@tornadofreak1994 The tones on the radio set off the pagers worn by the responders, each set of 2 tones activates a specific unit/stations pagers. Pagers go off, then function as a one way radio so that the responders can hear the location to respond to, reason of response, and copy down directions... all depending on local protocols for calling out responders.
thats an opticom system, it allows emergency vehicles such as a firetruck or ambulance or police to pass through the lights without having to be delayed.
not so much a town hall, its the municipal building, where they store the township trucks. this fire happened just a few months before i joined the department, i was in the area the day this happened
Working fire are always fun specialy when its a rush. because when we have working fire all the boys are ready and let me tell you were all over the place fighting the blaze and we leave all together hoping that we don't get injured in those crazy blaze.... good job on the video i like it
I hear the Q. I know on all our trucks the Q is on the officer side of the truck. It seems to let off every 30 secs or so, but I agree that he needs to hit the big red switch that says "Siren Brake" every now and then.
@tornadofreak1994 the wiseling is the SCBA (there air unit) going off...... if you dont move for 30 sec ( i belive) it gose off and gets louder if you dont respond to it ..... its to help people find you if you get traped in the building .. it also sounds if you are running low on air... hope this helps :)
I agree with Ctsws6 , in a moment like that even the most seasoned veteran needs a second to determine everything he's goona need at the scene... A million descions need to be made in a matter of seconds
@clarka97 From the look of the video given off by the second camera, I think it's a helmet cam. The audio's WAY too muffled, and it bouces around like its on someones head Cheers
What was the caus of this fire? How did it get through the roof so fast? Did you guys bail out on the roof work? I heard some thing about a hole in it and that's not good? You made good time in the rain. I bet you like that Opticom (mirt)! I live in Minnesota home to 3M. FD's around hear use opticom dose some thing kepps green or make it green for emergency units. We even have the white indicator or command lights on the light poles. Thks for sharing. BE SAFE!
Yes that is was you were seeing flashing on the traffic signals. Some of the systems have a visual warning system so you know if you have the priority.
yea but still did you hear when they started to go on the roof? their poles were poking holes in it. Idk bout you but I wouldnt wanna walk on something that unstable.
The reason was for traffic on the other side of the road to see that a fire truck was going to a fire so its better for all crews in a fire truck to respond
The reason was that there was a worming fire at the whitehall municipal building but there was a smoke investigation thats why there were so many tones
4:01 - "I don't know if I'm ready for that!" Ha! Guess what, sweetheart, riding in the jump seat of truck company on the way to a working fire isn't the time to figure that out.
lol the side of firefighters the public doesnt know. whenever we hear the words flames showing everyone gets super excited. as showin by the "fuck man holy shit guy" which is then followed by everyone laughing. if only the general public knew how crazy we all really are haha
Inside the cab Response + helmet cam = Beautiful action.

I love the reaction when they hear that a working structure fire has been confirmed.

LOL. Their reaction at knowing that they had a "worker" is priceless! True smoke eaters! Stay safe!

"there is fire showing"...
"FUCKING A!!!!"
lmao that was priceless
LOL "There is fire showing." "F*cking A!" LOL It sounds like our ladder when we go to a working fire!
You have the best videos, keep them coming please.
This is a great video, thanks for uploading
Great Action. It deomnstrates once again firefighters' bravery.
best vid so far great job
i've been a call like this quite recently
I hear the Q. I know on all our trucks the Q is on the officer side of the truck. It seems to let off every 30 secs or so, but I agree that he needs to hit the big red switch that says "Siren Brake" every now and then.
Nice bit of driving in this vid......u should come to my town and teach some of our guys how to drive safe like that
These 2 sirens make the best mix.
Sounds like once you guys heard of a confirmed fire, everyone got pretty excited.
very nice vid. Great response guys and gals if you dont mind me asking it to were you got your helmet cam.
There's a button in the truck that change the light from red to green, or so it stays on green. It's called a mirt.
OPTICOM SYSTEM
Almost as exciting as it was the first time!
Love the video and Q. Never good to hear an incident commander say uhhhhhh over the radio.
we need more of these videos 3611
Good thing you sounded the roof, She said it went right through!
dude if my department was this busy in one day we'd probably be in trouble
Thats the kind of crew I would want, ready to go and happy about it.

The noise was from a leaking high pressure connection at the cylinder. You are thinking of a pass device.
Firtog you have rhe best videos when it comes to responding apparatus!1
How do you do it?
@losboog22 another question, are the tones on the actual radio just ment to get your attention
That funny,
"Numerous calls recieved on the township building, fire showing."
"Fucking A!"
I agree with Ctsws6 , in a moment like that even the most seasoned veteran needs a second to determine everything he's goona need at the scene... A million descions need to be made in a matter of seconds
Quick response good job boys
That guy that said fucking a or fuck yeah is going to be me on my first fire
@losboog22 thanks

Nice video! Thx for sharing!
awesome video
i love it when we get conferemd repoerts of fire showing
I know 3502 personally, he is not panicing. All FF are adrenaline junkies, and he got a huge adrenaline dump.

LIGHTNING STRIKE
Great Video!
1:06 " fuck yeahh! " haha (:
very nice video
I would guess the camera ended pointed everywhich way, not seeing exactly what he was looking at :o
Are those Opticoms you guys have on your traffic lights?
Yes that is was you were seeing flashing on the traffic signals. Some of the systems have a visual warning system so you know if you have the priority.
thanks for ettin me know where whitehall is what station are you at
what state is this? cool vid
I like how the one guy says "wholy shit!" after there is fire showing
what system do u guys use for the traffic lights?
OPTICOM SYSTEM
@firtog oh ok, lol i knew for a fact he didn't say fuch yeah though
yeah great video guys.. good driver too
@gfd4550 a firefighter that has been on the job for a long time, like my LT
@tubesteakdynamo Says the "Man" with a nickname of tubesteakdynamo. Keep rocking the "Grown Up" there bro.
yea but still did you hear when they started to go on the roof? their poles were poking holes in it. Idk bout you but I wouldnt wanna walk on something that unstable.
can anyone explain why there was a flashing light on the traffic light post at 2:23
The reason was for traffic on the other side of the road to see that a fire truck was going to a fire so its better for all crews in a fire truck to respond
Opticom traffic preemption system
@@lehighvalleyfirevids Opticom
was the place involved cause from the roof it looke like a tissue boc fire [in a way] stay safe Mike:)!
how can you hear who is on scene and whats going on over all those tones
Is the driver's foot stuck on the "Q" button?
Bad for the electrical system, bad for the siren clutch.
It freewheels so no problem with the clutch
@firtog we got hit for a kitchen fire the other night and then got hit for a fire alarm with the rescue engine
cool good video
What are all the different tones going off on the radio?
The reason was that there was a worming fire at the whitehall municipal building but there was a smoke investigation thats why there were so many tones
nice video stay safe
is that your department?
Thats pretty messed up...Tac channel on the Dispatch channel. Why didn't dispatch have units move to another channel? I hate that!
im pretty sure that he knows fire isnt good for you
i've never gone that fast down macauther road
@ACEG1646 he isn't saying fuck yeah, he is saying fucking A, as in he doesn't want to fight fire
nice response boys
are you guys paid or volunteer
Matthew Petkus volunteer I believe.
hell yeah fire run baby!
Did a lightning strike cause the fire?
yes
is that near
I remember my first fire!
Are you a firefighter?
4:01 - "I don't know if I'm ready for that!"
Ha! Guess what, sweetheart, riding in the jump seat of truck company on the way to a working fire isn't the time to figure that out.
Surprised that chassis wasn't spinning, that q was wound fucking tight
are you guys vouleenter if i spelled it correctly
Remember old days 18 going my 1st worker
i like it how the 1 guy screams fuck ya........same reaction i have wen i get a call
anyone else twitch when the PASS alarm was going off?
lol the side of firefighters the public doesnt know. whenever we hear the words flames showing everyone gets super excited. as showin by the "fuck man holy shit guy" which is then followed by everyone laughing. if only the general public knew how crazy we all really are haha
I'm a paid firefighter -EMT martinsburg Fire dept in west virginia
probies first fire huh?
How do you have a fire in the rain? Are you kidding me?
the proper way to use the Q is to stand on the damn thing through intersections....
....didn't do so well in school did you...
uh.. someone lacking some self confidence? I heard "im not ready" atleast 3 times. i was f*cking excited on my first worker
v-con yelp and q siren ohh yeaa
Why are the windshield wipers not operating??????????
u said it
Nice
1:04 Hell Yeah!
haha i thought that too about my station
No disrespect, but yall have a really bad camera person. They are trying to get the fireman and the fire at the same time.
second half sound life water the the mic
OR voice muffled from his SCBA / resparator
sweetheart likes to bark orders, thats what the front seat is for, plus shes screamin at the driver and they need to concentrate on truck placement
boing!!!!! numerous calls.. all hard ons up!!!!!!
hahah, its the best part of the video, we all think it i think
Some one has a dead batt.
DOY...you still need to check for other extension and other shit like that. DOY
