Rescue 50 Ride Along to 54 Accident Entrapment

Rescue 50 responding to a vehicle accident with confinement assisting Station 54. Crews were putting up Christmas lights at the station when the call came across, so we were out the door right after dispatch. Crews popped the door and assisted with patient care and spill control before clearing. Willow Street Fire Company. Taken 11/25/17.
Rescue 50 is a 2002 Pierce Lance.

My father was a firefighter in Europe in 1960, and we had one of those world war sirens in the fire station you could hear the siren miles away to call the volunteer firefighters and it would go on and on and on till they had enough firefighter in the station only then it would go off! great memories has a kid growing up.

I've got to agree that it is so nice to see people moving over for apparatus. I was both a paid and a volunteer firefighter. I think as a whole, you still see respect for emergency services. I also once worked in a metro area. Even there, it was pretty good; although not as good as the more rural areas. In some large cities, they don't give a crap unless it affects them. That siren was good to clear intersections, but that high-pitched up and down would have given me a headache.

[@FrozenRose816]

Interesting how many people here are commenting to ask about the siren at the beginning. I grew up with them here and they're still used today, along with a different kind of alarm that "honks" (only way I can really describe it). A volunteer firewoman I knew said that, at least in my area, the siren alone is for a fire, and the fire siren together with the "honking" one is a rescue call. We don't usually get tornadoes here so I've always known they were for volunteer fire calls.

congratulations, 10 minutes to reach the accident site and 8 minutes to help the victims and clear the lane for traffic, this is a first world country. Here in Brazil, the rescue teams and the traffic police take 2 hours to reach the accident site and another 2 hours to help the victims and apply administrative measures. with luck in 4 hours and 30 minutes, the track is cleared for traffic again.

Its a split highway. The houses you see across from the station? About 5 blocks down is the other side. It's called Willow Street Pike and runs around the outsides of the village of Willow Street, PA. The station is on the northbound side going towards Lancaster.

[@darktoadone5068]

[@jeffreycruse4131]

[@dougsertl4415]

First,..... thank you for your service to your community.......... .As a retired paramedic/training officer and EMS Battalion Chief.....it was very difficult to get our crews/drivers to take a deep breath and SLOW DOWN..........If while responding, you drove along so fast you could not successfully react to a stupid driver that didn't hear you coming..........you put yourself/your crew AND the patient at risk. Slow down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............We beat into our crews, arrive 30 to 90 sec. later safely rather than risk a collision. This video stressed me out. Stay safe and slow down!!!!!!!.....especially in these heavy fire trucks that need considerable distance to slow...let alone stop........Make sure you can always slow or stop as you drive or enter an intersection........assume everyone does not hear you.!!!!!..........Much better to arrive 60-90 seconds later than be involved in a serious/fatal accident...and never arrive and then require other assets to be dispatched stressing the entire system.

[@mohammedahmed5069]

What is that spinning thing on the left at 6:06

[@jernulf]

Does anyone know what determines when the air raid siren like thing goes up in pitch? It seems to have a mind of it's own so I'm thinking it's manually controlled or is it just random?

[@RandyCarpadus]

It's manually controled, usually by a department member that doesn't run calls anymore, or even the dispatching agency (local PD or the like). When I was a kid, my grandfather was the department secretary, and dispatcher when the tones went off so he would run the siren or tell us kids when to push it and how long to hold it. That was great fun.

[@Fire-Rescue50]

Bruce Stambaugh Thanks! No they didn't lol. Depending on the seriousness of the crash we either pull a line or get an extinguisher. There was minor damage to the car and no leaking fluids, so we didn't bother with the line on this one. And the Rescue doesn't carry any water, but the Tower does carry 500 gallons.
