[@AlCapone-dl3cd]

And these people driving and walking right in front of all the engines

[@ahnbra]

I guess every one else is more important then the fire units responding with lights, sirens and horns!? In some cases the vehicles were unwilling or unable to go through red lights. That is why all major/large cities in the USA need Opticom or some other traffic light control devise. It dose really make life safer for every one. There will still be drivers that do the wrong things. Still though a traffic control system on ever stop light in the city and on every police , fire and medical unit in the city will help a lot. St. Paul and Minneapolis MN. have Opticom and it makes things safer for them. Even most of the suburbs use that system and it helps to quicken response times by giving the emergency vehicle the green light and all others a red light.

[@bayland20]

[@torontosaltaccount]

I heard about that we need medic 1.

[@PierceFan]

Wow amazing catch man! What is the difference between an engine and a pipeline?

[@xheralt]

IIRC a Pipeline carries more large diameter hose and has a pump tuned for inline supply operations (high volume versus high pressure), as opposed to being the frontline attack. It can still serve as such, just not as well.

[@owensweetland342]

They might not wear leather helmets but at least they use REAL Federal Q sirens.

[@connecticutfireemspdresponses]

Jeez looks like a big fire with all those rigs responding .

[@Francesc2000]

Awesome catch. It's really impressive to see such a response.

[@rdbimages]

That gets the ol' heart pumping. Great catch!

[@YelpBullhorn]

With the US grid system of roads it must be quite alarming for a motorist when a huge response seems to come at you from every angle. And pretty much all at once. And can anyone please tell me what a Pipeline is? Is it just an engine?

[@amott919]

Pipeline is the PFD's radio designation for an engine that carries extra lengths of LDH and a manifold.

[@Michaelbos]

Philly needs more strict enforcement of vehicles not pulling over, instead of trying to out race the trucks.

[@mohammedtoure3968]

Very, very awesome catches.

[@amott919]

Thanks!

[@stueyexmcfd]

Q43 was supposed to be SQ43 right? no more Quint either right?

[@amott919]

SQ is the abbreviation for Squad, they use Q for Squrt and Quint was QT when it was around, but its gone now.

[@torontosaltaccount]

So maybe squirts of 43 can stay as 143, but the spare squirts are 243 and 257. But water tower 38 can use an engine if he is at the training academy.

[@flufflepuffle6229]

Cool video!!!

[@josephpollard6324]

Why are there so many "ex" units. Do they undergo an upgrade and get the ID number changed?

[@amott919]

Yes. Busier units get new trucks, and their old one gets handed down to another unit. For example, Medic 13 used to have the 2010 Ford seen in this video, but when they got a new unit in 2015, the 2010 Ford was reassigned to Medic 50.

[@GloucesterCountyNJFire]

[@LSModder]

Hey, Aaron. Great Video! Could you explain me what a "Full Box Response" is?

[@amott919]

Keano Neumann Thanks! I titled this "Full Box Response" because it was a box assignment (structure/other type reported fire) in this case it was reported to be a passenger train underground. I say full box response because it was the full box (every unit on the assignment) responding. I think I missed pne chief but everything else was responding in this video.

[@LSModder]

Ok, thanks so far. Can I assume that the city is split into boxes? So that all units in the box are responed to the fire?

[@amott919]

Keano Neumann No. The term box comes from "fire boxes" that used to be on the street that people would pull if there was a fire. They still use the terminology eventhough the fire boxes are no longer around. A dispatch for this would be, for example, "Box 4377, Aramingo Avenue and Cambria Street, fire is reported at.... reported to be.... following companies will respond...."

[@LSModder]

Ok, thanks for the explanation. And I think there is a plan with the units which will be respond to the scene, right? Is there a homepage with this informations?

[@amott919]

[@YelpBullhorn]

I think the differences in how US fire departments and UK fire services respond are quite marked. In the U.K. fire appliance drivers are taught not to antagonise other road users at red lights. They tend to come up behind them, turn the sirens off and wait for the lights to change to green before turning the noise back on. After all, motorists that have gone through a red light to get out of a 999 responding vehicle have been fined, believe it or not - such is the bureaucratic ridiculousness of my country (I'm British!) Also, although our emergency drivers are allowed to go through red lights, if they cause an accident, or cause some other driver to crash, then they're likely to get the sack and possibly prosecuted, such is the "where there's blame there's a claim" culture poisoning this country. So in one way I suppose the patient, courteous British approach has to be admired, as in all honesty it's their only option. Now in the US you have to admire the way crews like the ones in this clip don't give a shit about any of that UK nonsense! They make as much noise as possible and more or less barge their through. Which in these huge congested cities is really their only option. As much as I've got the utmost respect for UK firefighters, and in fact all emergency responders, personally I prefer the US model!!! Not only do they arrive on-scene as quickly as possible, it also makes for better videos! So keep it up, guys. And blast them dozy f**kers out the way!
