As someone who lived in Washington state for a long time, our fire departments take brush fired extremley seriously.

Love the camera shake at 0:46 that shit made me jump when I saw an ambulance pass by us once too

SoCal drivers will move in every direction for an emergency vehicle, except to the right.

Lots of drivers do not know how to react when a emergency vehicle is around them

I like how there are two AMR ambos and are like not doing anything to ensure the firefighters pass by

I love how that q siren starts up. What an amazing catch u got there!!!

@@socalfirebuff91377 My dad was a cop in So Cal. He started back about 1948. The requirement for the minimum solid red light forward, from what I recall him saying, is two fold. In California the only forward facing red lights allowed are emergency vehicles. The solid - as in non-flashing - is to eliminate the potential of a quick glance in a mirror, or to the sides, etc., happening at the same time as a the being in the "off" part of a cycle.

No that's not why. Wildland firefighter's utilize water management and most of our firefighting is done by removing the fuel from the fire. We need so many engines because we need the manpower and have big fires.

Do the engines of the states carry water their selfs or are they in need of a hydran instead?

You're comparing apples to oranges. On a structure fire the first due engines' officer will assume IC until relieved. The engineer has to be at the pumps to deliver water. Officers and engineers definitely do go into the fires when manpower and resources permit. On a wildland fire, it is mostly handwork so you don't need someone monitoring the pumps. Even on wildland engines the pumps don't need to be monitored as closely as they do on a structure fire. CAL Fire most certainly does the same thing as other departments do when they respond to structure fires. Wildland and structure are two entirely different types of operations.
