- Emergency services are here to help all of us, they save lives and we want to be able to count of them when we need them the most. Sadly first responders around the world have to deal with a lot of disrespectful behaviors while trying to respond to life and death emergencies. In this video you will see some of these frustrating cases, filmed at Firehall No. 2 in Vancouver. PLEASE respect the men and women who risk their safety to protect ours, GIVE WAY TO EMERGENCY VEHICLES!

TGG - Global Emergency Responses oolo
P
Guys take it from me. Considering I'm on a fire department. I've seen some freakin idiots. Every second matters to these guys the people in the casualties. If their response time is bad they get judged they say we suck people start to hate us. If we had good response time people wouldn't hate us. The idiots out there when you see a big RED TRUCK driving out of a building with lights and sirens don't block them pull over let them pass. Then you continue. I hope this helped.
Don't know if this true or not but I heard from someone That in New York The FDNY will just push your car out of the way if they need to :) Let me know if this does happen or not Just wondering Thanks
Where in B.C is this?
Civilians: “Why Do Emergency Vehicles Take so damn long?!”
Also Civilians:
Well, in the 2nd clip the firefighters didn't do anything to try and remedy the problem either. Pretty sure that pickup has a reverse gear too. Quick back up and you're under way. They sat there for about ten seconds waiting, and waited even longer than needed given they were clear at about 1:28.
Walmar stupid drivers I tell you
Because fire trucks and ambulances are heavy and they have equipment in the back u gotta think and because they cant go fast u want them to crash??
@HXfelva Its a pickup, it'll take 5 seconds to back up enough to make that turn.
@@greyman686 The pickup shouldn't have to backup. You're supposed to yield to EMS/Fire/Police vehicles. That's one of the things that drivers ed teaches you.
having sat at the front of an ambulance on the way to taking my mom to the hospital, i just find it an absolute miracle that these first responders don't end up in more accidents because of all the idiots on the road. they are probably the best drivers i've ever seen.
I drove a fire engine for 8 years... you either learn INFINITE PATIENCE or you'll have a collision. Our dept. mandated that you slow in ALL limited visibility & 'lighted' intersections, & proceed DEAD SLOW if you're breaking a red light. Also, not to drive faster than 5mph above the posted limited ( although we cheated a bit sometimes ) Here's 2 pieces of 'wisdom' for you: 1) you can't treat the patient unless you GET THERE SAFELY... & 2): I had a 37-year career as a medic & had probably at least 15,000 patient contacts; in that time there were fewer than a half-dozen whose outcome _could_ have been different if we'd gotten there 30 sec. sooner by blasting through red lights, vs. dozens of close calls due to inattentive drivers that we managed to avoid...
They sbould use a push bumpers for those people who dosn't move
Mati12ful Agreed, maybe that will teach them a lesson...
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses exactly
Bull bars man or roo bars depending on where your from lol
@@Mati12ful Go all California on them 😂😂😂
Mati12ful my brush truck has a push bar next time someone has their thumb up there ass I’ll give them a “little” tap. Not really but I want to do that some days.
1:14 that driver sure as hell knows how to use his sirens
Was that a joke or did you mean it?
He's referring to the excellent most beautiful siren work I've ever heard in my life tbh.
Agreed lol
He surely moved after that
Oh ya
1:32 You can hear the fireman’s frustration in his change of siren usage. 🤣
Which is funny considering the driver could have just reversed three feet and been gone. Instead they sat there for about ten seconds making a scene.
@@greyman686 The Jeep driver still wasn't the brightest driver around, though.
Yes it’s like the manual in liberty county
@@egogogogoegarobloxchannel5700 yes
True 😄
That is dumb even when I am walking past a fire station I still look to make sure no truck is coming
Right!?!? Even if I hear no sirens! If I heard one I’d make damn sure I’m out of the way!!!
This! Even when I have a green light on crosswalk, I always check for emergency vehicles
Yes
I always move out of there way when I hear the siren or see lights on to let him pass
Thats an "Auto" siren.
An idiot is born every min

For one Idiot must 2 god guys die
Jason Thompson You're 1 of them😂
It's sad to see how many drivers lack situational awareness.
Yeah, just like you're not supposed to block an intersection, drivers have to keep an eye out and give a firehouse a wide berth.
Sometimes firefighters can take a lil road rage after an intense days work..
Too be honest I'm little bit surprised by this one lol. Only cause i would've thought they for sure they would've radio a close by
( T.E.U ).
also known as a Traffic Enforcement Unit depending on the location or state or country u are located in cause then they might be known as something different.
To go hand out a nicely wrapped an well deserved fines in nice pretty little

for Blocking a main Emergency Service exit & Blocking a Emergency Service vehicle

ninkcome poop's take note of this we have these's fines in play for people such as yourselves for a reason lol.
so simply just learn how too One listen close Two pay close enough attention to your surroundings at all time's and Three witch is most important out of One an Two U seriously need too ( G.T.F.O OF THEIR WAY WHEN THEIR LIGHTS & THEIR SIRENS ARE SEEN AN DEFINITELY HEARD).
Now that u know the importantnes to this. Hopefully you won't be the one getting a tickets anymore.
@GLØW haha 😄 well kinda hard not too when the level of stupidity was to tempting not too.
dark magic 420 WELL SAID!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
ORA GLØW haha he/she did good. Real good!!!
And other guy was a beast who made that turn with a full long length fire truck, he's like nobody stopping me today
In NYC most FDNY trucks have cameras so move over or get a tickets in the mail
People seem to think (at least act like in my opinion) that they are more important then every one else including emergency vehicles with lights and siren(s) activated for an emergency call. Seconds do count. If more people would think about what if that emergency unit was being blocked for 1 minute by some foolish person. While that unit was en route to me or some one I care a lot about and that person died or had a bad out come because of that other person car. How would they feel? That might get them to pay attention and yield the right of way. Even pedestrians should yield to emergency vehicle when they are going to an emergency.
Nothing will happen until something happens. One persons time is another persons money & life. Practically don’t care until it happens to them. I know for sure it is very stupid but it make sense.
Dustyn Staley well maybe, just hear me out smart one, it’s a call where other units are there already and they need help
@@norm115 didn't see a single nigga in that video. Smoking dope?
@@norm115 , just think one day it will be someone you love or care about that needs the help.
@@norm115 try being a firefighter for 24 hrs my man then maybe you will understand!
1:15 this driver sure knows the hell how to to use his sirens. And the to people walking on the side and like ummmm dose he really have to do that?
Watched a lot of these and noticed how the public just went on about their business not GIVING room for these vehicles. It would be ashamed if this ever happened when they need help themselves.
Do you ever hated on your own life
When people blocks the road street?
Why don't you just honk at them ya know
Even know, you are working at your job on FD!
Do not give up okay, let the Firetruck pass ok.
People like these should NOT have their license 🤬
Agreed
1:31 love the manual
Yea pretty awesome :)
@John Arat Or he noticed the firefighters were making a scene? They sat there for what, ten seconds when they could have just backed up four feet and been off?
@John Arat Yes, I mean the fire "medic" (not sure why they refer to it as "medic" considering they only operate at first responder level). Sure they have the right of way, it still doesn't stop the operator from backing up and moving on. Hell, even when he couldn't have pulled forward he sat and waited an extra four seconds. There's nothing wrong with firefighters fixing a situation too by using a bit of common sense. What fire lane? What are you talking about?
@John Arat Looks like the city of Vancouver needs to mark the street or put signage up to tell motorists. If there's no marking, and I can't find anything saying you can't stop in front of a firehall in traffic, then they probably will stop there. Sure, it should be common sense not to but common sense isn't so common these days.
@John Arat I know what a fire lane is but thanks for continuing to explain it lol. So I looked it up and Vancouver traffic bylaw says no stopping with 6 meters of a firehall on the same side or 25 meters on opposite side. Now is that 6 meters from the front of the station or 6 meters from the curb. One way the driver wouldn't be in violation but either way it must not be enforced given the cop would likely be in violation too.
This is my biggest pet peeve, people not moving out of the way when they hear the emergency vehicles, sirens and all..... #MoveItOnOver........
My biggest complaint is you can hear the siren 2 blocks away and people will continue going thru the 🚦 intersection as if they weren't comming down the block! They almost always have to STOP because traffic didn't stop when they heard the siren. So the intersection would be clear. And it delays 911.
@@cynthiarothrock4255 I completely agree.
EVERY SECOND COUNTS brilliant content. Keep it up!
Thank you very much!
"Keep back 150m" good joke there. With a 100% eyesight you cannot read that from about 80m, so what am I supposed to do once I can read it? Reversing? Surely I won't do that on the road...
Same shit every day, lack of respect towards first responders seems to rise since a few years... I remember 3 or 4 attacks against firefighters and ambulance personell in the last 2 weeks. Just yesterday a man tried to set firefighters ablaze after pouring gasoline over them, unbelieveable!
SaveLive TV Yes you are right, horrible, and completely unacceptable! First responders should NEVER be a target for violence. It shows that there is something really wrong with society...
I hope people will learn one day and things will get better....
There’s been someone smashing beer bottles on our fire company drive way.
Shut ya dumb ass up
Maybe if they didnt act like douche bags thats need to have blinky lights to make them feel like men, then they would get more respect
@@stevesites1975 What?
I had a chief back in the 80s tell me constantly that the reason why they spent the extra money on the huge, big, thick bumpers was to give me a tool to push people out of the way. If they don't get out of the way in a reasonable amount of time, push 'em! The problem was that 'chief' wasn't my 'lieutenant' back at the house! If I came back with a scratch on the bumper, I had to ride back step for three shifts!
I'd be fucking happy with that, it's fun
Then you have to get out and check on them and see if they are ok and take care of them before you go to the call if you do
In today's world, that would be correct, we would. Back then people had common sense and knew from experience how to nudge people gently with the nice, chrome bumper in front of the 33,000+ pound fire engine with 500 gallons of water! Sometimes just the knowledge that they could and would do that made a huge difference. Back in the good ole days when we actually rode "back step" and always kept a couple spare spanner wrenches in the hose bed in case someone wanted to intrude on that "Stay Back 500 Feet!" That was before we were invaded by social-justice-warriors!
dpm1982 what's up with your name?
Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. (DPM)
That's my belief as chief they don't move move or get out and do some serious couseling
I remember those days 😊🙃. Awesome catches Buddy! I don’t get it how some drivers can be this brain dead when it comes to emergency vehicles responding with Lights & Sirens. Grinds my gears and sure gives me a headache 🤕
Hall 7 Emergency Photography Thank you Chris! Yes I agree, a little respect and alertness could go a long way here.
It makes me so angry and annoyed when I am driving with lights and sirens on in an ambulance and I come to a full stop at a in intersection, everyone else pulls over but that one idiot who just looks at me as they pass everyone who pulled over and me and then I end up going their direction. Just pull over, I'll pass you in less than two seconds. And please for the love of God don't drive on the shoulder as I'm passing you.
OH come on! How can they demonstrate how important they are if they pull over like an intelligent human being would. AND STOP when you pass????? You have to get it together, lady!
@@g.r.4853 LEAVE HER ALONE
I was watching the Weather Channel one morning as they were showing a live view over down town NY and there was an ambulance stuck in traffic while they had their lights on. It was the worst thing i saw that morning. God bless all first responders, you never know when you’re going to need them.
Fantastic video highlighting an issue that needs some addressing man. I'd also like to take this chance to remind most people that many of these cases aren't out of malice - rather, people panic and don't know how to react. Like you've said, the goal shouldn't be to single anyone out, but rather, to raise awareness for this issue as a whole and get people to yield properly.
Fire Phoenix Emergency Videos 火鳳凰特殊車輛影視 Thank you Jimmy! Yes that’s true, and I hope that with more exposure and awareness people can see what they should not do, or just realize that the emergency services don’t have it easy (even in a very ‘developed’ place like Canada...).
It also doesn't help, in the case of this hall, that their station is built alongside another building that sticks out further and, during this period, had the sidewalk covered in construction stuff such as scaffolding, right in everyone's line of sight.
True, people don't react well when startled, that's why you keep an eye out for the big red trucks and when the lights come on, get out of the way quick as you can.
Why panic when all you have to do is do your best to get out of the way.not just sit there and do nothing.they are emergency.most importantly not only it clearly says when you go for your licence to keep emergencies ways cleared or get the hell out of their way.but I see so many just sitting there even with sirens screaming.
That and drivers licenses shouldn't be given out as easily, the driving test should have a stress simulation and physically teach people how to react in high stress scenarios just like when a siren comes on or when someone cuts you off that you don't act like a dick and have a fit of road rage
I hope all these people need help one day and don't get it because of people like them
Being a firefighter there is nothing more that irritates than someone not getting out of the way when I am on the way to a call.
It's so crazy how people just get in the way. I see it anywhere that I'm spotting/buffing. Move over for emergency vehicles! Great catches as always!
Reasons why head phones\earbuds and cars should NOT be soundproofed
The siren usage 🤤🤤🤤
The german siren is very good 😍ok... I live in germany but ... Yes
Angry
Yep
If I was a driver and emergency vehicles were about to come out of the station or are behind you, I would DEFINITELY recommend getting out of the way.
When I hear an emergency vehicle siren , that's all I need to know to get out of the way NOW!
The way E 2 stopped omg
Where i live all the fire stations have light signals in front of there stations when it turns red they are going out to a call nobody blocks them
That's super cool wish we had them here
Same and they have a a thing to change the intersections red
The station at us have a private area for the vehicles so we are exremly lucky
Every second counts, so good
I like how it shakes in beginning
Every second counts, they didn’t seem to be in a hurry to get out.👍😁😎
That’s what I was thinking. I was looking for this comment.
Downtown East side Vancouver BC , i litterly lived 3 blocks away from there and my favourite stripclub right across Orange No°5 ...near Main and Hasting...
Yep sir you are so right on that EVERY SECOND DOES COUNT don't it I know.
VERY IMPORTANT message from this video.
Issue a super fine for blocking emergency vehicles ( three times normal costs), message would soon get through.
Forget the fine TAKE THE LICENSE FOR A YEAR. Only then will they learn that driving is a PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT.
every second counts and they take 5 mins to get into the truck lol
That's cause there was already the first car going. Because there was already (at least) one car already going there, they didn't need to rush.
90 second max if it is an emergency, if you miss that timer they will leave you at the station
They do it here in europe
@@vincenteriksson4062 This isn't Europe...
@@fireguy8549 I know but I am talking about my station in Europe I am not talking about this station
I love the fact, that you can tell what the driver is wanting to say just from how they play their siren LOL.
What many people fail to realize - if the person driving the fire truck decides your vehicle needs to move, they can and will wreck your vehicle with theirs, with no liability. You'll be footing the bill for their damages, too. And that taxi at the end really didn't have time to react.
@Verbal Diarrhea Most municipal fire departments have immunity from claims of damages during the line of duty, even if you're at fault. I imagine it must be different in the department you are in though.
I do agree that it's on first responders to drive safely, given the fact that most people in little matchbox cars often don't. Failure to yield, cutting off ambulances, running red lights, tailgating ladder trucks, etc.
From my childhood I wanted to become a fireman. I am glad that this dream came true.
Good luck, my American colleagues) 🔥🔥🔥
Canadian ;)
Well it’s actually Canada
OMG IM FREAKIN OUT THOS PEOPLE ARE ********* ********🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡
In Ga it is a state law if you hear a siren ( fire, ambulance or police) , you pull over to the side of the road, a very high fine and point off your license if you do not. So it is weird for mew to see this.
Lol you should have a speaker like the cops have in their patrol cars yelling outside of your emergency vehicle saying get out the of way you No driving Fartknockers😆😆
P.A. system or Public Adress system aka "a speaker like the cops have" is built into most sirens from the big guys
Hate when people do that
For a minute there, I thought you were filming in Toronto :P Great catches! I was a bit surprised the crews didn’t use their bullhorn much on the motorists (that first fire truck’s an exception :P). The police, fire and ems crews here in Toronto are known to really hammer down the bullhorn or air horn on unaware motorists and driving through intersections with a red light facing them :P
For example, if the taxi failing to yield took place in Toronto, the first response vehicle would have laid down the bullhorn as the taxi drives by : P
SnipballTheBestBall Thank you! Yea I mean every city and department has its different styles and habits. Vancouver Fire & Rescue aren’t known for using a lot of horn, but it also depends on the driver. From personal experience inside emergency vehicles I also found that it can be harder to reach for the bullhorn ‘button’ than using the regular siren functions (depending on the set-up and system). Let’s hope they don’t need to use the siren like crazy all the time in order to get anywhere...
Taxi drivers in NYC tend to never yield to emergency vehicles as well. If you see a vehicle with lights and sirens, YIELD.
Great Video and great statement. I've been in a small city in eastern Luxembourg and I've seen similar situations as well. Nobody seemed to be able to constitute a rescue lane for the responding ambulances...
1:12 what siren is that?
whelen gamma 2
Whelen Cencom Sapphire or whelen epsilon

mix of wail yelp and priority and then manual
I always wondered. Perhaps need something like what railroads have. Crossing arms that come down across the roads. to stop traffic.
That's smart dude !!!!
No it's not. Morons will always try jumping them. Can't fix stupid.
Makes sense that it happens in a more urban area, I live in a rural city that rarely blocks the fire station
my question is who the hell has the time to sit in front of a firestation and record dudes rushing out all day.
"Im walkin ovah heeerrh" lol
The guy in the Jeep wasn't even being an idiot
日本と比べると、ゆっくり出発だね。焦りを感じない…さすが
My grandpa had heart failure and heart disease so I learn young ever sec counts them 10secs could be life and death. If they need to jump a heart etc . It's sad if there love one died cuz EMS could not get there soon enuff they be trying to sue. U have to treat evey EMS call as if it was ur family or friend becuase it might be

Well I’m glad to have your support! ;D
Thank you very much!
Bothers me that people don’t think it’s important for these emergency vehicles to get through, then complain that a horn is blaring in their ear
Yes, ALL DRIVERS are to give way it's the law!!!!!!! My prayers are for all first responders!!!! Love from Marysville, California
some people freeze up like deer in headlights, when they hear a siren.
Yep
1:33 I hope that cop said something to the Jeep driver. That officer couldn’t of missed the shenanigans going on behind him.
No the cop left
Couldn't have*
No longer a volunteer but I can attest that the worst drivers are always the engineers. Never been able to figure that out. When I made a career change to medicine I wound up with an EVOC from the Michigan State Police. That taught me how bad the FD drivers really were.
For those not in the business, EVOC means Emergency Vehicle Operators Certificate.
Yay Vancouver my home
The second one was uncalled for, it's not their fault that they're stopping at an intersection. The car can just go into the EMPTY LANE that is next to it instead of coming all the way across the entire lanes. No disrespect to firefighters but use your heads, ambulances find an open lane and utilise it. Do the same instead of causing problems
FIREMEDIC 2707 are you really a child throwing a tempertantrum?
@FIREMEDIC 2707 calm down little bitch
Right. That jeep really wasn't in the wrong. Looks more like a bad location for a fire station
@FIREMEDIC 2707 just because fire responses are an emergency service doesn't mean they have the right to do simple tasks that can better a response time. Also calm the fuck down, I don't care about whatever the fuck you do. I'm an Anaesthetic Technician yet I don't go saying "NEXT TIME YOU HAVE A SURGERY IM GOING TO BRING YOU OUT OF ANAESTHESIA WHILE YOU'RE STILL CUT OPEN" it's very childish and I would like to see what your Captain thinks about you saying these things and why you shouldn't be kicked off as an emergency services responder for ethics violation :)
This is why the road in front of most fire stations have signs that says do not block emergency entrance/exit, but as always drivers still sit on the road blocking the station.
Rule #1 never block emergency vehicles like fire trucks 🚒 cop cars 🚓 and ambulances 🚑
I Agree!
I can't get over people being stupid enough to block or slow down first responders. I have an elderly dad with healthy problems, every second counts.
I can’t believe that driver wasn’t paying attention to the engine and the worst part is he honked at the engine like WHAT? You literally almost caused an accident.
So did the engine if you really want to debate it. They came down the ramp, next to a wall with the sidewalk blocked and assumed everything is good. If you used a bit of due regard they wouldn't have to pile on the breaks that way.
NO BRAINS
Ambulance: OH NO ARE PATIENT, WE MUST HURRY
Firetruck: a fire is almost spreading
Then we must S P E E D
What
Couple weeks ago I was coming home from running errands and I noticed a fire truck about a mile back in my mirror. I kept going while watching my mirror so I would know when to pull over. Well... the fire truck finally came about 100yrds of me so I pulled to the side with my indicator on and stayed there. Now the funny part of this is that as I pulled over... the idiot behind me got annoyed that I pulled to the curb giving him no room to pass, so he swerved around me and guns his engine. I raise my hands in the meaning "dude, are u serious?" He realizes why I pulled over about 50ft ahead of me and proceeds to pull over for the fire truck. Some people are really clueless to the world around them when they drive.
“ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT US FROM RESPONDING TO A FIRE”
This is why we lost people
Okay the second part of the video where the jeep was in the way, that really wasnt that persons fault.
@Amed Tajan Apparently the fire pickup don't have reverse..
Amed Tajan. I've been in the fire service for years and I'm not even mad about the guy in the jeep, however the pedestrians and the other scenarios that were shown in this video I can agree those people were douches for not being courteous. But it all comes down to driver responsibility for the guy driving the emergency vehicle too.
NYC is the worst as far as people blocking emergency vehicles while responding
@@nikgedz1538 I can see it though, during this period of time, them actually not seeing them at first. In both clip one and three, the unit is parked along the wall so first there's that. Add in all the scaffolding and any other construction material, you now have cut down on both the crews and motorists ability to see up the street. Just my 2 cents. The second clip actually bugs me considering there was nothing stopping the trucks driver from backing up and moving on. Instead they sat for 10 seconds making a scene.
@@greyman686 yeah he just had an ego and wanted to use it(rescue driver)
I HATE when people don't yield to a siren on an Emergency Vehicle!!! When I was an EMT, if I had to drive the ambo for any reason ( they didn't let me too often) because I would get on the mic and yell at people to move over and call them idiots lol
These guys think that just because they are on their way to help someone who may be in a life/death situation, that they can run red lights and expect people to pull over so that they can go flying by. The arrogance and audacity of these people.
Not to mention, their ramp is blocked by a wall and on this day, the sidewalk blocked by construction fencing etc. Of course not everyone is going to stop on a dime when you drive down and think you're not going to have to exercise caution and pull right out. The 2nd clip, I think the firefighters are just bein dickbags. The pickup truck had room to proceed, their driver obviously needs more practice. Hopefully he isn't driving the Engine or Ladder. They also have a reverse gear too and could have backed up a bit and been off.
The Fire Stations where I live have a "Do Not Enter" box so for example if traffic comes to a stop, and there is a call then the units responding don't have to worry about vehicles blocking the driveway and increasing response time because there aren't any vehicles in that box.
Yes, that’s good, many places have those markings. Sadly a lot of cars still come to a stop inside the box...
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses True, I believe here the police may do surveillance and possibly take pictures of the vehicle that stop in the box.
The stations around here have there own traffic lights outside the bay that they can activate when they need to go to stop traffic and go. They also can change the lights at the intersections using infrared.
@@stevenp1892 So much more convenient.
Nexus5150 yes in my city too but only one fire station in my city has that we have multiple the reason is the fire station doesn’t have a outsider bay they stay inside and the door is right next to the road so that’s why they built the box area they are smart if thinking that the other fire stations in my city has huge bays very far way from traffic there able to get out easy because traffic is far warship from them and there’s barely no traffic and this other fire station is like in the middle of no where no traffic Barely but they still have huge bay other fire station is next to this huge collage campus but it has a bay too far away from traffic no problem
I like how this video is about putting blame on the drivers. The driveway is hidden behind the building to the right of it. They literally turning the siren on as the people going by expecting people to stop in 5 ft.
I agree
Where are they gonna put a fire station at in New York then that place is always filled with drivers all the time so no fire station?
@@ActV_Studios What does that have to do with a video from Vancouver?
@@fireguy8549 eh thought it was New York but read description but still
Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that.
A tree fell on campus hitting a girl wearing earbuds. Many who witnessed it called 911. It happened in an ADA parking area behind a main lot, hard to get to if you don't know how to access it. Knowing this, I cleared the drive of the State golf carts where the Execs illegally park them to eat at the Cafeteria, and manually opened the gate entrance to the lot, ready to wave the EMTs in when they arrived. BUT... the State Police arrived sooner and blocked off that entrance with their vehicles, and then walked to where the girl was. The EMT arrives, and pulls in but can't get to the girls location due to the idiot officers who parked their vehicles in the middle of road and walked away. Forcing the EMT to turn around and try entering from the backside to get close enough. Of course another State officer had parked their car against the "exit" gate. Forcing the EMT to back up about 100 ft to get out of that dead end... Finally having to do what I was trying to avoid the entire time, by driving through the main parking lot around every turn for about 1/4 mile to get to the girl 100 ft away. All while these idiots officers stood there, wondering what the EMTs were doing.... Wanted to slap them.
This would never happen in the uk. It’s even against the law.
It's against the law here too. Unfortunately sometimes shit happens with no harm intended.
Should be mandatory.
Automatic $1000 fine for not getting out of there way...second time double it...
Great compilation :O all those "dont block the box" signs seems to be useless :(
captured911 Thank you very much! Yea the traffic situation in front of fire hall 2 is a bit more tricky than most fire halls, but generally there’s always someone who won’t notice the road signs or just doesn’t care...
When emergency vehicles are behind you (Lights & sirens) its a good clue to get the hell of the road!
And that's why atleast one station in my city has their own traffic lights. In an emergency everything has to stop
What if that was y'all house and someone blocked the fire truck
They dont care man. If it was theyd be windering where the fire teuck is at. Kind of like they dont give a shit unless its happeneing to them.
Savage Ty well f them
Karma to them

Do you even speak English, because that was about the most unintelligible s*** I've seen all day
How do you have 6 likes when i can't even make out what you're trying to say. And i tried 3x to see what those 6ppl saw that i didn't lol lol lol lol
I live in the south, our fire trucks have massive brush guards for the purpose of moving idiots....
When a fire truck doesn’t have a wail siren on it, it just makes me feel weird. Idk why 😂
2:30? Come on. They didnt even try to be fast XD they could do this in 10s not 1min.
Its takes time asshole
@@RandomNZperson Lol cmon they were taking their sweet ass time, it's obv.
this shit happens to us all the time when we go to calls...people are idiots and have piss poor situational awareness
Where I live, in Sweden, we often have red lights flashing when the firehouse receives an emergency so that we need and can stop before the firetrucks leave.
I can’t count how many times I’ve been blocked by bad drivers or cut off by speeders in my ambulance. There’s no respect for first responders anymore.
Too true although I think the cases here aren't the strongest. Two show a fire vehicle coming out from behind a wall and in the case of the first involving the engine, the sidewalk is a construction zone covered in scaffolding making things even worse vision wise for motorists and fire crews. The second clip, the firefighters are making a scene in my opinion. Their pickup has a reverse gear too and they could have easily used it and been on the way in seconds rather than wasting almost 10 sitting there.
Fantastic video
Thank you very much! ☺️
The firemen weren't moving very fast. That's a bad example of an emergency responce.
They can't get in a accident they can't help people if they need there own help
@@Petothegreatone Then why would they be responding to a cat in the tree as code 3? Riddle me that.
The second guy in the jeep grand Cherokee defense, he was where he was well before the medic truck initiated it's emergency gear.
It is illegal to backup on a road.
this is so common in Vancouver. Self Absorbed pedestrians and drivers glued to their cell phones, IGNORING or not even realizing there is an emergency vehicle trying to get by., They are also the first people to BITCH when Emergency (Police / fire / EMS) do not arrive fast enough when they call them. Should be a $10,000 fine to start. Its really bad in Richmond.
