Hi Doc can you tell me please, send a website where the ambulance is shown.

Reagards Pit

[zaffdoc]

@Pitpointer >>>---> What do you mean?

[firebrigade101]

Referred as a "No Code" approach, depending on neighborhood, or patient /caller preference...awesome teaching video for unseasoned EMS!

[k0smon]

Is that a manual transmission on that bus?

[zaffdoc]

@k0smon No

[FirekidE62]

Thats about how fast we would be going around here........ actually FASTER!!!

[DanielsSFD]

I love that roar!

[MrCopepouches]

man he was bookin going down throught that residential area, they cut there sirens here alot haha!

[martintheman16]

what year is this international?

[Skankpronger]

what is he trying to do  get in an accident going to an accident? look how fast he was moveing on that side street, hes lucky he wasnt pulled over.

[jlringuette]

he was hauling



[videofire100]

wow



[sfdtruck52]

my city cuts it the sirens when its on side streets

[firepower782]

I like that idea if the traffic situation allows it. The siren & airhorn all the way up to the driveway really does nothing but stress most patients even more, especially the elderly. But can only do it when it's safe of course.

Goin a bit fast to be cutting sirens off in a residential area.. they're supposed to be used for a reason. Great video though! 

[EnjoyFirefighting]

@bullzisnipr3 we do that quite often when there's no or hardly traffic; we actually have to let the sirens on all the way to the scene, but the driver can swith the siren off on his own responsibility

[zaffdoc]

@bullzisnipr3 >>>---> Yeah, I guess to everyone except the patient laying in the middle of the street with his broken leg wrapped around the back of his neck.

[bullzisnipr3]

@zaffdoc Well that's certainly unfortunate, but a young child playing in his front yard not hearing a siren then getting ran over by an ambulance is something more unfortunate. Run sirens until you're on scene, especially in a residential area, to me it's just irresponsible to be driving that fast in a neighborhood with no sirens.

[911caddy]

@bullzisnipr3 . Agreed on all points!!

[Dalesr4ever]

cut their siren within a few blocks from the scene? My city cuts theirs half a block from the scene, if not at the scene. Wonder why Shreveport cuts their sirens early?

[zaffdoc]

@Dalesr4ever >>>---> I think it is really at the discretion of the driver.

[vcmovie1]

Beautiful images Doc, let them come.

I'm Curious about the next video.

[centexfirerescue]

Austin cut theirs usually when entering residential areas per traffic conditions.

[trainmasta227]

Sonme of the cops in my county do that

[theultimatesabresfan]

nice lookin rig!

[juniorskates99]

@theultimatesabresfan I second that. Probably could have slowed down a little though.

[MASTAFLY]

nice video doc boy that ambulance was haulin ass

[Badchoicesmade]

That is such an interesting habit, My town cuts the siren at scene. Why do you guys cut it so early?

[rangerfan143278]

good catch
