Thanks! I agree, the lighting is much better.

@@MrLachlan. You're welcome. With the code 3 siren will be a nice piece of equipment. Sucks the meds still got old lights, hopefully will change soon.

@@theofficialemergencyservic7881Also agree, the meds (50 units) need new lighting in my opinion, on thing I’ve noticed on the fireground over my years is that the MX7000s in pump & roll mode (Just the halogen rotators) are quite difficult to see in the smoke compared to fancy LEDs that are on the light attacks for example, but I do believe in the near future they plan to do a lighting upgrade on all future vehicles.

111A is Townsville city if I’m not mistaken

@@MrLachlan. 111 Woodlands. 113 Kirwan. 114 South Townsville. 115 Wulguru

yeah pretty sure 1415 is 111A.

Thx for watching

This is a guess, but probably because they trust surrounding drivers to know that there’s an emergency nearby, and it’s obvious that they should steer clear (ie. the emergency is a warning enough, so the siren doesn’t need to be activated any longer.) As for the lights only, they don’t always stick the sirens on for the whole time for the following reasons 1. It’s late at night in a residential area, so lights only will reduce noise pollution. 2. The traffic is relatively light, so a visual warning is better. 3. They are stuck in a red light traffic jam. I have noticed this a bit my self, if an emergency vehicle is in a red light bottleneck, it’s unlikely to persuade traffic to move via the siren. Generally once the light goes green, the siren can be reactivated. All of these, especially the last one will vary between services and their EFAD training protocols, and this only a logical assumption, but this is my interpretation based on my own experiences.

QFES & QFRS are the same thing, QFES is the name of the whole service, QFRS is one of 3 branches in the service, i prefer to use QFES. 🤙

Could just be a broken speaker or a way to run one siren only if they want

Unfortunately at the location at where this was filmed get lit up yearly by youths, last year in June we did a hazard reduction burn at that location so it hasn’t been touched since last year. Long story short goes up quite often.

Figured it wasn’t echo 🤣
