@MrMackinacisland Because you never know when some moron is going to run a red light...not everyone is smart enough to pull over or stop when a truck is running hot.
@TheThh Our rigs look just like your rigs Canadian. Its because WE MAKE THEM & SELL THEM TO YOU! Canada couldn't build a lawn tractor much less a firetruck.
@zaffdoc no but don't you think its important to shut the bays? Zaffdoc i respect your work and love your videos, i wasn't trying to disrespect the video in anyway
@gunner18ful >>---> The way things are in this day and time you are correct. I did not take it as being disrespectful. I like all comments good and not so good, but I hate to get a FAIL.. lol
To me driving these rigs red light and siren is one of the perks. I it is fun as hell. Don't get me wrong I am a firm believer in safe apparatus operations but half the fun is getting there. It is often dangerous you can expect the public to do some of the dumbest things when they see you coming. It is the drivers job to get the apparatus to the scene in a safe timely manner. That is the challenge.
@1417firefighter I actually took all the videos myself. I started taking home movies of fire apparatus in 1958 and changed over to video in 1990. Obviously, I converted the home movies to video.
@paraawesome i partially agree i LOVE the mech. Q but i dont feel its enough in heavy traffic areas the electronics help "fill in the gap" per se but thats just my 2cents
great thanx
