Where I'm at in NC we can only run lights and it's only courtesy. Can't run red lights, can't pass traffic, can't run a siren. This is way more effective
City of reading fd has a fully paid staff. 5 engines 3 ladders and a rescue truck. Each piece is staffed with 1 firefighter and an apparatus driver. This is Pennsylvania
Ha ha. That was the alert on the cencom gold to let me know the emergency lights were on. Thats when I had a light bar on the truck with traffic adviser functions.
Moved to new jersey from Pa, Jersey is blue lights only for firefighters with the exception of the Chief and the second in command either Deputy or Asst Chief depending on your department they can run red lights and siren. In Pennsylvania its the same as new jersey. Only difference is in PA the Fire Police Captain and LT can run red lights and siren in jersey its all blue.. New jersey is in the stone age.

I do not understand why the northern and western states do not allow lights and sirens from first responders who have to travel a little ways to the station or scene. I also do not understand the blue lights. Down hear the Blue lights are for police only. Red lights for fire.
@POV-Response Different States, Different Laws. Different Politics. Up north, some PDs HATE FFs having ANY flashing light (let alone - OMG! a SIREN). Other PDs OK with it!
@@POV-Fire-Response I'm in Saskatchewan, Canada. We use reds and sirens for our Volunteer Firefighters POVS. Rank is irrelevant. Pulling over is legally required. Albert's has green courtesy lights, no siren. British Columbia has absolutely nothing. Manitoba has reds only, but they are still emergency vehicles. Ontario and Quebec are the same as Alberta. Idk about everyone else. That's it, as far as my knowledge goes.
If it takes Volunteers 11 minutes driving Code 3 in personal vehicles to get to the scene, its time the District/Department reevaluate the need of the community for additional stations and the need to staff stations with volunteers 24 hours per day. An Engine arriving on scene with only one or two firefighters is ineffective.
I have a question because im thinking about volunteering. What happend if you miss the truck leaving the station? Can you head to the scene with your vehicle? @POV-Response
Im a volunteer firefighter so ill give you an answer. Different stations have different policies. Best thing to do is take any questions to your local department to be answered. We dont meet at the station. One person goes to get the truck while everyone else responds to the scene.
according to some policies, I think if you miss the truck, you're out of luck then for that particular call when it came in. Sometimes, I think it can also depend on how long it takes for you to get your gear on
@@Fire-dl4dt What sense does that make? Why would you not put more bodies on a rig instead of just going to the scene and clog up the roadway? We're not allowed to leave without at least 4 people on the apparatus. Just doesn't seem to make any sense to not have people on the equipment
@@chaset1383 because it doesn't take but one person to grab the truck. Not only that but if we waited on everyone to get to the station we would be waiting too long.
@@POV-Fire-Response are you looking for any addition products for scene lighting? Such as a lightbar that lights up ditches and very far in front of you? I just installed a Nilight 20 inch on my ranch hand bumper and it puts out an insane amount more light than any lightbar (fire/pd) could ever!
Mutual Aid Call. My response was 11 minutes. Yes it was a long ride for me. The other units were on the scene a lot sooner than myself. Also the fire ground consist of a lot more than just putting out the fire. You need to have man power for all kinds of jobs as well as relief to those fighting the fire. This fire was contained to the back side of the house. We did save some belongings to the people who lived there. Are there times when I get to the fire scene the only thing left is a foundation? Sure it does happen. But that is usually from a fire burning a lot longer than reported or there is no immediate water source available.
@@POV-Fire-Response I know the comment sounded like I was bashing the fire department that was not my intent I understand big rural fire departments has company's that their district alone could be 20+ square miles. Also I never play TH-cam firefighter when watching videos I don't know the circumstances the firefighters and the IC encounter when they arrive on scene so it's not for me to say what are they doing
Speed isn't important. Safely arriving is. You're no use to anyone if you get in a wreck trying to be the first one there. All you end up doing is diverting resources from the initial call to come deal with the consequences of your stupidity
@@hosedragger-204 but I would believe in doing both getting their quick but safe that's what I meant but having a car like that doesn't get you from A To B as fast as it needs and to me that is essential for the response 🙂🙂🙂

i love the rear view mirror u should keep that
@Tom Schleif Our tanker pumper is the one pulling out with the number 8 on it. It has a 2000 gallon tank.

I was wondering why you were pulling out of a residence and not a station
It's a POV response lmao
Must be nice to be able to run red lights and sirens. I can only run blue lights. No siren

Are you a Volunteer firefighter for county or city?
I volunteer in Beech Island SC. It is an unincorporated area of Aiken SC. We cover 69 square miles.
@@POV-Fire-Response does your department have specific rules to follow for lights and sirens to be able to run them?
