27:30 we call it relaying, the main fire truck stays put and every one else runs hoses to them in a relay, the first water truck in the relay will run there water to the second one and so on, and when they run out of water, it will be before any of the others do, they are then able to go and get more water and refill there water tank back up as there will be a “buffer “ of water in the other tankers in the relay hopefully allowing enough time to get back and hook backup, they may find when they get back others in the relay have gone to refill, and they might end up closer to the main fire truck in the relay, I hope that makes sense.
Okay that’s really interesting. I thought it was water pressure but they were a load of lines running to hydrants on the street. Thank you for letting me know about that. It is interesting. I love anything engineering based.
Blackpool have their priorities in the wrong places. They bought the houndshill shopping centre for £47.5m before aby renovation costs, yet leave land that they could build upon to ad stock to the ❤much beeded housing needs. Lets hope it wasnt an arsonist that caused the reignited fire.
wow, That doesn't look like one fire to me, it looks like its been set at different places, to have spread so far, it was an ember that restarted it, is perfectly normal, which is why the FB hang around after tey think they have put it out. I doubt anyone would have been able to get in to restart it, with FB and possibly police onsite. Be interesting to see what the investigation finds. It's only been empty since last year. They building houses in the field next to me, its disgusting, soon there will be no green spaces left.
