There was a construction worker working on a gutter when he suddenly slipped into it. He was trapped and was not able to get out, so they had to request all of these special units to find a way to get him out

California vehicle code clearly states that siren may be used as reasonably necessary but does not have to be on all the time.

@@rickwinniford2086 wrong. California Vehicle Code (CVC) 21055 clearly states.. emergency vehicles, including police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, etc., are exempt from following the traffic laws while responding to and during emergencies as long as they have their red lights and SIRENS on. As soon as they cross the center line or break any other traffic law while not having their siren in they have in fact broken the law.

They did

would you rather call for more units than you might need or realize you need more resources when it's already too late to receive a decent response time? LA's too big of a city to put USAR trucks in every station and too small of an applicant pool of search & rescue qualified persons for LAFD. Since they have fewer than ideal USAR squads, I'd say sending everyone they might need so that spec units are already rolling if they're confirmed as needed, is better than getting on scene and having to call everyone they will need, waiting for them to deploy, waiting even longer for them to respond, and having them get on scene to a more dire situation justifies the callout. LAFD have big city money they can handle "waste" of resources.

given that LA city has some stupid protocols I'd say possibly. I've only ever seen them used when responding to fires or navigating heavy traffic

From what I found via Google he survived. It took them a while for them to get him out but he was only buried up to his waist in dirt.

@@braduh1 that's great news! He's very lucky then. A great effort by the LA City Fire Department 🙌👏

It appears to be perfectly in compliance with california law as they have 2 steady red lights on the front of the vehicle and there aren't usually laws or department rules regarding the way lights flash and as far as I know LAFD and the state do not have any requirements or rules regarding the way lights flash on any emergency vehicle.

Probably just laziness and being basic

@@sethambre3001 you do know lafd doesnt do the outfitting...right?

Construction worker was trapped in a trench filled with soil up to his chest.

@@southlafirephotography dang

What is ER2? I only saw it once but in pictures but didn't give a description of it.

@@leedaniel7359From what I read online they are an LAFD equivalent to LACoFD’s “Health Hazmat division”. Essentially they are fire prevention (hence the CUPA marking on the right side) hazmat inspection and workplace safety accident units.

Being stuck for 6 hours without water in that type of heat is no Bueno . The patient was obviously dehydrated , disoriented , and in shock and LAFD did a wonderful job extricating him and giving him the care he needed .

Sounds like a Code-3. Very similar to the one in Avalon Fire's Engine-1.

Sounds like a edited Mastercom B or RLS. I agree it does sound like an Omega

Isnt it the code 3 rls??

@@trainsandstuff2040 the RLS system and the Mastercom are similar. It could be either or

@@trainsandstuff2040 It very well might be but it sounds a bit higher pitched in this video than the other videos of this siren on youtube. Thanks for the lead.

Higher brass generally, but the first white Durango is EMS

I think it's bizarre to have slicks in the FD personally

Tier 2 paramedics or Fire Marshals that can use the unmarked car

Construction worker trapped in a 8 foot trench.

@@eddieo4156 That would be a good one for the list.

They do. The two SWAT Lieutenants and two of the Metro K9 Sergeants have Tahoes.

Los Angeles city fire department

Code 3 is an emergent response, lights and sirens
