London Fire Chief in Audi TT on a Shout

[Michael1918]

I don't see why he needs blue lights & sirens, am guessing everyone is on scene already including the watch commander and there teams of highly trained men so I don't see what the emergency still is, the situation is under control... if these people can have blue lights & sirens why can't Community First Responders who are going to people not breathing or having a heart attack.. aslong as there having the correct training and bluelights I don't see the problem.

[mruj5]

what is he a fireman or a hairdresser?

[bigytye]

classic car for our cheif fire officer

[dougdolly]

this is not the chief fire officers car it is in fact area manager mark Strutts car

[mortgagewizard40]

couldnt agree more, wouldnt we all like an audi tt with blues and twos..(hell yeah). i notice someone said Maestro in the comments..How a station officers life has changed, but then the maestro was the "bees knees" then,,geesh i can remember the station officer at my local station ,when i was a kid, drove a morris marina with a blue light,. imagine the laughs you would get now hammering ,er chugging down the road in a marina with a blue light on,,lol..those were the days.(sad old git moment)

[daniel32885]

Excellenty!

[Ikeui]

The bar on top looks too big for the car, but I like it :D

[onionpoo]

Jammy git

[SonofthePhantom]

that thing just goes like stink!

[Ossie7Alpha]

@urbex2007 Any unmarked fire vehicles are usually the property of the officer, the point of the fire cars are to get senior officers to the scene of larger emergencies, so that they can give orders.

[magneticbeacon]

thats a big light bar for that size of car

[taphoenix]

The Chief sure knows how to ride in style!

[Francisco99FS]

Yes, it is the whelen CemCom

[briantwigley]

A complete waste of money. Go back to maestros....

[04smallmj]

@briantwigley It wasn't bought with tax payer's money...

[urbex2007]

@briantwigley Exactly, taxpayers should NOT be paying for this type of vehicle or the fuel it uses. I would suggest an investigation in to this practice of using such cars when other fire service vehicles are available. One thing noticable is that the car does not contain much, if any, rescue equipment. What use would that be attending a house fire. Does it hold water? Does it have BA equipment? Does it have a ladder?

This is a severe misuse of funds and firemen wonder why jobs are going!!!

[briantwigley]

@urbex2007 Yup. Officers cars don't need to hold equipment, only fire gear. Go back to the days where ADOs got a Maestro and DOs got a black car of some description.

[Zildjian285]

@urbex2007

Before you jump to conclusions this is the fire officers' own vehicle. It was paid for my him. It doesn't need to carry any equipment, only himself.

[nightflyyerfan]

@urbex2007 thats his own vehicle

[gkaplan1203]

Audi is the only brand that is known as a luxury car in every country!

[wernvilla2]

@gkaplan1203 Rolls Royce?? :S

[bigfootcal]

anyone know what siren that is?

[061zgz]

@bigfootcal

Yep, wail and air horn.

[eggcarton1]

@bigfootcal Whelen

[Francisco99FS]

The english government hat got very lucky with this cars

[ITW84]

at last a usefull audi titie

[EnjoyFirefighting]

nice looking and sound, but why the hell a TT? Wh not BMW X1, Porsche cayenne or something like that?

[FalloutZombie2010]

@EnjoyFirefighting why whats wrong with audi, audi is better then bmw

[EnjoyFirefighting]

@FalloutZombie2010 because in a TT isn't much place for any material (not even for documentation and so on, And if you want Audi, why not an A4 or A6 Avant?

[ImRatherTall]

@EnjoyFirefighting

A BMW X1 and a Porsche Cayenne are 2 totally different cars, the X1 is a soft roader with 2-3litre engines, slow car, the Cayenne is a 3-4.5litre V8 fuel thirsty ugly piece of shit!

Personally, the TT is a good choice, theyre actually quite spacious and im sure hes got room for his stuff, hence why he drives it.....!

[gavinhezz]

omg give me a break. why the hell does he need a Audi?

[ImRatherTall]

@gavinhezz

its his car. he paid for it!

[jksolutions1]

I think it´s the civil car from him....just customized with lightbars + horn....

[chizz32]

Awesome!!!!!

[iamjesper]

wow what a sped

[devontrainfreak]

good horn

[DJCossie]

now that thw Dogs Bolox

[ImRatherTall]

wow, thats something you dont see everyday, i bet the police in the area are jealous, driving around in thier focus, or astra or what you have up there!

[NicolaiBavnbek]

God, A TT with bullhorn, one of my fantasies just became real.

[ThePagodaTroop]

Tis a nippy wee fecker though eh ... :)

[smithylvs]

it will all be standard equipment from the brigade,, but i think it just looks odd on a audi lol

[KooKas2oo8]

Lol, that lightbar doesn't fit the Audi and the horn doesn't suit it but it's cool :d

[ollieollieonion]

The horn tone is a power air horn made by Whelen. Im getting one on my Mondeo ST soon for responding... cant wait lol.

[Cooltop35]

To be fair I know the guy who owns the car and he pays for himself. Plus it meets Authority requirements.

[infrared567]

Those chief men are rolling it. But this is just such a waste of taxpaying money, whats wrong with a vauxhall astra to drop them to a scene. next thing youll know it will be a roller phantom with a chauffer!

[HedgehogChopper]

@infrared567

I think you will find its his own car, like you going to work in your own car a nipping across town in it to pick up tools etc. only this jammy sod gets blues & two's added

[infrared567]

lucky sod

[slaphead12345]

He is the tits! shame the other fireman had to go without a fire truck to pay for that bad boy!

[lightningpete]

@slaphead12345 you'll find an applicance costs three times an audi TT and the fact that the Audi TT was not bought with taxpayers money either, its his own, with his own lightbar + siren added

[P999FFB]

That car is quite simply.......the MUTTS NUTS!!!!!!!!

[smithylvs]

this is just another siren tone like the yelp and wail its fitted into the unitas the fourth tone so why shouldnt it be used,,ive used them before,, they are great

[barry865]

It's certainly not an air horn, unless you meant simluated air horn found on the electronic siren. Why shouldn't cars have them?

[Zildjian285]

1. It's not an airhorn and if you think that is loud then try hearing a real airhorn!

2. Why should they be red and not black? Remember this is an officers car, AFAIK they take it home so it should be their choice of colour.

[smithylvs]

lol loved it, is this a car that the seniour officers take home and can get called in for larger incidents, near me i have seen black bmw and golf gti etc with blues fitted for fire officers

[FireEngineMadJosh]

omg wow ! !

[lfbuw]

This is simply an ADO's car, Audi TT's arent even that expensive really so I don't see why its such an issue. But a nice video anyway

[porkie85]

contact me please tom.

[scotsfire]

canny be an  ADO unless london still use the old rank stucture

[lfbuw]

station manager then or whatever bollocks they call them now lol

[AntmanIsWaitin4U2Sub]

Comeon lfbuw, you're still doing your same old tricks... Time to move on..

[hantsmod]

some one obviously gets paid too much

[policeblue999]

corr, i bet some people disagree with the need for what is essentially a small supercar as a fire officers cars.

[bosco1013]

Fantastic!

[JORDANRICE07]

[PoliceMadBen]
