Massive Seattle police and fire response! SPD x11, SFD x5 and AMR x2!

On October 19th 2023, I filmed a massive police and fire response to a shooting in north Seattle, at the Golden Gardens dog park. Details are still sketchy, but it seems to have been a confrontation over a stolen car that led to four people being shot, one fatally. Two of the victims drove to another location where a second call was set-up.
On a lighter note, this video briefly features one of my crow friends! Usually they wait by my house so I can feed them peanuts, but this time they found me a few blocks away and followed me all the way back home!
This video also features 11 different SPD responses, which I'm fairly sure is a personal record. It does make me wish there was more variation / variety in the cruisers, but I can't complain too much. Aid 31 and Medic 31 also showed off the old and new style ambulances used by Seattle FD. Usually Aid 31 is in a new rig as well, but it must have been in the shop.
I also captured some footage of Medic 44, which I didn't notice until I was reviewing the video to add captions. This video already took 30 minutes to process and 3 hours to upload, so I'll just upload the Medic 44 clip separately ( • Bonus clip: Seattle Fi... ).
I was glad to get some footage of a box-style AMR rig responding - I almost missed it since they were stopped at a red light with no lights/sirens, then suddenly turned them on and started responding.
Thanks for watching, and happy Friday!

Wow, great catches!! The inclusion of the crow friend was fun too!

[@lucaslaughing]

Thanks Erik! I wasn't expecting the crow, but when s/he flew down and landed next to me I knew they had to be included 😀

[@Elevatorstunner]

Wow great catches!! Thank you Lucas

[@SuperHusky83]

Interesting new spotlights on the patrol car at 3:15.

[@lucaslaughing]

Oh yeah, good eye!

[@petewilliamsiv3512]

cool seeing Both "Mad-hatters" Aid car & Medic 31 Responding together

[@lucaslaughing]

Yeah, M31 had some fun decals on the back!

[@petewilliamsiv3512]

Oh now i see the Madhatters Stickers on the Medic unit @@lucaslaughing

[@samcampbell1351]

Love the catch! Love SFD and SPD responding together.

[@lucaslaughing]

Thanks Sam! Yeah, always good to see them working together!

[@joshw1687]

What's the difference between Aid 31 and Medic 31?

[@petewilliamsiv3512]

Medic 31 is a full time unit with "white shirts" Medics and aid car 31 is a part time 9 Am to 9 Pm and the aid car is run by fire fighters

[@LiamPattisonPhotography]

Those were some awesome catches Lucas, what a parade!

[@lucaslaughing]

Thanks Liam! It was a busy day for sure!

[@firefighterfan2010]

Nice Catch!

[@lucaslaughing]

Thank you!

[@firefighterfan2010]

Your welcome!@@lucaslaughing

[@SeattleResponses]

Unfortunate circumstances. Terrible that two of them happened in just a matter of minutes apart. Good catches though, Lucas.

[@lucaslaughing]

Yeah, the neighborhood is feeling less and less safe ... which is great for my channel, but not so great for living here...

[@SeattleResponses]

@@lucaslaughing Kind of the same over here on the Alki/Admiral district, as well as all of West Seattle now. More crime is happening, including more violent crime in this once quiet and tight knit community. So sad.

[@johnniebellamy5912]

Epic Catches

[@lucaslaughing]

Thank you!

[@seattlearearesponses]

Great Catches. Sad call though.

[@lucaslaughing]

Thank you! Yeah, definitely a rough call...

[@zachdavis1282]

Suprised SPD had 11 patrol cars in service in the N pct. That's bigtime staffing these days.

[@jeffturkel3344]

Incredible catch-was this for the SOV 14 yesterday? There are almost as many cruisers in this video that the entire city of Anchorage, AK where I live have one duty per shift.

[@stuffedstuffy9267]

I believe so.

[@jeffturkel3344]

@@stuffedstuffy9267 heck of a tough day yesterday for the shift. Looks busy tonight also. Appreciate the reply.

[@SeattleResponses]

@@jeffturkel3344 There were two SoV14s in Ballard last night, nearly 10 minutes apart.

[@jeffturkel3344]

@@SeattleResponses thanks for the info. Just received an alert for the “14l.

[@saer-shorts]

Yeah. Amazing catches.

[@lucaslaughing]

Thank you!

[@GRC6401]

Awesome!

[@lucaslaughing]

Thank you!

[@SilverGoth]

Dayum! I didn't know we had that many cups left on the payroll!

[@lucaslaughing]

Lol, right? Feels like this was probably all of north precinct, both shifts.

[@iicustodianlaw]

1:24 one of the 2019 explorer had a different whelen siren than the spectra which the 16-19 explorer normally uses

[@SuperHusky83]

Sadly the Spectra going by by

[@lucaslaughing]

Good ear - I like the new sirens mostly because I can tell right away that it's SPD coming, vs an SFD battalion or ambulance.

[@iicustodianlaw]

@@lucaslaughing does the spectra units have the fleet 2 in their cars or its just the old cobans

[@lucaslaughing]

Sorry, I'm not sure...

[@iicustodianlaw]

Nvm, the Spectra units do have Fleet 2 and WSP uses Fleet 3 for their newer cars.

[@Zyrovrrr]

Do you know what happened

[@lucaslaughing]

Unfortunately four people were shot, apparently during a confrontation over a stolen car.

[@Zyrovrrr]

Oh that sucks
