american rescue sucks... i mean why the fuck are they driving so fucking slow? and the civilians isnt moving either... god damn idiots. learn from the best// SWEDEN :)
@Baddanx lol u pussy ass bitch. come and try driving in nyc. fuck swedish people. only reason why ppl even know the named swedish is because of the candied fish. you little bitch.
@crytoyourmom i dont even know what the fuck a candied fish is u ignorant stupid american inbreed fuck. ur vehicles sucks, ur rescue drivers think they are fucking heroes with flags and shit on their vehicles. fucking joke, buy european cars! learn to drive and save some lifes u fat fucks. and btw ive been to NYC and i actually rented a car and drove around... so go fuck urself
@Baddanx Our drivers put flags on their cars because they're patriotic, not because they think they're heros you stupid Swedish fuck, and it's also called patriotic by our emergency services using American made vehicles instead of stupid European ones.
Also, the other guy is talking about Swedish Fish, the candy, if you've never heard of it you're even dumber than you sound.
@Baddanx Haha, I agree... mostly... Sweden should be proud of Volvo and Scania.. and maybe Saab. European vans, cars and trucks are better than their North American counterparts...
@04smallmj Well not exactly better. Some European cars are jokes! I've spent time in Europe and the only decent cars I've seen are German ones: Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen etc. I mean you're from the UK right? So you only get the lower end of the US car market: Dodge Caliber, Nitro and maybe some Korean Chevrolets. If you were to drive a nice Cadillac or Lincoln - then you'd know what an American car is like: Luxurious and Powerful..
@Baddanx Haha, you're so funny. I mean your country has what: 10 million people? So the population of your country, is the same as the Chicago metro area! Our cities are much more crowded than yours! You can't really compare the two countries - they're completely in a different realm to each other.
I hate how slow the ambulances in US are. Come on in europe (i`m in romania) an accident happened and in 2 minutes the police and ambulance arrived. Here Ambulances overtake over double lines sometimes even in blind corners.. here in europe if a ambulance is in back of as we can cross a red light too let him go.If YOU WANNA SEE A REAL AMBULANCE RUN WRITE EMERGENCY RUN PORTUGAL
@renaultandme Just to let you know you may be fast but the FDNY has been tested and it is the fact the FDNY is most highly trained, expert fire department in the world.
@renaultandme Anyone who drives the middle of the road on a double yellow around a blind curve is a dumbass and deserves to have their license torn up. We are slow because we are cautious. It is your emergency, not ours. There is no point in us speeding like hell to get to you if we get in an accident halfway there because we couldnt slow down for traffic or an intersection. European driving is nothing to boast about or be proud of by any means. There are reasons I dont travel to your country
@renaultandme Notice how he is walking to his vehicle and not running? We are taught to be professional, keep composure, and always be aware of the safety of those around us. What good are you going to do by running around like a maniac and speeding down the road as if the world were ending? You only create more panic and put more lives at risk. I would come to your country and teach your ambulance services that, but i'm afraid i'd be run over and killed before I had the chance.
im glad i run with a dept in a small town cause i would be half tempted to push some of these retarded ass drivers outta the ways! MOVE OVER FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@garlic287 Excuse me.... But I happen to be a NY-er and, have you EVER, EVER tried to find an open spot through traffic. No, we are not dumb, we just cant move thru the traffic due to the density!
At 9:29, that stupid ass school bus driver. New Yorkers are about the dumbest people in the country when it comes to moving for emergency vehicles. Like if u agree.
@garlic287 diagree. i left on a call this afternoon in my brush truck. drove out of the station lights and siren and sat at the driveway waiting to merge onto the main road FOR FOURTY-FIVE SECONDS waiting for traffic!
@Raptor05121 lol that's why our station has it's own traffic lights which they can switch red when they leave the station. And by the time we can get through the whole city and turn on the siren just for a few moments, if we have to switch them on at all
@garlic287 well it aint much better i Denmark, but the good part is that when THEY need rescue they are all complaints about rescue taking to damn long....
Getting out of the way isn't just NY's problem. It's a jersey thing. It's not just emergency vehicles, it's any driver. "Why would I let this guy in front of me? *speeds up* I wanna get to where I'm going FASTER!" or my favorite, "If I pull over for that fire truck, the guy behind me is going to speed up and pass me. So I'm not going to pull over for the truck until he does.
@BartmanMC I don't understand ford and their emergency vehicle sales man. FDNY rocked the excursion, and the crown vic was THE police car for...just about every agency in the US....then ford stops making both of them...wtf?
@LtColWarren...Each state has different laws governing emergency vehicles. In Indiana an emergency vehicle DOES HAVE the right of way and may proceed thru red lights if done safely and with due regard.
These guys are not properly going through red lights from what I can tell. Not sure of the SOP for emergency vehicles in NY, but I know that down here in FL, all emergency vehicles MUST come to a complete stop whenever they have the red and then slowly proceed throguh the intersection to avoid an accident because despite going Code 3 (Lights and siren) the emergency vehicle does NOT have the right of way, they are just requesting it from the other drivers.
@LtColWarren Here in NJ and in NY it is madatory that vehicles yield the right of way no matter the circumstance. You hear the siren you move. Now even with that said you are supposed to come to a complete stop, but by even doing that you can't stop all accidents. The better thing is to use your brain and make sure the intersection is clear and there is nowhere that you could get in a bind i.e. large vehicles blocking your view on a multi lane road. Also in the city speeds are at a minimum.
@BlazingPuppies What is he going to do, drive out into an intersection while he doesn't have the right of way and the siren behind him is blocked by his large vehicle and he has no emergency lights nor the power/training to break certain traffic codes in pursuit of an emergency? there's idiots who don't pull over/stop while moving that deserve tickets, but people who are at a light cannot be expected to enter the intersection without a green light, even with an emergency vehicle coming behind.
@DKruse88 Actually, you are permitted to enter the intersection, however you may not go through the intersection. Basically, you drive slightly forward and turn to make a clearing. And since the flashing headlight and right strobe would have been visible as they were in the line of sight for the white car, and the driver would have to be a complete idiot to not get the hint from a horn blasting at him from the truck who began inching forward (It's illegal in NYC to use your horn otherwise).
@InuKun2008 Well I guess that's where our states differ, which I forgot to think about when commenting In my state under no circumstances are you allowed to enter the intersection (cross the stop line and/or cross walk), you will receive a traffic citation for running a light. Granted in an emergency no cop would write it... but IF that car got hit/struck another vehicle both the emergency vehicle and that operator would be in trouble (and the emergency veh. would have double trouble w/ civil)
@DKruse88 (Continuation) The pedestrian admittedly didn't help matters by not knocking on the window to tell the driver to move when he had the chance. But legally in all 50 states, the driver would be held liable for impeding an emergency vehicle in that situation, as it is your responsibility when you hear a siren, to check all around the vehicle. Most people tend to only check at best their rear view mirror, not the side view mirrors as well. Shoulder checks are unheard of with most drivers.
@InuKun2008 I'm not sure if I would even knock on the window if I were the pedestrian. And in my state (as previously stated) generally entering intersections is a no-no regardless of circumstances (our law is simply "move over and slow/stop.") So a person wouldn't be protected to begin moving, enter an intersection illegally, THEN move over.
But if it's safe to enter and the emergency vehicle is stuck behind you, I don't know a cop who would write the guy a ticket. It's a slippery slope.
Why are some of the comments complaints about civilians or drivers not moving out of the way? Hello, McFly...it's NYC! After thoroughly watching this video, at least everyone proceeded orderly and not all erratically causing confusion. Urban areas such as this, drivers have to stay calm and just let the emergency vehicles work there way through traffic when it's heavy like this if they aren't able to pull over right away. Mostly, I saw everyone pull over even the oncoming traffic switched lanes.
God fucking damn...All these dubmasses that don't even bothering pulling over and stopping when they can! I also hate people using the crosswalk that just continue walking slowly when there's an emergency vehicle right on their ass... It amazes me how careless people can be in nyc...
@sharkey500 A battalion chief oversees a certain area of the city, 55 in total including rescue battalion. Each battalion has trucks, engine, and maybe a squad within their area. Rescues have their own battalion chief shown above, who by the way is an amazing driver! FDNY is broken down from the city, to divisions, to battalions, and finally individual apparatus. Hope this helps. Godspeed.
I notice that most people switch over to a different lane but continue to roll along in that lane. Here in LA, most people pull over and come to a complete stop. Maybe because the streets are a little less crowded here.
@johnanglopez Well a school bus transports kids back and forth from school to their house or a bus stop. So you can only assume it is doing what all school buses do. I hope i answered your question to the best of my abilities. .
Okay, I have been a bit nerdy, I have made the exact route they drove in Google maps. Here is the link, but since I cant post any links in the comments, I have made it in code.I think you all can decipher it :) bit(dot)ly(forward slash)coDtT9
what does special operation mean i never heard of it before like i didnt even know what it meant , was it housefire, motor veciale accident, industral fire etc?? can anyone help me with this question,
God Bless the FDNY! On this day, Saturday September 11, 2010, we remember the 343 brave firefighters who gave it all so others may live 9 years ago. Heroes live forever! NEVER FORGET!
@Bomann502. Note the "9 years ago" part. Anyways, thank God for the US Navy Seals and all those who serve in the US Military. Osama Bin Laden is finally dead and brought to justice. And of course God Bless the FDNY, NYPD, PAPD and all first responders.
wow, I could never even think about riding calls in that kind of traffic. We get mad when we find a car infront of us whos doing 10 over speed limit out here! lol Good driving!
They should write down all license plates of people not moving for emergency vehicles like some in this do and send them all a ticket of 250 dollar each time they don't move. I bet next time they see a emergency vehicle they will fly aside.
@Wesleytjuh1234 thats not bad too much to think a bout tho but that would make the city alot of money expsely taxis who use the engine behind them as an excuse to run a red light
@Wesleytjuh1234 excellent concept but instead of writing down the numbers which would be impossible just get high def dash cams that could read plates and thay'll thank themselves in the long run.
@TREYBELL Nope. It was a Male that feel from a something. E84 L34 R3 SQD41 R3 BC16 and Rescue Battalion are on this. Some EMS units, and probably even more FDNY units.
Very cool, feels like you're right with them on a ride along. The truck drivers (well, most of them) deserve some kudos from their professional driving given their tight situation. Sometimes I get the feeling the New Yorkers just don't care about their fellow citizens. Perhaps I am wrong, but from what I see there is a rather callous attitude to emergency vehicles.
@frontline88888888 They started at "The Rock". It's the FDNY's training facility and Fire Academy. Some of those apparatus belonged to Training. Some could have been companies on the island to train. Special Operations Command "SOC", is located on this island.

God fucking damn...All these dubmasses that don't even bothering pulling over and stopping when they can! I also hate people using the crosswalk that just continue walking slowly when there's an emergency vehicle right on their ass... It amazes me how careless people can be in nyc...

@sharkey500 A battalion chief oversees a certain area of the city, 55 in total including rescue battalion. Each battalion has trucks, engine, and maybe a squad within their area. Rescues have their own battalion chief shown above, who by the way is an amazing driver! FDNY is broken down from the city, to divisions, to battalions, and finally individual apparatus. Hope this helps. Godspeed.

Can I get some information about these monitors they have in the cabine?

I notice that most people switch over to a different lane but continue to roll along in that lane. Here in LA, most people pull over and come to a complete stop. Maybe because the streets are a little less crowded here.

@johnanglopez Well a school bus transports kids back and forth from school to their house or a bus stop. So you can only assume it is doing what all school buses do. I hope i answered your question to the best of my abilities. .

That phone ringing is when they have an update on their MDT's alerting the crew that there is more information available.

They should write down all license plates of people not moving for emergency vehicles like some in this do and send them all a ticket of 250 dollar each time they don't move. I bet next time they see a emergency vehicle they will fly aside.

@Wesleytjuh1234 excellent concept but instead of writing down the numbers which would be impossible just get high def dash cams that could read plates and thay'll thank themselves in the long run.

ahund12345 1 year ago
Very cool, feels like you're right with them on a ride along. The truck drivers (well, most of them) deserve some kudos from their professional driving given their tight situation. Sometimes I get the feeling the New Yorkers just don't care about their fellow citizens. Perhaps I am wrong, but from what I see there is a rather callous attitude to emergency vehicles.

@frontline88888888 They started at "The Rock". It's the FDNY's training facility and Fire Academy. Some of those apparatus belonged to Training. Some could have been companies on the island to train. Special Operations Command "SOC", is located on this island.
