  • This should be a on going thing for all fire company's in the world. 1. It save time. 2. It make truck's get there safer. 3. The fire truck driver has less stress from traffic. 4. This keep the trucks from not getting hit buy some bone head not stopping pulling over. 5. The chief can stay behind for a short time to report a problem when a bone head don't stop then having to call more trucks to the call. 6. The cost to replace the chief car is cheaper then a fire truck. Safety first.

  • Great Video. maybe not the smartest or safest but who fuckin cares. Great to know your cheif has your back. Helps raise morale. Made me smile the whole video.

  • @MFD400 I live in a city of about 200,000. Our Fire/ems services the entire city. Sometimes we have to go from one end of the city all the way to the other side. We get great support from pd blocking intersections. But we will usually run two blockers if we have more than two trucks/buses responding. On a normal day shift there are 5pd cars out that give us a lot of help.

  • @gtasalova6969 I can believe that in some spots of the country. Here, I run with a volunteer department and we often have 2 or 3 trucks responding at the same time. People see one truck go through the intersection and then think everything is over. I have never ran blocker, but i cant see its effects. Thankfully we dont have too many intersections and only one light in our town. I approve. I wish the city would do this. But it is not supported in my area.

  • @MFD400 Disagree, this is the smartest and safest way yo get to an emergency. UFD in Union, KY now had 3 dedicated "Blocker" SUV's. I happen to be a driver of one of these SUV's. Our response time has improved greatly, we haven't had a single incident since this position was implemented, and my SUV was a shit ton cheaper than a truck. We now have other surrounding FD's following in our steps.

  • Running tanker, I think this should always be seen ahead of tankers for added safety, they need to get somewhere fast but they can't stop anywhere close to short and they take forever to get back up to speed, so this practice really helps all around to protect people and get the tanker there sooner.

  • I like his D-fense!

  • This is in Jackson, MS.

  • If i could floor the V8 in a crown victoria with lights going like he did, i wouldn't give a damn about what i was doing.

  • The soundtrack makes this video. Was literally smiling the whole way through.

  • @EngulfedSix yeah, before 2008, that's what most of the State Patrol squad cars looked like

  • @chpman2013 right,but you gotta figure this video is 2 or 3 years old
