@@ffjsb I'm not saying it is, but merely giving the driver mad props for his control. That truck has an impressive-looking handling ability on not-so-pleasant roads...
My longest code run was 52 miles, from city to mountains, late in the afternoon with lots of traffic. If I could have made a video of that run it would have been very frustrating to watch. Lots of people with their heads up their patoots, little to no situational awareness, plenty of people pulling to the left (?), some panicking and stopping in place. Do us a favor, simply pull to the right and stop. Thanks.
So I was watching this vid as I often do. I am not from Pa but I am very familiar with the area. When you pulled up to the Ocean State Job Lot I was floored. Now when I move down there I will feel more at home. Great vid as always!
Sorry for all the false alarm calls you get. I monitor fire & security panels for residential and commercial buildings. I've had less than 5 real fire alarms. On occasion a pipe/sprinkler head is broken and that causes the waterflow system to be triggered. Also college students are bad cooks. ;D
It's an apparatus emergency light, also known as the Roto Ray, composed of three red or white beacons, the apparatus spins at a high rates of speed connected to the engine so it catches better attention of drivers instead of standard flashing lights
It's attached front and center of the rig's radiator, in other words, roughly rear-view-window level of most cars & SUV's. The "ridiculous" spinning warning beacon is an effective (albeit low tech) attention-getter, assuming drivers are paying proper attention to their rear view. More common in some US regions than others. Variations of almost every color combination exist, 3 red, 3 white, or 2 red and 1 white being most common. May sometimes feature one amber or green. Red/white/blue is of course also a popular choice.
our HEALTH and SAFETY department would be having fits. if that vehicle touched UK shores it would be seized and impounded for having a dangerous spinny light thing on the front. you could hurt butterflys with that thing

Welcome back. You’ve been missed. Excellent run.
Thanks!
Nice safe ride with plenty of traffic to play in!! Good job guys.
Thank you!
As a FF EMT...... I gotta say...... this is ASMR to me
Oh how I’ve missed these videos! Glad your teammate got his milkshake lol. Stay safe out there!
Y'all we're on a MISSION. Props to the chauffeur for handling that thing at speed like it was a damn sports car!
It's NOT a sports car, and shouldn't be driven as such. I wouldn't call that driving it like a sports car anyway.

Now that was some high speed response!
that grassy area with all those cars looked like a community rock concert instead of a fair
Enjoyed the ride along 👍🏻👍🏻
🎉🎉Great video please produce more thanks
Thanks!
@@Fire-Rescue50 No problem brotha stay safe.
Only way I can sleep is with a Q2B in the background with a fair amount of horn
It's always a pleasure to watch your Willow St. ride alongs. Question: what kind of festival or fest it was at the beginning?
looked like possibly a car show? i know when i lived in PA they were fairly popular
Love the footage. Any plans for doing any helmet cam footage?
There's a couple vids on his channel with helmet cam footage. Gotta be careful what ya show so I'm sure a lot of it isn't uploadable
Did you respond from an ice cream stand?
From the township fair haha. But they have the best milkshakes
my man only needs to roll down the window to hear it better than its perfect.
Why, so you can't hear the radio and you lose your hearing??
What was going on in the field next to your FD there? I'm from NorLanCo (Adamstown). Is that the Field of Screams event I always hear about?
Nice, liked and shared 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒

@@JustAntNoJazz oh shut up.
@@JustAntNoJazz I'll pass. The Devil has given me more than God has.
What camera are you using? And just suction cup on the window I assume?
Was this a false alarm
are you a vol. fire dept?
Awesome response. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
Where were you guys staged? At an event going on?
They were at a township fair until the call
Can someone explain to me what that ridiculous rotating light on the bottom left is all about?
