The good thing about this vid being recorded at the time of the accident is you can hear the sirens and see that truck 26 had the green light.

[@CollegeSilverstacker]

need more of these videos. feel bad for the fire guys in the crash.video shows they even had the green light. YELD TO FIRE PEOPLE!!!

[@QemeH]

Yet, you gotta wonder... it's the same fire fighter who later in the day had a cut on the brow from working a routine MVA, because he didn't have his helmet on. Maybe - just MAYBE - Capt. Helwick should consider him for a response and scene safety course...

[@thatredneckgamer7307]

Please make more episodes love the series

[@vegaspowerlifting]

As a recently retired firefighter of 27 years, little over 20 years with Las Vegas FD, the best time in the fire house and what I miss the most, is being around my brothers and sisters.. And the truck vs eng is a worldwide fight in the firehouse.. My last assignment was on a truck, but as firefighters we rotate between units, truck eng rescue so for us that fight is not as big in some other departments, but it’s funny no matter what department, it’s always the same type of arguments.. truck sleeps while the eng works... the truck is called when real work is needed, etc..

[@AeroVisionNY]

Nice series. Hope that tow-truck driver caught charge for not yielding to an emergency vehicle on the way to a job.

[@michaeleaton9296]

That's where you are. Here in NYC we go lights and sirens or no lights and sirens depending on the call and what due company we are automatically. If we're lights and sirens the code we get to run into the box modified is 10-20.

[@adamthebulldog2738]

Some depts also use them as a blocker to protect the scene at Mvas as a sort of expendable asset rather than sacrificing a firefighting vehicle in the event that someone drives into the back of the scene

15- 20 years ago, running hot on southbound Colorado Blvd at about 9th or 10th ave, we had just entered the intersection when some jackass in a pickup tried to rush arpund us and clipped the rear left side of the ambulance. Denver PD was there and actually arrested the guy. No injuries, but i came quite close to needing a change of underwear, and I bet my partner did too.🤤

[@nicj.tessier1689]

The DFD obviously doesnt feel the the need to yield at intersections just like everyone else needs to so this kinda shit doesn't happen, just cause you have lights and sirens doesn't mean you can disregard everyone else's safety to blow threw the intersection

[@extraslayar4585]

i fully agree that they shouldve yielded and been more cautious. i also know when you have the green light and all your lights blaring its easy to forget people are still stupid enough to blow a red light. But i dont feel they fully disregarded public safety. and the Tow truck driver should've yielded in the very least if he were to still go through a red light

[@grammpaa]

Lights and sirens are used to request the right of way, doesn't mean you're going to get it. Not slowing down enough to clear an intersection, even if you have a green light is NOT showing due regard.

[@bfleming56]

station 26 got turned into a bar :(

[@shirashump1130]

Really

[@TheRamos53]

lol no offense but the Denver firefighters look like complete scrubs compared to the firefighters here in Los Angeles.

[@kingofkings6905]

Most firefighters are well trained, just two different styles. In Los Angeles, we are very traditional. All of our engines, quints, etc are red and we use wood ladders. I'm proud to continue our proud tradition. 💪🏼🚒🔥

This is why some apparatus drivers stop at Green lights

[@macchirpy]

"if we have to use the jaws of life, people are in a bad way" lol, rubbish. A lot of people suffer minor injuries but physically can't get out of a car but still need to be extricated using hydraulic tools. Nothing like dressing the Job up at times.

[@moritzwolle2141]

[@bostonfire7261]

Scott packs 🤦‍♂️

[@albertledesma5173]

Coates talking trash all day about the engine crew and proved to be a terrible driver and unsafe. Terrible driver because not only was it his duty to clear the intersection, EVEN on a green, but you can see his speed on the subsequent call through the intersections. And then right when I was thinking, "none of the truck crew is wearing eye protection during extrication ops," they show Coates with a big ole gash right on his brow. On a spot that would've CLEARLY been protected by safety glasses or eye protection of some kind. This dude needs a stern talking to, if not a demotion.

[@macchirpy]

Albert Ledesma how was he a terrible driver in the crash. He didn't appear to be speeding. Looks like the other truck wasn't paying attention at all!

[@mrs117firewife8]

He also sounded the air horn as he entered the intersection.
