FDNY Fire Truck Responding Stuck in Traffic

[MrYamaharider1234]

Its called "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY"

[timberland1108]

lmao NY has the best fire,ems, police but...... the worst drivers

[MrPelhambay]

@timberland1108 - no jersey has the worst drivers

[gitane1976]

imagine this scene on 9-11, when you didn't know yet what was going on on the direction of the WTC...............:-(

[ylen13]

People should just stop and let them run the siren until they get tired of it. What are they going to do give you a ticket? hahahahaha

[jetengine7]

@ylen13 Most people would prefer a ticket after hearing the 125dB produced by Federal Q siren. It's powerful enough to break glass and cause permanent hearing damage after only a few minutes. It also produces a unique square sound wave that penetrates through materials which means you'll experience its full intensity even inside you're car.

[ylen13]

@jetengine7 I obviously not most people. I have learned from early age how to ignore sound. They can run 125 db all day i will not care.

[jasonbsa]

each company customizes their rig's sirens.. some sound cool but very few is bad sound.

[hollywoodridgerunner]

man i know how it is to get stuck in trafic i work for the chicago fire dept.

[sgtjpmartin]

wannabej, it wouldnt matter if they had a special lane for fire and ems...everyone would still drive in it.

[wannabenj]

they should have a lane just designated for Emergency Service Vehicles.

[daekol]

@wannabenj They have that on some streets.

[HilaryHaylieRocks08]

my city has blue lights on the engines and im 10 mins away from nyc

[PixxzoneBasti]

I've never seen any us firetruck with blue lights... just red and clear.

I wish our fire engines in germany could have them too... us trucks look so much better, compared with germans

[hart0319601]

We are putting red, white, blue and orange lights on our trucks now for better visiblity. Apparently people cannot see only red lights

[BGVAC31]

It all depends on where you go in the U.S., there are a few states that allow there Emergency vehicles to have blue with red. New York is red and clear to front, red and amber to the back or clear. Now DOT law changed for NY LE's they are allowed to have blue rear facing but not any front facing. Ever since new DOT laws FD's and EMS are trying to impliment it for them also. Many FD's are adding blue to the rear anyways and not following the DOT law where there not allowed to have blue in rear

[tomtomyers]

In Michigan, only law enforcement vehicles are allowed blue lights. I have been in several states where I have seen blue on ambulances...don't remember about Fire Trucks in other states....

[EMUmonster]

FDNY would be a bad ass dept to work for problem is they only hire like every 4 years

[hz6761]

Federal EQ2B?

[wolverinealex24]

y didnt they just honk there horns the whole time and get them fuckers to move

[bitethedevil]

Whats with all the white emergency lights on the second truck? Where's the red and or the blue lights??

[skrivbok]

Blue lights are not used in the State of New York. Heard they're illegal.... :-S

[JACKHAMMER82A1]

blue lights r used by volunteer firefighters in their personal cars asking the public to yield out of the way in upstate and long island new york

[ITSMEJV123]

Yes and No. In NY they are only allowed to be used on federal vehicles.

[lawpar79]

man,those damn taxi drivers don't know how to drive. they all drive like dumb a**es honking their horns .

1st of all oncoming firetrucks

2nd of all they should be pulling over for them.

[Picaz0r]

Does anybody know what kind of siren the second truck is using? Brand?

[serendib5415]

Think it's a Federal Signal PA300

[koolcat830]

I live in nyc I see this everyday the taxi drivers don't care about emergency vehicles

[NYCVEC]

yes i also see that everytime i am in manhattan .

There so stupid till they selve died because some other taxi drivers hadnt cleared the street for the fdny :/

thi is so stupid of them also because of the fact that there heroes of 9/11 :O

[firefighter7999]

Damn Taxies gotta F***ing move!!!!

[starcraftguy1]

Damn drivers, especially the taxi drivers, which make most of the cars on the streets

Great sounding EQ2B, it almost sounds like the real Q

[admiralackbar999]

im gonna sound real stupid with this but can some1 please tell me what "Q" is?

[RamichCandidate]

iv always taken it as the big airhorn thing i think.

if im right you hear it at 8 secs and 33 secs.

im probably wrong though, please someone enlighten me aswell lol

[DanDaMan99X]

@RamichCandidate no man its the entire 1st truck

[mlps93]

Q is that air raid like sounding siren you hear from the first truck.

[RamichCandidate]

damn lol i thought it was the big air horn. i love that, it was vibrating right through me hahaha

[THEEnuclearGUMMYbear]

@admiralackbar999 A "q" is the siren that you hair rev up loud and long, its very drawn out and damn loud!

[thecatyoukai]

@admiralackbar999 The "Q" is federal signals best selling mechanical siren. It is the classic "american siren" on trucks, the wind up ones. When its on full blast(screaming) It can actully crack cars windows. Youtube it, and see the power it has.

[theojer87]

@admiralackbar999 a q is that cone with a big round thing with what looks like a screen on it on the front

[CLCproductions31927]

@admiralackbar999 its a siren 

[mlps93]

jeeez people, is not rocket science requiring you to move.

[CDPDPatrolUnit]

It's electric Q. Using a real Q in NYC is illegal.

[LifesaversofFuture]

In certain areas or sometimes it can be legal.

[mikebigs21]

why?

[RDG484]

I think the electronic Q is a nice compromise between having a siren that sounds like a fire truck and not having something that gets the "concerned citizens" too upset about high-decibels. But if it were up to me I would have real Q's on all the apparatus no matter what. The reason being how would these "concerned citizens" feel if it was their place of residence that was burning?

[FDNY101202]

electric Q

[FirefighterEmt4Life]

great siren!!
