I certainly don't see any abuse of the siren or horn in that video especially if it's in the industrial area where they're not waking up people.  The biggest problem I see if the video is where your friend stopped his car.  If the equipment had been turning right they would have had to make a sharper turn to avoid hitting him.  Also the bus could not pull over because of where he was parked.

I remember an old battalion chief many years back encouraging the lieutenants and drivers to use their sirens and hit their air horns when responding at night to "remind the taxpayers" that, even though they might be laying in their beds at 3AM, their fire fighters are earning their pay, 24/7, helping others.

We get people calling and complaining about sirens at Oh dark 30 and I just tell them aside from the obvious line that it's required, it lets those who need help know help is coming.
