Jumped into a new ambulance and found out theres 2 sirens!

[Hockey]

Ran a call the other night on one of our new rigs and scared the living daylights outta me but thought it was the coolest thing ever. 2 sirens on it. I busted out the cell phone to record it. I thought hah people still won't pull over or get outta my way. To my amazement, it worked the best I have ever seen

Oh and the airhorn, oh it was amazing at the effectiveness.

Yes the small things make me excited anymore!

Yeah, I've seen that before. It's nice, because people think there are even more coming, and they tend to actually wait instead of trying to get out at the last second. Funny, when they think you might be followed by a speeding caravan of emergency vehicles, they actually get the hell out of the way.

We don't have those, unfortunately. We just have to DJ our three different wails/yelps. Though, we DO have airhorns, and those are quite effective.

haha yep that seems to be the new thing for emergency vehicles. All the police cars at the police department I worked at got the dual siren thing a while ago, and our newest ambulance has (count em) three sirens... no, not joking - a Code-3 Vcon, a Federal EQ2B, and a Rumbler

Sounds like an entire task force is rolling down the street

I love dual sirens. Wail and Yelp.

 

[HasTy]

We have dual sirens as well...we use the wail until we get to an intersection and the yelp is for clearing the intersection or getting cars to move the heck out of our way...

 

[DevilDuckie]

Dual and a Q

That's what we have, but I don't think that's what the original poster was talking about. This is both those sirens going AT THE SAME TIME. Which is awesome. Makes it sound like a massive fleet of trucks are flying down the road.

Our new trucks from Paramedics Plus (July 1) are supposed to also include the rumblers. Should be pretty cool. Here's a sample. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20fbMTeEpfo&feature=related

I can only hope that you weren't driving while filming that.

Good point. How stupid and unsafe would that be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[JonTullos]

I've noticed the rigs around here have had them for a long time now. It's sure better at clearing traffic. Used to be people would hardly move... now people pull over even before the rig can be seen because they hear all the noise and assume that it's a convoy.

Wonder how many wrecks will be caused by this when people panic? We would get better reactions from people if Lights and sirens were used very much less often than now.

Is this you're opinion or based on some fact? What would you suggest as to when lights and sirens are used? Curious.
