Thanks Steve was a very large and prolonged incident!

Hard to fight a large industrial fire. No matter where it is in the world.

I live in the us i have seen mill fires in large brick buildings and the outer structure makes it more of an oven effect increasing the heat inside and any oils that have soaked in to the wood just make more fuel for the fire to get even hotter.

UK Trains which one you prefer I liked the old one better like with everything

The whole Ladder itself is a nice piece of equipment.

they are called Arial ladder platform or ALP for short

Thank you for those kind words ☺️

What’s that?

It was one of the aerial firefighting appliances use to fight the fire. And yes I noticed the Simon Snorkel as well, and after some research Simon is not around anymore. The Simon-Telelect company here in the states was bounced around between a few different parent companies in the 1980's and 1990's until a company called Terex bought up what was left of the company in 1997, from there they left the firefighting market all together.

It sure is it's got a bullhorn as well!

I've spent some time in Canada and in the US and, one very noticeable thing you didn't mention is that... None of our British Fire Fighters are Fat. Sounds harsh but it's true.

@@philyew3617 ok

@@philyew3617 i've never seen a fat US firefighter who wasn't retired, tbf.

As a firefighter from the states, I love there trucks as well. I feel ours are getting too big, especially driving them in older cities in the Northeast.

well spotted

@Arsenal Emirates Just looked on there and no sing of any big red flaming bricks or big red wheeled monsters with blue lights!

If you go and look at Portugal St now there's a bunch of fire trucks everywhere. Might even be able to see our cameraman!

I thought Google canceled Street View due to the gigantic costs that all those "I dont want to see my house on street view"-people where causing with the removal/editing of their house or whatever they wanted to edited.

I just went on, police, fire, ambo, hart and the flames!!!!

Thanks :)

In the UK, Aerial Appliances are specialist vehicles, Each Fire Service will only have a handful of them dependent on the risk in their particular area, For instance Greater Manchester in this video have Approximately 90 Pumps, but only 8 Aerial Appliances. some Fire Services will Primary Crew the Aerial, but others will cross jump from a Pump. There are different type of Aerial Appliances in the UK, we have TL's (Turntable Ladders) which you see in the video with an articulating platform, usually Metz or Magirus, there are ALP's (Aerial Ladder Platforms) usually Bronto, Magirus or Vema, The heights can range from 32 meters to 64 meters. We also have a range of other specialist vehicles that will be able to support large incidents, such as Technical Rescue Vehicles, Hose Layers, Environmental Protection, Command Units, Breathing Apparatus Support, Water Rescue, Line Rescue, Foam Tenders, Water Tankers.

@@CDB8939 you forgot the HP, hydraulic platform, as based on the Volvo FL6 in the video

Our boys know what to do we don’t stand around with pulling Polls

Aye, I've seen it in person at the emergency services day

Which one? The older model or the newer model?

Its not often you see a UK hose laying unit, were they drawing water from the canal? I would guess that they were given the size of hose its laying

@@nphil93992 most likely or a local lake.

Yes they had 3 pumps drawing water from the nearby canal

Thanks, I do have a video from the last Fire at SAICA paper I’ll have to upload that soon!

@@FirePhotos did u ever upload that?

Hose Ramps.

Rubbish! If you did. You'd know it's Dukinfield!

Thank you very much!

Yeah, i wonder if we can see the fire on street view :D

Me

@Arsenal Emirates Google WILL Edit it out, was my car

Thanks, It sure was a large fire

The driver got it stuck on a hose ramp

@@FirePhotos oops...

FDGearhead with large fires like this and if there are not any other structures threatened is to let it burn and be there when the majority of the fire has known our and then put out the rest of the fire because otherwise they would be there for like a week tackling the blaze

Mini Driver/south Sweden Just to clarify, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue is one single Brigade. It covers the entire Gtr Manchester Area and, assists other more distant brigades e.g. Cheshire or Lancashire or even further when requested. Just as the Polish Fire Fighters assisted Sweden in fighting the huge forest fires. Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service is one of the largest Fire and Rescue Services outside London with more than 2,100 members of staff and 41 fire stations. Divided into 10 Divisions Stations 41 Engines 50 Platforms 5 Rescues 4 HAZMAT 2 USAR 1 Wildland 3 Rescue boats 2 We cover an area of approximately 500 square miles and a culturally diverse population of 2.8 million people. But it is just One Brigade. They have a website which is very good if you are interested... www.manchesterfire.gov.uk/

Phil Yew thanks for the information and I know the polish fire brigade was in Sweden and helped us. Once again smashing job they did there.

Yeh I was on scene for about 21 hours was a bit chaotic!

OMG. You where there for that long.

How are you allowed on scene, past the tape? Do you work with the fire service? Great video nonetheless

Rixas we where both there. You could either get in if you are a resident or there was a little path (near Asda if you know) which wasn’t closed off. That’s how most people got onto the scene 👍🏻

There was no scene control then? I mean, normally the second people get into the cordoned area they are kicked out?

The TL has a better reach.

Sure was some good driving on the TL!

It looks around 150mm (6 inch)

Thanks Andy

Thanks :)

@@FirePhotos I've subscribed. Would like to see more videos like this but also some of in Lancashire

There appeared to be a need to re position the aerials and backing them into location can sometimes give a more effective reach. The backwards and forwards re positioning that we see is likely due to precious little room to move these appliances around the immediate fire ground.

Aerials work better over the front or rear as the weight of the vehicle counters the weight of the ladders / booms and water making them more stable. Facing outwards is better if possible, as you can shift it quicker if necessary.

They are more weight on the rear. The older one was from my now retired brothers station at Whitehill

It was to dangerous the building was collapsing

A Pyromaniac is a person with a mental disorder, specifically an impulse control disorder referred to as Pyromania, which causes them to have an uncontrollable impulse to start fires. An Arsonist is a person who commits the crime of arson.

And what... with who!?!? Haha, I remember a few months ago when a neighbours apartment blew up in flames and the whole block had get out, it was a traffic nightmare

Each person has been ordered to do a specific task. Even if it's just to wait on standby, they must do it.

Probably because they did not have enough water until the Hoselayer arrived, and even then the pressure didn't look great.

Fire Photos TV thanks that helps

Probably, yes. The only access roads appeared to be too close to the burning buildings, where the risk of an entire wall collapse was considerable. All they could do was use the master streams and ALPs (Aerial Ladder Platforms) from a safe distance.

@@gordonlyons5813 Ah, it makes sense, bit of a shame the other building caught but no point in endangering people for bricks and mortar.

Andrew Hutchinson Its 42m long because the fire is one whole day in real life.

And everyone knows the correlation between 42 minutes and 24 hours...

Kids arson about with matches probably...

The first building to catch fire was occupied by Ashton Powder Coatings Ltd and they were at work when the fire started. They opened an oven door and - whoosh

Huckleberry Mudsplasher and mac 73 thanks for the response it is greatly accomplished
