This is the channel where the guy honks the horn a lot yeah? I remember watching some videos like that a while ago and was trying to find the channel again.
Of course he uses the horn a lot because there is two firetrucks coming. Often ppl think "Oh they already passed". Hard to distinguish two sirens close by. And drivers don't think a extra time..
according to that argument, we would have to blast the horns when we respond in a convoy of 3 to 10 apparatus as well? But we don't ... no need for that
To your point, early on you see the pick up start trying to go after the first truck crossed the intersection and then stop once he starts pulling the horn
And if you could ever be a red cap wich you won’t you’d be pulling that horn waiting for your boyfriends present. Shut the fuck up and stay off these videos pansy
My dad was a fire fighter 27 years. I've rode along with him and the other firemen to fires and vehicle accidents and got to control the sirens and air horn along the route to the fire call location. I had a blast every time!!
@@-Sean_ No dying down is the downward wail. Sweeping into those low notes gives extreme range too. People were able to hear the Chrysler V8 Victory Air Raid siren from catalina Island 30 miles away when it wailed down.
Those hit thumb down should be from another planet! If they ever had their house burnt down would never complain about a fire truck horn. We salute all firefighthers and first responders. Thank you all for your service and may God bless you and your mates that put their life in danger to save others.
The compressor didn't run out of anything, it just supplies air (or gas) to the tank. And the tank didn't run out of air. It ran out of pressure. There was still air in the tank (atmospheric pressure), just not enough to do anything useful with.
I wanted to meet or see the guy driving the fire truck! He's a real good and safe driver! That was a cool ride along!! I also liked the guy that was operating that horn!! When we were little we used to sit in the back of the wagon and motion to the truckers to pull on that horn.. Most of them did.. this guy would have been my FAVORITE!!
Doing that many years ago, the problem is cars are quieter inside now, and people tend to turn their car radio too high, and horns are a lower frequency. Mature folks, in particular men loose the higher end of their hearing. So keep on "Horning" them.
Yes! I completely trust our first responders to use their best judgment as to appropriate signaling. If some unaware child ran in front of the truck, those same know-it-alls would be saying “why didn’t they use the horn”
Autistic retards. They do this on marine radio distress calls too. "Reeee he didn't speak the words exactly like in the book/my retarded imagination". Mentally retarded idiots.
This truly is nothing, basically an 8 minute response. Not first due, so there were already other units on scene. Yeah thats basically typical response time even for a suburban fire department. Yeah it may be long in length (no much traffic or anything) but its not long in time (lack of traffic and lights in general causes not many slowdowns in response).
@@KandiKlover truly this isn't even a true rural FD. This is nothing compared to what I've seen. A Town/Small City FD responding MA to a neighboring small/mid sized city is what this is. I've seen 200-300 square mile areas covered by two VFDs operating out of two stations. That is true rural FDs. Many times in those instances, if its a week day, yeah there is zero staffing, total volunteer with no one manning the station. So you have to add the time to respond to the station to get a unit to the response time. Many times in those cases 1 or 2 people per piece will go to the station while the remaining manpower will arrive POV.
3:05 lmao even when his fellow fire fighter says he'll pull the horn when they need it don't worry about it, he does not give 2 shits and pulls it anyway
That's not how it works. More horn usage means desensitizing drivers to the sound of emergency vehicles, making them react less quickly. Also it's deafeningly loud, and can stress people out, causing more danger.
@New England Patriots if you know anything you would realize what he said is true. Yeah I love it as much as the next person but if you use it all the time people will just ignore it. The very reason Power Call tends to work is not many people are used to hearing it (basic Power Call, let alone the intersection mode which will truly clear an intersection faster than anything outside someone standing there shooting a gun). Same reason there is talks in some departments to start using European style sirens. They may sound stupid but think about it, if you hear that when you are driving its going to grab you attention very quick. Truthfully there is a such thing as too much horn and too much Q no matter how good it sounds.
Dude you would be ridding layout not my OiC. Horn at intersections only, federal FtW. Hell if your gonna drain out my air tanks for my brakes. I could only watch a portion and skip annoyance
OK, I am one minute in and if people don't see it by now, they never will. The engine we are riding in is the second one travelling down the same road. Civilians will hear a siren, see a fire engine, or ambulance, or police car go through and think to themselves, OK, "there they go" and proceed through the intersection when the second siren they are hearing (but not realizing it) is just about now entering the same intersection. I have responded to those secondary accidents multiple times. Usually the problems we had on those accidents is the responding engine, ambulance, squad (what ever) went on the first run and we would have to respond from a farther distance.
that's why we usually respond in a convoy of let's say 3 to 10 appartus at the first alarm (whatever the specific convoy from a certain station looks like). Drivers realize that there are several units approaching, and without a huge gap in between, they won't just start driving while the next apparatus is about to enter the intersection
When I see a fire engine zooming by with a siren I listen for another. And I don't think I'm a genius. I think most of us realize that fire engines often travel in pairs or groups in an emergency.
When a civilian in a stopped car, hearing a sirene, is not able to look again to the left or the right side, if there comes another unit or not, he is stupid. As long as I hear sirenes, I have to react carefully.
You people who dislike the air horn use wouldn't like to be in a truck with me in control of the horn because I think it's one of the highlights of driving/riding in a fire truck
AinsleyWantsYouHome from what I’m assuming he was probably mad because not enough air was getting to the horns which make that high pitch screech sound
Don’t rush to judgement on that damn horn, if you have never been a firefighter or a cop please stop !

Was thinking, boy does that all look familiar. Then when you all passed the Pink Elephant, then saw the Rt 60 West sign. Visit my son down there 3-4 times a year. Good job getting there.
ericthesoldier they’re beefy beefy airhorns! My departments new engines horns I haven’t heard cause I haven’t ran any calls on it. More or less ran Mutual aid because those calls happened when I was available.
I miss those days going Code three with lights sirens and blowing the air horns. I can't believe how things have changed since I was a volunteer fireman
One of the safest, most profesional response videos I've watched, especially as it started raining during the run, but most guys on here including the keyboard warriors are upset about a horn getting honked too much! Go figure.....
we don't have an additional horn, we don't need one either. On such emtpy roads most of us would probably kept the siren off as well and only switched it on when necessary
This response time was horrible in my city FF got to the fire in less then two minutes 12 Ppl dead and we have by far the best FF in the nation FDNY #TRUMP2020
I don't see the issue with the excessive air horn use. going through the residential neighborhood at the end was a bit excessive and typically my company runs with no sirens or horns in places like that. HOWEVER, as we saw at the beginning of the video, drivers tend to associate 2 sirens with one vehicle. in this instance, where two trucks are driving in tandem, drivers may associate the two siren tones to one rig. i've seen it a lot where we'll be driving in tandem like that, and a car will pull out right in front of us. it's usually older folks but still. the use of the air horn isn't hurting anything, cmon now.
Moon Scar You never know when a careless squirrel or similar mammal will dart across the road. #livesmatter! Best to be overcautious and blow that horn eh?
I was laughing my ass off with my man pulling on the horn and I came to comments seeing everyone notice it too HAHAHAHHA. I really thought I'd be the only one.
very awesome response, great siren and airhorn work to get to a house fire safely. up in rhode island we do have Q sirens, when i was an acting officer for a volunteer dept i'd always start the electronic siren, then blast the Q if theres alot of traffic but great response guys
This is how many time the passenger beside the driver pulled the rope letting the tank release air to the compressor making air come out of the air horn 👇
Never understood windscreen. Screen is on windows and doors to allow summer breezes to flow through. They are windshield wipers, because it shields you from the wind.
Where im from we turn off siren when theres no traffic ahead. As a driver, im the one operating lights and sound while my officer takes care of radio and helps reading gps maps so i can focus on my driving. Your officer is really loud, but the driver in this video is excellent! Best regards from a norwegian firefighter abroad
Well that is stupid, I was always told to pull over when I was younger and learning to drive. I still do it many yrs later today. I have a bumper sticker on my car that reads No one ever said you need a brain to drive. You should see all the dirty looks I get from people. Lol
I'm sure a lot of the air horn was because they're the second truck, and it's not always clear where the siren noise is coming from, so people may think they emergency vehicle has passed and not look behind them again before pulling out.
@@lbn1188 A lot of people freeze up and panic because they're trying to get out of the way but don't know the right way to go, many videos of people trying to avoid but end up turning the wrong way
Idk about you man, but I feel like every time you hop in that truck might be your last day alive. We all have our ways of coping with high stress situations
What's up with all the honking when there's no vehicle up ahead like at 0:52 or 2:30? I don't know how you usually handle it, but in these situations I probably wouldn't have switched the siren on at all
ok so as a child we all want to blow horns mostly firetrucks and semi-trucks so you get to do it everyday AND ITS LEGAL IMA LAY ON IT IMA PULL DA CHAIN OUT THE ROOF
@@Gamerboy-gy1rl I like using the cool and loud stuff as well, but I don't when it's not necessary. I had several night shifts now and didn't use any siren at all
Yeah, he's blowing the horn a lot - they're encountering vehicles that aren't stopping or getting out of the way, or are approaching from side streets, and the fire truck is going through red lights and stop signs.
"What's your job?"
"I honk on a firetruck"
"Really, just that?"
"Well... I also help fight the fire when we get there, but that's not the main part"

Was thinking, boy does that all look familiar. Then when you all passed the Pink Elephant, then saw the Rt 60 West sign. Visit my son down there 3-4 times a year. Good job getting there.
I liked the horn of the fire truck
It is very very loud fire truck. From Richard Boucher.
Jordan Kim More than likely Grover Air Horns
Sounds like a elephant
ericthesoldier they’re beefy beefy airhorns! My departments new engines horns I haven’t heard cause I haven’t ran any calls on it. More or less ran Mutual aid because those calls happened when I was available.
@@centralnewyorkresponses7887 what type are they
I bet that's the passenger's favorite job is pulling on the horn haha Kidding, love the men and women that hold the Red Line!
I miss those days going Code three with lights sirens and blowing the air horns. I can't believe how things have changed since I was a volunteer fireman
Thank you
"responding to a small kitchen fire?" I have tears in my eyes I'm laughing so much. thank you! I really needed that.
One of the safest, most profesional response videos I've watched, especially as it started raining during the run, but most guys on here including the keyboard warriors are upset about a horn getting honked too much! Go figure.....
we don't have an additional horn, we don't need one either. On such emtpy roads most of us would probably kept the siren off as well and only switched it on when necessary
This response time was horrible in my city FF got to the fire in less then two minutes 12 Ppl dead and we have by far the best FF in the nation FDNY #TRUMP2020
Move out of the way of a responding engine, ladder, rescue squad or command vehicle. Someone's life could be in danger.
Latin Lettuce That’s because in NYC there’s station every 5-10 miles. Some cities don’t have the funds or the manpower to do that.
???? nobodies mad about shit. People just find it funny how much he's yanking on it.
Thanks My first firetruck ride at age 37.
6:02 👏👏👏👏 LOL he was so fed up with people not stopping he nearly ripped the airhorn cord off of the ceiling..!
The q and air horn is the best thing about driving
We shall create a gofindme to buy him a huge compressor!
Haha the man pulling the horn is something I’d do whatever it takes for them to get faster and keep other drivers safe is 🙌🏼
Damn! I never heard a Q go that high in pitch. I thought only Philadelphia Fire Trucks have that very high Q pitch.
sean vogt my city’s Q’s can. IDK if they dictate the usage of the Q in my city.
You should see argentinian Fire trucks, some of fire trucks can reach a lot of high pitch XD
its the echo against other vehicles driving by, aswell as buildings. Its the Doppler effect.
Bruh that’s a 28 not a q
@@Thunderbolt_7026 nah broski, that’s a Q2B. The older models sound similar to the 28’s
I don’t know why...but that brings me happy tears to see the fire chief having a good old blast on that horn
Have to say I love the horn usage! Nice job! 😊
4:44 bro was pulling the horn so hard it stopped working 😂😂
I don't see the issue with the excessive air horn use. going through the residential neighborhood at the end was a bit excessive and typically my company runs with no sirens or horns in places like that. HOWEVER, as we saw at the beginning of the video, drivers tend to associate 2 sirens with one vehicle. in this instance, where two trucks are driving in tandem, drivers may associate the two siren tones to one rig. i've seen it a lot where we'll be driving in tandem like that, and a car will pull out right in front of us. it's usually older folks but still. the use of the air horn isn't hurting anything, cmon now.
dude, at the end he was in an open field and blew the horn with no one around
Moon Scar You never know when a careless squirrel or similar mammal will dart across the road. #livesmatter! Best to be overcautious and blow that horn eh?
Low call volume dept or volunteer's overly excited...Excessive Air horn = come outside and look at me !
you dont nide to be rude to the firedps in the world the nedd to be fast on the fire sene
god comit
I was laughing my ass off with my man pulling on the horn and I came to comments seeing everyone notice it too HAHAHAHHA. I really thought I'd be the only one.
Nice video brothas.
All firefighters are heroes. In America and The Netherlands, all over the world !!!
very awesome response, great siren and airhorn work to get to a house fire safely. up in rhode island we do have Q sirens, when i was an acting officer for a volunteer dept i'd always start the electronic siren, then blast the Q if theres alot of traffic but great response guys
I love the Manual Operation from the airhorns!!
These are the men of the Barboursville Volunteer Fire Department located at 721 Central Ave
Barboursville, West Virginia.
Great video love watching it. Do more ride along videos I be watching
6:05 the passenger almost pulls the horn from the roof 😆😆😆
I dont know about the rest of you guys but i get the chivers when a fire truck goes by, when two go by right after eachother; i go numb.
Im back 1 year later and found my own comment.
Wow the amount of people that fail to pull over is amazing
I mean, if the lane is open and he has room to pass without having to go around anyone and isn't being obstructed; I don't really see the issue.
@@blazzing_fury2425 because you never know which way he will go and not to mention it's the law.
that looks like so much fun pulling the horn
My God, I can’t believe how far how far they’re going.
Yeah, 7 minutes to a structure as first due? Then they get on scene, and not a bit of smoke showing?
really good video i thought really like the ride along good job on the Siren and horn keep it up keep doing more of these. hi from PA
wow what a cozy little town that is, anyone would want to live there
This is how many time the passenger beside the driver pulled the rope letting the tank release air to the compressor making air come out of the air horn
👇
Dude pullign that horn looks like a blast
the windscreen wipers going at different speeds would drive me insane
yah
Just ruined the vid for me
Never understood windscreen. Screen is on windows and doors to allow summer breezes to flow through. They are windshield wipers, because it shields you from the wind.
I just recently applied for firefighter training and I seriously hope I get in. This is my passion!
Did you get in?
How's it going. You get in?
you got in or something ?
9/10 needs more horn
Good job clearing, those intersections. Nice stuff 🙌🏻🔥💯
That town knows when to pull over on the side of the road not every town or city does
Where im from we turn off siren when theres no traffic ahead. As a driver, im the one operating lights and sound while my officer takes care of radio and helps reading gps maps so i can focus on my driving. Your officer is really loud, but the driver in this video is excellent! Best regards from a norwegian firefighter abroad
well in Norway you are indeed taught to keep the siren off when it's not necessary to use it. Much better than in many other countries IMO
I got a fever, and the only cure is... more air horn.
Timothy Greene damn right!
More Air Horn! As a former first responder it was great to see the view from the cab and see how people that were not smart ie: Ford truck guy!
5:38 oh my f***ing God he is going ham
CAP IS KILLIN' THAT HORN!!!😂
Never saw it take someone so long to get to a structure fire, I'm a volunteer and we get there faster than that
volunteers also have their own vehicles that are much faster than a big rig...
America: We use 2 different sirens and the horn to get attention
Europe: 1 airhorn doing 2 tones and everybody moves
Damn 7 minutes to get there, house done burnt down.
Thanks for getting there fast
People should learn to pull over when you have a fire truck coming at you
KevynJ4838 the law states they aren’t required to its a “if they want to be respectful” which I think is bullshit
Well that is stupid, I was always told to pull over when I was younger and learning to drive. I still do it many yrs later today. I have a bumper sticker on my car that reads No one ever said you need a brain to drive. You should see all the dirty looks I get from people. Lol
I know here in Michigan it's a state law
I'm sure a lot of the air horn was because they're the second truck, and it's not always clear where the siren noise is coming from, so people may think they emergency vehicle has passed and not look behind them again before pulling out.
@@lbn1188 A lot of people freeze up and panic because they're trying to get out of the way but don't know the right way to go, many videos of people trying to avoid but end up turning the wrong way
Rumor has it. Once that truck returned in service, the water tank was removed and a new, much much larger compressor and air tank were installed. Lol
Can't people hear sirens???? Especially when you run max Q for a full 50 seconds!!! Watch @2:40.
They were in the oncoming lane, and theres a divider
Thanks jimmy and crew
bruh those wipers were triggering my ocd
If I was the horn guy I’d be yelling at the top of my lungs “toot toot toOoOoOoOotTt” just to annoy the guys
Sure is a fidgety captain. Should I keep moving my helmet or keep blowing the horn.
Idk about you man, but I feel like every time you hop in that truck might be your last day alive. We all have our ways of coping with high stress situations
What's up with all the honking when there's no vehicle up ahead like at 0:52 or 2:30? I don't know how you usually handle it, but in these situations I probably wouldn't have switched the siren on at all
ok so as a child we all want to blow horns mostly firetrucks and semi-trucks so you get to do it everyday AND ITS LEGAL IMA LAY ON IT IMA PULL DA CHAIN OUT THE ROOF
@@Gamerboy-gy1rl I like using the cool and loud stuff as well, but I don't when it's not necessary. I had several night shifts now and didn't use any siren at all
@@EnjoyFirefighting that's the key letter *I* everyone prefers different things huge fan btw.
Yeah, he's blowing the horn a lot - they're encountering vehicles that aren't stopping or getting out of the way, or are approaching from side streets, and the fire truck is going through red lights and stop signs.
