One day.. I keep an ear open as I pass though.. Still have not caught any action. I'll be through tomorrow. Maybe something will occur? Glad to see the "amp hog' on LFD's new Engine.
I have heard (not too recently, late last year) there were talking about building 2 new POC stations and manning Hall 4 F/T by 2010 or 2012, part of the city's big plan
No way? I love to beat the crew when I'm on the Rescue Engine. Of course it's the other way around when I'm wearing the white shirt on the bone wagon.
Actually it is far from where I live. I live in Calgary, Alberta. I have family that lives in Nanaimo, and I enjoy taking videos of Emergency Vehicles (hence my videos). So for me, it would be worth it. Get to see family and get some videos!
I got a video of Truck 4 today :)

Thanks! I don't get to Nanaimo much anymore so it was cool to get a clip of one of NFD's new Engines. I heard they may be cutting jobs in the NFD??

Yeah, over all they are nice! I'm just not a huge fan of the new logo.. The Nanaimo "Swish".. Ugh!

Hey it's not that far from where you live.. But it is if your coming to see these new Rosenbauer/Spartan Engines. They're just not that flashy!

Good thing its not the eq2b yelp, its sounds terrible.
The only time they use horn when people dont move out of the way.
It cant be that hard to yield to an emergancy vehicle.

Thanks! Yeah, it's not rocket science?! Yet, many BC drivers still do not get it while others do not care to yield regardless.
911caddy 3 years ago
do you know if people can get tickets/fines for not yielding ?
starcraftguy1 3 years ago
A friend of mine in Surrey got his license suspended for 3 months because he didn't yield to an ambulance that was going code 3.

Wow, if there were more highway patrol cars out there most of the motoring public wouldn't be driving their automobiles.
Was your friend a"new" driver?
