Frostburg is North from our station not South... I get it you were using those great MapQuest directions that everyone else is using to make up the box cards. See I told you that you would get lost following those directions...
LOL..I was just about to make a comment.......sirens in the dead of night and no traffic?..DAMN...YIKES...damned deer do NOT yield. We have the same problem here..lol..damned bambi & turkeys......Good video by the way....
That is one of the reasons why to use the siren at night. We did not have all of the sirens blowing at that time. The hope is that the Q scares the animals into running away or running across the road early, before we get there. We also have the state laws here, that say you have the lights on, the sirens have to be on to be considered an emergency vehicle.
Ah for sure, we have similar laws here as well. But we`re so far in the boonies, at night we seldom even "light them up" unless in some form of traffic. (EMS, not fire apparatus) After 6 or 8 Priority 1 responses a shift, they get old after a while....lol....Yeah, we have our share of Bambi issues and like I was aying, turkey`s are a major pain for us. Nothing like hitting 25 lbs of bird at 70 MPH right in the windshield....That`ll wake ya up at 4 AM..lol..
@MIoldtimer im not a firefighter but mew and my brother were getting ready to go across a bridge and 40lb turkey hit my side of the windshield i all tried to dodge it like it woulda helped, good thing toyota makes good windshields..hope i can get on at my Volunteer dpt. im 19 and need some excitement i've already saved 3 lives in my life.
irons22man, this is too funny. I was telling my partner about this video lastnight was we were moving from one station to another.......then.....BAM......out of nowhere, 3 Bambi`s ran out in front of us. I damn near hit 2 of them. It wasn`t a priority run, just driving down the road in the newest truck we have..........lol......Doug said, "maybe you sholda had the siren on"....smartass...
irons, since my initial post those 8 months ago, I have hit 3 damn deer with an ambulance....lol....not one during a priority one response though....thank goodness..lol..
And after you passed, averybody was awake!
