Here in Guatemala, the volunteer have red trucks, and the municipal fire dep has the green-yellow trucks. I also like red, but that is just my preference, the yellowish makes me feel like an airport truck.
Just a thought. There's no way to know, but one reason the engine could be so slow is water in the fuel. we just got a truck fixed that had water in the fuel....we couldn't get it over 47 MPH on a straight, flat road...not to mention uphill of any degree was an average of 15 MPH. Also, It'd take all day to accelerate to whatever speed the engine could muster.
The "Lighted Propeller" on the front is a Roto-Ray light, 3 lamps on a spinner device. It is quite the attention grabber, as I saw that in that video right away. Apparently Roro- Rays have been around in the fire service for 50+ years, so its older technology coming back.. Guess the stuff that worked before never truly fades away.
The whole POINT behind "fire engine red" was notice ability. The same reason they painted school buses yellow, so they would stand out.
Obviously, red, yellow, and green stand out more then white, black, and blue, but each department does what is appropriate for their region.
The only thing that gets me is why that medic has a rot ray, the Q is fine. 9/10 times people won't move for a medic because they can't hear them, that Q will help.
@theatomicfart1001 because ppl dont move for rescue anymore so they decided to put a q there and it sounds great and moves traffic like no other so can u blame them?
i drove a green truck for 3 years and couldnt stand it... i was so happy when they finally transferred me to a red truck with a black top... its just a personal preference.... no insult intended
Actually, I believe the NTSB did tests to see what the most effective color of apparatus was. They determined lime green was, it just never really caught on because red was so traditionally embedded in the fire service.
@hlandscaping17 Are you for real? firefighters dont care about EMS? Ems is about 80% of call volume. You better rethink what you say and it would not hurt for you to learn how to spell either.
@hlandscaping17 its funny you say that because Firemen are first responders and just about all of them have EMS training, which in your terms would be like a nurse, they stabilize them and get everything set for when the "amberlamps" come, know before you open your mouth lol
lol sounds like water in the backround once the second truck comes down the road..... and nice sirens lol sounds like ww2 all over again :P (world war 2)
The water like background sound seems to be noise saturation of the camera. These trucks definitely make a loud pitch and the camera isn't that good...
the rotor ray is a light that you put in front of the grill on the outside though and its really just 3 strobes that spin. they spin or they dont spin.
it sounds like there is water running in the background it must be me i am going mad I'm hearing things :P
and can someone tell me what the rotor ray i think that's right what are they a light that flashes and spins I'm guessing I'm Aussie so we don't have all that kind of fancy stuff on our fire trucks.... but i do love the siren 5*s from me :)
It has three lights with one of three colors on each and they spin really fast so it looks like there flashing, I might be wrong but I think thats it, one of the Fire Depts have one on there rescue.

Q-siren and Roto-ray? Double the waste of money on equipment that shouldn't be there. It serves no practical purpose but to over inflate your Yankee egos and 'look cool'.
And you're some sort of professional or are you just another stupid childish european who hops on the 'Hate everyone who isn't Euro' bandwagon? That's what I thought. Don't even try and speak about stuff you obviously have no knowledge of.
The Q siren is the best, and oldest fire engine siren there is. And how does having a light setup and siren cause them to have big egos?
You need to get off your fat ass, get a job and do something practical for society for a change.
yea same here. firetrucks have to be red with either white or black on the cab and goldleafing and diamond plate. and firefighters must wear the traditional style leather helmets. fuck the gay plastic shit. and black turn-out gear (tan is ok) but no fucking gay LA yellow bullshit.
You obviously have no idea of materials science whatsoever. You're as good as saying if somewhere where to shoot me, I'd rather wear a leather jacket than a kevlar vest. What a fucking noob, I feel sorry for your inane stupidity mate.
If you were a firefighter or EMT you would understand the need for the sirens and air horns. They are not on the truck for looks, they are there for a reason. As an officer for the company I serve under, if the warning lights are on, the sirens better be to.People complain about the noise day in and day out, but if an emergency vehicle is involved in an accident the first things they look at is the speed of the vehicle and was it using the warning lights and sirens properly.
def. agree with hellfighter. when driving code 3 to a call i always encounter dumb people that pop out of nowhere. the sirens are not there to piss people off with noise; theyre there to protect us as we're driving to an ems call or fire, and if something were to happen, one of the 1st questions is always if we had our lights and an audible warning device (aka siren) in use at the time.
i agree with lfdf106, cmarlow 480 is a dumbass for thinking its funny the truck came to a stop, all trucks have to stop at red lights to avoid an accident no matter if their siren and lights are on or not, anybody not stopiing is basically asking for an accident.
hey cmarlow480, your so called firefighter friend is an idot! you have to follow the rules of the road, even if you are driving a fire engine! Tell your friend to get a clue.
yeah my firefighter friend in MS was like watch this and tell me whats wrong... at first I thought nothing.. LOL then I saw the truck come to a complete stop and put its turnsignal on I was like wtf you dont have to stop LOL..... They have right of way my firefighter friend was like yep...... we still have to use turn signals but we dont have to stop. lol....
Even if you have an Opticom it's always good to stop, even for a split-second to make sure there are no other emergency vehicles approaching. Granted you do have to rush to an emergency but you also have to be safe so you can get there to begin with.
LOOK at the fron of the firetruck it has a cool spinny thing on the front. AND WHA THE FUCK IS THE WATER SOUND THAT TURNS ON WHEN THE SIRENS TURN ON?!
Here in the UK fire trucks used to use 2-tone air sirens like they do and still use in continental europe.

But alot of Europe is going in favour of the US siren consoles (again not 100% sure on that)
