I worked in a town that now has 8 stations. It is the law to yield to emergency vehicles. Most people are so courteous. I've seen dummies, but PD will pull you over and write you a very expensive ticket for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. Dumb asses!

2:02 love it when sirens start like this and horn honks.

Couple years back I was visiting NYC and staying in a hotel not far from here. I took a picture infront of the door with the memorial and the chief opened the doors and chatted to me. Was really nice of him.

Battalion 9 is quite the old vehicle, most of FDNY battalion trucks are now Chevy Silverado. That's a 2000s Ford Excursion, and the's been out of production for the better part of 15 years. Pretty cool to see they still have those older trucks.

Battalion 9, an old but beautiful unit! Fantastic catch, my friend!

Had met a Division Chief in Bermuda back in 2005...he was frustrated there were no good books in the lobby of the Pompano Beach Club we were staying at. I had a good one for him. Jokingly:, I said, "In return, I want you to hook me up on a ride-a-long in the City." About a month later, the phone rings at home...it was him. He'd done it! I rode out of this house for the weekend...awesome!

I love how the FDNY individualize their trucks with slogans and logos of their individual companies.

Damn, that Aerodync on that Battalion still put to work in 2018

This is NYC, they don't have the mindset to think creatively like that. That would mean those in city government have some common sense, which is very VERY far from the case. NYC is run by absolute incompotent morons who couldn't pass a 3rd grade spelling test. I've been in places that have compotent city governments and the system you speak of is implemented there. The emergency service vehicles are all equipped with transponders that change traffic lights to enable faster response to emergencies. Plus most of the people in those said cities actually do what's legally required and move out of the way when emergency vehicles approach with lights and sirens. Not so in NYC, those idiots don't care and don't have enough brain cells to remember it's the law to move out of the way for emergency vehicles.

That Battalion was really nice considering its old and still runs today edit: I remember hearing those sirens on 9/11. Such a miserable day

I thought the idea was to respond as fast as possible not just stroll around. The time it took to turn out they could have been a mile down the road.

Amazing how people just act as if nothing is going on and cars barely move when the lights and sirens are blasting

Can anyone tell me why they carry hard suction lines? I would think there would be plenty of municipal water available, are these guys drafting outta the Hudson?

That's cool seeing them leave the fire station like that with sirens , lights flashing & horns a blazing !!!
