Marion Ladder 2 Responding To A Fully Involved Trailer Fire

[alexandermakrianis]

Disregard my last question, it was answered at the end of the video.

[alexandermakrianis]

Was that ambulance in front of you going to the same call?

[lilcheif1133]

i miss the pull down chain. before my mine and my dad's company refurbished the engine in 1992 they took it out and replaced it with a button on the dash on the officers side and the horn for the driver. itssssss a s

[SmittyTuck]

Gotta agree with Futureff2, but good video! keep'em coming

[armadaskis720]

now THAT is how you fucking use the Q/air horn

[futureff2]

@armadaskis720 - uhhh, actually, it's NOT... the Q is supposed to go UP AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN; why do you think FEDERAL SIGNAL programmed the eQ2b to cycle up and down continuously, not be held at one pitch/tone/volume level? not to mention, an air horn ISN'T meant to be held the entire run, it's an EXTRA attention getter when you need it, such as clearing an intersection or if someone looks like they're gonna pull out in front of you... at least some FDs have GOOD driver training

[ffjsb]

@futureff2 You're correct, the mechanical Q has a motor that pulls a lot of power when you run it continuously, so you're putting a lot of stress on the electrical system and the motor. Best used for intersections and heavy traffic, but never stand on the button.

Very COOL

[CFDPaul]

u guys were hauling ass!!!!!!!!!thats what i like

1:35,Marion Ladder 2 on scene responding fully engulfed trailer fire

[skatingpyro462]

Love the dual Q's

[msd131]

man lay off the horn already.....if noone in that town hears that loud blastin Q, they sure as hell arent going to hear the horn........probably cant hear the horn very well over the Q any how.

[TheOTTO2732]

How Long did it take too put it out???

[cretinbob]

That's a working fire for sure.

[kawasakikx250ff]

the looks of that trailer is pretty bad

[theatomicfart1001]

Y Is he usin two qs

[HawkeyeTheGunslinger]

I ♥ the eQ-2b

[bg1379]

Was all that airhorn really necessary given that there was an ambulance right in front of you (going deaf)?

[ellisfd4821son]

yall volunteer?

[ericelche]

excelente video. me encanta ese Horn tan fuerte y esa sirena e ataque aereo. explenidas. el maquinista un muy bien chofer.

[BakupAlarmIsPow3rcal]

were bouts r u located

[brettfirefighter129]

we are about 45 minutes from Bristol..If you are familiar with Bristol Motor Speedway

[ELFCff]

wat is the point of dual Qs

[brettfirefighter129]

Well the other is an eQ-2b, It was just the first siren the driver came too. No reason just happend to swich to that siren.

[SeagraveRules]

Holy heck a real Q and an eQ-2b simultaneously????

[Gman027]

definitely not needed

[CHINKZRTHECOOLEST]

@Gman027 but fun dont forget that.

[futureff2]

@Gman027 - just think, all that ridiculous noise for an abandoned trailer... not to mention, the purpose of the Q is to FLUCTUATE through different pitches, not to be held out continuously at one volume level... i'd hate to be the alternator on that rig! it's a wonder they didn't lose the friggin' power for the lights, or air for the brakes

[94exporlerboy]

feels like i am in the truck with yall love the vids keepum comeing!!!

[lilfireman2600]

i like the short bus at 1:02 lol

[ellisfd4821son]

[brettfirefighter129]

Yeah, some how the probie got put up front and when he saw the fire he got a little excited.

[futureff2]

@brettfirefighter129 - probie, volunteer captain of a department that runs 100 calls a year, SAME THING

[quispamsisst2]

Nice video. Awesome mix sirens. Too bad you couldnt of let the tape rolled so we could of seen the fire a little more.

[brettfirefighter129]

Thanks, And Yeah I know I got a little excited due to all the exposures around the trailer and turned it off. But now I have it mounted on the dash on a camera mount
