I grew up in LA and it was a common practice for first responder vehicles to go against traffic because as you can see the general public forgets what they're supposed to do when they hear sirens and see flashing lights.
@@dripskee6443 LMAO yeah you hear sirens all around you and you would not get confused? I taught apparatus operators in the Fire Service for a number of years, Myself and other instructors NEVER taught operators to do something like that. Have a good day.
it’s required for all emergency vehicles to have a steady burning red light, not 100% sure why, im sure if you google it you can find the technicalities
@@socalfirebuff91377 My dad was a cop in So Cal. He started back about 1948. The requirement for the minimum solid red light forward, from what I recall him saying, is two fold. In California the only forward facing red lights allowed are emergency vehicles. The solid - as in non-flashing - is to eliminate the potential of a quick glance in a mirror, or to the sides, etc., happening at the same time as a the being in the "off" part of a cycle.
The yellow with blue and white Ventura county. LA county is actually like dark orange And gold not red they do have black over orange on the cafs engines with gold striping
Do I really gotta time stamp all the Unitrol equipped units or do we just thank the man in operations buying Pathfinders and programming them with Unitrol tones after Uni got discontinued??? 💞💞💞💞💞💖💖💖💖💖 (SSP got disc. too but it was basically a Pathfinder with less features)
Questions y don't they get help by local police to open traffic for them won't take that long it takes them more time when people don't get out there way
There was a tender, i just missed it, and in ventura the only time a type 3 really responds is if it’s a very large fire with access issues, this one was not the largest and the units operating had access to it.
Besides the forest service, blm, park service, i respect cal fire a lot, why? With cal fire every body works, even the engineer. With city fire depts or county, the engineer stays at the engine, the captain or LT send the FF to do the job while they watch. Cal fire get shit done from structure, to brush fires, i was with a county fire, decided to join cal fire you can actually feel the brotherhood
Cal Fire and all of the brush based departments have members tough as nails, love to see them at work, thank you for commenting, and I hope the service is treating you kindly!
You're comparing apples to oranges. On a structure fire the first due engines' officer will assume IC until relieved. The engineer has to be at the pumps to deliver water. Officers and engineers definitely do go into the fires when manpower and resources permit. On a wildland fire, it is mostly handwork so you don't need someone monitoring the pumps. Even on wildland engines the pumps don't need to be monitored as closely as they do on a structure fire. CAL Fire most certainly does the same thing as other departments do when they respond to structure fires. Wildland and structure are two entirely different types of operations.
No that's not why. Wildland firefighter's utilize water management and most of our firefighting is done by removing the fuel from the fire. We need so many engines because we need the manpower and have big fires.
Or maybe, just maybe, it was a quarter acre because of this response. A quarter acre can turn into 100 acres and 50 homes in just a few hours. It is ALWAYS best to have to turn units around than to call form more when you could have had them a hour ago.
Love the camera shake at 0:46 that shit made me jump when I saw an ambulance pass by us once too
I love how that q siren starts up. What an amazing catch u got there!!!
As someone who lived in Washington state for a long time, our fire departments take brush fired extremley seriously.
Johnny Gage would be complaining to Dixie McCall and Dr Brackett about those SoCal drivers.
underrated comment
Haha, for sure! XD
SoCal drivers will move in every direction for an emergency vehicle, except to the right.
Sick catches dude. That’s a huge response
thanks!
Lots of drivers do not know how to react when a emergency vehicle is around them
Great catches ! Massive am mount of units
LoL, looks like that first trucks air horn made you jump a bit. Great catches though.
Yup
VCFD Engines are staffed with three firefighters, trucks are staffed with four firefighters, water tender, and patrol units with only one firefighter.
Great Video! Really lucky to get all this footage
I like how there are two AMR ambos and are like not doing anything to ensure the firefighters pass by
First vid with a bunch of hand crew buggies responding. Love it
It was a very lucky catch
That last unit in the first clip had an immense amount of balls driving suicide
Yup they were not fooling around

Not a smart move either, it confused drivers. Stay with the lead.
@@mtnride4930 they have right of way, plus more people look forward than back

0:40 bro got scared by the horn
No LAFD units in the video all LA County FD and Ventura County fire department
LACoFD is saying LA county FD, the Co means county..
Thousand Oaks PD would have a field day writing Failure to Yield tickets
Do the engines of the states carry water their selfs or are they in need of a hydran instead?
They carry a bit of water themselves, but would need a hydrant to flow for a while.
@@socalfirebuff91377 how much the tank contains?
@@Thug-12Na Usually 750-1500 gallons
@SoCalFireBuff9137 7 why do all CA emergency vehicles have on solid red/blue light? I am from the east coast, and I've never seen that feature

I know Scott was bummed about canceling dozer 14. Dozer 14 is stationed at VCFD station 45 which is a couple of blocks from my house
out of all the equipment rolling, dozer 14 was my favorite, so much so I went digging for some pics of it or other VC dozers for my desktop background
@@MikeT-TheRetiredColonel yeah I love it too 👍👍🔥🔥
@@MikeT-TheRetiredColonel Mike I have pics of dozer 14 if you like. From station 45.
Awesome video!
Which Gimbal did you use? Looks to me the Pictrues are bit more wobbly than it should be. Maybe setup has to be refined?
I don’t got a tripod or anything, I just hold it with my hands.
@@socalfirebuff91377 Then you really should upgrade. You will see a major difference in the Quality.
@@danielvogt9371 upgrade how so
Great footage of all agencies responding 👏 👍
The yellow with blue and white Ventura county. LA county is actually like dark orange And gold not red they do have black over orange on the cafs engines with gold striping
amazing bro keep it up:)
Tp 14 is in Simi valley
What kind of siren is that on the LaCo fd trucks
touchmaster
@@socalfirebuff91377 Awesome thank you
Do I really gotta time stamp all the Unitrol equipped units or do we just thank the man in operations buying Pathfinders and programming them with Unitrol tones after Uni got discontinued??? 💞💞💞💞💞💖💖💖💖💖 (SSP got disc. too but it was basically a Pathfinder with less features)
ye
What was the maker/model of that dozer?? looked cool
couldn’t tell you
Was a cat looked like a D7 but didn't get good enough of a look
What an amazing video!!😍
thanks
Amazing catches
Sounds Like a Train Horn
Salute those firefighter going into that heat Jesus I want to be a cop but I couldn't find the courage to not run from that heat
I see people get their licenses from Cracker Jack boxes.
Questions y don't they get help by local police to open traffic for them won't take that long it takes them more time when people don't get out there way
You’d have to have a cop either follow them the whole way or shut down the entire road and that would back it up anyways
I found it odd that there were no Type 3s or Tenders in that whole parade!
There was a tender, i just missed it, and in ventura the only time a type 3 really responds is if it’s a very large fire with access issues, this one was not the largest and the units operating had access to it.
@@socalfirebuff91377 also the type 3 engines probably on another fire doing mutual aid.
Meaning VCFD type 3 engines
I BELIEVE VCFD TYPE 3 TRUCKS WERE ON A MUTUAL AID.
6:00 Ha, that looks like Squad 51s brother! XD

California! Better than Texas ever will be! God Bless these firefighters!
Need lots of engines, because they only have 500g water.
No that's not why. Wildland firefighter's utilize water management and most of our firefighting is done by removing the fuel from the fire. We need so many engines because we need the manpower and have big fires.
i hate when trucks leave the wail on , besides that great video
That's a ton of response for a quarter acre . Little bit of over kill.
Always good to have too many resources than too little resources
Or maybe, just maybe, it was a quarter acre because of this response.

I understand I have fought some large forest fires in Ohio, Tennessee,and North Carolina.It's exiting being a fire fighter.
HOLY SHIT THEY WENT UP THE WRONG WAY ON A HIGHWAY FOR A BRUSH FIRE
I don't know what highway you're looking at but okay lol
Well, a "brush fire' turns in to 100 home really fast.
@@PartiallyCooked Outside of Californian, highways are not typically limited access. Many are, but most are not.
@@Caderic Yeah, but the road right there is not considered a highway. That's the point I'm trying to make.
@@PartiallyCooked USPS Really WOW. Does your boss know your commenting on youtube videos at work?
nice 😀
Cali dont fuck around wen its fires
no sir!
Man, why do Lafd trucks have to be so generic looking? everything else is great but the trucks are so bland and boring.

Who has the ugly yellow trucks lol ????
