FDNY Major Response To An All Hands Fire 12/29/16

[@mvguy4792]

Amazing how livery and cab drivers continued to merge in to the fire trucks right of way after a pickup drop off despite the response sirens and horns.

[@yellowcar423]

this is why you dont want to be an engineer for FDNY

[@jonp2338]

worst drivers total foreign dirtbags

[@Bobman84]

Love how the specialist units leave the siren on rather than play around! Sounds better than E-Q too.

Compilation of Firetruck 🚒 response in NYC

[@gamercat4324]

I understand why in NYC have this many Taxi 🚕

[@tigersfan14]

It's why I love living in the Midwest. I've seen people pull up OVER the curb to get out of the way for an ambulance.

[@ninofromkitchennightmares1497]

[@bradmccarville9103]

[@Rainman14]

+Legoman 68 yeah, their firehouse was decorated very well too

[@bradmccarville9103]

Rainman14 really that is cool that they decorate my local small town fire department didn't decorate hardly at all only 1 station did

[@Rainman14]

+Legoman 68 a little bit of lights is about it

[@celticsprods]

Karens: Why do fire trucks take so long? Also Karens: Don’t get out of the way

[@YYCFilmer]

Ya can't win with Karens. They're the people to question one thing I.E wondering why emergency crews take so long in general, and they'll be the ones to either A. cut off the Emergency Vehicle to gain an advantage in a massive traffic jam and delay said Emergency vehicle. And/Or B. Fail to yield to the truck and just sit there because in their head they've gto more important things to do than to let a emergency vehicle pass by you to save someones life/help someone.

[@shmeatcakes7866]

I have heard of ppl calling 911 and being placed on hold. I can only imagine having life threatining injuries or the need for police and being placed on hold. Big cities like New York get lots of fire, medical and police calls every day to the point where emergency services get overwhelmed. But hey what can you do about it

[@juanitaimhoff9844]

Where I live I have seen folks climb the curbs to give First Responders a way to get through. It's hard on the alignment, but well worth it to help save someone's life.

Benjamin Beytekin 23 always have a great setup! 15's was good too with the star.

[@Rainman14]

+CobraEmergencyVideos I don't know if their firehouse was decorated though

[@CobraEmergency]

Most likely was on the inside. The FDNY are very festive. Probably had a tree and a whole bunch of stuff everywhere.

[@deanlabbe9952]

OK I'm a country boy. I understand that getting through city traffic can be difficult. But passing an emergency vehicle is unbelievable.

[@Rainman14]

+Dean Labbe it happens on highways a lot since older fire trucks may not be able to keep that speed

[@deanlabbe9952]

I saw no highways in his video. That said here are not many pieces of emergency response vehicles that cannot maintain the speed limit up to 65 MPH. Give the responders a break it might be your house or your mother they are trying to get too.

[@Rainman14]

+Dean Labbe I know people don't understand

[@jaysmith1408]

Our ladder truck can get to 65 eventually. Our engine gets to 65 on the onramp. Same engine, same transmission. But when motorists keep driving or pass us (just to get in the way again) we get mad. And it’s never wise to piss off the fire department.

[@alejandromansfield6867]

I understand more for the cars because they have nowhere to go sometimes but the people have no excuse

[@FatGuyInaTruck]

It's apparent that all of you "I can't believe vehicles aren't getting out of the way" folks have never set foot on a typical NYC street. There's literally NOWHERE for these vehicles to go to get out of the way.

[@Rainman14]

+Michael Tovar yeah I've noticed, almost every other city has a little more room, but NY drivers should move out of the way as much as they can and stop until the vehicle passes

[@kalebharris2389]

Yeah, but the amouny of people that passed the emergency vehicles and cut them off is what is really bad.

[@lzh4950]

Was thinking if the vehicles in front of the emergency vehicles are being held up by a red further down the road

[@TheResponder]

WÔW!! R14 : O) That's was bigger than epic! Fantastic catches of all the fdny vehicles responding. It's extremely rare to get them all in one video in response. Great job & JJ to on the other hand too! ;o]

Amazes me the number of idiots driving these cars and not moving out of the way.

[@Rainman14]

+Greg W yeah, people don't move in New York because they're so used to it

[@ChampJJ]

Greg W question are emergency vehicles allowed to push pedestrian vehicles out of the way in an serious emergency ??

[@chubbywolf3517]

Greg W I couldn't do this in New York tbh

[@gregw3]

By law no, emergency vehicles cannot push civilian cars.

[@chubbywolf3517]

No they can't if you don't move you can get a ticket for it

[@_milo590]

They should send police following the trucks. Imagine the millions made from a single call just from failure to yield tickets.

[@Sara-L]

Yeah. From the amount of traffic in that area they would be there all day, blocking all emergency vehicles the whole time.

[@thehunterstruck]

Some cities actually have an officer lead the apparatus or ambulances for the purpose of people moving out of the way. And also people are much more likely to pull over for a cop than anything

[@joediver7669]

When I visited NY I noticed that part of the problem lies with the police who clearly use lights and sirens to navigate through traffic even when thier is isnt an emergency. New Yorkers are desensitized to it.

[@rhys80]

Joe Diver How do you know they weren't in an emergency?

[@LvyPK]

i was in the back of a patrol car for a misdemeanor and they turned their lights on and went on opposite traffic just for fun

[@johnroberts9560]

Hi Rainman , I love these FDNY firetrucks responding , thanks for the catch my friend ! 👍😃🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒

[@tomcampbell3829]

nypd traffic needs to be out in full force writing tickets to all them cabbies.

[@bohemoth1]

They need a dedicated lane for emergency vehicles only with a five hundred dollar fine for each violation. When they hear the sirens they have to clear the lanes immediately or get a ticket and be towed away.

[@ninofromkitchennightmares1497]

bohemoth1 There is a Fire Lane I think on some streets

[@RGD0756]

Better yet - if you want to drive like you’re back home in Pakistan, then send them back there.

Where I come from if you do not yield to emergency vehicles it will cost you a 300.00 ticket and in extreme cases they Will push you out of Thier way with No legal recourse on your part

[@Rainman14]

+Don Maasch feel like the fine should be a little higher but that's alright

[@kaylamitchell1982]

Don Maasch what they need to do is replace all the red lights with blue lights, then they would be more noticeable. Oh, and also make the siren ten times louder.

[@brendanrunge295]

Finlay Mitchell Not like they are loud enough, they are already loud... if your moving fast you won't hear the siren until it's on your ass

[@SpiritBear12]

Where you come from? Where is that? It's probably not in a congested tightly packed city with few places to pull over to and get out of the way. And good luck to any cop running back and forth the road all the way down the path of the fire trucks trying to dole out tickets to any one who just can't get out of the way. Many want to get out of the way, but there's little room and they can't run over the pedestrians to do so, so they are stuck until room is made. This is one of the biggest cities in the world, not some quiet suburban town.

[@Rocon390]

You don’t want to damage the apparatus

[@boohaka]

Awesome video, great work! Here in the U.K. I've never seen such a huge response. I'm amazed they all get through in time.

[@Rainman14]

+Mike-Boohaka yeah they have a lot of calls in New York.

[@carriebaker5161]

You should see how many vehicles we can get here in rural PA USA. We had over 30 trucks and emergency vehicles for a mobile home fire. We had about 20 here yesterday for a "mental health disorder" because he had explosives in his home.

[@peterpluim7912]

In European cities, in congested traffic conditions, emergency services are sometimes driving in the wrong-way, against the traffic flow. If they do that with those huge American fire engines, people might be more ‘incentivised’ to make way. :)

Some impressive decoration on Engine 23! I like Santa hanging on the back.

Welcome to NYC. The only place in the great USA, in which people give zero shit about yielding to emergency vehicles. Why do they even have lights and siren?! What a joke. All the NYFD station should have armored bulldozers to cut a path for all apparatus. I say call the dozers “Linebackers.” Example, engine 23, engine24, truck 2, linebacker 3.....etc. respond to structure fire on....

[@carsonsanders8384]

Every man, woman and child throughout the world owes our lives to the men and women who ride in those emergency vehicles.

just another fire truck

It's less about getting out of the way of emergency vehicles but rather HOW to get out of the way. Idk if it's in the books in Europe or if it's just a thing taught in driving school there, but every emergency response video I see from Western Europe the cars part ways like the Red Sea. Usually the emergency vehicle is able to ride the lines and cars to their left go left, cars to the right go right and there are no issues. It's almost uniform, one video that stood out to me was in Germany, the ambulance pulled up to a line of cars waiting at a stoplight and there was a brief pause, almost like everyone was counting to three and then seamlessly all the cars parted almost uniformly. Of course it helps that cars and emergency vehicles alike are smaller over there, but not to where it's significantly different than in the US.

bann taxi (70%) and take the bus

[@themikeymikechannel2947]

justpulse , SOME taxi drivers are secret terri assistances/ Born or not have self respect for fire and police vehicles trying to get somewhere. when drivers dont move out of the way fast enough they should go right to prison for life!!!!!!! they should be charged with *assist with a death/terri attack* if death happens? 9/11 will never happen as long as we have respectful drivers on all the roads in the USA!!!!!!!!!

[@Rainman14]

+justpulse there should be some taxis just definitely not as many

[@dtrnationaltravels734]

Busses/subway are already filled to the max

[@kingwacky184]

I have to ask, I live in Sweden and we don't have these complete gridlocks when it come to traffic so rescue vehicles can get through pretty easily anywhere. I do want to know in a city like New York how do they deal with the traffic? Especially around Manhattan? I mean for a rescue vehicle to be able to reach anyone within 5 minutes it feels like there would need to be a firehouse like 1000 feet of every single location on Manhattan.

[@Rainman14]

+King Wacky there's a firehouse about every 15 blocks in NYC

[@kingwacky184]

ok so that means one is no more than 7,5 blocks away from a firehouse at any given time. How many feet is one block? Give or take?

[@Rainman14]

+King Wacky not really sure, maybe 150-200 ft I think?

[@davetrescher301]

plus the cab drivers are a joke

[@alexandermakrianis]

TSU1 is very unique, I like how it carries an inflatable boat right on top.

[@Rainman14]

+HAZMAT FireGuy I'm pretty sure Mose of the rescues have inflatable boats too. It also is probably the vehicle with the biggest wheels in the city.

[@charlietownend4721]

4:17 looks like a coach

[@charlietownend4721]

Gamescore52 I live in England so we don't have them😂

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

the FDNY calls them MERV, short for Major Emergency Response Vehicle. You can find those in Germany as well, in many large cities the FD operates one or two Large Capacity Ambulanse Buses, in German called GRTW (Großraumrettungswagen). Until now I filmed two of them on a real emergency call and another one during a MCI drill. I was surprised that I didn't see any of the MERV during hurricane Sandy ...

[@Rainman14]

+EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos it would be tough for the MERV to respond during hurricane sandy cause the emergencies were spread out, though it probably should have responded to the Hospital effected during the blackout

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

Exactly, but somehow they didn't show up on those scenes.

[@Rainman14]

+EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos yeah that's weird

[@dwightstewart7181]

People, lights & sirens don't mean just keep driving until it's convenient for you to move over. As soon as you see an emergency vehicle approaching (not once he's right behind you), you're supposed to get over and out of the way as quickly as possible, as in right now - the first possible hole your vehicle can squeeze into without delaying that emergency vehicle.

[@jeremiahburton6275]

The people in new york😳......... Like get the f out of the way, you don't know what they could be responding to, aka 9/11

[@Rainman14]

+That_Dude_ Jerry yeah on one of my older videos in NY I caught a cop pulling over a taxi after it wouldn't move for FDNY Engine 40

[@jeremiahburton6275]

So what was the call

[@Rainman14]

+That_Dude_ Jerry in this video they were responding to a Track fire in Pennsylvania Station on an Amtrak Rail line

[@jeremiahburton6275]

Oh i bet that was a 6 hour call

[@Rainman14]

+That_Dude_ Jerry yeah, I think it started around 3 and I think the last units were taking up a little after 5

[@EinsatzfahrzeugeimFokus]

Very good catch. Greetings from Germany!

[@OldLordSpeedy]

If the fire apparatus are smaller then they can drive between the tracks. But they love the very big trucks! It is no wonder why they stay so often. It can helps if the traffic lights goes green in the direction. ;-)

[@aljack1979]

I was visiting NYC and saw a two pump turn out... Pretty impressive spectical, like a scene from back draft 😂

[@davidkeener5274]

That poor bus driver... I can imagine any bus would be an aggravating thing to drive in congested traffic, but trying to do so as fast as possible must be physically painful.

[@emtfireman1769]

great video, awesome response catch

[@Rainman14]

+Mark Mathews thank you

[@tonyjackson6188]

Great catch of responding units and i expecially dig that tsu unit with the raft on top responding as well. Tony j. Indianapolis.

[@Rainman14]

+Tony Jackson thank you

[@CurtisWellhausen]

Great video, but this video sums it up greatly in every way on why I will NEVER drive in NYC.

[@Rainman14]

+Curtis Wellhausen thanks, yeah it is a nigtmare to drive in NYC

[@reglementme6321]

If you block an emergency run in most of Europe, you can almost hand in your driverslicence, incredible how this can happen
