Are you guy's stationed around the old factory? Seen on your Instagram what kind of meals you guy's are having...lol..looked great. Thanks for sharing your call out Bro....lets people see and get involved...might help create awareness about yeilding in traffic for you guy's. I've seen some people cut ambulances off and not give up their lane. Keep up the good work and as always thanks for saving lives!!!💪👍🚑
Our station in Harlan is located across the bridge just before Hardee's over by the storage buildings. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you're enjoying this series. That's encouraging to keep making content like this. Hopefully I'll have a new camping video in the next couple weeks.
Safely that is! LoL! The road the the right averages around 3 cars a day, and left is a very clear view and nothing was coming. I usually slow to an "almost stop" before clearing any intersections. Thanks for watching.
@@jayasmrmore3687 totally agree. There are so many close calls for us when responding. I got hit head on once in the ambulance. It was bad. Person on a cell phone crossed the line last second. I had no reaction time to even break. That was a bad day.
Good video Jason. So that on-coming car had the patient inside and you transferred the patient to your ambulance and then took the patient to the hospital?
Not anymore, I've been out of work for almost a year with an injury from work. I might be able to get some fire trucks responding soon though. Thanks for watching.
So I’m an emt who’s learning to drive an ambulance how long do you slow down to clear each lane at intersections I live in Vegas so it’s very chaotic out here
You probably figured it out by now, and if you are still in Nevada, remember it’s like most states. Emergency vehicles don’t have the right of way. They are requesting it. I was a cop in Nevada and driven fast code driving in Vegas. Always remember first and foremost, use due care. You can never get in trouble for using due care and using more than is needed, you can however, get sued, fired, cited or even face jail time for not using it. Take as long as you need to clear an intersection, NO emergency is worth creating another one, or doing something so you can’t continue responding. Make sure each vehicle is stopped FOR YOU, not for something else, and clear each lane, just because one vehicle stops for you, don’t go and think the other lanes next to it saw you. Make sure each lane is stopped or it’s clear. Never ride too close to the rear of a vehicle either, code or not. People will slam on their brakes and just stop, not everyone knows what to do for an emergency vehicle and think that stopping or going left is the right thing. Try not to pass on the right, always make people go to the right. As for not following close when you are code, people may see you are an ambulance, but they may hear a siren from another emergency vehicle and think it’s from you. Vegas is non-stop with emergency vehicles, especially by the strip. They may see you, hear a different one, and panic and try to get out of your way or slam on their brakes. Understand people don’t always hear or see an emergency vehicle. And in a tourist area like Vegas, you have people from different countries. Different countries have different customs. I have followed people for 20 miles with lights and sirens, DOZENS of times, and they were foreign tourists where in their country they don’t treat emergency vehicles the same way. People from China are the worst due to the customs there. They just don’t yield for emergency vehicles. They may not also have that much experience driving. They may have a license, but have only driven a small amount of time because in places like China and Japan, they walk, bike or use mopeds. Driving in cars let alone owning them is not common. So realize that someone may see you but don’t actually know they need to yield. It happens a lot, you would be surprised. It would be like us going over there and driving and trying to get over to the right to yield for a fire truck when no one else is. They would think we are odd. Switch up siren tones but not every one second. Wail is good, and designed for long stretches of roadway. Yelp is for intersections. If you have priority/phaser/piercer whatever you want to call it, it’s okay, but kinda pointless. Yelp gets the point across. Just remember to use due care and know you are not given the right of way. You are requesting it. Until the other drivers give it to you, you have to wait. Yes by law they need to yield, but that still doesn’t mean you have the right of way. You can speed, run red lights without stopping, run stop signs without stopping, per the letter of the law, but that only applies AFTER due care is used and you approached in a manner where you can stop if needed to prevent an accident. Can’t enter and intersection at 60 against a red light in a 45 MPH zone with a car half a block from entering it from the cross street, because there would be no way to stop if needed, or ensure no one is in a crosswalk. If you are in thick traffic and no one can move, kill the siren and even the lights and wait.
@@MannsAdventures yes I’m pulling through I already knew most of the stuff cause my dad was a paramedic and my moms a nurse so they taught me a lot which that is helping me in emt training
5:29 listhen to that good ol’ V8 moter

@@MannsAdventures even running the light is a dream. I did it once to clear for responding ambulance and enjoyed it.
@@MannsAdventures still, be sure that it’s clear before proceeding, slow down a bit

@@MannsAdventures where do you live
im enjoying the videos jason.keep them coming brother.
Sure will, glad you're enjoying.
That's a first. I have never seen an ambulance respond from a storage facility
I agree, It's different but it is the center of our county at least.
Good old harlan
Yes sir!
csx needs to do something about that crossing brother.
Yeah, it's a rough crossing for sure.
@@MannsAdventures the southbound side is worse brother.
