There is a pole there. Why all the running down stairs?

[Bluezn2z]

@k0smon Not insured to slide down the pole!

Quality Video !!,

[Bluezn2z]

@LFBClerkenwell thanx

Thanks for posting, but 1min 45 seconds for turnout ?

Why do the doors not open automaticly when the bells go down ?

Anyway, keep up the good work lads.

[Bluezn2z]

@train672 person in lift....maybe thats why?

[pyro999maniac]

@Bluezn2z it beggars belief doesn't it...." we won't insure you to slide down the pole coz it's a health and safety hazzard but feel free to run into a burning building".......what is the world coming to!

using the pole = quicker turnout (saving lives)

using the stairs = trip and injured so can't turn out anyway.

Finally, FINALLY, I get to see a turn-out from WITHIN the station!

Sounded like London's Burning! O_O

Your all saying their running down the stairs but im almost 100% sure I saw the first firefighter go through the doors to the pole? he reached up to open the door release catch at the top? Thats how they are in west mids...and on Londons burning for that matter! lol (i know its a tv programme chill) :)

[TopTap09]

@Bluezn2z Is that a joke?

[britabf]

@Bluezn2z Fire Personnel are allowed to use the pole on any mobilisation.

[SONOR4]

I don't blame the crew for a slow turn out. What's crazy is having to go on the bell to calls like this.

It's apparently too big a Heath+Safety risk for firefighters to use the pole, but what about the H+S risks of the appliance taking priority over all other traffic, crossing red lights, travelling on the wrong side of the road etc etc for someone SHUT IN A LIFT. As a serving London paramedic it doesn't make sense to me.

@bonn417 Does the truth hurt?

[MagaHarry17]

how did you get in there to watch it leave?

[gibbymcgibson]
