations 60 and 50.
What brand air horns are those?
I'm all about a screaming Q, but jesus christ give it a break once in a while
FireDude513 agreed.
great footage. even from the back
Ant Modrow Thank you
Love the Q!!
Driver should know where your going before pulling out of bay.
You probably haven't run many calls if you think that lol my captain or CO tells me where to go my job is to watch for dumbasses that don't yield to my flashing lights and sirens and get my crew to the scene safely. 99% percent of the time we know where the call is but there are a million things going through your mind mistakes happen just like here pulling out of the bay.
