As usual another great video clip!! Love those European style apparatus!! Sweet tower in the background too.

Thanks!

The Sky Tower ain't quite the CN, but it is still the tallest free-standing structure Down Under. At 328m its 127m taller than Vancouver's new Shangri-La, but then, Aucks doesn't have spectacular mountain views to protect, like Van does...

And who marked this comment as spam?

LOL.

Note the camera flash in the Skytower windows at 0:20!

Millions!

Arthur Brown - "Fire"

Ohio Players - "Fire"

Franz Ferdinand - "This Fire"

Bloodhound Gang - "The Roof is on Fire"

The Trammps - "Disco Inferno"

Donna Summer - "Hot Stuff"

These are just the ones that pop into my head, and some are more appropriate than others. There are some other ones like the one off Ladder 49 that get thrashed way too much by other fire buffs on here, plus a couple I'm not going to name because I want to use them myself at some stage!

[TheFireRescue1]

Great Vid

[scotsfire]

what was the blue flash at the start

[thekiwicanuck]

Its the lights on 611 shining through the blue-tinted sun visor strip along the top of the Mitsi's windscreen.

[thekiwicanuck]

The angled window glass bends and distorts the image behind it, so you can see the truck's roof lights in two places at once...

Sorry about the shocking one-star quality yesterday folks! YouTube was taking forever to load the HQ version, so I took it offline overnight. Looks fine now...
