Such a fascinating contrast with the USA. Here you've got one truck to gets water on the fire within a minute of arrival and the fire is contained. In the USA, you'd have four fire trucks, 4 fire cars, 6 police cars, an ambulance and then a 20 minute delay before any water is actually put on the fire.
You speak the truth Sir. However you forgot to mention the order list for the Doughnuts. And every firefighter must be equipped with a 6ft wrecking bar before thinking about putting the fire out.
Lmao thats so true. Sending a tower ladder out to a vehicle fire in USA i will never understand. Us brits are straight on it no wasting time watching it burn like they do in USA
From the appliance coming to a stop at 0:17 water is on the fire at 0:45 That's 28 seconds. Flames extinguished at 1:27 That's 42 seconds to extinguish. Damping down complete at 5:08 That's 4:51 in total, and not a Doughnut in sight. Another training video for the land of oversized Tonka Toys.
I really love how most european fire trucks arrive on the scene with lines ready to spray. Not sure how that is maintained or how it would work in Winter, but it certainly reduces the response time. They can attack the fire in a few seconds instead of needing at least 5 minutes.
In many fire station in the UK and Europe they have under floor heating in the appliance bays to keep constant temperature. The hose reel, two on most appliances, is used as first attack line whilst other hoses are laid out if required. On small jobs such as the one above there is no need to bowl out numerous lengths of hoses thus saving a lot of work.
@@frankmitchell1530 thank you. I learned from your reply. Here we can get temps of -10 to -30c. That has challenges. The lines would freeze before arrival.
I came to make the same comment. It's such a dramatic contrast with American fire brigades where it seems that the trucks don't carry water and take ages connecting hoses before actually getting water on the fire.
@@PaulStewartAviation they do carry water, but not enough for a structure intervention. More than enough for a vehicle fire. I think it's around 500 gallons? Ladder trucks last I checked need an external supply due to the systems needed to raise the ladder.
Take a look at this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g-H1v8aOFIQ.html From coming to a stop they have two rapid attack lines on the fire in 8 seconds. They knew what they were coming to and had Breathing Sets on before they even arrived. In the US the store would have gone up in flames before they got water on.
