Lights and Siren Parade-Chicagoland Emergency Vehicle Show 2009

The Lights and Siren parade that kicked off the North Aurora Days Festival, and the Emergency Vehicle Show. This is my kinda parade!

[@nmtoc]

The small MV FPD fire engine at 9:13 had the best sounding electronic siren. It sounds like late 1960s Federal PA15A or PA20A siren. This is the type of siren that should have been installed in the 1967-1970 era police cars and ambulances in the parade. Unfortunately, the sirens I heard in those old cop cars and ambos were the high-pitched versions which are too new for vehicles of that vintage.

[@EMSPete]

Old school and new school ..... love it! Thank you for posting it!

That's just awesome thanks for posting

[@trh200v1tr]

very good!!

[@rykember11]

@CSILCPD Many emergency vehicles awhile back used lightbars similar to that. Two beacons on either side, flashers, and a siren speaker or mechanical siren in the middle.

[@JaysonJaseVaughn]

Nice

[@Timmay911]

THANK YOU DAVE WEAVER!!!!!!!!!!!

[@separatistroger]

[@BF-qt2wp]

Nice Video and keep up with a great work out there.

[@Quickcall]

Back in the 50s, 60s, and 70's, a hearse/ambulance combo was common. Many ambulance companys were owned by funeral homes. So late or on time, it was all good for business!

[@hotrod1324]

Great video!!!

[@Timmay911]

Dave Weaver is the organizer of the lights and sirens parade and the chicagoland emergency vehicle show on saturday!

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

and now imagine a fire and rescue drill (or real emergency) with that amount of vehicles responding

[@darlsyou8409]

ya

[@rykember11]

@bullseye1670 It kicks off the North Aurora Days Festival and Chicagoland Emergency Vehicle Show. It also is a good chance to make alot of noise for no reason.

[@JBurk2322]

hahahaha i was right down from where u were!! Great video! That was my first powercall 2!!

[@ronnleemorris6817]

This is the sound of the world ending.

[@rgwheeler3450]

Can't get any better than an old ALF with and old Q

[@Drewster327]

That stasky and hutch one was epic

[@nerdlydood]

4:05 crown vic with aerodynic - love it! 9:04 love that siren - what model is that?

[@gta4fan556]

Those classic fire trucks have awesome sirens especially that Q

[@trainlova12]

thx!!!

[@DreamOf944]

@patrikpppp It vibrates to the sound of the siren and it makes the sound waves more intense. Everything around it is shaking then and the people in the cars notice it better. just search it on youtube :P

[@ShitMovies2000]

@rykember11 I think it's an old caprice but I'm not sure. I love it!

[@deathmasta455]

Hahahaha i watch this every year it's awesome

[@fordgtjr]

7:10 Lenco Bearcat, the coolest thing to drive, have two of them at work

[@nicksfirechannel8179]

I love the command truck

[@darlsyou8409]

same

[@still_guns]

btw, that 'thing' at 3:57 is a german KubelWagen from WW2

[@schmittdjeson]

*Wanted level: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟*

[@BigBerk765]

The police car behind the Chevy Caprice @ 6:20 is a 1979 Dodge St. Regis!

[@kirkendol]

@Scony1993 if your talking about the white one its an old 80's model crown vic and the black on looks some what like a plymouth

[@rykember11]

I'd hightly reccomend going! Go to the CEVS website, im not sure what exactly what it is, google chicagoland emergency vehicle show, and they have some pretty cool info on it. I'll be there next year for sure! (I hope.)

[@Amaster234]

I love those old police cars!

[@ayenul4256]

Hope there were no crimes that day.

[@darlsyou8409]

XD

[@f1ves506]

um.. i think i should pull over now ._.

[@sandysquirrel8950]

Same here

[@ironmatic1]

They even brought the Tow truck to tow your car and the hearse to take you away!

[@annsimmons49]

Awesome

[@Davide813EmergencyVideos]

Very Nice Rumbler

[@Callihandawg]

That would be the Rumbler set on Wail which sounds like it's on top of a Carson siren.

[@codethreeproductions]

@nosferatu135 Interestingly enough, back in the 1970's and before, before EMTs and Paramedics, most ambulance companies were run by funeral homes. Hearses would be emptied, and gurneys used to be designed so that it could eather have a matress to hold a patient or running board to hold a coffin.

[@railman2015]

7:24 I love that TV show!

[@rykember11]

I did not have one at the time. All my Lights and Sirens parade videos since then have used a tripod.

[@sdjakeblues]

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, its night time and we're wearing sunglasses...

[@outdoorsman413]

bet all the people driving those trucks/cars had fun playing with the sirens

[@sidharthnehra7757]

very very nice

[@Timmay911]

as far as i can tell and know, it's the Aurora EMA with a possible construction-like advisory sign on top? unknown if it's a directional or text sign, if it is that

[@mhardouin]

powercall my friend

[@dasarge84]

the black swat superduty looks bad ass

[@SCmedic28666]

Very, very cool! I would hate to live on that street though!

[@bigtime7724]

I love how we have some Illinois state police cars in there.and CHP.

[@rykember11]

Not all of em are Qs, some of em are other mechanical sirens, and the command center tries to call itself a Q, but its an EQ.

[@sdjakeblues]

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, its night time and we're wearing sunglasses... Oh and check out how many California cars are in this parade! COOOL!

[@carao222]

Great video, I only wish the camera man had found a way to shake the camera a bit more. I would prefer to get dizzy after 10 seconds, not 30.

[@rykember11]

Batavia has a powercall, EQ2B and a Q on 1 truck? I kinda doubt that. I thought they just had the Q and a PA 300.

[@BluegrassFilmsKY]

@nosferatu135 In the days before EMTs and Paramedics in many communities the local funeral home provided ambulance services.

[@rykember11]

What Truck? A Big One... Frankly, i dont know never seen the show, wanna start watching it, what channel is it on?

[@DDAVO7]

@Scony1993 that's a Ford Crown Victoria

[@Obama-km6bh]

7:10 Is that a S.W.A.T van?

[@thunderbear0]

@@tomrp4494 lmao

[@BenzieFirePhotography]

probably an ERT Bearcat, so yes, SWAT

[@joshua1626]

7:00-8:00 are the best

[@catlover2368]

My areas police department just recently put a Chevy caprice back into service the oldest police cruiser the PD currently has

[@justinanderson8758]

Destinee Meyer 90s,rotating light bar?

[@randomshittv2000]

Did they ever had a Volkswagen Beatle?

[@Mudraxx]

My nephew loves to watch this video lol he is police car crazy

[@jfryerfresh]

But you know, they did have coroner vehicles that also had sirens!

[@oskarchensvideos1227]

Ohhh..whats this at 3:55 ? A VW "Kübelwagen" of the German Wehrmacht, WWII. Is this a special Forces? :)))

[@rykember11]

Thats a Ford Crown Victoria (Crown Vic for short) from Lake in the Hills Police.

[@still_guns]

WHY CAN'T WE HAVE THESE IN THE UK?!

[@rykember11]

@anonymus070 Um....I'm not exactly sure. The yelp kinda sounds like a whelen.

[@coolio1986]

that no hearse, back then that's how the old ambulances looked like

[@joek0617]

damn, too bad my local parades don't allow candy throwing anymore

[@rykember11]

Who doesn't, especially these!

[@CSILCPD]

[@crashskunk5888]

I do feel sad for u

[@CSILCPD]

@nosferatu135 some years ago communities without much money used ombined ambulance/hearse vehicles to save money. in funeral case they hung a some canvass over the light like you may know it from fire trucks at funeral scenes/processions

[@ZIG2002]

berwyn with the rumbler

[@thefireswordtfs8011]

Omg i saw the blues brothers

[@Hickmaann90]

The Siren from 08:46 sounds pretty cool. Does it have a name? and what was that Parade for?

[@Mutu1026]

what if there's a major emergency and all the cars are here???
