Clearly, a landmark event in your firefighting career. The incident that you describe may have been very difficult to deal with at the time, but once over, must give you a lasting sense of satisfaction when you reflect upon your past achievements. From your description of the location, I wondered how many of the residents, when viewing their house for the first time, would have looked at the lie of the land and considered, ‘What would happen if there was a fire?’

are you still a firefighter

It’s an bmw and we all know what they’re capable of or in this case lack there off. It sounded like the guy driving the x5 ripped the rear bumper mounts on the rear left side , the left side skirt the whole lot right off the car or at least damaged it quite a bit.

Some years back the county ambulances were merged into 11 NHS Trusts from 1996 onwards. As fire services have historixally had a big chunk of funding from local taxes ("Council tax") and there is legislation on fire service response times, stations per population, risks etc no mergers. Discussions have taken place on mergers in past but rhey went nowhere. Hope thia helps.

Kent merged with Surrey Ambulance Service and the Sussex Ambulance Service, to become South East Coast Ambulance (SECAM).

If you exclude blocks of flats, pretty much every house in the UK has a garden ('yard'), front and back, and lots have garages attached or at the end of a drive.

As others have said since about 2006 the number of UK NHS Ambulance Services have been vastly reduced . Northern Ireland has one service as do their police and fire . Scotland has had one ambulance service covering the whole country for years and in more recent years the 8 fire and police services have been merged to form Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire Service . Wales has one ambulance service and in England the ambulance services are Isle of Wight and London ( which are the only two that have been left covering one county each ) .Mergers started years ago such as between Norfolk , Suffolk and Cambs to form East Anglia , East and West Sussex were merged , Cheshire and Merseyside merged and Avon , Gloucs and Wilts merged . The final and current services ( apart from Isle of Wight and London ) are South East Coast which covers Kent , East and west Sussex , Surrey and part of North East Hants. East of England which covers Essex , Herts , Beds , Norfolk , Suffolk and Cambs .South West which covers , Cornwall , Isles of Scilly , Devon , Dorset , Gloucs , Wilts , Somerset and Bristol and a very small part of Oxfordshire . South Central which covers most of Hants , most of Oxfordshire and all of Berks and Bucks , North West which covers Greater Manchester , Merseyside , Lancs , Cumbria , Cheshire and a small parts of Derbyshire including Glossop , North East which covers Northumberland , Tyne and Wear , County Durham and the area formerly know as Cleveland . Yorkshire which covers North , West , South and East Yorks / North Humberside . West Midlands which covers West Mids county , Warks , Worcs , Herefordshire , Shropshire and Staffs and East Midlands which covers Notts , Leics , Northants , Rutland , Lincs ( including South Humberside ) and most of Derbyshire .

He hit the flap for the rescue vehicle to come down

@@bluelightblits7833 you mean the ramp yeah? I thought he got exactly what he deserved, people like that, that force their way through because he has an expensive car.....you know what they say don't you? BIG car small D**K or B.C.S.D for short, keep the videos coming bro, great content on EVERY video 'av ever watched bro.

You might be right. However, since there is no actual "firefighting" seen in this vid, how are we dumb yanks to know?

Glad I’m not the only one who thinks this. Ever seen the one where a motorcyclist gets frustrated and starts doing it himself? 😂

@@empirecook I haven't, but I did watch one with a car on fire in an open air carpark. The first engine to arrive was a ladder engine!! WTF? By the time a pump appliance arrived with water on board and they'd put on their gear and scratched their head looking for a fire hydrant, there were about 5 cars on fire. Also saw one with a house on fire and there was a fireman on the roof smashing a hole in the roof. What does fire need to burn? Oxygen ! Needless to say the house just about burnt down. Staggering incompetence for a so called professional service.

For one, that's not all US fire services, in my town they send the pump appliance, or pumper as we call it, and 5-10 minutes later they start fire attack, spraying water on the flames, this is the same for a lot of fire services around the US, not just the ones you see on video (there's over 20,000 registered municipal, county and state fire services in the US) For two, ladder engines, or quints as we call them, carry anywhere from 300 to 700 gallons (1135-2650 liters) of water, they do start fire attack, but often look for a hydrant first to get water on the fire, either that or an engine pulls up to the scene and goes to secure a water supply for the quint. Third, "poking holes" ventilates the structure from smoke, sometimes you need it when the smoke is so dense you cannot see a thing while searching for dying victims stuck inside the home. Fourth, the American fire service is not incompetent, far from it, refer to my three reasons above, any questions, just ask them.

Adding onto this, Quints are first response trucks in some some volunteer and paid services, they do this because quints are nearly all purpose Quints carry: 1. Hoses 2. Firefighting pumps 3. Ground ladders 4. An aerial ladder 5. A water tank

It's in the description.

All the gear and no idea yes when you want police do ten fire engine turn up ? I yhink nit

Probably dealing with an incident that you don’t have any info on. Video bystander. Passing the time.

@@gitto397 I also "yhink nit"

The Merlo Tractor is used to turn over the ground in order to access a deep seated fire. Don't comment on things you know nothing about.

It's KFRS one

It's not LFBs, it belongs to Kent. Lots of services have them, useful assets.

It’s a good call, easy arrest, why wouldn’t police turn up? Police don’t turn up when the burglar has already left as there is little benefit for anyone

plenty if the burglary is in progress .

Much better than the Fire Departments in the US. They turn up at a fire and take 10 minutes to start tackling it.

not in Scotland we had a large fire in Edinburgh last week and the whole road was closed off you couldn't get near it also the police had road blocks set up at junctions to divert traffic away from the scene.

There was a large fire in London this morning with a number of roads closed and traffic diverted.

We only seen a small part of that, the Firemen who turn would know exactly who is in charge, and who ever was filming wouldn’t be allowed any were near the fire ground

So how do you know no one knows who is in charge just because there are multiple vehicles? Does your keyboard have a program that figures it all out?
