[POV] This is How the BEST Firefighters Drive
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- Welcome. We are back in Amsterdam, the capital of The Netherlands. This time we tag along with the firefighters of Fire Station Pieter, one of the many firefighter stations in this big city. The crew just got an emergency call about a gas leak and are about to leave the station.
For the second ride, emergency the firefighters are called in for assistance during a resuscitation. We leave the station on route to our destination. When the emergency room receives a call for CPR, they always alert the police and the nearest fire department too. With so many fire stations in the city the fire fighters are most likely the first emergency responders on the scene. This is extremely important, especially with CPR, when a fast response time is crucial for the survival chances of the victim.
If you’re fascinated by sirens, flashing lights, and the critical work of first responders, you’re in the right place. Our channel provides a unique perspective-literally-from the driver’s seat of police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks. We collect various videos from all over the world and add insightful context and commentary.

Awesome how the driver acknowledges other drivers doing the right thing.
Fun fact: All over the Netherlands are AEDs mounted in public areas, if you have your CPR certificate you can sign up for a service to get alerts on your phone to grab one of these and respond to a CPR call. I have once beaten the "blue light" responders by mere seconds purely because the AED was 130m from my house and the patient ~200m from the AED. Didn't even get a chance to enter the house as by the time I had rang the bell police told me to stay outside and flag down the ambulance. I suspect they did so to protect me from whatever scene was inside, and I'm still thankful for them to this day.
also every emergency vehicle has one on board. so every Ambulance (of course) but also every police and fire department vehicle has one on board.
as for your example: they probably did that because they know what type of training they have had, and they know each other. so it's better for them to administer first aid/CPR than have a "stranger" along with them.
but if necessary they would have asked you to help, it's better to have to much help than to little. (as long as you're not standing in the way of the people that are helping the patient)
I think we have this in the U.K. too. Community First Responsers
I have the same service; HartslagNu for Dutch people who are interested. Once was significantly earlier, minutes. Very close to my job. Person was already dead for a while but I knew that only when I touched him and started CPR. I knew that was useless, but starting and then instantly stopping again didn’t seem great for the family standing by and watching
We definitely have this in the UK. You can go for different levels of first aid and license similar to having an SIA badge for security work.
I've got a basic level 3 first aid license but you can as I said go further if you wanted. This means we can act as first responder if needed in a real life situation. Hope that helps!
It's the same in Scotland there's AEDs in public places. When you phone the ambulance service they can direct you to the nearest one.
It’s obvious that the chauffeur didn’t have the first day in his job.❤❤❤
It's unbelievable how quickly they travel along narrow streets, great driving.
In my area for any medical call police are started with the ambulance. If CPR is in progress police, fire, EMT and Paramedics are sent. Police generally arrive first, then EMT, then fire, then Paramedics. Fire takes so long due to stations rotating staffing and having volunteers at night. Excellent driving! I do wish we could see the entirety of the calls though - it's interesting to see the different methods of care that different countries have.
Fire engines are relatively slow due to heavy weight . Police car already on the scene in front of the fire engine.
Fire brigade in Amsterdam are full time professionals 24/7 , bu all 28K dutch volunteers are not inferior at all to the pro's as all training, requirements, response times etc are nationwide equal.
Sounds very inefficient
@@lewiskelly14 Only when you don't consider the 15-30 minute ride to the hospital and how many people are needed to do EFFECTIVE CPR. Not every place has a LUCAS device. The more people available the more each person can recover after doing a round of CPR. Paramedics take 5-15 minutes to arrive.
The inaudible parts are:
2:29
(commander on the right) "It's nice that you're able to drive when you're around for once"
(driver responding) "Extinguishing fires is not a problem, it's done."
I'm assuming the driver is either a volunteer or part-time firefighter, hence the "for once", it's not meant as a critique, but more like a friendly observation.
4:42 "Are there still folks inside?" (then repeated louder)
Thank You!
No fulltime firefighter
Just joking around
Also 3:00 "Yes, I have read your message"
Not only the driver is doing a good job, also the other traffic is very disciplines and give the driver enough room to arrive in time (I hope).
Ofcourse most ppl here in the netherlands learn it in school when your 8 you already know it but you can’t drive
Not for Europe
@@ashwilliams999 yes in europe
@@Just-your-gamer-Lars No, I meant that the streets aren’t narrow for Europe
@@ashwilliams999 oh okay
One thing I hated, and never got used to, whilst in Amsterdam, driving on tram tracks. I think there is an art to it.
Yep there is; let it slip and slide The track is only 12 cm wide (5 inch). Don't brake hard on the track, if necessary just move 12 cm to the left or right. Thats all mate.
man... these roads are really tight...
I'd love to see this man try to run a North American style engine through that. We got some small enough to fit Amsterdam's streets. Also its worth noting that many of Amsterdam's firemen have trained with Chicago and Detroit Fire Department's here in the US, and brought back many useful tricks. We learned a few too.
Yes that used to be and maybe even still is a sort of exchange. There is a reason why we don't have a North American fire truck, well we do but they are two trucks (an engine and a ladder). Gives more flexibility and no North American fire truck is needed for CPR. In case of HAZMAT or something like that we have specialised vehicles that will arrive upon request or when the dispatcher's protocol says so (maybe even a gut feeling, who knows).
@@maxvandenberg955 We have specialized vehicles as well for technical rescue and hazmat, just not in every area. In cities there are dedicated companies that handle those duties, but out in townships and counties 1 or 2 volunteer companies might handle those duties while the rest focus on fire and/or EMS work.
Also we typically run engine and ladder companies too. They are literally the bread and butter of any department. Engine companies are typically assigned as medical first response here in the states to allow for faster treatment in case an ambulance is delayed but otherwise we defer to medic (ambulance) units.
What a lovely channel! It would be splendid to see the same type videos from North America and other parts of the world.
GOD BLESS TO THE REAL LIFE SUPER HERO🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
i love your soft speak sir, stay safe sir :)
IT’S AI
@@TraineePilotJess 😂😂😂😂
The real question is: How did they get Ralph Fiennes to drive the truck?
You couldn't do that here. Our traffic is always backed up except late at night. Our brilliant city leaders took the old RR right of ways and converted them to bike paths rather than light rail. The adjacent municipality with equally backed up vehicular traffic is going to convert a wide green path between two three lane highways and add additional highways rather than the originally planned light rail. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 What is wrong with us?????
Drive one handed is a big NO!
I wonder what's bad about it.
Modern steering??
@@janvanholten7592 Even with modern steering of any kind you don't drive an apparatus with a single hand, doesn't matter if its as small as a pickup truck. Your life, and in turn the lives of the people you serve, depend on you being in total control of the vehicle 100% of the time.
It's not actually illegal here (I checked). We do have a law that does not allow dangerous driving but I have my doubts whether a court would agree that this would be considered as such.
I agree very poor steering wheel control
Nederland is gewoon de beste
Yoooo first les gooo 🎉
Not taking away anything from this professional firefighter but neither of those drives were challenging - they faced little obstacles and had a purpose built lane for them on tram tracks for most of their way. Personally I don’t like single handed wheel holding on emergency runs - it only takes something unexpected and his one hand could easily be dislodged
Yes true, though I believe other cities should take the example of the tram tracks/ bus only roads. It creates space for emergency vehicles and speeds up car traffic bey removing cars from the road. So it's at least a doubble win.
As an advanced driving instructor, I would fail the driver for poor control of the steering!
Ah,...advanced driving instructor, oh jay.....you must bin from the joe-es-of-ee.
For staters, he wasn't participating in an exam, secondly it's not actually illegal here (I checked), we do have a general article (article 5) that basically states: No driver shall act in such manner that is dangerous or could be dangerous that hinders or could hinder traffic. But that is very wide and general law, which I'm not sure if a court would agree that this would be considered dangerous.
What is a CPR ?
CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It's when someone gives chest compressions to a person in cardiac arrest to keep them alive. When a person is in cardiac arrest their heart stops pumping blood, which means their brain gets no oxygen. Without CPR the person will die in minutes.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiopulmonary_resuscitation
Those European ""eee-aaw" horns are terrible - that the UK adopted them is beyond me. They need the American sirens and air horns with the rumble packs as well!
Where in the UK do they have the Mainland European style sirens?
Well, it's mutual! I don't like those American scream things at all.
Yeah, this is clearly not working.
@@Westcountrynordic There are many places across the UK that use martinshorns or the electronic version of, and they have for a long time. I know London Fire Brigade uses North American style sirens though and I think London Metro and City PD do as well.
@@Stargazzer811 They maybe some that use the martins horns but I don't know anybody who use the Dutch, German or French style horns
This is how NOT to do it.
Don't be smart!!
@@janvanholten7592 I'm being serious. He would fail his emergency driving tests if he drove like that here.
@@joelwhitaker2274 Really? On what grounds? What exactly did he do wrong and what should he have done differently. From my Dutch point of view he drove by the book here, getting where he needed to be quickly and safe while also keeping the safely of others in mind.
@@RudyBleeker Carrying too much speed into the hazard, lack of forward observation and planning for the hazards encountered, one handed steering...all of those are fails here, and for good reason.
@@joelwhitaker2274 How manny traffic dead's do you have in your country? We have a 1000 a year on 18 milion people, 50% from that are cyclist. and in youre country?
