hubdub or whoever you are... the Rookie you refer to is a 30 year veteran Philadelphia Firefighter, Retired as an acting battalion chief.... So if you have any clue what that means then you will tuck your tail between your legs and never comment on a video like that ever again. For those who ask, Its Elkins Park, PA (Montgomery Co.) we border the not so nice areas of the city of brotherly love (Philly), It is a Powercall Sirens model DX5, the EQ2B does have a foot switch on the officer side

I like the pulleys guys! Don't see that anymore, it's either next to the Q2b or on steering wheel.

I am not at all a fan of the EQ2b, I prefer the Q2b. But, it doesn't sound bad being used with the Powercall, not bad at all. :>)

Oh, is the EQ2b on a switch on the floorboard? It never stays at a constant wail, and, I've seen some depts. do that, to get that authentic Q sound.

'ffemtkeith'...this is great stuff and I hope to see more!!! Hope your new Pierce serves you well! :>)

Thanks for the feedback....we have the controller as you can see in addition to a foot pedal...We only went with the q2b for financial reason, much cheaper and long term cheaper maitence, Secondary siren such as a powercall is absoultely necessary though

powercall + Q2B = boner

Does it mater what you use clear traffic? My opinion as long as you get there safe and in timely manner its all good.

@northhhigh19 i could not agree more with you on those comments exactly what i thought

[northhigh19]

experience to take one hand off the wheel. 3) Depending on the SOP's and SOG's of the department, the driver may be allowed to wear his helmet and bunkers while he's driving. You aren't anybody to tell him otherwise. 4) You, that's right. You are the fucking wanna be firefighter that goes around critiquing other people when you should really be worrying about your own damn self. You're a disgrace.

[northhigh19]

@hububub46 go fuck yourself. I will address all the things you said are "wrong" in this video. 1) He doens't need to have the siren on the whole time? Actually fuck face, yes he does. It doesn't confuse other drivers, it tells them to get the hell out of the way. Do you honesly think any driver is going to get confused from the siren? Idiot. 2) Who are you to say what the driver does? This driver is an experienced firefighter with that department if he's driving. He has more than enough

that EQ with either those,Hadley or Grover air horns= very modern sound prob one of the best combos of sirens and the Powercall especially on big squads and res qs the town over has a huge truckCO and its got an EQ and grover air horns awesome sound they go on our mutual aid structure assignments they call it Squad 1 idk why but they used to have a 1988 Pierce lance heavy rescue and ther ladder is equipped with rescue stuff we get em rollin with us on Still alarms and sometimes a Box

if hubudub46 is a FF he has to be part of the Wheeling FD, those jokers never use sirens properly. Kinda like FDNY, they just give a toot here and a toot there.
