Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service fire engine turning out to a fire

[TheNevilleBartos]

This vid is old, probably 10 years. It's S10, S15 is Wythensawe. The bull horn was removed brigade wide in late 03 or early 04, can't remember exactly. It was because of a complaint on park rd Stretford from a guy in a car who got the good news from the 2nd pump because he didnt see us in his mirror and was changing lanes as we were coming up to pass him at about 40mph. Anyway, some appliances had the bull horn reinstated by members of some stations (not S10) by replacing the fuse for it.

Love the siren!

[Music4Life972]

No buddy there are very few trained to drive.. but the driver is able to carry out all the other roles in the crew too!

I hear you bohemoth1! :)

[comeonublues14]

Is there only 1 driver for each engine, I was under the impression that they all knew how to drive and do all the other roles and they changed duties each shift.

[SirGazButch]

they still have the bull horn's on the fire engines

[stealth1692]

[stealth1692]

[andycoach1965]

the bullhorn has been removed now... apparently it was too aggressive! LOL

[MrJasonSmarts]

lol well thats really gay....

What have you guys got instead? bet it is one of those eletric meep meep horns lol

Stupid country we live in today, bring back the iron lady!

[urbex2007]

@andycoach1965 should be put back on, i am amazed at the amount of other car drivers that fail to see something as big as a fire engine!

[Smithyards]

@andycoach1965 they took the bullhorn away? what is wrong with the fire service these days,

[Ninjahorse]

@andycoach1965 Nice video mate, heard about services removing the bull-horns, it really sucks. I'd like the people who made that decision to define 'too aggressive' when their on a turnout. Our newer engines in Suffolk have got them but they lack proper 2 tone air horns.

[BritishArrow]

Thank you very much. I apologise I will not ever put water on a chip pan fire again. Thank you for coming round and taking care of the situation.

[coach4lifeuk]

[andycoach1965]

I didn't film it, I was driving the fire engine that in front and one of the lads in the truck behind me had a camera with him so he filmed it!

[lukew441]

Sweet so u go the new volvos now at stretford havent you? aww you dont understand how lucky you are :D

[andycoach1965]

[lukew441]

also outside the local youth club in chadderton the other week there was a crew outside there let me have a go of the i think its th dry riser ( black) and B.A n new galet hemetls :D

[andycoach1965]

don't comment on the gruesome stuff until you've experienced it buddy because it is never how you imagine it will be... and the second pump will always catch the first because the first gets held up as it clears the traffic! :0)

[lukew441]

well your right i cant but when i havent experienced it but its a job what my grandad had done and ever since i can remeber i have always wanted to be a fire fighter. bloody good men you are :)

[mlps93]

[andycoach1965]

[lukew441]

Lol, u not on duty tonight then ? and have u been a driver for long? i really want to know how hard the drivers course is beacuse i really want to be a driver once i join the service

[andycoach1965]

No, I'm in community fire safety at the moment... and first you need to become a qualified firefighter... on average it takes 5 to 7 years before you get to drive!

[lukew441]

[andycoach1965]
