Sauchiehall street Steak and Cherry on fire

can't believe that the firefighters are still standing there watching the fire grow bigger until they start hosing it. Why are they just standing there instead of making the fire away? I'm so disappointed that they didn't quickly go up to help the people that were up there suffocating!

Fire Commanders must also be stationed outside the building to control further resources that arrive, keep the public at a safe distance and liase with other emergency services.

Relief teams must wait outside ready to go in incase things get bad and so that all resources are exhausted all at once.

That's just the basics. I hope that answers your question. Please be more open minded and supportive with your comments in future. We do our best with what little we have.

Stay safe

You can't see them fighting the fire because they are INSIDE the building. A family of 5 were rescued by ladder. The rest were lead to safety through the fire exits.

Unfortunately because people cut hoses, steal equipment and turn off the water pumps. Some firefighters must be stationed outside to guard the fire engine. Also, a firefighter must man the water pump at all times. An entry control officer has to be outside to record everyone who enters and leaves the building.
