Federal model 5 siren,station 21 fire engines response 12-24-08

[mancavene]

A few words.......Focus the camera dude.

[fmartinjr]

@mancavene A few more words.....the camera is not a manual focus camera in record mode.You,myself and everone else that has viewed this can see that its not in focus.But thanks for leaving a comment. Matter of fact,check it,I have a camera that is designed for video shooting.The focus is on point and clarity is nice. -fmj

[4106650464]

oh now i saw it thanks fmartinjr thats alot of smoke:p

[fmartinjr]

@4106650464 Thank you for viewing.For that far down the highway it was a lot of smoke. 

[4106650464]

where was the smoke you saw

[fmartinjr]

@4106650464 As I was looking down the highway,there is an overhead sign by the fire station suspended by cables,just below it is a column of smoke,which is about 3 1/2 to 4 miles away from this fire station.

[kurtdog119]

@fmartinjr

I know what the first sign of any fire is, and it's the thick black header, which can be seen for about 4-5 miles away from the area you are in.

[kurtdog119]

@fmartinjr

I betcha I know what your pager is! I bet your pager is the Motorola Minitor II! The Motorola Minitor II is the most commonly used pager in the American fire service today, and because of pagers, most towns are phasing out fire sirens.

[kurtdog119]

@fmartinjr

I have your exact town located in my mind. You are in Mill Creek, because only Mill Creek would be the company you recorded!  I've got a good hand for videos, and the videos I make are emergency vehicle responses.

[kurtdog119]

@fmartinjr

This was made almost 4 years ago on Christmas Eve.

[steven200312]

Its no wonder so many american FF dies in the line of duty.

[fmartinjr]

@steven200312 ....Say wha? Now what are you talking about? What is no wonder so many American fire fighters die in the line of duty? No fire fighter died or almost died here.You're being weird again.

[steven200312]

for example"21,fire"



[fmartinjr]

@steven200312 Seriously?? Over a year ago you fisrt wrote about this,and out of nowhere you add a 6 word comment referring to that same situation from over a year ago? That's weird homie.But, whatever.And whats ever more weird is nobody else had a problem understanding the basic-ness of the title but you! Another guy even explained it you! I guess you just want attention?

[steven200312]

Try using some punctuation! like a (,)

[fmartinjr]

@steven200312 Who me?



[51397fireman]

Ok so I dont know if this only happens to me but I love the sound of a Q but whenever im walking down the street and I here a fire truck blasting its Q and air horns I automaticly go into an adreline rush and close me ears and I want to record those trucks but im sitting on the street covering my ears in an adriline rush can someone please tell me what I should do. Please respond

[fmartinjr]

@51397fireman You'll be alright young fella.I remember being scared of fire engines back in the early 70's when I was a young lad.The thing that you have to do is,get used to them.Even though its loud,just take it.Watch video clips on here and turn it up loud and pretend you're the officer in the truck blowing the sirens and horns.

[DFrnkln06]

I love hearning the federals on fire engines

[SKATERBOYKOKO]

they use these in northern mt

[steven200312]

Why did 21 Fire engines respond? we respond with 3 to a person's reported in Scotland.

[fmartinjr]

@steven200312 Do what??? I said nothing about 21 fire engines.Carefully(Care Fully) read the title.Station 21 fire engines,it does not say 21 fire engines.And what is "a person's reported in Scotland"?

[225gtaivlcpd]

@steven200312 He said STATION 21 fire engines responding, meaning the engines of STATION 21 responded.

[fmartinjr]

@225gtaivlcpd Thank you for the clarification for that "steven200312".Even tghough I think it was an honest mistake,people need to fully read before they comment.He meant no harm but the one's that do,get Youtube wars going because they don't know how to read.Thanks,Martin from Delaware.

[Cecfire0123]

Why didn't you respond?

[fmartinjr]

@Cecfire0123 ,busy Christmas shopping.

[fmartinjr]

@Cecfire0123 ,busy Christmas shopping.

[rcovey2004]

how far are you from the siren?

[fmartinjr]

I'm 2 miles from here.

[51397fireman]

@fmartinjr finally i got over my fear of sirens!!!!!!! now i can actually record the trucks!

[Wonkawillie77]

With exception of some minor focusing issues this was a very good vid. Instead of some dumb music you had the fire radio synced with the vid....great job.

[fmartinjr]

Yes,thank you.I don't know what I had hit but the auto-focus was funky for a while. And I know what you mean, because can't stand music in response videos.

[jseabo77]

this wasn't your station was it because i was wondering why you didnt respond

[colchesterfd328]

hey, i think the engine that responded from the station was an E-one, not a seagrave.

[fmartinjr]

Two e-one's and a Seagrave responded from this fire station

[defender195]

great vid dude! but if i wer u i wudda got in my car n followed the engines from ur house 2 the fire cuz it seems like it wuz pretty big!

[occdude01]

[twinboysfire52]

[Eng3CFD]

Man, this has got to be one of your BEST videos ever! You always seem to be in the right spot at the right time to capture these awesome videos! Happy Holidays to you.

[fmartinjr]

No When I was first filming with the loud model blasting,with that wonderful echo effect going on,Mill Creek's Quint was pulling out.The only thing left in their main station was the 1972 out of service Seagrave.If that would've responding I would be no good.I would 've ran down the highway to keep recording that baby

[4whelrkd23]
