Video Appears To Show Pedestrian Walking Into Toronto Fire Truck with Sirens Blaring

A pedestrian who narrowly missed serious injury or possibly death when he walked into a Toronto fire truck with sirens blaring is being scorned on social media. A dashcam video posted on YouTube on Monday appears to show a person attempting to cross the median at St.

A firefighter in the passenger side seat seems to throw up his arms in frustration before giving the pedestrian a stern talk.

Moments later, the video shows another firefighter getting out of the truck to check on the pedestrian who appeared uninjured.

“Unbelievably common, people would be shocked at how oblivious people are to the big flashy truck,” one Reddit poster wrote.

“When it’s one distracted pedestrian walking blindly into traffic, we call them a ‘moron.’ When it’s a whole city of similarly distracted pedestrians walking blindly into traffic, it’s ‘victim blaming,'” said another.

Smart PowerÂ® Systems Announces Severe Duty Marine-Grade Alternators for Smaller Generators

Smart PowerÂ® Systems, a leading manufacturer of hydraulic generators, recently announced that its line of smaller generators (6.2, 8 and 10kW) are now equipped with severe duty marine-grade alternators. These new alternators are designed for the most demanding and robust applications, featuring oversized shaft bearings, P2-grade severe duty capacitors, cast iron end bells, and a marine-grade protective coating applied to the windings and stator.

The alternator oversized bearings provide reduced friction, increased efficiency and dramatically extended life in high vibration mobile applications. Capacitors are now P2-grade (explosion-proof) and constructed of industrial grade materials to far exceed the durability of standard-grade capacitors. Cast iron end bells are used in place of aluminum to secure the bearings, providing additional support strength and rigidity in high shock and vibration environments. The high-temperature thick enamel coating applied to the windings and stator provide a tough oil/water barrier that also protects alternator components from chemical and debris damage.

For more information, contact Smart Power Systems at 231-832-5525 x-248 or e-mail sales@smartpower.com.
