Iam pretty sure it was the 1st trucks fault to stop to early and the second truck was not prepared for it. And yes, i know the 2nd vehicle is always responsible.
The more erratic you drive the less questions people ask you. "Are we there yet" gets replaced with "AAAAHHHH". Or maybe I just like hearing people scream...
Best fire response I've ever seen they were there in like 32 seconds, And even popped a side wheelie to boot.. Bet they had that fire out in a few seconds..
Man I went to NY last year for a holiday and I seriously want to join the FDNY after seeing you guys at work. Unfortunatly, I live in Australia and getting hold of a US citizenship is like getting hold of the holy grail.
The driver handled it great, he/she had full control and didn't miss a beat 👏👏👍👍 Great driving to both of them, hats off great job getting there quickly and taking care of business 😎👍
I have a load of friends in the QFRS (Southeastern Region) and yes I have a scanner listening to them 24/7 and no doubt the call over the radio would've sound something like structure fire possible entrapments. That scares firefighters when they hear that. Good to see someone else sticking up for the drivers.
I did something like that once we were responding to a fire on a dirt road and I was coming up onto a sharp corner and admittedly i could of slowed down a bit but i took the corner pretty fast and this truck wasn't a fire truck it was an emergency response vehicle( a top heavy box truck with lights and sirens) and I drifted the corner I amazed myself when I stopped it from going in the ditch. then I noticed behind me was the chiefs car..........just guess how that turned out lol
@MrBlemph I bet at 86 years you must have seen some scary shit when responding such as a horse throwing a shoe, or slipping over on 2 legs instead of 4. And those brass helemts, blah, blah, blah. I too used to walk to school in shorts, in the snow with no shoes!
Would have been cool if the driver stepped out of the truck and the camera man rushed over for comment "I'd like to thank Bridgestone for our tires, Sunoco for our fuel, and the fire company for providing us with such a fast truck today" you know... NASCAR style (sorry.. yes. an American here) GREAT VIDEO!!
@@superpinbang694 That's true. I went to a training seminar when I was with my 2nd department and the instructor made a point to cover "safe driving enroute to a call."
Precisely why at age 22 you speak as many do with such limited experience regarding the 'Exciting Rush' of driving big bad rig Code 3. These videos are excellent illustrations of a small cross section of the countless CLose Calls that occur literally everyday by novices [I was once there too] who often learn the hard way. After 22 years of experience, you understand why the old timers shook their heads 'til the lessons were finally mastered.
Illinois City, IL. Zip is 61259 and it's in Rock Island County. We manly had the issue in the old pumper truck. It was an early '70s engine. Any corner taken above 25mph had he tipping pretty good. The problem was reduced with the brand new one we bought from Alexis. The biggest thing is that we are dealing with rural roads that more wide open. Nearly every corner you come up to you will see water on the pavement that spilled out of the tanks. It also depends on the drivers too.
Im a volunteer in a rural fire briagde in ripley valley, queensland. As one of the leading rural briagdes in the ipswich area, the first & foremost thing that we have always been taught is safety first. There is no excuse for something like this happening, the public will always be curious so it is our job as either rurals or urbans to make sure that they are safe, which in this case means slow down & beware of all surroundings. The fire isnt going anywhere, Firecom SE would kick ass for that.
that driver/operator knows exactly what they're doing! i agree it looks scary, but they had complete control of that vehicle-- I can guarantee you that!
The title should be like, how not to fire up a house/building. The first responders know how to do their jobs, it is the onlookers that create all the drama.
When the water shifts in the tanker, it can catch you off guard. My uncle hated hauling liquid and refused to haul steel rails, pipes and rebar; in a quick stop or accident, they can come right through the cab like a spear.
@Penndemic +1 If you watch the video again, you'll see that the driver of the second vehicle probably expected the first one to pull up farther, because he was basically performing the exact same turn as the first vehicle. When the first vehicle stopped, the second one had to swerve at the last second to stop from rear ending the first engine. Their drivers need to be in better sync. However, from the video, I can't tell if its the first or second drivers fault.
Can't fault the firefighters urgency in getting to the incident...but they were lucky not to roll into either the crowd or the other appliance. All hail the mighty firefighter!!!
Had that happen to me, not in a fire truck but in a unevenly loaded box truck and I wa doing probably half the speed of the firetruck. Made me panic and pucker a bit lol.
Holy Fuck I thought it was gonna be the first one that Stuffed up LOL.. And when I saw the 2nd one coming I actually thought It was gonna roll Hahah. But that was SICK! I beleive its Authentic as well.
In sweden there's a new drivinglicense for those who in their regular work drives cars/trucks using blue lights and sirens, this will hopefully keep those close calls down and learn the most valuable knowledge of them all, better to get there one minute late then never attend (doesn't mean you should take the route through the shopping mall and pick up that new pair of shoes you allways wanted, but you guys get the idea righ??)
@OxyMiracle, in Australia any emergency vehicle operating the correct warning devices (lights and sirens) can exceed the speed limit, proivided it is safe and expedient to do so. In this case, you'd have to argue though, that it wasn't safe.
A lot of people are saying the first truck stopped too quickly and the second truck didn't have enough time to react, but if that's the case, the second truck shouldn't have been following so closely.
And here in Oz (Where this was filmed) in court that argument would have fallen over and failed. It's the responsibility of the second truck driver to drive in such a way and maintain a safe distance so as not to ever get in an accident situation
it was the first truck that stopped in a blind sopt and the second truck turning in didn't expect the first truck to be stopped there so he quickly swerved and that made the truck 'tilt'
@TheHornylittledevil- Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. The flame is the visible portion of the fire and consists of glowing hot gases. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity might vary. Fire in its most common form can result in conflagration, which has the potential to cause physical damage through burning.
I am a volunteer firefighter in a rural town, and we still get people like this, Please coul people not drive out to a fire, or stand in the road, It slows us down getting there. We need all the time we can get. Especially if there is someone in the building/car whatever.
A) The Ladder Engineer was following far too close, that could have been a major crash. B) To all of those Truckies out there who think the ladder apparatus should be directly in front of any fire, It's a single story, fully involved structure. All there is to do now is surround and drown, which is what we Engine crews do best
13 years as a first responder and a further 8 years as a civillian instructor/trainer, and unfortunately a stern talking to doesn't cut it. If he saved my mothers life, then great. If he killed my child who was attracted to the flames and the sirens, then I'd personnaly hunt him/her down and throw everything I can at them and the service. Prevention, prevention, prevention is the key message...
You see, this is where discretion comes in. If we responded at the speed limit all of the time, there would be nothing left by the time we got there. You drive a bit faster, but you don't take dumb risks.Risk a little to save a little, risk a lot to save a lot, risk nothing to save nothing. Regardless if the incident was right on the corner, they took the turn way too fast. It is stuff like this that is bad driving, and gets people killed.
Driver of Truck: Hell there it is! Assistant: Take it easy on the curve! Driver of Truck: Hell no, we're almost there! Assistant: OH MY HOLY CRAP!!! Driver of Truck: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Actually, if you watch this video a couple of times, you'll notice that the second truck is not moving any faster than the first one it was following. He does need stiffer suspension on that truck, though!
Career or Volunteer dept this is why so many of us get wiped out on duty... pulling up on scene like it's the first call we've turned out... BOTH trucks came in way too hot.

We killed four pedestrians, but at least we saved the garage. What's that? We lost the garage?

No no no that's how you drive when Chiefs house is on fire.
That's the ONLY time you will see them hustle unless they are small town volunteers.
Or when the house belonging to the Chiefs girlfriend, who hasn't found out about the Chiefs wife, is on fire.
Lol true

Agreed
Aussies know how it's done. Our friends Down Under are showing us up!
I'd be willing to bet the tank wasn't full and the water shifted when he went around the corner.
Jimmy Carter what water? It was a truck
Steve Odessa - The water that the truck probably had in a water tank...
It's a fire truck.
I like to give the benefit of the doubt as well but I think he was a stupid fucker
@@djstevieo that was a pumper they hold 1200 gallons or better
He did a hell of a job NOT hitting the other truck and NOT flipping it over. Great driver.
He got lucky. Really, really lucky. Had he actually been a "great driver", he wouldn't have been in that position to begin with.
Yes and no.
Iam pretty sure it was the 1st trucks fault to stop to early and the second truck was not prepared for it. And yes, i know the 2nd vehicle is always responsible.
This looks like pretty good driving to me. most people would have rolled that truck.
I'd rename the vid "How TO drive a firetruck" ;D
The more erratic you drive the less questions people ask you. "Are we there yet" gets replaced with
"AAAAHHHH".
Or maybe I just like hearing people scream...
😀😀
Imagine the " are we there yet ? " on travelling 30 months to Mars...
😬🚀🛸🪂
works great if someone is riding your bumper too lol
Best fire response I've ever seen they were there in like 32 seconds, And even popped a side wheelie to boot.. Bet they had that fire out in a few seconds..
There’s a saying in the south , “coming in on two”. Thats the first time I’ve ever seen it.
"Last one on scene buys the ice-cream"
Nahhh, Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner for the next 48🤣
Actually with the weight of the water shifting in that turn, that was pretty good driving.
They shouldn't have been driving that fast to worry about the water shifting that much
My thoughts exactly! Training video for new chauffeurs. If you want to get to the fire fast MAKE SURE YOUR ON 3 WHEELS!
I'd say they were "enthusiastic." Good job!
Bruce took the corner a little too fast but at least he didn't roll. Probably should slow it down but he managed not to crash.
I'd say he didn't plan on the other truck stopping right there in front of him
You know when they roll up like that they hadn't had a fire in awhile lol.
Man I went to NY last year for a holiday and I seriously want to join the FDNY after seeing you guys at work. Unfortunatly, I live in Australia and getting hold of a US citizenship is like getting hold of the holy grail.

The driver handled it great, he/she had full control and didn't miss a beat
👏👏👍👍 Great driving to both of them, hats off great job getting there quickly and taking care of business 😎👍
It was a Freightliner, that's 90% of the problem LOL
Hey now, my pumper resembles that remark.
"were taking an offensive strategy on this one"
I have a load of friends in the QFRS (Southeastern Region) and yes I have a scanner listening to them 24/7 and no doubt the call over the radio would've sound something like structure fire possible entrapments. That scares firefighters when they hear that.
Good to see someone else sticking up for the drivers.
Good job, he successfully avoided a catastrophic collision with his own team truck. Good skill and abilities.
Hah, I drove the firetruck in GTA III all the time like that!
Lot to be said for cautious speeds, following distance, and the other factors we learned in school in driver education.
They were really keen to get this fire out! Must have been a slow week!
As a firefighter/paramedic, this made my heart skip a beat.
I did something like that once we were responding to a fire on a dirt road and I was coming up onto a sharp corner and admittedly i could of slowed down a bit but i took the corner pretty fast and this truck wasn't a fire truck it was an emergency response vehicle( a top heavy box truck with lights and sirens) and I drifted the corner I amazed myself when I stopped it from going in the ditch. then I noticed behind me was the chiefs car..........just guess how that turned out lol
Not sure how that's funny
@@austindenotter19 get a life then
@MrBlemph I bet at 86 years you must have seen some scary shit when responding such as a horse throwing a shoe, or slipping over on 2 legs instead of 4. And those brass helemts, blah, blah, blah.
I too used to walk to school in shorts, in the snow with no shoes!
But was it up hill both ways?
The title should read: How to park a fire truck with style!
Kudos to the driver!
Would have been cool if the driver stepped out of the truck and the camera man rushed over for comment "I'd like to thank Bridgestone for our tires, Sunoco for our fuel, and the fire company for providing us with such a fast truck today" you know... NASCAR style (sorry.. yes. an American here) GREAT VIDEO!!
"damn!" lmao
If I was in that house, or my family, you bet I want them there ASAP. Good Job!!!!
Can’t put out a fire if the trucks rolled over in the neighbors yard

Well done, the driver new what he was doing, obviously the movement of the water caught him out a bit but had total control.
No that's how you drive a firetruck. Every second counts.
Until you get into an accident and now it doesn’t matter how many seconds you saved.
Irresponsible driver, he needs to go back to being a grunt and never be allowed to drive again.
Both of them, on the truck and on the (assuming) engine
Fireman01 way too fast into a pedestrian filled space, both of em, the one that lifted the wheel didn't expect the other one to stop where it did!

lol that was cool as hell.
that takes serious skill to keep it under control like he did.
Ah, we're just in time.
that driver/operator knows exactly what they're doing! i agree it looks scary, but they had complete control of that vehicle-- I can guarantee you that!
I can just picture Arnie stepping out of that firetruck saying to the guy in the other firetruck "Did you see me there up on two wheels" (from Twins)
Gosh, I haven't seen this video in about as long as it's been uploaded. WOW.
BEAST! that driver deserves a pay upgrade or w.e haha

lmao the funniest thing i've seen all day. 5 stars.
Remember when we had "star" ratings on videos? Those were the days.
Now if we can just get the cops to show the same level of enthusiasm when responding to calls it will be a better world.

He does need stiffer suspension on that truck, though!

yes well that would explain it.. but remember he is only 16 and that would be why he finds it so interetsting.
