GoPro: Harrisburg City Ladder 2 Responding to an Allison Hill Fire

[@MegaFireman50]

iam a firefighter at the age of 60 and the feeling you get is something you can't explain. one hell of a rush even at my age ty

[@yunginnndemarr9240]

im starting my academy in june and ive been an cadet/volunteet i have a few questions, doing it straight out of highschool

[@andrewcarlson3486]

Adrenaline?

[@Tom-ln5yo]

Skip the age. If you can, gear up and fight as you can. I just hit 58, know my limits, but bottom line...You can take the boy out of the fire, but you CANNOT take the fire out of the boy. It is that which allows us to still fight.

The driver/ engineer is a boss! Gym shorts, fudge pop and one handed driving. Much respect!

[@lewistasso8866]

Typical engineer

[@LouisvanWijk]

From a professional I expect to have two hands on the wheel.

[@robin3]

if this was indeed an emergency, he's putting lives in jeopardy while sucking on a choc pop.

[@poppiarlin5612]

One handed driving is NOT cool. It is definitely unsafe.

[@davidhibbs6989]

​@@LouisvanWijk100% agreed!

[@Rheems1]

For everyone watching and appreciating this driver, the piece he is driving is a tiller which is like a tractor trailer that bends in the middle. There is a guy in the back who also steers (the opposite way) to make the turns, so you are watching a guy drive a tractor trailer through these awful streets (while eating a fudge pop which is what really makes the video)

[@vicchavez6570]

I live around the corner from a fire station, last year they saved my life, as a combat vet next to my brothers in arms they are my heroes. Bless every single first responder .

[@TrashyLobster]

Thank you for your service 🫡

[@6YJI9]

I am someone who always advocates and encourages drivers/operators to "know their equipment" referring to their vehicles with two of the biggest reasons being knowing what/how your vehicle operates, and its dimensions (we all know those ppl who aren't confident when it comes to parking at a retail store). That being said, one of the things I'm always constantly impressed by and love seeing is Engineers such as this guy who is fully confident AND comfortable both with what his Truck/Ladder could handle as well as the dimensions of it and how tight of a spacing he could squeeze through.

[@galaxykinggamer5082]

I love these ride along videos, I don’t know how many channels of subbed to that do this it’s just so fascinating to watch fire trucks respond to calls, these kinda videos are like asmr for me

[@tylerlinneman1821]

Great example of fast yet controlled. He drove quickly and dodged traffic, but in a controlled and deliberate way. He didn’t weave in and out of traffic, he was careful at intersections and slowed when he couldn’t see both ways from a distance, and he only drove on the left when it was necessary. Something a firefighter friend told me was that firemen don’t just run around like they do on TV. They work a lot slower in real life, but they also don’t make mistakes. Do it with pace, but do it with purpose he likes to say.

Where I live, a mainstreet snakes underneath a rail underpass wich extends about 75 feet, the middle of the road seperated by concrete. I saw a fire truck go right through the opposing traffic lane at full speed. WTF and it's dark in there.

[@lawoftheland5923]

Its done all the time here, this isnt Europe dude. @@maxizac7

[@internetpig5354]

​@@maxizac7 If he would have went behind the traffic that was on the right side of the road, he'd have been stuck there for several minuties while peolle figured out how to get out of his way. People in the US do NOT respect EMS vehicles and sirens and lights. They slow down and move half a foot to the side, at best. Europeans have a much larger respect for EMS than we do here in the US. I do agree it was risky, however, the traffic was stopped, there were only 3 cars in the incoming lane, and there is no way they'd miss the sirens and lights in front of them. It wasn't that dangerous, in this particular situation. I've seen firetrucks do this before and they always do it as a last effort when that's the only way they can get to their location in time to help put the fire out/save a life. This wouldn't be an issue if people in the US MOVED OVER for EMS. Not a little, not a teeny tiny but, no, if they MOVED OVER! I have rode in a firetruck several times and the amount of times people stop in the middle of the road blocking us ,or ignore us entirely is insane. I really think that people who fail to move for EMS should be given massive fines and potentially a license revoked depending on the situation. But yeah, I'm not saying it's not dangerous, it is. But they are responding to a fire. The only thing they did that's not "normal" was the lane switch. Everything else was textbook, and the lane switch was too, but like I said, that's a last resort and he had to take it due to the traffic jam on the road he was already on. Trust me, they would have taken forever to move out of his way, I've seen it before, many a' times.
