This is the channel where the guy honks the horn a lot yeah? I remember watching some videos like that a while ago and was trying to find the channel again.
Of course he uses the horn a lot because there is two firetrucks coming. Often ppl think "Oh they already passed". Hard to distinguish two sirens close by. And drivers don't think a extra time..
according to that argument, we would have to blast the horns when we respond in a convoy of 3 to 10 apparatus as well? But we don't ... no need for that
To your point, early on you see the pick up start trying to go after the first truck crossed the intersection and then stop once he starts pulling the horn
And if you could ever be a red cap wich you won’t you’d be pulling that horn waiting for your boyfriends present. Shut the fuck up and stay off these videos pansy
@@-Sean_ No dying down is the downward wail. Sweeping into those low notes gives extreme range too. People were able to hear the Chrysler V8 Victory Air Raid siren from catalina Island 30 miles away when it wailed down.
My dad was a fire fighter 27 years. I've rode along with him and the other firemen to fires and vehicle accidents and got to control the sirens and air horn along the route to the fire call location. I had a blast every time!!
The compressor didn't run out of anything, it just supplies air (or gas) to the tank. And the tank didn't run out of air. It ran out of pressure. There was still air in the tank (atmospheric pressure), just not enough to do anything useful with.

Doing that many years ago, the problem is cars are quieter inside now, and people tend to turn their car radio too high, and horns are a lower frequency. Mature folks, in particular men loose the higher end of their hearing. So keep on "Horning" them.
Yes! I completely trust our first responders to use their best judgment as to appropriate signaling. If some unaware child ran in front of the truck, those same know-it-alls would be saying “why didn’t they use the horn”
Autistic retards. They do this on marine radio distress calls too. "Reeee he didn't speak the words exactly like in the book/my retarded imagination". Mentally retarded idiots.
This truly is nothing, basically an 8 minute response. Not first due, so there were already other units on scene. Yeah thats basically typical response time even for a suburban fire department. Yeah it may be long in length (no much traffic or anything) but its not long in time (lack of traffic and lights in general causes not many slowdowns in response).
@@KandiKlover truly this isn't even a true rural FD. This is nothing compared to what I've seen. A Town/Small City FD responding MA to a neighboring small/mid sized city is what this is. I've seen 200-300 square mile areas covered by two VFDs operating out of two stations. That is true rural FDs. Many times in those instances, if its a week day, yeah there is zero staffing, total volunteer with no one manning the station. So you have to add the time to respond to the station to get a unit to the response time. Many times in those cases 1 or 2 people per piece will go to the station while the remaining manpower will arrive POV.
3:05 lmao even when his fellow fire fighter says he'll pull the horn when they need it don't worry about it, he does not give 2 shits and pulls it anyway
AinsleyWantsYouHome from what I’m assuming he was probably mad because not enough air was getting to the horns which make that high pitch screech sound
I wanted to meet or see the guy driving the fire truck! He's a real good and safe driver! That was a cool ride along!! I also liked the guy that was operating that horn!! When we were little we used to sit in the back of the wagon and motion to the truckers to pull on that horn.. Most of them did.. this guy would have been my FAVORITE!!
OK, I am one minute in and if people don't see it by now, they never will. The engine we are riding in is the second one travelling down the same road. Civilians will hear a siren, see a fire engine, or ambulance, or police car go through and think to themselves, OK, "there they go" and proceed through the intersection when the second siren they are hearing (but not realizing it) is just about now entering the same intersection. I have responded to those secondary accidents multiple times. Usually the problems we had on those accidents is the responding engine, ambulance, squad (what ever) went on the first run and we would have to respond from a farther distance.
that's why we usually respond in a convoy of let's say 3 to 10 appartus at the first alarm (whatever the specific convoy from a certain station looks like). Drivers realize that there are several units approaching, and without a huge gap in between, they won't just start driving while the next apparatus is about to enter the intersection
When I see a fire engine zooming by with a siren I listen for another. And I don't think I'm a genius. I think most of us realize that fire engines often travel in pairs or groups in an emergency.
When a civilian in a stopped car, hearing a sirene, is not able to look again to the left or the right side, if there comes another unit or not, he is stupid. As long as I hear sirenes, I have to react carefully.
You people who dislike the air horn use wouldn't like to be in a truck with me in control of the horn because I think it's one of the highlights of driving/riding in a fire truck
That's not how it works. More horn usage means desensitizing drivers to the sound of emergency vehicles, making them react less quickly. Also it's deafeningly loud, and can stress people out, causing more danger.
@New England Patriots if you know anything you would realize what he said is true. Yeah I love it as much as the next person but if you use it all the time people will just ignore it. The very reason Power Call tends to work is not many people are used to hearing it (basic Power Call, let alone the intersection mode which will truly clear an intersection faster than anything outside someone standing there shooting a gun). Same reason there is talks in some departments to start using European style sirens. They may sound stupid but think about it, if you hear that when you are driving its going to grab you attention very quick. Truthfully there is a such thing as too much horn and too much Q no matter how good it sounds.
Dude you would be ridding layout not my OiC. Horn at intersections only, federal FtW. Hell if your gonna drain out my air tanks for my brakes. I could only watch a portion and skip annoyance

Thank God I was hurt but I was close getting hurt or killed.
Was thinking, boy does that all look familiar. Then when you all passed the Pink Elephant, then saw the Rt 60 West sign. Visit my son down there 3-4 times a year. Good job getting there.
Never understood windscreen. Screen is on windows and doors to allow summer breezes to flow through. They are windshield wipers, because it shields you from the wind.
very awesome response, great siren and airhorn work to get to a house fire safely. up in rhode island we do have Q sirens, when i was an acting officer for a volunteer dept i'd always start the electronic siren, then blast the Q if theres alot of traffic but great response guys
This is how many time the passenger beside the driver pulled the rope letting the tank release air to the compressor making air come out of the air horn 👇
He sure loves that horn. But they are heroes they are risking their life to keep us safe thank you so much I am trying to be a state trooper for my area and trying to be a firefighter also
I don't see the issue with the excessive air horn use. going through the residential neighborhood at the end was a bit excessive and typically my company runs with no sirens or horns in places like that. HOWEVER, as we saw at the beginning of the video, drivers tend to associate 2 sirens with one vehicle. in this instance, where two trucks are driving in tandem, drivers may associate the two siren tones to one rig. i've seen it a lot where we'll be driving in tandem like that, and a car will pull out right in front of us. it's usually older folks but still. the use of the air horn isn't hurting anything, cmon now.
Moon Scar You never know when a careless squirrel or similar mammal will dart across the road. #livesmatter! Best to be overcautious and blow that horn eh?
Cannot have a fire department every 5 miles, so it is normal. Best to respect all regulations, there are good reasons for most things, including fire prevention.
More concerned with that than reading PPE, speaking to his crew, studying information in the computer. Typical along for the siren infused ride, common in the volunteer fire service
Well that is stupid, I was always told to pull over when I was younger and learning to drive. I still do it many yrs later today. I have a bumper sticker on my car that reads No one ever said you need a brain to drive. You should see all the dirty looks I get from people. Lol
I'm sure a lot of the air horn was because they're the second truck, and it's not always clear where the siren noise is coming from, so people may think they emergency vehicle has passed and not look behind them again before pulling out.
@@lbn1188 A lot of people freeze up and panic because they're trying to get out of the way but don't know the right way to go, many videos of people trying to avoid but end up turning the wrong way
Yeah, he's blowing the horn a lot - they're encountering vehicles that aren't stopping or getting out of the way, or are approaching from side streets, and the fire truck is going through red lights and stop signs.
"What's your job?"
"I honk on a firetruck"
"Really, just that?"
"Well... I also help fight the fire when we get there, but that's not the main part"

I came close to getting killed because I was up on the roof and I cutting a hole in the roof and trying to push the roof were we were cutting and step off the ladder with a pike pole and pushing it down when the roof collapsed and I went down with it and next thing I know I look up and I was in the house fully involved with flames all round me i saw the front door and it was closed so I drive through the front window to get out. Thank God I was hurt but I was close getting hurt or killed.
6:02 👏👏👏👏 LOL he was so fed up with people not stopping he nearly ripped the airhorn cord off of the ceiling..!
Nice video brothas.
Thanks jimmy and crew
Haha the man pulling the horn is something I’d do whatever it takes for them to get faster and keep other drivers safe is 🙌🏼
Could of used the horn a little more
it needs more cowbell
If you don't want somebody it hit you? You could fit the Q-Siren some more....I would Stand on that
Ikr? Not enough
Joe Smoe put a train horn on it. You’ll have no problem getting through traffic.
Jim B don’t let off! Just lightly lay on it the whole way there
More horn!
If he runs out of horn, he can always use more cow bell.

UES MORE
Dude pullign that horn looks like a blast
I'm a Jr. FF it is an awesome experience, you get to do a lot of work and you help a lot!
These are the men of the Barboursville Volunteer Fire Department located at 721 Central Ave
Barboursville, West Virginia.
Have to say I love the horn usage! Nice job! 😊
I love when i hear the horns honestly it is extremely awesome.
Was thinking, boy does that all look familiar. Then when you all passed the Pink Elephant, then saw the Rt 60 West sign. Visit my son down there 3-4 times a year. Good job getting there.
the windscreen wipers going at different speeds would drive me insane
yah
Just ruined the vid for me
Never understood windscreen. Screen is on windows and doors to allow summer breezes to flow through. They are windshield wipers, because it shields you from the wind.
Wow the amount of people that fail to pull over is amazing
I mean, if the lane is open and he has room to pass without having to go around anyone and isn't being obstructed; I don't really see the issue.
@@blazzing_fury2425 because you never know which way he will go and not to mention it's the law.
that looks like so much fun pulling the horn
That engine sure sounds amazing
very awesome response, great siren and airhorn work to get to a house fire safely. up in rhode island we do have Q sirens, when i was an acting officer for a volunteer dept i'd always start the electronic siren, then blast the Q if theres alot of traffic but great response guys
My God, I can’t believe how far how far they’re going.
Yeah, 7 minutes to a structure as first due? Then they get on scene, and not a bit of smoke showing?
Great video love watching it. Do more ride along videos I be watching
I don’t know why...but that brings me happy tears to see the fire chief having a good old blast on that horn
bruh those wipers were triggering my ocd
This is how many time the passenger beside the driver pulled the rope letting the tank release air to the compressor making air come out of the air horn
👇
All firefighters are heroes. In America and The Netherlands, all over the world !!!
Damn good driving on a long haul... Damn that’s a long way to go
That town knows when to pull over on the side of the road not every town or city does
GO GET EM BROTHERRRRRRRRRRRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F YAAAA!!!!!!! Lol
michael hanretty that’s a 10-4 right there brother !!
@@jacobhudson554 10-4
He sure loves that horn.
But they are heroes they are risking their life to keep us safe thank you so much I am trying to be a state trooper for my area and trying to be a firefighter also
Beautiful response
6:05 the passenger almost pulls the horn from the roof 😆😆😆
I got a fever, and the only cure is... more air horn.
Timothy Greene damn right!
More Air Horn! As a former first responder it was great to see the view from the cab and see how people that were not smart ie: Ford truck guy!
I just recently applied for firefighter training and I seriously hope I get in. This is my passion!
Did you get in?
How's it going. You get in?
you got in or something ?
I don't see the issue with the excessive air horn use. going through the residential neighborhood at the end was a bit excessive and typically my company runs with no sirens or horns in places like that. HOWEVER, as we saw at the beginning of the video, drivers tend to associate 2 sirens with one vehicle. in this instance, where two trucks are driving in tandem, drivers may associate the two siren tones to one rig. i've seen it a lot where we'll be driving in tandem like that, and a car will pull out right in front of us. it's usually older folks but still. the use of the air horn isn't hurting anything, cmon now.
dude, at the end he was in an open field and blew the horn with no one around
Moon Scar You never know when a careless squirrel or similar mammal will dart across the road. #livesmatter! Best to be overcautious and blow that horn eh?
Low call volume dept or volunteer's overly excited...Excessive Air horn = come outside and look at me !
you dont nide to be rude to the firedps in the world the nedd to be fast on the fire sene
god comit
5:38 oh my f***ing God he is going ham
Brings back many memories.....
4:44 bro was pulling the horn so hard it stopped working 😂😂
Never saw it take someone so long to get to a structure fire, I'm a volunteer and we get there faster than that
volunteers also have their own vehicles that are much faster than a big rig...
Damn 7 minutes to get there, house done burnt down.
I love the Manual Operation from the airhorns!!
Awesome driving
9/10 needs more horn
I'm shocked how far they had to go and how long it took to respond. These poor guys can't get a chance if it was serious.
that's a normal long response run in most western European countries with a high population density
Yes they do they are doing a great job doing it to this is in Barboursville west Virginia
Cannot have a fire department every 5 miles, so it is normal. Best to respect all regulations, there are good reasons for most things, including fire prevention.
Gyayandotte station was closer. Was that the blocking traffic truck.
Don't be , What If we didn't have these guys And gal's
"responding to a small kitchen fire?" I have tears in my eyes I'm laughing so much. thank you! I really needed that.
Thanks for getting there fast
anyone else bothered by the windshield wipers not being in sync
Yes, I am bothered too.
Anonymous not until you pointed it out. Fuck
Vids ruined now
There individual controls. Meaning 2 knobs that's why there Out of sync.
Officer sure is into blowing the air horn.
prolly not all he likes blowing
shane stamball 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
More concerned with that than reading PPE, speaking to his crew, studying information in the computer. Typical along for the siren infused ride, common in the volunteer fire service
that guy is a moron, I would pull him out of that cab and beat his ass
A guywithagardenhose Going through a MAJOR intersection you incompetent fool.
sounds like the first time i rode officer :) good vid
I love the horn its sound really good with the sirens
Right
People should learn to pull over when you have a fire truck coming at you
KevynJ4838 the law states they aren’t required to its a “if they want to be respectful” which I think is bullshit
Well that is stupid, I was always told to pull over when I was younger and learning to drive. I still do it many yrs later today. I have a bumper sticker on my car that reads No one ever said you need a brain to drive. You should see all the dirty looks I get from people. Lol
I know here in Michigan it's a state law
I'm sure a lot of the air horn was because they're the second truck, and it's not always clear where the siren noise is coming from, so people may think they emergency vehicle has passed and not look behind them again before pulling out.
@@lbn1188 A lot of people freeze up and panic because they're trying to get out of the way but don't know the right way to go, many videos of people trying to avoid but end up turning the wrong way
Yeah, he's blowing the horn a lot - they're encountering vehicles that aren't stopping or getting out of the way, or are approaching from side streets, and the fire truck is going through red lights and stop signs.
Thanks My first firetruck ride at age 37.
I drive with my window cracked, so I can hear the sirens & air horn. Gotta love that air horn and Q siren!!
