Chicago Fire Department- Responding Pretty Fast

[ChicagoFD1996]

Nice Catch!

I heard that they're getting a new Crimson Ladder, which is weird.

30 mph and a complete stop. That's good, safe, professional response driving.

In Ireland The fire truck i drive goes 92mph.....

[resqjason2]

@traineespark maybe kilometers per hour

@brendan129 lol they make sure they put it out too

[brendan129]

Responding to a call is what they do best? Shit, I hope my house doesn't catch fire then.

If that's 90 MPH, then my Grand Caravan goes about 300 MPH judging from the relative speed.

[resqjason2]

it is impossible for a fire engine to go 90 MPH and that was nowhere near top speed

[Jabbajawz4life]

@resqjason2 okay once again for the peeps like yourself that want to get technical here we go..They can top 80MPH...wow 10mph difference. And it was a figure of speech for saying they were going fast!

[resqjason2]

@Jabbajawz4life almost all modern fire engines / trucks are governed to about 60-65 mph. the tire manufacturers also state the tires are restricted to less than 60mph which is why the vehicle builder puts a governor on the vehicle. plus WHY WOULD YOU DRIVE A VEHICLE THATS ANYWHERE FROM 40,000 TO 80,000LBS AT 80MPH? thats how guys get killed on the job. there is no reason whatsoever to justify driving a fire truck over 60mph!!!

Awesome with sirens blaring and flashing lights !

[Jabbajawz4life]

@Tcostello105 Thanks...I'm glad I finally caught one where the captian was mildly heavy on the horn!

[Jabbajawz4life]

@badge764 haha

[spazman13579]

wtf.. thats not 90mph

[Jabbajawz4life]

@spazman13579 naw...its 6MPH....Do you really want me to stoop to your level and make your youtube experience a living nightmare?

[spazman13579]

@Jabbajawz4life i have no idea what your talking about, and its not going 6, more like 40mph

[Jabbajawz4life]

@spazman13579 lol its called exaggeration but he was flying further back before I started recording. We just pulled over because he was behind us and was gaining like a rocket!!
