American trucks don’t have this well at least my department doesn’t they have nobs that u turn usually your captains seat rider plays with them and your q is at your feet along with the air horn
@aidenlui2056 you can tap to turn it on or off you can't tap it for long range, tap it again for medium range, and then tap it again for short range. You can tap it for long range then double tap (and hold) for medium range and just hold it for short range. Small detail but frustrating. Would be nice if rockstar corrected it for GTA6 so you don't have to hold the horn and steer at the same time
professional addressing questions for those wondering about the horn: What he is using is called the hands free system. it’s safer than using the radial dial near the center console area while driving. some older vehicles (like the ones i drive) may only have the radial dial to change between modes. i prefer to use the radial dial even on these newer ones because i’m old school!
The first sound is used on straight roads like motorways with a bit of traffic, the medium/yelp is used for busy or dense/built up roads like a high road and then the last is used to clear intersections and junctions.
Fire Rescue Victoria also runs Scania appliances and I have to say that those horizontal reflective stripes on the front of the crew cab work really well! They let me know for sure which direction the vehicle is facing and or moving and clearly stand out in all situations. Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
There's a switch panel on the dash you have to turn on for the lights and sirens the horn only starts them and lets you cycle the tones at least that's how it is on police cars and ambulances
As a dutch person I am proud to say that I have done this in an ambulance in the UK because one of my friends dad worked on an ambulance and he took us to the depot to come check them out! It was very fun!
@DefaultMale_ Road craft states if following in a convoy it is advisable to use a different tone to the rest so people know there are likely more than one vehicle in the convoy and don't move for vehicle 1 then go back and get smashed by vehicle number 2
@@benrampling812 Yeah I know :p - it's the same over here. But I have family in the States and am aware that some states use the shortest tones as a priority tone when passing other units. Wail and Yelp sirens are enough tones I recon for multiple cars, especially when you have rumblers.
In the UK, yes. It’s a hands-free alternative to the control panel systems that you would usually see. As far as I’m aware these hands-free systems are not widely used in the US
@@stevecarter8810 Not a "rocker switch" specifically but just the switch on the siren control console. Basically, you turn on the siren as normal but it doesn't get activated until you press the horn
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:7) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13) The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. (Psalms 34:18)
The most useless siren control ever invented, i prefer buttons to make the selection so you dont have to play all the tones untill you get the one you want.
You have to remember these drivers are controlling several tons of vehicle at high speeds. They have to be thinking about that and aware of their surroundings. Putting the selector in the horn keeps the distraction to a minimum.
You don't want to be taking your hands off the wheel when under response driving conditions unless changing gear. The sirens have specific uses for approaching junctions, cruising, convoy, etc, so they aren't being cycled constantly. Having a button away from your driving control is dangerous and distracting.
GTA is right for once

Fr I never tough the controlls will be the same in rl 😂😂😂
A lot of American trucks have foot peddles on the passenger side which run the siren
@@outcastgaming1237 yeah that’s because they have automatic trucks because they don’t know how to drive manual so they have an extra foot to use

I live on a main road and hear sirens all the time - I always wondered what the different sounds meant, especially the 2 beeps at the end - thank you!
And if they still don't get out of the way; pip your horn.
They use their horn as a control system. The 2 fast beeps turn off and on the sirens. One fast beep changes siren tones.

The Q siren is the best siren Ever change my mind
Nah, facts. Weeeeeeooooooohhhhhh
Clearly never heard the old Two Tones these apparatus used to come with ;)
@@xaviert.123oh man, I hate two tone with a passion
Martin Horn
The original British two tone was better but pair that with a Q and oooof ❤❤
I'm old school, I prefer two tone air horns like the ones we had on our fire appliances back in the day!
Y’all such brave people.
I do think the high/low tone on those Wheelen sirens are nice. You can hear them far away.
Yelp definitely sounds like Brookhaven horns😂

What if you just want to toot the horn without the sirens? 🚨 🚨
There's a switch panel on the dash you have to turn on for the lights and sirens the horn only starts them and lets you cycle the tones at least that's how it is on police cars and ambulances
Just click the horn like four or five times in row
Long press tapping it changes siren tone
Fun fact,
Its not set up correctly, the system is supposed to disable the regular horn when the siren is running.
Finally glad seeing the UK use US sirens.
We've had these sirens for years😂 But we all miss the two tones
Miss the old two tones
This is not the sound of the fire truck. That is a cop car in hot pursuit.
Dang I thought all emergency vehicles had a console siren controller
As a dutch person I am proud to say that I have done this in an ambulance in the UK because one of my friends dad worked on an ambulance and he took us to the depot to come check them out! It was very fun!
Ohhhh so gta was right after all good to know 😂😂😂
the last one is insane
Bro they have this in GTA 💀💀💀
I remember when they had it on the floor as a button you’d press with your foot
I'm old school with no electronics so i prefer a Federal!
Ya I knew that. They keep doing it behind me for some reason…
So Ive always wondered, if you press the horn and it starts the EMS, how do you just press the horn is there a separate button?
firefihters 👍❤️❤️
Yall need some Qs
what fire station is this at?
Derby
@@Tsunami.fairyy thx
Why?
@@Jacob.Weirdo just wanted to kmow
Literally says it in the name of this channel 😂

I live in the UK but know some US states use the third tone as a priority tone with other units.

They aren't all like this, it depends what company builds the body
Wait, so.. horn actually controlls the sirens? I thought that was just gta thing lol

What about bull horn
I don’t care how many tones they have just as long they get to the incident in time !🤔🤔😳😂👍
This set up is so expensive to fix. And can put a truck down for weeks. Can’t we just use toggles anymore.
Wheres the two tone
back in the 90s lol
@TheSurferboi1992 nah they've brought it back now, the new electronic two tones sound really good haha
@TheSurferboi1992 nah they still have them on some scania's and MAN but I don't know why they rarely used
@@hayleywilliams8750Merseyside still use the two tone horns, very commonly as the primary siren tone when responding
@0ne-6right40 ah ok see i live in east Midlands so its yelp wail
What about the “DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO” or have I been hearing things my whole life
scania fire truck
The horn is not supposed to sounds at the same time
Wait so how do you back to the long sound without turning them off
They press the horn once to cycle them, twice to turn them off.
Giss a go !!
That horn sounds gorgeous 😍
What's needed is a PA system to tell the inconsiderate gits what you really think😂❤
ours and ambos here in qld aus have rumblers now too, fuckingggg anoyying
The 2 sound is a in Brookhaven
So what if you wanna use just the horn?
You turn off the siren. The horn only cycles through tones when the siren is on
@@c.d.c9425 oh nice, so there's also a rocker switch somewhere to enable it?

Id keep it on piercer chirping for my whole career as a fireman. Theirs no other option.
I like the horn but not the sireb
I literally copied the GTA5 firetruck layout
No 2 tones 😢😢

Ironic that you get paid the least if at all
The most useless siren control ever invented, i prefer buttons to make the selection so you dont have to play all the tones untill you get the one you want.
I was thinking that it would just be a pain if you have to cycle through them just to get back to the first one
Especially if you accidentally hit the horn
