108 Engine to a Confirmed Fire

[25Yankeesfan]

is there a rule against a q at night in ur town? i think there is one where i am

[docman789]

im sry if ur house was on fire or etc u would want those sirens on to get there asap, a little lost sleep is better then a lost life in my book! :-)

[rangerman375]

Guess I don't get where you weren't responding quickly. City driving with tons of cross streets.... at night. Especially with the road you had to take for the first half of the response?  I say keep up the good work.

[PauletteVFD671]

Really good quick response!

[jasonbsa]

it sounds like the ambulances here in nyc.

[1982fireguy]

if u dont run sirens at night and get hit well point blank your dept is screwed cuz youll automaticallay be at fault if your running the siren and get into a wreck you will be much better off

[108engineboss]

finally someone that understand the liability

[weathermanfsu]

Why the sirens? Looks like middle of the night, no cars out......

[1417firefighter]

@weathermanfsu in most states there is a law: if u dont have all ur warning devices on while responding and u get into a wreck ur at fault. so do the rite thing and use ur warning devices and let the other ppl pay for ur legal rites. and plus mayb they like to let ppl know their coming...nothing wrong with that :D

[CTFD13]

you guys really like the "third due, first on scene" thing... course, who doesnt love beating the first due and second due units, lol.

[108engineboss]

We have alot of pride when it comes to stuff like that

[shawley93]

@108engineboss who doesnt. my company absolutely loves being first on scene when we are the 2nd or 3rd due company to a call.

[Eng109Dr]

That was a cold night.

[lilcheif1133]

hey, why dont you guys go fast there if its a confermed woring fire?? no matter what we go fast in latrobe pa in westmoreland county

[108engineboss]

We dont like to drive fast for safety reasons. Under certain circumstances you go faster.

[firedude201234]

@108engineboss

if it was "confirmed working fire WITH ENTRAPMENT" then yes HIT THE FUCKING GAS !!!

otherwise be safe

[108engineboss]

I agree with that, it will be burning when you get there. If you fly to a fire and you hit a car or a person you just put yourself out of service and you are no good to anyone

[granvilledrummer]

if you drive crazy fast and crash on the way, other units will have to help you instead of hitting the fire

[gfd4550]

@lilcheif1133 that is probably the dumbest thinf ive ever heard "going fast" puts sooo many lives in danger and ur own crew and telling someone to go fast is ignorant

[PauletteVFD671]

@gfd4550 if thats the way you feel your in the wong profession!

[1417firefighter]

@lilcheif1133 then i got one thing to say to u before it happens....R.I.P brother

[lilcheif1133]

@1417firefighter well not anymore lol it's a new law here lol plus we run out of the city alot with 114 71 and 41 sometimes with 73 and 39

[rykember11]

Great vid, and that is a PA 300 siren right?

[108engineboss]

Yes it is but now we have a powercall

[captivemrhanky]

Great response!

[fanoseagrave]

You got to take some video of your ladder sometime. That's one gorgeous rig!!

[108engineboss]

We have to buy a second camera and tripod for that to happen. We are getting prepared for it though. We just installed dual air horn cords instead of having just one so that way its easier to hit the air horns and so that your arm wont be in the way of the camera.

[108engineboss]

Ya lol we all still laugh when we here that. You couldnt see anything in the camera but the house was well off. There are some pics on the company video of it

[jsnasselin]

Where's the house? LOL Maybe reflectors would be a good idea for all fire hydrants?

[108engineboss]

You gotta mold everyones mind to like stuff, we had to mold minds to get people to turn on the camcorder and the electric siren.

[108engineboss]

He accidentally hit it a few times while trying to get on his gear. I think im going to remix this video and put some pics of the fire on here.

[MetalSanke]

I suppose their wasen't much need for the Q at that time of night.

[shrek108]

Ahhh. i would love to get a powercall on this. You got to love the lighting on the engine. And what I love the most, Third Due First On Scene!!!!

[MetalSanke]

talk to your cheif or captain about that powercall.

[108engineboss]

That sounds awesome

[108engineboss]

Maybe one day we will get a powercall, i would love to put something on our truck besides just a Q

[MetalSanke]

Look up the Powercall DX5 on google

[Kopihucky]

"something on our truck besides just a Q" That is blasphemy!

[108engineboss]

Ya we dug it out of the closet and put it on there.

[MetalSanke]

Maybe you might consider getting a powercall.

[108engineboss]

I just thought i would throw that in there

[MetalSanke]

ah, no worries. The pa 300 is pretty old though.

[108engineboss]

I looked at it and it said Federal Signal Corporation model pa300. We also have a federal Q.

[MetalSanke]

well, the Q was obious.

[MetalSanke]

what siren model you guys use?
