Fatal House Fire Fitzgerald Ave and Cashel St

[Dleef100]

Holy shit, change the siren tone already :L

[EmpireLS56KW]

Weird I swear the roads like a bit like what we have here in Dorset, I mean for a moment I thought this was Bournemouth that was until I noticed the licence plates looked different.

The fire department you have down-under even have the same type SCANIA that Dorset fire department has. I guess that’s why I got a bit confused? Well at least the fire was put out that’s the main point and no injuries.

In America theres a thing called air horns to move traffic... way faster and safer than just sirens... just saying

[G33kNZ]

OMFG, are air horns only in america?

[WFD9]

no i was just saying we use them alot

[MedicAmbo5000]

@G33kNZ no, we have them, people jut dont use them, me i do, i use them coming up to intersections everything,

and thats in the ambulance, im a officer for st john

[MedicAmbo5000]

@G33kNZ no, lol



[fireman257]

True, but lots of trucks have air horns, only fire appliances have sirens.

[Someloke8895]

@WFD9 Yes but in America, the fire crews love to play silly buggers with the sirens.

[harrychown1989]

@WFD9 cos America do everything best eh?

[WFD9]

@harrychown1989 not all all i was just commenting but people dont move over for fire and ems unlike in the rest of the world because in america people are self centered and care only if its about them

[MedicAmbo5000]

@WFD9 people dont listen to them here, trust me, i face that crap every day, the regular horn works better, and the siren together, im on ambo

[codessatexas]

save them

[dmmmac2]

Funny how that cop didnt use his siren when he was at the intersection is it some producure when its a fatal?

[TheFireRescue1]

Yea alrite maybe but still if they had the beacons on you would expect some noise at the intersection

[thekiwicanuck]

Great footage, but pretty sad occasion...

Not so sure about the light package on that ambo, the usual Nautech setup looks way better.

[NZPOLICE1010]

The lightbar looks great when you see it, Look closely it's red and white!!

[thekiwicanuck]

I'd have to see it at night I think...

[NZPOLICE1010]

Yeah it's hard to see but it is. And it looks great.

[TheFireRescue1]

Looks like Rangiora 834

2009 Mercedes sprinter

[ambocam]

Wigram 1

[ambocam]

they went with tomar for the light bars on several trucks as nautech could not keep up with the number of new sprinters being brought into service. the sound awful and the control box is very average to use..... big and bulky

[TheFireRescue1]

Yea on 787 down south at my station we ahve a new sprinter it has a tomar control box but not the clear lights probably made by nautech

[ambocam]

yeah, there seem to be a few that have the tomat box with the red nautech lights. only two that i know of with the clear and red ones like on that truck (wigram 1 and rangiora 1) very very bright at night to the point of being blinding!

[TheFireRescue1]

Yeah they should be able to dim them tho

[ambocam]

they do have a dim switch along with a direction arrow switch... neither of which have been hooked up

[TheFireRescue1]

Thats sucks their both hooked up down here.

[ambodavenz]

4 trucks nationally had tomar lights and controls as a trial. Expect to see nationwide changes when new ambulance electrical specifications are implemented.

[SwattyFireyz]

I agree, it didn't look like much at all. I didn't know it wa a fatal until i got home, I had a feeling it was when i saw the tape across drive

[TheFireRescue1]

The police need to make some noise at that intersection

[thekiwicanuck]

I don't think a few seconds were going to make any difference under those circumstances. I'm surprised they even had their lights on, because it wasn't exactly Priority-1 anymore...
