Paramedic here, I know all the emergency services shit on eachother and talk shit, but we all know there's a level of respect for eachother. I regularly work with the fire & rescue service, you guys do an amazing job and you're nothing less than professionals. I once asked a firefighter to give us some room in a cluttered house during a medical emergency following an assisted break-in. I turned around 2min later and the room was completely empty of furniture, sofa, TV, Welsh dresser and everything. I couldn't stop laughing. Keep up the good work lads and stay safe!

My dad’s been a fire fighter for 25 years, very proud of him. I would’ve been one myself if I wasn’t so scared of heights.

It's amazing how things have changed since I was involved with the fire service in the late 80's / early 90's. I think the UK is even more advanced than the US. I'm amazed by the battery operated spreaders and cutters. That used to be a 3 man job. I like the computerized pump panel as well. No more mortal combat with a priming lever. 😃

hero's all of them . well done great vid

Fascinating, I was a firefighter for ten years and its great to see how the appliance and its kit has evolved over the fifteen years I've been out of the job. Recognised most of the equipment though, cant believe the BA sets are not in the cab, but can see the point. We had a little cheat in our station that when a persons reported was called, we we had two guys under air as we pulled up, whether it was needed or not. The BA board was in the cab as well then and we used to use the rapid deployment slots to mark the under air start time.. Not an original idea but saved a lot of time. Great video Brother, liked and subscribed 👍

Really fascinating. Thank you to all our hardworking firefighters. Brilliant content as always Ben. Keep it coming!

Fascinating as always, Ben. We live literally across the street from the back of the fire station here, the main entrance is in the next street though. I remember when our neighbour's cat went missing, she was only a kitten at the time, we were running around everywhere looking for her, and we called in at the fire station. It turned out that they'd been chasing her round the place for 20 minutes, then we think she gave up 😹 Oh yes, do they get badges for cutting off car roofs..? 🤣

thanks Ben for this video, was a great insight to what tech/gear is in one of those life saving machines, as a yorkshire lad its re-assuring to know they have the gear to help us out in times of need.

I am in ROI and I assume its no different really anywhere, but the guys in the stations are really accommodating if you ever want a look around, just remember how you got in as they might bolt of on the fly! I went a few times for interviews to get an idea, and never a problem, never passed the interview however, 3rd time lucky, but too old now. Respect to the people doing this, fulltime or retained.

Voly here, you are damm right. It is the best job in the world. Be safe 🇨🇺 🚨 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Nice to see a bit of variety now and then. Was kinda cute watching you both banter, Paul seems like a great boss and mate!

This is a wonderful extension to your recent vehicle review content. Props to Watch Commander Merifield, who was very engaging on camera, not too mention very quick and on point with the bants. Really looking forward to the next episode. Will be very interesting to learn more about that equipment, and the men and women of the service. (Plus maybe the answer to the most important question: Do they have a station house dog at North Yorkshire F&R?) I have a sneaking suspicion that this series will extend out to more services. So I'm looking forward to seeing content on ambulances. Hopefully also the fifth (because we all know the AA is the fourth) emergency service... (And I'm not picking which is fifth, I don't want a flame war). If you do extend this series to organisations such as Bomb Disposal, Coastguard, Cave/Lowland/Mountain/Mine/Moorland/Quicksand (shoutout to Bay Search and Rescue) Rescue services, it would be really good not just to cover their equipment, what they do, and how they do it, but also when and how to ask for them. For example initially asking for the police to then ask for mountain rescue, rather than asking for mountain rescue directly when calling 999. (Actually, roadside rescue would also make for some interesting content, I'm sure). That's more than enough of my rambling on. So thanks to you Ben, and everybody on the team that makes these videos possible. You all do fantastic work.

Hello Ben Pearson my son Jonnie really like your youtube channel and really like the police and all the emergency services . Thanks

Our local fire station has just acquired 2 71-reg Scania fire appliances in the last 18 months. While in some of the more outlying areas of our region they recently received 5 72-reg IVECO fire appliances which I think says a lot for just how much the Italian based truck manufacturers have come on in recent years.

That’s a lot of kit they carry on the fire engine (appliance) with them. Although when you think the multitude of situations the fire service deals with. 👍

Hello Ben can you do three videos I am requesting whats inside a ambulance and largest police station in the Lewisham police station tour and meeting the metropolitan police commissioner ? please and thanks

I'm enjoying these vehicle review videos, and the music on this one was better than on some of the previous ones, keep up the good work and keep improving.

he was hapy because he had his nap ! 😂

Fantastic video, cheers Ben xx

Grate video Ben also grate tour of the fire apliance

Nice video Ben nice to see what other counties carry on their water tender, because in Essex, it’s a bit different

Nice presentation

The Police/Fire banter, love it 🤣

Loving these videos. This one was extremely interesting

Ben I love your sense of humour, but I love even more how you bring these videos to the general public. Great learning opportunities for everyone! Keep up the great work! Still going to nag the hell out of you about your clothing line! I want a shirt and a sweatshirt but I'm in Canada and you don't deliver to Canada! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🫣🥺🥹😭 You're breaking my heart! 💔 🥴😂🤣

Ben, that was awesome thanks for making this video, it’s was well informative and I reyt enjoyed it, cheers mate. X

Fascinating video Ben, I love the relaxed, informative style ….keep them coming 👍🏼

Liked and shared your video 👍🏻🚒

Would love to see you doing a video on actual drink driving in a regulated and safe area to see how you experience it first hand!

That was interesting thanks, Ben. I see they still have the "light" portable pump which weighs a ton!! I'm a bit worried that firefighters are more likely to get cancer. It's good to see they have embraced a lot of technology now.

I worked for a company that used to build them I used to do the electrical wok on them then I moved to building ambulances designed the electrical distribution boards for internal lighting recording radios charge management systems. It is fantastic the kit they care and the men and women fire people are beyond reproach but for me the technology is upmost important

Ben is just like a big kid.

“It’s ney naw time” got me rolling 😂

I applied for the fire service once and went for an interview but nothing came of it. Now am more interested in working for the ambulance service and recently got my C1 license which I would need for driving the ambulances so hopefully in the near future will be doing that fingers crossed

Great vid

I was in the fire service from 1967 to 1992. I saw many changes. We actually called them ‘trucks’. Also, jokingly, we sometimes called our protective clothing ‘Fire Engine Suits’. I know, you have to be a little mad to be a firefighter.

A Volvo 7.7 litre diesel engine fire truck. Volvo make the most powerful truck engines an excellent vehicle acquisition for climbing those North Yorkshire Dales.👏👍🤞🤝😊

i never knew tadcaster had its own fire station passed through there to and from york on coastliner bus ironically never knew a fire station exsisted

Great video!

I love Milwaukee as they do some of the best tools currently going and all these power tools use M18's. Are you going to do an ambulance next?

Ben! I’ve just started watching your videos and I found a weird little coincidence. I’m just about to become a constable myself and your videos have been mega helpful. Also, to celebrate my achievement I’ve started thinking about starting a little (very modest and inexpensive) watch collection. I’ve noticed you wearing a few different nice watches in your videos now, so I’ve got a double-part question that I’m really hoping you’ll consider putting in your next QnA. 1) Were you married/with your partner at the time you joined the police and if so, what effect did the job have on your relationship? 2) tell us a little bit about your watch collection! Cheers for everything mate, big love

Change from a nee naa to a woo woo gets me every time 😂

You all want to be Trumpton really 😂😂 great vid Ben, we always had a great respect and working relationship with BiB in central London ,always handy for you all to know the kit we've got on the back .

Next adventure.. retained FF pearson? 😂😂

Loved this one! Just hoped for the siren at the end that did not happen (did not REALLY expect it to).

It'd be quite interesting if you went on a ride along with the likes of West Yorkshire Police or another Police force, it'd definitely make some content!

Great video, would love to see you review the Rosenbauer AT Stinger, not sure if North Yorkshire Fire And Rescue have one, but Lancashire had a couple at Blackburn & Skelmersdale.

change it from a ne nah to a woo woo. that part made me chuckle

Still my favorite British Copper

scania are the best on the market. best looking as well but they are big boys places with small roads or small villages like north and west Yorkshire and the south west have the smaller cab appliances where the citys and bigger open parts of the country have scania. scania, volvo, man, mercedes, daf are the main makes of fire engines used in the uk

Fire & Rescue got hose. In different area codes.

Next time, see if you can get a walk through of the fire chief’s response car, the unmarked

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

You can tell when somethings tickled Ben, sounds like a donkey. Paul was very professional! Bet there are some outtakes though?

My friends dad is a fighter of 2+ years

Looks like a pump Greater Manchester uses

"ANYONE FANCY A ICE COLD BEER 🍻"

Ben, they are a great bunch at Taddy Fire Station during the Tour De Aky 2019, we called in to Taddy Nick. needing to rest & use the loo BUT we found it all locked up. no one around Taddy F&Rs allowed us access to use their facilities. After riding from Scarborough to York then on to Tad it was a in rain hail & strong winds. it was most welcome to get in the warmth & dry. BUT it was dinner time. the watch that was there were only cooking Fillet Steak. 😮😮😮 I'll never forget the delicious aroma as I walked through the station 😂😂

He's so childish is hilarious haha

It's really amazing to see this 😂 what would be the cost of one ?

Can you do ambulances. See inside an ambulance 🚑

still under the royal navy?

Truckers also have various hose in their lorries 😂

So basically fire fighter crews have more equipment nowadays to attend to car accidents than fires

oh dear,

Do people realise the commitment that the retained give Probably not Needs to change

I'm going to be a Firefighter and be in the Fire Engine wearing the fire kit, mask and helmet and carry the tank on my back

999 likes .

how much does the BA set weigh did he say 30 or 13

Ben your even hotter in a fire helmet

Technology is fantastic, until it fails... What happens if the computerised water system fails ?

A black rat in a fire appliance never in my days did i think i would hear of such a thing

I remember the days when fire fighters were called firemen. They still are 99% men of course, because it’s dangerous and physical and so basically a man’s job, but we mustn’t say fireman in case someone gets hurty feelings.
