SharksRule86 it's called the jake brake or the engine brake , the engine slows the momentum saving the brakes!

[@michaellawson5237]

Funny how I see the station before we got all the new stuff. Being a cadet at this station is the greatest thing on earth. Full of excitement and adrenaline.

[@jazzbutterworth]

Lightforce is an engine & ladder that always respond together. There's a separate engine that responds by itself. It takes the bulk of the calls. Lightforce usually only responds if the "stand alone" engine is out, or a ladder is needed.

[@ph11p3540]

Love the Jake Brake on that Caterpillar engine Sweetest sounding engine.

[@WLAs_Finest3x]

Oh, so the Caterpillar engine is what comes on these LaFrance trucks? I see some of these trucks sound like they've had the engine and the Jake brakes replaced. They suck lol

[@joshroten3997]

That is a Cummins diesel on those ALF/LTI TDAs. My FD bought the same ones as LA City. Good rigs!

[@justinjwr]

Imagine your house is burning down, and some idiot thinks he should run across the street instead of waiting, holding up the engine coming to save you....

Great job keeping calm & patient at the wheel. Insane traffic & pedestrians! Thankfully seems most drivers were quick to maneuver out of the way. Stay safe! 🚒🇺🇸

[@steelswarfs]

What...a...cluster...Hats off to those guys.

[@KillerTruffle]

3:28 is perfect California self-centered attitude. Pushing a BABY STROLLER in front of a Code 3 fire engine, because it's more important that they get their baby safely in front of the emergency vehicle than it is for the truck to get to the emergency.

[@MrAkabatman916]

Yes the training and certification is called EVOC - Emergency Vehicle Operator's Course. I am EVOC certified, and trust me, it's hard. They made you maneuver an emergency vehicle in ways that just seem unnatural haha. I am ambulance operation qual'd and I can tell you, driving at high rates of speed against oncoming traffic is a helluva rush!

[@TIMCOWBOY1971]

To all the women and men of the Fire Department thank you 🙏 for your service!

[@joshroten3997]

I grew up in Hollywood and attended Hollywood High School (where 27’s made that right turn from Sunset Bl. onto Highland Av.) 27’s has always been a great house!

[@psychocuda]

Fire truck blasting through LA, people stuck in an elevator, lights flashing, and security attendants be like "Hiiiii!"

[@kingjames8283]

I'd say more than likely, all that traffic was leaving from Hollywood Bowl. That outdoor amphitheater holds just over 18,000 people hence all the cars and buses. That is a very difficult place to get away from after the concerts are over. Been there, done that.

[@MrCliffordBrooks]

Impressive driving through all of that traffic by the buses. Sucks to drive through Hollywood like that, especially down Vine -_-.

[@CobraEmergency]

Blimey that was a pretty damn awesome video! Loved that driving - and into oncoming heavy traffic! Great job by that person who stopped the traffic crossing just where 76 had crossed. Nicely filmed with that Engine passing and then your LightForce. And that was pretty hilarious watching firefighters go around in golf carts!

[@alecherrera2001]

How many orange cones died on this run! Orange cone lives matter too😀🍀

[@KandiKlover]

4:28 lololol RIP cones.

[@enginegoesphotography3794]

It's got something to do with Task Forces as a whole. The staffed engine in the task force, in this case Engine 27, would pull right up to the fire with the truck. Then Engine 227, the second engine, would make the hydrant. I'm really sure on the whole thing but that's what I can gather.

[@IAMMARSHY]

The computer showed the location being the philharmonic... I could have sworn there was a another station within a couple blocks of there near the civic center....

WOW, what in the world was up with all of the busses lined up one behind each other?

[@xxMARKUSss]

When ever the hollywood bowl has events that's what they do

[@MrFlyboy1313]

Those buses are the shuttles that run from the outside parking lots around the city to the Hollywood Bowl on event nights.There is a large fleet of around 40 buses per big event

[@KandiKlover]

Should fine them for making unnecessary traffic like that.

I noticed a lot of the interior view the truckk was going up and down..is that my imagination or is that the orad or the shocks

[@pizzasubs]

I like how they hook up those exaust tubes to the engine's exaust pipe(s) so when they start them up all of it goes straight outside of the building. but the one I keep on forgetting and I do apoligize for asking again but since I am seeing those 2 fans in the window are there, does that mean that these engines don't come equiped with factory air conditioning? Great video. Thanks

[@aaronmichael7116]

Truck 27....puts the hood ornament on the centre yellow line ! Exactly what I do ! They'll move, no worries brother !!! That engine is my second favorite body structure built. The only one I like better, is the one with the open back jumpseats. Two of them. A few minor issues : hot in the summer, transmission in center of partner and I. Nighttime runs, red emergency lights in your face if you're standing up facing forward. If it's raining, you're soaked. Snowing, you're a snowman ! All in all, I like it. Today's style, terrible. Sure. More functional. More room. I also like the seats facing where I came from, not where I'm going :-) Then there's the bay doors, lol. Auto, yes please ! One guy closes then hops on rig, no thanks !! One night, new kid, door kept opening, I forgot About the sensor, lol. I had to learn fast ! Learn how to get SCBA on alot fastr than I was.

[@SternenruferinPatchouli1]

that traffic....wow!

[@mso3355]

@Brainscrewer It's a headset similar to the ones helicopter pilots wear. Everyone on the apparatus wears one. It reduces the sound of the siren and allows for hands free use of the radio.

[@navyguyhm3]

@westlyr2003 Hollywood isn't a city. It's part of the city of Los Angeles. It's the "entertainment" district of L.A., tho it does have an "Honorary mayor"!

[@pizzasubs]

I dont know how this works but after the person becomes a official member of the LAFD, do they have to take some kind of a driving test probably using these excact engines so that they can be the one who gets behind the wheel of the engine, if so, I must say I bet thats one of the hardest behind the wheel tests that there is, this kind of driving, driving the wrong way in VERY heavy traffic is one of the hardest things to do.....

I also wondered this about LAFD's Light Forces, how many crew members are assigned the engine? I know what it's role is (I think I do anyway), but does it have just the driver-operator and someone catching the seat or is it a full crew of four FFs?

[@derrickw3021]

Two . A driver and a firefighter .

[@FlorianSinatra]

do LAFD always go code 3 with a light force for a stuck elevator ? or was there something special ?

Do you shoot all the videos on this channel by yourself? Or can people send you their material? Nice video btw!

[@EMS221k]

whoa This was my response area so I would have had this call if I was on duty this day

[@ryeunn]

@eveningniteshade That's called the "Jake Brake", think of it as an engine brake, that stops the engine from providing power to the axles, then in turn the truck's mass stops it, ImRatherTall has the idea nailed

[@eddievaliant8956]

Hollywood and highland holla! All the action is there. The Oscars are there. The Hollywood bowl(which I think they're going to the computer said LA philharmonic association) all the celebrities live there...in fact was firehouse 27 the one that serviced river phoenixs overdose at the viper room? Anyone know? Edit: I totally knew they were going to the Bowl before they got there! Lol that was exciting.

[@mooo483]

@FloCp3 Whats wrong with your fire department for not sending one? Kidding, but seriously, it's just their Standard Operation procedure. The ladder carries equipment to open the elevator, and the engine and ladder go everywhere together, so that if another call comes in, they can go together, and it's good to have extra manpower at any rescue.

[@zanjani13]

that sucks especially when emergency vehicles have to get around they blocking the street

[@MrJeff832000]

sitting in the backseat here now I know what is like to ride in a firetruck lol

[@walters49]

A hard job made harder when the fire dept. has to fight traffic to get to the scene. Does LA have a system that turns traffic signals so the fire dept. can get through quicker?

[@EVModules]

Only some. LA itself doesn't have preemption signals but surrounding cities with a little better budget has them and it works quite well.

[@liammcdermott4112]

So can you give any details as to what the call was about and what all happened

[@masterchifpl12]

It's was reported brush fire as far as I know
