- A helicopter with a monsoon bucket helps to douse the collapsed CTV Building as it burns. The earthquake knocked out the city water supply so tankers are seen ferrying water to the fire.
Approximate distance to corresponding fire stations in video.
0:46 & 4:30 Southbridge 50km
1:05 Kaiapoi 19km
1:44 Rangiora 29km
2:03 Waikuku Beach 32km
2:18 Sockburn (I think) 9km
2:40 & 3:15 Amberley 48km
2:55 & 3:32 Woodend 25km
3:40 Lincoln 21km
4:15 & 5:10 Burnham Camp 33km
5:25 Governors Bay 14km (and a very windy hill road).
Timaru 804 and Southbridge 451 also in video.
There was no reticulated water supply in the CBD due to damage so tankers were brought in from surrounding rural stations (Rolleston, Lincoln, Woodend, Rangiora, Kirwee, and some local council rural fire forces), Fire trucks from came from as far away as Dunedin & Oamaru to assist with USAR teams. There were 4 building fires in the CBD the largest being the CTV building. CHCH Air Rescue 2 is the chopper you can see using the monsoon bucket it was filling up from the flooded Avon River.
For those not wanting to look into the distance involved... Dunedin is 4 hours reckless drive in a car south of Christchurch. Lincoln is about 40 min from this site.
respect to all that helped that day
I’ve never known a video of responding fire engines to make me feel so horrendously sad, knowing what has gone on to call them in and watching all the pedestrians wandering the roads.
Interesting video of the various different appliances going back and fourth, no doubt having to refill with water at nearby water sources such as rivers and sea, and of course the helicopter doing the same.
CobraEmergencyVideos - Europe the Avon river is less than 1km from the burning collapsed building
Bit of a hard video to watch knowing how many people died in that building that day. I remember I'd just sat down for some lunch when the news came through on the radio. I was horrified to be honest.
How many people died in that building?
@@justinsmith4562 115 died in the CTV building.
The water supply got knocked out by the quake.
3:29 sums it all up, what a day
Given the frequency and size of the aftershocks, the guys at 4:50 are brave as hell (unless theyre being punished by their stationmates).
I don't think they gave a damn that day
Perhaps because in a natural disaster where more than half the city was ruins, and services such as electricity and water were broken, they needed to use all the resources they had?
So sad that day all the buildings in Christchurch got damage and destruction in it.
omg i watch mi first fire rescues from nz and i understand the voolunter firedepts and thats was incredible bro take more shoots .. greeting from argentina
Cool catches, interesting rigs :)
My mum was stuck in the city at the time of the earthquakes I thought she was died
The Appliance at 2:03 is Waikuku Beach 1811
I have got a video of emergency services in the CBD and the chopper filling up in the Avon River will try and post soon
@scotsfire lots :-) You'd have all chch appliances, plus surrounding areas, and from outside of chch as well. If I do get a full list i'll let you know
So if the fire trucks go back, does that mean that they’re out of water?
Yes, they are pendeling to get water to the fire, once they are empty they go to a water source to refill
Because this was a disaster and every truck was being used! Duh
Nice video !👍👍👍
in total how many pumps tankers hrv cu osu were call to the city for the earth quake
Every truck and tanker from throughout the greater Christchurch area was called in aswell as fire appliances from around the south island arrived in the later days
I know ambulance wise, 50-70 ambulances from around the country were sent to christchurch via the Air Force, a hundred or so ambulance officers, Paramedics etc were sent from all over the country and based out at the waddington St John camp. Wellington Free Ambulance also airlifted ambulances and ambulance personnel
1:09 I think it was going to a car crash
Absolute chaos
Whats the appliance at 2:03 ?
Im guessing some kind of water tank truck
Old Beford watertanker

thats 1 way to fight a fire water bomb it
why the hell are you guys still using 50 year old fire trucks!
it's only because the needed everything we have they don't normally use them.
If u was in chch when the earth took over that day u will understand y they did
That day if it had wheels and moved and carried water it got used
Every emergency vehicle was in use that day. I remember civilian vehicles (especially flatbeds) were being used as make-shift ambulances because the city had run out.
