@ghostliner45 The Van and the car infront of it on the intersection? They probably didn't have a chance to do much more than they did if they had road noise, stereos going, etc. Emergency Vehicles are not meant to travel particularly fast against red lights, the point being that it's meant to give them the chance to avoid those who aren't expecting to see someone come out in front of them.
nothing wrong with our firetrucks in nz this siren is the warble sound very good very loud nothing like you guys still using the mechanical sirens so boring
Can anyone tell me what is the brand name and model of that siren? I'd love to have one in America. It's unique and bad ass. It sounds like the NZ version of the PowerCall
@pd007fd New Zealand traffic lights don't have pre-emption. People are expected to give way (yield) to all emergency vehicles with lights and/or sirens going even if they have a green light. It's just stupidity.
@lcmortensen We have a law that says the motorist must yield the right of way to an emergency vehicle...but they don't always do that. I love it when the continue traveling along the shoulder of the roadway going past intersections. I guess they don't think we might want to turn into the street or driveway they are driving by. Be safe!
i drive past that fire station every day - quite cool seeing a little bit of what you guys do every day. that old beast of a truck could do with a bit more power tho :D
I live in Pram and drive down that route everyday.
Anyway, just thought Id let you guys (and girls) know you do a shit hot job (no pun intended) and We (Paraparaumu residents) wish you guys a Merry Xmas and a safe 2008.
Do people not pull over in these countries? or slow down?
That red truck and the other car seemed not to give a fuck.

There are a few RHD American fire vehicles around NZ, but they're a dying breed. Try my vids of Auckland 205, Parnell 256, and Papatoetoe 345...
