Shop fire in Dalkey county dublin 

I love how people keep saying where is the fire brigade, it was just over 6 mins, thats pretty good, from the time someone rings them, thats about a minute to take the details, the guys get dressed and drive there, thats another 5 mins, thats pretty bloody good. there isn't a fire station on every corner

That is crazy how quickly that fire intensified

love how quickly they had water on the fire.

This crew was very efective and fast to place a hose in working if you see most of fires in USA sometimes they take over 2 minutes to get water in the nozzle. Good work.

I keep coming back to watch this just for the accent of the people talking. Love it!

Checked everyone was out and fire brigade was called before I pointed a camera karlos , it's a lesson to us all the speed at which it took off,

We can't be in two places at once, cut budget's we get there as fast as we can. GM Fire Service UK

Its been four months since the fire in Dalkey and I have witnessed and been part of a wonderful community effort to get grainne back home, The house has been rebuilt through many fund raisers and much effort from local people and at a time when all is gone to hell in Ireland its been a joy to watch this community spirit alive and well in Dalkey. She is nearly there, Check the Get Grainne Home Group on Facebook

An excellent catch for this fire. Thanks so much for posting this!

You're forgetting that the guys on call have to get from their homes (or wherever they are) to the firestation and then to the fire. A fire could start 10 metres from a station, and it might still take 5 minutes before the lads get there.

The Fire Brigade got there as quick as possible. The fire brigade is beside Bakers Corner a good 10mins from Dalkey so i'd say they arrived as quick as they could. Scary looking at how quick the place went up and luckily the wind was blowing the other otherwise Paddypowers might have got caught up in it also

the first crew were n attendance within 7 mins!!! and had the fire contained within 8! these ppl have to get from their house or work to the fire station, then mobilise! it wasn't a slow response!

so sorry for the people who lost all, how did it start?

I think this clip will prove invaluable for the future training of fire crews! Why I hear you ask ? Well see the end of the clip and watch the second fire truck slowly roll into the other vehicle while some firemen pass unawares between the closing gap.Serious leg injuries could have ensued. Another observation, I saw overhead wires that cross the street burning which could have broken and possibly fallen onto the fire truck!

Hard to hit the "like" button because it's a terrifying situation, but it's also amazing to watch.

This video should be a great learning opportunity for the fire brigade, and should be viewed during a PIA (post incident analysis) As far as response time goes you would need to know the facts, availability, distance of response, is this a paid or volunteer department? all of these things are factors in response times. As far as the operations on scene there are a number of things that should be looked at. Apparatus placement is too close, consider collapse zone, firefighters not in SCBA's (self contained breathing apparatus) no fixed water supply, did they pass a hydrant? The officer should immediately consider life safety and exposure concerns. All fire responses differ, but there are some basic strategies and safety issues that should be used on all responses. As I said this video should be viewed by the fire brigade and used as a learning tool for future responses.

You cant really pick on the irsh for their response time because you dont know what time the alarm was called in. What size is that hoseline that the fire was attacked with? it appears pretty small. Im used to the Unites States using bigger hoselines. Is there a certain strategy like steaming the fire you are trying to attempt?? Is that a standard attack line?? Thank you, nice engine and be safe!!

Can't say I really agree with the placement of their apparatus. If the shit hit the fan, those trucks would be toast.

Maybe if someone had closed the door it might not have caught on so quickly

what do you want them to do..be there as they happen? They got there as fast as they could. You saw yourself how fast it started to spreed. I think you should think more about the lady been safe than the building its self. The building can be replaced but you can not replace a life.

I knew when that glass broke there was going to be a big flashover.

Yeah. I know those buildings, as I work in one of them in Dalkey. It's like Hollywood film decoration made of timber frames and thin boards. Very old. This is why whole building burnt in 10 minutes.

Wow the speed of it.Scary.

Dalkey4you.. for your information, i was one on many bystanders at the scene of the fire, when i spotted the fire the very first thing I did was call a fire brigade ( as many other people did) the next thing i did was check that the lady who lived upstairs was safe, which she was, I then asked has paddy powers been checked and unfortunately was told by some muppet it had been, i did ask again during the fire and fortunately it was checked and emptied .. get your facts right ,

Gosh. What did that shop actually sell?

In Germany they could have been fired or sued because of needing more than 6 or 8 (Depends on the city) minutes to get the first Firetruck on the scene.

There was a fire in my street this morning in a cycle shop but it wasn't as big as this.

The nearest fire station is in Dún Laoghaire ( If they are available ). They may be out at another call. next is Donnybrook / Rathfarnham. If the Minister of the Environment and local Government gets his way the response will be worse in the future as he plans to reduce the pre-determined attendance for all fire calls!

aww i loved that shop!

Ahhhhhhhhh. Here they are called Volunteer Fire Departments and in rural America can be twenty minutes distant. They are commonly called " foundation savers) as the only thing remaining when they arrive is the foundation of the building. Cities and large town's have large fire departments and few fires. Most are now essentially emergency medical services.

Oh my god how did it start?

that was a hot fire. he could have gone further up but they got water onto the fire as soon as they could so that was the knocking down straight away. thanks was great and you must have been feeling the heat too

You are assuming that the local fire station appliance(s) were available

did anyone knock on the flat upstairs?

Good working fire.

what did you do?

wow, it's a verry quickly work from the fireengine. exactly to the minute legal work here in Germany 8 minutes to start after emergency call. no, i see it not of germany, i see it of my and ouer reality work of fireengine ;o) God save you all at emergency work !!!

No concept of B.A ? Their hose is also tiny !

Where the fire brigade-Maybe they have to drive there they can be like you just called then a minuet after the first appliance arrives

Surely between the two of you you could have put together a soundtrack for this?

I think the fire brigade done very well getting there it is not easiest part of Dublin to get around. Dublin is like any other city you can get a pizza faster than fire brigade just depends where you live

They say it's better to close doors and windows, so the fire doesn't receive fresh oxygen..

Holy moly lance xx

One possibility is that they may have been retained firefighters two they might have been from another area or coming from another shout Also it is strategic parking to protect the public and get the water quicker

How far away is the Fire Brigade? In the city of Boston, MA I don't believe there is any building within two minutes of a fire station. Boston has always been very conscious of the devastation of fire since the Great Boston Fire that burned down 80% of the city and thereafter put a fire station within just minutes of another..

My god I know this village Bono drinks here

jaysus

How long before it was safe to re-enter?

Them Panda Bins get in everywhere.

Where the hell is the fire brigade?

The public will be scared

Simple question---generally how distant is the fire brigades in Dublin?

I love you accents

I've always wanted to be in the GARDAI really any emergency service and when I see something for example this fire and I see the firebrigade putting it out or the GARDAI arresting someone I smile and laugh saying well done good on ya thinking that will be me some day

Shit just got real

i't flashed over

jesus thank god everyone was out, an old flatmate of mine died in the London Camberwell flats fire around 4 years ago

Talking out of your arse. The fire brigade arrived at 7:00 in this video. Allowing about 2 mins from the start of the fire to the start of recording (given the fire development) its a perfectly acceptable attendance time for a fire service anywhere... even in a country that has no fire cover or attendance standards. Just wait until The DLRCC manager and you'll know what a poor response time is ! And why do you want the Gardai..they dont put out fires !

Firefighters come off the rig with no airpacks donned? WTF? Apparently they have the ability to breath smoke without problems. Lol...

no idea but a lot of people who work in the Fire Brigade are on call not full time in the station then they have to prep the trucks before leaving . Im sure its hard to get around Dublin with a big fuck off truck because its hard enough in a small car

The first due brought out the trash lines? What?

Should have gone into paddy power and placed a bet on how long it would take the fire brigade to come! LOL

Some of you non Irish people looking at the time it takes for emergency services to get to a location In such a long time. the answer Is our country is useless because of how small we are and how shit the economy is I broke my arm one evening actually in Dalkey and it took 25 mins for an ambulance to get there. I might as well of just crawled to the hospital!!

Please forward this to all our arse-hole politicians who are cutting funding to services like An Garda and Fire services. I live in a rural area with a retained fire service and would hate to think of the consquences of a house fire in my area. Hope that lady is ok.

some man just taped this video with out a care in the world nice video

did enybody notes the fire like at 8:22 i tink a man gust strolled by with out a care in the world

hahahahahahaha foundation savers , brilliant :P

Took awhile for the fire department to respond

This is outrageous that the fire brigade took so long because now

These firefighters must have been sleeping when they got this alarm and had trouble waking up because the response time on this was terrible. If any people had been trapped in this building they all would have died for sure. I could have baked a cake in the time it took for these guys to arrive. Very very slow!!!!

No masks for an interrior attack ???......common Brothers , a 2&1/2 in the front door has the main body of fire darkened quickly......a back up line to the floor above.......VES the upper floors....we're back home in an hour.......bread & butter in a big city in the US .

@ Jack M we Americans are not stupid

clumsy fools Canadians make the best firefighters

Fuck me. 7 MUNUTES to arrive. that fire departement really need to wake up and work on their response time. way too long

uk fire brigade would of been there straight away haha what is it over there let everything burn

WHAT THE HECK REASON DID THE FIRE BREGADE TAKE SO LONG TO RESPOND??? SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY HURT BECAUSE OF THERE CARELESS B.S. !!!!
