Peter McGovern- They are trying to get out if the way as quick as possible. In their minds moving 5 feet to the left considering they are in the left lane is the quickest option. I don't understand why so many people ask this question. I know as do most that you are supposed to move to the "right" for emergency vehicles, but sometimes your mind doesn't process things fast enough.

Arkansas Outdoorsmen not according to ifsac evoc training. a national certification. The everyday driver expects emergency vehicles to pass left, consistency ensures public safety.

I have been in Fire/EMS for about 15 years, and throughout that time I have never seen someone drive so reckless. I have held every rank in the service I know what it's like for comments that will come from the peanut gallery. You do realize if you hit someone or wrecked your vehicle going over the railroad tracks doing 92 MPH while on the cell phone none the less is reckless driving, reckless endangerment of the other motorists around you, among other things. Most Vehicle and traffic laws let emergency vehicles exceed the speed limit by 10 or 15 Miles Per Hour at the most not 30 over the speed limit when you are already late to the party. Your ability to use due regard as an emergency vehicle operator is unbelievable and I would suggest slowing down before you hurt someone or you hurt yourself. Unbelievable and these are the people who they allow to have lights an sirens in there personal vehicles. Typically Jolly Volly one fire per year and they spank it all the way to the call. 2nd alarm either it was just wrapping up and you made it to the end or that was a ridiculous command decision to strike a 2nd alarm. Would you look at that you rushed 95 Miles per hour to get there in time for over haul. Great job there Chief Great job! I hope I never end up in your district because that was nuts.

[@michaelmontecalvo8456]

I realize this was over 5 years ago but the science doesn't change. The reason people don't move over sooner is not necessarily their fault. In emergency services everywhere support vehicles are usually equipped with 100 watt siren systems. Law Enforcement, fire dept. support vehicles and some EMS are equipped that way unless they are specifically designed to have bigger batteries and alternators installed. Fire apparatus do... The Chief did a fine job responding but did you catch his speed during the response? A few times he reached speeds over 80 mph. According to the National Safety Council and others once your speed exceeds 60 mph you are outrunning the sound of your siren. The driver hears it but the public does NOT until you are on top of them. At 40 mph your siren is heard only 10 - 15 feet in front of you. Couple that with how quiet a vehicle interior is, radio playing, kids carrying on, etc. it is very possible those drivers don't know that EV is there until the last second. And yes, there are those drivers that just don't give a damn!

[@lom3ardo]

[@stephenwallace2563]

You need to watch your videos and just ask your self . I delayed 25 min. is it worth driving to the point that I might kill someone on the way. I'm a retired Fire capt./Ems and worked as a medic for the Swat team. If a cop saw you driving like that here in Florida he would have fallowed you to the scene wrote you some tickets. In your Pov the laws are not the same as if you were on the fire truck. you can't go into oncoming traffic , you have to stay in the left lane and stop at traffic lights before going and 15 mph over is the max. This is to help you now the laws. I retired after doing this for 35 year and seeing some young firemen get killed driving their Pov on a call(killed 2 firemen an a child) all over going to fast. I wish you the best and my god bless you

[@paintballgaming1090]

Stephen Wallace I doubt that will all those spelling errors your response laws are different then his and he cleared the intersections beautifully he didn’t blast through them he stopped and cleared them 15 over is also not true in my state we are allowed to do 70 no matter what the speed limit is

[@JJGeneral1]

Maybe for the volly's that aren't line officers. I know here in PA, the lower guys have blue lights and can't run red lights, or go through red on intersections. They're called "courtesy lights"... aka "can I get by you so I can get to the station faster". But the red lights/sirens on chief's vehicles and POV's.... you can go through intersections once clear (on red) and speed.... so yeah. also, chances are that 100% of the time, the cops who "would be following you" are going to already be at the scene, and won't even see you responding...

[@Ninja-qm8bp]

Actually, depending on the state, he may be considered an emergency vehicle, which I believe he is. Here in Wisconsin, an Emergency vehicle MAY, proceed into oncoming traffic, proceed through stop lights and signs (after slowing to clear the intersection), and much more.

[@THEFINALHAZARD]

Good vid overall. Only suggestion would be a deeper toned siren than the halls, like a Carson, ppwercall, or such. Doppler effect is a bitch for road clearing. It's a problem that has plagued falls for years.nalternarively a higher volume output could counteract that. Do disagree with comments saying to get a rumbler or a eq2b. Eqbsuffers from the same Doppler effect problem, and the rumbler has a remarkably short range, resulting in the same "moving when 5ft away" issue here. Sadly can't fix stupid in drivers so have to do what you can instead
