VERY GOOD

[OnThe23rd]

There has to be some kind of safety regulation for lights on the vehicles. We all know someone will probably have a medical emergency because they're epileptic or something and then sue the convention to make a few bucks off it.. Sounds silly but you'd be surprised nowadays.

[ffmedic4u2]

You guys are right... Not much thought put into lighting... Shoulda decked it out!!!

[squigee62090]

To be honest, I've seen volo's with better lighting.

[Skiier1000]

get sum real lights on that thing. a big rotator lightbar uptop...sum LED flashers in the grill and windshield...and some other lights. maybe hide-aways in the head&tail lights.

[SaLTLiFe4TL]

wow now thats just sad thats not a truck thats a fucking soccer moms car. that thing is a pussy compared to the original hummer. GM what are you doing the H1 is a beast this thing is some green fag peace save money shit fuck that. sorr its 3 am right now on a tuesday morning and im drunk but this is retarted for real this hot wheels in the wheel world and it is sad.

[Ultraussie]

That teeny-tiny Lightbar on the roof...

Hillarious.

All it does is Flash On/Off.

[finchskyfox]

They have hummer police vehicles in Melbourne australia

[lordvader665]

I can see why.

[sonicxlc123]

hey if they got to go in the woods were its muddy an no other vehicle can go that one can it can do it an save someone from mountain hiking or hunting or something idk

[Jordan3259]

I want that lol thats awesome. And i dont get why paid and unpaid guys cant just get along were both going and the paid guys are still getting paid lol i mean it differs from state to state i know but hell everyone puts in there part at saving lives and property. So props to all! :)

[cymbalhoss]

all that is important is saving those you can and making home safe and sound.

[EPFRstation34]

NCfiremedic.............. you are a retard.

[emtff357]

i second that

[bhawkins20]

The Hummer 0-18 sec would be perfect for my pops hes always the first responder to a Fire and EMS call

[soffieeee1502]

nobody dont need a car like that,

what a waste of tax money

[ShmexiiDuh]

trini hummer lmaoo ;]

[ncfiremedic]

It never ceases to amaze me how all of you bucket boys (wannabe firemen) think that you are the ones who save the world.

Want a real job? - Become a Paramedic.

[hutchensriley]

i will agree with you on one thing, firefighters do take all the fame, but its not necesarily a better job then being a firefighter

[generallee777]

What a badass truck!

[leedyj489]

lol...ur right

[compassstl]

Gah, use a Jeep Wranger, just as capable and safe (if you get the hardtop version, especially the 4-door) with better visibility and gas mileage, plus they don't carry the social stigma/taboo that Hummers and Suburbans do.

[bbvfdcheif2]

dude get a h1 h3s are a waste

[squigee62090]

go back a year and 3 months in time and tell them that...

[Lonewolf6565]

@bbvfdcheif2

they dont make them anymore. they havent for a few years. and the contractors that build the humvees only sell to the military and PMCs

[ZIG2002]

not practical !!!

[AtlantaGaMan]

Hummers are so OVER RATED!

[IAm2Superbad4U]

my dad is a first responder and they use a 2007 chevy surburban for there rescue vehicle.

[03redfiretruck]

you are correct about the term Medical First responder, but I think this hummer and its title , First responder is more aimed twards the definition of first responder, "The term 'first responder' refers to those individuals who in the early stages of an incident are responsible for the protection and preservation of life, property, evidence, and the environment

[ooshney]

but we all know that paramedics are the ones that truly save the day.

[Ladder499999]

Hey, no disrespect or anything but I don't entirely agree. Here in my town we (my FD) always get called to respond with EMS because they never are strong enough to lift their patients onto the stretcher. Its really quite annoying, responding full code 3 to what we are told is a critical patient, only to arrive and be asked to load up the patient then return to station...

[firechasers]

While I'm always grateful for the Paramedics when they arrive, that's the REAL issue..."when they arrive". Fire always arrives before the ALS crew. I've kept many people from dying while waiting for the Paramedics.

Of course, you also have the issue of extrication or technical rescue. Without the Firefighters to get the patients out, the Ambulance Jockeys would have not work to do.

Yes, they are VERY important, but without Fire Department EMS response, many lives would be lost.

[RyanChef]

Very true! I must agree with you there!

And on the topic of the car itself, it needs better lights on the top :P

[shaunegg2002]

hmmm... at the ambulance company i run with we do the extrication and have our own rescue truck.. but i also run with a vol. fire department and we do QRS service.. so in my opinion they are both equally important. plus normally the fire department is closer than the ambulance

[ChevRcr454]

give it a V8 or an inline Diesel and that H3 would rule.

[smithpak1]

atleast it'd get better gas mileage...

[Videoengineer]

I would put about $2k more into the lights but other than that I would LOVE to own that thing :)

[ronanging]

A fist responder is a step below an Emergency medical technician, the official name for a first responder is EMFR( Emergency medical first responder), people trained to this level should be able to operate portable defibrillators and carry out advanced first aid on the public.... that answers that!

[notar1]

what is a First Responder?

[squigee62090]

It's just a display vehicle, so I believe it has no meaning.

But if it did have a legitimate reason, it would be that they are the first ones on the scene aka the first to respond *hint hint*

[notar1]

no ther is a job opening for one here in oregon and trying to look up what they do ...thanx

[squigee62090]

lol...you're welcome

And I believe it's the same thing as a paramedic...

I will look into that...

[klacklery]

@notar1 First responders have at least a Medical First Responder license. They are the first responders for accidents, and help triage (give patients priority) and can perform basic life saving techniques such as CPR. An MFR cannot work in the back of an ambulance, but, they can drive one.

[nmcarpenter]

Good video, but not impressed with the vehicle at all. Looks like a toy rather than a serious response vehicle.

[chaoss667]

Heck, an old Buckeye Roto-Ray would attract more attention than the lighting on this Hummer!

[lilducky59106]

they need more lights on it. its not very notice able.

[CTFD13]

i woulda put wig wags, a directional bar in the upper rear window, LED's on the ouside rear by the license plate, more LED's up front, something in the front windshield, and a diff. pattern for the highlighter. and mayby corner strobes

[sta540rulz]

its a nice hummer but ahh i woulda picked a set of faster flashing LED lights instead of those slow things

[MartinCVFD]

wish my department had a hummer. oh well, we just bought a new rescue truck so we're pretty much outta money right now. lol. we're plannin on buyin another set of jaws for the first responder.

[CtFdPoSt330]

that looks like a fed sig highlighter on the roof.

[Rofocowboy84]

I saw that one before. One of the worst lighting jobs ever.....

[PoliceCarCrazyMike]

Wow, Love the hummer! Never see that in the UK!!!Mike.

[BlaineBugaski]

Nice, what time of day were you there? Barely anybody there I see!

[squigee62090]

I was on the way out at closing, that's why alot of the ceiling lights are off.
