Fire Rescue Unit LFB Euston fire station

[KarbenEmergency]

I don't like the first siren .... -.-

[KarbenEmergency]

Dirk! Warum nur 360 p ? Oder spinnt mein Rechner?

[onionpoo]

Stupid eu regulation frenchmobile sounding sirens ! Bring back the old two tone horns

[JamesDS95]

Yes Its only blue, but some rare doctors emergency cars are green

[pyro999maniac]

@JamesDS95 if a doctor is on an emergency call they use blue as long as they have the correct training. green is used by local doctors going on calls but it does not give them exemtions from road traffic laws...it merely requests priority.

[gibbymcgibson]

whats a shout?

[3331Simpsons]

ein bisschen langweilig!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrSambr]

yes they do in the ik, emergency services use blue and sometimes redl ights.

[MrPim1997]

i love the lights and siren on this thing.

[deano8957]

where did the ladders go?? would they weight the ategos over limit??

[chibichinko]

@deano8957 This is a Rescue Unit, not a fire engine. It doesnt have ladders. :-)

[traineespark]

@chibichinko be nice if it had a small one :)

[thomaskingnight99]

cool lights nice eletronic siren have seen this vidio loads of times

10 out of 10

[marcinex998]

Modulacja z tego Atego jest identyczna jak w polskich Mercedesach ;)

[fireeater999cmcc]

Can I ask what may be a silly question... but I've noticed it in a lot of videos, why don't the appliances over there have blue lights on the sides of them above the lockers like most other brigades do, or if they do have them like in this video, they aren't used?

Cheers lads stay safe,

[raiman99]

looks like a damn long "radstand"

[SuperDagobertDuck]

@raiman99 da sagst was... ^^

[aznfilipinoboi]

In the Philippines the car alarms sounds like that. xDD

[Ossie7Alpha]

Red Flashing Lights are mainly on Police Traffic Cars or IRVs, when they've stopped or are moving slowly.

[tinkerbell00jenni00]

where have all the ladders gone

[pyro999maniac]

@tinkerbell00jenni00 FRUs don't carry them

[jerisergcool90]

way to long for a city

[ImRatherTall]

@jerisergcool90 not really, not that bad for the 3rd largest fire department in the world!

[RoSKolibri94]

Epic Sound *-* Awesome...

But our in Germany is better.

The Fire Truck is a little bit long xD? :D SO long like 2 Fire Trucks in Germany.. :)

[adamb936]

great vid

[ttmm1133]

nice lights do they only use blue 4 emergency vehicles in the UK?

[fightnight1989]

Green for doctor.. And ive seen some fire trucks use orange :S

[s34n93]

yep only blue, we have red flashers on the rear to warn traffic when stationary at an incident but apart from that we only use blue apart from doctors who use green but you dont see them as often as we have the first response paramedics these days

[KooKas2oo8]

Fire/Ambulance Services can only use blue lights on their cars. Doctor's cars use blue and green. Police also use blue lights but with rear-reds.

[ImRatherTall]

@KooKas2oo8 Blue on blood cars/vans (some use red), Coastguard too

[collin341]

@ttmm1133

yup alla cross europe ( part from spain i believe) they use blue emergency lights

[bum291]

@collin341 Greece has red on the fire trucks, cyprus has red/blue on firetrucks and red on ambulances. (there are a few exceptions to that rule... but in general though).

[pcjoel999]

@ttmm1133 some have rear facing reds and Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service has orange and blue on their lightbars but we don't use reds facing forward

[DJjoshDempsey]

@ttmm1133 Yes, it's illegal to fit them to civiliand vehicles also.

[LoZz]

@ttmm1133 yes

[04smallmj]

@ttmm1133 Yes, but doctors can use green lights. Red flashing lights are only allowed on the back of emergency vehicles.

[mOviestarthw12]

@ttmm1133 Yes.

[KhornateMonkey]

@ttmm1133 Most of the Time yes, But on Police Patrol cars they have red on the Back to warn drivers. and Companys such as the Highways Agency use Amber lights

[04smallmj]

@ttmm1133 yah, but green is used for doctors. Red can only be used as rear facing lights. Red forward facing lights are a stupid idea...

[ditso2k9]

@ttmm1133 yeah

[xKnallkoppx]

@ttmm1133 also in Germany we have just the blue lights

[IITuttyII]

@ttmm1133 Yeah but the new lightbars do have little red lights in them, as to say slow down in a traffic accident or something.

[chibichinko]

@ttmm1133 Yes, all emergency vehicles in the UK only use blue lights to the front and red and blue to the rear, mostly when stationary is when the reds are activated.

[LoZz]

@ttmm1133 yes, only blues

[daggertom1]

@ttmm1133 Generally speaking yes, however doctors vehicles have green lights, and the highways agency have amber

[nerdlydood]

@ttmm1133 they sometimes use one or two white lights in front and a few red lights in back in addition to the blue lights.

[LoZz]

@ttmm1133 yes, red as well sometimes

[SouthernNorthener2]

@ttmm1133 yes,

Blue = emergency clear a path

Green = much the same (doctors car)

some blue lights have red lights in the back too, this is simply so they can be seen better in unlit areas at night

[traineespark]

@SouthernNorthener2 Red lights are generally used in the back when the handbrake is on... so that traffic etc can see red lights with blue and know (or should know) that red means stop... Thats the way it works in Ireland anyway....

[SouthernNorthener2]

@traineespark for the UK im not 100% sure on the hand break bit but yes, sorry, i ment red is used when a vehicle has stopped.

[Bilbodr]

@ttmm1133 yeh

[heavyhaulage1]

@ttmm1133 Just Fire and Ambulance, Police use Reds.

[skelton1089]

@ttmm1133

I think that its illegal in the UK for red lights to be facing forward, so all emergency vehicles use blue. I think, but I'm not sure.

[04smallmj]

@skelton1089 Correct, some use rear reds. The only odd colour is green, which is used on doctor's cars.

[PoliceAmbulanceFire]

@ttmm1133 yeah just blues but doctors can use green lights and the do use red lights but only when they are blocking of a road.

[enchantified]

That's what my school fire alarm sounds like. >.> I reckon they just send someone out to record emergency vehicle sirens and throw them in the fire alarms at school. For srs.

[KooKas2oo8]

Or, even easier, they buy the same sirens that the fire service buys :p maybe somewhere you have a lightbar in your school which plays the sound.

[LeBeggoar]

lol the first siren sound, sounds like my alarm oager

[X0n3]

the siren remember me at american siren!

[MrShadow281]

Not American Siren Mate, Its National Sirens

[glennpompier]

Blimey......slow turnout? Must be Red Watch

[Fireman2509]

nice led lightbar

[KooKas2oo8]

LED lightbars are really popular in Britain. Eventually the rotator will be extinct ...

[lightningpete]

thats because the LED's are better at making motorists and the general piblic aware of an emergency, the bulbs last a hell of a lot longer, they can be seen some 50%+ better in bad weather conditions including fog, and are amazing for on large road networks such as motorways, as many motorists see before they hear.

[KooKas2oo8]

Yep, that's true :p also, they do use less power afaik.

[LeeFromEngland]

One downside is that you can't use low intensity in fog or snow conditions so you get a lot of return glare. Our ambulance has the ability to use low intensity on the strobes. Our fire rescue unit doesn't because it has LEDS. In daytime though I would take LED every time

[sonconmas]

Here in Wymondham in Norfolk, 1 or 2 of the engines have rotators with hi lo horns!

[EmergencyVehiclesUK]

Great video!

[pez635]

Lovely Video!

[Harvey142009]

LFBUW used to own this

[RascarDK]

Nice use of sirens.
