man at least one of those rigs was decent sized(last one out).. The first one out had me giggling. Our rigs or big for a reason in the US, provide protection from other cars etc and we like to carry more stuff on one rig. I have seen an 18 wheeler slam into one of our rig at 60 MPH and our rig stopped it in its tracks(only moved 10 ft or so from the impact). If we had that first out rig in this video that day half of us wouldn't be around. I'm not knocking them, as long as it gets the job done.
@pcfd20 Hey man, It's a very different place compared to the US. Hong Kong is a small, packed city with some very narrow streets in the old parts of town. The smallest rig you see there is the meant to get to the scene even if there's a traffic jam or something else blocking the big rig's way. It's also the only responder if you have somebody trapped in an elevator/ other non-fire calls.
@z3frog Our city's have narrow streets, traffic jams etc yet we still have large rigs to do as i mentioned.. we also have small rescues(not as small as in this video). I was not knocking their rigs by no means by explaining our rigs(US). I just wanted to knock that discussion out be for it gets started. Although i still laugh at those rigs, but that's just a mind set.. They see our rigs as to big and we see theirs as to small. Oh well doesn't matter as long as we all get the job done.
@COUNTRYBOY30268 lol jsut beacause they don't have a Q it doesn't mean that they got bad equipment or are poor! Here none of the FD has a Q and got very good equipment and a lot of money: e.g. the Munich FD bought 58 (!) new Rescue Trucks last year (btw with just 4 burn victims the most succesful City FD in Europe), elsewhere the FD replace all old vehicles of a station at once (keep in mind the average station is bit bigger than in the US: 15 to 20 vehicles at one station aren't uncommon
Wanchai is very near the Central District on Hong Kong Island. This looks like a very warm, pleasant evening - people are all wearing T-Shirts. I used to live there! I never saw a fire - and of course, the Fire Service in Hong Kong is brilliant.
im so glad in the US us firefighters dont have those kind of fire apparatus

Nice to see that people stop and dont walk across the doors, compare this to new york where firefighters have to get out and stop them.

What's that strange siren-like sound at the end of the vid?
weeardguy 1 year ago
@weeardguy
That strange sound comes from the electronic gates of the fire station

@kongsinchi1976 Aha... the first thing that came to my mind when I heard the sound were the 'sirens' used at UK levelcrossings...

唔係每部車都有4個人....
LRU,HP,MP通常都會有5~6個人
TL就3個人
MP同LRU係會有把梯,但MP係有兩把.....
有時d細case唔係下下都去TL.....TL ge作用係做高空救援工作......但一d低層單位用梯都可以到.....而且又快.....總好過TL起梯....又唔洗阻塞交通
