As an American fireman, I’ll say the equipment y’all used back then was quite a bit different than what we used then and still use now. Very cool to see!
This is why by law, cigarettes now have to have self-extinguishing points on them, but further than that, smoking isn't allowed in public buildings now.
@@eleanorhogan8643 It used to be at the discretion of the business, and it used to be a very common trend, although by the 2000's, places either had separate areas or banned indoor smoking completely due to secondhand smoke fears and public health concerns regarding secondhand smoke, but I know that since 2006, smoking or permitting smoking in public buildings was made illegal in Scotland, and 2007 for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. I know this because I remember the date very well for England, it was on the 1st July 2007.
now the interesting thing is, I saw little snippets from this episode in a children's video I used to love, "Awesome Fire Engines". I only found out in recent years it was from this show.
