Rescue 21 Miami Fire-Rescue

[NavalFroces]

first seconds, there are a chair?

[Rummeltobi]

Love it how the wail sounds in that street :D

[mdpdoldcop]

The next response will be to the Department legal advisor, who had a heart attack when he saw this video.

[rascl1000]

see, thats why i dont understand why they build fire stations on one way streets.

[cwjones0322]

@rascl1000 riiiight??? at least the traffic response was GREAT considering it's Miami...

[jazzbutterworth]

Does Miami have qs? (Not Miami-Dade, but Miami.)

[FireBuff51]

Every department has different terms. In Los Angeles, the LAFD (L.A. City FD) calls their ambulances "rescues" or "RA's" (rescue ambulance). L.A. County FD calls their medic units "squads" (small utility truck ala Squad 51 from the TV series Emergency!). LAFD calls their Hazmat units "squads". L.A. City and County FD's both call their heavy rescue units "USAR's" ex: USAR 27 (Urban Search And Rescue). FDNY's squads are basically like rescue engines.

[gibbymcgibson]

that driver just said F society and made his own rules

[mario90122]

when isn't an ambulance out in the street in Miami it's dangerous over there

[utefan27]

there is a new hit show coming on and it's called "when ambulances break the law"

[theneptune2011]

these are not ambulance ..and not a rescue...thse are hospitals on wheels...bt the way they have less than 5 minutes to get the scene...if the do more than 5 minutes..they are in trouble...to many sue...for that reason they don't care if obama motorcade is coming trought...they have the right of way ALWAYS

[andro8138]

I like the american idea : firefighter = paramedic. We have it seperated here.

[csc9950]

two things, one that is a huge ambulance, two that was a one way street...

[brian445]

@csc9950 And???

It was a code three call stupid

[homiej76]

What a crappy place to put a fire station, lol

[ArmyRescue2]

wtf was that a one way street?

[122firefighter]

jawolll, vui gegen die einbahn, die gfoin ma

[pepemandarria]

rescue911 the diference betwen and ambulance and a rescue truck is big...ambulance is just to transport...and the rescue is a hole hospital on wheels..they can make a surgery in one of these trucks

[pepemandarria]

looks like no...they are in wrong way....this is dowtown station...27 ave..(the hood)...3 blocks from jackson trauma center

[JrSAR101]

WHO THE HELL PUT A STATION ON A ONE WAY STREET!?!?! someone must have been having a bad day... "Lets put it... HERE!!!!"

[Bobman84]

Are those FL Freightliners just as unreliable as they are in Australia? There are a few FL80 fire pumpers here but have proven to be absolute pieces of junk.

[FireBuff51]

@Bobman84 I'm not a firefighter but the ones that I've talked to have said that the Freightliner ambulances hold up pretty well.

[andryxa25]

medlenno

[EnjoyFirefighting]

@19Fabi95 abgesehen davon dass es nicht NYC ist sondern Miami, so machen die lieber mal paar Leuchten mehr drauf als paar zu wenig (man werfe mal kurz nen Blick nach Frankreich ^^) Ansonsten gibts es auch in Europa Fahrzeuge von der Feuerwehr, Rettungsdienst oder Polizei die ziemlich mit LEDs überladen sind (mehrere LED Balken, 6 Frontblitzer, Springlicht usw usw).

Einiges wie z.B. die Intersection lights können sich die Deutschen noch abschauen, sind sehr sinnvoll (Köln machts bei uns vor)

[mikeebesaw]

Its an ambulance, ambulances can go what ever way they want.

[Africanisse]

crazy big ambulance

[Emtfirefighter4life1]

He is going wrong way

[PCmujammil1]

lokked like the ambulance went the wrong way

[toby8761]

this is the most sutpidest idea ever

like seriously who put a fire station

on a one way street

[THEBIGREDFIREENGIN]

I STOPED BY THAT HOUSE BE IN SIDE ITS VERY NICE PLACE GREAT GROP OF GUYS

[nytech04]

that was a dump road design. why not cut the curb in frront of the fire house so they dont have to go into opposing traffic to make a right turn.

[drewpers101]

@nytech04 Going the wrong way sometimes the smartest way..... its hard to miss the flashing lights coming at you

[joelwhitaker]

Nice to see they have the office chair ready and waiting to respond at a moments notice!

[xXTombstoneXx]

That's no ambulance! That's a RESCUE! ;-)

[xXTombstoneXx]

Ha! Way to Go Get Em!

Nothing gets them out of the way like running head-on with lights and siren!

Nice proven shortcut to Miami Avenue!

Keep up the good work guys!

[theatomicfart1001]

Uggh ya it's called the opticom system it turns the lights green to red or when it's at a station the lights flash amber when they respond it turns red

[moabmutt]

hahahhaha its kinda funny how that truck goes the oppisite way

[NJFire1906]

thats why you never drink and drive kids

[moabmutt]

@NJFire1906 heck ya

[pruitt3507]

he had some balls doin that

[2U602]

Boy that was short but the clearness and noshaking made it good

[defender195]

im guessing that truck is a light rescue not heavy rescue. right?

[wwwrescue911de]

that's an ambulance,,,

[jazzbutterworth]

@wwwrescue911de Down in Florida, they call them rescues.

[wwwrescue911de]

@jazzbutterworth

i know, that's why i had put "rescue" in the title.

[Viatox]

@wwwrescue911de They call them rescue units here too. What's the difference between this truck and an actual ambulance?

[joek0617]

@wwwrescue911de call it a rescue ambulance

[KotyGalaxy]

@jazzbutterworth Lol I've never heard an ambulance called a "rescue" in Florida.

[jazzbutterworth]

@KotyGalaxy Yeah. I used to live in Jupiter. All the ambulances in Florida are called rescues. The trucks containing extraction gear are called heavy rescues. It's a little confusing.

[gibbymcgibson]

@jazzbutterworth Ya in Arizona, the ambo's are called rescues as well, and most of the engines/ladders carry extraction stuff etc. But there are a couple departments that have "squads" that are basically a FDNY Rescue 1 they can do it all.... Its some new system that is sticking in certain spots I guess.

[jazzbutterworth]

@gibbymcgibson The squads you speak of could also be called (the name I'm familiar with) heavy rescues.

[cooldogcool51]

@wwwrescue911de its a fire rescue?

[christian18075]

@wwwrescue911de yeah buddy, in florida the stations run both fire and medical so most stations have an ambulance (rescue) at the fire house or a rescue nearby a fire dept

[AntiochFireman]

holy crap he is goin down a one way street

[dva511]

thats normal here in miami you see them on an engine going about 40mph on wrong way and they dont care shit you just gota move your ass

[PowwowTime]

Holy moly was that a one way street?

[4106650464]

@PowwowTime ooh i just noticed that :P

[twinboysfire52]

awesome video

[JBurk2322]

looks like hes goin the wrong way

[tanker12121212]

@JBurk2322 i agree, it does look like he's going the wrong way

[EnragedGonad]

@JBurk2322 Ha red lights say he's going the right way.

[chayut1992]

@JBurk2322 Emergency vehicles with full lights and sirens on response can ignore traffic rules to get possible shortest way from station to scene.

[mariuswwww]

@JBurk2322 No shit sherlock

[xdisruptx]

Whelen

[gp4269]

lol yes its a one way street it, most of downtown Miami are one way streets. cutting that half block saves 2 min when traveling north on NE 1st Avenue
