The speed the tire was rotating makes it look like it is not spinning. The snow being thrown up is because it is deep and he is driving through it. Just a firetruck going to a call on snowy roads.
The engine was NOT sliding on the snow or ice. Pay close attention to the rear of that unit and you will notice that the brake lights are NOT lighting up. The emergency LEDs are but no tail lights. Last time i check if a driver hit the brakes on a emergency vehicle the tail lights should light up or it wouldnt pass the D.O.T. inspection.

yeah well everone can say he did the right thing by hitting his horn what if people or a car was the intersection and they hit them? huh? huh? thats right the drive of the truck sould and needs to SLOW down before he or she kills some on
He wasn't sliding...it just appears that way. It would have been much more noticeable had he actually locked up his breaks...you would have heard it happening.
@trainlova12 actually its called roost. the tires were throwing the snow out words just like tires do in the rain. if he was sliding the snow would of been pushing and budging up against the front of the wheel.
not to bust your bubble but sure looked to me like the illusion of being still at the speed it was going...almost made it look like they were slightly spinning backwards..im sure you all know what i mean?? now being in snow would even appear in person to be sliding...if indeed the brakes where applied and locked then the truck would have fish tailed even slightly...the driver would know better than to apply at that moment
Damn fine driving by the Chaueffer/Engineer Operator. Keeps the vehicle in a controlled direction...and sounds the collision alarm ;-P. Nothing scarier than being in the back of a Fire engine when it goes into a skid on a slick surface. As an EO my hat comes off for this guy, cause if that had been me...i'd have probably wound up laying the truck on its side.

@Bruticus713 he was hitting the horn rapidly because of the red light upfront. if you notice he was slowed down a lot before the red light.
