Great video. Two nights ago a shop had a fire at about 12:30am. Our crew is retained and they got there pretty damn fast, the shop is badly damaged but not gutted. They might even be able to rescue some of the electrical goods by the windows, depending on how badly smoke damaged it is.
@yambok That also reminds me about using money and time wisely, turnouts! The reason you see alot of appliances sent to an incident is because the control room that is mobilising appliances cannot see the job they rely on the caller to explain. As we are sent after control establish where, what, who, which takes less than a minute, we then get extra info on the way. Unwanted appliances once a STOP message has been sent can be turned home. BTW no offence to NHS employees we rely on you alot.
@yambok Who told you we don't get many 999 calls? They must of been a quiet station for them to say that. As for cleaning we are a public service that the public expects to be clean and reliable. The only Firefighters that polish machines are recruits at training centre, the only thing we will polish is Boots. I just wish the NHS could follow in our foot steps and keep things clean and use money and time wisely.
Reply to Yambok, yet another frustrated potential recruit who can't pass his entrance tests. You need to do some research on the role of a fire fighter, or stop reading books from the 70's and 80's. As for few 999 calls, you obviously live in a very rural area. Rather than talking nonsense, give support to the public services that you one day, may rely on.
Superb video. I've seen the fire brigade in action at 2 incidents, both house fires and both with the possibility of people trapped. I saw 1 fire in Wellingborough Northants and the other in Leicester. To watch both brigades in action was awesome, the professionalism was unmatched and I for one am thankful that ff's everywhere are there to save lives when needed and are ready to put their lives on the line for you!!. Whatever they get paid is not enough
@yambok Thousands of ff's have given their lives so that people like you can live. Please have some respect for the people who, day in day out, go in to situations that they know they may never return from. Rant over.
@yambok I think you'd want some rest time working that amount as well. I'd like to see you go in to a burning building, the heat so intense that your skin starts to blister and your fire gear starts smoking too... your body is exhausted but you have to carry on... you find a casualty and then have to carry them out... get outside to be told to go back in and finish the job. Get back to station, can hardly move and then get called out to do it all again.
@yambok iif your house was on fire and you were trapped in one of the rooms and were praying the fire service will be there in time to rescue you, I'm sure you'd want a fit, healthy team who know exactly how to work with each other and are confident in risking their lives together so they can rescue you. Don't get many calls? My station does about 1,500 calls a year. That's an average station. Some other in London do up to 6,000 a year. In a 39 hour period we'll work 30 hours on the night shift
@yambok of course we eat on shift... we're human beings, it's a basic function in order to survive. Watch videos? Yes we watch videos- videos that teach us how to be safe in fire, videos that show how it can go wrong- where firefighters have given up their lives at incidents... so people like you can live your life. Play snooker? No. Play volleyball? Sometimes... it keeps us fit, improves teamwork and morale...
@yambok oh dear someone else jealous of the praise we sometimes get. Speaking from the perspective of a London fireman (and probably most other ff's) we go out in to the community during the day to put up smoke alarms and give fire safety talks to keep people safe if they were caught in a fire. This is done every day. We also drill a couple of hours a day to keep up our standards and test the equipment that keeps us alive in dangerous situations and saves the lives of members of the public.

What a is this a Fire Service love in, I worked as a retained firefighter for thirteen years and it was the most insular and elitist organisation that I have ever been employed by. The British Public have know idea how the Fire Service is funded or works and that it operates a two tier service depending on where you live. The council taxpayers of Cornwall were not impressed that the second pump could not turnout to the fatal Penhallow hotel fire or the residents of Lakanal House Camberwell.
im a uk firefighter, thanks for the dedication its great to know that there are people that support us, thankyou very much for your dedication, respect and support.
I agree with the comment about the pic of the 2 lads at te container fire .. Either Germany or Sweden. Also a pic in there of Cork fire service, Ireland - taken outside a station with men at attention and Appliances in backround... And even the tri colour can be seen in the backround at half mast !
The picture of 2 firefighters in BA approaching a fire in a container in a cobbled street outside a place with the 2 umbrellas up and someone in a red jacket holding a yellow bag behind the tape...... is German... just thought I'd let you know!
as for the BA shuffle, you have your weight on your back leg and do a sweep with the front, so hopefully you would find a hole our stairway for example, before you fell down it. Its just we do it diffferently over here, im sure both systems work just aswell as eachother
Great vid... one question im a jr ff in america and i see vids of your search and rescues why do u stand and do the "ba shuffel"? isnt it safer to be low so you can stay outa heat and tell if there is a hole in front of you???? Well be safe and i have respect for the British fire service, you guys are shure as hell fast and great ppl
Thats right you are better staying low, but you have to gauge the incident, if you are going into a fire and the neutral plane is low then obviuosly you would get down lower, the fact being the hotter you get the more you sweat/breathe and reduce your working time,
