FDNY 2 Alarm Response

[dgraves7129]

federal q's sound cool, but in NYC they don't do much good. Emergency vehicles are only going to go as far and fast as traffic allows, and in larger cities with heavy traffic, bumping an electronic siren will do as much good as riding a Q, with alot less confusion from echoes and less inate hearing damage from the general public.

Beautiful rigs ones we ride in cali arent as nice

[TheDavey100]

Nice video dude!

[loonlaker67]

I understand why FDNY has the siren they do, but if some of their ladder trucks can have the q, why cant they all? Doesn't really add up to me.

[FDNYresponsechannel]

@loonlaker67 The ones that have a Q are older ones. The newer models arent made with them.

[PNSB101]

The second one had an eq2b but didnt have the federal "F" on the grill of the speaker.

[Zantozzzz]

engine 239 in the engine 220 station?

[25Yankeesfan]

so what do they call it? a crappy electric q

[FDNYresponsechannel]

@25Yankeesfan I believe so

[joek0617]

@FDNYresponsechannel eq2b

[ENG3INEMVFD]

@25Yankeesfan It's an Electronic "Q" also known as the Eq2B.

[TheDonmaster99]

@25Yankeesfan its actually made federal signal, the EQ2B. plus its better than those pa300s

[joek0617]

@joek0617 oops

[25Yankeesfan]

we r both talking about the ladder (TRUCK) rite? cause that is a q

[FDNYresponsechannel]

@25Yankeesfan FDNY isnt allowed to use a Q for the simple fact that the echo from all the buildings can damage peoples ears.

[jazzbutterworth]

@FDNYresponsechannel Check this clip out: "fdny ladder 56 & division 7".

[iSwaggerify]

@25Yankeesfan they have real q's man...

[FDNYresponsechannel]

@iSwaggerify FDNY DOES NOT have Qs. They have EQs. With all the buildings a Q would echo to a point where ear damage is and issue.

[NeverRestOneDayx]

@FDNYresponsechannel You are both right. Certain FDNY apparatus does have a real Q2B siren, while all of the newer pieces of apparatus have the EQ2B. At times you will hear a real Q but not too often because like you said they are "banned" because of the fact they can and have caused hearing damage.

[FDNYresponsechannel]

@NeverRestOneDayx RES4CUE is the ONLY FDNY rig with a Q2B. I dont think its actually in the city though...

[NeverRestOneDayx]

@FDNYresponsechannel Rescue 4 was the only rescue with a real Q but that is no longer now since all of the rescues are now Ferrara's with EQ2Bs. Same with almost all of the engines and truck companies. If the rig has been switched to the new Ferraras or the Seagrave Maurader, then no real Q is present, just an EQ2B. So you might find some reserve apparatus with a real one but the odds are slim.

[captaijimbob101]

@NeverRestOneDayx they still have the e-one saulsbury rescue 4,they rehabed it recently.

[iSwaggerify]

@FDNYresponsechannel Rescue 4..............

[25Yankeesfan]

does anyone else notice that the truck uses the q more then the engine

[FDNYresponsechannel]

@25Yankeesfan Its not a Q

[OfficerNelson]

@Dennisthemenace217 You forgot the "e" before that "q"

[kosiara92]

good job
