FRV/CFA: EARLY ARRIVAL, multiple vehicles responding to a 7th factory fire in Derrimut on 10/07/24 

Shame they showed up in wildfire gear and were therefore useless.

@@throttlegalsmagazineaustra7361 Yeah most would have showed up in Structure Gear

​@@throttlegalsmagazineaustra7361 not sure what you saw but the majority of the crew on the CFA pumpers and pumper tankers had structural PPC (PBI Gold).

​@@megadethrocks1Not in the sector l was working.

@seqemergencyvehicles cheers, only missed 43, 59 and 44 which were their before I arrived

​@@Andy.grooverSorry Andy, l was driving PT59 and was first on-scene, we were doing a site inspection around the corner.

@throttlegalsmagazineaustra7361 haha your good mate, bet the crews on move up have deck chairs in the rear yard! Show your crew this vid if they like this sort of stuff!

​@@Andy.groover Good on you mate, l will

@markfryer9880 yes alot of rigs listed, feel free to skim through the rest of channel I have a few videos of big jobs on here

​@@Andy.groover The funny thing is that the day before during lunch at work we were discussing Coode Island and the huge fire that happened there back in the 90s. Our boss is a bit younger than most of us late 50s dudes and we had to explain what Coode Island meant and where it was. As for this fire my work mate and I drive past the warehouse most days on our way to and from work. It looks a right mess now! Maybe you should do a follow-up video filmed from the Deer Park Bypass to show the extent of the devastation before they start any site clear up. That will be an interesting operation all of it's own.

@markfryer9880 went past on the bike path the other day, to put it bluntly the joints a dump! I'm a bit young for Coode Island but have read all about it, would of been scary!

@@Andy.groover Andy could you possibly list the types of Appliances as I am not familiar with shorthand that FRV and CFA use. If I am having trouble then I am sure that others will be too. Perhaps this could be an idea for another video? By the way is that Ultra Large Pumper still in regular service? That's a pretty old unit now, judging by the cab styling.

@markfryer9880 so Fire Rescue Victoria or FRV use the following. Pumpers, Pumper Tankers, Ultra Large Pumpers, Rescues, Telebooms, Ladder Platforms, Transporters (they carry the pods like the hose layer seen in the footage) Hazmats, BA trucks/vans and even boats. The ULPs their was 2 at this job the one at the end is 29 years old CFA or Country Fire Authority (100% volunteers) is more rural however some brigades that responded to this are on the urban fringe, they basically the same types of vehicles as FRV except aerial appliances

@@EmergencyServicesVictoria likewise mate, have you grabbed anything while on holidays?

@@Andy.groover Yeah mate I got the hazmat job in newport a bit ago, FS1 which is on my channel and went to FS1 yesterday and got a commander, UP1, P1A P1B 3 times and a transporter and Ladder etc.

@@johnniebellamy5912 thanks!

@Scottish.spotter999 thanks fella, feel free to have a look around the channel!

@@Andy.groover thanks will do

@johnbratley6926 the CFA have a system like that, make pumpers or tankers 5 etc, FRV have just alaem responses 1st alarm being 2 pumps or pumper tankerz, 2nd alarm being 4 pumper/pumper tankers, plus 1 aerial, rescue, BA support and commander (chief basically) then it scales upwards from there

@EmergencyVehiclesVictoria get anything else besides PT7 yesterday?

It School Holiday lol

bloody nothing lol

@@EmergencyVehiclesVictoria 😪

@@NeilM01989 thank you so much!

@@Andy.groover You're welcome mate 👍🏻

@@Andy.groover yep one of them ended up very close to the freeway, very scary stuff

44 gallon drum of explosive liquid of some type

@ashtothefireguy5432 I was more surprised with 58s but i also realised its a spare

@EmergencyNSW very, be lucky to rebuild

@@viclightsiren welcome to the channel!

@@Andy.groover Thanks for the Warm Welcome

@@jackhim8213 Acting Operations Commander

@@soiunsanto because that's our thing hahaha

They fit the bill. What would you suggest mate?

@@throttlegalsmagazineaustra7361 I'm not suggesting nothing, but, i mean, they are europeans trucks, so far from AU, never thought AU authorities will choose them better than american ones

​@@soiunsantoThe closest we came were Freightliners and they are ineffective undesirable pieces of shit. I wouldn't piss on anything american. If it's not Scanias we'd go to Japanese trucks.

@@NotEthanNorbury before 2A response vehicles arrive on scene? It's what all the cool kids say hahaha

@@Andy.groover Yeah good enough for me, So wicked catches

@theofficialemergencyservic7881 P9 was going to the building site next door for reported workers stuck on scaffold, was a falsy just workers being sticky nosers

@@Andy.groover lol, what station is p9 ?

@@theofficialemergencyservic7881 Somerton

@@Andy.groover cheers, good siren, different from the rest
