OMG!!! NO way!!! Twice in one video you didn't go left at the intersection. This is a very rare video where we get to see the rest of the district. LOL, Nice videos.
I like the compilation of calls from your shift. It gives us an idea of what kind of calls and when you have to respond. I also like the camera above the ambulance lightbar. If the alarm-drop had been in an area where there were no hydrants, what equipment would have responded first?
James Cyr Thanks for watching James! No, there is no specific SOP for siren sound usage. Everyone uses it differently, often times at random. The State where I began my career had very strict and specific laws regarding siren usage, in particular what sounds were legal (only 2 sounds were legal Wail and Yelp) and in what specific situations you had to use the different sounds. That quickly became a habit that I continued when I moved to this area. However for me, I’ve gradually changed that habit (although I definitely have a tendency to revert back to it without even thinking about it) and with the multiple siren sounds available I try to change them up more with situations such as traffic conditions or speed, to make the siren more effective. Other times I’m not as focused on the sound, such as when a dispatcher is giving a report or our crew is discussing a plan of action, then the siren stays in one mode for long periods of time.
On the Delaware side of the border, paramedic crews come from a County run ALS agency. They respond in “chase units” and bring ALS equipment with them. Fire Depts operate BLS ambulances and handle transport and BLS care.
@@SpeedbirdFF we got here in germany a system, called "first responder". In the most cases it is 100% volunteer and only a normal car with an off-duty paramedic. He responds with medical Equipment to the call and at the same time is a on-duty ambulance responding for the transport. But in the most cases, the first responder is quicker at the scene. Is this system like yours, or did I missunderstand this? Thanks for your feedback ☺️
Jackson Rigney Delmar stays fairly busy, this last year overall has been very busy, we were running 8, 9, even 10 or more calls for a while. I would say 6 is our average. I’m also in a fairly rural area so 6 a day is considered to be a busy station. My volunteer station is very slow, we can go a week or more without a call.
I love the way you film the responses !
Andy Thank you Andy!
6:30 I literally yelled "holy shit, stop" at that silver SUV that insisted on rolling forward haha
2:18+ awesome siren usage :)
RTobi (Rummeltobi) 👍 thanks!
Really Like your Channel Thank you for your Dedicated Service Stay Safe..
Thank you very much!
@@SpeedbirdFF Your Very Welcome.
Great content and videos... Keep up the good work! And keep em coming👍
Awesome Video as Usual! I Love Response Videos, especially when They are Filmed from Inside the Truck!
Johnny Bryant Thank you Johnny!
@@SpeedbirdFF You're Welcome! Hope You do some More Response Videos from Inside 74-2 and 74-5 Soon.

Thank you Bruce! Engine-Tanker 74-2 would respond first in a non-hydrant area, it has more water.
They have a tanker / pumper for a first out engine for a call in those areas ( holds around 2500 gallons of water I do believe)
Ive noticed whenever you guys get on route 13 (I have family in Delaware I know the roads well) you use the powercall siren
Is that SOP?

I'm From Frederick Maryland and i Volunteer out of New Market. Great video Stay safe out there! also what county is this station located?
Pat Smat Thanks Pat! Sussex County, Delaware & Wicomico County, Maryland, dually dispatched.
@@SpeedbirdFF copy that thanks
I just have one question - not armchairing anything - but does this station brake for train crossings?
What is the spinning thing on the front of the engine? I used to know what it was called, but I'm drawing a blank.
Robert hentschelmann Officially it’s called a Roto-Ray, most commonly referred to as a pinwheel.
cool
sanantonioFIRE satx Thank you sanantonioFIRE!
nice
Mosab JJJ Thanks Mosab!
You are an ambulance, well. But what ist the "als chase unit, sussex medic 102" for?

@@FlorianNuernberg Yes, this sounds like a very similar system!
@@SpeedbirdFF thank you! Bye the way: Very nice work, keep going ☺️👍
Idiots should get their license suspended for life if they can't stop for emergency vehicles with lights flashing and sirens screaming
Kinda busy eh? My department gets 6 calls a week haha but we are somewhat rural and are volunteer. We also don’t have live ins

Seriously? stop and take the time to reverse into a space upon arrival?
Yeah maybe because the hospital is back in the other direction? Try thinking critically for once.
@@scottgreer6380 Drop the medic off then reverse in.
@@SinkyYT That's what the chase vehicle is for.
ok keyboard paramedic, let the professionals do their job nobody needs your dumb ass comment.
