Rescue 50 *Ride Along* (Screaming Q!)

[@pointly]

I love how the drivers all stopped and pulled to the side and got out of the way. Like REALLY gave the FD a WIDE berth. It's awesome to see people actually giving way to emergency services instead of not caring at all.

[@emva9063]

They pulled so far over. The driver of rescue 50 must have been dazzled by actual care from car drivers on the road.

[@Brenden_Talmadge]

I like watching these video because I love people have to move to the side in there car!

[@milesjones6851]

Yep. You ALWAYS pull over for Emergency Vehicles.

[@williamlacombe3501]

That engineer was really skilled! That heavy of a truck moving that fast, and going down a wrong way takes some courage.

[@ArmyMP]

5:00 When he went left down the wrong-way, I gasped a bit. But that was a good call and good driving.

[@Biffo1262]

Totally disagree. Drive to arrive.

[@kevoprezzo]

5:00 took the wrong way to beat traffic and pressed it on while blasting the Q Siren and Air horn like crazy 🔥🔥🔥

[@A.V.I.S.H]

Wasn't a wrong way but a one way but it was the quickest way

[@Biffo1262]

@@A.V.I.S.H Downright reckless and at speed too; I am not impressed. We drive to get there otherwise we are of no use. All it takes is one vehicle to turn left off a driveway! If there were an accident the drivers feet wouldn't touch the ground nor would the OIC"s for permitting it.

You have to love our fire service captains always direct you can't blame the captain for yelling he is the one that need to make decisions while on scene he has to get as much Intel as he can before arriving on scene

That's cool how you have a little traffic clearing strobe in the setup combo. Up down side to side powerful spot beam.

[@CWHistory]

Only way I can sleep is with a Q2B in the background with a fair amount of horn

[@mikeggg1979]

When I was a Volly the best times where in the rig speeding to a fire or accident your minds racing in a hundred directions but the adrenaline is pumping so high that it keeps you prepared. I worked for a slow house not much fire duty mostly accidents but the 1 fire I was at was my last a brush fire that almost killed me I quit afterwards. This is non a non for the weak

[@ThermoMan]

Whatever lights and noisemakers you have was working because all the traffic got out of your way in good time.

[@MilesJones-y6m]

"PUT UP YOUR WINDOW SO I CAN HEAR!" 😂😂

[@questionmarck]

I've never seen a truck with the propeller light in the front. Also when I was in middle school I was afraid to push the siren as high as it could go cause I was afraid it would shatter the school window cause of the pitch

[@donovan9356]

? You were a fire fighter in middle school? Also a lot of truck have what you called a propeller light which is a roto ray

What is the siren tone on the electronic siren? Never could figure it out.

[@A.Matt7]

Just apply the little pedal when leaving the station and hold it till you reach the scene😊😋

[@squirrelvision9163]

I'm not sure but I think they need to take Fairview to Rollridge on this one........

[@neoplan2001]

What is the metal which rotates in front of the truck thanks

[@chrimuh_hy]

The Roto-ray looks like a Fidget Spinner with lights on spinning so fast, but nope. It's a light design to get people's attention to pull over.

[@firealarm8]

So if you are not allowed to go to calls in the city what calls can you go on? What is considered a city in your area?

[@lancasterroofing8225]

Lancaster County is broke up into townships and boros. The only city is Lancaster city witch the city is staffed with paid firefighters along with Manheim township they are a combination of paid and volunteer. Lancaster city brings mutual aid volunteer companies in on anything more then a first alarm assignment.

[@lancasterroofing8225]

Lancaster city is a IAFF professional 319 local. Anything higher then a first alarm assignment brings in the platoon off duty rigs for the city along with outside city volunteer companies hence company 50 a all volunteer department is on box alarms for the city on one side of the city so when it's goes to 2nd alarm the off duty city crew gets called along with surrounding outside city units.

[@equipment-enthusiast]

Those would be called MARS lights.

[@Darren2269]

The “Screaming Q” needs to be re-installed in all emergency vehicles, vehicles today are way more soundproof than 20 years ago, I’m 52, I could hear local, next jurisdiction over cop, and fire or ambulance come over from 2 miles away. This crap they use now a day is a freaking joke…. They do there study in a controlled environment, not real life…. And the horn…. I’m a truck driver……. Want to get attention, put in a close to train Horn, their gonna hear you! My case and point made. Love your you tube videos. I always wanted to be a VFD member, just gone for weeks at a time..keep safe

[@oxygen454]

I have never seen the spinning lights in Canada here either

[@Gregwing]

Definately need some training on the use of the Q. The Q is designed to wind up then wind down to cover an array of sound levels for more attention. Just standing on the pedal is pointless and makes it worthless.

[@Fire-Rescue50]

Lol. "Q training"

[@_ohmz_electric]

It blows the motors as well. They’re not meant for long runs. Wind up and down and up and down. Not up and hold ittttrt

[@lunalie6938]

what is a screaming Q

[@IPAWS2018]

I'm sure this is a joke, but here is your answer. The Federal Signal Q, aka "Screaming Q", is an electropneumatic siren, used on firetrucks. Basically the loud siren.

[@A.Matt7]

If it ain't being held down all the way to the scene it ain't screaming

[@guesswho1231]

5:05 😱 you are driving the wrong way. I am glad y’all did not hit anyone head on

[@Hermit_Wish]

pretty sure they're emergency services are permitted to if it saves time to the call location and/or saves time in overtaking other cars.

[@MrSurvivoratlife5]

Melvin Williamson Emergency Vehicles are permitted to disregard traffic signals/direction of travel/speed limits while utilizing due regard. Think about if your house was on fire or you/your family was dying. Would you want the responders to take their time getting there waiting at every red light or taking the long way around due to a one way?

[@Biffo1262]

@@MrSurvivoratlife5 Very little due caution shown there. It was downright reckless. Sometimes it has to be done due to blocked roads but NEVER at that speed for that distance just to save a little time. You should always 'drive to arrive.'. You can pile the 'hate' on all you like but public safety comes first.

@@tomlorenzen4062 No damned good if they don't get there are they! Endangering life on the way to possibly save a life! You think that's a proportionate response?
