Lots Of Fire Trucks

*I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training*

I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.

Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards. Thanks for watching.

I imagine this is probably a funeral for a firefighter?

We just had a funeral yesterday (Friday) here in Charlotte County, FL for a Sheriff's sergeant who was shot in the line of duty Sunday. There was a procession from here up to a funeral home in Venice (Sarasota County) early in the week. Then today there was the funeral (more than 2 hours long). Large room, standing room only. Law enforcement and first responders from all over the state attended and the procession afterward was very, very long, looping up to the gas station here in Port Charlotte, the crime scene where he died, and on to the cemetery. Many people were lining the streets to watch out of respect. He was was well loved. Burial was to be private. May his memory be a blessing.

RIP It is a funeral procession full of RESPECT for the one who give his life (I assume that he is dead on duty) for protection. It is so impressive to see all the emergency vehicules. Thanks to share.

The old lady who lived across the street from us had an adult son who had just retired after years of working as a Metro Policeman here in Nashville. She told me that the entire time he had been working as a policeman, she went through every day being afraid that something would happen to him and when he retired she finally felt that she could breathe again.

Sadly, shortly after he retired July Fourth was coming up and he had a flag in his front yard that was getting pretty ragged and to honor the Fourth, he wanted to take that flag down and replace it with a brand new flag. He used a ladder to access the flag which was on a very high pole and he fell and hit his head on a rock that he had pulled from his front yard. He hit it exactly the wrong way and he was killed instantly.

I did not know him but to show respect for his mother, I attended his funeral and also went out to the cemetery to attend the graveside service. The procession from the church to the cemetery was the longest procession I have ever seen. What happened to him was not in the line of duty but he was such a recent retiree that all the guys knew him and wanted to show their respect to him. Besides the civilians' cars of relatives and neighbors, there were DOZENS of police cars from precincts all over the state of Tennessee and the procession just went on and on and on. Like I said, this was the longest procession I have ever been involved in or in fact had ever even seen. Watching this procession with all those firetrucks, reminded me of my neighbor's son who was a retired policeman.

Wow that's alot of respect. The world must have lost one of our better souls. I don't know the person or family but deepest sympathy for your loss if you read this.

Bittersweet. We've got it from here, Brother.

Omg! The other night, I kept hearing all these fire trucks. It was very unusual because I live in a very teeny rural town. About every 2 mins, I'd hear a fire truck. It lasted for over 35 mins. So I drove not even a mile to our "downtown" and there were all these fire trucks from all of the surrounding counties. Plus a cop had the street closed and downtown was blocked. It must have been a Christmas party for the fire fighters. Because they were all parked in weird places. I thought the county was burning down. But no. It was just the firemen having fun.

Yes, that’s a funeral. It’s good to get out and salute as the procession passes. Maybe next time since you were understandably unaware. These are the real heroes.

Cortege of 75 plus 3 escort motorcycles. Very impressive

[adamgannaway]

Rest in peace. Your brothers and sisters have it from here.

[clairefunnell]

How sad. Looks like a funeral procession. See them in Toronto from time to time. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[KenSch]

That is definitely a funeral procession. I have been in many funeral procession. In the state of North Carolina you are required to stop and wait for every vehicle to pass. I am not sure what the requirements is in every state though.

[beatfarmerfan]

It would have been nice to see people out of their cars, standing with
their right hand over their hearts.

The purple and black ribbons on the ambulance are for a funeral.

[LillyRocket]

Can only hope there is no large fire outbreak somewhere in the opposite direction...

[Scottm]

worlds biggest and slowest fire response

[saddletramp]

These funeral processions for police and firefighters are getting ridiculous. Huge amounts of tax dollars spent.

[Gruntsworth]

The Biden Admin lowered the max speed of emergency vehicles to 20 mph in order save fuel.

Your supposed to get out of the car and put your hand over your heart. Not sit there and film.
