Dude..sirens are on emergency vehicles for a reason...go take your speech somewhere else about saving fuel and the the earth and whatever the hell your saying...u complain all the time..if you dont like sirens then petition against them, your wont get anywhere, but if it satisfies you..do it
Haha robert, you and the silence is better. This is the most silent code run ive ever really seen, seeing that protocol here states siren must be on with lights while moving.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yes, you have a good point, moo.
Glad if their protocal allows crew discretion.
At a major intersection, 2 lefturn lanes, 3 through-lanes, 800' long raised median, vehicles backed up 300', I remained silent and allowed left turns go.
With siren, they would have stopped and we could not have progressed to the intersection and gone straight.
So, I did not impede their movement, made good progress, got out of everyone's way and caused the least disruption to straightraffic.
Robert, you seem to have a personal crusade against any siren use. It seems as though you are going around to every video where sirens are used in any circumstance and complaining.
Obviously no one is agreeing with your long drawn out monotonous comments on every video because consistently you get thumbs down. Oh well, maybe you need something to occupy your time with.
Like the guy who blares his siren so that traffic ahead pulls over and stops.
He is turning right before he even gets to that traffic. Why cause them to wear brakes, waste fuel used to create momentum, then more gas and more pollution accelerating again?
Here this guy has right-of way, anyway. Why the horn at all?
until you come to my state, change the law, and watch people not move at all, then i might even think about listening to all this needless babble about how your mr. right and yet you have no proof to back up your claims whatsoever. your not changing anything, your just babbling on.
ive already sent you multiple links on the subject, and feel free to call up the state, ask, call up any department, ask. Feel completely free to find out exactly what our law says. you state all these "instances" that you didnt use a siren and they moved. I can tell ya, ive used a siren many many times and had many of these same instances, and guess what, THEY MOVED!!! People hear sirens and they become more alert. Plus they know that your still going mobile if your stopped clearing cars.
Ok next time you need EMS you tell the dispatcher to tell the EMTs responding to not use there siren, then when EMS finally gets there you'll change your mind about the sirens we use. Sirens are meant to get to the patient faster and widen the chance of their survival. You'r probably one of the assholes that doesn't pull over when you hear the sirens anyways and If you do, don't ever come to NC cause if you don't pull over for me I call in your tag.
In Georgia, if you respond without the siren and hit someone even if it is their fault, it is YO ASS.

At beginning, why honk when no one can be in your way?
Nice to be silent when siren is not needed!

You're right - this is the most quiet run I've seen.
But why honk athatraffic which cannot possibly be in the way? EMS is turning right.
Are they quiet because this is a psych case and they are staging until police say to come in?
robertgift 2 years ago
why rush to sit around and stage? i think your right.

I am conveying the complaints of SO MANY citizens who are sick and tired of hearing sirens.
I point out where sirens are needlessly sounded, needlessly disturbing the public and making EMS look like clowns.
When I taught safety classes for my fire department, people would often confront: "Why is the siren on when no one is around?"
YouTube has so many examples where the siren is unneeded.
This video is a refreshing change.
(There was no need for that short honk at the beginning.)

Who cares what morons vote?
The issue is not me.
It is annoying others needlessly.
It is impeding traffic needlessly.
Like the guy who blares his siren so that traffic ahead pulls over and stops.

I've worked in CA, PA, MI, CO and have observed in a lot more.
Drivers are much the same everywhere.
I bet your "law" does not require siren.
The smarter states do not.
We make the same runs mostly quietly where others needlessly distrub the peace and annoy the public.
The public becomes tired of and "jaded" to the non-stop sirens and does not react.

@emtblack-IQ26 I blare the siren as little as possible - only as needed. Just like here.
Even athe beginning I would not sound airhorn because he was turning right. Righturns have right-of-way anyway over lefturns.
Police have followed me and have cited drivers, mostly Mexicans, who did not pull over.
By coordinating our lights, I made themuch moreffective. Drivers pull over without our needing the siren. Residents appreciate it.
