@@BucksBlueLightVids Things must have changed as each length in Greater Manchester had station number and hose number. Someone has to take responsibility for standard testing and recording them.
Because the old ones are fourteen years old and due for replacement. Plus their engines do not meet the tough low emissions requirement to operate in the capital. Ignore all that ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️😂😂😂😂 Now having watched the video in full I realise that that was not what you meant!!! Could’ve been just relieving the first crew of their duties. The end of shift sees many/all of the crews and vehicles relieved of their duties because I’m pretty sure fire brigades don’t pay overtime!
@@Absolut531kmh the LFB must have awesome staffing levels...70 firefighters on a 4-pump fire. 70 divided by 4 pumps plus maybe 2 TL’s equals over 10 firefighters per appliance. I’m certainly no expert, but I’m guessing this was more than a 4-pump fire.
@@BucksBlueLightVids yes I know that, but why have they replaced OKR's old Merc TL with a new Scania if it isn't going to stay there? Would it be for familiarisation purposes I wonder?
@@YelpBullhorn Yes and because the areas still need an operational TL for now, the old ones are way past their operational use times so are only used as reserve vehicles
Hey Chief! Why don't we show off the new ladder? We can flow water in about another 45 minutes again. Chief what did you say? The fire will be out by then. Sorry!
I know there are so many practical and operational reasons to change over appliances when a relief vehicle is in attendance. However it would be easier just to change crews.
Blame Asset co for running appliances on well past their serviceable life. Though 14 years old is not bad for an aerial in the provinces as they probably only turn out 20 times a year. Merseyside refurbished and remounted a number of ALP booms on new chassis, they are close to 20 plus years old.
Could be a "smokeless fuel" which is approved for use in smoke control areas. There is also the fact that the fire in the building will vent via the chimley regardless of if the chimley is used normally.
Mercedes built --- not as bulky as a Pierce and certainly more maneuverable than a Pierce.. Not that street in New York City are challenging - Try driving one of our appliances on a shout through the streets of Soho mate ...Then drive one of yours LOL
I noticed the TL at 2:40 is from A21 in Paddington. That station became famous in the book Red Watch about the Worsley Hotel fire.
That's bloody amazing!
We all know they told that one old ladder truck to pack it up
"Ok, bring in the new one."
Great footage. Nice to see the new and the old next to eacother
Thanks mate ,,subscribed ... Loved the cherry picker TTL with bending ladder.
Very good video
Please keep Guy in your thoughts....and prayers

Nice video mate I subscribed
Great footage mate bet all those lengths of hose are confusing which pump they belong to
They aren't allocated specific hoses, as long as they have the correct allocated amount there isn't an issue

Steven Booth .... I'm fairly sure that's the actual case with all fire brigades. Every piece of kit is numbered.
Superb
What was the point of swapping the old tl to the new one ??

O right ok 👍 thank you for the reply
They changed because the new one had more capability’s ie the first one was ridged the second one could bend and get over the roof more
@@Manc-king true
Good 👍 video
Viper are you starting the fires to have subject to film?
Great video Rory
Awesome video
Great footage
Lock stock and 2 burning bars !
I was also there, nice clips!
Fantastic mate 🧑🏻👍🏻🔥👩🏻🚒👨🏻🚒🚒
Very nice!
How many pumps attended?
Around 4 I think, maybe 3 idk

@@zyglo9826 maybe 6?
@@zyglo9826 cuz if I'm not wrong, a truck can fit 5 to 7 firefighters.
@@zyglo9826 yea there's 2 TL's, maybe each have 3 crew?
Old Kent Road with a Scania 32-metre TL. I thought they were getting one of the monster 64-metre jobbies?
They are not operational yet

Man, they've got some corn-fed fire fighters in London.
What does ‘corn-fed’ mean.
@@heli-crewhgs5285 Coloured Yellow as in corn fed chicken. He was being derogatory just trying to be amusing and obviously failing. 😉
At least European fire fighters used BA all the time 40 years ago
Didn’t need 20 never mind 70
You are right, I notice jobs we would have handled with two pumps in the 1980's require four pumps these days.
@@jonathanwarrenberg9260 Maybe increase in Dupont
Who is he

No insurance job at all . . . . . Looks like they've made a big enough drama over it for the media. Created quite the 'Scene' 😁
Gotta love those diesel engines
Amen. Love the 550 HP sound of a Pierce tower ladder with a Caterpillar engine
That's not a pub but it's a boozer a smoking Boozer.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️

I think the second ladder/platform had more capabilities. The second one could bend over the roof more to get closer in
the newer one has an articulated top ladder section, the old one doesn't
Thank god the LFB has RUclips commenters to help them think. They never would have considered this option otherwise!
Pub ,lockdown ,COVID,mmmmmm ,insurance,no no I’m sorry
pubs are open now as they leave strick rules as long as they keep social distance thing
How sad that was a lovely pub before he had it...
mockney gone ...do it up n ill dj for free...
A crew of 70 and 10 trucks? Oh wait, a celebrity.
Insurance job I bet
Our stupid streets were built in the day's when will hay put fires out
Could be American streets
Lmao 😂 we’re they saving a cat or something? ... all do respect of all members of the fire service. Good job brothers and sisters!!!
Insurance job 👍

Aye up till recently southport had a 98 volvo on the run as aerial
Here in ireland thats perfectly acceptable unfortunately
We keep the pumps that are broken for false alarms ha
@@simonlittler3976 those Volvos will probably be running well after I’ve gone. Absolute tanks
Dennis sabres still on Dublin streets
chimney shows they got a real fire going in fireplace illegal in london don't care who u are rules apply

They should use a Pierce fire engines.
name one reason why
You think it would cope with narrow London Streets & Traffic. ? I think not
Too big and heavy for our old bridges and narrow streets.
If it ain’t broke why fix it
