Buffalo Ladder 6 and Chief Responding

Just after I saw Rescue 1, I fortunately waited around a minute...on a call like this the ladder is sure to show up, and sure enough, about a couple minutes later Ladder 6 is right behind. A Battalion Chief joins the crew from the 198, as the truck heads out of the shot.

Awesome video! Didn;t see the batallion cheif tho.

'twas way at the end, and I regret naming the video such since you'd have to stare very hard. But fortunately Ladder 6 ended up with the spotlight and judging by the comments people loved that.

@sethtriggs You can change the video title.

[sethtriggs]

@jazzbutterworth Upon further reflection the video is accurately titled though. I'll change it sometime when I get around to it, I'm sure. Maybe.

Looks like L6 was driving on the wrong side of the road. What do u think sethtriggs.

[sethtriggs]

Probably, in order to get through the intersection- there was a stopped line of cars at the end hence the truck had to drive around that way. Emergency vehicles do that frequently in New York (and the drivers' manual calls our attention to that too). From where I sit, the ladder's got all warning devices going and has ample airhorn, so everyone should be able to hear him coming.

hell yeah, looks like the air horn is a favorite to a truckie!

@sethtriggs actually in most states at least down here in AZ, emergency vehicles responding to a call going code 3, are allowed to violate traffic laws as long as they don't drive wrecklessly, use discretion when crossing lanes and entering intersections with a red light and so forth, if there is an accident the emergency vehicle is usually not responsible because they always have the right away, and hey what kinda retard runs into an engine. :) lol
