    Attention motorists: no police officer is going to ticket you for going through a red light when there is a fire engine with lights/sirens activated and horn blaring right behind you. Move your damn vehicle!
  • @ThatOneDudeNick
    It looks so stressful to be an emergency vehicle driver. All these people not paying attention, not wanting to miss a light, etc. while you're trying to get on scene. Much respect.
  • This incident had everything. Black smoke, fuel fire, police, air port equipment, limited water, crazy drivers not moving, and insane shooter. Bless all first responders. You are all heros. Thank you.
  • @sirsha6973
    Sir, did you know that: Your incident has been updated
  • @kcgunesq
    I am shocked at how unresponsive the public was in terms of getting out of the way for the emergency vehicles. Otherwise, first half of the video was awesome. I would have preferred seeing the firefighting than the view from the command truck for the second half though.
  • @V0latyleUSMC
    It's unbelievable how ignorant and oblivious most drivers are. Get the hell out of the way, QUICKLY, and do it as soon as possible, not when you're already blocking emergency vehicles. The stupid makes my head hurt.
  • @nooooo9778
    That engine was a boss with the horn. Move tf away if you hear a fire truck siren.
  • The helment cam was the best part of this video. It actually showed what was going on in real time as to how they went about trying to put out the fire. Need a lot more of the helment cam content.
  • So...... drivers aren’t going to follow protocol & fully stop so the emergency 🚨 vehicle can go ? They still driving like it’s nothing . . 🤦🏽‍♀️
  • @joop1991
    I've very much respect for your driving! Very careful at traffic lights (00:37 & 00:57), moving lanes 1 at a time (1:22), not driving insanely fast past stationary cars (3:58). You're a great example how to ride with lights and sirens!
  • @lesliengo8347
    Seeing it in first person really gives an experience of what it is like to be in the firefighter's perspective and it makes it more interesting to watch
  • @akoll6138
    Remember if you don’t know what you’re doing, go talk to joe
  • @lic2kil007
    Not surprising to see drivers totally oblivious to the red emergency vehicle with flashing lights and siren. Great POV***
  • @GlobalTune
    firefigther from denmark here. just seeing how you guys work is a blessing. keep it up guys!
  • @AG.Floats
    Like 7 minutes of POV footage. Like 3 minutes of actually putting out the fire. 45 minutes of dashcam footage from 200ft back....

    I work at the I-25 and Orchard Exit. I remember watching this from office window and local news station was covering it live. Driver barely made it out alive, but was not injured. Pretty crazy.
