Firefighter volunteer pwede ba magpalagay ng wangwang/blinker sa sasakyan?

Kahit saan ka magpunta may mga gray areas talaga kaya nga lagi mong tatandaan when in doubt always err on the side of caution.
It starts din naman sa atin when one gives way to an emergency vehicle others will follow kaya kung walang nagbibigay ikaw ang magsimula.

Umikot lang yata, sir. Ayaw na nga magbigayan dahil sa mga pasaway. Kung walang pasaway, di walang problema sa daan.

kung yan ang pananaw mo sa buhay well then good luck. every situation presents an opportunity to improve, di mawawala ang mga pasaway nasa syo na kung gusto mo tumulad sa kanila. sana kung dadating ang araw na maraming kumakain ng *** wag ka gumaya sa kanila.

Meron pa rin naman mga naka blinkers na unmarked or private. minsan nakikita ko naka patay, minsan naka on naman pero they patiently wait and abide traffic.
pero nung tuesday may nakita ako sa makati along makati ave. black color not sure kung camry, accord or benz yun eh from side ko kasi nakita. Naka on blinkers niya and hazard light and patiently waiting for traffic pero nung pag dating sa traffic light ng Gil Puyat bigla kumanan ayun humataw bigla not sure kung kasma niya isang patrol kasi kumanan din tapos hataw din takbo pero walang blinkers yun patrol (or hindi ko napansin?)

Batas po yan sa ibang bansa. Na Pilipinas po tayo.

Wala naman akong sinabi na gawin natin or pwede din sa atin.. Nagbibigay lang ako ng reference na sa ibang bansa pinapayagan ng government with some conditions..

In short, para nyo na rin sinabing wala sa batas ng Pilipinas na pwedeng gumamit ng blinkers ang mga volunteers. Kaya huwag na tayong pasaway.

Hindi ko alam kung nasa batas ba ng Pilipinas yan o wala. Neutral ako sa issue na yan. Wag mo lagyan ng meaning yung sinasabi ko.

Sabi ko nga sa earlier post eh pwede naman pag usapan ang mga ganitong issue sa magandang paraan. Hehe. No need to get rash about it guys.

In that light, if we actually took the law to the letter it only says government ambulances and bfp firetrucks and police vehicles. So it means private fire trucks and ambulances are not included in that law. Oh no! Hehe. The private ambulance industry is a fast growing business nowadays, please apprehend us now.

Yes that is the Lifeline spark. It is registered as a private vehicle with the LTO also. The ambucare mystery machine is still in the works but I doubt if it will be a small hatchback considering how overweight most of us are and that we operate in flood prone areas.

madami talaga abusado sa wangwang pero for me, pag may wangwang, tumatabi ako out of courtesy kahit sa ambulance pa ng punenarya.

minsan talaga nakakainis tulad ng kanina. Ambulance ng hospital, pa u-turn na ako sa edsa q. Ave tapos may padating na ambulance. akala nya ata tutuloy ako kaya nag highbeam and nag short shot ng wangwang. pinadaan ko lang kaya nga lang nainis lang ako kasi lumiko lang siya papuntang drive thru ng mcdo... mga abusado talaga... haay :-(

With regards to crashes, we allow both fully marked and marked p.o.v units to undergo the same investigative procedures should contact with another vehicle, property or pedestrian occur. At least in our company and brigade. The minimum requirement in our side of town is that private units must also bear markings so as not to be classified as unmarked. My p.o.v. is marked so at least thats one hurdle over. The rest, well, we aren't government units so there's no point in that. All our units including the ones that provide a fee per use service are technically not included in the antiquated martial law rule.

Just the same, ems and fire fighters can also be charged appropriately if they have failed to do their duty correctly resulting in wrongful death or injury.

There are numerous private search and rescue companies in the market today for those who do not want to avail of volunteer services.

Sir coder, despite being marked, the previously posted units are all privately owned so its a field day for all the legal eagles out there. . And there are no rules as to how "marked" a vehicle needs to be. Otherwise, its time to apprehend Lifeline's Spark of Life Chevy Spark. Its marked, yes. But its still a private vehicle by class.

And just to make it clear, no proper volunteer or private service provider would allow unmarked units whether company owned or privately owned to use traffic control equipment especially when in motion. I have never seen an unmarked unit at a medical call or fire scene. All vehicles have at least some marking or livery to identify them but then if we took the law to the letter, it still wouldn't be enough unless we probably switched them over to red plates. Something not bound to happen soon with companies like Lifeline, Aeromed and the volunteer community.

And if anyone wants to complain, sa mooncake festival matatagpuan ang biggest collection ng private ambulances, fire trucks and p.o.v's. ang next ay new year and then sa march na. . Yan lang kasi ang time na nagkikita kita lahat.

Wala namang problema Doc whether privately owned ba yan o hindi, as long as my proper marking. Problem kasi sa blinker eh masyadong tong naabuso, kahit sino pwede mag lagay.

I personally salute you for the services you've rendered to the community, and you have my highest respect.

Some of the remarks remind me of a certain hospital management level person who contended that the hospital personnel should not rescue the accident victim of a motorcycle crash despite the crash happening in front of the hospital as there could be legal repercussions against the hospital should they decide to attempt a rescue as the nurses and doctors have not been formally trained by the hospital to carry out such work (it isnt that hard). Mas problema pa niya yun instead of the victim laying on the pavement. Rescuers from another part of town came after almost an hour on the pavement.

Also the same person that complained when volunteers visited the hospital to help in the clean up after habagat. Again more pre occupied with looking for the legal basis of such actions instead of being thankful that people actually spared their time to help just so the hospital can go back to regular operations sooner.

And again, peace po tayo mga tsikoteers. . Not trying to down anyone here. All views and opinions are respected and we actually read the stuff you post here when we are waiting for calls.
