A6-3 responding – Fire Alarm

Posted by admin on June 21st, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | 25 Comments »

Ambulance 6-3 responding with Engine and Tower 6 to a fire alarm. Usually, we don’t go on fire alarms, but at this facility, the fire alarms and lifeline alarms are the same alarm. It’s a frequent visit, and of three of these calls since Sunday, this is the first good video. Good practice for driving, though.

    Now, it’s just another radio designation (sometimes the back-up unit). As more stations got engines and such, we have “Wagon”, “Engine”, and “Reserve Engine”. Any piece can be reserve. Philomont (Co 8) has a Reserve Tanker, and Leesburg (Co 1) has a Reserve Truck (their Truck is a tiller and the RT is not). It’s like in PW Co they have “Engine 501A” and “Engine 501B”, same idea. That help?

    NH, MA, VT, and I believe CT allow any (approved) fire/ EMS personnel to run red, white, amber lights, etc. Including sirens. From the entry level probie, to the chief, it doesn’t matter, and it makes you technically an emergency vehicle. State and Local Police agencies, aside from Public Safety departments(R/B), and forestry (R/B) run strictly blue lights

    Yes, it goes state-by-state. As I recall, blue is a courtesy color in several states in the Northeast, where all emergency vehicles use red, clear, and amber, including the police. Here in the Southeast, blue is only used for law enforcement, which can also mix in other colors. Fire and EMS are restricted to red, clear, and amber.

    um, every state has different laws about the lights, sirens, where you can pass, etc. maybe in your state only cops can have blue lights but in texas, colorado and some other states all 3 services can.

    Hate to burst your bubble, but your wrong. Here in Cypress, Tx, the FD uses blue, red, amber, and clear. The sheriffs dept (before they bought all their new whelen lightbars) used red, blue, and amber combinations.
