I like these POV response videos... It gives the viewer an idea of just how large some of these fire districts can be, as well as how far a fire company has to travel sometimes to get to an emergency...
Wait... That was just to get to the station!!! You guys work hard in the rural areas. I live in a Long Island NY suburb and by the time I hear the siren go off near my house, I already see lights flying by and chief trucks moving to the call. I see 4-5 cars rolling into the station within 3 minutes of the call, plus those who are just hanging out at the station.
Also, for those who are wondering, the volunteers in my area can only have all-blue or blue/white or green lights (absolutely no sirens aloud -really no need for them). Most don't even have to use their lights. Many volunteers live close enough where they could probably run or bike to the station within 4-8 minutes of receiving a call. A lot of that has to do with the layout of my community but it is awesome to have volunteer fire/medic at your door within 10 minutes of a call.
I retired out of a career metro FD after some 25 years and similar from the military But I still volunteer in the county I now live in Its a mixed high desert and mountain area of nearly 4,000 square miles Response times on pavement can run an hour and cover 100+ miles Dirt road, USFS road, etc, responses can take 2+ hours
Go do it, it's Awesome I've been doing it since 1994 and I Absolutely Love it, I'm on 2 Departments one Department in the Town I live and the other Department where I work for a Town Highway and my Boss is Also the Fire Chief you'll Love It
Go for it girl!! My wife serves in our ambulance squad and I am a firefighter, there is a job for everyone who is willing to serve. I'm sure you will be a great addition to their team!
My bus driver is a paramedic for the local volunteer fire department. Multiple times she has had to stop driving for us to respond. We have a backup driver. One time they brought the ambulance to the school to pick her up.
Lucky-moto / / Luke Irvine so with a working fire, we have another station the response with us. They were primary on the fire. But yeah I was the first one there lol.
It would also be very dangerous and expensive as every member then needs a Car and also the equipment. Also in germany there would be a Problem with the cars insurance
@@noname-yo6yn They don't all need a car. The ones who already have one could just equip it with the needed equipment. But yes it would indeed be very dangerous and require more awareness training/courses probably. The insurance thing probably would be the slightest issue. As Germany is very proud of their volunteer system I'm sure they would be quick to come up with some kind of special insurance for volunteers.
There would be absolutely no excuse for doing 100 mile an hour responding code. not only are you putting yourself in danger at that speed but you are also putting the general public in danger. At 100 mile an hour you will have barely any reaction time if something was to come up that's why when you run emergency light and siren you go through evoc for a State certified driver's training program for firefighters. For us running late and siren in Michigan we are allowed to exceed the speed limit by 10 mile an hour so if I am in a 55 I can be doing 65 with my lights and siren activated. you have to absolutely drive with due regard. God forbid you hit and kill somebody going to a call. You would definitely not want to have to live the rest of your life knowing that you killed somebody because the way you were driving
@@robrivait8545 absolutely agree 100% with you. Got to drive fast but safely enough so you can react to anything that comes up and keep good control of your vehicle. In Puerto Rico we are also limited to 10 to 15 miles over the posted limit and to the speed limit on bad weather. We are also required to take the EVOC and request an Emergency Vehicle Certification for our POV's. They basically check the vehicle to make sure it is completely roadworthy and all emergency lights and siren comply with regulations.
Idk where he is but in Arkansas where I am a volunteer firefighter law just say respond in due regard for public safety so we can go as fast as we want basically
I agree 100% Police can justify running code at over 100 because they are trained on an EVOC & have properly maintained vehicles! A Braking system on a Police Car is far different from one on a Toyota!
@@CITYNEWSSUPPORT Not really. Brakes are brakes. I have a 2014 Ford Explorer Police Utility. It is a municipal plated vehicle, with red lights and an expensive siren. The brake system is no different than my personal cars.
Love your siren bro and that was some driving . I don't know why you guys have to drive the speed limit ... I mean look how far you had to the station . Now I know you sir didn't go the speed limit but hey if there is a call I say hammer down . Stay safe out there . And much respect
Yeah, in smaller towns half the response time is just the firefighters actually getting to the station since many municipalities can't afford to pay firefighters to stay at the station full time.
The “blue light law” here is so outdated. What’s the point of a “courtesy light?” Make mandatory yields and let us run siren (at chief’s discretion so if someone’s being a jack wagon about it he can just strip them of that privilege). Let us keep blue to differentiate from police, that’s fine. Just mandatory yielding would be nice. And sirens for intersections and such.
so got pulled into these type of videos yesterday and now sitting here watching this and I KNOW WHERE THIS IS... holy shit Hinesville... I grew up here and went to high school at LCHS and was later stationed at Ft. Stewart. That was a nice and unexpected bonus. Be safe out there.
At 3:23 that silver car was not stopping at all 🤦🏾♂️ could’ve been fatal at that speed it also how slow he was going but I also know he was a little far back to hear the sirens and idk if he has lights on the side of the car
@@vacexpert2020 Tough crowd in Illinois. Lol. I live in the countryside of NY...no one cares so long as you get to the scene safely. Lol. Thank you for your selfless service out there!!
Awesome siren use! Do you also have lateral or top mounted strobes, or just the front ones? I'm asking because people in the 1st intersection had no intention to yield, maybe they didn't saw your lights, idk, I'm curious. Thanks!
MagnnumCarCam at the time of this video I didn’t have full 360. They were mounted but not wired. But I have 180 degree optics on my fusions on front which you can see from the side But not enough so I later added more.
Question is this a company car or private if private I love that you guys can fit your cars up like this the country I live in it’s frowned apron to do that

@@Brownpenguin115 I’d just contact the chief of the department you end up joining. Even if the county allows it, some individual departments may not allow it.

I’m covered 360 Degrees and some when responding to calls.
@@redlinerescue6533 They're all red. The dash lights are 40 degree optics and the bumper fusions are 180. I wanted to throw as much light forward as possible considering it's a corolla and people dont like to move for a little car lol
We're supposed to follow as many road rules as possible and arrive on scene safely. However, when responding to a structure fire, medical call, MVA or anything of that serious nature, our main priority becomes arriving as quickly (and safely) as possible to save lives.
Yeah I finally figured it out it wasn't Texas when I saw all the trees. We aren't exactly known for our lush vegetation. The little bit we do have just goes up in our annual brush fires.
We aren’t aloud to go over the speed limit or accelerate quickly in our POV sadly we have to rely on people seeing our lights and pulling over and giving us the right away
@@patrickharvey158 As if you are driving normally on the road, you are allowed to drive a little bit faster, otherwise you have to abide by all regulations. Sometimes it's frustrating, but what should you do. We can't also use any other light, such as these green lights.

This is almost as stressful to watch as it is to actually drive in this situation.
imagine having a Lamborghini as a pov while responding
this guy was smashinggggggg LMAO love it!
Good on letting the other station's firefighter know about the call in progress.
Unglaublich, diese teilweise extrem langen Anfahrszeiten... Hoffentlich ging alles gut
Hey great content, any chance we could get an exterior tour of your equipment and sirens?

if u dont mind me asking what was your average speed on the way to the station
I have no clue. I don’t do this anymore and it was a long time ago.

why does your dash light look amber
Probably because his state only allows Amber. Mine only allows 2 blue LEDs in the dash and that's it.
