In Australia we do do that for bushfires and it’s way more effective than water

British-mechanic I'm a Hgv mechanic and occasionally get work on British fire engines. I drive a fast car reasonably well, but I take my hat off to the men and women who drive these fantastic machines. I get to drive them around the industrial park where I work, I don't obviously drive as quick as your dad, and never will. I don't know how he does, you can really feel the weight of them as you go into corners at speed. I wish him and his colleagues good health and happiness in there jobs and life

wots ma name. Thanks mate I’ll tell him. I’ve got an old video somewhere of me as a kid driving the fire engine round the yard of the old Victorian fire station in our area (before they built a modern new one 😭) sat on my dads lap. Bet you wouldn’t get away with that now! All I can ever remember is the smell of rubber and smoke, I think it was the b.a and other things around

I love the technology there have mate how does the emergency one display. Work I study sciences I've also study firefighting and fire investigation. Also where do you get the angal torches from

it is not fireman it is firefighter.

it is not fireman, it is firefighter.

Why did you stop being a full time?

Except a bus or coach is not full of water!

Glow in the dark Bus Driver Fair point, but they are not emergency vehicles

My dad's a firefighter and driver and he says the machines are surprisingly okay to drive as all the weight is in the bottom of the truck so it's quite planted on the road

It does it's extremely stressful and takes tons of skill to do. I myself am a volunteer firefighter and an apparatus Opperator

@@montyzumazoom1337 🤣🤣 they aren't usually filled with water there is a hose attached to the tank and they plug that into the hydrant and then another to a pump which is how the water comes out. There would never be enough water to put out a whole fire

I think you typed that wrong

Think you got that backwards. I'll stand on the highway all day long to save your life.

That's because they don't 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡

Other way round bro lmao your making it seem like they just leave people who need their help

What a crock of shit where are you getting your information from?

@@Jonesykins So what does that imply? An old fire station in Leeds was closed

D Jonesable there for some reason closing down are emergency services

Nick Field some of the youths of today are part of the thin red line family cheers very much

I'd correct your sentence If I were you. I'm a 'youth' of today being 18 and I have nothing but respect for the emergency services. Proud to support the thin red line.

Nick Field By the youths? By the tools that run this country you mean?

Typical loser complaining about the "youths" despite barely ever speaking to them. We respect our emergency services, the government does not.

Nick, have you ever stepped back for a second and thought that maybe you under respect "the youths of today"?

We like them tight...

It's cheaper to shout.

We don't because simply it is very quiet inside the cab and there is no need for that sort of system. I assume the USA use them because of the noise of the monster V8's and some crew cabs look to be separated from the front.

Having served in both countries, the headsets are required in the US due to the engine noise and also the physical size of the vehicle. In the UK the cabs are a lot quieter and smaller

​@@davej1425 i noticed in other videos (of U.S fire Dept) that the FDNY especially, has that big "Beeeeeer" horn which is really loud

So what

Paul Mcdonnell what does it matter to you?

Myrm Ants in the US, the driver is called an Engineer or Driver/Operator. Their job is to drive the engine, maintain it, and pump water from it on fires. The team leader, usually called a Lieutenant or more commonly Captain, rides in the passenger seat with the computer terminal

Richard Jones ... they'd have to pack the kit away as quickly as possible, and then respond to the call. It happens all the time. But if the make-up would result in a significantly delayed response they'd have to inform control, who may or may not, turn out another machine from another station.

Emergency One is the body builder (a fire appliance is built on a commercial chassis (Volvo, Scania, etc) E1 I think I remember are a Scottish based company. The in cab electronics (the E1 screen) provide the driver (and admin) with all necessary info on the how the machine is working and performing. I used to buy fire appliances.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF!! you either have lived there in the past and hated it for some reason, I used to do lots of volunteering in EEP,try be nice for once on your life!!!

SoonSleepy its a sign to become a FF

Chase Klein I have asthma.

SoonSleepy Run until its gone. You can’t let one thing stop you from doing something you wanna do

Yes , that was a nice , safe , smooth drive and he got there pretty quickly as well .

It's gipton fire station in Leeds...it was closed down due to budget cuts...they've built a new one about three miles away and merged some stations also the police are in the same station .....Tories , don't you just love em...😂😂

No, they do slow down inconsiderate drivers, they do stop people being hit and in the more quiet back roads they are installed they do keep children in the streets safer and they do the job they set out to do, you say it as if all they do is dely response times for emergency services. My daughter was hit by a car as she ran out between parked cars after the ice cream truck and if it wasnt for those speed bumps slowing the driver down to a crawl, she would be dead. Its a shame they slow emergency services down but i still think without them it would be worse.

Speed humps are the bain of emergency service driver's lives . They are well intentioned but slow the wrong people down !

We know it says so in the title.

Prob to let driver know blues are on and which door a shutter is open

Information display for seatbelts, doors, lockers etc

Paul Storer it’s an appliance control screen, so gives information about lockers and doors seatbelts etc and is where you control the emergency lights from. When pumping there is another screen at the back which controls the pump, and that information is duplicated onto the screen in the cab.

Emergency One is the Scottish based company that makes the ' fire engine ' part that goes onto the lorry chasis which might be made by Scania , Volvo or MAN . The older fire appliances were often made by Dennis , but these are not so common now .

JDC (John Dennis Coachworks) are no longer in business. The Dennis were excellent machines but were made up of thousands of parts from all over the place, It is now more cost efficient to buy a Chassis Cab from a truck manufacturer and get the specialist body builder to fit the fire engine bits

@@scooby1992 you always could hear the Dennis coming with the intercooler sound and retarder valve

Do you know why it closed?

Budget cuts

Where was the new station built

@@cm93431 killingbeck leeds 14

The Firestation itself is now used as a community hub,it has a gardener's club,cooking courses and a great collection of model fire engines,also they left the pole in and the cushion,not had a go yet but really want to.

Lost cat on the roof.

I've just posted the same question, belive it's volvooo

Its a red one. 🇬🇧👍

*2015

Gadget I'm sure Sat navs came out before 2018 lol

The Fire Service don't use sat navs for some reason. In Ambulances the MDT gives us the info on the job and then maps us to the incident. The Fire Service still use teleprinters which print out the job and grid ref and they then use an A-Z to navigate.

Neal O'Gorman Maybe the Fire service should learn from your(ambulance service) good practice.

Really, is that what all the services do is it? Some people comment on stuff they will never understand. And before you ask, I've got 30 years in.

All emergency vehicles have military grade Satnavs these days. People keep nicking them out of Ambulances, but they can be turned off, blown up firmware bricked, of set to be tracked by the police, so you get traced and nicked. They don't use Tomtoms.

There is no such thing as a "military grade satnav"

Sat nav can be useless, better to have properly trained crews who study & know the area. Not just where to go, but alternative routes for different times of day & night, even seasons, along with the nature of the risk at the address they are mobilised to by prior inspection.

Leeds folk love appreciating the fire brigade every November 5

May I use. ..3/10 see me.

Why?

see the argument above.... 😊 apparently, the fire brigade in the UK are so out dated they use A-Z's (cough cough)

It's a real problem here in the UK when people double park on narrow streets.

@@brushhead Good thing is, those fire engines are built like tanks, so if there are lives on the line they can legally shove cars out of the way.

The road on the yard side of our house is especially narrow, and yet I have seen a fire engine go along it (i live in a block of terrace houses, and the roads on the yard side of the houses are very narrow, and the roads on the garden side of the houses are reasonably wide, there are multiple blocks of terrace houses, with the garden sides back to back and the yard sides back to back)

@@warailawildrunner5300 ooooh, no. if they did that, they would have to stop, close the road off, fill out a report in triplicate, and have a debrief as to why they bumped the car out the way. When that's all done, they can carry on to the fire.

@@ayl3166 Sure they have to fill out forms in triplicate.... afterwards. But they are legally allowed to in the case of lives in danger. I've asked a few of them about this

My old station at Clifford St, York, is now a restaurant and flats. Happy days when York had two pumps, turntable ladder, and a rescue boat. The new station has one pump thanks to the local councillors!

Actually a community centre

It's a really good community centre,maybe you're thinking of the police station??

@@BigBadjohn0x0 police station is offices

theres no need for siren when there are no cars. it also creates unnecessary noise for the surrounding neighbors

I also switch the siren off when not necessary, when the roads are empty or when I'm slower than the flow of traffic

I saw on another channel, its to stop the neighbours getting "involved" (in the way)

Not a proppa fire siren enyway
