When police receive a 911 call for an address with a locked security gate, i.e. the estate of someone with enough money for a gated perimeter, how do they get onto the property if the owner is unwilling to allow access? Do they have some way to override the codes?
Because it the fire station is on fire!!! How ironic is that??
Does it goes off at specific times? Some departments set it off at certain times like noon. Otherwise walk into the fire department and ask.
Under CA law, a code 3 run is defined as driving with lights on and sounding a siren when necessary. If they don't need it, they won't use it because people complain about them making too much noise (doesn't matter that the lights and sirens are on because they're trying to save someones life, they complain anyway). No siren doesn't mean anything, you still have to yield to it.
A gun can fire a bullet in space. All the gun does is change the velocity of the bullet relative to the gun, changing its orbit. Suppose you had a (fairly slow muzzle velocity) gun with a muzzle velocity of 1000 feet per second, and you were in space, traveling in the International Space Station. You put on your space suit, go outside, and shoot the gun. If you pointed the gun in the direction the ISS is traveling, you just added 1000 fps to the velocity, putting the bullet into a higher orbit, but with a perigee at the same height as you were when you fired the gun. After some large number of orbits, the bullet and the ISS may come close together again, with the bullet again having a relative velocity of 1000 fps. This could cause damage to the ISS or an astronaut working outside at the time. Probably a bad idea. Firing the gun opposite to the direction the ISS is traveling will cause the bullet to have a lower orbit, and its apogee will be the same height as you were when you fired the gun. Likewise, after a large number of orbits, the bullet would come close to the ISS again, this time also with a relative velocity of 1000 fps, and again could cause damage to the ISS or injury to an astronaut. Note that even here on Earth, the bullet or shell fired from a gun is really in an orbit, just one that intersects the surface of the Earth if it misses everything else near its path. Of course, this bullet or shell has air friction as well.
OK I can help you here because I was also a volunteer fireman for 10 years, from age 17 to 27. - Your fire department may be a paid department, however I would bet that they also have a volunteer contingent. It may appear that it is all paid firefig
