I can tell you first hand it is a terrible feeling when you are in an 18 wheeler trying to get out of the way, but you can't because there is no room to move..
It's especially frustrating when it's due to some dipshit in front of you in a 4-wheeler with like 30 feet of space
This is so true. Their intention is there that they want to pull over, but a truck that size, yes, impossible.
@@Sirisma I've had that before here in the UK. Safe to say the 4 wheeler got pushed out of the way by myself. I ended up with 3 points on my license but I found out after the incident that had I not have done that the casualty would've probably had life changing injuries if they were in the vehicle any longer. Worth it.
We know it’s not your fault. You fellas always do the right thing
If everyone used there nut and left space or keep to the side as soon you got to the queue you won’t have to move out the way and it will leave a space down the middle for fire engine or ambulance just think it might be your family so you would want them to get there fast to sort it
And people wonder 'why they takin' so long??' You have your answer in this video.
Because there's a breakdown lane, so of course the firetruck will try to force its way past vehicles (like semi-trailers) that can't easily move. Yup, makes perfect sense.
VerilyVerbatim you can clearly see a guardrail. It’s safer to go down the middle. Plus, what if someone is in the breakdown lane.... wait for it.... broken down?
@@rJayisawesome 7:06 Really? And how long was the firetruck sitting there, trying to force semi-trailers to move? Plus, you only split lanes like that if there's NO OTHER OPTION. European emergancy crews have a common saying... 'lane open, leave open'. If that happens to be the emergancy lane, so be it. It's an open lane (for emergancy vehicles), leave it open. It's far quicker to drive down that, then to try and force semi-trailers to move to the right when they can't?
@@Bcarr122391 So what if there's a guard rail? We have those also, but it's actually easier to drive down the breakdown lane, and make vehicles in the closest lane shift over a bit more to give the firetruck more room. Also, you're assuming much.... but even if you do happen to come across a stalled vehicle.... it's still far quicker to make a few vehicles move out of your way, as opposed to hundreds. The firetrucks come equipped with loudspeakers, and instructions of 'everyone, move to the left' would get the point across.
@@rJayisawesome 'Europeans do it better'.... your words, not mine. All I said for the European emergancy crews was the common saying 'lane open, leave open'. If drivers hear sirens, and there's an open lane.... leave it open? Also, 'bigger' is not necessarily better. Many countries around the world have much smaller firetrucks, and yet, everyone moves out of the way regardless.
Buy a house beside a fire department they said...
Peachy my local department doesnt allow the use of the Q-siren at night, and can only use sirens if they are near vehicles or an intersection (at night)
@@YodaSW2 mine too. Actually every emergency vehicle in my country doesn't use sirens at night , if they don't need to.
well, enjoy the horns in the middle of the night..lol~
Is that really necessary NO

Apparently it's rocket science for most people to pull to the right. A firefighter should never have to get out of the apparatus, and go up to tell somebody to move to the right! That it is ridiculous.
The 'move to the right' rule should only apply to active lanes. If the breakdown lane wasn't blocked by slow-moving heavy vehicles, the firetruck could easily have used it, and would have arrived at the accident site much faster. Or am I the only one trying to use logic... lane open, LEAVE OPEN.
Absolutely ridiculous!
Do you realize how little space there was

I agree
Thank You. To all Volunteer's, You Guy's are True Heroes. God Bless.
I agree with you completely!!!!
Well Thank You for your support brother!!
Your welcome
Thank you
@@jakemartinez876 man come over
11:00 it took one man with real common sense to make all those drivers realize how they can pull to the side if they knew how to drive and even let the semis move to the side. The only ones I’m in support of are the 18 wheelers CDL holders because they are the only ones that actually tried to move out the way! It’s just always the 4 wheelers man! Firefighters and CDL drivers, much respect!!
All the respect goes out to the driver! Great maneuvering through that mess man!
Damn that Air Horn is a beast GO GET EM BROTHERRSS!!!
Well, sometimes a lot of noise doesn't do the trick. "Trying to come up the middle" might not work :....but....One method that worked for me in a blocked highway, turn off the siren, use the PA and say tell them what to do..."Cars on the left move left, cars on the right move right" and voila, you go up the middle. Repeat siren and instructions as needed. I love how trucks and people hang into the breakdown lane so no one can cut past them..then a fire turck needs to get thru...
Howard3S I agree 💯 that’s the same thing I tell my crew on the Engine. You can’t make all the noise in the world and it still not get to the scene any quicker.
It will make people want to escape the noise!🤣
Except sometimes there really is no room to move at all...
Howard the shoulder would have been more affective

Legend has it that they are still in traffic until this day....
@chris hudson not funny
@chris topher yeah he meant the comment kid
:/
@@7yxc Wow. What a waste of time to come into a reply on a comment just to say that. Saddening.
@@peterparkerakaspider-manth2977 "the hero" wouldn't come into the reply section of a comment to be an asshole.
Incredible driving in an unbelievably difficult response situation. Thank you for serving your community with such excellence!
Hearing that Q pin sends a chill up my spine. I love it.
When an emergency happens, i'm glad we got people who can wake up early at night or be at the station during the day, to respond and save citizens in need of their help 😁👍
Thanks alot to the ladies and gentlemen who's here to help their community ❤
Congratulations to your firefighters for their dedication. By cons I am shocked by the inaction of cars and trucks on your roads ... At home in Europe, we have the obligation, on the highways, to leave the track of the free medium in case of dense road traffic.
As an Operator this guys Driving is great, great job by Lieutenant for clearing the cars out of the way
I love that Q siren and power call I am a junior firefighter hoping to be a full time firefighter keep up the work!
it’s been 4y where are you at now
@@513FIREwho knows aye
i love the "if i am getting up so are you" to all the neighbors
Very good job driving the fire truck very professional 👍
LOL.
I used to run with Roanoke County Fire and Rescue. I was a volunteer during the 80s, and I have to say, still great work for your response time!
This brings back memories when I was a volunteer fireman for St.helens Oregon and I was a volunteer for 17 years and sure miss those days and how things have changed since I was a volunteer because I remember riding on the back of firetrucks
I just started coming up on these videos in my recommended, and one thing I like is that you include pictures at the end of what it is that you were responding to 👌🏾
i think you guys did the best you can and to the people who think him in his shirt is bad try waking up at 2:30 am to run to the station for a call out for your house on fire do you want him to take the time to get dressed to come save you? or just show up?
Excellent point.
If I was called to a house fire in the middle of the night, I would show up in flip flops and my shorts. At that point nobody cares what your wearing. Throw my gear on and hop in. And it doesn’t matter if it’s all girls show up and no boys. They have the same power as men.
Luckily I live like 70 seconds from the station. I lay out my clothes socks and shoes and car keys by the door.
"The Beast" was a beast driver . Professional he is.
Good God I didn't think for awhile that engine did have an air-horn. I have first responder & EMS history. Engines I've ever known will use that air-horn like crazy along with th siren approaching all major intersections to make sure cars KNOW that the engine is coming thru!! I was shocked how less they used it on the city streets. I woulda given that %@$#& u-haul an EARFUL!! I'd have held that air-horn in honk mode!!! Lol. It's crazy how many to this day just freeze like deer in a headlight. Move to the RIGHT you idiots!!! What, did you fail that question on your driving test??? Geesh
Nice to see a video from a pretty close to me department. I work for BCoFR about an hour down the road gotta love that Q it’ll never get old. Even though I run on medic truck 3/4 times. Good luck and stay safe brothers.
WOW1 That was Heavy Traffic! Good Job going though there and Making it to the sence
never ceases to amaze me how big American fire engines are compared to other countries.
Great job, what a frustrating response for you!
Awesome driving throughout traffic with the engine.
I felt so American watching this LOL
Why? 😬😹 Just wondering!
@@menosbbgirl Just the sirens. The horns.
thank 4 the ride we have a MORE respect 4 for all u do
I am not from the USA but say thank you for your services.
Salute to BOUTETOT ARTILLERY cant wait to see yall on the field again
Que chingon video..
Gran conductor..heroes de verdad... 👍🚨
man that is some driving skills right there.
Makes me miss my firefighter days. I drive a semi truck now and secretly installed a fire truck horn and Q siren lol only
Best response video on this channel!
That traffic was crazy!!!
Love watching you men and women. I'm a police officer in the Norfolk area, and have never doubted that I should have been a firefighter...lol Great videos and thank you for your service!
Not too late. I was a cop - hated the corruption within my department. On the side, I secretly got EMT certified, and took the civil service exam for the fire department. Took all the physical exams, psych evals, interviews, etc under my departments nose (they seriously were astonishingly corrupt, so I decided to say screw em and not give them any notice). Got hired, and told my chief of my plan - he agreed and said if my Captain called all angry that I just upped and quit, he’d brush him off. Two days before my fire academy date I went right up to my Captain with all my gear, placed it on his desk, gave him the finger and quit. Went to the fire academy, passed, and am now a Firefighter/Paramedic. Best decision of my life swapping from blue to red! NEVER TOO LATE! And I did this all at 34. My only regret is I wish I did this sooner. I was Army and went right into the police force upon getting out. Wish I went green to red rather then green to blue, then to red… My only life regret… Never too late!
When I say my chief, I meant my at the time, new fire chief of the department I got hired to! He was cool with it. Went to work at my police department and quit right there - went home immediately after and prepped my stuff for the fire academy lol. Good times! Best job in the world.
Nobody flips me off as I drive by, never get called a pig, nobody’s mad to see me; it’s amazing! I have people come up to me to thank me, people are happy to see me, I get to teach fire safety at my kids’ school and all their friends love it! Let’s be real. Do you want a ride along in a cruiser or an apparatus? We all know that answer lol… I became a cop to help my community, and got crapped on for it… I switched to fire to still help my community, and it’s nice to see people being appreciative of it! Never too late, man! Give it some thought - best job in the world, best decision ever, and I couldn’t be more content with my life even if I tried!
And you can’t beat our schedule! Here’s mine and like 90% of departments within America!
Monday: 24 hour shift
Tuesday: 24 hour shift
Wednesday: off
Thursday: off
Friday: off
Saturday: off
Sunday: 12 hour shift in the ambulance since I’m also a paramedic.
Repeat that for 3 weeks. My 4th week I’m off for an entire 7 days. Then repeat this entire process every single month. I legit work 60 hours - 20 hours of overtime. I literally work 180 out of 744 hours in a 31 day month - 6 24 hour shifts as a firefighter, and 3 12 hour shifts as a paramedic. And yes, you still get PAID on your 4th week! It’s weird and hard to explain how it works, but you still get paid! I make close to 7.2k a month from that alone. You get so much time home with your family, you have PLENTY of time to work a 2nd job if you’d like - I do! I work as a part time real estate agent just because I get bored easily while my wife is at work and my kids are at school and I’m all alone lol. I make decent money off of that, plus I use my VA Loan and bought some properties to be a landlord for, and my disability from the Army. Add all that on top of my wife’s salary as well - it’s phenomenal money, man! You can’t beat it. I’m 48 on, 96 off, 12 on, then repeat. The 12 on and then go home just to wake up to do the 48 on gets kind of hard at times - but I’m in a moderate call department; so I get to sleep still - it works itself out.
Other schedules are 24 on, 48 off for the first 3 weeks. Then you get 5 days off your 4th week. Then you can also have the schedule of 24 on, 24 off, 24 on, 24 off, 24 on, 96 off. My favorite is 48 on, 96 off. Plenty of time to work a 2nd job if need be. Can’t beat it, man. Anyways, that’s my Ted Talk; sorry for the long 3 comments. Have a good one!
Hats off to the driver you got through some tight ass stuff
You guys are real hero 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍🥰😍🥰 tnx for your services
That’s bad when the fire fighte has to get out of the engine to move traffic
that was by far the most stupidest thing to do u never get out of ur rig to do that that putting ur life at risk i think he should have been suspended for that.. risk vs gain the risk was to great for just a mvc
dan wetzel not a huge risk in dead stop traffic ...
@@danwetzel4021 traffic was at a dead stop and he was always in front of the engine. i dont see the life threatening danger here..
@@danwetzel4021 you're kind of ignorant here...... Definitely not high risk in stopped traffic..... Also, he was smart and kept himself in front of his truck... That fire truck weighs in at a pretty few pounds and some jackass in a car isn't going to flinch that fire truck... We use our trucks as a barrier frequently, especially on accident calls......
What is the difference in him getting about 200 feet ahead of his rig in stopped traffic to inform drivers to move and being on scene with two lanes of traffic whizzing by at 70 mph 5 feet a way from you while working an auto accident??
I think it's pretty clear that you have no idea what you are talking about..... I'm a Firefighter of 10 years running and what you just said is most probably one of the absolute dumbest things I've heard in my entire life.... If he should be suspended for standing in stopped traffic to inform the public that he serves, then I guess we should all be suspended every time we work an auto accident with traffic blowing past at high speeds just a few feet away, right?
What he did was fine and in no way should result in suspension. He communicated to the drivers clogged up on the interstate and managed to clear a path for his rig in doing so... If you think that constitutes disciplinary action, I pray to God that you never find your way to any rank, should you actually be a firefighter....
Your logic is flawed and I'd be willing to bet you have little-no experience as a Firefighter.
@@danwetzel4021 this is by far one of the stupidest comments i have ever seen. you've earned a very special reward. Is the boogie-man gonna get him? with all those stopped vehicles idk man, he could be hiding behind an 18-wheeler. jesus.
OMG the driver looks like Claw Boss
Awesome video loved that "Q". The eng driver can drive.
Good job to the guy who got out to help the people move out of the way
Hell yeah brother love that power call and super fast power call
same
Scary to see an engine stuck in traffic like that when lives are at stake. A sigh of relief when you were finally able to get a clear path down the shoulder. Always respect a firefighter as they are willing to risk their own life to go into a burning building to save yours.
wow a 15 minute response time amazing driving!
Bike Bro's You couldn’t of driven there any faster so STFU!
15 minutes???
Dallas FD is getting hammered for that because the national FBI time to respond is 5 minutes or less.
@@tylercorbin8073 um it was a complement
that siren sounds dope
They did very very very good at the horn and Q siren nice vid
lol, I love the ring tone of who ever's phone that was around 13:04
Need some HI-LO!!! Amazing video
Excellent driving!
id like to know what what was was muted after he said ur going up the middle lol. I'm sure I have a good idea lol
holy wow what a mission!

Please contact me.brother
wtf is it with some drivers, I honestly don't understand
That guy driving looks super professional.
its at night, you get out of bed grab the first thing you find and put it on. you don't care how good you look.
He drove super professional so i dont think clothes matter
Try waking up at 3 am to your phone or pager going off for a call. I don't care if the guy is only in his underwear. If he can do his job right what does it matter
And he left the CAB to see the bodies.
DRIVER, you NEVER leave the cab you might need to MOVE the apparatus closer or out of the way.
He looked professional to me. Bravery, courage, integrity and compassion. That is what I saw.
What is the siren they are using during the heavy traffic?
This is what 81 northbound to the WV line looks like everyday.
Great job guys! I have to ask though why were no police directed to the scene to clear traffic and set up the area?
i dont know why, but i like the siren-horn combination
What a great job by that driver
Did you guys ever consider moving the station to an I-81 ramp?
Isn't this what the shoulder is for?
stirling the shoulder is for the cars to get on. So move over
No bullshit, a old trooper once cited nearly every single car at a accident who blocked emergency vehicles to a accident once we had gone to.
Guys good job on dealing with the goof balls and showing them how to move after telling them through the loudspeaker.
Its really shocking how bad people are to reacting on emergency wehicles,
it's America, look for video from Europe and you'll see a difference
Where I live the roads are narrow and still we even pull up on the sidewalk to let emergency vehicles through
Ya its pathetic I'm a paramedic/firefighter in both RI and CT and it doesn't matter if I'm running blue or red lights people don't know how to drive. I was almost run off the road one day by a women who had pulled over for my blue lights then decided to pull back out just as I was about to pass. I had to go into the breakdown area of the other side of the road to avoid a collision. Worst ones are the ones that see you and don't care or bother trying to pull over or park in the fire lanes in front of stores get those a lot in the tourist season during the summer
Part of it is that our road ways are way too small especially in the median and shoulders not enough room for people to pull off.
@@2012frawd in that situation I could understand but I've had people just not move even when they had room and in one occasion while responding to a multi dept. structure fire a beach goer intentionally blocked me even flicking me off in her rear view mirror. Unfortunately for her RISP was responding as well and also saw what she did and her beach plans turned into sitting in a cell for the day
Good Driver. Been there folks, nice job getting to the accident.
The Sho-Me siren, does it have the cool sounding intersection tone on it??
Nah it doesn't. Just two tones - warble and whoop.
That's a power call and adam12 siren
Thats all you need, the classics!
80% of Firefighters are Volunteer in America! That is a crazy fact!
IN MY STATE WE (LEO's) CRACKED DOWN HARD ON DRIVERS WHO DO NOT MOVE OUT OF THE WAY FOR THESE GUYS!
Just imagine the traffic behind them after all of that
time to wake the neighbors lol great siren action
Like suggested below, PA seems to help. How about retractable side mirrors to ease your passage in a tight squeeze? Respect for the way you guys are handling this.
How about just take the wide-open emergency shoulder on the right-hand side all the way down.
Gotta love that Q!
awsome video
Looks like a light day on I-81 to me, 10 mile back up is normal in the tri-state.
Unit of a driver, very well done to him. What a mess.
Good god that wasn't traffic that was "you take the hose and pass it to the next man who passes it to the next" build-a-chain!
A wise man once told me "IF IM UP YOUR UP"
That poor big rig you kept honking at didn’t know what to do since you had been going on the side and had room to keep going, he didn’t know if you wanted him to stay there or move over.
Never hear sirens on empty roads where I live. Only intersections and traffic
Well if they aren't using a siren and a vehicle pulls out in front of them they are at fault. If the siren is on the other driver is at fault.
Yeah but these are Vollys and they live for Code 3 driving and eating junk food.
Never heard a siren that first started like that before.
fucking love this driver for naillllinnnnggggg and hammmerrringggg on the siren and horn it's nutty
6:35
6:24-6:26 Quickest comeback for a fire truck
What’s the average response team for this VFD?
Do they still give out tickets for people not moving out of the way of emergency vehicles? If not, they should
WE LOVE YOU GUYS! AMAZING VIDEO!
The dilemma, emergency lane in the middle, or leave the shoulder open. In North America: Leave the shoulder open
13-02 they finally break free cheers brothers let it Rip
Good job my dear friend 👍👏👏👏💐🌹🙏👌😎⭐⭐⭐
Are y'all not posting videos any more pics really miss them
That’s intense af!!!
OMG i Love the U.S. sirens but #RIP eardrums
What a Traffic ! : (
Me in the drivers set “move b*tch get out the way”
Threading the world's biggest needle... stated ironically of course.
A big needle would be easier... never mind, you get it.
Now is that Q siren being controlled by the co-pilot on his foot?? Is that how it works?
12:37 cuack cuack cuack its the duck on the street lol
It's mainly the trucks, if they don't have enough room to pull off their trailers will be sticking out
Where's your station at? Im thinking about joining in near future.
BoneFishCrocodile Supreme we’re located in Buchanan, VA at 19670 Main St. We’re always looking for new members so we’d enjoy to have ya on.
Did you ever join?
but i will give you credit for the traffic / log jam.
I legend got anxiety just watching this. Fuck I need a bowl and a cig
