The 🧣

Which engine ?? As the rapier is used in a Museum I believe

In 50 years time all jobs would be replaced with robots the humanity can rest but thay would be sad

Exciting incidents!? Bloody good thing there are less!

by society has changed you mean people are being safer

True! The fire business is boring, I did it for 16 months and it felt like a monotony so I went back into the army. Basically just spend most of your life sitting in a low-grade social club with some people you like and some you don't, the craic becomes the same to the point you know what the person is going to say before they say it because you spend more time with them than your family. This monotony is punctured by bin fires or if you're lucky a car fire!

Charlzey1998 thanks

did they both keep they two machines

Theyre both 1 pump stations now

Do they still run 4000+ calls?

No they're not as busy now so they've been 1 pump for well over a decade now

The Dennis is still taxed and on the road lol

Glad you enjoyed it. it is brilliant to watch.

No problem at all. Great watch

old farts

Should see America where parking in front of a hydrant can lead to your windows being smashed by the fire brigade

Don't worry, they'll be long dead now.

Contrary to popular belief, you are incorrect. As any qualified EFAD knows, it's the other way around, like it or not.

There was one on really TV channel called into the fire it finished a few years ago

Not every station has an aerial appliance. Plus most of our buildings are only 2-3 floors high. If the initial call indicates one might be needed one will be sent, otherwise the incident officer will request one when on scene. Also, we don't have 'engineers', 'truckies' or 'squads'. Everyone is trained the same and can do multiple jobs.

Actually, it is the centralised control room who mobilise appliances as they receive emergency calls, not the station. Each & every premises has what is termed a "pre-determined attendance" (PDA) as does every other other scenario, such as vehicle collisions, etc. That restaurant would already be known & logged as to the risks it poses, how many floors, occupancy, etc. The OIC or even central control can ammend it as required, including requesting aeriel appliances. If an aeriel was stated on the PDA, it would go at the first call, along with pumping appiances. The single emergency number (999 in UK ) was invented by the general post office in the 1930's , allowing central control to operate as we now know it.

Sorry. I don't have much info on it. I do have videos uploaded of a police series around the same time called X Cars. Follows Greater Manchester Police. brilliant series.

Brixton.

there was one on the First woman fire fighter in South Yorkshire

That was 999 presented Michael Burke, and it was an episode that followed West Midlands Fire service training centre.

Londons burning started late 80s and i think this series started mid to late 90s. Loved Londons burning 👌🏻

More likely the other way round with people wanting to see a real London's Burning show with real firefighters and real drama.

London burning was based on the series like this filmed in 1983 at Brixton fire station in London 3 years later London burning started

individual fire services will do their best to bring in newer more modern fire appliances.

Yeah and the old bastard still wants to sue them like maybe he should think who looks worse him crashing into the big fire engine on his way back from bingo or something or them rushing to possibly save lives

There aren't 400 days in a year.

@@shaunbrown6365 4000 calls ÷ 365 days of the year = 10.9 ..... closer to 11 calls a day

I worked on a 4,500 call station in the early 90's , but another one of our's had over 7,000 calls a year, over an area of approx 6 square miles. That's more than the entire adjacent county brigade.

Dey do dat der doh, don't dey?

He sings only Beatles songs now.

Well done Sam. It’s great being a firefighter ❤
