Blue Light Run -West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service

[@lewiskelly14]

Every car yielded. The sirens were turned off when there was no risk. Where there was a risk such as a T-Junction or blind bend, they turned them on. They stopped at intersections where the traffic wasn't too clear. They didn't keep doing when a motorist was confused at a roundabout. They kept a constant speed throughout. Very efficient and well done. MAKES ME PROUD TO BE BRITISH!

The driving of the other road users was largely very good, which is pretty re-assuring, even if it was semi-rural West Sussex. The mini at around 20 minutes deserves praise for indicating that it would pull in but waiting until completing the curve before doing so and allowing the engine driver a clear straight to overtake rather than having to do so on a bend.

This is a training run by the WSF&RS as the route was so long winded From Chichester to westergate via Bognor and Yapton. They even went past Bognor fire station.

[@grahamdobson7428]

[@Simm01968]

Good drive, well done

[@cogidubnus1953]

Didn't we have a lovely time, the day we went to Bognor...(not to mention Aldwick, Felpham and Yapton etc)

[@grahammaguire404]

If it's not training exercise control it possibly be going to back up other colleagues at a major incident

[@sabertoothgaming8988]

lol a guy fell of his bike at 1:55 XD

[@Josh_Funnell]

Who is driving?

[@train672]

Very nice drive, well done :-)

[@muckychimney]

Beg to differ pal but the video clip definitely IS NOT in an officers car, for starters it has a much higher field of view way above the tops of the cars. Look at 4.07 the eye line of the camera is in line with the cab on the 7.5 tonner. I would pretty much say with the way the driver is using the sirens that the video is actually a training run and not a shout. As for not travelling quickly if its an officer ? load of bollocks ! my bil is ACFO when he gets a call he's off like a rocket

[@RossPatzelt]

what is the clicking noise like the sound of a camera taking a picture?

[@universalgaminguk1818]

+Ross Patzelt Head light relay (flashing headlights, you can hear the relay click from the fuse box)

[@andrewjowsey1333]

@@universalgaminguk1818 Its a camera that's clicking not a headlight relay.It would be a constant clicking sound if it were a relay

[@pratt11111]

not till u said so

[@darrenduffy9542]

that was done by the offer in charge by a button in his foot well.

[@findthebadger418]

Tones are controlled by the driver. Only.

[@livestream3946]

@@findthebadger418 in our appliances there is a foot siren control for both the driver and OIC and a dash button for both the driver and OIC for bullhorn

[@iberkys]

Wait... So it nearly took 30 minuts to respond!? Wasnt there any firestaision closer? But nice video, sir!

efad driving

[@Mike_5]

outstandingly poor advanced sigage for the roadworks on the roundabout approach

[@matthewthorpe6594]

MY BABIY'S DONE A SHIT I NEED TO GET HOME!!!

[@MaxSafeheaD]

How can they force anyone over red lights?! That's ridiculous.

[@kevin104100]

so this video is just a practice run i was expecting more like a fire

[@darrenduffy9542]

Beeping the horn? Why?no need

[@pratt11111]

+Darren Duffy we do it to acknowledge the drivers tht moved over 4 us.....any other questions ????

[@JaypeXGM]

+Darren Duffy The Horn goes off whenever the siren tone is changed... its easier than the driver pressing a button on his console every time he wants to change the siren.. he just has to bash his horn

[@billywizzer2807]

+JaeTac GM Driver bashing his horn !!!......there"s an image I can"t get out of my mind.

[@Matty_98]

+gaLcH Driver clearly beeps twice when passing the tanker that moved over at 16:00 to thank him. Not much of an uneducated answer when he wasn't wrong.

[@jolly25071]

Where is the f###ing is the fire 🔥

[@Lak1611]

lol

[@sherman4970]

Are you completely insane??? You want crews to WAIT behind other vehicles incase of danger?? What about the poor soul who needs urgent help?Dont be a wally man!!!!

[@CymruEmergencyResponder]

That’s exactly what they should do.

[@terrythomas1329]

I M O the blue light driver needs reassessing - incorrect usage of 2-tones (several occasions), clipping kerbs (again several times) and at least twice he stopped across a red light junction - you do NOT stop ON the junction

[@terrythomas1329]

Yes, 16 yrs accredited service with Sth Yorks Fire and Rescue, 8 yrs Lancashire Fire and Rescue and 4 yrs with the London Fire Brigade.....want to ask something else?

[@Matty_98]

Driver never once used two tones.

[@tomoliver7339]

terry thomas bore off mate 😂

[@CymruEmergencyResponder]

terry thomas I saw nothing wrong with what he did. Tone usage was fine. There are times when you can stop on the junction.

[@findthebadger418]

I see nothing wrong with the tone usage, if anything I would say s/he used it a little much. However this is driver discretion. If you have had any form of blue light training, you should be aware/ had been taught that when proceeding through a red traffic signal (treated as a give way, as one of three statutory exemptions awarded to blue light vehicles) if a vehicle is moving, at speed or simply rolling towards the junction, you should come to a full and complete stop and attempt to make eye contact with that driver. You should then only proceed when they have come to a full and complete stop and it is safe to do so. As if they decide to continue into the junction and you are involved in an RTC, in the eyes of the law they had the right of way and you as the emergency driver should have given way. You should know this though, if you've done your EFAD.
