A- go in front of them and clear the road, or

@2007tacoma do you do this for volunteer firefighters that dont run sirens and only blue lights?

@siafulinux well where i live, we are also a fairly large city, no POV responders bc all the fire depts, i think theres about 7 around my city alone with a population of 150k people, but we are also between the top 3 "safest" cities in the US, even though its california, and only an hour from Los Angeles

@2007tacoma That's really cool man. Were I am, we do have good relations with our local city cops, but I've still never heard of nor seen them do what you guys do. Most of the time they, incl. the local Sheriffs department when responding, are racing past us to get on scene before we do. Now if it's something they need to clear I'm happy for it, but just to have that backup WHILE responding would be fantastic. :-)

@siafulinux where im from, a lot of the time our dispatcher does dispatch us to respond to locations fire/ems are responding to, esp at night when half the time all we are doing is pulling traffic stops for possible DUI's or responding to possible prowler's which ha;f the time by the time we get there they are long gone. so most of us on the night shift get along good with fire/ems and happily help them out, either that, or i just follow the fire engine/ambulance responding code when i see them

@2007tacoma Over my scanner I heard a cop pulling someone over for not moving out the way of a fire vehicle... don't believe it was POV though; still, how often do you hear / see that? Thanks for supporting the FD sir!

Do you have your family with you or something?

I think I hear a girl-voice several times in the vid..?

@Hbryant188 To give you and idea, look at the speed the fire truck in Amsterdam is driving with and how fast it crosses intersections and stuff:

@Hbryant188 Is it not a criminal offense to hinder emergency vehicles, what happens with people who do not move over soon enough or obstruct emergency vehicles? Do you get a fine or will you be prosecuted in court?

@Hbryant188 Waiting for 30 seconds with sirenes and lights on? Pfff... Outrageous... Every second counts... Must be frustrating for you I assume.

Do you think that people in their cars/vehicles might not recognize sirenes well enough that they are aware a emergency vehicle is approaching? Here in the Netherlands, you can not be mistaken that one is coming so you already know what you can expect, you already take precautions when hearing a sirene, slow down, watch mirrors if it is behind you
