We really owe these firemen a great deal of thanks and respect for all the work that they do - I am so amazed at the people who cause these men violence when out on a call all I can say to then is "You never know when you need them" Think before you stop them doing a great job

Must say. That was an awesome video, especially the demonstration of the 7 degree pitch at the end. Great machine!

Great insight into how an ALP is used by our brilliant F&RS personnel, thank you.

Incredible video of its use and explaining the safety aspects of everything to keep crew and appliance safe. I was lucky enough to go into one of these many years ago in a Dennis Bronto Skylift when it was called the Strathclyde Fire and Rescue service and it was an amazing bit of equipment.

What a fantastic piece of kit - providing I never have to go up it. Great job presenter.

Brilliant demo Lee. Thoroughly enjoyed watching that. Things have certainly changed since I was in the job in the 70's! Pumps and pump escapes were the mainstay in Essex with the odd HP, foam tender and rescue vehicles scattered about at key stations. Well done again on the demo and big thank you for all you lads and lasses do. 👌

A very informative and interesting video demo. It is comforting to know what level of rescue can be performed. Thanks to all involved.

Fantastic video. Really informative. Thanks.

Thank you for the video it was very interesting too see how the European aerial platform is different from the American aerial platform. That would be a great video if they could be compared side by side.

Awesome aerial. Rosenbauer certainly are the business!

The BEST fire service video on the internet. Really interesting and informative. Thank you very much for posting it.

excellent video. Really appreciate the effort and time that has gone into this

What a excellent piece of kit.

You are all hero’s thank you.

An interesting and very well presented video thank you

Fantastic video, please do more.

Absolutely amazing appliance modern technology at its finest seasons greetings everyone 🙏💙😊👍

Nice, we have the Vema at Torquay but its showing its age now.

Yeah good vid enjoyed that

Nice bit of kit

Long time since your Staffs days

Are there special procedures for very windy conditions?

Such a huge difference between this and American ariels

Thank you for producing this video, with a toddler in lock down seeing an ALP on screen is the best they are going to get! My question after seeing this is, why does the ALP require it's wheels off the ground? I understand suspension is soft and locking systems would add extra complexity so would not be installed, but surely having an extra six points of contact to the ground would add a fail safe performance: if for example an out rigger failed? I appreciate there must be logic, but I'd love to know what it is. Thank you again!

Just turned 51 years old , I hope i can train as a Fireman, me London , where i am bexleyheath , there real High rise Flats , and this , ALP , would be great to use .

Great video . Are your ALPs crewed as part of the watch or are they jump manned ?

ALP or pump truck Mine is ALP

Only seems like yesterday they ran an AEC merryweather TL.

Great informative video! I was wondering if evacuating at full height would people be trusted to climb down the ladder or is this a safety concern (I’d expect the latter)?

A really fascinating video, thanks for your time in uploading, is the unit spinning in the cage a wind indicator?

Brilliant......... giz a job 😁

When are Wiltshire getting one of these? Dorset seems to get all the new kit 😕

Well done for referring to Stn ground, many people call it Stn area, which is not the same thing. It's never a vehicle though, it's an appliance. Knock off & make up.

Do u have piped air on the alp so the firefighters are able to breath air rather than in cylinders ,I mean something they can plug their ba's into on the cage ?? 😎👍

This is when you see the term ‘partners’ doesn’t apply! Fire and Rescue totally separate.

some reach !

Bring that truck to london they need it more than ur small town
