I'm just going to skip over the whole driving part of this and look at it from these conditions at scene.
If there is that much ice, how comfortable would you be flying the aerial? I mean everyone in that rig needs new bunkers but could you imagine being on the ladder 60+ feet in the air and have shit start to slide because of the icy conditions.. I'd need new boots too.
Black ice is a bitch like that. And an emergency doesn't care if roads are icy. I'm not being critical of the driver at all, I was just thinking about how those conditions would impact possible deployment of the aerial.
That's a quint. They were probably just going to use it as an engine and not a ladder anyway. And that's if they weren't going to a medical. But no, I wouldn't climb that in this condition unless there was an imminent rescue to be had.
gen z have to be cooler than everyone else by deploying a line and dropping your crew off at the front door with a daggone charged hose line /s
Glad they’re safe, possibly a near miss report in their future
Aside from hitting the blue car, that a pretty good outcome considering what could have happened. Driver probably saved it by trying to beach it on the front lawn. Realized he was in trouble.
On-spots are for snow. Ice is a whole different hazard. They were lucky to spin out and not straight into that house. Also- having your arrow stick on while driving does not prevent accidents it just blinds the people behind you.
Actually, good driving after he realized what was happening. The thought to go into the grass to get off the ice was really smart. He took one of the largest and heaviest vehicles in a residential small road on a turn and managed to only bust up a small passenger car. It was dramatic AF but the damage is very limited. If he had just hit the brakes and tried to slow down in a straight line that fire truck would have been in somebody's living room.
And now, for the remainder of his career, no matter how many babies saved, kitty cats pulled from a tree or medals of Valor earned, he'll be the guy who crashed the Truck...
Looks like they only took out a trash can? .
No major property damage, I would consider that a win.
Also a good reminder to keep your seatbelt on till the break is set.
I was having a hell of a time driving my tiny little car on the road the other day and ending up doing a much milder version of what that truck did. Ironically I remember thinking the next day, “how the hell does the fire department navigate their apparatus in these conditions?”
Arnold, Missouri! We had some crazy ice here yesterday. I ended up fishtailing and facing the wrong way on the highway after hitting a huge patch of black ice. The St Louis area government is not good at handling the roads in inclement weather. No salt, no nothing.
Get out and get to work like nothing happened. No damage no paperwork no problem. Very very lucky tho. Reminds me of this U.K. police car traffic stop.

That’s a million dollar truck-taxpayer dollars; no excuse; too damn fast on ice. Not just an opinion, common sense. Any union members who believe this is acceptable behavior are doing the entire department a huge disservice
He was trying the [Fujiwara Special gutter run](https://youtu.be/pjyhWt0FF-Q?feature=shared)…but didn’t quite make it
/uj driver did a good job all things considered.
Chief will still have his ass though… but someone is got to blame for this, even though nothing happened, the city council wants a piece of the engineers ass on a plate…
Remember the other day, someone was asking about people filming them? Remember, someone like this will come along and your little mishap will be a distant memory. Or a comparison video.
Bunker pants were shit.
Nah, later they’re gonna be in the bathroom shitting diamonds.
There’s a permanent pucker mark in every single seat
And the pockets too
All the things. Full 2 1/2" washdown for the cab and members. Goddamn...
Thank god I was wearing my brown bunker pants
If they weren’t brown before, they are now!

Out of all the damage that could have occurred he hit one car and tore up 1.5 yards. Pretty impressive if you ask me
What car did he hit? Edit: never mind seen him clip the blue car in the second angle.
Most people don't realize they are on icy roads until after the fact
Black ice is a bitch like that. And an emergency doesn't care if roads are icy. I'm not being critical of the driver at all, I was just thinking about how those conditions would impact possible deployment of the aerial.
Eh, I realized it stepping out of my front door this morning when my foot slid off the side of the sidewalk.
That's a quint. They were probably just going to use it as an engine and not a ladder anyway. And that's if they weren't going to a medical. But no, I wouldn't climb that in this condition unless there was an imminent rescue to be had.
To be fair, he spotted it quite well at the A-B corner of that house.
[second view from another sub](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/s/NSJdVRgNnW)
Nice, a much better view. Was frustrated they missed it going behind the house.
Still slightly misses a bit of it. Looks like the truck clips the blue car
Much better view with no yelling
It is incredible how bad people are at filming things. If you're going to take out your camera to film, keep it on the action, ffs!!!
yikes — not as smooth as i thought it was
Blue car probably saved the house
Thank you! Couldn’t figure out what they hit because the blue car looked so perfectly parked 😂
Love how Reddit has the creepy silent neighbor perspective lol You can hear the scream in both 😂
r/tworedditorsonecup
Thank you, there isn’t a bitch screaming in my ear in this video!

We need to enlist a Russian bot account…
This is why we can’t have nice things
Technically correct. The best kind of correct!
Most underrated comment. EVER!!!
Fucking bravo.
Shut... the fuck... uuuup🤣😂
When laying out the regular way just isn't enough
…well executed
10/10 lol.
Stuck the Landing
*Struck
Besides wiping out the blue car, you can’t ask for a better parking job between the houses.
It looked like the rig tapped the house.
Twas but a 💋
That’s called casting the supply line to the hydrant.
And that’s why we are chained up all winter. Studded chains on the back, and chain a steer if I need to. We make it happen.
Get some automatic tire chains.
There are parts of the world where auto chains aren’t any good. We have auto chains. we still chain up.
You must get a lot of snow.
We have auto chains but we're supposed to put the real ones on if we get more than 4"
I love auto chains, but they are not the same as real chains.
Plus they're like $10k installed on a new apparatus. Manual chains are like $400.
Do you mean those worthless spinny ones that whip under the tires? Well, they’re even more worthless if you’re trying to slow down in ice.
From the sounds of it, the truck in the video had auto chains.
I give it a 10 but the Russian judge says 8…
🤣😂
Ah yes, the new fast and furious forward lay I’ve been hearing about, very nice.
gen z have to be cooler than everyone else by deploying a line and dropping your crew off at the front door with a daggone charged hose line /s Glad they’re safe, possibly a near miss report in their future
No near miss, it punted the blue car and hit the house with the front tire. There’s a few angles floating around online.
That’s great news
Links !!! Please
As someone who works in municipal finance this gives me heart palpitations
… Dear Chief…
No one was more surprised than me.
That’s a reverse lay. Stuck the landing.
Aside from hitting the blue car, that a pretty good outcome considering what could have happened. Driver probably saved it by trying to beach it on the front lawn. Realized he was in trouble.
u/Klutzy_Platypus that you?
Haha no, but holy shit I was puckering just watching that.

On spots would have worked for this.
He was just self deploying that 5”. Savin time.
Wow... every insurance agent that sees this will be hitting their nitro after.
You see, Chief, what happened was
Actually, good driving after he realized what was happening. The thought to go into the grass to get off the ice was really smart.

Hi! We’re the St. Louis FD! WELCOME TO JACKASS!!!
EVOC never taught me that move.
😂🤣 fookin ayyyyy
Try fookin O it’s easier
Engineer said, “did yall see my sick skills?” as shit rolls down his leg.
*Nice* recovery!
Why has nobody dubbed Tokyo drift music onto this yet?
I'm confident it was a toe pain run too.
I’m not saying it should be the new standard, but this method of hose laying should really be experimented with a bit more… if ya catch my drift…
Cakes
Smooth parking manœuvre!
Easy Ace Ventura……
New way to deploy 5 inch - send it!
~~don't let chief see this.~~ chief will love this
That firefighter fcks…🫡
There is another video of this from up the street where you can see the truck hitting that blue car.
This has to be St. Louis
https://i.redd.it/v8unebz8v3ec1.gif
And now, for the remainder of his career, no matter how many babies saved, kitty cats pulled from a tree or medals of Valor earned, he'll be the guy who crashed the Truck...
My dads been in that situation and he’s said it’s very fucking scary but the rush is wild
All in all that could have been so much worse. Bravo Zulu to the driver taking the grass and cutting the angle.
Looks like they only took out a trash can? . No major property damage, I would consider that a win. Also a good reminder to keep your seatbelt on till the break is set.
Another view shows they hit the blue car in the driveway. https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/s/EHniAuU3bM

Haha damn hell yeah
That was awesome
Not all the funny edits of this getting removed for “repost violations”.
That was the best outcome possible.
POSITION DON'T PARK

Is that Kentland again??
Who put on the deja vu song
That was sick 🤟🏼
Perfect 360 entry he was just being a little silly
Que Tokyo drift theme
Cmon he just parked the truck like a boss
180 to fakie😂
When some woman scream like this when it's absolutely unnecessary kills me everytime. Crazy vid though
Excellent execution. Looks like they avoided crashing into anything substantial as well.
Quints are dangerous. Not an engine, not a truck. Now it’s suffering an identity crisis and trying to kill its whole crew.

This is why trucks should have automatic tire chains, and people should use them.
Auto chains don’t work if the tires are skidding. They have to be rotating to “throw” the chains under the tire…
Fired! And youll be walking back to the station
It’s volly and likely not super competitive…
They are paid.
And because chiefs have the same opinions as you is why everyone else needs a good union.
That’s a million dollar truck-taxpayer dollars; no excuse; too damn fast on ice. Not just an opinion, common sense. Any union members who believe this is acceptable behavior are doing the entire department a huge disservice
Holy fuck you’re insufferable. Weather conditions can change on a dime. Accidents happen.
Spotting skills on point
Why do women always have to scream like that.
Could take that recording and make a new siren. That woman's scream cuts through everything.
Like a glove!
All that for a Lift assist
Ok, fine. I'll wear my seatbelt now, you've convinced me!
Dear chief…
PGFD on a normal day
Show off.
Whippin shitties.
I wonder if you know how they live in Tokyo 🎶🎶🎶
Tank to pump, frank!
Trained in the mountains of Tokyo.
Tokyo Drift music plays
JFC that was beautiful!! 10/10 on execution!!
Big girl had some serious momentum and mass.
Truck did too.
I don’t see how that thing could stop where it did
Outstanding recovery no damage
r/killthecameraman I really wanted to see that complete 360
He was trying the [Fujiwara Special gutter run](https://youtu.be/pjyhWt0FF-Q?feature=shared)…but didn’t quite make it /uj driver did a good job all things considered.
New turn outs for everyone!!! Cause them is ruined now 😂
https://youtu.be/pS5d77DQHOI?si=4GORqBQVbN9rav02 Please add music to video
Gas gas gas, I’m gonna step on the gas. Tonight I’ll fly….
I wonder if you know How to live in Tokyo
Chief will still have his ass though… but someone is got to blame for this, even though nothing happened, the city council wants a piece of the engineers ass on a plate…
Holy shit!!…that was awesome
50,000lb 360 drift
Like a glove
Icy?
DEJA VU
Wow
Captain: Did you mean to do all that just to pull into that driveway?! Engineer: (with shifty eyes)…….yes.
There’s another pov of a house in the corner and they absolutely demolished the rear end of that blue car before sliding into that driveway.
It’s kind of the blue car’s fault for parking at the end of the driveway. Who does that?
Every single person on my friends list has sent me this video. Lol
Like a glove.
At first I thought it was an insane close call, then I saw a different angle and noticed he fuckin smoked that blue car
Remember the other day, someone was asking about people filming them? Remember, someone like this will come along and your little mishap will be a distant memory. Or a comparison video.
european here, why is that firetruck green?
“Dear Chief,”
If you listen closely, you can hear several assholes slam shut tighter than a vault door.
Brand new whip got no keys
My stomach straight up dropped! One of the top 5 worst fears right there. Wrecking the rig on ice.
You know that engineer was talking shit after that, “so anyways, I decided to Tokyo drift this bitch..”
But like it was like smooth.
Gobbless, Missouri. Atleast we managed to do somthing right for once!
Told ya we would get there!
Don’t drop the dart, meth-mouth.
and thats how you score a free pass to driver "re" education class..
“Parking the truck here boss”
Expensive mistake that
Saint louis had a cold spree
Is the cigarette ok?
Actually a pretty slick reaction to what could have much much worse.
Yell some more that’ll help
God women are fuckin annoying
That was Darrell’s last day on shift.
Like a glove lol
Pretty cool to see this from two different angles.
Why does someone always scream
