Our local PD, SO and DPS have even told us to run red and blues now despite state law because people stopped caring about red or red and white. It is pretty relaxed in some parts of Texas now. Oh and just keep it under 100mph, they dont enforce the 10 over rule for POV where I'm from.
Hi Dustin Amy I'm curious about why you have red and blue emergency warning lights on your car. Idk maybe that is the rules for your state but all I can say is that in my state of New Jersey we are only allowed to use eathier all blue emergency warning lights or a combination of blue and white emergency warning lights. Can you explain what the light laws are for your state and why you are allowed to have red and blue emergency warning lights that would be great thanks
Just curious how you can rub red blue and sirens are you a first responder? Or can all in your debt rub lights and sirens? We run blue but if I am coming from like a town over I can't switch them on until I'm in my county to respond code 2 I guess you could call it but we can't run res lights stop signs. Pretty strict in Illinois the only time I actually was able too was when we had a tornado and I basically responded code 3 behind a group of cops going about 80. Nice setup! Btw
Hes somewhere in texas every state as you should know by now has their rules. Texas is pretty relaxed on pov units, especially in rural areas. Although if I'm not wrong all units with lights need a siren in the state of texas. I can also bet hes not messed with being a scene commander
I live next to a fire marshal with pov in northern Illinois, hes really by state law only allowed to roll blue but has the mix of red and green for ems duties also. He said he's not allowed to roll siren in the state but horns are a gray area, has two twin trumpets that wig awg on off. Hes never had issues yet he is a marshal.
Aaron Smeal I'm about 5 minutes from my station depending how fast I go down my dirt road and pulling into traffic on the main road allow without using any lights.
Another nice response, even tho with the quality it looked like a Tornado was ahead of you in the beginning. :) another nice response. So i got a scanner for Christmas so i can tone into my fire department. They also started a Jr. firefighter thing and im old enough. I went down for a application, only the EMS director was there and he didnt know where the applications where xD so he took my information and said they were contact me in about 72 hours. two weeks later... nothing xD it stinks xD
Hey I'm a jr firefighter and it's fun just go back up there and tell them what happened or call the chief and schedule a day to get an application and he'll get one to you have fun it's great
I just got word today that i got accepted. I am in their Jr. Firefighter which is gonna start April 7th and then im also in their Jr. EMS which starts May 3rd. Its gonna be fun!
Hey, thanks for the video. I not see other people there - do you be the fastest all time? In other video from an other firefighter show law that you can drive very fast with light and siren - why do you also drove so slow? Or it is different if you use only light? What happend if you meet other fire apparatus or ambulance or police at crossing - how can drive first?
Theres a country in mid Indiana that allows blues with green for ems certified people, all have sirens. They usually find a way to pull a convoy when calls come out. Eh no one minds them everyone rather have the department show up within time then wait.
Just recently had a buddy of mine get pulled over in his POV while responding to the station, they assumed he was a kid impersonating a police officer, no actions taken or anything and I was just curious.
macyND local law enforcement knows who I have running code out of my Dept. I also have a strict set of guidelines and policies that are followed. Not to mention, my Suburban is adorned with FD decals and I don't pull people over. Other than that, the general public should assume that all vehicles that are running lights and siren are legit, could be detrimental if they don't. The impersonators always get caught... always.
Funny you mention that; brought back a good memory! 😂 Years ago I was responding in my POV (a retired Crown Vic CVPI, no lights/siren at the time; just running my hazards) directly to the scene of a mutual aide structure fire 🔥. Hit the freeway & had a State Hwy Patrol come up lights/siren in my rearview. At first I assumed she was heading to the fire as well. I slowed down just a little bit & she remained behind me... so I pull over. She comes up to the window & says “where are you headed so fast?” (I was only going about 15 over the speed limit & had my bunker pants on with remaining gear on the passenger seat). I replied “well ma’am you see that huge cloud of black smoke over there?! That’s where I’m headed!” She says something like well be careful & I’ll be headed to the scene also to speak with your chief & issue you a speeding ticket. Well she never showed up. Afterwards later that evening I called the state police barracks just to follow up & spoke with the commander. He was EXTREMELY apologetic for the stop, said I didn’t break any laws, & said that officer had been reprimanded!😳😳
In Missouri, we can run blue or blue/white to the front and anything we want to the sides and back. Chiefs (and technically anyone with an officer rank such as Lts and Capts although it's seldom done) can run red to the front as well. Missouri's law only specifies Forward facing. Technically, anyone in Missouri (as in non emergency services people) can run lights on the back of their vehicle (although they will get some hassle from LEOs if they do use them inappropriately)
I only have 1 railroad crossing to worry about when I respond and I've been stopped by it at least 4 times in the past year. It seems there's a direct connection between how important the call is and how slow the train is moving Haha
Typical ignorant comment ... regulations state by law if you run red lights or red and blue combo you have to have a audible warning device on as well... learn the laws before showing your ignorance

Ok, so I wasn't so conservative with the siren... I watched the first minute of the video and thought it was a different one.
If it was a brush fire why park in front of a brush truck?
Holy crap... people in Texas know what sirens are and they actually pull over for you...
n2ocharged , well yes and no.

Is this your new suburban? I hear 2 sirens.
i kinda wanna see pictures of the Deuce OR M5 off to the right of the station.. lol
Seems like such a long drive to the station for you.. Then again I'm a straight shot to mine. 5 minutes max with no lights or sirens.

I love those calls because I am always the first one to the station
great video as always
Dude do you ever make a truck that far from the station? Lol. That's quite a distance
Aaron Smeal I'm about 5 minutes from my station depending how fast I go down my dirt road and pulling into traffic on the main road allow without using any lights.
I live like 1/2 mile from my station
I live like 6-10 minutes away and get there
I live 10 minutes away and i’m always like the first at my station
im a soon to be volunteer firefighter would you recommend the stl siren for a few months until i can afford a better one such as a whelen or code 3
Just a recommendation.. Get as much training as you can first
Black Venom Paintball you should trie to get a code 3 vcon you can get them used for about 100-200

+Brocthegamer 13 I just got the application today, All i have to do is fill it out and give it back to them, then its the real waiting time :)
+TheCrazyGamer89 all that you have to do is go to their next meeting and theyll decide if they want to vote you on or not and what is your name
I'm a Jr. Firefighter as well, but it took almost over a year to get on bc they had so much going on! 😂 Be safe out there brother and have fun!
I just got word today that i got accepted. I am in their Jr. Firefighter which is gonna start April 7th and then im also in their Jr. EMS which starts May 3rd. Its gonna be fun!

we only run blues no sirens here. I can't imagine 6 or 7 sirens headed for the station in our town lol
Theres a country in mid Indiana that allows blues with green for ems certified people, all have sirens. They usually find a way to pull a convoy when calls come out. Eh no one minds them everyone rather have the department show up within time then wait.
Robert Boston we cant have blue or sirens in alabama. Only red, white, and amber
@@jamesluck2969 Which county is that? I'm a volunteer here in Indiana and state law prohibits the use of a siren on a POV.
Great videos and response. Curious, are you ever stopped by the Police while responding?
macyND why would I be stopped by the police?
Just recently had a buddy of mine get pulled over in his POV while responding to the station, they assumed he was a kid impersonating a police officer, no actions taken or anything and I was just curious.

Just a question has the fire dept always used red white and blue like the police
jonthan1985 howell Depends on your state different regulations
Which country is that? Is this Australia?
Patrick 17 states
What is POV and im with the sheriff's Explorer but i don't no what that is?
POV = Privately Owned Vehicle
+austins_creations also means point of view. so you can see what's ahead.
Point of view has nothing to do with what pov stands for in this sense .. it stand for personal owned vehicle or private owned vehicle
It sucks, volunteers in aus ARENT aloud sirens
You should park your truck in reverse so its easier and faster to pull out when you get a call out. Great video!
DorianTM why do I always find ya ......... ._. OH GAWD WHY
It don't work like that
What state are you in? The state of Illinois only lets FFs use blue lights not red/blues.
Texas
Ok thanks. :)
PA Firefighters can run blue lights, or blue/white. Red if you're a chief
In Missouri, we can run blue or blue/white to the front and anything we want to the sides and back. Chiefs (and technically anyone with an officer rank such as Lts and Capts although it's seldom done) can run red to the front as well. Missouri's law only specifies Forward facing. Technically, anyone in Missouri (as in non emergency services people) can run lights on the back of their vehicle (although they will get some hassle from LEOs if they do use them inappropriately)
Here in Ohio or at least our county, red is fire blue is law enforcement
I counted 5 railroad crossings, how often do you get stopped by a train?
+Patrick Boylan Not yet, but now that you said something.... I'll let you know.
I only have 1 railroad crossing to worry about when I respond and I've been stopped by it at least 4 times in the past year. It seems there's a direct connection between how important the call is and how slow the train is moving Haha
What siren are you using?
In this video, its a Code 3 model 3050 and an STL Final. I currently use a Galls ST160 and the Code 3 3050.
I know this video is old but damn that camera is terrible. The way it corrects itself and moves around makes me want to have a seizure lmao
I like pov videos ;)
All that you do is go tk their next meeting and they'll decide if they want to vote you on or not to and what is your name
I would have turned on the siren approaching the main road,never know when a vehicle is coming early in the morning
You should a ford explorer that be badass
Typical Whacker siren on a 3am when nobody is on the road
