I wonder if all police fire and ambulances could be fitted with some sort of device that works when the lights and sirens are activated the device would turn all traffic lights within a certain distance to red in all directions sure would save drivers from having to go thru what both drivers in this vid had to
@flammabletube That won't do shit for idiot's like this guy. He reminds me of a guy who I know, who will blow ALL red lights if he has the opening because "They waste time, and do nothing"
@flammabletube Are you being serious? Because there definitely is a device that does exactly what you just said. Some older traffic lights are not equipped with the device that picks up the opticom though.
@XxNINJA636xX Yes I am being very serious there are too many police fire and ambulance and other emergancy vehicle crews being injured and killed all over the world because of idiot car drivers and yes I know EV drivers have to take care but the other idiots do not
@flammabletube You must not be in the Fire or EMS service. There are devices that change lights and they have been around for a number of years. They are called opti-coms.
lucky that fire truck didnt kill some one. all emergancy veh have to stop at a red light and only proceed once the right of way has been yeiled to them. you cant blaim the suv driver, he had the right of way and no visual contact with the fire truck till the last second. Sound echos in citys and you cant always tell were the sound is comeing from. The onas is always on the emergancy operator to ensure the safety of his crew and other drivers/pedestrians
I am not sure what state you are from, but in my state ALL emergency vehicles must drive with due regard. No where will you see that all fire/ambulance/police have to come to a complete stop; moreover, if you look at the video, the fire truck was in view of that lane for about 200. Driver inattention? oh yeah.
That's why they need to stop at all lights. Newer vehicles have soundproofing that negates outside noise. NOBODY has the law to run a red. Period. They need to stop, whether PD, FD or EMS.
Well im a firefighter, and most people must not realize that firetrucks running code 3, are to slow down almost to a stop at redlights, just for that reason. Yes, the drive of the SUV is an idiot for not hearing the Q and seeing the lights, but at any rate....
Yet another example of how everyday drivers to do stupid things on the road. This asswipe was probably on the phone, applying makeup or texting someone.
Can't tell you how many times I see this stupid shit every damn day. And the thing of it is this asshole was probably cursing the fire truck for trying to get through the intersection.
i have seen drivers do stupid things around emergency vehicles,like the moron back in 96 it was snowing and i heard a fire truck on approch a car zipped passed my to catch the green light i heard the truck give three blasts meening he cant stop this idiot keept going and came inchs away from getting t boned. the fire truck was in a slide cause of this dork.do we not hear the sirens and the warning blasts.
Emergency vehicles must yield to red lights..period. All depts have SOPs stating that they must come to a complete stop before proceeding. If this driver would have creamed that SUV he could have been sued along with the OIC of the rig. Unsafe practice, too many MPO/DO don't realize that to deal with the emergency in which they respond they have to get there and not make another emergency. If you look at the light as he goes past the camera it was green for cross traffic
moron in the red jeep, ur supposed to STOP IF YOU HEAR FIRE TRUCK, AMBULANCE, OR POLICE VEHICAL AND PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LET THEM BY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (idiot)
I was at a red light and an ambulance, with lights and siren on, got trapped by traffic behind me. Even though everyone in the opposing traffic stopped, the ambulance turned their lights/siren off, just to keep me and the driver next to me from going through the red light. Once the light turned green, the ambulance turned the lights/siren back on, everyone got the hell out of his way, and he went on. They all typically stop for lights here, except cops, who only stop if they feel like it.
@SarraPiyopiyo interesting, haven't seen something similar over here. When they are stuck in traffic in front of an intersection, they normally force the cars to the side (if needed also onto the sidewalk), over the red light into the intersection, or they go into the oncoming traffic lane. But as far as I know they never turned siren and lights off and wait until traffic flows again
@EnjoyFirefighting I think it depends. It was certainly for public safety that they stopped. The ambulance couldn't see the intersection... And the cars behind me had nowhere to go but onto the sidewalk, or through the intersection. The light changed after about 20 seconds anyway, so they didn't wait long.
@EnjoyFirefighting who ever said that emergency personal turn of their lights and sirens and wait for traffic to start moving again is a liar, if there is a medical emergency or a fire you don't have time to sit and wait, every second counts
@SarraPiyopiyo Where I live we have a nasty intersection at HWY 50 and I-94. Sometimes cars will be 4 or 5 deep in all four lanes during rush hour and I'll turn off my lights and siren in the ambulance when I approach the intersection. Motorists try and do the right thing by moving out of the way, but accidents can happen when they move out of the way into traffic. Better to wait the 45 seconds for the light to change then to have some innocent driver injured.
Check out the books you find on the Wuala link in the description of my films. They were written in the 1930s but still give an idea how Germany "works".
For an example of torture using modern techniques check out my english film about the Anneliese Michel "exorcism" case. For brainwashing and steering techniques used against defendants in court look at my 2 films about Ulrike Meinhof and Jan-Carl Raspe.
if the tender driver hit a car & killed someone while breaking a red light then he is at fault not the motorist, just cause ur on lights & sirens does not mean u can drive like a idiot
@ZealotsACH That is not the case, the law in WI clearly states that we must drive with Due Regard, and that our lights and siren are only "requesting the right of way". Yes a motorist can be ticketed if they blatantly disregard an emergency vehicle, but ultimately it will be a jury that decides that the code-3 response was indeed, in fact, necessary to prevent the loss of life and property. I've taught EVOC a long time and I've always taught it doesn't do us any good if we don't arrive...
@dsfryda Same here. Asking for the Right Of Way...but it never made sense if your asking for it yet the person can still get a ticket. I say, lifes are in danger, you better pay attention when driving, and let those men and women pass.
Woman on cell phone: "........what...what you say.....I can't hear you, theres this loud siren and honking noise getting louder. Hang up and text me,k ?.....OH SH!T"
What an idiot, how stupid can you be to not hear and see that big of a truck coming, and blowing a loud ass airhorn too, and no in reply to the comment below, i dont really think an accident would have been the fire departments fault, after all they are on an emergency run, in my state anyway a driver has a legal obgliation to pull over for emergency vehicles on a code run like this, now this is in Wisconsin so it may be different there, but probably not
had a call the other week, my driver came to a stop with a car in the middle of a 4 way stop sign. she from and stopped in the middle of the intersection. when i wailed on the air horn, she had a dumbfounded look on her face, looked at me (officer seat), and threw a single arm in the air because the other was firmly fixed to her ear, cell phone in hand...pay attention, people!
moron in the red jeep, ur supposed to STOP IF YOU HEAR FIRE TRUCK, AMBULANCE, OR POLICE VEHICAL AND PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LET THEM BY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (idiot)
I once saw that happen to a cop. He was responding quickly down a parkway, doing maybe 75 in a 55, and some jackwad blew right into the intersection smack dab in front of the responding unit. The officer had to swerve up onto the raised grassy median, and fortunately he recovered and continued on his way.
@Jhosh1540 siren and red lights...means you stop not us....i already had a situation like this...we were going to an MVA and some idiot tried to cut us off....
Maybe you should try stopping at intersections. Just because you have lights and sirens doesnt mean you can blow intersections without stopping first. A driver at my company would suspended in a heartbeat for that
@fire73rescue over here in Europe we normally slow down at red lights (or when there's no lights at all), but we don't have to stop. Actually we can also go over red traffic lights without slowing down that much.
dumb person everyone else stopped cause they could hear the sirens and im pretty sure u could hear them 2 so stop they r trying to save lives they r not going to the movies whats wrong with u?!
@MegaTitans101 Deaf people have driver licenses. Usually they compensate for thearing impairment and do well with emergency vehicles.
Also there are morons who make themselves "deaf" playing loud music.
When you see traffic stopped for a GREEN signal, if you have an IQ above your vehicle's Octane Rating, you might consider an emergency vehicle may be approaching.
Ok, reading the comments below i see two sides: some say Emergency Vehicles dont need to stop, some say you do. Both are right. I'm a firefighter/AEMT-I in New York, now, according to New York Law ALL EV's MUST STOP at red lights/stop signs and proceed w/ due regard. BUT this law varies state to state, so, depending on what state this occured in the firefighters may be at fault, but the driver of the red car should have also seen him coming.
Do you actually have to stop?? In Canada I'm pretty sure they just have to proceed with extreme caution and can't go further unless safe to do so. AKA yield
@squallz13 If I can see that everyonelse hastopped, I do not stop.
Stopping increases response time and wastes everyonelse's time and fuel waiting for me to get out of their way.
Also, I use more fuel starting up from a stop, so more pollution and more vehicle wear and tear. Brakes often get hot in emergent runs!
When vehicles obstruct view of the lane behind them, I must slow enough that I can stop without hitting someone proceeding through their green signal. Snow makes it more fun!
@squallz13 In New York, you have to stop at all red lights, not until the light turns green, but until all vehicals yeild the right of way to you and it's saft to proceed.
Reading the comments below shows that some people have no idea what the meaning of an EV is.... they have to get to EMERGENCIES as Quickly and as Safely as possible but with dicks like that on the road its hard.... secondly, EV's do not have to come to a complete stop at a red light if they are on an emergency run because then it would be completely pointless even having lights and sirens... they may aswell be normal civvie vehicles
Mswincredible I couldn't agree more!!! And he didn't blow the air horn as a warning to let people know he was coming. The siren alone dosent do the trick and the air horn should announce your arrival. Someone is sitting in the back of the truck for real
@Phareal99 are you serious? the Q siren is a 200 watt siren, that's twice the power of any ambulance or police car siren and you think them using a lower wattage air horn is the answer? The answer is for drivers to get their heads out of their @sses, turn the fu$%ing stereo down and pay attention to the road like you're supposed to when driving, or did you get your drivers license online?
Alot of you seem to think it was ok to blow the light. NFPA certified driver/operators would know that you must come to a complete stop at a red light intersection. I bet someone in that department is no longer driving fire trucks.
Big red truck, loud ass siren, really loud siren, bright flashing lights, A bunch of cars stopped at a GREEN light.... what part of that doesnt scream to you GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!!!! were trying to save lives, why do you force us to nearly take them
@thaaxe Some morons don't understand what we're doing, unbelievable. Happens all the time here when people do not move out of our way while responding.
@robertgift Oh really? Let me educate you on the law. Register owner of the vehicle is not responsible for the action of the driver. Being that register owner might or might not be the driver, police officer need to witness the violation and pull over the vehicle in order to issue a ticket. Video of the vehicle is not enough to issue a ticket. So no that dash cam is not going to be use to issue a ticket. Sorry to disappoint you.
@robertgift Everything you said is correct. My vehicle is register on corp name. The register owner is the corp and not me. I can easily sent my lawyer to represent the corp and the ticket will dismissed.
@robertgift Well no i would not cost legal fees to my corp as initially i can do it by mail. In my state you can fight tickets by mail for free. It's very unlikely I can be id through corp. We have fought red light cameras ticket and they all been dismissed.
@robertgift It's just a letter. Corp can't be driving as it's not a real person. Yet in eyes of the court it's a person. So basically if ticket is issue on the corp it's easy to say it wasn't the one driving as it do not have a driver license.
I know I have the right of way when I'm responding but I'm always ready to stop even at a green light. People do strange things when they panic, and that siren makes a lot of people panic.
Emergency Vehicles have the Right of Way and you can be ticketed for failing to Yield to them. people need to use their mirrors, get off the cell phone, and turn down their music.
@Dthorn912 actually, they ask for others to yield. they dont get the right of way. its a common misconception. Im taking a patient transport class and we talk about "rules of the road" when it comes to emergency vehicles and/or ambulences.
Pause this video at 0:07 and you will see that this driver/engineer went through a red light. The light in the opposite direction is green. It is probably safe to say that most departments SOP's and most state laws state that an emergency vehicle must come to a complete stop at a RED light prior to entering the intersection and then only proceed with caution when the driver knows it is safe a clear to proceed regardless, running lights and sirens or not.
Man you know what gets me some of these people type these comments about the law and you know what we ani't trying to read all of dat, just pull over and let the dam emergencey vehicle pass people these days act like it takes so much of their time lord just pull over its not that hard.
@pastorgeorgem You r wright any U.S. postal vehicle has right of way no matter what. the test i took had this as the next ? witch vehicle has right of way after the postal vehicle
A: Police Car B: Fire Truck C: Ambulance D: All of the above
Reply with a answer and ill tell you if its right r not
@pastorgeorgem Thats right b/c a medical emergency is top priority. I drive a madison count fire engine and i had this happen to me to day going on a car fire i got the engine slowed down just to miss the back bumper of a mustang that ran the red light my capton was mad ass he**

As you proceed with your GREEN signal, are you expecting another vehicle (matters not how big) to suddenly appear?
At a blind intersection, you won't notice it until it is entering the intersection.
The fire truck driver must be ready for that.
Even good drivers may not detect the siren early enough.

@MegaTitans101 Deaf individuals usually do a very well at compensating for thearing difficulty.
This may have been someone on their cell phone or making themselves "deaf" with stereo blasting witheater blowing.

Ok, reading the comments below i see two sides: some say Emergency Vehicles dont need to stop, some say you do. Both are right. I'm a firefighter/AEMT-I in New York, now, according to New York Law ALL EV's MUST STOP at red lights/stop signs and proceed w/ due regard. BUT this law varies state to state, so, depending on what state this occured in the firefighters may be at fault, but the driver of the red car should have also seen him coming.

Do you actually have to stop?? In Canada I'm pretty sure they just have to proceed with extreme caution and can't go further unless safe to do so. AKA yield
squallz13 1 year ago
@squallz13 If I can see that everyonelse hastopped, I do not stop.
Stopping increases response time and wastes everyonelse's time and fuel waiting for me to get out of their way.
Also, I use more fuel starting up from a stop, so more pollution and more vehicle wear and tear. Brakes often get hot in emergent runs!
When vehicles obstruct view of the lane behind them, I must slow enough that I can stop without hitting someone proceeding through their green signal. Snow makes it more fun!
robertgift 1 year ago
@squallz13 In New York, you have to stop at all red lights, not until the light turns green, but until all vehicals yeild the right of way to you and it's saft to proceed.

@ thaaxe...Easy there firefighter. Be the professional. Citizens don't do this on purpose.

The EV driver didnt even slow down in preperation for the intersection...good thing BOTH parties were paying enough attention.
danielglowe 1 year ago
Reading the comments below shows that some people have no idea what the meaning of an EV is.... they have to get to EMERGENCIES as Quickly and as Safely as possible but with dicks like that on the road its hard.... secondly, EV's do not have to come to a complete stop at a red light if they are on an emergency run because then it would be completely pointless even having lights and sirens... they may aswell be normal civvie vehicles

Mswincredible I couldn't agree more!!! And he didn't blow the air horn as a warning to let people know he was coming. The siren alone dosent do the trick and the air horn should announce your arrival. Someone is sitting in the back of the truck for real

@Phareal99 Ummmmm, yes he does, if you listen at the very start of the video, he is using the air horn from 0:01 until the car stops.
yuriilev 1 year ago
@Phareal99 are you serious? the Q siren is a 200 watt siren, that's twice the power of any ambulance or police car siren and you think them using a lower wattage air horn is the answer? The answer is for drivers to get their heads out of their @sses, turn the fu$%ing stereo down and pay attention to the road like you're supposed to when driving, or did you get your drivers license online?

Alot of you seem to think it was ok to blow the light. NFPA certified driver/operators would know that you must come to a complete stop at a red light intersection. I bet someone in that department is no longer driving fire trucks.

robertgift 1 year ago
@robertgift Oh really? Let me educate you on the law. Register owner of the vehicle is not responsible for the action of the driver. Being that register owner might or might not be the driver, police officer need to witness the violation and pull over the vehicle in order to issue a ticket. Video of the vehicle is not enough to issue a ticket. So no that dash cam is not going to be use to issue a ticket. Sorry to disappoint you.
001looker 1 year ago
@001looker Correct. Must ID the DRIVER of the vehicle in violation.
Sign a complaint. PD delivers citation to the Registered Owner.
RO goes to court to prove under oathat he is NOT the driver.
Owner may, but need not, ID the driver.
PD has followed us and pulled over idiots.
Big fine and 4 points, or more if egregious, plus Victim's Assistance and court costs.
All because moron did not yield a few seconds of his/her precious time to help someone in need - such as a choking baby.
robertgift 1 year ago
@robertgift Everything you said is correct. My vehicle is register on corp name. The register owner is the corp and not me. I can easily sent my lawyer to represent the corp and the ticket will dismissed.
001looker 1 year ago
@001looker Hahahaha. You'd cause your "corp" far more money in legal fees than the citation?
Hahahaha.
And you still may be identified and get your four or more points.
But then you can always have your chauffeur drive you.
robertgift 1 year ago
@robertgift Well no i would not cost legal fees to my corp as initially i can do it by mail. In my state you can fight tickets by mail for free. It's very unlikely I can be id through corp. We have fought red light cameras ticket and they all been dismissed.
001looker 1 year ago
@001looker You'd rather waste the court's time and effort?
You'd rather waste far more time fighting citations than losing the few seconds yielding to EVs, or 50 seconds to red signals?
Haha. What fools.
What is your "corp"?
robertgift 1 year ago
@robertgift It's just a letter. Corp can't be driving as it's not a real person. Yet in eyes of the court it's a person. So basically if ticket is issue on the corp it's easy to say it wasn't the one driving as it do not have a driver license.
001looker 1 year ago
@001looker Hahaha
Why waste court's time?
Why waste corp's time?
Why afraid to name the corp?
Are you faking bad English?
robertgift 1 year ago
@robertgift Why wasted court's time? Ask the officer that sign off on the ticket.
@Why waste the corp's time? Not really wasting its time as corp technically is not a real person.
As for not having the corp, it means no longer anonymity on the youtube which means i can't say what I want to say.
Regarding my english, i do not proof read what i write on the internet.

Emergency Vehicles have the Right of Way and you can be ticketed for failing to Yield to them. people need to use their mirrors, get off the cell phone, and turn down their music.

@Dthorn912 actually, they ask for others to yield. they dont get the right of way. its a common misconception. Im taking a patient transport class and we talk about "rules of the road" when it comes to emergency vehicles and/or ambulences.

Pause this video at 0:07 and you will see that this driver/engineer went through a red light. The light in the opposite direction is green. It is probably safe to say that most departments SOP's and most state laws state that an emergency vehicle must come to a complete stop at a RED light prior to entering the intersection and then only proceed with caution when the driver knows it is safe a clear to proceed regardless, running lights and sirens or not.
