Manchester / Salford car (Fiat 500) on fire - 23/09/2023 

Should send a copy of this to the Fire department in the USA they are atrocious in getting water on any fire let alone a car.

@@PeterNorman-xd8trthere’s FRSs in the UK that could do with this as well. This is one of the more efficient responses I’ve seen

NO B/A sets worn

@@pratt11111 Single wearer at 1.55 . Other FFs tackling fire without BA from further back until wearer was donned up .

@@pratt11111Your comment is invalid. The first firefighter was upwind, and immediately getting water onto the fire, whilst his colleague donned BA, before taking over the close up attack. One assesses the risk, prior to taking appropriate action.

A lesson for the British firefighter always wear your SCBA

We do when necessary has we don't want or need to carry extra weight when working 😂 and we have far better control over the wearing of sets 😊

@@deniswoodbridge7167 sorry video shows otherwise, anytime in a hot zone should always be on air.Eating smoke it's manly these days cancer is a bad way to die

@@Lucyblacklab Firefighting is a dangerous job, and chances are if they were going to get cancer, they'd get it anyway. The 5-seconds they stood in that smoke whilst someone else put on SCBA isn't going to be the one thing that kills them. SCBA isn't a 100% guarantee to be cancer-free anyway. At least these guys put others first, always ready to jump on the fire, and worry about their own health second. It sounds awful, but that's exactly what every firefighter should be. Someone who will neglect their own health to protect others. And I applaud them for it. In the US, even if they have SCBA, still takes them 30 years to get any water on the fire. I don't know how they're so painfully slow.

How much water do they carry on these appliances, and what is the reel line hose diameter?? GREAT VIDEO!!!!!

1,800L and anywhere from 18-22mm diameter@@charleskirby6143

@@charleskirby6143 1800 Litres and 19 or 22 ml .

​@@charleskirby6143 1800 litres/ 400 gallons. First aid hose diameter 22mm.

No. It's how it's done. Someone gets water on the car from further back whilst another person puts the BA on. When the other person is ready, they take over and get closer. It allows water to be putting out the fire in ~10 seconds, instead of the average 2 minutes seen in the US when they all mess around putting on all their protective equipment.

Please ask if I can answer it I will 👍🇬🇧

​@@deniswoodbridge7167 I need original onwer

You assume incorrectly.

this is what is wrong with anti EV people, you assume too much

@@davidfogg1845 And this is what's wrong with pro-EV people.. instead of acknowledging how risky EV's are to the point that people now hear "car fire" and instantly think "EV fire", you just blame it on the other person and call them an idiot.

@Perseus7567 you do know, don't you know that an ice is more likely to catch fire than a EV and just were did I call someone an idiot, don't put words in my mouth
