British-mechanic I'm a Hgv mechanic and occasionally get work on British fire engines. I drive a fast car reasonably well, but I take my hat off to the men and women who drive these fantastic machines. I get to drive them around the industrial park where I work, I don't obviously drive as quick as your dad, and never will. I don't know how he does, you can really feel the weight of them as you go into corners at speed. I wish him and his colleagues good health and happiness in there jobs and life
wots ma name. Thanks mate I’ll tell him. I’ve got an old video somewhere of me as a kid driving the fire engine round the yard of the old Victorian fire station in our area (before they built a modern new one 😭) sat on my dads lap. Bet you wouldn’t get away with that now! All I can ever remember is the smell of rubber and smoke, I think it was the b.a and other things around
I love the technology there have mate how does the emergency one display. Work I study sciences I've also study firefighting and fire investigation. Also where do you get the angal torches from
My dad's a firefighter and driver and he says the machines are surprisingly okay to drive as all the weight is in the bottom of the truck so it's quite planted on the road
@@montyzumazoom1337 🤣🤣 they aren't usually filled with water there is a hose attached to the tank and they plug that into the hydrant and then another to a pump which is how the water comes out. There would never be enough water to put out a whole fire
Looking, looking, looking - thinking several steps ahead. Got to help people, keep the crew safe & everyone en route! Such a sense of relief when you hear the sirens, see the blues 😊
I'd correct your sentence If I were you. I'm a 'youth' of today being 18 and I have nothing but respect for the emergency services. Proud to support the thin red line.
Thank you for your much valued service. One observation with the video is why don't the crew wear hearing protection and a mic intercom system to better communicate between crew. You see these systems being used in USA Fire engine use. Take care
We don't because simply it is very quiet inside the cab and there is no need for that sort of system. I assume the USA use them because of the noise of the monster V8's and some crew cabs look to be separated from the front.
Having served in both countries, the headsets are required in the US due to the engine noise and also the physical size of the vehicle. In the UK the cabs are a lot quieter and smaller
Paul Storer it’s an appliance control screen, so gives information about lockers and doors seatbelts etc and is where you control the emergency lights from. When pumping there is another screen at the back which controls the pump, and that information is duplicated onto the screen in the cab.
Emergency One is the Scottish based company that makes the ' fire engine ' part that goes onto the lorry chasis which might be made by Scania , Volvo or MAN . The older fire appliances were often made by Dennis , but these are not so common now .
JDC (John Dennis Coachworks) are no longer in business. The Dennis were excellent machines but were made up of thousands of parts from all over the place, It is now more cost efficient to buy a Chassis Cab from a truck manufacturer and get the specialist body builder to fit the fire engine bits
First is self confidence and second is willingness If you are so interested and willing depend on your self confidence as much as possible and show willingness without harming others and.. ofcourse authorities also should understand the willingness of the candidate who can be a would be fireman or a driver.
Myrm Ants in the US, the driver is called an Engineer or Driver/Operator. Their job is to drive the engine, maintain it, and pump water from it on fires. The team leader, usually called a Lieutenant or more commonly Captain, rides in the passenger seat with the computer terminal
The Firestation itself is now used as a community hub,it has a gardener's club,cooking courses and a great collection of model fire engines,also they left the pole in and the cushion,not had a go yet but really want to.
I find it very interesting I've studied fire investigation but never seen inside off a update fire engine cab how does the emergency one display work. I've got a degree in electrical engineering
Emergency One is the body builder (a fire appliance is built on a commercial chassis (Volvo, Scania, etc) E1 I think I remember are a Scottish based company. The in cab electronics (the E1 screen) provide the driver (and admin) with all necessary info on the how the machine is working and performing. I used to buy fire appliances.
No, they do slow down inconsiderate drivers, they do stop people being hit and in the more quiet back roads they are installed they do keep children in the streets safer and they do the job they set out to do, you say it as if all they do is dely response times for emergency services. My daughter was hit by a car as she ran out between parked cars after the ice cream truck and if it wasnt for those speed bumps slowing the driver down to a crawl, she would be dead. Its a shame they slow emergency services down but i still think without them it would be worse.
amazing insight a question though if i may what would happen if a station if there was a drill going on and the bells went down that required a full house call ie all machines to the same shout ie a major ?
Richard Jones ... they'd have to pack the kit away as quickly as possible, and then respond to the call. It happens all the time. But if the make-up would result in a significantly delayed response they'd have to inform control, who may or may not, turn out another machine from another station.
SPEAK FOR YOURSELF!! you either have lived there in the past and hated it for some reason, I used to do lots of volunteering in EEP,try be nice for once on your life!!!
It's gipton fire station in Leeds...it was closed down due to budget cuts...they've built a new one about three miles away and merged some stations also the police are in the same station .....Tories , don't you just love em...😂😂
All emergency vehicles have military grade Satnavs these days. People keep nicking them out of Ambulances, but they can be turned off, blown up firmware bricked, of set to be tracked by the police, so you get traced and nicked. They don't use Tomtoms.
Sat nav can be useless, better to have properly trained crews who study & know the area. Not just where to go, but alternative routes for different times of day & night, even seasons, along with the nature of the risk at the address they are mobilised to by prior inspection.
I’d like to die peacefully like my grandad did in his sleep... Not like the 40 passengers screaming for their lives on his coach as he went over the cliff 😂
Pisses me off when im driving ( full uk license since 1982) and i consider myself average after all this time.... while checking my mirrors and listening out if a emergency vehicle is within my vicinity and slow down and other drivers blast their horns give you the Bird knowing full well in seconds whats coming our way and guess what..... YES those drivers find they've got almost nowhere to go and get the evil eye from the emergency vehicle crew, it's worth pointing out that most emergency vehicles have both front and rear cameras if anything untowards occurs and let's face it... It does, please be aware that any of these vehicles could be on the way to your family or friends... it's not rocket science!!... and now i await lots of abusive replies.
Hello I am a teacher from Bradford. I am creating an educational video for young people teaching them about the importance of our amazing emergency services and why they must be respected. Please could I use some of this footage with crediting of course?
The Fire Service don't use sat navs for some reason. In Ambulances the MDT gives us the info on the job and then maps us to the incident. The Fire Service still use teleprinters which print out the job and grid ref and they then use an A-Z to navigate.
My old station at Clifford St, York, is now a restaurant and flats. Happy days when York had two pumps, turntable ladder, and a rescue boat. The new station has one pump thanks to the local councillors!
I do wish the driver kept his eyes on the road at all times. There was no need to look at his colleague when he spoke. 8+ tonnes of fire engine can do a lot of damage if the unexpected happened when you're looking elsewhere.
The road on the yard side of our house is especially narrow, and yet I have seen a fire engine go along it (i live in a block of terrace houses, and the roads on the yard side of the houses are very narrow, and the roads on the garden side of the houses are reasonably wide, there are multiple blocks of terrace houses, with the garden sides back to back and the yard sides back to back)
@@warailawildrunner5300 ooooh, no. if they did that, they would have to stop, close the road off, fill out a report in triplicate, and have a debrief as to why they bumped the car out the way. When that's all done, they can carry on to the fire.
@@ayl3166 Sure they have to fill out forms in triplicate.... afterwards. But they are legally allowed to in the case of lives in danger. I've asked a few of them about this
Why don't they keep the siren on until they're arrived?!?!?🤦🏻♂️ They could save more time: if you hear the siren you can run on the street and let them arrive before! Btw I really appreciate what they do every day for us. so much respect!

Why did you stop being a full time?

Except a bus or coach is not full of water!

First question the officer always asks the driver, “Do you know where it is?” True around the world!
The officer has a little computer if the driver doesn't know the way he can put a GPS to the shout and help him to the scene
and that's why they cab drive on their days off 😂 " Bless Em "
I don’t think we appreciate how they put their lives before ours !

The speed humps were installed to slow down inconsiderate drivers, but it's the emergency services which are delayed in their response times.
