For everyone watching and appreciating this driver, the piece he is driving is a tiller which is like a tractor trailer that bends in the middle. There is a guy in the back who also steers (the opposite way) to make the turns, so you are watching a guy drive a tractor trailer through these awful streets (while eating a fudge pop which is what really makes the video)
I live around the corner from a fire station, last year they saved my life, as a combat vet next to my brothers in arms they are my heroes. Bless every single first responder .
I love these ride along videos, I don’t know how many channels of subbed to that do this it’s just so fascinating to watch fire trucks respond to calls, these kinda videos are like asmr for me
I am someone who always advocates and encourages drivers/operators to "know their equipment" referring to their vehicles with two of the biggest reasons being knowing what/how your vehicle operates, and its dimensions (we all know those ppl who aren't confident when it comes to parking at a retail store). That being said, one of the things I'm always constantly impressed by and love seeing is Engineers such as this guy who is fully confident AND comfortable both with what his Truck/Ladder could handle as well as the dimensions of it and how tight of a spacing he could squeeze through.
Great example of fast yet controlled. He drove quickly and dodged traffic, but in a controlled and deliberate way. He didn’t weave in and out of traffic, he was careful at intersections and slowed when he couldn’t see both ways from a distance, and he only drove on the left when it was necessary. Something a firefighter friend told me was that firemen don’t just run around like they do on TV. They work a lot slower in real life, but they also don’t make mistakes. Do it with pace, but do it with purpose he likes to say.
As a volunteer with Pa company's 30 & 31 for 14 years, I enjoy watching Harrisburg Ladder truck respond through the City and not take out any vehicles. Good job to the driver's. Stay safe.
I'm going to be 665 this summer and am still active as a driver for the local volunteer fire department. There is a certain thrill laying on the air horn or siren as we go rushing to a call!
Where I live, a mainstreet snakes underneath a rail underpass wich extends about 75 feet, the middle of the road seperated by concrete. I saw a fire truck go right through the opposing traffic lane at full speed. WTF and it's dark in there.
Literally. No fucking way they drive in opposing traffic here in Europe, they just go and people make way as fast as possible without endangering other vehicles. Total reckless movement by the driver.@@rachitron
@@maxizac7 If he would have went behind the traffic that was on the right side of the road, he'd have been stuck there for several minuties while peolle figured out how to get out of his way. People in the US do NOT respect EMS vehicles and sirens and lights. They slow down and move half a foot to the side, at best. Europeans have a much larger respect for EMS than we do here in the US. I do agree it was risky, however, the traffic was stopped, there were only 3 cars in the incoming lane, and there is no way they'd miss the sirens and lights in front of them. It wasn't that dangerous, in this particular situation. I've seen firetrucks do this before and they always do it as a last effort when that's the only way they can get to their location in time to help put the fire out/save a life. This wouldn't be an issue if people in the US MOVED OVER for EMS. Not a little, not a teeny tiny but, no, if they MOVED OVER! I have rode in a firetruck several times and the amount of times people stop in the middle of the road blocking us ,or ignore us entirely is insane. I really think that people who fail to move for EMS should be given massive fines and potentially a license revoked depending on the situation. But yeah, I'm not saying it's not dangerous, it is. But they are responding to a fire. The only thing they did that's not "normal" was the lane switch. Everything else was textbook, and the lane switch was too, but like I said, that's a last resort and he had to take it due to the traffic jam on the road he was already on. Trust me, they would have taken forever to move out of his way, I've seen it before, many a' times.
I use to drive one of these, on a Peterbilt frame. I don't miss how the gas pedal was so close to the brakes, where when you make a brake application and you hit the gas pedal by mistake, youre caught saying "#@$*&(#@" each time lol
Awesome!!! These are The finest Men and Women that we depend on.. during an emergency!! Kudos to the driver..he was only trying to get folks to where they needed to be!! Again.. Thank each and every person who takes up this challenge!
I feel like riding in the fire truck looks like I'm actually riding. But, its in the stream. Even though, I can hear the q2b sirens while responding to the call
The driver/ engineer is a boss! Gym shorts, fudge pop and one handed driving. Much respect!
Typical engineer
From a professional I expect to have two hands on the wheel.
if this was indeed an emergency, he's putting lives in jeopardy while sucking on a choc pop.
One handed driving is NOT cool. It is definitely unsafe.
@@LouisvanWijk100% agreed!
iam a firefighter at the age of 60 and the feeling you get is something you can't explain. one hell of a rush even at my age ty
im starting my academy in june and ive been an cadet/volunteet i have a few questions, doing it straight out of highschool
Adrenaline?
Driver is a pimp. Eatin ice cream, whipping the fire truck. He is living the dream!

The driver knew his truck! Love that, amazing job!
Incredible driving and efficient siren and horn usage! Incredible video!
Dangerous irresponsible driving.
lifes are on the line show some respect to them @@richkuklinski8424
@richkuklinski8424 Hey if he's capable (he clearly is) then let him cook, he's a better driver than anyone else on that road
people underestimate the amount of people that want to watch firefighters/police officers driving to locations.
Fr
i love following them. the feeling of running a red when you're tailing a firetruck is something else.
This gives me a whole new perspective on how fast they can go and what it looks like inside. Like a rollar coaster ride.
Great video! Thank you. And fantastic driving.
I love these ride along videos, I don’t know how many channels of subbed to that do this it’s just so fascinating to watch fire trucks respond to calls, these kinda videos are like asmr for me
Care to drop any of those channel names so I too can follow?
Wherever this is, these other cars can't drive but firetruck driver is a beast.
It says Harrisburg City, so my guess is there 🤷♂️
I'm amazed at the driving skills!
That was some very skilled driving!
Yes that was
@@Ryanb1998 And so nice to see Engineer has both hands on the wheel.
@@ronaldlynnjohnson7589How can you have both hands on the wheel when you’re eating a fudge pop With one 😂
Skilled? I'd say bordering on reckless.

Great work lads, you are appreciated for the service you give to the people. Keep up the great work as always.
I absolutely love the sound of a screamin' fire engine!!
Most respect to the Firefighters! Hugs from Brazil

the most undermanned paid fire department in the world but will allways do their best thank you
huge respect to all the firefighters around the world ♡
I have the most respect for the men and women in the fire service!!

chauffeur was ROLLIN!!! had the rig on 2 wheels!!!
Hell of a job Wheelman!
Wheelin. Love the commentary.. That guy is a good wheelman!.
Nah. He won't have passed his exams driving 2nd ladder at that speed while sucking on a fudge pop and shouting, 'Get the f*** out of the way'.
Awesome driving. That engine has amazing acceleration
Driver: screw it I'm bringing the fudge pop
It's stuff like this that makes me hope for humanity
Omg this sounds feels like war is coming and this truck is really powerful wow so fast
Engineer getting it!!!!!
My favorite part 3:00 I know that feeling
Awesome capture, hopefully there was an update about the fire on how it started and hopefully everybody was OK and made it out
Dude is good
Using the road very well dodging traffic great horn action
Columbus ga just started outfitting Q 2 ‘s on trucks
Great Video! Class A Chauffeur!!! Reminded me of life in my younger days.....Jobs
Excellent video
I thought I was a good driver until I saw this driver. He makes me feel like an amateur. 😂
I'm going to be 665 this summer and am still active as a driver for the local volunteer fire department. There is a certain thrill laying on the air horn or siren as we go rushing to a call!
Driving in opposite lane to avoid traffic some very tight streets a little nerve racking for any chauffeur,a fine job gentleman.👍🚒
Where I live, a mainstreet snakes underneath a rail underpass wich extends about 75 feet, the middle of the road seperated by concrete.
I saw a fire truck go right through the opposing traffic lane at full speed. WTF and it's dark in there.
Legend has it that the driver still wears his t shirt and shorts to go fight fires and drive his bad ass truck. Much respect right there brother ❤
Ngl. My booty hole tensed up a little when he went into oncoming traffic lol. Nice work though
2:58 I feel ya bro lol "Come on, get the F out of the way!"
Going opposing traffic, dude? Really? Don't expect civvies to know what to do in that instance. Stay ignorant.
@@rachitron tell that to the apparent first class driver in this clip

I am watching from Elmira NY how bad was that fire?
I prefer the title "Working the Q like a man", or ":Best combo on the Fire Department Q, and Powercall"
Damn. He driving the shit out of that engine. I thought it was gonna flip. 😂
This is actually a tractor drawn ladder truck (tiller)
That was very good driving love the ride alongs

Imagine if there is police then said PULL OVER then fine them for speeding.
The Driver ist a very good Driver.
Bud he is in Shorts 😅
Rumor has it, they are still driving to the fire.
Does the rear axle turn? It seems to turn on a dime.
Would have like to have seen some on scene video!
Good drive
Good driving……GREAT tillering

This guy is an idiot for driving with one hand. Totally unsafe.
This is so cool ❤
all i got from this is that it's stressful af to drive a fire truck :D
Would you happen to know a firefighter by the name of Kevin Doud? He’s retired from Harrisburg
-How much noise do you make
-yes
Damn. Them ol' boys had a hellofa long ride to get to the fire.
Are you shifting me with this video ? Ever saw a house on fire.
I feel like riding in the fire truck looks like I'm actually riding. But, its in the stream. Even though, I can hear the q2b sirens while responding to the call
We are moving the grid over copy that standby for an update over.
How fast were you goin? I love this!
60 mph or 70 probobly
They have a governor on them aswell so they cant go as fast
Super cool !
Go get ‘em boys Be safe
2:55 I have seen several fire truck drivers as aggressive or rude as this with the other drivers in the United States.
what is that thing mounted on the middle of the dash with te blue ligth mounted? Thanks
A Knox box. It’s what securely holds a key to businesses and commercial buildings. It’s unlocked by dispatch via tones.
Knox emergency key box retention device
