  • Damn people never move out of the way like that here in NY.

  • @430008

    This was actually a good day. I used to work EMS down along the "Main Line" outside Philly, lots of right people who didn't give a shit, and THAT was a pain in the ass...

  • We should start going to calls with no lights on because I swear to god more people stop and let me pull out of a side street with the lights off than the lights on.

  • 422 looked like a parking lot there for a minute lol

  • Comment removed

  • every time he hits the Q the powercall slows down!!! xD

  • @rescue75squad750

    Yeah, I noticed that on the video too, I think it's just sound distortion or something, because a drop in the voltage would just make the powercall cut out, not slow down. It's not an old GE with the old resistors and everything, so low voltage wouldn't affect it like that...

  • @Rofocowboy84 is this in pennsylvania?

  • @MrDyson01

    Yup, Berks County.

  • my dad was driving this

  • i love how they call the car that pulled in front of them a stupid shithead and dumb bitch hahahaha lol

  • lol 2:30 car goes over the centre

  • i love when your pullin up on a bunch of people and they dont decide to move until the very last second...thats why i pull over before the truck gets near me easier both ways

  • What's with the idiot on the Harley with no helmet, it looks like he's almost intentionally getting in the way. Oh, I forgot: Harley = idiot.

  • @TheBoatbottom

    You're not required to wear a helmet in PA. Also, I think he figured we'd go in the left lane, but ended up having to split the middle, causing him to suddenly be in our way.

  • LOL, 2:27 look how fast they get the fuck out of the way

  • props to the driver, people don't realize it actually takes skill to do this

  • Is this an older truck? Cause that powercall almost dies when you hit the Q lol. If ya listen real close you can hear it change pitch as the Q is ramping up.

  • I really love at 2:40 how the Fire truck totally splits the sea of cars!

  • haha Hi Dad

  • nice clearing at 2:37

  • nice. im more of a q airhorn guy rather than pwercall

  • Power Call+Air+Fan= 100%!!!!!

  • hey checked out the site and what truck you talking about because there is no rescue 2 there unless you talking about the engine/rescue 2

  • @MrJakemoffitt

    Well, first of all, we're Company 25 now, so it would be Rescue 25. HOWEVER, we have a new Rescue 25, because the one in the video was hit at an accident scene a few years ago, and we had to get rid of it. There's other vids of the outside of the old rescue in my videos, if you want to see what it looked like...

  • @Rofocowboy84 my dad was in the accident his name is rick u should no him lol

  • @Rofocowboy84 and my dad was driving this truck in the vid

  • very professional commentary. i'm sure your chief would love it. (sarcasm)

  • they are funny when they got mad the blew the horn on the car in front of them hah ha

  • You can hear the power call siren change tone when the Q is stealing the power from it to wind up.

  • Yeah, it does sound like that, but I'm not sure if that's actually what's happening (electronic sirens don't usually change tone when there's a drop in voltage, as far as I know), or if the Q is just affecting the camera's mic....

  • I thought the wire shadows at 1:30-1:45 were skid marks. I was thinking "Damn they have alot of bumper cars on that road" That was till i saw the poles and wires :D

  • Fucker in the SUV at 3:25 needs to go back to driver ed. Pull the fuck over and slow down or stop when an emergency vehicle is behind you.

  • Most people in this area need to go back to drivers ed....or just not drive.....

  • Comment removed

  • @charster100 You are one of the idiots in the cars that didn't pull over, aren't you?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @DTMRM8 And I would never block an emergency vehicle. I will pull over to the right and stop like you said. So don't assume I am an idiot okay? Yes that person in the SUV is an idiot, you're right about that. But I think you need to get rid of your swearing habit.

    There are plenty of websites that will help you get rid of your swearing habit.

  • @DTMRM8 Please don't call me an idiot. It's very MEAN. I never had an emergency vehicle respond when I was driving but if I do, I will pull over to the right and STOP. I would NEVER I repeat NEVER in my freaking life block a fire truck, ambulance, police car, or ANY OTHER EMERGENCY VEHICLE! I do apologize for the diaper comment, and I do respect the fact that you want to swear since it's a free website. I can't stop you from doing that, and I also apologize.

  • 3:15 to 3:41 wtf why would that lady pull out then pull over stay there till the truck passes god people get crazy when they see emergency vehicles

  • lol u can hear them

    (shit head Fucking ass hole) on the vid

  • nice i like the how some of the cars went on to the curb lol. nice video

  • 2:36,nice angle parking folks

  • 03:41 I'd be tempted to have the Q on full, powercall on, and for an added touch blast the airhorn beside her car for a moment or two while I passed. That would drown out the obscenities that I would likely be screaming at her.

  • Yeah, I made sure to lay on the horns as we passed, that way she would know that it was her being the moron, not the nonexistant cars around her, lol....

  • @Unit430 and @ 03:43 I think he says 'bitch' lol

  • @firekilller13 You're right! lol

  • haha "stupid bitch" love the vidoes! keep em comin!

  • id kill the power call and only use the growler

  • Good for you. I'll keep the Power Call though....

  • Hell if ya kept going u would of passed were i lived. Good ol birdsboro. Or however u spell it.

  • 2:58  Taco Bell! Yum! pit stop.

  • Nice vid!

    cool federal q

    whats with the weird powercall, it doesnt sound right?

  • How doesn't it sound right?

  • Let's just call it a broken car alarm, a air raid alarm having a cold and a truck horn.

  • How about not?

  • It sounds too quick..comparing to other powercalls. Nice video anyway

  • Hey Rofo, I'm not saying anything bad, I enjoy your videos very much...But I agree with Quakkerillo...And I think I know why that is....is that a Powercall Plus by any chance? Cuz some are known to have that fast warble like that....

  • It is that model, but that's just the regular Powercall tone, not the Powercall Plus, which is a whole lot faster.

  • the fire man says "stupid bitch... (laughs) at 3 mins and 43 seconds.... LMFAO!!!!!

  • She should have slowed down and let them go by she was risking her own life right there. She bout took out the bridge right there LOL..

  • LOL... at 2:41 looks like a parking lot at WalMart...

  • The funny thing is, just after the intersection to the right (you can't really see in this vid) is a WalMart, lol...

  • lol it really does hahaha

  • Small world man, I used to live in Mt. Penn. I recognized the Boscovs right away comming out of Exeter. Than I saw Ray's Yamaha. I used to work there. I live in Tennessee now. Just thought that was funny.

  • Why are you responding in the right lane? That's a no-no.

  • What, from like 3:00 on? That's because there were no other cars around us. And our Chief was behind us, not it's not like any cars were going to try to pass...

  • It's a regional thing. Get over it....

  • damn your haul'n

  • I really love the power call siren

  • Few things are more intense then running Code 3! Cheers guys, stay safe

  • was this in an ambulance?

  • No, a rescue truck, a 70's style Mack CF. I'm guessing you're from an area where they call ambulances "Rescues"?

  • Amazed at 2:30, laughed at 3:15. Great video!

  • love how yall "part tha seas"

  • good use of Q, i hate when people just stand on it

  • Dude, give it a rest...Everybody already knows you don't like powercalls.

  • powercall and Q's together is the best dang siren ever

  • some thing dose not sound right with ur Q

  • How so? Sounds fine to me...

  • it dose not sound like it running smoothly

  • People love to say that Q's always sound off, when they have no idea what their talking about.

  • is this in pennsylvania?

  • Yup, just outside Reading in Berks County.

  • ok. just wondering. i live in Lawrence County & 422 runs through there, so. but awsome vid though

  • Ah, okay. I'm thinking that's a different 422 though. I know the one near me goes to Hershey, but then (according to Google Maps) turns into 322 and heads up your way, and then turns back into 422 around you or something. No idea why they named them both the same, lol....

  • well idk if its the same but it runs through indiana and the over your way. like u said, idk if it seperates then comes back or whatever but yea. cool man.

  • Get that Q off the bus! band aid wagons dont deserve it

  • This isn't a bus, it says Rescue 2 in the description. 

    And I'm liking the powercall.

  • Well I thought I replied to this already, but I guess not..

    THIS ISN'T AN AMBULANCE. It's a Rescue, hence the reason it's called RESCUE 2.

    And as far as Q's on ambulances, why don't they deserve it? I'm a full time EMT, and if there's a siren that will get the stupid drivers out of my way quicker, I want it on my ambulance...

  • oooo yea im a full time emt to an i wish i had a q on my rig

  • It's not embarassing, a lot of people like the sound, including me. Just because you don't doesn't mean everyone else has to think the same way. Since you don't have anything good to say, you're blocked...

  • Personally the powercall gets my attention a lot more than any other siren. And don't worry, he does this to most videos contain a clip of a powercall siren. To think that he has nothing better to do in his life between that and sucking on his mom's tit.

    Great video by the way, keep them coming!

  • Well I guess that theory is wrong, because that is a real fire truck, and it has a Powercall, you dipshit...

  • oh lol i see

  • The only time the siren "screamed" was when we were approaching an intersection...

    And we're not a hillbilly FD, btw....

  • why dont you have any vids on like responding to a fire or at the scene of a fire. by the way nie vid

  • There are a few that have fire scene footage, but you're right, they aren't numerous. Most of my vids are for more minor things (ie, things that I don't have to pack up for). With fires, I'm usually more worried about having everything ready by the time we get to the scene.

  • great job on the q!!!!

  • POWERCALL!!!

  • Wow, didn't know "ugly" could be used to describe a sound....but anyway, what don't you like about the sirens? I'm guessing you're talking about the electronic one. It's a tradition thing in the DC/Baltimore/Philly area from back in the '70's or so....

  • wow.. that was like its in a movie cars and all that biker should have moven more >.>

  • These drivers are very good americans, look at them just splitting themselves perfectly at about 2:30, I've never seen anything like that

  • Yeeah, I know, it was weird. People actually did what they were supposed to do, lol....

  • it reminded me of that scene in bruce almighty.

  • Except without the Lamborghini (or was it a Ferrari?), right? lol....

  • it was a saleen s7

  • Ah, okay. I've only seen the movie once, and it was a while ago. But yeah, I was amazed people did what they were supposed to, lol. Thanks for watching my vids!

  • power of god to make everyone move over on command? goddamned put one in every truck!!!

  • wow I wish people would pull onto the center divider for me, but usually its me that ends up jumping the curb to get around people...

  • THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • They use powercalls where i live and they do work...never seen traffic move over so quick.

  • How the fuck does it sound like a backup alarm to you? And what's a "real" fire truck to you, the tonka toy that you have that makes siren sounds? Powercalls work for us, that's why we use them. If you don't like them, I really don't care, so keep your bullshit "opinions" to yourself, k? Once you actually learn something about response driving, then maybe someone will value what you have to say.

  • Here's an idea. Before you start insulting people, maybe you should learn first grade grammar, because maybe then will people actually take what you have to say seriously. If I was your chief, I wouldn't want someone who can't even spell "what" driving my apparatus.

    As far as the Powercall, it's a tradition in the DC/Baltimore/Philly region. I really don't give a fuck if you don't like it. It sounds good to us and it gets people the fuck out of our way.

  • Its grammAr not Er you dumbass.

  • Well if you're too lazy to write correctly, then I don't have to really give a fuck about you, now do I? And FYI, I get paid to drive code in EV's....

  • I'm PMSing? You're the moron who goes onto random people's videos and starts harassing everyone. That's a sign of PMS...I have some Dr. friends who can prescribe you heavy duty prescription-strength Midol, if you want...

  • All the power to ya! I may not know what your talking about, but I'm sidin' with you! Nice vids by the way!

  • First of all take spelling lessons, and if you don't like something then keep it to yourself. Why bother commenting on a video you hate? I think it's a good vid. like all his others.

  • I think someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Maybe going back to school would be a good idea to, cause here in the real world, we don't use AIM talk.

    As for the Powercall, not my favorite siren, but it sure does sound good with a Q.

  • FUCKING AY brother! We just got the powercall for our Rescue Engine. We'll get a run probably and I'll have the cam-corder onboard!

  • Wow... same comment, different video. Can't you be just a little bit original. Take your pansy ass back to the short bus, get in and buckle up, and have the driver take you straight to hell you scumbag piece of shit motherfucker!

    Oh... by the way, Cowboy.... great video.

  • love how the powercall slows down when you hit the Q...great vid

  • Yeah, I don't know if it's just the way the microphone is picking up the sound or what, but it definitely sounds like that. In reality though, it doesn't actually slow it down, so dunno...

  • Nice response video! Love the power call!

  • No, Exeter, right outside Reading.

  • i don't want to be rude or arrogant but this fire truck is pretty slow. If you're working with the amsterdam fire departement in the netherlands you would notice that the average speed of an fire truck is about 60 kmph (downtown) and 130-140 kmph on the highway.

    The maximum speed in amsterdam (downtown)= 50 kmph and on the dutch highways= 100 kmph

  • Well some drivers drive with regard for others. Im not sure of the conversion from kmpg to mph (US) but we don't need to do 95 to get to the fire. It's still gonna be burning when we get there even if we do 60.

  • The camera angle is a little decieving, it was going faster than it looks.  Plus, pretty much every light we hit was red, and American drivers are stupid around emergency vehicles.

  • oowh i didn´t know that but over here in the netherlands drivers are also pretty stupid and idiot. I´m a dutch police officer and when you put your sirens on people won´t mova away imm. because their traffic light is red. And they are afraid that the will be fined by the camera system if they drive through the red light

  • lol "stupid bitch" I drive our engine and I use the word a lot while driving lol

  • haha "fucking shithead" haha im way worse. Ive gotten on the PA once we approach the car and say "red lights and sirens means pull over and slow down, not speed up"

  • LOL

  • "stupid bitch" haha...cool video

  • Sweety they are video, man!

  • Dang, pretty neat. I've been down that road before. We used to have a Hahn rescue with the same exact sirens.

  • One of these days I got to drive up Business 422 up to your place.

  • There's no Seagraves, you wouldn't be interested, lol...I actually need to get up there again soon, it's been too long...

  • I like Mack CF's also, they're classics.

  • Ah, okay. Well, I think I've told you before, but our Rescue was hit by some moron, and we just donated it to another company. Engine 2-2 is the only Mack we have left....

  • Actually you missed me with that message. Sorry to hear that, Rofo. I hope it has a good home and the company can afford to repair it.

  • great vid, thanks!

  • I know exactly where you are at. You're on 422 East starting where the 422 Expressway joins in.

  • Yup, exactly, or Perkiomen Avenue as we call it. I'm guessing you live close then?

  • No I live much closer to Philly, but I have driven through this area often.
