Because at least one of them was in the wrong. You don't just blow lights with your sirens on. You still make sure it's clear first. Even NYPD doesn't do that shit.
Ideally, yes. Does everyone do it like that, especially in places with a ton of lights? Not a chance. It could be complacency, it could be overconfidence, or it could be a pediatric call where your heart races a little faster and your pace steps up (unintentionally), but people blow lights all the time. I’m not saying they should.
i'm not placing blame, I'm simply saying i'm surprised it doesn't happen more often given the amount of traffic and calls they probably get my bad for hitting a spot
The city of Cleveland has 200,000+ EMS calls a year. I can only imagine how much NY dwarfs that + WAY more streets/lights/etc
Brian Shute is an actual NYFD guy and I’m sure would have much better insight on NY EMS and driving in NY.
I do find it funny that he says it doesn't happen... in response to a fucking video showing 2 separate ambulances doing just that.
I’m not even arguing to advocate for blowing lights, but I can only imagine gassing-braking-gassing-braking-gassing-braking in a city like New York. I’m CERTAIN that most Drive with due regard and aren’t flying every single time without looking left or right, but shit doesn’t always go as planned.
I work all over NYC. And my father was an FDNY EMT Captain And before FDNY took over EMS. Accidents happen all the time but assuming they just blow lights like what is shown in the video is just dumb.
LOL. My point was he made captain. He actually earned it. Didn't lick boots and wasn't political. He actually loved his job.
Yeah, I’m not insulting your dad in anyway whatsoever. I’m sure he’s a fantastic guy. I’m saying that in a department with thousands of employees, making a sweeping statement about them (some who may not be the best and get away with bad moves) and citing your father being a captain as a reason your opinion is the only correct one, is a little naive.
How is this so hard to understand. One of them blew the light. There's reasons this doesn't always happen. BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO JUST BLOW LIGHTS WITHOUT CLEARING THEM. Are you on downers or something?
Nobody has said they are supposed to. Several have said they do at times, which is literally proven by the video that started this back and forth.
No nothing was proven, retard. We don't know why he ran the light or who. What if it just turned?What if they couldn't see the light changing. Who the fuck knows. You're just an idiot making dumb assumptions.
No. He said you were FD so you would know. I live in NY and literally grew up in and around the city. Plus my family has experience. I work with NYPD MC often. Shit obviously happens but they don't run around the city like cowboys. I thought you were just busting balls. I didn't take it as offense. My dad is dead though. SO I WIN THE ARGUMENT NOW!
I’m just gonna concede and give some thoughts. -ate way too much today. Got back from vacation a week ago and haven’t gotten my diet back on track. STARTS MONDAY LOL -we get to do honor guard for the Indians/Red Sox game tomorrow, so that’s neat -wife is starting school tomorrow and sending me all these depressed/panicked/sad messages about summer being over. I’m on the last day of a 72 and want to DDT her from moon back to the earth -this is the most excited I have ever been for an upcoming football season. The Browns and I think OSU is going to be really good defensively, like drastically different than the trash they’ve rolled out in recent years -we got a little puppy and I swore I’d never own a small dog. He’s five pounds and is the goddamn best
No but I don't know every city's policy. For instance A lot of cities don't chase dirt bikes because a ton of accidents and deaths have occured just because of the video above. Does every city give a flying fuck about that ? No. Stop posting you dumb miserable cunt.
Again, nobody is talking about policies. Nobody has said they should do it, just that they do. I don't understand why that's so hard for you to grasp, even after seeing multiple videos of it happening. But I'm the dumb one.
If I could slice my love-handles off with a katana, I’d fucking do it. Even at my lowest weights, those ol’ saddlebags persist. Fuck you, family and your diarrhea genes. I’d trade them in for a big boiler up front in a heartbeat.
As much of a creep/perv that I am, I never followed any women on social media. However, my buddy kept sending my pictures of this one girl “hoppy_floppy_” and I couldn’t see the posts without following on Instagram, so I broke down and did. I think she’s gull dang lovely:
you got to create a second insta account to follow them fat thangs and swingin booty meat from. You’re welcum
