Rescue 50 Vehicle Accident With Fire *Ride Along/Helmet Cam*

[@michaels908]

Another fantastic video, with great helmet cam coverage. Hope there were no injuries and everyone was okay. Keep the videos coming. We enjoy them all. Greetings from Lancaster, California.

Thank you for the (scary) ride along AND the helmet cam! Good job and a great video. I trust no one was injured in the wreck other than the car, the rocks, the fence and the person’s pride. Glad the building wasn’t involved.

Great video! That's a fiery crash. 3:56 may need a bigger caution "left turn" sign with a 10mph slower speed there and not behind bushes. The turn was immediately following an uphill so kind of sneaky. The street was at least freshly paved and painted vs the Google Map version.

getting it done!

Wow 😱 beautiful 😊

We call the first siren sound the “mad max”.

I used to run with Roanoke County Fire Department Clearbrook Rescue Squad which is defunct now. We had bad wrecks US 220 South at Grahams Curve.

Another great video!

[@smithfirebuff23]

great video

Seen a lot of these FireRescue50 videos and it seems to me the fire truck always turns right out onto the road when leaving the fire house. or at least 9 out of 10 times ... just an observation ...

[@KaydenSnyder]

It’s a one way road lol

[@samelewis]

Possibly because the road is a one way.

[@KaydenSnyder]

@@samelewislol

@@samelewis Thats a good observation as well... 😂

[@richardlaw5737]

Think they only go left if it’s a really urgent response as going left is the wrong way up a one way road

[@rickylong2768]

Dang my pocket knife is sharper than that cutting blade

[@Unkn0wn_Legacy9751]

oh nah it looks like they forgot to hit the brakes 😭

[@Garden366]

Maybe they wanted to get to that back parking lot and decided a few boulders wouldn’t stand in their way….

[@RomanWar731]

I'm curious on the choice of rescue vs. engine as an assignment requested, if there was possible extension into a commercial structure like that. Does your engine not have rescue tools on it as well, so IC didn't request an additional engine? TIA for a response/explanation.

[@justie1220]

Educated guess here: my guess would be that Rescue 50 is due on the box for extrication purposes. When the First In Engine gives scene size up, that will determine if the WFD is declared.

[@justie1220]

I’d rather have the heavy rescue enroute for extrication than an engine with limited rescue tools onboard. Again, that’s just an educated guess.

[@Colejack23]

From what I know is because there was already 2 engine responding to the call but is also depends on the department

[@SFClark]

That ride made me nervous.

[@Garden366]

Me too. I found myself holding onto my sofa!

[@waeller.rescue]

😎👍

[@BetterWithBrett]

never pass on the right!

[@JohnLeaman-un4rh]

It’s a one way road

[@ThatGingerGuyCreations]

Unless I’m missing part of the scene. I don’t understand why you are shutting down the whole road with an accident off the roadway? Keep a lane open have traffic ops and pd run single lane traffic control.

[@Ryandrew107]

It creates a safety cushion for first responders if they have to walk back to their truck for something. No traffic flow is no chance of getting hit or even their units being hit. But for this particular scene, the car caught the building on fire, which means there will be more units showing up which means more hose lines stretched along the ground.

[@ThatGingerGuyCreations]

@ yes that’s understandable but they determined there was no structural fire or was put out by that point, cancel incoming units and clear the road, between that parking lot and 1 ln on a residential road was plenty of room for scene security and plenty of traffic units on scene.

[@benvarga6089]

It's definitely safer to shut down the whole road, even if just for the time the guys are getting tools/pumping, plus they might need ldh/tankers in the both lanes. They probably knew they wouldn't need it shut down for long and just stayed on the cautious side.
