This is a condensed edited version, & I bet they tried to cut his yelling out as much as possible, but the one announcer named Artie Susskind from Bayshore gets a bit over excited when he announces.
I've never in my life have I seen such a "activity" as this.Race cars, Ladders and Men Dressed like Baseball Players. I am going to assume those ladders are light weight?
Since the 1930's various (over 100) volunteer fire departments from across NY state have raced teams with motorized speed skill contests, called "drlls." More unique & exciting than softball or bowling. Yes, those ladders are regulation sized 25 ft aluminum racing ladders built & inspected to racing committee specs.
First time viewing this awesome sport, but y'all ain't tellin' us the TIME'S!!! Damn, y'all got me fully drawn in and I WANT MORE INFO! I saw a TH-cam short of 3guys carrying ladders with hooks climbing 3 levels! Where can I find that boys? This is kinda pissin' me off with ALL THE SLIPS! Says the first time viewer, who thinks he can do better! 🤔😆
I grew up watching Fire Dept racing. This video was screwed up for many reasons. The commentators failed to say who most of the teams were or their times.
Why was I not aware of this!!!? lol I never knew this even existed. Not to mention that they all have custom trucks too. At first I thought It was a single truck specially built for this. then i noticed it was a different truck every run.
I appreciate these videos, but I'm going to offer some constructive criticism - 1) hire an audio engineer 2) Tell us what we can't see ( the name of the team) rather than telling us what we can see for ourselves. That's a job for a radio broadcast.
This is a condensed version of only the actual runs. The full version (almost 12 hours) has all of the introductions, times, testing, and down time between each event, plus commercials from local supporters.
Okay gotta ask... 26minute Mark... what is the dude running behind the car doing (not the hydrant or nozzle team) looks like another team member running behind the starting line.
For the motorized contests: The 2nd man is the anchor man, holding some slack in the hose for the hydrant man, who pulls the stick after twisting on the hose.
Standard hose couplings in National or NY thread. Most teams tape the spinning portion of the female coupling to maintain control and perform quick movements.
This is 8 hrs of racing involving over 50 fire departments in 8 different speed skills contests, condensed & edited for time. NY State Fire depts race to prove who's the fastest & bravest fire department team, as nationally featured on ABC's World Wide of Sports in 1977 which can be seen here: th-cam.com/video/bzsYLRBwcIY/w-d-xo.html
Hey guys if any of the people that make these trucks try using an ls platform with a supercharger nitrous set up or a TwinTurbo nitrous set up both with a 2step System
the part when the car braked and the members started to ladder to the high gantry. its dangerous because someone may fail to get off the car and hit to the ground. they r not circus entertainers. what is simulated by the series of the movements?
Why don’t the police have a competition like this… like swat teams could compete on how fast and efficiently they clear a building… or bomb squads could compete.
chris but... why do they use hyper mega ultra wide front tires? If they wanted to reduce weight, they would use super mega ultra crazy narrow tires like Top fuel dragster’s one
Fire dept drill racing to prove who's the fastest & bravest fire department team, popular in New York state, featured on ABC's World Wide of Sports in 1977.

Too bad they don't include the following. 1. How to get Tank Water on burning material Quickly and Safely to Protect victims and firefighters Before they go in to Play hero! Try to eliminate the threat is less than one minute! 2. How to Protect victims with a Fire Blanket and Buddy Breather. Oh wait, the Buddy Breathers don't even exist and heroes don't have time for blankets! Protect and Serve? 3. How to vent fire room windows to release the pressurized heat and smoke away from victims instead of climbing on the roof to cut holes and draw the heat Through the house and over the victims and turn a contents fire into a structural fire. How about a Real Fire Fighting Competition instead of tricks they won't do at a fire anyway?
@@Suedeman I won't find it there either. The American fire service doesn't understand what the JOB is. Climbing on the roof of a burning building and running into them without first knocking down the fire with tank water is childish at best. UL and ISFSI have it all figured out and nobody listens. Why? Because doing the JOB right takes all the Fun and Rush out of it. Or, they Follow their leaders instead of thinking for themselves and debating tactics with them. One ignorant and irresponsible person tells 10,000 Followers what to think and do and you end up with...…......…...…….
29,705 fire department's in the united states and you have seen every one of them fight enough fires to know exactly how they operate. That's impressive.
@@mikeabner5935 I've been watching random fire videos for the past 12 years and I know the American work ethic. That proves to me that 95% of American departments have no clue what the job is or how to do it.
@@JB91710 well your comments prove your overall ignorance of the subjects. Transitional fire attack is a common tactic in the United states. I have never used an scba that wasn't outfitted with a buddy breather. Instead of spending 12 years watching random videos I have spent 10 years in the fire service and I have never once performed vertical ventilation. My dept prefers hydrostatic ventilation with a interior handling usually preformed AFTER or in conjunction with an exterior attack often with a 2.5in hand line. As far as your comment about the American work ethic I'll just put that down to typical European arrogance. The simple fact is there are terrible fire departments everywhere and there's more than one way to do things.
I have no clue what I'm watching but I love it.
merica Fire departments
new york volunteer firemen* it’s the state drill
@@literallyjustevan69 your wrong. Only found in New York.
@@drillteamguy3290 He said NY. Did you mean NYC?
You’re watching The 2018 NYS Championship Drill Highlights
The team at 1:21 we're all in full synchronization from the lil body bob at the beginning to the same exact footsteps
they were Really on fire
I love watching this but the audio when they start yelling is just ear splitting
Dude, just right after I read your comment... is when they started yelling. Holy sh!t...it sure was ear-splitting.
New Yorkers in general lol

i remeber this stuff on long island,Baldwin..it was a serious deal back then for what FD was the best..i was maybe 5/7 years old!! gret stuff
I've never in my life have I seen such a "activity" as this.Race cars, Ladders and Men Dressed like Baseball Players.
I am going to assume those ladders are light weight?
I have no idea what's going on or how this became a thing lol. Is it rooted in firefighting?
@@i-never-look-at-replies-lol most of these teams come from Volunteer Fire Departments. Real big on Long Island

this was way more entertaining than an F1 race
How is this not a national sport… like can you imagine states competing against each other?
56:32 is a thing of beauty. Great job guys
That was damn beautiful indeed. Wow
First time ever seeing this kind of thing. Would you mind explaining what made this one so good?
@@Redman147 you mind explains to
Me why it’s good idk what I’m suppose to be looking at
What happend?
The anouncer's scream broke me xd "TTTTIIIMMMEEE-"

this is just the highlights from it you can find the live stream which has the whole event and times her th-cam.com/video/AbgA8mmCWaA/w-d-xo.html
DAMB that dude commentating on the red team just woke my wife up!!! "DAAAAAAAM HE GOT IT STARTED" noise level 100 !
I remember this being on Wide World of Sports 50 years ago.
Why was I not aware of this!!!? lol I never knew this even existed. Not to mention that they all have custom trucks too. At first I thought It was a single truck specially built for this. then i noticed it was a different truck every run.
10:50 “No he- NO WAY! THAT WAS A GRAB?!“
I can just imagine how fucking fantastic and chaotic this would be in a real life fire situation...🤣🤣
If my country's fire dept had these guys and vehicles, we won't be able to cook with fire. They are that fast
1:56 my god i love this commentator
Im just now discovering this and i’m mad i didn’t know about it before
Funny I was looking for compilations like this, and this one is from New York State? Even better . Explains the commentators enthusiasm lmao.
For the folks unlike myself, who are seeing this for the 1st time, please laugh with discretion at 34:39 ... lol
Thank you for this. Not all heros wear capes.
What’s happening then?
i woke up to this playing… i watched the rest of it lol that was a fun watch
I love the commenters, 27:30 - “somebody stinks up here” hahahaha
This sports should be included in the Olympics
Don’t no how I ended up here but this is cool so am staying for more

Stretching warmup exercise sprint
36:10 cartwheel fail. Edit: in the back
I see it
Why am I just finding this
I have no idea what this is but I enjoyed it.
Dude I reallly wish I could have one of those racing trucks
Why is the person running when the cars start driving??
I don’t see a point in the stick person, for when they run with the hose in the hand. Like they keep making it worse for the person connecting it
For the motorized contests: The 2nd man is the anchor man, holding some slack in the hose for the hydrant man, who pulls the stick after twisting on the hose.
What kind of fittings are on their hoses? Are those 2" Storz, or some other kind of quick-connect fitting?
Standard hose couplings in National or NY thread. Most teams tape the spinning portion of the female coupling to maintain control and perform quick movements.

I enjoyed watching the spectators getting hosed 😂
Best part
What time stamp?
Y😊😊
Y😊😊
I just came for the race like firetrucks. Now I'm 55 minutes in and trying to get a yellow t shirt.
апвоут?
48:10 Ryan Kessler got screwed. He had first water
The Diggers HAVE A DOPE race car looking engine. Then I saw more like that. It must be different divisions. HUH? HEY! When does the clock start guys?
Most of the camera angles sucked :/
The bucket challenges have to be my favorite
Hey guys if any of the people that make these trucks try using an ls platform with a supercharger nitrous set up or a TwinTurbo nitrous set up both with a 2step System
Also put Wellwood’s and handbrake on so h can stop better
Also umm hit me up for my pay roll hah I think I am hot shit
Shut up you fuckin loser
Cappin No U
Shout out to the “Dansville zoombas” they were my favorite pants for years until I wore them out
the part when the car braked and the members started to ladder to the high gantry. its dangerous because someone may fail to get off the car and hit to the ground. they r not circus entertainers. what is simulated by the series of the movements?
Old school hopping off an engine
Why don’t the police have a competition like this… like swat teams could compete on how fast and efficiently they clear a building… or bomb squads could compete.
😊
16:55 one of them FLEW🤣
I laughed for like 30 mins at this , holy fuck 😂😂😂
1:23:57 that’s exactly how long it takes my local fire dept to hook up a line!!😜🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️😂
48:46 hub shirts?
Do they ever fall? I can't find any videos! Lol
16:55 right there
I just found out this was a thing and I am interested in trying it
enjoyed watching
This was so fun!
0:35 is the funniest thing ever. Guy is a clown.
Why is this recommended to me? I'm lost, please send help.
My palms are sweaty..
Are those cars AWD?
No
I think they are
Definitely not
chris but... why do they use hyper mega ultra wide front tires? If they wanted to reduce weight, they would use super mega ultra crazy narrow tires like Top fuel dragster’s one
Dave Park Bc they need to stop so a bigger contact area helps with dragging the car and of course stopping it
I think they need to do less pre drinking
I’d always assumed this was Australian or something…
I’m Levittown
It’s were I live
Damn the editor to make compilation that long
awesome
Really shit camera angles😂😂 looks like fun though
Odd, at a real fire they just stroll around
Who else saw this on TikTok?
Jk don’t
But stop
WTF is this!? ive never heard of this

What?
@@drillteamguy3290 you won't got it haha
