The object of the rumbler is to get drivers out of the way by having them actually feel the siren. Some people blast their radios, so Federal Signal’s Rumbler and Whelen’s version of it are great alternatives/additions. The lower tone vibrates inside the drivers, getting them out of the way faster.
Oh we're they ever! Reminds me of home in Long Island back in the 1950's, when the sirens would go off for the volunteer Fire Departments out there. I'd had lived some 10-15 miles away, and you could still hear them. Love this video, keep up the good work.
Just incase.. A few of my videos from the past have adult language in them. Alot of these are clips was where the crew didn't know I was filming,so they acted naturally, not scripted.
I usually have my fire pager with me at all times that I record and try to get audio regarding the call at hand. It helps to narrate the clip. I thank you for your comments. -Frank from Delaware!
+fmartinjr on 2 separate occasions I observed idiots close 2 where I live in Louisiana that wouldn't get out of the way of fire trucks. 1 occasion I had 2 wave the traffic bec the idiots couldn't see the fire truck with lights and sirens blaring in front of them with no obstructions of course. Every firefighter waved at me. I have no clue how long they sat there? The 2nd time from 2 different directions me and another truck driver had 2 shutdown traffic that couldn't see or hear a fire truck trying 2 come out of the street where their station is located and again everyone in the fire truck waved frantically thanking us. I had a time when I was turning onto a main rd when I heard sirens. I couldn't tell where the siren sound was coming from until I got straight. Upon looking in my mirror I spotted the fire truck coming up behind me so I got on the shoulder right away. The fire truck turned down a street way b/4 reaching me so I pulled back onto the hwy. I drive 18 wheelers 4 a living.
Nice video of res-ponders. That one Fire Truck with the air horn, I thought for a minute that it almost sounded like the air horn on an AmTrak train! Really great sounding and video work, Thank you for sharing.
Hey Frank, if you don't know what the rumbler does, it emits a lower tone that drivers can feel when the siren is blasting over their radios and stereos. Some police departments sport the rumbler on their units to get speeders to pull over when they chase them down, and they also use the rumbler to get people out of the way when responding to a call.
+Fix It-Felix Jr. I had all of this in my plan well before we assembled as an apparatus committee in 2010. A lot of companies have followed the spec. There is many videos of the Squad responding on my channel.
I'm a firefighter in PA that was a great video our fire cops have red lights and sirens and so do our chiefs but those rigs like a lot better than ours
What is with the responders and no sirens? Don't y'all take EVOC? If lights are on the siren is too. And why is the chief so far ahead of the responders?
If you're referring to the vehicles with only blue/white and red to the rear they appear to be POV's, most states don't allow audible warning on fire POV's.
If the fire chief's vehicle was towards the beginning, what was the partially marked pickup up at 6:35, the unmarked SUV at 7:17 and the unmarked pickup at 7:32?
sounded like one of the first vehicles had the New Rumbler Siren, that sounded really cool, they say it almost literally shakes the ground a tiny bit.....I have never seen a Hummer used in that capactity before, well except for the ones that they used on CSI Miami...LOL, what was the hummer, Fire Dept????? It's not good when u see the Haz Mat unit responding Code 3 like it wasw...
Again, a wonderful code 3 experience Bro!! Thanks for your continued posts to youtube! I was surprised how ineffective the warning lights appeared on the front of the hazmat compared to the rear of the trailer.. Just the video? And an eQ2b with the eQ grill to boot! Nice!
Thank you. Yeah,the front warning is horrible on the HazMat truck.It does have High beam wig wag.. but here the the High beams are activated which is overriding the alternating flash pattern.
Do you know what kind of light that is on the front in the center of the Rescue truck ( it has 3 lights on it, and it spins around.) Also how much do they cost? Thanks.
The front center warning is the Roto Ray. Very popular in the Mid Atlantic region. The cost I can't remember but,is very expensive! I was the committee purchasing member that ordered all of the visual and verbal devices for this rig in 2010.
+fmartinjr You did a great job lighting it up. I'm very jealous and would love to take a ride on that. We don't have a heavy rescue here we're a ladder company in my town :(. Greetings from Williamstown Fire Company Sta. 29-1. Williamstown NJ
+Mathew “856GreaseMonkey” Festoff No need for jealousy, we just appreciate each other's equipment. Hopefully, more departments see other innovations like this and make those additions themselves.
+fmartinjr The RotoRay is older than the BeaconRay.. The Denver FD had one on every apparatus and used Sterling 30 sirens. I have never seen the RotoRay advertised for after market use. Might be just factory installation.
If you don't know what happened to me on my local mountain, I was on a nature walk about less than a year ago, probably around the fall of the year, and as I was coming down the mountain, I started running, and I just don't know why I started running, but while running, I was unstoppable and couldn't stop myself in time, and suddenly slipped on a rock up there, fell, and scraped up my right elbow so badly that it started bleeding. The pain was so bad that I had to try and walk home in pain.
The POVs seem to only run blue to the front but have blue and red to the rear. Is this how Delaware is? I'm from Iowa we run just blue for fire department and just white for rescue squad/ems unless you are on a combination department (Fire EMS or Fire Rescue) in which you can run blue and white and it has to be 360. We don't even have fire police. Also is everything in this video volunteer manned or is some of it (chief, hazmat) from a paid department?.
In PA Fire and EMS use red, white and ambers in the back. Fire Police run blue and white lights unless they are a Fire Police Captain or Fire Policw Lieutenant; then they can run Red white and amber. PD uses Red white, blue and amber. (Amber being the traffic advisor and rear lights.
In DE, FIre Police run blue/white to the front, and may have air horns but not sirens to respond. Rear - anything goes. In PA, the difference is that volunteers may have the lights but no audible warning systems, and are thus not able to get through intersections. In DE, they can.
Depends on what is involved. I have known accidents to involve tanker trucks of gasoline or hazardous chemicals that is leaking. Even trucks with a full tank of diesel can be an issue if the you end up needing a whole pile of absorbant and a typical pumper or rescue doesn't normally carry what ever is needed for that particular incident.
I am not in favor of mounting a railroad horn on a fire truck for two reasons: First, horns and sirens say a lot about what it is. Putting a horn that says 'Locomotive' on something that should say 'Fire Truck' can be misleading. Second, locomotive horns are very expensive. At the railroad where I work, there have been many thefts of locomotive horns by truckers, train enthusiasts, and volunteer fire departments. This makes the locomotive inoperable until a expensive replacement horn can be procured.
Nice video! I drive my wife crazy when I hear sirens. I'm in Ohio, Only Red and white for Fire/Rescue and EMS, Police blue and red, we all can use a little white but not all white. We all have to use sirens if we use lights. We can all use a little white/amber. All amber for wreckers and constructiion guys.
Sarcasm,to the Delaware Facebook viewers of the sharing of last week's video.The topic became once the notice of fire trucks "leaning or Flexing as they turn left and right.A little heated discussion about what sirens are and aren't needed,Train horns,confusing traffic,too fast,too slow, being contradictive, etc.
i was wondering why this was pg? my son (almost 2) LOVES watching firetruck, police, typical lil boy stuff, i skimmed through to see anything too graphic but i didnt see anything.
Hmmm.... Thank God for opinions. I don't know where you're from but, these horns do as they're intended to do in this area. Since I made the first year's worth of videos of these horns in use, many departments/companies within the U.S. have followed in purchasing the same. So, it's all good. Some prefer it ,some don't. I'm still going to sleep the same when I get in this bed.So be it.
Yes. Most of them in DE run a "DE State Fire Police" graphic/decal (I'd imagine it's just magnetic) on them. I don't know that it's required, at least not on the door. If you'll notice the pick up truck that passes later with blue lights they have the same decal except he has it on the tailgate. In PA where I'm from some of the municipalities have a decal the fire police can put on their vehicles as well.
+Gary Plastek Depends. Volunteer company that would be about right. Firefighters need to get to the station and man the trucks. Chiefs keep vehicles at home.
Volunteers who are sworn in, receive special police powers, and get special training to assist at fire scenes with things like traffic control, crowd control, and provide overall assistance and security at fire/emergency events.
The object of the rumbler is to get drivers out of the way by having them actually feel the siren. Some people blast their radios, so Federal Signal’s Rumbler and Whelen’s version of it are great alternatives/additions. The lower tone vibrates inside the drivers, getting them out of the way faster.

BTW: Thanks for having the radio on the video also. It gives an insight to what is happening. Keep up the good work.

HOLY AIR/TRAIN HORN!!!!!! LOVE IT!! ❤️❤️
Jack Britt yes
More like an Amtrak horn I heard those thing before when i was out railfanning and I know what an Amtrak horn sound like
The train horn is a k5la
@Westmoreland County PA Fire Buff dang really
Nice video of res-ponders. That one Fire Truck with the air horn, I thought for a minute that it almost sounded like the air horn on an AmTrak train! Really great sounding and video work, Thank you for sharing.

Lovely sounding trucks
R23 tho
the best (nathan k5la) train horn ever heard on a fire rig! thanks for the vid.
+Fix It-Felix Jr. I had all of this in my plan well before we assembled as an apparatus committee in 2010. A lot of companies have followed the spec. There is many videos of the Squad responding on my channel.
You BETTER move when The Red Train comes through with those Nathan Airchime K5LA horns blasting!
Glad to see people not using sirens when they have lights activated hope they don't get into a accident
Some heck of a wreck for the HazMat team to respond.
Unless it's a truck with a tanker that's crashed.
I'm a firefighter in PA that was a great video our fire cops have red lights and sirens and so do our chiefs but those rigs like a lot better than ours
rare catch - fire police responding. Great vid.
Love that train horn
That train horn was amazing!
I ordered the Nathan horn set for the arrogant drivers in our district;especially all drivers utilizing nearby I-95
+fmartinjr nice! People around here are normally pretty good at moving over for us.
fmartinjr they usually don't move until we're right on their ass
What is with the responders and no sirens? Don't y'all take EVOC? If lights are on the siren is too. And why is the chief so far ahead of the responders?
If you're referring to the vehicles with only blue/white and red to the rear they appear to be POV's, most states don't allow audible warning on fire POV's.
Jake Ewell because the cheif has is own vehicle he can get their quicker than an engine who needs to wait for all to load on the engine.
David Shupp Volunteer fire department
If the fire chief's vehicle was towards the beginning, what was the partially marked pickup up at 6:35, the unmarked SUV at 7:17 and the unmarked pickup at 7:32?
Rescue or Tower Ladder + Q + Train horn = Most badass fire truck ever!
nice video, wowww the response is great and fantastic. Great equipments
The beginning is the Chief's truck,and the only siren on it is a Federal PA300 coulped with a
Federal Rumbler.
cool! the Haz-Mat rig has the Chicago paint job with the black roof!
What was the name of the siren heard at the beginning of the video?
Rumbler
That...has to be the sickest looking Hazmat EVER. Goddamn I'm jealous.
sounded like one of the first vehicles had the New Rumbler Siren, that sounded really cool, they say it almost literally shakes the ground a tiny bit.....I have never seen a Hummer used in that capactity before, well except for the ones that they used on CSI Miami...LOL, what was the hummer, Fire Dept????? It's not good when u see the Haz Mat unit responding Code 3 like it wasw...
I'm fdny hazmat and we respond code 3 all the time usually just cops wanting us to check a spill
Andrew Silva the Hummer is Fire Police
No sirens for Fire cops in Delaware,electric air horns only.And red warnings to the rear only.
Can you post your camera make and model? Thank you.
Sony Handycam HDR-CX360, bought in 2011
What vehicles were involved in the accident that needed the Haz Mat out there?
I heard the rumble siren and the fire house siren do you know what siren they use when the firefighters are called in to respond?
Federal STH 10
Cheers.
+fmartinjr one of the good old sirens that they used to make
What did you mean when you said plz dont lean
leaning into traffic to get a better shot, kinda risky. Could get clipped by someone not paying attention.
Because my days of responding to every call ended back in my 20's and 30's.Maybe if I was 19 years old still living with my mom.
no sirens on those fire cops?
what are the units at 5:40 and 6:34? police?
Again, a wonderful code 3 experience Bro!! Thanks for your continued posts to youtube! I was surprised how ineffective the warning lights appeared on the front of the hazmat compared to the rear of the trailer.. Just the video? And an eQ2b with the eQ grill to boot! Nice!
Thank you. Yeah,the front warning is horrible on the HazMat truck.It does have High beam wig wag.. but here the the High beams are activated which is overriding the alternating flash pattern.
I can confirm what he said. Yes there is a slight amount of "grown up" talk in Mr. Martin's Videos.
Yes,house siren is to the east of this area.
Great catch!
Do you know what kind of light that is on the front in the center of the Rescue truck ( it has 3 lights on it, and it spins around.) Also how much do they cost? Thanks.

I saw it as Amber. In my state (NJ), you can run blue and white up front. In the back, you can run blue, white and amber.
Oh. Looked red to me.
In PA Fire and EMS use red, white and ambers in the back. Fire Police run blue and white lights unless they are a Fire Police Captain or Fire Policw Lieutenant; then they can run Red white and amber. PD uses Red white, blue and amber. (Amber being the traffic advisor and rear lights.
I think it was red.
In DE, FIre Police run blue/white to the front, and may have air horns but not sirens to respond. Rear - anything goes. In PA, the difference is that volunteers may have the lights but no audible warning systems, and are thus not able to get through intersections. In DE, they can.
Great video of traffic
For your smart ass information,the lengthy video showing a lot of traffic is for capture of the radio transmissions. Quit trying to clown.
How far do u live from the fd
What kind of video camera? Decent zoom on it
Sony HDR-CX360
Depends on what is involved. I have known accidents to involve tanker trucks of gasoline or hazardous chemicals that is leaking. Even trucks with a full tank of diesel can be an issue if the you end up needing a whole pile of absorbant and a typical pumper or rescue doesn't normally carry what ever is needed for that particular incident.
Whose the guy in the hummer with the air horns? He's got a pretty cool light setup
My age is 39, and I am an active volunteer fireman of 23-1/2 years.
That tone from the Chevy in the beginning is the Howler from Whelen. Those are 295 tones.
I am not in favor of mounting a railroad horn on a fire truck for two reasons: First, horns and sirens say a lot about what it is. Putting a horn that says 'Locomotive' on something that should say 'Fire Truck' can be misleading. Second, locomotive horns are very expensive. At the railroad where I work, there have been many thefts of locomotive horns by truckers, train enthusiasts, and volunteer fire departments. This makes the locomotive inoperable until a expensive replacement horn can be procured.
Do u think you maybe able to get vid of 22's new rescue. I you can't no biggie!
Nice video, HazMat truck is sweet
Holy crap the train has returned
Nice video! I drive my wife crazy when I hear sirens. I'm in Ohio, Only Red and white for Fire/Rescue and EMS, Police blue and red, we all can use a little white but not all white. We all have to use sirens if we use lights. We can all use a little white/amber. All amber for wreckers and constructiion guys.
Kool! when you complete the video send it my way.
In my hometown our fire department don't have train horns
What kind of camera are you using?
skip to 8:00 for HAZMAT trailer
Is this one of the most famous fire trucks in the country? Or at least on RUclips?
Very Nice Rumbler
What does eq on the tractor trailer mean? Electronic Q?
Yes.
Ah I'm Smart
Why is this rated PG?
Pretty Gotdam boring
It means ,you're a "pretty girl". now go sit your punk ass down,chump.
fmartinjr your mom says make sure you turn off the basement light when you come upstairs for dinner
Your two dads said, make sure that you bring toilet paper and king sized bananas up to their bedroom
already?? man you guys went through that last bunch pretty quick....thanks for hanging out with them, they needed a new toy
got to love those sd70ace horns!
Did u get the video response
Nathan K5LA is under the front frame
Sarcasm,to the Delaware Facebook viewers of the sharing of last week's video.The topic became once the notice of fire trucks "leaning or Flexing as they turn left and right.A little heated discussion about what sirens are and aren't needed,Train horns,confusing traffic,too fast,too slow, being contradictive, etc.
Fire police. They're firemen that direct the traffic at the scene.
The what SD70ACE horn are Nathan K5LA! SD70ACE horns is easier for me to remember :)
some editing would have been nice
Nah,I'm good over here. Too busy to edit all of my videos.
You still Running Brother?
R those Nathan train horns or
Are you fireman??
Active home responders take 1-3 minutes after the drop of the Fire tones
Why did you say dont lean?
Never seen a police Hummer responding before. Only seen them in photos and as Hot Wheels vehicles.
I don't know. I did not respond.
does the first fire cop just have an airhorn
WTH are fire cops?
I mean tractor drawn hazmat! Bloody predicted text.!!!!
Damn the scene that close?
i was wondering why this was pg? my son (almost 2) LOVES watching firetruck, police, typical lil boy stuff, i skimmed through to see anything too graphic but i didnt see anything.
That's terrible. I want y'all to be careful.
:Probably not. I'm never in that local.
Worth watching for the tea for drawn hazmat alone, you should come to england and vidio our hazmats, there like bread vans!
Thank you
fmartinjr hey man im from DE and those aint no DE fire police
I've been fighting fires with this fire company for over 22 years ...I think know the Fire police in my department and neighboring companies.
fmartinjr not trying to be disrespectful man I was just curious do you mean the state De or are you in a town im in Millsboro sta 83
I'm in Newport,Delaware
Do Fire Cops Get There Own Trucks Or What?
K5LAs are SD70ACE horns!!!! :) :P
what is a fire cop I have heard bout them I just didn't know what it is
Train Horns belong on a train. Grover Air Horns belong on a fire truck or a rescue.
They are not rash and distinctive like they should be.
Hmmm.... Thank God for opinions. I don't know where you're from but, these horns do as they're intended to do in this area. Since I made the first year's worth of videos of these horns in use, many departments/companies within the U.S. have followed in purchasing the same. So, it's all good. Some prefer it ,some don't. I'm still going to sleep the same when I get in this bed.So be it.
I am a quarter to half of a mile from the station
gotta love the red train
"State Fire Police" must be the equivalent of DNR Firefighters
U said it are u in the armed forces
What was that white jeep?
+k0smon looks like highway patrol/state trooper
That hummer is sweet. State Police?
it's just a fire police POV.
ZorlocMortimer A POV with side graphics?
Yes. Most of them in DE run a "DE State Fire Police" graphic/decal (I'd imagine it's just magnetic) on them. I don't know that it's required, at least not on the door. If you'll notice the pick up truck that passes later with blue lights they have the same decal except he has it on the tailgate. In PA where I'm from some of the municipalities have a decal the fire police can put on their vehicles as well.
I made my own Lego version of hazmat 30! It's not exact but I wanted to make it my own. I will make a video
I believe it's whatever their personal vehicle is.
Fire Cops/POV's
What's up wit da radio??
***** What do you mean what's up with it? I'm lost with your questioning because the only radio within the video is self-explanatory.
fmartinjr just was wondering why there even was a radio
It's kool.
Hell of a distance between cheif's car and responders
Really..?
The Chief resides in the development next to mine. The fire station is about a quarter mile from he and I.
+Gary Plastek Depends. Volunteer company that would be about right. Firefighters need to get to the station and man the trucks. Chiefs keep vehicles at home.
why didnt you respond to this?
30 seconds of action in a 10 minute video. 🤷♂️
what are fire cops?
Volunteers who are sworn in, receive special police powers, and get special training to assist at fire scenes with things like traffic control, crowd control, and provide overall assistance and security at fire/emergency events.
Shitty response time. Great zoom lens on that camera!!!
