I like how the driver said that "maybe the rain would put it out"

The driver/engineer looked cool, calm and collective the entire time. Great driving.

Great video, The driver/operator demonstrated excellent responsibility while responding to this incident. I try to review most of the response videos and this one is the Best One that I've seen.

@EightOneZero Thanks! It's always a pleasure to receive comments from other fire guys out there. The storms had gotten so bad that day that every nearby unit were away on calls. We were heading to territories 17-25 km out from our own. Normal response times for our units average around 4 minutes. You're very fortunate to work in such a beautiful region. I trust you don't get the same kind of nasty electrical storms as we do in July.

I love these videos, I think Firetrucks and Ambulances are cool. Firefighters and Paramedics are really modern day heroes, they help and rescue people everyday. When I'm driving and I see an ambulance or firetruck coming I immediately get the hell out of their way cause I know their in a rush so I can riiight over and put my single on and I'm like yeaaaaah, go go go go go help people.

im a driver my self at the fire dep. in the netherlands and im very impress the way you guys drive thru the traffic keep up the good work

I remember sitting in the cab for my first fire call, I was never so worried/alive/anxious at the same time.

nice to see people are just as considerate to emergency vehicles out there as they are in MN

@aussiefire123A Though a bit long, I'm real glad you like the video my friend. It's always a pleasure to see generous responses from our counterparts in Australia. Thanks for watching!

Guess the camera may have changed my perspective but damn, that driver shows real confidence in his engine

Well, Thank You my friend! It's always great to find comments from all you guys from overseas. Thanks for watching sir!

Nice responsible driving and intersection approaches!

best response video ive ever seen

awesome driving...keep up the good work

Thanks for your comments! Stay safe my friend.

what the driver is showing there is a wonderful response, save fast and splendid ! wowthe driver knows what he is doing, god bless that engine and the crew on every run ! greez Chris, FDNY

My first call was a wood chip fire. Captain told me to go join the crew that was STANDING on a BURNING pile of wood two stories high. I looked at it, literally said to myself, "I'm going to die," then hiked up that mound of fire.

This is amazing how many people I'm watching you drive past that are NOT moving for the sirens and lights. This is my biggest pet peeve. We nearly lost an engine and two FF's the other day because as we were making a turn with the lights and sirens on some guy thought he could squeeze in and sped up to get past us, nearly totaled the engine and would've probably killed himself in the process. Definitely a "near mis" thank God.

Great Job with the Whelen siren at the intersections!

@FilmLou Whoa.. .Me as your driver?! Man, you've got a great sense of humour! Thanks for sharing all your marvelous videos Lou.

Fine driving that fire apparatus sir!!

@TheEMS41 Thanks for watching. And thanks for the props brother! You FDNY guys are what we all want to grow up to be. Godspeed to you my friend.. Petey B, Cobb Co Engine 2-5.

@DieselFrdChikn HELL YEA BRO! SHOUT OUT TO THE FIRE SERVICE MAN. i'm a emt-1st responder right now and a junior fire fighter

Awesome driving guys, especially considering the weather conditions, I too would love to hear a q siren on our fire trucks here in Australia

Great vid and just wanted to say stay safe out there as well. Chicago FD lost 2 of their own this morning battling a fire. So be safe and careful. Keep up the good work

Thank you & thanks for watching.

@aussiefire123A Thanks for watching my friend. You're way too kind. It would truly be a real pleasure to visit Australia some day to learn new things from our professional counterparts there.

Thanks very much for your comment Ash. You're correct on the "Q". It is in fact a round pad on the left floorboard that you'd modulate with foot pressure. Next to the Federal Q pedal immediately to its left is the air horn pedal as well. Unfortunately however our horn's air supply mechanism was malfunctioning that shift. Pete

keep up the good work and stay safe!!

god save this guys and the rig on every run ! great response perfect driving the rig. :) Greez Chris, FDNY, Ladder 4 :)

I felt the same way, first call was a structure fire, we had to have 2 other departments come in. Well, I wasn't really in a fire engine, rode in one of our member's Jeeps, she brought me straight to the call since all of our guys had already gotten there.

good quick fire call

The drivers seat looks like a mini office space =D

That wail and yelp sounds like our British appliance sirens

Wow, that looks really fun to drive!

@chechnya You're too kind. Thanks very much for watching.

Dude being a firefighter means doing a whole lot more than fighting fires. Fires are actually like the least common call you will get as a firefighter.

That sounds like an older model q...love it!

A great Pierce! Great Cab.

Our Federal Q's air supply mechanism was badly malfunctioning. It sounded like a wounded goose the whole shift. When it does work, the thing's pretty loud. Our dept prefers us to keep a close ear on radio traffic so we don't use the Q any more than necessary. Thanks for the props and your comments.

good driving that Siren q is sick bro

@deathmasta455 You sat through those 8 minutes AGAIN?! Thanks Man! Glad you like it!

Great driving!

You're far too kind my friend. Thanks very much for your comment.

@fireman3130 Hey man! You sure can. Glad you like it enough to put it on FB. Wished there was something more exciting to see when we got on scene though.

@Patches459 You're way way too kind... To my department's credit, we're all trained to operate our emergency apparatus as such. I really appreciate your comments.

@Dthorn912 This engine was a hand-me-down from a busier station. It's worn, though it's not in terribly bad condition. The air horn air supply could be better but with judicious use, it's effective enough. We've passed up an opportunity for a newer 2005 Pierce from another station simply because our 2002 Pierce is one of the last engines in our department that's still equipt with a conventional booster hose reel.

@Firefighter5130 Hey, Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

@jrmywbrwr Hey thanks very much. I really appreciate your kind comments and I'll certainly keep those Chicago firefighters in mind as well. Take care my friend.

excellent driving!

I really can't wait to start fire school!!!! By far will be the coolest job ever!

@SNS8R03 Thanks! Thanks for watching! No I don't either... The siren controls are all now within easy reach of the driver in our newest fire trucks however.

@dnegaf I'll certainly agree with you as well. A professional appearance in our field goes a very long way. I was definitely "pushing it" back then. I apologize to you sir. Telling you to lighten up was uncalled for. I am grateful for your comments and I do thank you for watching these videos.

Thanks for your response, I wasn't having a go at you as a driver, from what I have seen you are obviously a good considerate driver, a good deal better driver than some I have seen in the many cab ride videos posted. In terms of personal appearence I think how an individual looks (proper uniform/PPE) goes a long way towards giving the right impression to the public, the people we serve. I apologise if I offended you, my comment was more aimed at your FD's policy. 'I am cool'.

@MilitarysBestPilot Both front occupants can operate the Q via two pads located on the left sides of the foot wells. Next to those pads are the air horn pads as well. Most officers usually let the driver operate the Q at their own discretion.

Great video, i am going to be a JR member of the wayne nj fire department in about a year, and trust me i dont even think we run that long

really impressive, I like so much american fire trucks ! Great video btw ! A french guy

Cobb county u guys rock i used to work for Grady ems, and i lived in kennasaw for a wile

great video!

@BOHEMIONASF Hey! Thanks so much for the compliment. It's not my intention to show off any of my driving techniques. I just wanted to take everyone on a fire engine ride!

OK, got the info now. This is Cobb County FD Engine 25, based out of Station 25 in Marietta.

@TheEMS41 Much thanks my friend. God bless you and the FDNY too!

this looks so FUN!!!!!!

@beezel08 You're too kind my friend. Thanks for the props.

Wow ! thanks for your honesty,lol i guess you are one of the few firefighters that prob isn't a drama queen .

@USAGamingMW2 Thanks brother, You take care and stay safe as well!

Good luck man!

Great FD u got there! Stay safe! See ya at the big one!

that q siren is sick

You're brilliant.

@DieselFrdChikn thanks man you be safe and take care out there

@dangerjp Thanks and good luck with your venture in firefighting.

@JuzG85 Thanks! You guys have features on your rigs that we would like to have as well. We always get nasty thunderstorms during the middle of summer here in Georgia. Nowadays it's almost a matter of when and not if you'd become involved in a traffic accident while enroute to a call. Standing on that federal Q sure gets everyone's attention though.

@OBAMAWOLF I really appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching.

@nocoloATV Thanks! Thanks for watching also!

We were standing in at a neighboring station. Yes, our battalion was spread far & wide that afternoon.

Lol, just finished watching this vid... AGAIN! Anotehr great video! :)))))

Your Officer in the pass seat needs NOT to be affraid to hit that "Q". Let it do it's traffic clearing work! LOL

I felt like I was gonna throw up the first time I went to a structure fire because I was so nervous/anxious haha

Thats good driving bro.

The officer got excited when he heard "fully involved" haha

@FireExplorerPC Heck man, we're practically neighbors!

ahhh! I LOVE that sound!

make it more noticible, people can get accustommed to hearing the same tone from a distance, and when the tone changes. they notice it

@rocketman5989 Thanks & Yes,north of the ATL in Kennesaw,GA

Me personally, I can't say that I like the engines that are overseas. Now that s based off looks alone. I will say thelevel of training and and the relative quickness in which you guys respond.

The fire station that you're presently assigned to IS the best station of course! But seriously, Cobb Co is a fine dept. You won't go wrong there. Changes are constant but you'll be guaranteed some of the best fire training afforded to anyone in the profession. Be prepared for a thorough & lengthy hiring process. In the meantime, finish college and you'll be ready.

@dangerjp Thanks, glad you like it! I use an old 2004 Canon 8 megapixel S80 recording video at full HD (1024x768). Nah, got nothing exotic by any means.. . I just duct tape the camera to our thermal imager's charging base that happens to be conveniently located in the right spot. Good luck with your own setup! Tell me how it goes...

my fist time I didn't get out the truck for a few seconds

@Stealthguy06 Thank you sir!

Yep, it's Cobb. At 7:02 he drives by Out of the Blue Hair Salon in Kennesaw. I don't know the engine number, if I find it I'll reply again.

Good drving brother. Tell LT. Cobb zack said hello.

I love it ;)

@DieselFrdChikn thank you

@tspragg1 Thanks for watching!

@wcofpr Thanks man!

first call was a house fire thought i was gonna shit bricks
