for everyone who doesn`t know it`s a standard procedere for us here at the FDNY to run out with lights every time and than turn them off if there`s no emergency. It`s allowed and every rig does it the same way. maby at other fire station in the US it`s not allowed, in NY it is. Greez Chris Ladder 4 Midtown House FDNY
IDK - in Ohio it's illegal to use the lights just to pull out of the station 'less it's a run. Also illegal for a police car, fire truck (or any emergency vehicle) to exceed the speed limit or violate a (moving) traffic rule without BOTH lights and sirens activated; AND they'd better have a run response or emergency to do it. They can, of course, activate just lights if they're doing a LEGAL traffic move for a safety reason, (ie, backing), but not just to get through an intersection or speed.

@lauinger It wasnt for "no reason whatsoever", it was for safety when pulling out of the firehouse in a crowded city when people tend to pay less attention than needed. They turned their lights off right after they started going down the road. I can imagine in Ohio you dont really need to worry about a dumbass on a cell hitting the rig as it exits the station.
@TheRedemption113 Then why doesn't EVERYbody have emergency lights to pull out onto the road. I'm betting it's as illegal there as it is here, and, yes, we have to worry about idiots with phones here too.
@swatllord we still have to gear up when we leave even to go shopping cause if we get a call while were out we cant run back to the firehouse to pick up our gear we have to be ready just in case
@ncvfccadet I would have to disagree there. It would be smarter to have one, maybe two, guys go out and run errands while the rest man the station. There are so many things that could happen. What if they cannot get out of the area they're going to due to traffic, tight roads, comm issues, etc. This is FDNY, it's not going to be a disaster if they're short 2 people and, chances are, they aren't the only unit responding anyway. There has to be more to this video than just "going out for food"
@swatllord well that may be true i dont know if that would be better or not im just giving you the info i know from my and my fathers department. although were not in fdny so there is a difference between a huge city and a small town.
hows bloody stupid to turn emergency lights on to go and get tucker , my brigade does it while we reverse into the station or where we will be taking up heaps of the road and may cause a blockage
yea this isnt a call there going out to get something to eat or to get stuff they need for the house they dress up in case there was a call so then when they hear it on there radio and they get in the truck and go
You're not really serious when you write "sluggishly responds to a call of chow and food shopping" are you? Did you really think they were getting an actual run?
I was being completely serious when I wrote that. They were literally going out of quarters to get food for chow. I know that for a fact. Stop being stupid and thinking otherwise. That goes for every other jackass that's been saying stuff like that.
It doesn't look like they have a call. I didn't see them hit their siren as they left. Did you ever think they might have left the station to run an errand or something? The lights were on just to warn traffic as they pulled out but they were turned off as he made the turn onto the street.
I just don't get the FDNY at times (and before you all start i'm not having a go!), but your lights are there for emergency calls only, if your conning the public by using them to just push your way into the traffic que, because your chinese dinner can't wait then i think thats a bit selfish!! Don't you???
(And i am a firefighter before someone strats lecturing me, telling me i haven't got a clue!!)
I totally 100% Agree with you P999FFB!!! This is disgusting off the FDNY!! If you done this in the UK you'd get a kicking up the backside and a right telling off!...
I agree however they just turned the lights on to get out on the street. At my station we have to block the entire street to back the trucks back into the station and we will let whatever traffic is behind us go past and then we turn on the lights just in case as a safety concern. No pun intended. Great looking station they have.
To help those who can't work out what cr5ew saying. Enjoy!!!

You people are a bunch of wankers, and to think that you've got a call to something that is probably bullshit. Fuck, I'd take my fucking good old time too and who cares what the call is. It isn't going no where.
Now translated into Twat: I, cr5ew, am hereby declaring that I am a complete fucking idiot who can't respect any fellow human being. I'm 14 and am trying to be cool.
I would imagine they were placed on standby t cover another house. They fired up and got ready and started to move when they were called in. This doesnt appear to be a slow response, but i do have to say to the camera man, I would recommed you dont walk back and forth in front of a running engine, you are likely to get your ass run over!
I think they notify the dispatcher that they are leaving quarters for food, and if a call does come in they respond from where ever they are to the call. Thats the popular practice around where i am.
That's right, the lights were just to alertthe nearby traffic they were coming out, then they turned off the lights, as they were no longer needed for safety
u people that r a bounch of wacker and think u got to run for something thats prob bs fuck that i d take my fucken goo old time too and who care wut the call is. it isnt going no were.

They didn't have a call, they were going to lunch or dinner, in either way they were going ot eat, the only reason they turn on the Emergency lights is because they block the whole road when they pull the Engine out of the bay so they need to use them for safety reasons, if it was an emergency call they would've kept them on, and used sirens after they have pulled out. they are samrt men, they know what they are doing.
the engine wasnt at the house at that time. if it were a call the engine would have gone first and we wouldnt have watched a 5 min video of them gettin ready to go shopping or smthin.
I'm guessing you have no experience in the fire service. A ladder (or truck, whichever you perfer) never goes out before an engine. Also, you would have heard radio chater. And last, they would have had the sirens running
HAHA it usually takes them 2 minutes to get to the call and would take tham a total of 5 mintues to get to the incident and be in the middle of operations
Visibility purposes. Even in the daylight having your headlights on makes you more visible to other drivers.
On most fire trucks I believe they are hard wired to come on when the battery is activated because when the battery is on you're either doing work or going somewhere. And both of those require your ability to see and be scene.
