The two white tahoes had poor lighting patterns. Rapid flashing plus other poor patterns make them less visible. Should have a rooftop lightbar instead of visor lights. Much more effective and visible to other drives, especially during the day
Yes, amazing how people kept going when the undercover type vehicles came to the intersection. It's almost like no one could tell those were emergency vehicles.
Excellent job let's stop and honor and appreciate the paramedics and firemen who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks great job great catches as usual still going strong keep them safe out there don't work to hard love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock way to !

Those white tahoes are a bit of a trouble because during the peak afternoon hours you can barely see their lights from the massive white glare blinding you. I almost hit one coming down Northlake once and he waved to me like "my bad". But they are brand new so maybe they are waiting for a promotional wrap for the holidays like they usually do with some of their slicktop units. Also nice video cool to see local stuff
Yea they barely responded, maybe once a call every 3 months or something crazy like that. I have no clue about the wrap, they have had these for a bit now but we’ll see.
Agreed, you can barely see any lighting on the car and clearly the siren doesn’t help that much. I also don’t get the need for a completely unmarked fire vehicle like that.
Excellent video, though (and maybe it’s different in FL), but my time in Fire/EMS we always called it “Responding Emergent.” Also, the Q’s on the QRVs are awesome, but I’m not a fan of Fire/EMS vehicles that are not marked. Way less visible, hence why people do not notice the two of them at the traffic lights.
Outstanding and excellent they deserve alot of credit tons of it let's honor and appreciate the paramedics and firemen who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks great job great team work and great and sweet catches as usual still going great team efforts are deeply appreciated thanks stay safe and warm out there stay strong as well much love and respect and appreciation job well done you should be amazed and proud one big respond ever seened its a service we can't live without right god bless you guys thanks you guys rock way to go very impressed !!

Looks like a great response. Occurs to me that no vehicle had good lateral (ie sideways facing) intersection clearing lights on the front. These would need to be really big: headlight size, even just white to grab the cross traffic attention. Needs some field trials to work out the best solution, though.
In my city our battalion chief drives a white explorer and its one of the rarest fire trucks to record in my city , you see American battalion chiefs respond to all fires but here they dont
Truck 61 (bucket) is now truck 64 and is stationed at station 64. The ladder in the video is the previous ladder 61 being used as a spare. Their new ladder is a Seagrave.
Wow i'm confused over here, when a emergency vehicle with lights and sirens approaches you move out of the way or stop. In the USA, folks don't seem to are.
1 thing i hate is how low their sirens are from a distance. Seems like a common thing in palm beach. People wont hear them until they are on the drivers rear end
Approximate bumper height is pretty common to mount a Q or other siren. Generally the bulk of the sound wave projects straight forward so high mounted sirens go over the top of most vehicles and also impact the noise level inside the responding vehicle cabin. Air horns on the other hand are best used at a distance from intersections since they are louder and will have a wider sound dispersion. (like trains)
The “q” is the silver circle on the front of each of these trucks, it’s a siren known as the Q2b, which is the sirens all these trucks are using besides the white Chief cars.
My only questions is why those EMS cars have federals… never seen that before. I’m a volunteer and the only thing in my department that has a Federal Q is our engine.
City should consider investing in opticon systems to control intersection lights Chiefs 64 and 65 too cooll for school with the undercover look (unfortunately it slowed them down)

This video is a great example on why PBGFR requires the marked units to all have q2b sirens on their vehicles. You can see battalion chief and ems 61 get through the busy intersection with no problem.
@@EvanDowell1213 Okay, that makes sense. Thanks! CHFR has unmarked Tahoes as well belonging to the chiefs. The FC’S buggy is silver with a civilian trim while the other chiefs have white with the PPV looks.

I think the whole department needs another review of the emergency lighting. For the money they are spending I dont see the return from this video. Lotsa fun stuff but not that effective. My opinion. Thoughts??
New subscriber. I'm from "Out West" so I'll ask something I've wondered for a long time. What are those whirling lights on the front of engines called. Never seen one irl west of the Mississippi.
Thank you!! Depending on where ya are at they are call differently things. I call them a rotor ray which is their common name but some call them pinwheels.
Yep, everyone is in their own world, if it doesn’t involve them they don’t care. Sad to see this much ignorance especially when they are in the middle of the intersection.
@@PalmBeachCountyFireBuffI bet if all emergency vehicles had cameras where they would take pictures and videos and send everyone a 500 dollar ticket things would change I always pull over for emergency vehicles all the time
I saw things in this video that frankly pissed me off. Nothing to do with the firefighters or the videographer. It has everything to do with the dumbassed self centered drivers who thought they were more important than the yielding right of way to Emergency Vehicles responding hot code 3. Emergency vehicles do not respond this way unless it is a serious situation.
Idiots who think when they have the green; they “always” have the right of way: 🤦♂️🤬😤; doesn’t work like that when there’s and emergency units going full code…🤦♂️
Those two white SUV's are useless. Low visibility and even in the recording the sirens were low, can't imagine someone in a car with windows closed and A/C running will hear it. Poor design. Now, those Chief's vehicles with the Q...Awesome.
Nice units, But until they put some damn blue lighting into those vehicles, especially those slick top units and at least the staff units start with them first, they are going to continue to either get somewhat ignored due to visibility or the public is mostly aware of red, amber and blue lighting “PERIOD “ it is even scientifically proven that those 3 colors especially RED and BLUE lighting is more visible and especially to the naked eye, which is why the majority of public safety agencies are switching to those colors especially fire and police vehicles more so than ems units, even though many of them also use Red and blue as well, Seeing that all red and amber with some white, just looks plain and silly, Those days are played out, even many police vehicles that had all blue have added some red into the mix especially to the back or Michigan state police have the one large red light on top but have added blue lighting to the back of their units just like the FDNY and the NYPD have also done as well.. just my beautiful opinion..🙌🏼👍👏🏼🚨🚒🚓🚒
That’s so cool that the Chief has a Q Siren !!!!
It sure is!
Thanks I cool 😎
Threw me at first if I'm honest 😅
That's a 1st👍
Not just the chiefs, but the ambulance does too, and it also has a rotoray!
The amount of drivers that just don't react to lights and siren is honestly just annoying.
It’s so sad to see.
😂😂😂 the vedio is 5 minutes no one was in there way

Those are most likeley Fire Safety Officers or something of the sorts, and either way that's not what I was talking about.
@@Goober10584 Poor i saw them and what about hearing them? But perhaps, so the fire trucks also had poor lighting ? Because drivers ignored those to.
Amazes me how so many people just keep going.
Yes, amazing how people kept going when the undercover type vehicles came to the intersection. It's almost like no one could tell those were emergency vehicles.
Ineffective emergency warning package. Can't blame other drivers if the lighting sucks, which it does on those white tahoes.
Can’t see it why would you know to stop
@@timschnick7120you can see it just fine and theres a siren
@@27EWSpretty sure the lights and sirens give it away 🤦♂️
No respect for the lights until your turn and you need help. Respect the lights.
Totally agree.

Those white tahoes are a bit of a trouble because during the peak afternoon hours you can barely see their lights from the massive white glare blinding you. I almost hit one coming down Northlake once and he waved to me like "my bad". But they are brand new so maybe they are waiting for a promotional wrap for the holidays like they usually do with some of their slicktop units.
Also nice video cool to see local stuff

Agreed, you can barely see any lighting on the car and clearly the siren doesn’t help that much.
I also don’t get the need for a completely unmarked fire vehicle like that.
I wonder if they are part of a pilot program or something to get data in the field. Sometimes new manufacturers will do that to win a contract
I have *never* heard of or seen unmarked Fire Rescue vehicles. Until this video.
What is the purpose?
@@None-ef6nf I havent seen them since. I think they got vinyl wrapped
That’s class that Chief/Officer vehicles have mechanical sirens. That idea probably hasn’t been explored since the 1970s!
Those RotoRays are the coolest emergency lights. They especially look good on that Ambo.
Q’s on the BC’s buggies? I like their style!!😁👍
Isn’t it awesome!
They probably need them with all the traffic that doesn't seem to want to move out of the way.
Excellent video, though (and maybe it’s different in FL), but my time in Fire/EMS we always called it “Responding Emergent.” Also, the Q’s on the QRVs are awesome, but I’m not a fan of Fire/EMS vehicles that are not marked.

Yea we call it responding emergent or non-emergent. And yea the qs are awesome!
Ok, that’s absolutely gorgeous! That’s the „Q siren department“ even the ambulance has a Q 😍💪… great catch by the way, absolutely superb
Thank you!!
The white, slick tops need brighter front warning lights. Difficult to see hence why no one noticed them
impressive video! those were some awesome apparatus.
Yea they have pretty cool apparatus! Appreciate you watching!
The Q on the chief’s buggy’s are fantastic!
Agreed!!
Great job my friend Jacob
Amazing catches! Absolutely love the Federal Q’s on the Tahoes!
Same!
A very nice video and great catch! I like the colours of the engines. Didn't saw them often before.
Pretty unique isn’t it! Thanks for watching
keep recording and I keep watching :)@@PalmBeachCountyFireBuff
The manual siren on the new Tahoes sounds sick!
Yea the q sounds so good
Love the color!❇️💚
It's not every day you see a Tahoe with the Q! That was awesome!!
Glad you enjoyed it!!

i couldn't agree more sir
Awesome catch Q siren same 65 18 64 61 same Tahoes 62
Awesome nice catch
Possibly elementary school
Commercial structure fire
For whatever reason, those attention tones sound exactly like an auvi q device when you remove the device from the box.
Great videos!
Appreciate it man! Thanks for watching!
I thought that Chief with the Q was pretty cool... Obviously effective... Then I saw the lighting in the back and he lost me. haha
😂
Awesome video thanks for posting.
Thanks!

Does Palm Beach Gardens have both Ladder 61 and Platform 61 or is the Ladder just a spare or something or what?

they already do

Thank you!!
spectacular catch bro!!
Thanks brotha!
The chief has a q on the Tahoe? That's badass
Hell yeah!
Epic catches! What were the unmarked Tahoes? Possibly fire marshals or administration units?
The white Tahoes belong to the chiefs in the department, whether they are the Fire Chief, Deputy Chief, or Assistant Chief.
@@EvanDowell1213 Okay, that makes sense. Thanks! CHFR has unmarked Tahoes as well belonging to the chiefs. The FC’S buggy is silver with a civilian trim while the other chiefs have white with the PPV looks.
The cars in this video are Chief 64, and Chief 65. I don’t know which chiefs are assigned to these two units.
@@PalmBeachCountyFireBuff Thanks, for the clarification!
Nice catch!
Chief 64 and 65 rolling with low-profile and (basically) unmarked SUVs??
awesome my friend Jacob. be safe buddy.
Thank you! You too!!
Damm the only thing without rotorays are the chiefs cars
Yup and brush trucks
The white SUV’s have a badly visible LED stuff. 😊
Nice catches
Thanks!
Everybody.
Has to q the medic, the battalion, the ladder and engine
Outstanding video!!

👍👍👌
I didn't know tahoes can have a Q siren too
Hey Jacob did you know the new pbg bc Tahoe no more q
I’m aware. I did the photos of it, it has a 1000 volt manual eq.
They are going to be busy with that one
Why unmarked fire vehicles?
They unmarked are some of the chiefs cars and those are take home vehicles.
NICE!
Thanks!
*Received. Geez.
Nice
Why r theses cars not stopping for theses emergency vehicles. Like WTH.
Florida drivers 🤷♂️
Q sirens on the suvs are insane lol

I know someone in plam beach florida
You dont post pbg anymore
I have the new engines coming up next
