  • OH MY GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!! So many things wrong here. The driver should do one thing and thats drive. No touching the radio, siren, or airhorn. Thats what the officers seat is for. But my god that pinged Q is horrible. You know the different pitches of sirens are proven to be more effective at grabbing attention and giving drivers an idea of where the siren is coming from.

  • i hate left lane cruisers

  • On the subject of the seatbelts ; here in Canada, it is NOT mandatory for emergency personnel (Police, Fire, EMS) to wear their seatbelts, as when they arrive on scene they want people out as fast as they can. Awesome video, I love that Federal Q.

  • the driver can use the siren at is discretion, but, when is too much, you need someone to give you a stop....you are like a kid with a big toys, some day, you will to busy to flip your siren switch an hogn the air horn you are going to hit some body ....

  • That's impressive NO SEAT BELT!

  • @MuddParts Even more impressive is that you can't read.The description says no seat belts! So maybe you're impressing yourself.

  • if you are dying do you think seat belts are the least of their worries ass hole

  • you dbags do not know how to operate sirens, you all sound like a bunch of FNG squirrels. remember going code 3 saves on national average 30 seconds of response time

  • @TheStrictlyNuggets Yo,who the fuk you talking to? You mother is a douchebag,bitch! I don't care who you are,or what you do,where you live,or how long been on this earth,so don't come on my clip talking that ying yang to me.Watch the video and move the fuk on! Please respond back, I want you to

  • What the hell? LOL POOR SIREN!

  • i feel sorry for that "Q"

  • If you were in my State a following Squad would have wrote down the tags of all vehicles who did not give you right of way,,,,,, ticket in the mail!

  • Why didn't you just ask him to lay off?

  • Dam it man!! that is the most bad ass driving ive seen nice job!!

  • No one should drive a engine like this complete douchebagery hear!

  • @bassthumper1964 great,thanks!

  • @bassthumper1964 and nobody should be talking shit like you. especially to a fire fighter!

  • What does P.H.P mean?

  • Wow. How did his Fed not burn out? O.o?

  • @Nate43Redmond Amazingly,it's still going strong since 1999

  • I love it - best use of the good ol' federal Q I've seen in a long time.,..!!!

  • @JeepGuy80 I'm going to be sending you a PM.

  • Very unprofessionell in my oppinion! We use this as a example what NOT to do when responding to a call!

  • @bassthumper1964 Great,thanks!

  • @bassthumper1964

    Radio Announcment:

    ,, Houston,Houston,we got a severe Problem!

    The Synagoge of Mr. Meir Henoch Wallach-Finkelsteijn is burning!

    I have severe Diarrea,please do me a Favor,will you?

  • I've always said that you can never have too much Q but I'm starting to rethink that!

  • my favorite part of being a firefighter would be playing with the sirens :P these guys make it look so fun

  • man, your american siren is hardcore ;) our german sirens are not so good

  • He loves his Q lmao great video! @fmartinjr

  • @SaucySoviet I love the love the Federal "Q" - but this guy up front here lovessss his federal "Q"!

  • hey frank great video!i had a few questions,what does p.h.p stand for (sorry for asking if youve already said it in other comments) and do you think youll be able to get a video up of the new 23?thanks!

  • @EngulfedSix Pleasant Hills Posse

    no more videos,sorry.Orders from Hitlers

  • @fmartinjr okay,thanks!

  • is the Q operated by like a large button on the drivers side. in all the engines at my dept the horn and Q are operated by a large black button close to the door on the drivers side

  • Well too bad you missed the turn...

  • @winnipegfiredep Who missed what turn?

  • Sounds like a vaccum cleaner...

  • wow just like a vollie.. glad im not in that truck id be kickin some volie ass when i get out.. no seat belts, childish use of horns and sirens, reskless driving, speeding, id hate to see how they act when they get a working fire.

  • remind me to stay away from this district. No seat belt for the driver just from the way he's sitting. running red lights without even slowing down and just because you can drive like a bat out of hell doesn't mean you should without due regard to the public. Arrive alive and do no harm

  • @fmartinjr Great Video!

  • This video is the shit i show all of your videos to my fire in in Pocomoke City,Md keep making videos Dude, and great response!

  • hmm, how come you idiots find the Q annoying, and yet fail to hear it? Pay attention maggots, or don't complain when your god damn house burns down because de FD wasn't able to get there fast enough, because of a stupid driver!

  • I was blastin on the.horn for about a min and I belive it needed to.refill, it got real quit

  • The Q is by far my favorite siren, but it gets annoying when he keeps laying on it like that. Approaching an intersection I would expect that but this is overkill.

  • I would be scrambling looking for some hearing protection if i was riding on that rig!!!....LOL.....

  • @MrProfire Hell! I would've frogged 'em in the back of the neck, dragged him to the back, and "Q'ed" myself. That's fucking rediculous. Can't even work the Q correctly, i'd hate to see how they work a 5 alarm. Too much force eh? haha!

  • @Latvonia You'd hate to see how we work at a 5 alarm? I'd hate to see how you look!

    Don't start no shit man,please don't.And you wouldn't have frogged or dragged no one.Just watch the video and move on.

  • @fmartinjr Your right, I probably wouldn't. And How I look? I believe i'm mighty fine pretty. You guys look alright man, just maybe the addition of an "Old School" captain might clean up some loose ends.

  • This video would make a good alarm clock..Lets see anyone sleep through this! haha

  • When you (peak) a Federal q it doesnt do much its gets attention when you give it a brake and then go up

  • Hell Yeah that was friggin awsome way to work the Q!!!

  • I don't see anything wrong with the operator and his driving.. Whom ever was riding the seat, that's a great way to burn up a Q.. If I was the Operator, I would have been yelling at the person riding the seat to quit keeping the Q pinned.. There is nothing wrong with winding the Q out, but to keep on it for minutes on end is going to burn it up..

  • jeez need a lesson on when to use the air horn and Q lol, i hate it when people "lean" on the horn couple of blasts does the trick .lmao stay safe guys!

  • what kinda call do they got?....

  • @NsTrainMan07 A multi-car wreck on the Interstate.

  • @fmartinjr both of our trucks have the q and rotorays

  • what kinda call do they got??

  • WOW

  • WOW HE GOT THAT BITCH HOWLIN'!

  • Damn! A Simple Hi-lo with a few toots of the horn here and there would have done the trick but dam got to keep laying on the Q like its your dam lifesaver!

  • that was awesome. only thing wrong about this video was the over use of the Q. other than that, i didnt see a problem with anything

  • this should be titled "How not to drive a Fire Truck"

  • @snowmanvom1 Nah,the title should be what I have it as.

  • @fmartinjr hey dude bad ass video i agree way to much "Q"

  • your officer should get his leg chopped off. lol

  • @sigair Yeah,I got on him for this,and he improved since this, from over 3 years ago

  • @fmartinjr I laugh cause a customer came in one day with a stuck pedal. Imagine that!

  • @sigair A customer came in with a stuck foot switch pedal or brake/accelerator pedal?

  • @fmartinjr wit a stuck foot switch on the Q

  • u guys r rockin that q sweet nice driving keep up the good work love it be safe out there

  • Frank, man, you needa get up in that seat and show this brother how it's done!

  • @301whitehall Oh I did. Because he must of been thinking of hamburgers and fries on this call.

  • I'm not gonna comment about the driving cuz it doesn't bother me. I can drive fast as hell and be safe about it. But the q was horrible. I have a guy on my company that does that I can't stand itt. Gotta mix it up

  • @MMFFcoverSTANG Thank you another fair comment.

  • They're supposed to shut down on the freeway and allow the Q to rise and fall during street response. He just created a panic. It was funny tho

  • I really don't like saying this but the captain doesn't know what he's doing

  • @cosfire2 Your comment is fair and right.

  • ok wow way to make your dept look like total crap i know if i saw this i and i lived in yalls city i would move and give my tax dollars to a city that needed it and as stated above its guaranteed the driver will be in an accident within 5 years and the q will need to be replaced in about 2

  • @mdslinger Ok ,wow way to make yourself sound retarded and stupid.Sit your dumb-ass down and calm down.I don't give a fuk what you would do if you lived here,no one asked!!So the fuk what! And the only thing that looks like total crap is the image you see when you look in the mirror.The driver has been driving rigs for over 10 years and the "Q" is original from 1999,both are still in service.So bend over and sit on your comment.Thanks for stopping by.

  • This guy's gettin the job done right, nothin to complain about lol, the idea is to get to the scene fast and safe and if it means wailing on the Q-Siren till the driver in front of the truck gets a headache and finally decides "i'm gonna stop being stupid now and move" then so be it!!!! lol It got people out of the way and got the job done.

  • Comment removed

  • I wish people would quit bitching about the q lol it got the job done and I'm assuming ya'll made it to the scene on time.. that's all that matters

  • hey If you got the toys make the noise...ijs

  • idk what the fuck everyones bitching about, if my house was on fucking fire i want this man on the way to my house and i want to be able to hear him from 7 miles away LOL

  • ...About siren and (too much) Q and (too much) horn...This is a response or a Fire engine parade video?

  • @camilonevar It's explained in the description, that explains what it is ,thank you.A parade video...? Are you being retarded? Don't ask me something stupid,it will get you cussed out.

  • Who cares, let him make all the noise he wants, hes saving YOUR life

  • @nuclearthreat545 Until he has a major collision at an intersection where he rolled through at that speed, and t-bones your family. If I was his Chief, he would be off the road, Taking his eyes off the road to play on the camera? No way. This is NOT the way to get to a call. With the Q2B going like that, he can hear NOTHING. This all looks hot until he kills someone. Then people wake up.

  • @devildoc225 Ease up on that homie.Anyone with eyes can see whats wrong here.Don't need you to try and be a driver's ed instructor.You could of wrote that to him on his channel or in a PM,but you wrote on here?The title doesn't say"Proper driving and siren activation".

  • Holy shit. Y'all make so much noise. The town must hate having a fire with you guys around XD.

  • He loves his sirens and horns lol.

  • The people who makes these comments about being anti seat belt obviously are a whacker and have no rank. I do care. It's my job to care, and make sure my engine company returns to their families. You think it's never going to happen to you? I'm sure everyone who has ever been in a crash thought the same thing. Don't worry, we all eventually grow up.

  • @DanAugust32

    The only people I don't see wear them are the whackers who get over excited and drive like ass holes get to call and who think "it will never happen to me." you ever been to a vehicle crash whacker? Ever seen one where people haven't been wearing seat belts whacker? How about responded to an apparatus crash where 6 guys weren't wearing seat belts? 6 guys down on you dept for 2 weeks while they recover because someone didn't yield the right of way to. The people who makes these comm

  • @OperationOverlord644 ......?? Corny.

  • Fair enough. Guess it would have helped if I had looked at description. Glad to see it's being worked on. Again, good video

  • @DurhamLt who cares if you wear a seat belt or not? The only people i've ever seen bitch about seat belts are the people/ companies who see no fire and got nothing else to worry about.

  • Little too much Q but overall not bad. Though, where are everyones seat belts? Other than that, good clip!

  • @DurhamLt It's explained in the description. Thanks for your comment.

  • Great video i live in Stockton Cal i here the FD go out C-3 all the time and the cap verry raelly blowes the Q or stay on the Q in the truck or engians i wish they wood get on the Q like u did i really dont care if u cuse or not sometimes it breaks the stress o f going C-3 u dont no what u r going 2 find going 987 FDs all around the EC,WC exspress there selfs differently going C-3 if u whant 2 talk,cuse, or help pull the horn chain its ok all of u r great u save LIVES ,HOUSES god be with u all.

  • @michael70224 Thank you for your comment,much appreciated.

  • Not "too much." Improperly used.

  • oh ya NICE DRIVIN too!

  • Sounds great to me boys! keep it up!

  • fmartinjr what kind of pierce engine

  • @bed792 1999 Dash

  • um yea...way too much Q

  • never thought i would say it but get off the dam Q!

  • Drivin' rigs like a boss! Much respect guys :D

  • Bet your chief is proud that you don't know simple siren operations like don't wind it out it will break o and the guy in the back you shouldn't be touching the air horn sit your ass down and enjoy the ride. Also watch your language you give the rest of the fire service a crappy name thanks. o and for the two who are wearing the helmets have fun when your family doesn't get a dime if you die in an accident hope that goes well for you

  • @justin32192 Look kid,there's all kinds of things wrong in this clip.But your little smart-ass way of trying to address it will get you cussed out.And yes,that is me pulling the air horn lanyard from the jumpseat,so what!Wheather I did something wrong or dangerous is not your business to discuss with me.Bioah I'm old enough to be your daddy.And don't tell to watch my mouth,I'll cuss if I want to.And that's stupid..."my language gives the rest of fire service a bad name"??You got to be stupid to-

  • @fmartinjr - not only say, but to think that.Like firemen don't cuss!? Come on kid. This ain't no PSA.This is what mafukers were doing going to a call in 2008.Now you and all these fake-ass,made for T.V. bullshitters pointing out everything thats wrong need to move on.There's no Brownie Points hoss.Thanks for stopping by.

  • So the chief saw this and shit himself right?

  • @ChillinWithMyiPad Don't ask me a question like that

  • disreguard him...he's probaly some whacker...WE know what were doin

  • @kameronbc21 I just hate that almost everyone on here just has to be the voice of reason. When it's like,"jerk off,everyone with eyes can see what's wrong and right.But I do love cussing out these cocksuckers!

  • wow. I like the sirens but way too much overexcitement, and in this county we use 2 hands on the steering wheel of any engine and the frront passenger handles everything else

  • Guaranteed this driver will be involved in an accident within 5 years.

  • @DC08SI Guaranteed..???? How can you guarantee that from this one video?What you know? Who the hell are you?? Being involved in an accident whithin 5 years proves nothing towards this video.You as a passenger may be involved in an accident within 5 years.A slow or fast driver could be in an accident. Thanks for stopping by.

  • @fmartinjr The drivers unprofessional attitude towards driving, level of attention while in operation of such equipment, lack of using appropriate safety equipment, commenting to the person operating the video camera, and poor usage of the sirens all point me in the direction of very poor driving techniques for someone with professional training in that department.

  • @fmartinjr It is a fact that persons who engage in such situations regularly while in operation of emergency equipment in stressful environments are at much greater risk, thereby very likely to be involved in an accident within 5 years.

  • @DC08SI It was unprofessional,the sirens were over-used, driver should have been totally concentrated on the road and other drivers aorund him,all of us on board should have had on seatbelts. You're not wrong about those things because it's obvious.No need to point out the obviously known. But my point is you don't know,or ride rigs with this driver so you don't know if this is an everyday thing, once a month, or just in this video the way he was driving.But you said a fact about regular drivers

  • @fmartinjr Or ,sorry "such situations regularly". Which is my point. keyword being Regularly.This is not his"regular" driving.And the officer in this video,this not his "regular footswitch power application for the "Q" siren either.

  • @fmartinjr *Rolls eyes* Ok, you know this is not his regular driving because you are either...

    a.) The driver himself. (This would explain the quick response that you obviously took offence too.)

    b.) You were born attached to the driver’s body. (Which I will state that I didn't see in the video.)

    I pointed out the obvious because other people beside you do read the comments, and perhaps they didn't realize the extent of unprofessionalism by the driver, officer or crew. Relax. ;)

  • @DC08SI I can roll my eyes too!!! Really.. @!? You don't need to worry about how I know if this is his regular driving or not. So you pointed out the obvious so that you could get attention from other people? Get your own videos and get your attention from that.If they click the video to watch,there is nothing to realize,because it's obvious! Stop sweating my jock. move on to your next video. thanks for stopping by

  • WOW..... Easy on the horn rookie. Poor judgement, ( no on even on the road for you to move ) NOT professional at all, Not even when I responded to a fire we used that much air or Q2. Good luck to your FD rookie. God bless

  • @oxytony Who are you talking to? The men up front aren't on this comment page or have Youtube accounts. And you're not talking to me! So good luck to you and yours ...Rookie!

  • @DC08SI Doubt it. Is he the best driver ive seen? No, but he does a good job. Or maybe your right. He is way too reckless. He took his hands off the wheel for a second and a half, and he didnt wait for 2 full lanes to clear out for him. Hes also driving way to fast. God i hope hes not coming to save me. He would be there way to quick.

  • @DC08SI

  • What is the AO doing yanking on the horn! Concentrate on driving and the officer of that engine needs to keep his crew quite during the response. Another thing, this is a prime example of why volunteer companies are looked down upon by career guys. Very unprofessional!

  • @coolsax64 No kidding.There is nothing here hiding the obvious,so no need for you to try and explain-the obvious!But,you weren't an AO about your point, so I respect that much, but no need to point at the already known.That's why I titled it as such and filled in the video description section,not as if it were to ever be a mystery.And lastly, most Career departments are the most contradictive,racist,law breaking MF's out there,so what they think of volunteers means nothing to me.

  • @fmartinjr I am a retired FF/AO, Worked in a combination dept and started as a volunteer. I understand now what you were trying to convey. I still teach every year for local vol ff acadamy's in my area. I find some of these video's a prime example of what not to do! Thanks and be safe!

  • @coolsax64 Thank you for replying.

  • Let off the pedal a few times!!!

  • Let off the pedal a few times!!! 

  • Way to much, seems like he just layed on the Q till you guys got there. Thing was probably screaming for mercy. Ha

  • bro, lol give it a rest mannnn! very funny tho it kept me up at 4:24 am laughing be safe out there guys

  • @GTFD71 Yeah ,that boiah was horrible on the "Q".

  • @fmartinjr Damn at 3:40 you guys hit some heavy traffic!!!!

  • umm just wondering what 232 engine is doing on I95 since Plewasent Hills is NO WHERE near I95 lol

  • @234enginehouse Going to a call.Pleasant Hills has nothing to with our locations for calls.

  • wow, yeah deffinitly to much!

  • php man it funy and cool

  • what does php mean

  • @cinnamo66 Pleasant Hills Posse

  • Nice video :)

  • hahahaha that seems like an engine id want to be on!!!!

  • man, you werent kidding when u said too much "Q"

  • @adamevans67 Yea definitely too much, you usually lean on it when approaching a red light at an intersection, but then once you're through, that's it. Hahaha.

  • fucking nobs

  • @calaxlover18 Where are you directing your comment?? Be complete with your comment.

  • @fmartinjr the guys in the truck blasting the siren lol there fucking nobs

  • @Keshaluv1000 My girl Kesh!! Sup babe... Probably 90% of the people that have and will continue to comment on this video, and videos simular,are here to hear themselves talk. The Fire, EMS, and Police services in America is the worst bunch of shit-stirrers,whiners,hypocrit­es,racists, and more. It's all good here.Some of the crew on this fire engine was just a little hyped up.

  • So, how much did the new Q siren cost, haha.

  • I love your video i whish my fire department blew there sireins like that nice jop be save out there. mikey stockton ca

  • THAT IS KOOL''''''''''''''''''''''''''­''''''''''

  • @michael70224 Thanks a lot Mikey.

  • ok

  • I was waiting for the Maxi brakes to come on when the air horn sucked the air tank dry. But never happened so thats good.

  • GIVE THE DAMN Q A REST! Its awesome to hear and effective but only if u pump it a little bit... NOT IF U HOLD ONTO IT FOR 5 MINUTES STRAIGHT!

  • Why would they call you guys out for a call that far away

  • hold the siren more

  • You guys need heatsets in your rig. That will help protect your hearing plus communicate easier on that long of a haul.

  • You'd get third degree burns touching that Federal Q. But at least no one can say you never use the thing. As they say use it or lose it.

  • GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY

  • I stopped hearing the siren 3 minutes into the video, I think i'm deaf.

  • All u east coast guys need to stop worrying about tradition,Wake up watch how the west coast fire fighters work!

  • i always say u can never have enough federal but this is a bit much, for god sakes man let it wind down some lol

  • @docman789 man i know right....bet their ears were ringing afterwords lol

  • OMG you should be banned driving Fire Trucks untill you are taurght to use the sirens and other warning equipment :(

  • @train672 The driver doesnt control the sirens...its the officer

  • Don't worry Frank... Us 21 and 23 boys are the same... Great guys, just no siren technique...

  • @LittleBandAid Yes sir,running Stanton Boxes.
