Volunteer Firefighter Station Response #2

[@angelscreed4572]

respect for stopping for the bus, not a lot of people would do that while responding

[@grantraley5023]

As Emergency Vehicles are responding, we are required to stop for school buses

[@Iceobelisk1]

I always give the bus the right of way regardless if I’m responding or not. That’s why you heard me kill the siren and downgrade the lighting.

[@ZakChlebowski]

This is cool to watch as im a volunteer fire fighter in Poland, im surprised you live that far away from the station, im only within 5 minutes but i still take my POV.

[@Iceobelisk1]

I was at a friends house hanging out with them when the call dropped. I live just around the corner from my station so it usually takes me about 4-5 minutes running code to get to the station

[@ZakChlebowski]

@@Iceobelisk1 Ah that would make sense, its a requirement here that you must live within 10 minutes of a station in order to even be a volunteer. But whenever I'm more than an hour or so away and my pager goes off i tend not to go because by the time i reach the station they're already up and gone.

[@CSAFD]

Just left the FD after 23 years in Ms. My last station was only 3 min from the house

[@johnarat9618]

@@ZakChlebowski Does Poland allow sirens in private vehicles, as seen in the video?

[@ZakChlebowski]

@@johnarat9618 No, only emergency lighting

[@razrramonel4077]

In Kentucky (where I used to live) if you are responding to the station with your Emergency Lights and Siren going and end up at the scene in your P.O.V. does that mean that you are not ready.

[@Iceobelisk1]

It depends. We do our very best to avoid going to scene in our POVs because it crowds the scene that much more and gets in the way and there are few people at my department that I know who has their gear in their cars.

[@WARVIATION]

that was incredible driving, thanks for your service! I want to be a volunteer FF one day

[@Iceobelisk1]

Thank you! It’s one of the best rewarding jobs I’ve done and I’m currently working towards being a career firefighter. It’s fun but it’s not for everybody

[@WARVIATION]

@@Iceobelisk1 I'm willing to lose my life to save others, i know im going to heaven when i die.

[@Iceobelisk1]

Well I hope you don’t lose your life in the line of duty if you decide to go down this path and there’s countless hours of training that go into this job and it’s not for everybody. But I wish you all the best!!!

[@WARVIATION]

@@Iceobelisk1 thank you!

Hi there our closetes fire station is 30km from us i an a volunteer for the past 23 years

[@johancoetzee1225]

I am based in South Africa

[@Iceobelisk1]

That’s awesome. Hello from the USA! :)

[@johancoetzee1225]

​@@Iceobelisk1hello from RSA

[@jaykobb.stephens2446]

East TN vollie here. They throw us under the jail if we have any kind of lights/sirens on a POV lol.

[@Iceobelisk1]

It varies from state to state on the rules and regulations along with department SOPs and their policies

[@jaydenreed7826]

i guess lights and siren mean dont stop for emergency vehicles or pull to the side huh? where did these people get their license

[@Iceobelisk1]

Down here in Texas, they really don’t move at all unless you make them

[@southerntexfireresponses9343]

What's your set up man? I have the same siren

[@Iceobelisk1]

I run a 4200 Datalink with a Storm Pro 200w siren but with only one speaker. I’m gonna be posting a pov setup soon. Stay tuned for it. I’ll probably be uploading it either Monday or Tuesday of next week. :)

[@CSAFD]

My state only the chief/ass chief is allowed sirens (which is stupid) my setup is on my channel.

[@southerntexfireresponses9343]

@@CSAFD really, we are allowed to in Texas but they have to be 360 lighting and have to have a siren on when running lights

[@CSAFD]

@@southerntexfireresponses9343 Yeh unfortunately... I've got a mustang I turned into an FD cruiser, full bar, strobes, rear deck, and grilles but can't have a siren= how stupid is that

[@markzemak2812]

Dang living so far away.

[@PhillipStewart-k7f]

Good u buy the law. Good. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@MatthewTeixeira-u4p]

not alot volunteer firefighter allowed have siren only chief officer

[@Iceobelisk1]

I’m a basic firefighter but where I live, we’re allowed to have sirens on our vehicles with certain certifications obtained through the department.

[@brandonmiller4384]

Why are you switching between code 3 and code 2?

[@Iceobelisk1]

I only downgraded to code 2 when there wasn’t a lot of traffic around but when I hit the heavier traffic, I would go back up to code 3

[@kennethanderson-co7fw]

I do that with the ambulance. If the traffic is light and at night.

[@MatthewTeixeira-u4p]

are you chief officer
