Watching this vido brings back fond memories for me. I used to be a member of the EMS divsion from 85-95 before moving to NC. But my Heart is still with the men and women of the DCFD.
i like dcfd for these reasons one they have nice trucks two they have a lot of TDA'S three they have q's and powercalls and four most of there trucks are seagraves
Very nice video! i love the american trucks and there sirens!!:P
shame on americans though, they should have to pull over for emergency services like in canada! why should they help americans when the public is not letting them.
I really hope that the "Q" doesn't go the way of the 'house siren. It's not a fire truck without a good "Q". Also the new LED lights aren't a big hit with me. Sure, no more electrical problems with the old lights, but they're just too mechanical.
The Siren is a Federal Signal Q2B and is electro-mechanical which draws about 100 amps and is rated to 120db @ 10 feet and costs about $1,400. It's well worth it considering you can hear it coming from a mile away, and it has a nickname "GROWLER".There is an electronic version called the e-Q2B and it only draws about 30amps, claims to have an output of 122db @ 10 feet and cost about $990. I hope this clarifies some of your questions
You know what, your right. His terminalogy was correct. Sr. firemen called it a growler around me, so i just started calling it that. thats y i said what i said, and strikethebox great vid
for the longest time ive called it a growler, im gonna continue to call it a growler, and not everyone in the fucking world calls it a Q because i dont. so get the fuck off my back about it. So Leck mich am arsch Du fauler Sack. Ich gebe nicht einen Scheiß! and Setz deinen Arsch in Bewegung! Hau Ab!
Actually the music is not that bad...It's just that it was covering or distorting the music of the sirens...Man the engine at the very last of the video when it comes out of the firehouse...WOW!
my favorite one was engine 1 and ambulance 1 going up the highway

Doesn't mean everyone does. Everyone around me calls it a Q, therefore making his terminology correct.

Nothing like the sound of a Q siren, too bad our trucks in australia don't have any or decent air horns.
