It amazes me how the drivers in all the videos can navigate with such ease, guess that's all part of the training. Bless all Emergency Response personnel.

For 15 years I have worked for a fire department as a paramedic and I can say without a doubt “ain’t no job finer than one in EMS.”

Gotta love that "Strobe" feedback.

My mom and dad started their ambulance driving at 19. No governors on the engine at the time for them. My dads most dangerous call was a child drowning and they were the closest unit, only they were 10 minutes away normal traffic. He got on a straight away road (Arizona, Phoenix), and said it was the only time he had the speed dial circled around back to 10 mph (115). His crew got there in time, but he’s not sure what happened after.

must be a 1994/90's era Ford E350 based chassis, I own a 94 ford e350 ambulance, proud of it. It's my daily driver and I know the countless lives it has saved over its years of service with EMT's.

Did anyone else catch the EMT on the right saying, "TB? Tuberculosis?" and the one driving goes, "Haha, no. Trouble breathing."

I could do that ambulance driving if were possible, but that medic stuff isnt for me. Much respect for that profession.

Always send someone out to meet the Ambulance if possible. It makes life a lot easier and ensures the patient is attended to ASAP

I love the chirping noise the lights make

That was fun it felt like I was sitting in the back seat ! 😁👍

All first responders are a blessing. And all emergency vehicles are worth their weight in gold

Yes, PG is a majority volunteer dept. This particular one is right down the street from the University of MD, so you have a lot of college students that volunteer/live in with the dept.

Both the medics on this unit are so young. I wonder if they are still working as medics today? And if so they could look back on this video and see how far they've come!

For people freaking out about how they may seem incompetent, slow, whatever: They're EMT's, not Paramedics, meaning the call isn't really life or death, and rescue medics would have already arrived on scene. As EMT's driving an Ambulance, they're usually going to be for transport, not being first responding rescue. Also, the first sentence of the description says it's a Volunteer FD station, so it's no surprise they look so young and their equipment isn't too great, don't blame them, blame bureaucracy.

Actually emt,...and paramedics usually ride on the same truck, most always, you have someone who's higher up. Sometimes you have two paramedics, ATLEAST that's the way it is at all our stations here.

The LED sign listed a call on Baltimore Ave, but the ambulance was dispatched to 6000 Greenbelt Rd.

They might look professional but they’re doing what they’re supposed to be doing. This is a volunteer department so they handle calls of less urgency, but the driving to me was fine. It’s good he’s not driving too fast because he’s probably not the most experienced. He gives people some space to respond and gets to the scene in a timely fashion.

In my country it might be even slower as emergency vehicles obey speed limits & usually stop at red lights. Most of our roads are dual-carriageways too with a dividing fence in the middle so it'll be impossible to overtake traffic by going into the lanes for oncoming traffic. But sometimes they'll also 1st send another rescuer out to the casualty on a scooter (since they can reach them quicker than an ambulance, to help assess & stabilise the injury while waiting for the ambulance to arrive). I've also seen a university project here that's developing drones that our emergency/rescue services can use to send medical supplies to anyone among the general public who's first-aid trained & the nearest to any casualty to use to stabilise the casualty's injury 1st while waiting for paramedics to arrive. Besides a few volunteers our emergency services also employs conscripts, and sometimes they may dispatch a private ambulance (from companies that the government currently has a contract with, some of whom can park their ambulances at fire stations) to the scene instead of using their own

Just for fun, I actually looked up what the LONGEST ambulance trip was and even though I don't remember right at the moment how far it was, I'll tell ya right now, I really dont think I wanted to be the patient who had to lay on the gurney for the whole trip. I just found it, it's actually listed in the Guiness Book of World Records, 2,031 Miles. in a Mercedes Benz Sprinter 312 Diesel ambulance.

Hello! here's in italy in the Red Cross Facility of my town we got a what we call "stradario (strada= road) it's a list of all way of my town with indications from our base like go to X street and at second left... on my mobile i've downloaded an offline gps called OSMAND and there i've set some way points like "base" and Hospital" it's pretty easy to go everywhere without killing gigabytes or battey. Other volunteers bring therir own gps, but i prefer the offline one, it has more detail than a garmin, it's like a semi-military detail map. very useful.

+Caleb Andrew Lewis greetings. here the entire ambulance system is made by volunteers trained on six-months long course. despite of you we can't go on vein treatmeant (like adrenaline or narcan episodes) there were some ambulances with Just a medic onboard, now we got the med-car, so the meds are free to go after the patient is treated or they'll come on the ambulance. pretty different from yours, you're EMT degree is like a nurse degree

And Peewee Herman always seems to be driving!😂🤣

Nevermind playing with the electronic horn just stay on that siren at those intersections !!

Nice sirens

This reminds me of when I had to go in a ambulance cuz I had allergic reaction

5:25 this is why you don’t park in the fire lane

At 0:22 whats that loud siren called i hear it on firefighters radios all the time when they get a call

Super Video, dickes like!

ok can anyone tell me what the whirring/ticking noise is from at 4:10? I know its from the lights, but what exactly causes it? It happens on my ambulance as well.

Well done!

Love the sound of the strobe's

0:19 is that wheelock fire alarm? (Forget model number) as the signaling tone?

That station is really, really nice

very nice!!!!!!

Well in my area (Upstate NY) ambulances are identified by their number, and prefixed with either an A (ALS) or B (BLS), so for example, A6159 would be an ALS ambulance. A vehicle identified as, say, Medic 51, would be an ALS fly car, and a vehicle identified as, say, Defib 63, would be a BLS fly car. I know it's different all over, but it's just unusual for me to hear an ambulance referred to as Medic.

It looks like there's a speed limit for ambulances?

The paramedic always seems to need a barf bag in these videos!😂

Is that a 7.3 Powerstroke or a gas?

Wonderful vehicle

Hope everyone at the scene was okay

they could tell them where the call is exactly since the cops are out of the substation in the center

GPS is an aid only. Learn to map read , in the city it's much easier. I was with SAMU in Paris all we used was maps A to Z , after a period of time you pretty much know everywhere. Don't rely on GPS.

@theshortvideomaster1 No, not really too young. In PG county you get as much experience in a year as five or more years in other places. Age has nothing to do with maturity and expertise.

It's funny that so many people are complaining about GPS but in 2010 who was using it? From what I remember we were using MapQuest for long trips

Forget about the guys for a second. Listen the that dispatcher, with the rapid fire at 0:50 I mean good night, you can tell she has been dispatching for a while.

do you work there?

Yeah Fed Sig PA-300's have wind downs so you can't do it, we have them on 3 of our rigs, the 4th has the Whelen, the wind down is cool in it's own way but not really handy.

Is it just me or is it weird that just about every dispatcher over the radio sounds the same? 🤔

@fanfictionfan01

5 жыл бұрын

They often sound the same because they use a certain cadence when speaking so that the words that they use are better understood. They use vocal breaks a lot more to let the person on the other end understand and comprehend what is being said. That's why a dispatcher often sounds just a little bit like a cross between a person and a robot.

it's quite difficult to hear

That sound Like the red elite ambulance and San Francisco fire chief responding

I am an advanced care paramedic myself I love my job would never switch it for anything else
