"Man, there's an emergency vehicle approaching from behind. I'd better come to a complete stop in its path of travel." Some people are too stupid to drive.
Rookie driving? Better than some others I've seen that aren't rookies. Also nothing quite like traffic that stops dead in the middle lane in front of you to get you trained up good for idiot drivers.
I hate to say this but we need to have a limit on when old people can't drive anymore. I understand my time will come and ill accept it if I'm gonna be like that old lady at 7:25. My goodness please take my license away from me if I ever get like that. BTW, good driving and video!!
Haven't seen any evidence that young people are better drivers, and insurance rates say they're not, but have seen tons of evidence that 95% of everybody on the road drives like a maniac or a moron.
Cryptonymicus I feel like each age range are all bad especially middle age people. They text more often than younger kids, the last four years most texting and driving incidents have been caused by middle age people. Drinking and driving is usually early to mid 20s. In fact I feel like a lot of kids are safer than adults. They text and drive and are less experienced but for the past couple of years they have had less incidents. And this is not necessarily a good thing but a teenager texting and driving in comparison to an adult is less likely to have more attention to the road than their adult counter parts. They grew up using cellphones so they can type a message faster sometimes without even looking. Not saying it’s safe. If you go look at any high school parking lot look how aggressive many of the parents drive in school. Now with older people, their motor skills decline and they often have limited perspective of what’s going. I’m a volunteer firefighter and most of the accidents I’ve been to involved adults. Most of the elderly is usually from little focus like last week an old guy drove into a wall when he was in a parking lot instead of putting it in reverse. Middle age people tend to be more cocky and think they are the best driver and pretend like the road is theirs. I feel their should be a mandatory retest every three years or so because I don’t think adults are necessarily better Drivers.
@Anton Zuykov I'm 26 jackass I drive safe I always stop for stop signs and red lights and when I see a ambulance behind me with its siren on I put on my for way flashers and pull onto the shoulder of the road and stop
Not a bad job. Best advice I was ever given was "control your traffic". If you want people to pull the right then you get farther to the left when coming up. Basically make it so they have to go right to get out of your way. Let people know where you wanna go so they are less confused about where they want to go.
I miss this. I worked in the city so not too many long code 3 runs like this- we were usually on scene 3-7 minutes in. Longest I ever went code 3 was from Riverside General to UCLA on a CCT car, that was a long one. Have fun while you can!
Oh yes, been there done that! Took a Neo team outta Rush to St James in the hgts, Code 3 & he'd never done it & I was restricted due to my diabetes. Scared the crap outta me to the point I was grabbing the passenger seat bottom. Karl waived my restriction for the drive back with baby.
Good job, it took me a day..but I was driving for 40 years and most of the people on my squad were 20 years younger then I was. All I did was drive FAST!. And of course assist in medical emergencies. Then I went to MED SCHOOL.
I am an EMT-B. I drive an ambulance. What gets me that people do not FUCKING PULL OVER. I don't think they know that those flashing lights and that annoying siren is..
Haha I just KNEW it was Illinois or at the very leas the mid-west. I was about to ask if this was in Milwaukee because it looks very similar to my hometown's beat to hell mid-west style roads. Here in NYS (where I currently reside) roads look very different, although they are probably slightly worse in some areas. Midwest has all those concrete roads, they look great IMO but they crack like crazy! Ah well I guess its just the nostalgia but riding down the interstate in Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin you hear the unique clunks!
I know this area! Alg/Kane county border line and county line rd! McHenry County CERT native here! God Bless you guys! I My self am a 1st responder/CERT/Homeland Security/FEMA/Meterology Student! I know Code3 runs and how they operate! Stay Safe guys
Living in large dense urban areas with strong economies is a luxury with regards to emergency services, level 1 trauma centers. In many parts of the country having a heart attack at home is almost a death sentence due to poor emergency services coverage. Things will only get worse in decades to come as our country continues to fall apart.
Great video! Starting my PCP or EMT training soon, I am very excited but the driving part scares me a little. If you could give one tip (or two) to a rookie driver what would it be?
L Faker son sure , drive like you know to drive at first, taking it slow until your use to how your ambulance feels. I’m sure you will be fine and good luck.
I remember my first Code 3 the Captain riding with me said don't go crazy with the Air Horn at intersections because we are Requesting the right of way not Demanding the right of way Heavy traffic turn Lane drive the turn Lane go to left of traffic approach mute Sirens keep lights on to alert still in Emergency state
Idk why but I thought that slanted spec on the windshield was a parashooter and you where following it.....great video also i'm only halfway through. Are you going to an actual call? Or is this like live code 3 driving training?
Yea I had so many idiots while driving on three lane highways, Some would stop in the left lane..STOP! Most would not move right, Most would not know what to do at all. I rode in an area where 90% of the population was over 70. It was hard, But a lot of calls. Suicides, death by age, One father son let their mother/wife just die in bed, didn't feed her for days. The smell was unreal.
Can you be just an ambulance driver or do you have to be a peramedic too? Kind of like how the fire truck driver doesn't save people he just operates the truck.
+Lakhbir Singh no all of our ambulances have the whelen electric siren. Some versions have the option to use the electric Q like what Chicago fire uses.
12 minutes is nothing. I once responded to a chest pain that was 188 miles away in the Australian outback. The road was corrugated dirt all the way which made the trip slow. Mind you, that's a pretty exceptional instance.
greatgood5 put a set of low tone rumblers on it, next time that old lady will shit herself fer sure lol... we had a run in with those, working crowd control at the Bloomsburg Block Party... PD responded to help us clear the street so the bus could get thru, those rumblers are f*ckin mean man.. feel it in yer bones lol.. I'd run a set with my Whelen, if I had another $600 to throw into the work truck..

That windshield chip looks like a para glider wing in the distance.
I thought it was something in the sky at first then I was like how are they not getting any close or further away.
i though it was and eagle at first.
Yup. That is what I thought it was at first.
SO THAT'S WHAT IT WAS!!
It’s a trial run for Para medic para gliders
"Man, there's an emergency vehicle approaching from behind. I'd better come to a complete stop in its path of travel." Some people are too stupid to drive.
There probably is such a thing as driver's training anymore. So they have no idea what to do.
Marilyn Desrosiers it was taught in drivers education
Well they say to pull to the right and stop. It's up to the ambulance driver to know how to drive too.
Still amazes me the drivers who either pull over at the last minute (forcing you to slow down) or don't pull over at all, wow.
anyone else think they were chasing a paraglider at first with that debris on the windshield lol
Lmao
LOL
I thought it was an eagle for the first 45 seconds HAHA
I legit thought the exact same thing.
exactly what I thought until the first turn
Its a bird, Its a plane! Nope.. it's just a chunk missing from the windshield.
Rookie driving? Better than some others I've seen that aren't rookies. Also nothing quite like traffic that stops dead in the middle lane in front of you to get you trained up good for idiot drivers.
Telling from the conversation and reference to foot pedals my guess is former firefighter or ems
I would love to be a Paramedic man. awesome saving lives.
Are you prepared to see fucked up shit that no one should see?
I love the conversation haha "how the hell did you know that?"
Mighty fine driving. Huge respect for you guys.
Great call, driving and humor! Stay safe!
I hate to say this but we need to have a limit on when old people can't drive anymore. I understand my time will come and ill accept it if I'm gonna be like that old lady at 7:25. My goodness please take my license away from me if I ever get like that. BTW, good driving and video!!

Brain no we don't need a limite
You have absolutely no evidence of the age of the driver at 7:25
Not a bad job. Best advice I was ever given was "control your traffic". If you want people to pull the right then you get farther to the left when coming up. Basically make it so they have to go right to get out of your way. Let people know where you wanna go so they are less confused about where they want to go.
It seems like the camera was severely in agreement with you guys the whole ride.
Well I thought you both did a great job! Thanks for posting.
Awesome :) You both do really good :) Love your siren usage and that amazing Whelen siren :)
I miss this. I worked in the city so not too many long code 3 runs like this- we were usually on scene 3-7 minutes in. Longest I ever went code 3 was from Riverside General to UCLA on a CCT car, that was a long one. Have fun while you can!
+nategray77 in the private field its very common to have a 20-30 min code 3 run. In my 911 job all of our code 3 runs last 2-4 min.
I just realized i know exactly where this video started they were on Randall Road in Algonquin, Illinois. Nice job getting to the scene.
Great Video! The use of the horn ring makes it much easier than trying to use the controller all the time! Nice Work!
Oh yes, been there done that! Took a Neo team outta Rush to St James in the hgts, Code 3 & he'd never done it & I was restricted due to my diabetes. Scared the crap outta me to the point I was grabbing the passenger seat bottom. Karl waived my restriction for the drive back with baby.
Good job, it took me a day..but I was driving for 40 years and most of the people on my squad were 20 years younger then I was. All I did was drive FAST!. And of course assist in medical emergencies. Then I went to MED SCHOOL.
Excellent video, great siren work!
+ZonedOutBass thanks man
Holy shit I thought this was Algonquin when you were driving, but once you said "once we get to 47" I went through a mindfuck. Crazy.
Clearing intersections was fairly scary. About what you would expect from someone with no/little experience. Glad those days are over. KMA
I was EMT in Alaska a 10 min. response time for us would be extremely fast. One run was over 70 miles one way it was over an hour to get there
I am an EMT-B. I drive an ambulance. What gets me that people do not FUCKING PULL OVER. I don't think they know that those flashing lights and that annoying siren is..
I thought the the dirt on the windshield was someone parachuting down and they were chasing him...
"COME ON GRANDMA!"
lol yall are too funny good job stay safe!
Great instructing!
I remember when i was new...
Awesome job teaching!
It took me until 4:48 in the video to realize that the chip in the glass isn't a paraglider.
I thought so too!!! that's really funny!
That looks like soo much fun..always to speed down the streets..i wannta be like u guys
I'm applying for a driver position, just trying to see what I'm getting in to 😳
Awesome video
Code 3 turning right nearly stopped yielding to traffic on the roadway funny as hell!
hahaha no way I live in Algonquin as well.
Dang, y'alls roads are terrible! I can see where it would be difficult running code 3 and getting anywhere in a timely manner.
+Jordan Hooper Illinois roads are the worst i have ever seen and i have been to so many states and 13 different countries.
Haha I just KNEW it was Illinois or at the very leas the mid-west. I was about to ask if this was in Milwaukee because it looks very similar to my hometown's beat to hell mid-west style roads.

Ah well I guess its just the nostalgia but riding down the interstate in Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin you hear the unique clunks!
+DownWithOTT Illinois is just the worst, period.
You call those bad roads? I'd kill for roads that smooth.
IKR, that seems as bad as what we have here in Ukraine.
Good job, as time come. You will be flying down road in no time and get to a call very quick. It just take time.
Hahaha, cute.
The best part: Rookie.
Cool video!
I know this area! Alg/Kane county border line and county line rd! McHenry County CERT native here! God Bless you guys! I My self am a 1st responder/CERT/Homeland Security/FEMA/Meterology Student! I know Code3 runs and how they operate! Stay Safe guys
Poor guy was probably dead by the time you guys got there.
Yeah...was thinking the same thing. Where I am, I'd have rescue here in 45 sec. and an ambulance in about 4 minutes.

walther007 where do you live?
walther007 where do you live
It was chest pain hes not dead
cant deny he did good though
“How do you know this shit?”
Lmao have you ever been on the internet? Or read a siren instruction manual? 😂
I remember the first time somone told me HF stood for “hands free” and meant you can operate the sirens with the horn. Game changer 😂
Do you call that "streets" in the US? :D Now I know why SUV's and Trucks are that common there
11 minute response time? where is this?
How much emergency driver training do you get?
what was the thing flying in the sky?
Great video! Starting my PCP or EMT training soon, I am very excited but the driving part scares me a little. If you could give one tip (or two) to a rookie driver what would it be?
L Faker son sure , drive like you know to drive at first, taking it slow until your use to how your ambulance feels. I’m sure you will be fine and good luck.
So this took about 12 minutes to respond? Damn
Speedy Gonzales with a lead foot.
I remember my first Code 3 the Captain riding with me said don't go crazy with the Air Horn at intersections because we are Requesting the right of way not Demanding the right of way Heavy traffic turn Lane drive the turn Lane go to left of traffic approach mute Sirens keep lights on to alert still in Emergency state
Wish we could do this in California cod 3 no one moves
Hey I got wrote up 4 not stopping at the stop sign when I was running code 3 on a volunteer fire truck u still have 2 stop even if it's clear
the fuck was that first time driving a car?
Demonwicked No but first driving an emergency vehicle
Actually, according to the description, the rookie had very little code time.
Am I the only one that busts a turn at 30 mph??? And flys through roads just to make it fun??
Funeral coming !
Super.POLICE
Looks like a UFO out there lol
Why did he say "This is not Arizona?" lol
Why did he get out of the left lane?? hahahaha
Should I turn here? Ehh, why not XD
Hmm that engine sound
Idk why but I thought that slanted spec on the windshield was a parashooter and you where following it.....great video also i'm only halfway through. Are you going to an actual call? Or is this like live code 3 driving training?
where is this?
Code 3 for chest pain?
What area of Illinois? That seems around Hoffman Estates/Elgin area.
It's Algonquin, I've got relatives that live near the 1:55 subdivision.
Holy shit nobody closer to respond?
Yea I had so many idiots while driving on three lane highways, Some would stop in the left lane..STOP! Most would not move right, Most would not know what to do at all. I rode in an area where 90% of the population was over 70. It was hard, But a lot of calls. Suicides, death by age, One father son let their mother/wife just die in bed, didn't feed her for days. The smell was unreal.
All I have to Say I hope Im Driving a bit more Faster xD Not bad For a Rookie tho
oh Algonquin
It be easy to rob a bank in this town.I would be home by the time these cops got to the bank.
Don Dilts Jr Except this is an ambulance
Can you be just an ambulance driver or do you have to be a peramedic too? Kind of like how the fire truck driver doesn't save people he just operates the truck.
don't you guys use a fed q? might work for cases like 7:09; just saying
+Lakhbir Singh no all of our ambulances have the whelen electric siren. Some versions have the option to use the electric Q like what Chicago fire uses.
like where is this place bum freakin no mans land. damn they need closer hospitals.
is there just a ambulance driver position. just driving the ambulance?
OneSneakyGamer No
We have strictly drivers. Some places have them most dont
dam I gave up halfway through
do all ambulances have dash cams?
Demosthenes409 dash cams rarely shake
Demosthenes409 the guy even said it was a tablet lol
what kind of siren is in this bus
+Joe L Those are Whelen tones. The best you can get unless it's a mechanical Federal Q.
Thanks!
They the only cops in the county ? 10 min response time for what seemed like 50 mi.
They're an ambulance...
pedro
I know EXACTLY where this is :D APD or LITHPD?
+Es2Kay V Okay correction, I know where it STARTED. Not exactly where it started..
+Es2Kay V this was a private EMS company ATEC.
+DownWithOTT Where did you start to have to go through Algonquin?
+Es2Kay V I think we where on RT 34 and we had to cut to RT 47. Hope that helps. We kinda winged it.
+DownWithOTT Okay Now I know... Yes It does help.
Great driving too!
Forget it , the patient is dead 12 minute response time.
12 minutes is nothing. I once responded to a chest pain that was 188 miles away in the Australian outback. The road was corrugated dirt all the way which made the trip slow. Mind you, that's a pretty exceptional instance.
Where I'm at 12 minutes outside of the zone 0 areas within the 2 town limits is pretty good but this rookie is killing me lol
Shit happens, most ambulance take 10 to 20 mins to get to a scene.
Or fire had responded as well if its a duty crew/full time and so they were already getting care.
Uhhh there is a whole sleu of thing that will not "kill" a patient 12 minutes.
goood job but speed up a lil MoRe ....
our ambulances are so much faster, half the time fot that drive!
No that not good driver's training...
This is fake. I saw this on Walker, Texas Ranger.
Endangering and honking the traffic for fun, that so childish. I am surprised that grandma in a car did not get a heart-attack.
What the hell are you talking about?
Grandma probably shouldn't be driving anymore.
I'm sure her driving into the side of the ambulance isn't very good for her health either.
Wow, please tell me this was a dry sense of humor???
greatgood5 put a set of low tone rumblers on it, next time that old lady will shit herself fer sure lol... we had a run in with those, working crowd control at the Bloomsburg Block Party...
