[POV] This Firefighter has INCREDIBLE Driving Skills

[@Per-OlofBrenegård]

It’s so nice to see people trying to really help you come thru the traffic,they are quick thinking,and that together with a very skill full driver is awesome❤❤

[@iwasglad122]

A friend of mine was a probationer fireman many, many years ago. The day came when it was his turn to drive the Turntable Ladder (the appliance featured in this video). What no one had told him or anyone else in the station was that a new road sign had been erected just outside the fire station literally minutes before the call-out. My friend pulled the massive machine out of the appliance bay turned on to the road and the overhang of the ladder completely demolished the new sign!! The local council had to replace it AND contribute to the bill for the damaged ladder!! Fun times!!

Well emergency vechle during an emergecy has prioirty above roadsigns

[@azxctr]

More of these please! Love to see the manouvering of that badass fire truck

[@QemeH]

0:54 - The engineer has more confidence in drivers than I do. I would *never* go this fast through a traffic light showing red, even on "blues and twos". There are just too many distracted dumbf*cks who ram into you and then say "but the light was green"...

[@GamingNL14]

True

[@Thug-12Na]

They trained to know how to get tru the traffic even if some dumbasses dont respond so quick. In the Netherlands ppl learn how to react to this.

[@timderks5960]

He has a clear view of the entire intersection, and people actually get proper driver's education in the Netherlands. I'm not saying there are no distracted idiots, but there's a lot less of them over here.

[@QemeH]

@@timderks5960 Yeah, that's been my experience as well. I'm a paramedic in a city right on the german-dutch border and my colleagues and I always have this quip: "Look for the yellow plates! They drive slow, but they get out the way fast." - because it is really noticable how much better dutch people react to sirens than german people

[@jimmywr32]

great video

[@TheUnknownDutchman]

I’m surprised this caught your attention. Many many more, and way more intense, examples of Dutch Driving. You might want to check Kazerne Baan.

[@Thug-12Na]

Diff city Rotjeknor but also very busy trafic.

[@JurivonStolzenberg14]

I found the most impressive driving that where they passed at speed these tiny posts left and right on cycle track. Like alpine slalom skiing😅- , are they designed to be used by emergency services ? Amazing how the public keeps themselves and firetruck alive and going. Uk is 50 years behind.

[@dikkiedik53]

Most times they are the right size... but sometimes a wooden bridge in the cycle path has a much lower strength than the weight of the fire truck. I have seen that happening, while on my way to work.. The lucky part was the driver kept the gas on and like in a cartoon.. the boards broke under the last wheels, but the truck came to the other side and could continue. It took 3 months to repair the bridge. It was in my commute cycle route to the police station where I worked. Things happen...

[@epicsports24]

Thank you everyone! I bumped my small toe against the bed and everyone came to the rescue. I was eventually airlifted to the nearest hospital where i was helped by sweet nurses with warm blankets and hot cocoa.

[@joffryvangrondelle]

keep on dreaming… 🤦‍♂️

[@Demun1649]

We need to know about the people. This series is about emergency responders, and responses, to help people in trouble. Why no information on the success or failure of the run? When I was a paramedic, I knew the result, and it was, mostly, a great relief, a few times, the minority, sadness. But we should always remember that these are REAL LIFE, and the people matter.

[@Mr.McGarbage]

Because of strict privacy laws. a route to a location is allowed but no further knowledge about the person or incident seeing as people can maybe trace it back to people involved. next to that a lot of the time the fire department doesnt hear anything about the incident they went to or the persons involved. As a paramedic you might speak to the doctor of the patient a firefighter is not able to do that.

[@Demun1649]

@@Mr.McGarbage I think you demonstrate the difference of someone trained to relate to their patients, and someone who is not. I don't want their name, age, weight, marital status, # of children, money in the bank, or what car they drive. Just a line saying, "The person is safe". Or, the opposite, "Sadly, this time, we arrived a little bit late due to the traffic."

[@Defianthuman]

As Mr.McGarbage has said it's privacy, the same reason the audio gets cut occasionally especially on ambulance runs when the status or information of the patient is being discussed. You get to see the drive and nothing else.

[@eddief32]

@@Defianthuman Indeed - @BrandweerLunteren had their entire channel taken offline by the Veiligheidsregion Gelderland Midden about a year or so back, because there were concerns about public privacy, going past people's houses, people at the scene who weren't blurred out, etc. Their channel is now back online, and their crew is brilliant, but Dutch privacy laws are some of the strictest in Europe.

[@kempo_95]

Yeah, even the patient condition is private information. Judging by the calm firefighters standing at the house, this was probably not a very serious incident. Probably just a patient that couldn't get down the stairs themselves and the stretcher doesn't work either. Besides that, firefighters don't usually get feedback what the condition is once a patient is transported.

Im form the nl

[@galdavonalgerri2101]

> „ Im form the nl “ Is it very tight and uncomfortable in the shape (form) you have been forced into? Or do you mean "uniform"?

Aaaaah , ,les 2 tons pneumatiques !!! C'est moche ...

pas vrai.
