geil ich bin eine gummi puppe

[11dez94]

Ich finde denn ton von dem horn so genial ;) ich bekomm voll die gänsehaut wenn ich das horn höre:•)

[EnjoyFirefighting]

@11dez94 gibt (fast) so schöne Hörner auch in Europa :)

[goth00man]

sowas würd ich auch gern in deutschland hören....mit sirene und horn.

[EnjoyFirefighting]

@goth00man gibts in Deutschland soweit ich weiss nicht (jedenfalls nur mit recht laschen Hörnern), aber in einigen Ländern Europas gibts die Hörner, bzw. sehr ähnliche Hörner, schon.

[goth00man]

@EnjoyFirefighting ich hab hier bei YT jetzt schon viele Videos gesehen, von deutschen LF mit Wail Signal.

Wenn Deutschland nun noch das Presslufthorn einsetzt, kriegt auch der letzte schwerhörige noch was mit :-)

Ich fänd´s Klasse!

[EnjoyFirefighting]

@goth00man naja viel ist seeehr relativ: gibt/gab wail in Erfurt, derzeit in Weimar, dann das eine LF wo dies aus Spaß drauf getan haben und paar alte DDR-Fahrzeuge. Dazu sind die deutschen wail/yelp und Bullhörner noch etwas schwach auf der Brust;

wail/yelp Sirenen und airhorn sind z.B. in Norwegen STANDARD (einfach mal nach Feuerwehr Oslo oder Trondheim suchen auf YT), in Dänemark wird alles vom E-Horn, E-Pressluft, richtige Pressluft, wail, yelp bis hin zu Rumbler verwendet.

wenn die bei den sírenen nicht immer hupen würden wären sie geil

[Donz2o1o]

Nice Truck , nice siren , nice Horn 

[werderdago]

die feuerwehr wagen aus amerika sind kult einfach nur geil und erst recht die sirenen

[XBoesesKindX]

@ Woody093

you are completely right. the german trucks are very small and the sirene sounds.....funny^^

i am from germany, but i saw an american "firetruck" (is it right?) in cape coral, florida. The only thing i can say.....absolutly awesome. Very big...and very loud.

nice greetings from germany

[Woody083]

Ich komme aus New York. Mir ist ein Feuerwehr. Ich finde die siren aus Deutschland sehr nervend. Den Feuer LKW's auf Deutschland sind sehr kleiner als hier.

Ich find die Amerikaniches anzug besser auch, aber den Deutsches helm sind shick aus.

[EnjoyFirefighting]

@Woody083 yes the average german engine is smaller than the US, but they fit perfectly on our streets; a US truck just wouldn't fit through the sometimes very narrow streets. By having smaller trucks it's also easier to maneuver them through traffic. And yeah the sirens are very different; most big engines here have air pressured sirens, other countries like Norway use a siren similar to the american ones. But all in all both trucks do their job ^^

greetings from Germany

[KingOfSpongebob1922]

Die Amerikanischen Feuerwehr Wagen sehn viel besser aus als in Deutschland!

[timmel94]

ich find deutsche autos sehen am besten aus nur die amerikanischen sirenen find ich viel cooler

[TheRosso56]

the Q siren should be louder

[SonicOverlordUK]

Brilliant!

[PCnever]

Heibha, why would they were helmets in the fire engine??? we dont do that here, and respirators?? why would they were them, they are driving TO the call.

[SonicOverlordUK]

So that they're ready when they get there maybe? Seconds as precious.

[Heibha]

When i was in SF that spring it seemed like most of the fire engine who race through the city with siren on are only there to entertain tourists. i mean the crew sat relaxed in the cab WITH T SHIRTS ON. no helmets no respirators.

Anyway: i love american fire engine siren! Anyone knows where to get that sound as an MP3??

[Wouter112]

The FD's do more than just fire fighting these days, like medical calls? For those call you dont need the complete fire fightinggear.

[alikos88]

I have been to Italy and Germany.

I personally like the Feurwehr's MARTINS-HORN better.

The Italian siren is just outright annoying- no offense to any italians- but they really need better sirens.

[militarypolice45]

Ami Feuerwehr besser als Deutsche!!!

[Germanlivestyle]

Ahja..also löscht die Deutsche ka Feuer und rettet Menschenleben oder was? gott bist du behindert ey!!!

[Navium]

Can anyone tell me how I could get one of those cool sounding intersection horns ? I'd like to put it in my Volkswagen Beetle....there must be a way to get it although it might be illegal.

Thanks for helping me or giving me a hint...

[fanoseagrave]

They should be Grover 21" Emergency horns. The "typical" Grover Emergency horn is 24 1/2" long.

[Navium]

Hi there....

do you know, where I could buy that horn online and how much it would probably cost ?

Is it illegal to put it into a privatly owned car ??

[fanoseagrave]

It probably is illegal. I used to have a two-trumpet air horn (typically used on trash trucks, tank trucks, etc.) on my old Ford Bronco II that was very loud. I had to take it off because every time I wanted to use it there was ALWAYS some decrepid 90+ year-old hag standing right there that I knew would die of a heart attack if I dare touched the horn button. But try E-bay or maybe Grover's own web site. They should be the 21" trumpet.

[fanoseagrave]

(2nd try) They should be Grover 21" Emergency horns. The "typical" Grover Emergency horns are 24 1/2" long.

[seagravefan]

I like those horns on that truck. What's odd is that only Pierce and ALF use those particular horns.

[CTFD13]

yeah, some departments here have 2 sirens and an airhorn going like crazy.

[F19882]

I said that we Germans can get through the traffic without bullhorn but it is a great video.

[seagravefan]

Funny you mention that. In Philadelphia, they recently retired a fleet of about a dozen Seagrave Invader (military-style square cab) pumps that had only a Federal Q siren with NOTHING else. No air horn, no electronic siren; just a Q. And they got through traffic just as well as anything that sounded like a whole parade!! I miss them.

[F19882]

Wir deutschen schaffen das zwar auch ohne Bullhorn, aber trotzdem nen super Shot!

[wapac]

i agree with what F19882 said. (what?)
