To this day the best on the road video I have ever watched. As an engineer I would have been very nervous about passing people on the right shoulder but this guy knew his job and neat that law enforcement cleared a path for him
Guys i absolutely love this this, makes our UK roads look tiny. What a great drive and fantastic siren and bullhorn, great communication on the radio take a look at how the UK chiefs get around
their driving is terrible compared to emergency drivers here in the UK, in this video they've cut across medians; driven very aggressively; never slowing down, which forces the cars to move when it could be unsafe; etc
@@leonardochapman4736american emergency driving is typically more aggressive because we can afford to be more aggressive and because we have longer response times. additionally, it is really hard to tell relative speed with the dashcam FOV.
Outstanding video! It was so good that I went out and drove the route. The route shown was about 7.5 miles. So the average speed was about 50 mph. On the Interstate it got up to 72 mph. Not bad for a 56,000 pound fire truck. Good job, guys.
Is it wrong that I sat and watched this with my logitech steering wheel on my pc desk whilst pretending I were driving this truck? Probs something I should have kept to myself lol
Tekky Wolf Yeah that's cool but im 35 loooooooool mind you my daughter was with me at the time pretending to do the horn so as fun as it was, I was only being a good daddy really
I really love the Q and Powercall combination. And excellent work from the police department for escorting you to the fire. Sucks the camera died, but what a response! Great work!
Great Job getting there, It really took teamwork & a lot of thought with keeping up with all the vehicles you had in the way. Thanks for your service! Rob Webb Trail_Scout
ya but i'm a firefighter as well. and i seen how long it takes for response times to incidents on the autobahn and you have strategic placements of rescue and private ambulance/ fire departments over there... 90% of our's are county /city/state funded. &10% volunteer. and ours are also responding from great distances at times so breaks in our guard rails would cut down response times in the golden hour for critical incidents.
sam lyon we hardly have any privat ambulance services over here?! We have exactly one private EMS provider in the city, which runs only 1 single ambulance, whereas all others are runned by the Red Cross, St. John, Order of Maltese. And the Paid FD in my city has only one single station (the city has 200,000 inhabitants, 2 highways, whereby one of them has 2 tunnels), all other stations are from the Volunteer FD, but they don't run 1st alarm calls, no first responder calls and so on)
The shoulder on the highways here are wide enough for emergency vehicles to use easily. If people had been pulling to the shoulder it would have impeded their response even more.
The worst first part was having to go so far past where the fire was before they actualy found one of those emergency cut-throughs, then when you had to drive down the right hand side emergency lanes, that is where over half the time you see all kids of debris like semi truck rubber that has come off of their tires, or sometimes lots of other garbage and in a case like this, your hoping that you don't have to run over any of that kinds of stuff which can burst a tire or something worse...

if you hear it day in day out it's boring in the long run of course. In Sweden we have hi-lo and yelp it's not so useful in heavy traffic. But i have mounted an american fire truck air horn on my unit too it's similar to the one you guys use on your'e apparatus. Nice video.
The silver Crown Victoria was New Jersey State Police. They are responsible for patrolling Interstate 287. The SUV belonged to the North Branch FD fire chief or the assistant chief.
Police don't sit at fire stations. That was nice of the officer/trooper to post up where he/she was at the cutover to try to not only alert the FD where the cutover is but to assist with the final lead in to the scene. Realistically, though, a big fire truck rolling code is going to garner a lot more attention from motorists than a police car any day.
@@tuckerteige1 that's not true, as long as you protect victim information it's completely legal. See "Live Rescue" as an example. They have both ambulances and firetrucks responding to scenarios, they just make sure to bleep out any names, addresses and blur faces. Most departments just need approval, but definitely not illegal as long as you protect personal information
Wow I'm impressed, for the most part people are actually MOVING out of your way. When we respond to calls we just get stupid people who I swear are going "hehe what's that big red thing with flashing lights? Meh, whatever it's less important than me so I'm gonna keep going." Makes me want to just ram them off the road.

i believe that was a fire chief
Until he f'd up 🤣
Actually, remember, when the highway backs up like this... keep the shoulders CLEAR! That's how these guys get past all of us....
And DO NOT just stop!!!

Thank you to the fire and police and rescue department for all you do. God bless and stay safe and healthy.
9 years old but still has better quality than most first response dashcams nowadays lmao

Nice job of driving retired Indianapolis fire 🔥
Ah man you stopped it before I was ready. Great ride and cooperation from all involved.
Always love watching emergency trucks with lights and sirens drive along and the cars go flying past them
Let the Qs roll and the airhorns blow!
Love the Q
Love the Q pinned rolling down the road! Seems like they could use a few more Emergency turn arounds in the median though
I will never cease to amazing me the amount of people who do not move over for emergency vehicles....
The officer seems to know a shortcut to the scene they are heading to 😁👍
Wow! That is a great ride! I've never seen anything like that before!
Is it wrong that I sat and watched this with my logitech steering wheel on my pc desk whilst pretending I were driving this truck?
Probs something I should have kept to myself lol
Hey, let your imagination run wild. I used to pretend I was an Indy car driver with my wheel when i was a kid.

+BarmyTwubble You're a good father then! Much respect.
lol nice

love how when you came arund that hair pin curve the first two cars pulled over an the third one just floored it so he/she didnt have too
I drive on all those roads nearly everyday, 22,202,287. Interesting to see that all the roads look the same 10 years ago as they do today.
Nice driving! Looks like the citizens in your town have some good sense of movement too.
i live in manville, and take 287 everyday for work, and that response must of felt forever with that u-turn must have felt forever to get to
I like how the cop came in and escorted the fire dept to the scene. :D
Brandon Hess Same. That was cool and doesn't happen often. Usually they are arresting them.
why would they do that? Johnd 7293
Brandon Hess You haven't seen the multiple videos of cops arresting firefighters/paramedics while they are saving someone?
never seen a cop arrest any emergency responder before actully.
Johnd 7293 multiple videos? There's like 2 calm down.
654 is so cool teamwork.. All vehicles aimed at van fire like missles.. What a adrenalinerush that must have been. Whoo.🚨🚨🚓🚔🚒🚑.
WHY POST A VIDEO THAT ENDS RIGHT BEFORE THEY GET TO THE SCENE?

Hardly a fire 😂
Brian Markle well, I wouldn’t want 750,000 people to see my car on fire
I agree. Eight minutes of driving and let the car burn.
0:22 Horn operator must've been a drummer
Savage.
Lol
Now i've seen Crown Vics and Tahoes cuttin the median, but a fire truck?!? Great work!
Great video; it is a shame we did not see any of the suppression efforts.
That air horn gives me chills! Does anybody know the model of the horn?
Wolo Chief Air Horn - Model# 846
@@chaosdemonwolf1 thanks!
@@actionfire4036 np.
And the video ends even before we reach the scene, what in the world was up with that, just another one of those left us hanging videos, Nice........
Because it's about radio, power call and Q...crap!
Against department policy & Hippa laws. Probably needs approval as well. Thats how it is in our FD.
Then don't bother doing video.
@@retiredatlast1976 It's a responding video not an on-scene video.

Aha that was cool with the police & what looks like a Chief's car, escorting the fire truck along the median like that.
Is fire driver after light stop look they veritygh whit looway breith unther rum.
@@gemaalfandra4847 Were you drunk when you wrote that or somethin?
Thank you for your service
I love how the cops work with the fire department in New Jersey unlike California that arrest firefighters whisl doing their jobs
Beautiful partnership
That crown Vic made it look like you were peddling that rig
Great driving and excellent air horn work
Thanks for getting there fast
Im a firefighter back home, but in college right now. Im watching this video because I miss it so much... now ironically I hear a Q siren outside...
that's a pretty crazy run. Lots of traffic and massive radio traffic.
very nice code 3 driving, great job! Just awesome how fast you can move past the traffic jam.
That's so awesome seeing the teamwork with Fire and Police, aaaawesome stuff!
Great Job getting there, It really took teamwork & a lot of thought with keeping up with all the vehicles you had in the way. Thanks for your service!

Holy crap! Did the police just talk to the fire engine on the radio??! Interoperability does exist! lol
(Cool video, thanks for sharing)
That more than likely was the chief or captain. I've seen many driving cars that very closely resemble police vehicles.
Nick Carpenter called the driver by name I'm guessing chief or something of the sort
Flouwe bist freyppinng herrinow traffic road stop.
@@thorodinsolutions7182 they were hauling tho
see when PD and Fire work together its awesome. too bad many departments dont work well with others
Awesome heads up Trooper...
great response!
Who ever is in the driver seat is driving the damn hell out of that wagon! Nice siren work too!
THAT was sweet! Great job guys
Literally the quality make the q2b siren sound like tire screeching.
It would have been fun to watch the knock down, but still, thanks for great vid! Liked how you, BC, & cops cooperated to get there!
Would like to have seen the firefighters fight the fire.
they need more breaks in the guard rail to allow access to the other sides for emergency vehicles
we on the German Autobahn get along without even one break in the guard rails; the only breaks are right in front of and behind tunnels

OK THANKS FOR THE CORRECTION
You are an IDIOT!! The reason is to stop fools like you from going into oncoming traffic!
That Q and air horn got a good workout.
The shoulder on the highways here are wide enough for emergency vehicles to use easily. If people had been pulling to the shoulder it would have impeded their response even more.
Awesome job. It looks like im driving with you. Tqs for video
Loved it when the cops helped us call...called them "rolling roadblocks."
Round here we call them pace cars

i would of love to see more of that video arriving setting up and putting out the vehicle fire
yeah but privacy
By far one of the best response videos ive seen, The crown Vice and the SUV were they fire vehicles or police?
The silver Crown Victoria was New Jersey State Police. They are responsible for patrolling Interstate 287. The SUV belonged to the North Branch FD fire chief or the assistant chief.
Even on a video it feels like forever responding to a call. Then you realize it only took like 5 minutes.
Nice video. Even if the camera did stop where it was, nothing spectacular is going to happen when you pull up on scene.
Great work, stay safe.
So glad I know all the back roads instead of taking that damn forsaken highway
drive fast brother . go go go
GREAT response.
Exciting!
That was intense! I'm sitting on my couch and even I was pumped! The double siren is awesome. Way better than that annoying hi-lo of Europe
Awesome to see the police running block for the truck, thats what its all about
Nice driving brother
Intense, I felt that Air Horn thru the screen.
that looked like a wild ride
Great driving
Thnks for this video
now thats what i call team work.... damn good!
Wow, bet that van is a total loss. Prayers for all first responders.
I need to get one of those horns and sirens. It'll cut make my commute time home in half!
the powercall siren is my favorite so is the hi low
Good video. Sucky that it was cut off like that.

This is the daily where i live but when 2 cops and a truck fly by you better call work and say youre guna be late 🤣
That was crazy
I think you guys should've first attended to the witch that was dying under the bridge at 3:16
i love the airhorn action
like the sound of the powercall siren chiming with the Q.
Police don't sit at fire stations. That was nice of the officer/trooper to post up where he/she was at the cutover to try to not only alert the FD where the cutover is but to assist with the final lead in to the scene.

Nice video, but for the future, could you keep the camera on while you fight the fire and/or get helmet cameras?

ughhhhhh we were so close!!! haha great video though
The escort is so freaking cool I love that scene
That federal Q sure does give me goose bumps :P Love this video
The air horn gives me goosebumps! 😊😊
Love the pc & Q
I saw a video where a woman with her baby were outside safely while her van was up in flames. Frightening
Its a nice thing that the police was openning the way for you :P
great video.
Nice vid...who is control of the siren and the honking ?..the driver ?
awesome video of us watching you drive lol
Drivers moved out relatively nicely compared to where I live
great video
Holy cow!!! Long ride isn't even the word... def should have more emergency turn around areas but good job guys
That is one long drive for that call.
