- At 6:20pm Tecumseh Fire units got called to Tecumseh rd East to a multi storey apartment building. For smoke showing on the 3rd floor. Tecumseh Fire said a pot on the stove started it.
I keep coming back to this video and reading all the comments and seeing all the likes. I cannot believe this video blew up like it did. Truly excellent work
This is in Canada. How I can tell: I saw Canadian symbols on one of the fire trucks
@@randomdude440 All his videos are in the province of Ontario, and I believe the guy who wrote this comment knows it's in Canada.
yea
Those 2 trucks pulling up and parking was perfect
Putting your aerial under a tree?
@@jaysmith1408 dumbasses doesn't know what parking is
Green lights is dumb though, those are used by private security mostly. The county needs to let volunteers have proper red.
@@kishascape I think this is Canada. Who knows what they do up there?
@@kishascapeu do know each department has different lights right
Imagine risking your life and not getting paid for it, I have so much respect for volunteer fire fighters
Most volunteer firefighters are compensated. They just don't work 24hr shifts. Average in the gta for volunteer firefighters is 22$hr
@@travisbreaden9242 I know this is a year old comment, but here I go. At least here in America, specifically all of NY excluding NYC we don't receive any monetary compensation, we do it for our own pleasure, sure the department might give you a gift card if you go to 400 calls, but rarely does that happen, we don't do it for the recognition or the money.
We don't do it for money either, but it is nice incentive
@@travisbreaden9242 💀this dude , most volunteer firefighters are NOT compensated is what u meant to say
In Canada yes they are
Nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer!
That volunteer charger was just too nice
I love watching collies responding. Brings back such great memories. A sea of blue lights descending upon the station was mesmerizing at times.
can I volunteer here if I don't own a pickup truck?
goarmymp lol Yes! A lot of the guys have trucks only 4 guys have cars😂
@@OnLocation1 funny, for us in Germany both would be considered as cars
Yes
Pickup truck. The most popular choice of vehicles amongst the volunteer firefighter
But you'll need a mustache.
Fire fighters in uk stations don’t get any lights and have to adhere to all traffic laws on there way to the station. It’s weird how it’s so different across the world
I suppose the thing in UK though is there required to live or work within five minutes normal drive of the station. Whereas I imagine with lights these volunteers can come from a little further out?
Same is Australia. PV have to abide by all road laws weather going to station for turn out or straight to a job.
It‘s all the same here in Germany. Just a little difference depening in which state you‘re living. Then you are allowed to have a yellow sign on the top of your car which states „fire department“. But don‘t forget: you don‘t have any special rights, you have to follow all traffic laws including waiting at red lights even if it‘s a urget emergency case.
zwirny666 ich würde sagen dass ist immer eine Auslegungssache, auf welche ich mich nicht verlassen würde. Grundsätzlich gebe ich dir recht, aber ich würde es auch nie riskieren. Bei uns ist es zB eine Dienstanweisung gesittet zum GH zu fahren. Anderenfalls droht Rauswurf aus der Wehr u.A.
zwirny666 ich bin ganz auf Deiner Seite, sehe das genau so. Bei uns ist in erster Linie auch erst einmal die Berufsfeuerwehr zuständig, danach wir dann als Löschgruppen der FF. Trotzdem sollen wir uns dabei, unabhängig davon welches Stichwort oder wie auch immer auf dem Melder steht, wie jeder andere Verkehrsteilnehmer verhalten und normal zum GH fahren.
Warum jedoch grundsätzlich auch blaues Blinklicht oder gar Horn in D für Angehörige der freiwilligen Feuerwehr am Privat-PKW im Einsatzfall abgelehnt wird, kann ich auch nicht verstehen.
Greetings from a German volunteer fire fighter.Keep up the good work over there!
Hi! Nice catch and quick respond! It looks pretty similar in Poland but responding volunteer firefighters do not use any lights to show they are heading to firehouse. Sometimes it causes some misunderstanding, esspecially with local PD :) But if they know each other, they know what is happening :) Greetings from Poland!
Green light laws are stupid. Nobody knows what that means, firefighters are trained emergency responders just let them have red and white with siren like other places or like the fire truck they are driving to!
Thank you.
Medic 135 I completely understand!
@@OnLocation1 I thought you might! Stay safe out there
Medic 135 Always thank you!! Check out my other videos!
Medic 135 i agree!!!!
Medic 135 In Luxemburg, Europe, we dont even have the right to use (here it is blue lights) the lights or a siren in our privat car to respond .. But the Idea of green light for responding is already a good thing, but too bad that this is not allowed here ..
It is just so satisfying and exciting watching the sprints during a response like this. I love to watch it.
I like seeing volunteer POV responding, with the green light. Nice video

I'm a volunteer fire fighter in Missouri we run blue and white or just blue up front and red and blue in the back and have to have a siren in our on personal vehicle.
Tim Liley Thank you for your service
Missouri also says a Wrecker is an Emergency Vehicle, too. I watch too many Ron Pratt Videos.
@@MatthewMello Here in Kansas, we're seeing more and more tow trucks with red & blue, so if Missouri has changed their laws, that makes a ton of sense. We seem to have that weird thing with the KS-MO border. -- For example, a number of Kansas folks thought that the KS lottery was for education, turns out that is only for the MO lottery.
Man, you Americans are so lucky with being allowed to put lights on your car. Us Germans are only allowed to put a yellow plastic sign on the top of our car, that says " Firefighter". Nothing more. It's not even allowed to add some lights to the sign, so during darkness nobody can even see it
Domi nik This is Canada
actually, the sign is allowed to have a light, but it has to be a steady light, meaning it cannot flash
@@Fofi647 Nee.
Peter Nichtlustig Also, soweit ich weiss, wird es geduldet.....is zumindest bei uns in der Umgebung so
@@Fofi647 Dulden und erlaubt sind nochmal ganz verschiedene Sachen.
Very interesting to see what different departments take first on a fire. There has always been a big debate on what should roll first the truck or the engine. My opinion is to take the truck first because if you cant get a good placement for the truck it limits it capability and then you have a very useful tool sitting on scene not being used. Also considering the truck in this video has a pump and handlines. I want to hear other opinions as well on this.
You can always get more hose, can't get more ladder!
Nice video!!! It's amazing to see how in other areas green lights are used, Here in FL green is for security.
Same here.
It’s so weird how different volunteer colors are across the world. I’m a volunteer on Long Island, and I have blue lights in my car. You can use any color you want as long as red is NOT in the front. We can’t have sirens though
Where I live, we can have red and white all around the vehicle, with blue in the back. Sirens are allowed as well, I personally have an Whelen Liberty LED Lightbar, with more LED's on the side, and in the back.
Discraser My department doesn’t allow lightbars, but one of our neighboring ones does. I don’t understand why I have to drive normally to the station with my “curtsey” lights, just so I can get in a vehicle with a siren. NY needs to change its laws
@@aac2500 I'm in Saskatchewan, Canada. Our volunteer firefighters, when permitted by municipality bylaw, may use red lights and sirens in their private vehicles, provided that they got the fire chief's ok, SGI has inspected their vehicles, and the RCMP is notified of the part time emergency use of the vehicle. Then they must pass a SEVO (Saskatchewan Emergency Vehicle Operator's) course run by the Saskatchewan Provincial Fire Commissioner.
The backstory behind this is some Estevan Volunteer Firefighter named Travis Olver ran a red light in town while responding to a truck fire. They didn't have anything back then, so a cop stopped him and gave him a $220 red light ticket. So Travis Olver fought the ticket in court, but he lost. The judge did bump the fine down to $70. Then Premier Brad Wall got the provincial legislature to come together, and out came this law. Been like this since April 1, 2009.
And yes, Estevan is a town, but they're big enough for a few traffic lights anyway.
Fascinating. In NC if we used blue lights we'd be charged for impersonation. Only red and white (with hazard lights on of course) for POV's, while still obeying all traffic laws except speeding. For speeding we're allowed to exceed "with due regard" for road conditions, traffic, etc. Lights on POV's here are a request to yield ROW from other drivers - and they don't have to honor the request!
Great video! I love watching the vollie's arriving at the hall. Not really something a lot of people enjoy, but I like it. This kind of video is one of the few like it.
Currie Emergency Photography Feel free to look at my channel for more video like this. I’m glad you enjoy it
I would have green and red.
TheJakeman789 I’ve been complaining for years about they should be red! But they can’t it’s too much of a reliability issue ( don’t ask why because it’s not worth the argument ) :)
@@OnLocation1 that's government for you. Ask them what logic is and they wouldn't know... Smh
Green is usually left for use by EMS personal nation wide.
@@OnLocation1 those who make the laws usually have no clue about the job.
@Aragorn90 ok. Back when i was 1st responder Ems we were told green light nation wide. But like somebody said " most folks have no clue what it means". I think all Vol. Fd/Ems should have at least red lights and sirens. But sadly most consider VOL. FD/ EMS as not being real since they do not do it for a living. Which is a shame. Folks who do it as a VOL do it more as a sense of pride and service to the community that they live in. When did doing something in the VOL status become something to look doen at?
It cracks me up how commissioners don’t want their volunteers to have lights and sirens. In my county they recently had a fire during the middle of 5 o’clock rush and people were trapped and seriously injured because the volunteers were stuck in traffic.
Although I've personally not seen a volunteer station that does not allow members to respond with lights, it seems weird there are stations in places that don't allow it or its against the law. I volunteer at a joint EMS/Fire department and I'm strictly EMS and live about 40 min from the station. Even I have lights, even though I never use them. (Red, white, and green. Really red is the only color that we have special permissions to, white and green are mostly if not entirely unregulated and can be used by anyone ). Our main station is always staffed with enough crew to send at least 1 ambulance and 1 truck immediately 24/7. Other volunteers can respond to the station to get whatever else is needed. But I feel like we are an exception, not a rule. I believe most other VFDs in the area do not have an actual "on duty" staff that stay at the station on shifts. So I guess for us it wouldn't be such a big deal if no lights were allowed. But since I believe most stations operate on a respond from home system, it does seem dumb that some places do not allow lights at the least. But I'd guess somewhere deep down in the laws it could potentially result in liability for the city/department if a member crashes or injures someone during their response. Like here, if we are responding in our own vehicle, we are only requesting right of way. Once we are in the ambulance it becomes demanding right of way. Since we can use the same colored lights here though, the general public isn't gonna know they can ignore our personal vehicles.
@@armacham230 Here in Saskatchewan, Canada, our volunteer firefighters use red lights and sirens in their private vehicles. They must have a bylaw in their local municipality that permits the possession of such devices. Then they must get the chief's blessing to use the warning devices. And finally, they must take a course run by the Saskatchewan Fire Commissioner.
P.S: If one municipality doesn't have a bylaw permitting the use of red lights and sirens in private cars (as is the case in my town), you cannot use the lights and sirens, and you have to follow all traffic laws.
@John Arat Funnily enough, I now live in New Hampshire about 80 miles from the Canadian border. The laws here are different from what was described in my original comment. It's much more straightforward here, we can use red/white lights, but no siren, and they are not courtesy lights. It is required by law to pull over for any vehicle displaying red/white lights and while activated you have permission to exceed the speed limit and other maneuvers which would normally be against traffic laws. Technically, you are supposed to have a letter from your departments Chief authorizing you to operate the lights, but no one really does it.
@@armacham230 Same in Manitoba!
@@armacham230 And I must assume your chief doesn't give a damn, right?
Here in Poland volounteer firefighters are so excited in case of emergency call that they act like they lost their minds. I cant imagine what would happen on streets if they could use "blue lights" one their private cars to reach fire stations. Often the volounteer driving his car like crazy to fire station is more dangerous than the reason of emergency call. So here is my appeal: stay cold blooded guys!
Wish there was a volunteer department near me to work at, I'm training at my local department which is career but I would love to also be a volunteer for a surrounding department.
In Indiana green lights on a vehicle means volunteer EMS and blue lights means volunteer fire some have both
Where I live all Fire, EMS & Volunteer Vehicles have Red, White & Amber Lights.
Green Lights are Security Vehicles.
Blue Lights are Law Enforcement Vehicles.
I liked seeing all of those Silverado's pulling into the parking lot with lights flashing and then seeing the guys hustle to the trucks. I drive a Trail Boss and have the Speed Turtle Engineering module and a windshield mounted red light. We can't have blue lights in my state.
Wow, excellent vidéo ! Je suis surpris de voir que les pompiers ne restent pas en caserne. J'avais vue un vidéo de TVA Nouvelles sur une apparition du feu vert dans le véhicule personnel des pompiers.
Il s'agit d'un service d'incendie volontaire et ils interviennent de chez eux dans leurs véhicules personnels.
I love the fact that Ohio and Kentucky allow volunteer firefighters to use red lights and sirens. We are truly blessed in this capacity!
Ontario just passed a law that sirens can be fitted to POVs now. So it will be Green Lights and Sirens on POVs.
I was a volunteer 2 times. Both times, lights and siren were mandatory if you were going to run them....and not one or the other, but both if the call required it. Amber/ Red/ White, Amber/ White, Red/ White.
@@mrnorthwestohiodude7758 When did this happen? And can you provide a link please?
Is this Tecumseh, Ontario near Windsor?
Interesting how different the emergency lighting regs are from jurisdiction to jurisdiction in North America. Pennsylvania, New York(?) and New Jersey allow volunteer fire fighters to use blue flashing lights, but they're considered 'courtesy lights,' like green lights in Ontario. However, here in Ohio, many law enforcement agencies use only blue flashing lights, and it's an offence not to give way to vehicles running them.
Then there's Ontario, where flashing blue lights mean 'snow plough'.
Absolutely great catch.
Sweet video man!
Fireguys235 Emergency Photography Thank you! I like watching your videos!
Damn it makes me so proud to see this!! God speed!!
I'm a volunteer Firefighter in my community and in Texas and in my county turn lights and siren you have complete Emergency Vehicle Operations course and have 360° view on lights
Nice response! I serve near lindsay in kawartha lakes! Stay safe out there!
in the UK the volunteers would need to wait in traffic, no lights would be allowed on personal vehicles. our ambulances even wait at a red light so they don't scare people because the standard driver don't know how to move out the way. nice to see they give you lights as every second count.
yeah the light laws are crazy how they differ so much especially in the US alone. I live in Texas and police, fire/volunteer, and ems can all run red, blue, white, and amber except for fire and ems you cant have white to the rear. Even back before the laws changed and we could only run red, white, and amber people never wanted to yield even with sirens. the color is also left at the discretion of your chief.
Over here in NZ no lights, just volunteers getting to the station
Seems like we miss out a bit aye. No lights, No siren & and only at normal legal road speed just to get to the station. I think we do need something to help with our turnout timing.
@@SnowmanAndFred650 pretty much right
Wow, nothing like 2 vollies making the mad dash to the hall ! I'm referring to the ff in the maroon truck blowing by a stopped car, and the stop sign, coming onto Lesperance Rd. He cuts off his own ff. in the black pick-up truck (which describes half of what Tecumseh FD drives I see) who, may I add, shows how much he likes to run by parking so far away from the bay :-). Next, there's no secret who the fire buff is on the job. The dark grey charger has more green lights than a 1970's discotech :-) !! I'm guessing he's a red helmet too ! Am I right ? Anyways, good work ! And people, watch those pots while cooking. Don't cook and pass out. That happens soo often !
Ever think the FF in the maroon truck, if you want to call that a "truck" ;), got waved on by the person in the silver car? They appear to be stopped and then pull to the stop sign when he passes leading me to believe they stopped for him. He didn't cut anyone off and that is painfully obvious but I guess it's all about being over dramatic here. When the guy pulls out the Chev is just past that yellow sign. He probably never even touched his brakes.
in the UK green lights are for emergency doctors some times u see them mixed with our normal blue lights as well
wow, nice to see every other car holds still when firetruck comes...
I noticed the same. They didn't even need to stop but just continue slowly. Good reactions!
@@eesti919 yeah exactly :)
Lights and no sirens = POINTLESS
Mostly illegal on POV
I run blue lights in pa and many people dont pay attention when you're behind them. It would help to have a siren also
I’m not a keyboard warrior asshole. It’s unsafe to run lights with no siren. Like I said.....ITS POINTLESS. 🖕🏻🖕🏻
Mr Sunshines Made my night by looking at this! 😂
Lights and no sirens means urgent without delay. Also referred to code 2.
I wish I had lights on my own car when I was a volunteer for riverside county calfire
I love how they stop on both lanes. Doesn't happen everywhere I'm the world
I'm more surprised at the fact people are actually moving over...
Please bear in mind: Everyone is employed. It's a voluntary fire department!
I live in a small town in Scotland and all the fire stations have only retained firefighters. Unfortunately the fire station does not have enough firefighters as they only have 9 whilst in an ideal world they would have 12+. They need 4 to go to a call, and unfortunately last week there was a large residential fire about 100m away from the fire station but they couldn’t do anything because they only had 3 guys available. This means they had to wait 30+mins for other fire stations to respond who are a decent distance away. By this time, the fire had completely gutted to flats with everything destroyed..
hamish ashcroft That’s crazy, I wish there were more fire stations in places like that
Pas mal les gyrophares sur les véhicules personnels des volontaires, un jour en France pour les SPV d’astreintes ?
I live about 15 mins away from my fire station and can make it there in 10 mins can I still make the second truck in time or will I still miss it?
Depends on the response from the other department members. I can make it to my station in 5 minutes and sometimes miss the engine but can usually catch the ladder. Even if you do miss it, it is good to have some guys back at the station to bring extra equipment if needed.
Protecting their community.
Is it really by law allowed for respoding firefighters to use those lights in their private cars? Or is it just tolerated? Here in Germany we're not allowed to put any kind of flashing lights in our private cars to show other drivers that we are responding.
Angelo Geuß Its up to them to put the lights in there personal vehicle
Most honest opinion it's safety. Little bit of hype and the American fireman spirit of look at me I'm a firefighter. Plus it's cool.
@@brandondoty8211 and kinda IM NOT A FIRETRUCK BUT IM STILL A FIREFIGHTER MOVE

I feel like most people will not move if the lights are green
The local people there actually do move over for greens. The ones who don't move are either clueless out of towners, or asshats who dont give a shit and two fucks
OMg having it be green is awesome
Where I live at in Mississippi USA the vol you get white and orange (forget what its called) first, then when you get approved you can get red and white.
Amber and white just to let you know.
Im coming for ontarios lawmakers, those green lights have to go. Allowing emergency vehicles to have lights and sirens yet the volunteers arent considered emergency responders? They respond from work, home, weddings and many other things just to save lives, maybe make the time it takes to get there shorter and..sadly to mention this...safer?
I volunteer in California and the only lights we can have is yellow rear facing. So basically only useful for traffic management once you are stopped. Not for cars ahead of you.
Loved the video 🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸🇨🇦

In switzerland we have blue lights on the Volunteers when they come to the firehouse.
We have that too in NYS. This is indeed weird
1:07 that fire truck has the same siren as the FDNY Ambulances
At our station in Texas, it’s against city ordinance to respond to the station with lights..... even though the state allows it
In oklahoma it is illegal period
That's dumb. Do the police enforce it?

Lets get some Federal Q's and those rigs!!
Question? Why is the truck not 1st or even 2nd out to a high rise ? Fire or not. Just curious.

@@OnLocation1 I previously owned an 07 4.0L and a 10 4.6L Trac. Loved them both but the 4.6L with a magnaflow catback definitely sounded better.
Is it allowed to use the green light to drive over a red light or drive faster?
I know that I’m on the outside looking in, but I would think that volunteer firefighters would be using red or blue lights instead of green. Red and blue get ATTENTION.
Someone should have the rigs as a take home vehicle and have everyone respond to the scene from where ever they are.
The last think you want is a dozen personal vehicles pulling up to the fire ground. Plus you can see the guys running into the station without their gear because the gear is usually kept in house. Some guys keep in in their trucks but you need to be careful because of the carcinogens that leach into the gear during a fire. You don't want your kids or pets touching that crap.
That crew has some nice vehicles.
Yes They Do!!
In germany you don't need to follow trafic laws anymore but your not allowd to have any lights. Just sings with "firefighter on mission"
It's crazy that they don't let yall have sirens but me up north smh

@@mikeellis4158 Greens are courtesy, so yielding to them is not mandatory. NY volunteer fire uses blue for their private vehicles, green for private vehicles of volunteer EMS. Red lights and sirens for the personal vehicles of chief officers for either volunteer fire and ems.

It's sad that I didn't see the smoke. I watched it for smoke.
What state is this in because I've never seen volunteers use green. In ct we use blue/blue and white. Captain and chiefs use red and white.
Tecumseh Ontario, Canada
Been watching these videos from different cities and states. Volunteer firefighters seem to have more urgency and hustle than the full time guys. It’s like the difference between college football and pro football. College players hustle and pro players mosey around.
The guys in first truck didn't start using sirens?
Where is this place cause I know in New York State, green lights of the volunteer EMTs, blues for volunteer fire
Chatham -Kent Ontario , Canada.
This must be a American thing but I've never seen those flashing green lights on volunteers private cars before anywhere else
In Sweden they are not even allowed to have green lights to get to the station faster, however in some places the firefighters dont give a fuck and strap blue emergrncy lights on their cars and the Police mostly dont care
In NYS povs have blue lights usually
(S.D.R. WRITING) Here in my district of Penacook/Concord NH area ALL of our Fire Department Vehicles including unmarked & p.o.v's are the same color, they are RED,WHITE & AMBER LIGHTS, BLUE LIGHTS is POLICE vehicles as well is the unmarked vehicles, GREEN LIGHTS is Security Vehicles at our Hospital Campus Area.
What is with the flashing lights on the volunteers cars?
since some times they dont get calls for days, when they have an emergency, they're not at the fire station. they use those green lights to go to the fire station and alert that there is an emergency.
In california we cant do this, i have to drive to the station or the accident behind the fire truck and at speed limits
Do they not like to use the q
Green instead of red I like it
Damn good response, especially considering you guys can only run green lights. We feel spoiled in south Texas being able to run red/blue now

that is soo funny i work on the railroad that runs from clinton to tecumseh
Apparently pick up trucks are mandatory
Just curious, with those lights running while they are responding. Are they allowed to go through intersections and such or do they mainly obey all laws when responding
Obey traffic laws. Technically, the general public doesn't even have to pull over for them.
Do firefighters have special rights on the street when they use the green lights?
I'm a volunteering firefighter in Germany and we are not allowed to use any lights or sirens for our private cars. I wish there would be a law for us here in Germany to use some lights to get faster through the traffic jam sometimes but they mistrust the people in their driving skills and be afraid that people be angry about the firedepartment when they drive fast or in case a firefighter have an traffic accident on their way to the fire station.
MERC1938 There’s no special rights, it’s a courtesy light hoping for the public to pull over for green lights
@@OnLocation1 Okay and does it work? Are there enough people who pull over?
