New International Terra star ambulance for Newport Delaware 2014 lights siren and horn test

[@PFDChaseVids]

Nice siren usage, nice looking ambulance!

[@dustinpoe4422]

you did great when building this ambulance and the red train.

[@fmartinjr]

Thanks Dustin. I try to leave a pattern with my preference.

[@dustinpoe4422]

you're welcome merry Christmas.

[@liamdempseyfirephotosvideo1475]

1:52 was that Frederick County Maryland Ambulance 39

[@joek0617]

i see the powerarcs from the red train made an impression

[@fmartinjr]

My man! What's up.. Yes.I was specifically brought to this committee for the audible and visual scheme.Also the paint color.The whole while I was thinking of how this could favor The Red Train. Hopefully after this weekend she will be delivered to us.From Florida she will be driven to Middletown,Delaware to Pierce's service center where she will be lettered and scotch-lite will be applied...and other small details that we pointed out during final inspection.

[@joek0617]

ah, ok, i was wondering about the stripes and chevrons. they having you do all the A/V for new apparatus?

[@fmartinjr]

joek0617 No Chevons. Lettering and scotchlite will be done at service ctr. in Middletown,Delaware along with some equipment mounting.Radios and other items will be done also once it arrives in Delaware.

[@Firefighter6940]

That's a beautiful rig.

[@DreadWing7777]

SHE SURE IS MAN - BEAUTIFUL. A family friend of mine has the same type of Red and White Light's plus the same type of Siren's on his Dodge Ram [HEMI] 1500 Pick-up Truck.

[@tylerkemp1979]

thats a cool ambulance

[@ep-ou7sc]

How did they do the powercall in that? Sounds like a 6adam

[@UnionPacificYT2]

Guys, did you happen to see a not named FDNY Ambulance?

[@tmthsth41]

Cool ambulance

[@ep-ou7sc]

This was a gorgeous rig. What happened to it?

[@cat740dt]

I wondered the same

[@hagerstownredline5274]

It had a 6.4 in it, the motor probably blew up lol

[@johnnyrebel11]

Thats a nice ambulance. Only thing that would annoy me about that truck would be those lights on the fenders. Couldnt of gotten flush mounts?

[@fmartinjr]

Already an addressed concern. Road Rescue said they had to be mounted in those for that position.

[@fmartinjr]

The first half of the year of being in service it was o.o.s. for computer/mechanical problems

[@znovosad555]

Our 2005 new Lexington international tanker has a lot of problems. More so pump side of things but it did need it's computer reset not too long ago. International are cheaper than some of the other brands but they aren't really the most reliable a lot of the time. Same with freitliners. That's why you see those two so much for larger trucking companies. Cause they're cheap.

[@cfol1382]

Who makes the lower level light heads in the front grill, sides, and rear? Also, the top light bars on the rear top, who makes those and do you know the model numbers? Thanks!!!

[@fmartinjr]

The lower perimeter lights are PowerArc models MP13. The Red Train in my video collection also haves Powerarcs,model M90. The mini bars on the rear box body upper corners are Whelen ,I believe models 4520.

Road Rescue box on an International Terrastar

[@Brothersinarms01]

That's a nice one!

[@PeterLokey]

Awesome Video. When Do You Think You Will Have In In Service?

[@fmartinjr]

2 weeks

[@MrKal222]

Needs a q siren

[@jakerosler2475]

What kind of siren was that??

[@fmartinjr]

Read description under title

[@brettslawnservice]

Who makes the grille lights?

[@fmartinjr]

PowerArc

[@Lwfdgriff537]

love the carson siren not a fan of the p-call

[@napsterbater]

Those flash patterns of splitting a light head in half (or even fourths, like the "pinwheel" mode some have) are idiotic unless the lighthead is dual color, flash the whole lighthead at once and alternate the red and white heads, much more visible, otherwise might aswell but a lightheads half the size.

[@fmartinjr]

napsterbater Yes, not the best pattern for those lights. I wasn't worried so much with the 900's as I was with the PowerArc MP13's. The electrical tech at Road Rescue actually chose that pattern for the 900's. I chose the patterns for the MP 13's, high beams, and Whelen 4520 mini bars.None the less, the chosen patterns and light models do more than the job... Interstate local highway or development.

[@benanthonybalane8191]

No Not Take I'm Sorry.

[@jimnasium1475]

what is the siren at 0:23 +fmartinjr

[@fmartinjr]

+Jim Nasium The Carson

[@jimnasium1475]

fmartinjr thanks and which tone is it

[@code3response524]

+Jim Nasium manual wail

[@volunteerfireman3891]

its called the Powercall 6 adam

[@Ray-Koto-McLellan]

Definitely a good looker. how did the actual horn switch the sirens? a toggle switch or just a mode that got built in?

[@fmartinjr]

A wire from the horn ring to the siren box. It's nothing new;that's been around since at least the 80's.

[@znovosad555]

I've never understood why ambulances like this get over complicated with a ridiculous amount of switches. Our ambulance at my department is the same way. We have a giant console full of switches. I did ride time with the local commercial ambulance company and they have only a few switches not including the basic siren controller. Ironically too we have a Carson siren and being honest it sounds unique but it just doesn't move traffic well. That and the old school lights. I just feel like that many switches is cumbersome especially when you're trying to find a switch for scene lighting or something relatively quickly.

[@mailforward4me]

That's a pretty rig, but it would never pass muster here..... It's not a KKK compliant color, and lacks the proper lighbars....

[@fmartinjr]

What is proper lightbars?

[@mailforward4me]

fmartinjr You don't know what a lightbar is ?

[@fmartinjr]

My question to your statement was,"What is proper lightbars". I didn't ask ,"What is a lightbar?" I did the lights,sirens,and horns on this rig. I'm trying to see what you're getting at with "proper lightbars".

[@mailforward4me]

fmartinjr If you "did the lights, sirens, and horns on this rig..." as you say, I'm sure you know this already, but that rig DOESN'T HAVE ANY lightbars. It seems to have a lot of the little square strobes, but no Front and Rear lightbars... I know there are excellent ones available from Federal, Whelen, and Code 3.... Your company may make them too, but it's apparent you didn't put any on this ambulance...Most EMS agencies that I know of would consider that a deal-breaker.... as without the requisite lightbars, we would not be visible enough to other traffic.... not to mention the color being noncompliant...

[@fmartinjr]

Yes,I did the lights,sirens,and horns on this rig.Not manufactured them in my kitchen did them,but as in a purchasing committee is formed to order an ambulance,and those devices were ordered by me.I don't know where you're at, but this is the Mid-Atlantic East Coast and thousands of EMS units have flush-mounted Primary warning lights.From D.C. to New York, units have had them since at least the 80's.And a deal-breaker!? The lights,sirens,and horns on this rig cost more than most new cars.And I DO HAVE lightbars on this rig.Whelen 4520's are on the upper rear corners.And non visible to traffic? You can see in the videos I posted that the lights are brilliant,so what are you doubting? There is no strobes on here. All LED's and high beam halogen flashers.

[@MrIamalego]

Powercall on this just sounds so plastic

[@fmartinjr]

Model X71 hooked to plastic wheels speaker.

[@MrIamalego]

+fmartinjr makes sense

[@fmartinjr]

Me personally, I love metal speakers. The sound is better. The Pierce rep messed this up on my ambulance though. I specified 3 metal CPI speakers to run the Carson and the PowerCall sirens. But he ordered 2 CPI's and 2 Whelens.

[@MrIamalego]

+fmartinjr that sucks
