E/T 24 responding to a VCR

[hunterd557]

Jeeze, need to buy new tweeters now. That was wicked.

[legoreviewerman]

Is that in Maryland? Some place like Earligh Heights, is if I spelled that right?

[slideshowmaker23]

Now thats what i call blasting!

[bear100285]

my favorite siren combo.

[TheEMS41]

Seagrave 4 ever ! :-)

[adcnortty]

Nice! Need to add just a couple more lights......:) Nice video

[flammabletube]

Love the rotary beacon in the front cool stuff

[kylereel]

what is that in the middle of the fire truck i never see it before what is it called????

[adam022695]

Its a rotoray

[kylereel]

thank you

[FOGBIT44]

I'm also a PA f/f and thats part of the fire departments job (at least fire-police) is to sit there and direct traffic...the police will show up, and wait for the fire department, and leave, there NOT going to sit there when they have other calls to run!!!!

[Lawmaster1702]

but see, thats the problem right there...they dont have other calls to run...they just go bac to the barracks and sit around. my station has had other call we needed to go out on, but had to tell dispatch to send someone else cause we were stuck babysitting a scene, that we shouldnt have had to.

[fireman1]

i always find it funny watching vids with the police running lights and sirens to wrecks..the PA state police handle wrecks in my area..and the only thing they do is investagate. not only do they not run to the scene lights and siren..it usaly takes them 1/2-an hour getting on scene.

[tampabaynews]

I don't see how it's funny... Here law enforcement always shows up, and way before fire rescue does. Even for the crashes that FHP handles, the city/county always gets there to secure the scene till they get a trooper over. Fire rescue shouldn't have to waste manpower on traffic/crowd control and babysitting a scene.

[fireman1]

i agree..I'm just saying how different it is in PA..its not unusual for my dept to be on scene of wire down for 2-3 hours to direct/detour traffic. state police are there at the beginning but always seem to have to leave within a half hour.

[tampabaynews]

It should be the other way around! lol

[bec1422]

Ya im a Pa. firefighter to, and if you have the police ban on your pager you can hear them asking dispatch to call out the fire department for minor things like wires down, just because they dont want to sit their.

[fireman1]

yeah its funny how they expect a vol fire dept to baby sit stuff they should be on..lol oh well i dont really mind.

[Lawmaster1702]

i'm a firefighter in Pa to, and my company always gets stuck sitting on scene babysitting, and there have been times when we havebeen called out a second time and had to tell dispatch to put another company on it because we are babysitting cause the state trooper left the scene.

[XxrotorayxX]

@fireman1 thats very true in pa the state police usually take a half an hour to show up from the barracks only about seven miles away and then leave shortly thereafter thats why our department signed a deal with a neighboring communities p.d. since we dont have any they go on anything with us from house fires to smoke investigations and wrecks along with ems calls.

[fireheadquarters]

the pa thing sounds exactly like where i live in ca

[oneskirvin]

holy shit was the world on fire or something damn lol

[NC403Firefighter]

'Oneskirvin'....read the info dude....in this video, 24 and the other 3 vehicles are enroute to a VCR...Vehicle Collsion w/ Rescue

[FirefighterEmt4Life]

oh ok!! great vid!

[FirefighterEmt4Life]

Great video!! whos the units following? 2 pd's and a chief im asuming, or are povs alowed to run reds and sirens where you are?

[solamander2HVFC]

2 PD and im not sure what the one in the middle is. Maybe another PD.

[DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3]

So, was it stuck on rewind, was there smoke coming from it or what? I mean, why send an engine to a VCR?

[canadianboy40]

Were you trying to be funny or are you just stupid. You arent remotley funny, so im going to lean towards the stupidity.

[DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3]

Well really? Why the hell are they running on a Video Cassette Recorder?

Common abbreviation for this is MVA.

[canadianboy40]

They arent responding to a motor vehicle accident idiot, theyre responding to a vehicle collision needing rescue, hence the VCR, not MVA.

[DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3]

A vehicle collision is a motorvehicle accident fuck breath!

[canadianboy40]

An MVA is a call with a vast majority of possible meanings, a VCR is telling the emergency responders that there was a vehicle collision, and rescue is needed. Grow up.

[dmn110]

Not in our county.

[moneyhahn]

i wish our station went out with q blaring, all we do is crack the electric on

[4whelrkd23]

nice q, nice powercall, nice seagrave!!

[spde114]

gotta love that powercall

[honestabe08]

ok my fault and yes i know i spelled it wrong i noticed that right after i posted it

[honestabe08]

then whyd you ask

[honestabe08]

if your talking about the spinning thing its called a rotory its an emergancy light system on some fire trucks

[DBR00]

I was wondering the same thing... thanks

[CDPDPatrolUnit]

I love wail/yelp.

[kevinsilverado]

Must be a regional thing...but what's a VCR?

(other than the thing on my TV I never use anymore...lol)

Guessing it's similar to MVA here (motor vehicle accident)

[hampfirefighter]

hey the cazoo3132 is my brothers page if ya need to know anything just message me here ill be glad to help ya

[dolphins4life4ever]

nice siren on the truck

[mxfrmbarsspbdsrtrver]

wanst those POVs and one cop?

[solamander2HVFC]

First came the cop, then volunteer fire police, then another cop

[fire904]

is the second police vehicle a volly? the SUV.

[solamander2HVFC]

no it was Fire Police

[newjerseynfd]

So correct me if im wrong, but do you mean arson squad?

[express55589]

Its fire police.....the like cops but with out the cops......there like firemen but without the firemen.......the mainly secure traffic and stuff like that

[lowfords22]

That's a good idea! Here, Spokane City cops get tied up for traffic control which keeps em from serious crimes.

[fire904]

I like how u got the cops in there too. nice vid.
