Gramps did that job for awhile, our home town had some narrow streets and hard turns. He would always talk about how nervous he would get when he qualified on the same roads taking me to middle school. He loved that job, people still know “singing Jim” or “smoking Jim” (he was always singing, humming, or smoking). I think he had just about every job you could have in the small FD, eventually becoming chief. RIP ” jumpa Jim”.
Priceless and spot on. I was the old grumpy D/E and you are so correct about being gentle and not startling the grizzly bear getting recharged. Retired for a year and miss the comradely of station life
Damn, busted again.....i was a Driver/Engineer for over three decades....and I prefer Mint Chocolate Chip!!!! Also, I'm an old fart... Real Fire Trucks...... ...are RED! ...have three pedals (and an Engineer who knows how to use them!!😎) ....and the view through the windshield includes a Bulldawg's BUTT!!!😇
Best damn job on the fire department. When you're D/E youre pretty much an independant operator! You answer to yourself. The other half the time, youre in the right seat, in charge and running into buildings. Its a beautiful thing!
I mean the accent is a little all over the place, its predominantly RP british, but slides slightly into generic aussie and even a little south african every now and then. But still better than most professional americn actors ngl.
I'm not a fire fighter or driver engineer, but this would make sense if I had to work nights. Eventually, I would adapt to just sleeping in the comfy chair until I needed to drive the engine again. And I would be very cranky towards anyone waking me up. So yeah, bring food.
Speaking from a fellow Engineer, this is very important advice, also remember when presenting food keep your fingers close or tucked in , you dont want any accidents. Happy hunting.
That's like me and my coffee every morning... my poor husband will drop everything and sprint to the coffee maker if he forgot to set it up for me earlier.
Im not a fireman but im a trucker. For protecton I'd sleep with an Estwing 28 oz framers hammer. Got suddenly woke up one morning.chased 2 dudes off my truck. About 30 min later they came back. They were the pipeline workers i was hauling for. My boss played a trick on them. You dont wake me up SUDDENLY.
So in the US you have a specific driver engineer role? Is that what that person does every tour? Or does he/she rotate out. In the UK you either are a driver or not, and one day you might be driver/pump op and the next day you could be a FF in the back.
I was snoozing in the recliner one day and my wife decided to wake me up by pulling on my arm. Well, I practiced Hapkido for many years before getting married. Started at 14. Before I even woke up I had her on the floor locked up in pain. I'm going "oh shit oh shit" of course but I'm actually inwardly quite pleased with myself.. I miss her sometimes.
I love how his coworkers are all in for the channel it makes it so much more realistic
“Sean, Sean, Sean”
“Don’t be angry, I have ice cream”
😂😂😂😂😂😂✔️
Retired engineer here. These actually make me feel...."homesick?", I guess. And somebody owes me some ice cream!
Hey! Best job on on the FD. You're basically an independent operator half the time, the other half you're in charge! I agree Squiggs!
Thanks for helping keep people safe!

I completely understand that home sick feeling.
It's 0248 and the tones go off for a headache and toe pain, pt is drunk and has been having this pain for 1 week.
How we doing on this homesickness?
Even the driver engineer guy almost laughed while playing his role 😂
I'm honestly not sure if the other guy was in on the video or just reacting to his coworker being weird
i think this might be something he regularly does
I've rewatched it a few times and I think it real.
Same 😂
oh they know, they get to know eachother real well in the stations he says
@@bostonrailfan2427 I think he was legit asleep, but after he woke up and saw what was going on, decided to play along
Never look him in the eye, don’t make any sudden moves, just leave the bowl and step back slowly.
Priceless and spot on. I was the old grumpy D/E and you are so correct about being gentle and not startling the grizzly bear getting recharged. Retired for a year and miss the comradely of station life
Congrats to your well deserved Retirement :)
Excuse me if that isn't what you'd actually say.
"A solitary killer, the fire truck stalks its prey"
"The Fire Truck can consume 8 times its body weight"
"The Ambulances will have to wait their turn"
Family guy
I like the fact that the rest of the crew is just looking at him in a hysterical way.
Damn, busted again.....i was a Driver/Engineer for over three decades....and I prefer Mint Chocolate Chip!!!!
Also, I'm an old fart...
Real Fire Trucks......
...are RED!
...have three pedals (and an Engineer who knows how to use them!!😎)
....and the view through the windshield includes a Bulldawg's BUTT!!!😇

"Real Fire Trucks......
...are RED!"
Nah, red is boring. Yellow over Blue (with a white or black cab) is where its at.
Yeah definitely gotta disagree with this color assessment.
@@ltpinecone what the hell autistic color design is this? ask any 5 year old in america the fire truck is red and we all want to grow up to be one.
@@hardwirecars it's called style. It looks good too. Ventura county fire department: look it up.
I love how they just all contribute to this. It is heart warming to see they all get in on it.
How does this channel not have more subs?
Yer a sub, chico
I get the feeling that he didn’t tell anyone else and just started filming, and no one has any idea what he’s doing.
I love how Sean gives him a sideways glance as he's eating his ice cream 😂
This dude is a crazy good actor. Pretty dang good accent too
I'm not sure any of them is actually "acting" or just being themselves. 😄
I mean the accent is a little all over the place, its predominantly RP british, but slides slightly into generic aussie and even a little south african every now and then. But still better than most professional americn actors ngl.
He's literally Australian
I can just imagine everybody else thinking "oh great, he's got a camera again".
freaking hilarious how he says "relaxation chair" at 0:35 😆
I heard reaction chair, I think Del3ted may have insider knowledge, I trust him😁 🤔
I heard radiaction chair
I keep hearing it as "Ready-Action" chair XD
He said "ready action chair"
Ours where ready action chairs
This guy looks like he's the one using the drugs I'm supposed to, in the ambulance.
Why does he look like mr clean
So true- and the guys watching 👀 - so true. Your killing it bro!
What a treat! Us normies never get to see the elusive driver-engineer in it's natural habitat! Thank you!
never do crack kids.
Because this is what turns out!
@@marisal48dont threaten me with a fun time
LMFAO how the hell do the guys keep a straight face doing these XD
"Walk away slowly" rolling lol
Rewatching these again, I'm loving the accents.
I'm not a fire fighter or driver engineer, but this would make sense if I had to work nights. Eventually, I would adapt to just sleeping in the comfy chair until I needed to drive the engine again.
And I would be very cranky towards anyone waking me up.
So yeah, bring food.
🤣 Perfect comedic timing... I'm dying
You guys seem to have such an awesome team!
That man *snatched* that ice cream away as soon as he was fully conscious
I would do it too, ngl
Speaking from a fellow Engineer, this is very important advice, also remember when presenting food keep your fingers close or tucked in , you dont want any accidents. Happy hunting.
Guys in the back looking like: "Jason, the fuc you doing with our driver engineer? You got a death wish?"
I can't stop laughing. All of them are to funny keep it up Brother 🤣😂🤣😂
The way that guy snatched the ice cream. It was like Gollum with the precious.
This is amazing. I am dying from laughing so hard.
I wonder how they manage to make the video without the other guys in the room bursting into laughter.
Real professionals ;)
3yrs later and it’s still funny!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I just subscribed and am binge watching - these are hysterical.
Ok, that was fuckin hilarious...well played sir
1:15 I see our buddy Brandon is still parched from the last video
That's like me and my coffee every morning... my poor husband will drop everything and sprint to the coffee maker if he forgot to set it up for me earlier.
Can’t wait to be a engineer/equipment operator
Be very careful when approaching 😂
Definitely every episode of National Geographics 🤣
Bring National Geographix FD Edition back 2k19.
Came back needed this today
Im not a fireman but im a trucker. For protecton I'd sleep with an Estwing 28 oz framers hammer. Got suddenly woke up one morning.chased 2 dudes off my truck. About 30 min later they came back. They were the pipeline workers i was hauling for. My boss played a trick on them.
You dont wake me up SUDDENLY.
I'm laughing so hard I think I'm going to need paramedics! 🤣
This was in my recommended and im so happy about it 😄
The faces on the folks in the back, trying so hard to not ruin the take XD
Lmao I'd get even more upset..... it's not chocolate lol.
This guy is great to watch. Subscribed.
The face is everything! "TF is u doin', bruh?"
Can't stop chuckling as I read the comments...
Oh you have a Direct Line to my funny bone
You kill me but in a funny way! You all are amazing!
this was hilarious!! 🤣 made my morning!!
I’m here to support youtubers with alopecia
Bahaha 😂
Nobody ever brings me ice cream!
I'm english and love your enthusiasm your should use this voice on an low priority ems
I didn't even realize you could pull off a perfect accent for this. 😂
I think I'd pay to have you do that voice in a video lol that was amazing
Johny sinns Is that you?
And he lived another day to tell the tale.
another favorite.
I am also curious whether that was arranged ahead of time, or he just decided to go along with it:D
What a majestic creature
I missed the "National geographix" and wondered why he was doing an accent XD Attenbourugh , nice.
His crew was such a good sport
This is GENIUS !!!
Man, OG content.
When some wakes you up with snuggles its hard to get mad. I guess food works too.
Excellent technique!
So in the US you have a specific driver engineer role? Is that what that person does every tour? Or does he/she rotate out.
In the UK you either are a driver or not, and one day you might be driver/pump op and the next day you could be a FF in the back.
It depends on staffing and on the department. Some have bidded positions. Even those that guy may do other things on a overtime shift
Is that Jason's third eye- dimple? A playful ascended master 🧘 🍦 👨🚒 , I knew it
Yeah I wouldn't mess with that dude either. He'll eat a grown man whole in one bite. Definitely the dude you want on your side though.
Told my kids to shhhh as he approached the sleeping driver engineer
Bruh. We all know that breed of animal prefers snickers.
I love your videos!
Croikey mate...slather me billibong...those engineers are dangerous...
That describes our driver to a tea.
David Attenborough is about to give you a call to join him and his team.👌
Best video yet!
Good God that fookin hilarious mon
😂😂😂 you guys are so dumb.. (in the most positive way) truly love your videos! Keep up the great and entertaining job!
That was golden 😗✨
He could play the mask
fabulous, great work as always( I know im late to these )
I now imagine this is everyone in the firehouse if they get woken up ny someone and the bat signal isn't active
How do we reach you to have you on a firefighter podcast on spotify or apple podcast?

Australian TF2 Engineer
Nailed it.
Everyone in the back just watching like 👁👄👁
I love how us acts like an Australian LOL 😂
This guy is the angry cops of firefighters
When are you buying a crack house?
I'd love to be on shift with this guy
Mate , that accent is good
Thought for sure somebody was gettin a mr clean quick wax n shine..
I’m dying😂
This is wholesome
And all the other crew in the background watching!!
Ah yes, this has aged well
