Neighbours like, “wtf going on?”
They’re used to it by now! 😁😂
They are probably flushing the drugs like mad
Plot Twist The Neighbors are also Volunteers
Great set up. Made a great choice of buying the Touchmaster. Sweep clears intersections beautifully. There is another model called “TM4” which has a switch to play your favorite tone “Ultra Hilo” by itself.
Ill have to check it out!
Hey it’s Michael we are probably going to be cleaning hoses tomorrow
I’m currently on the fire service as a volunteer firefighter and this looks cool but in my state we can’t have sirens only lights
That looks dope I want to be a volunteer firefighter too some day right now I am 15
A department close to you may have a Junior/Explorer program. If you can, try to find out!
Talk to your local fire chief about an entry level Junior Firefighter program! It'll give you a HUGE head start in to our field of service!
Thank you for your future service, and welcome aboard, little brother!!
Nate Nance thanks for the help i will check a look at it after the Pandemic
I used to be a cadet Firefighter and I absolutely loved it , and now I am a firefighter and had built a very good reputation for myself. I hope that you succeed and make a good name for yourself
I’m 14 and I’m on my local VFD and I love it I joined when I was 13
There’s a local volunteer fire fighter, it has a nice set up with a rambler siren, that is so cool
Wish stuff like this would be allowed in Germany, once the parliament debated about green lights but they argumented: ,,Green lights on the streets would confuse the people and lead to accidents ''. Of course a green light on a car is more confusing and dangerous than a guy going 90 in a 30 zone (kmh)
Great setup , in Ontario canada were only allowed to have green lights but they still work most of the time a siren would be helpful.
In Quebec we are allowed nothing :/
@@HypnoticAbyss id be writing my mpp and mp
@@engineco.1494Saskatchewan dude here. Reds and sirens, and same emergency vehicle privileges from fire trucks are also applicable to POVS here.
@@johnarat9618 that's awesome 👌
@@engineco.1494So POVs here in Saskatchewan can bend the Traffic Safety Act here the same way fire trucks do. Pulling over is legally required.
I wish my state would allow us to run sirens in our POVs
I couldn't even imagine honestly...
Firefighter 1727 Oh wow... What state is that?
Which is the way it should be
My state doesn't allow sirens but our local cops don't care we all run them
I personally wouldn’t run white to the rear, in my opinion red and amber is good, and I would make some all red instead of red and white it does look pink lol, but all in all nice set up
I would do anything to be able to run another color but white. Our state only recognizes r/w for volunteer POV's. Id love to have blue tbh. lol
We can run RED/BLUE/Amber/WHITE/GREEN
@@drewdjjd398 Where im at in Pennsylvania were only allowed Blue and white, no white to the rear and no siren or horn. If you a chief or officer you can use red and white with a siren
@@RileyMunsie blue for fire? That's crazy
Texas can run any color! Depends on department, amber is always acceptable, red amber to the rear is a safe choice
Some places don’t allow civilian vehicles to have lights and sirens but I think that’s stupid if you are actually an emergency responder and on-route you encounter something.
He’s making sure he gets thanked for his service.
Absolutely….
I can 100% count on you to save our buildings!
Good you found a insurance company that will cover your pov as an emergency vehicle.
It surprisingly wasn’t an issue at all. I fully expected my rates to go higher than what they already were (because I was an 18 YO male) however, nothing like that…
Outrageously nice setup 😂!!
Tip: Set the patterns to flash only red and only white once the way they are flashing now it looks pink and cheap
@@08_crown_vic Not the setup anymore thankfully
That's a pretty cool setup I used 2 be a volunteer firefighter and in my own personal vehicle I was not allowed 2 use any lights or sirens I was only able 2 use my flashers/4-ways but I'd still have 2 pull over and stop and let my follows that r going 2 the same call as I was had 2 move 4 them but I was still slightly allowed 2 break some rules of the road we only had stop signs we're I was a firefighter at with every narrow roads and little 2 no shoulder but regular traffic were still supposed 2 yield 2 me when I was using my flashers 4-ways on because my chief said that acted like my red lights even though they were amber color lol be safe and careful my follow brother firefighter I got kicked off the team because I picked up a DUI that's why I'm not longer a firefighter I do regret it I miss being a fire fighter but with my new health issues no on will let me join there station in southern Oregon
I run Sound off lights and whelen carbide siren. I wouldn't run clear in the back because it blinds the driver. Run yellow in the back. I run red clear in the front interior bar. Red yellow in the front grill, led's in the headlights, tail lights, and backup lights and a rear interior lightbar with red and yellow with a traffic advisor arrow stick. I also run a 200 watt siren with a rumbler.
I’d slow the grill and front tag lights, they look white. You will get a better response from the public and wii look nicer. Other then that, very nice.
Thank you for everything you do respect
Best siren duo ever
Thanks man! They're my fav. lol
Oooh wow that's sooo cool!!!!
That’s great lighting you have on you’re truck
In Indonesia even though we volunteer, our tqpi is not obtained installing sirens and strobes in our personal vehicles😅
Puts more hours into setting up his lights and siren(s) than his actual training...
Spends his time writing a useless comment when he could be finding a better profile pic
Not true im a volunteer firefighter and hold Advanced Firefighter license and my personal vehicle looks like a FREAKIN CHRISTMAS TREE
Really great setup dude! I like it!
Awesome system! I see you’re a fellow WV brother! Greetings from Huntington!
Thank you sir! Always awesome to see fellow country folks
Chills ❤ ty for sharing
I’m a volunteer in Australia! Wish lights and sirens on personal vehicles were legal haha
Awesome brotha! They're hardly legal in the states honestly
In my state we need a license to run a 3 inch not flashing red lamp
State of Texas clearly states only two red lights front and back... are you exempt. Just curious
If you took the time to actually read the description, he’s not from Texas. His fire department is based in Elizabeth, WV. 🤦♂️
What brand and where did you get the grille lights? I bought some that looked just like those off of eBay in red/white, got them and tested them, and they were no where near that bright, in all honesty, they would have been better off in the trash. Yours seem much brighter
I have a bunch of different stuff. Everything but my sirens and speakers are just Amazon brand equipment. I don't see the point in putting a bunch of money into name brand stuff that does the exact same thing. I believe I actually also purchased those grille lights off eBay. We're you using the right gauge wire?
Buy whelen. Its obviously good
What are your thoughts about set up ions grille Rota beam dual reflections magnet with dominator rear on 2015 escape pov ems and additional side warning plus dou2 dash front warning avenger
❤️💙
Great set up the only down side to the amazon products is flashback
True... I have my driver one duct taped. Lol
So ... what are your EVOC (emergency vehicle operator) qualifications ie: training? In addition to that, what are your EVOC quals in your personal vehicle (ie; EVOC training in your specific personal vehicle ... 2WD vs. AWD vs. 4WD vs. vehicle type, etc)? Does your insurance company cover you when you're operating your personally owned vehicle (POV) as an emergency vehicle? What are the laws in your state regarding emergency lighting in private vehicles? Just curious, because this exact kind of thing has caused legal (and liability) problems for individual volunteers and their departments across the United States in recent years.
So, state of WV is pretty cut and dry with their EVOC qualifications. I took my EVOC almost 2 years ago through a local training company that does all of our firefighter qualifications. The messed up part of our EVOC is, you can take your EVOC in an ambulance and that qualify you to drive a fire truck. Thankfully, our department has certain SOP's put in place that says you must pass the EVOC and then be checked off on each piece of apparatus through a dedicated course. Also, if the truck has water, you must be able to pump that truck. In response to your question about the POV qualification, I did not have to take it in my truck but I did take it in an 19ton Engine. Vehicle type doesn't matter in this state. WV says a POV is a POV. No matter of vehicle type/make/model. When it comes to insurance, whenever i'm in my own vehicle, it is my insurance that will take the hit if I would have an accident. Department makes it very clear that they are not reliable if something happens. Only time the department is responsible is for when there is a misuse of lights or siren. State of WV requires 360 lighting, and an audible warning device on all vehicles. Only allowing the use of red, white, & yellow lights. I'm super surprised our state is one of the few that allows us to do this. It is a bunch of liability and can very easily make your station look bad if not careful.
Yep!
Outrageously
Hey bud, I just need like one simple red light and siren. I even thought about using a train horn?
I wish we were aloud lights and sirens in our personal vehicles here in utah☹️
Wish you had all you lights linked I really like them there are tons to choose from but really expensive
That’s for sure
You really need to slow the lights down… it will all look better once you do…
Whole new different setup now brotha!
Based on his window sticker it looks like he's a fellow West Virginia Volunteer.
Yes sir! 👊🏻
@@NathanielTexas I'm a member of Cora volunteer fire department in Logan County.
What state do you live in? Florida won't even allow us to run lights
West Virginia
I’m assuming that you’re a captain or higher. Or does W.Va. allowall volunteers to use full emergency warning systems in their pov’s?
Your last statement is correct. State of WV says any volunteer with FF1 and EVOC can have lights and a warning device
@@NathanielTexas same here in KY. Backup runs for a City Fire or EMS service also allow for red/white lights w/ a siren.
What console do you have?
Do they give you lights or do you have to buy all that separately?
Buy them separate
Hey im a volunteer firefighter in holiday lakes in goodrich i would like to know where you kenwood cb and your touchmaster delta
I purchased the Kenwood from eBay and had it programmed, the siren was through TheFireHallFleaMarket on FB marketplace
I thought fire fighters can o lay have reds and white ??
Depends on state laws and department guidelines
Flashing white in the back is not allowed in louisiana
Do you do all the wiring yourself or do you have a guy? If you did it yourself, where did you learn? I'd like to learn so I can do at least some of my lights myself
The only thing I had someone help me do was tap into my fuse box because I wasn’t exactly sure how to do that. Other then that, I ran the wires, hid them, mounted the lights, grounded, mounted the speakers, etc. Just played around with stuff, watched a few basic electric 101 videos and it worked out pretty well! :))
Really nice
Me and my cousin are going to do volunteer fire then go into full time any tips
I want a touchmaster so bad lol
Im in love with mine!
Sirens are illegal though
Why do the fire volunteers like trucks?
I'm more personally a Ford Explorer guy but I just own a truck. lol
Are u a undercover cop
Nope!
Someone bought lights at Temu!
I am planing on being a volunteer, I heard you have yo wits 6 months before you can add lights, anywho, do you like it? I think it would be awesome to help the community
Congratulations on your choice. It’s definitely a very rewarding job. I’m not sure what your states/department policies are so I couldn’t even begin to tell you buddy
Nathaniel Texas ok thanks! Imma go to the meeting/training Tuesday and see what it’s about
Cool
What kind of lights do you have where did you get them at ?
I didn't see the point in spending a lot of money on high tech branded stuff whenever the Amazon products are just almost as effective. So, that is where I pulled majority of my stuff
May i recommend on your split red/white lights that you flash the red and white separately. Cause the white over powers the red and it's looks like a pink light. Just saying
I actually noticed that when I recorded this. I'm not happy with the amount of patterns on my visor lights truthfully. I'm probably going to switch back to the pattern where the r/w are split on each visor
Nathaniel Texas I was about to comment that lol, blinding white at night and I think people wouldn’t recognize it as an emergency vehicle
Which siren out of those 2 is cheapest?
The Galls was definitely cheaper. Just because it doesn’t come anywhere close to the same capabilities as the Federal Signal. Between the lighting capabilities, light bar options, the 1-2-3 lighting option for rear and front lighting displays. I’m definitely very proud to own it
Nathaniel Texas nive I’m looking for a cheaper setup I’m getting into it
Jefferson Lobbs You have a SEVERAL of siren options out there man. I was just lucky I found what I liked at reasonable prices
Nathaniel Texas awesome thank you sir
The telephone sounding siren is called ultra hilo
Thank you!
Your neighbors probably love you
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself
I’m 16 turning 17 in a few months. Would I be able to be an explorer or an actual volunteer
Explorer untill 18
At are fire department you have to be a chief to run sirens But awesome set up 😎
Isn’t that illegal to have blues lights on your light bars? Would the police get a little upset about that……jw?
All states have their own set laws on allowing this. Some only allow a single blue light, some like WV allow what I have. Just depends whichever end of the country you’re on.
Lighting system looks amazing.. Where you from? You in West Virginia also?
WV strong!
Nice set up. Jerrys auto in belpre sells show me lights/sirens.
Good to know :))
Were not able to use lights on pov. Wish we could
I’m sorry to hear that man. What state are you from?
Tennessee bur the department won't let us use them unless you just have them on for when your in the road. Can't use them going down the road
Kyle Grindstaff Wow, that really sucks man
dude us the tone from the delta
I really want a FS Platinum Series honestly
@@NathanielTexas as someone thats not living in the states or a english speakign country and having it a s aprestique item its my dream btw i really hate the fact that the law suqestion got decliend here in germany so we firefighters arent allowed to use green light while headding to the station:(
What center console are you using??
Custom made! :))
Where did you get the center console?
I built it myself with my low grade craftsmanship skills. lol
@@NathanielTexas is it wood? Couldn't even tell it was hand made.
I have a wig wag toggle box with all the wires if you’re interested
I appreciate it very much man! I think I'm done adding stuff to the truck though. I have a couple more recent uploads of everything else I've fixed
@@NathanielTexas awesome bud! Wish I had that talent!
How much did that Kenwood cost?
I paid $100 for the Kenwood
Where is your station decal?
I don’t have a volunteer back plate, (which is optional here) I have our sticker in the back glass that all of our members have, and I have our volunteer front plate issued to members
NY Volly laws suck. Only 1 Blue/white light, no siren.
I’m sorry to hear that dude
Nathaniel Texas It’s all good, I’m going in prob next june. They are trying to get the laws changed. People don’t move over, and can barely see us. Being in a rural setting is understandable to only have one light, but in a suburban area it’s horrible.
Good lord I can’t imagine 20 guys running to the hall all running pv sirens. Illegal in Ontario as it should be. That said, clean install sir.
Neighbors rn wtf
am a volnteer firefighter/emt
Just joined the fire department as a volunteer in my town. How hard was this set up to install?
I didn’t struggle to bad. The hardest part I struggled with was getting my visor lights to fit properly because Ford is stubborn like that. Just as long as you have a basic understanding with craftsman ship and wiring you shouldn’t have much of an issue
Captain Wacker!
Tell me you're a massive whacker without telling me you're a massive whacker lol
Still an awesome setup!
There no such thing as to many lights
Squirrels
2:16 might wanna change the pattern
What you mean
@@mattb12341 it out of pattern a little bit
Twinkly
oh geez another police impersonator 🙄
Do you even know the texas state laws? Clearly not.
This screams wacker. Wayyyyyyyy overboard.
Fuck you
@@derekphillips1387 lol
My god WTF
I’m good, how are you?
Just another whacker!. The volunteers love the fact they can install lights and sirens on their POV's. Makes them feel like cops and some in fact have pulled over drivers if those drivers just bothered them. Since this is a small hick town, nobody cares these volunteer firefighters are acting like they are cops. What's next, they install cages in their cars, carry a duty belt with a gun, Taser, cuffs, etc. so they think they are cops. Just think if they do something that violates someone's rights, the city better get out their checkbook to pay out from a big lawsuit.
You done yet? lmao
@@NathanielTexas Just let em yap. Only gives you more engagement. Keep saving lives ❤
