Loving the new rumbler!

[@LunarLithos]

Awesome response man love that rumbler

[@pierruno]

Could you not drive directly to the fire and meet them at the scene?

[@JohnCoffins]

I'm not really sure how it works but I think they do that sometimes depending on the situation. I would imagine it's best to man the fire truck before anything plus they probably have intelligence from the caller who reported the fire so they probably know that nobody is in the church etc.

[@WestPartChronicles]

No.

[@tylerquast1203]

It depends on the department. Some departments require you to go to the station. While others you can go straight to scene

[@choppmonster7]

Some departments can do this. But not all do it.

[@nj_e.s.v.p4472]

judging by the white helmet in the back seat I’m assuming he’s a chief so there for he would respond straight to the scene to set up a command zone and give a intial radio report to responding units

[@witkr904]

A Trainer for use of audible signals here. 👍

[@FireEMS38]

Damn I'm 4 weeks behind! 😢sorry sir. I'm catching up tonight.

[@FireEMS38]

Calling Sandra is like me messing Tandra or voice message to let her know. 😂 but I know she uses Life 360 to see me if she doesn't hear from me. 😉

[@FireEMS38]

I'm jealous!!

[@POV-Fire-Response]

We all get busy sometimes. Good to hear from you. Hope all is well.

[@lastmst2738]

Love ur videos man

[@Bobby-y9n1z]

Love these calls 100 miles away

[@carterburton]

what dash cam is that?

[@stevensivakjr.978]

Rumbler??? That's a new thing, how you like it?

[@POV-Fire-Response]

It's the hammer from Feniex. I really did not think I would care for it. However, it seems to get the attention of drivers.

[@Sirisma]

@@POV-Fire-Response It penetrates the soundproofing in cars better from what I remember

[@FireEMS38]

STEVEN! Bro. He's always thinking ahead of me. Lol. But I'll admit he's copied me before. Soon I'll be copying him. 😂

[@stevensivakjr.978]

@@FireEMS38 hey man, I’m just here 😂😂 and if you do end up doing that, excited to see how that will go!

@@stevensivakjr.978 T is a great Deputy Chief! We learn from each other. Almost 10 hours away from US and we do the work.

Just curious, why not leave the rumblers on all the time like the cops do? That's just one more switch you have to think about when coming up on intersections. Also your vehicles actual horn shouldn't sound when you press the horn button to change patterns. And if the siren Isa off and you hit the horn, most systems will sound the electric air horn. I've also seen set ups that when you're coming up on an intersection, you change the tone to that really fast hi lo, the lights change pattern as well too where almost every light on the vehicle flashes at the same time for max visibility through the intersection, then when you cycle back to wail the lights go back to your normal position 3 flash patterns, and if you're really fancy, your position 2 switch on the lights will basically split Alli the lights into two channels, all lights are solid but they cycle back and forth for really good visibility, but it's not too much for being on scene, and if there's a while bunch of your colleagues there and receive puts their lights to position 2, just bring around each other, all the lights on every car will sync up together. It looks really cool. We've all seen where there's like 15 police cars all with their lights going full blast pursuit mode, and that's just way too much damn light after everyone is on scene. So position 2 is just much more subtle and it syncs up so it doesn't look all crazy. Sorry for the long comment. When I get to going I just type away, and I am an emergency light fanatic. Sorry if there's any misspellings, this iphone auto correct tries to correct almost every damn word I type. It's like it knows exactly what I typed and "corrects" it to something that doesn't make sense. And I don't always catch it "correcting" me.

[@POV-Fire-Response]

The hammer times out after 60 seconds so as not to burn up the amp. As far as the horn blowing with the switch of the tones, I installed the sapphire and cannot locate where my horn relay is actually located on my truck. I just wired the relay for the sapphire into one of the horns to get it to cycle. The horn sounding while changing the tones does not bother me; it may in fact help get other drivers attention. Our area does not have a light-changing system for emergency vehicles yet. If we do get the light-changing system, it will operate off of an emitter of some sort and not via tones. I have a 3-slider switch for lights as well as 18 buttons. My lights are simple and not as fancy as those in paid departments. Thanks for the question and for watching.

[@brandonlaird-brundidge5232]

Once you’ve driven a vehicle long enough you know where you’re switches are you don’t need to look to find them. By the sounds of it this is probably his personal vehicle he knows every switch

[@SlankeyDawg]

@@POV-Fire-Response I always assumed you were just being courteous because you can hear that inside.

[@donalderickson-si8ww]

NEVER TELL THE CHIEF ANY THING I NEVER DID AS A FIRE BUFF IT WAS YES SR NO SR.

[@nickmckeon5451]

What brand dash camera is this?

[@RandyLong-m7r]

Holy cow, that's some territory to cover.

[@REDLIVESGAMING]

@POV - Fire - Rescue is that a cop in the parking lot of the station. Are they also volunteer? If so how do they make it work with there department if there’s a call

[@POV-Fire-Response]

yes it is we gave 2 police officers on our department.

[@REDLIVESGAMING]

@@POV-Fire-Response How do they make it work with there department if theres a call

[@REDLIVESGAMING]

⁠@@POV-Fire-Responsedo you like driving the ladder truck? Also did you take command on this. What happens if they are on a call for Leo and there is a bad fire can they clear and go to the fire?

[@jeffpatch5]

Nice job, Chief.

[@POV-Fire-Response]

Thank you kindly

[@M0N5T3RH17M4N]

Get a siren swtich box so you dont have to honk your horn to change tones.

[@ECEmergencyResponseMedia]

I’m sure he has one. I believe he has the 21 slide. It’s a hands free mode.

[@ryandynneson4547]

Some fire fighters prefer the horn

[@justanotheraviator2357]

Horn ring is actually the preferred method, it is also more complicated to setup.

[@mrpoliceemsfire1]

Was the Officer in the truck at the station also a Firefighter?

[@POV-Fire-Response]

Yes he is.

[@nuescht79]

Ich bin immer wieder entsetzt über eure Anfahrtswege...ich empfinde diese als wesentlich zu lang...im schlimmsten Falle, würdet ihr regelmäßig zu spät kommen. Gibt es keine Alternativen? Bei uns zB gibt es, sogenannte "Helfer vor ort", die sind flächenmäßig relativ gut verteilt, dass sie zeitnah am Ort des Geschehens sind und Hilfe leisten können, bis die Rettungskräfte eintreffen.

[@POV-Fire-Response]

Leider verfügt die Feuerwehr in unserer Gegend nicht über die Freiwilligen, die nötig sind, um unseren Bezirk bei allen Einsätzen abzudecken. Im Aiken County SC. Sie haben 19 Freiwillige Feuerwehren. Aiken County hat eine Fläche von 1081 Quadratmeilen. Jetzt haben Sie zwei bezahlte Abteilungen. Die Stadt North Augusta und die Stadt Aiken. Ich stimme zu, dass einige der Anrufe wirklich weit entfernt sind. Egal wie spät ich am Unfallort bin, ich kann zumindest beim Rollen der Schläuche oder beim Wassershuttle oder was auch immer benötigt wird helfen. Vielen Dank für den Kommentar und die Bedenken.

[@nuescht79]

@@POV-Fire-Response ihr engagement stelle ich in keinster Weise in Frage! ich bin sehr froh, dass es Menschen gibt, die andere retten, und dorthin gehen, wo der natürliche instinkt eigentlich "nein" sagt! IHR seid wahre Helden!!!

Really nice safe driving 🫡

[@SavageCam_YT]

Good video right here. I’ve thought about becoming a volunteer
