In the UK, do the cops give you a hard time if you’re observing at a fire scene? Some places in the US, they treat you like a suspected arsonist if you’re there without valid business. I’ve been stopped and questioned and asked for ID by cops in my home city simply for showing too much interest at fires or, worse yet, taking pictures.
BucksBlue LightVids...here it varies greatly from city to city. In some cities, you can almost walk right up to the building that’s on fire. In other cities, at the opposite extreme, the cops block the street at both ends and if you try to enter on foot, they stop you and question you intensely and then order you to leave the area.
@@BucksBlueLightVids Sadly the number of nuisance amateurs or, people with phone cameras getting in the way does cause problems. However as a photographer who has had news photo's published- It depends on both the attitude of the Police Officer AND the Photographer. There's no polite way of saying it- Some of the Police think they are superior to God himself. Put another way some (a small Minority thankfully) conform to the How to be as Obnoxious as possible club, for no other reason than they like the sound of their own voice. I found the way round it was usually a polite, quiet word with either a more senior officer or, the white hat on scene. Unless downright hazardous that usually worked, and, an occasional decent print or two delivered to the lead station worked wonders for co-operation.
Due to the fire being a distance away from a fire hydrant, they use these to lay large amounts of hose down and will be able to pump large quantities of water to the fire scene
@@BucksBlueLightVids There were hydrants on scene but due to the rural location they were at the end of the water mains system so the flow rate and pressure was nowhere near enough. There were 3 AP's each capable of using more than 3000 l/min not to mention multiple jets running from pumps. Water supply was a major limiting factor in the brigades ability to get on top of the fire earlier. Particularly given that several HVP's from neighbouring counties failed. In the end there were units from Oxfordshire there.
@@richardjones4080 they literally carry just under 2 miles of hose and then a large pump to enable the water to be pumped from the water supply to the incident ground
These vehicles wouldn't be first in attendance to an incident, the first firefighters in attendance will locate the nearest hydrant and connect to it using hoses on the appliances, the High Volume Pumps and hose layers shown in the video will be requested to attend when the water source is a distance from the incident ground, this being a hydrant, lake or river. Answer to your question about hose length, the hose will be disconnected at the nearest coupling and the excess will be placed in such way that it wouldn't get in the way of operations
No, because the UK, like most of Europe, has extensive hydrant systems. This means that laying a long supply line is not common. We use rolled hose in the UK, which is far quicker and easier to deploy for firefighting. Our ‘Engines’ are also the equivalent of the US engine, ladder and much of the rescue in one vehicle.

Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Really great to watch
Thanks 😊
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Great video! Love seeing the water carriers and large appliances on scene
Thank you 😊
Great One! I know this was ages ago I juts cant stop watching!
Thank you, means a lot
Blimey, appliances have changed a tad from the early 80s when I was a Junior Fireman at Barkers Lane!
Excellent footage Bucks 👍🏻🧑🏻🔥👨🚒👩🏻🚒🚒
Cheers mate
@@BucksBlueLightVids No worries 👍🏻🧑🏻
Cracking video!! So glad we went!
Thank you! Yes so glad we went!
BucksBlue LightVids Jensen said he and you both got some good footage
@@okay3256 we did indeed
Splendid Video, hear the turbo chargers sooking, ha, ha I'm Chuckling, hope everything is ok. Millions Thames Valley xxxx
Errmmm thank you?
@@BucksBlueLightVids Cool your a Diamond, have a great day.
@@BucksBlueLightVids I love making the noise of the turbos and changing gears, should have a contest for the best human diesel engine. Psht psht rumrum.
Unusual to see three at once
They came from multiple counties and this was the main staging area for them
@@BucksBlueLightVids Nice to know Ta
Nice footage, how many hours was the fire brigade at scene for
Ermm a couple of days if I remember correctly
That hose layer must be a nightmare to reload correctly!
Thankfully it has a hose retrieval system installed so all they need to do is lay it in position
Amazing video
Thanks

We get asked what we are doing and stuff, but once explained, they are fine with it

It can be the same here, if the police or fire have set up a cordon, you can't go any further than that cordon

Should I do a throwback video to the bucks incident back in october at stokenchurch which I was lucky to be at cause we were visiting my grandad
Yeah would be good
Interesting video. what was the reason these units were deployed there?
Due to the fire being a distance away from a fire hydrant, they use these to lay large amounts of hose down and will be able to pump large quantities of water to the fire scene
@@BucksBlueLightVids Thanks :)

@@benpaynter Yep, that's right
Putting those hoses back on must be a nightmare! Is this process mechanised?
Yes, they have a retrieval system on the side which brings the hose back in to the pod and then a firefighter will lay it in it's place inside
Why were the police there??
@@marcusstevenson4600 because they had to shut the road off
Maybe the yanks could learn something instead of manually reloading all their hoses
@@nphil93992 The yanks never learn anything from anyone ! There can't possibly be anyone anywhere who can do things better than the yanks.
Recognise this actually, i believe i spotted that officer car on the day it was responding to this incident! thought i recognised the 4x4!
Will most likely of been responding together
Bloody hell, the red paint on that prime mover at 7.05 is well oxidised. Needs a bit of T-Cut I reckon!
Red paint is worse than most at keeping its colour, they probably sit outside most of the time and the units are 15 years old
Unfortunatley these trucks are kept outside so the sun fades the paint and markings
I hope this is just practice? I see a lot of confusion. Taking forever to establish a good water supply?
Nope this was the real thing. Unfortunately one of the HVPs broke down so they required another one from a neighbouring county
I say! How long are you chaps going to block the road for? I have a very important game of golf to attend! Sad but true.
Indeed
Great
Thanks
You know theyre gonna be a while when they have porta potties on the back
Not sure what truck your on about mate
are the changeable back end vehicles chem response ?
These aren't, but the fire services do have them, these ones are hose layers and high volume pumps
@@BucksBlueLightVids by the name i guess they carry more water or whatever firefighting agent to deal with said fire especially for larger incidents ?
@@richardjones4080 they literally carry just under 2 miles of hose and then a large pump to enable the water to be pumped from the water supply to the incident ground
@@BucksBlueLightVids ohh for hard to access shouts ok
Where there is difficult water supply yes
How long is that hose
3km or just under 2 miles
What happens when you arrive at the distance between hydrant and scene, and have more flat hose in the truck, do you cut it (to size), to connect ?
@@pqrstzxerty1296 if you looks like metal circle and you unscrew them
These vehicles wouldn't be first in attendance to an incident, the first firefighters in attendance will locate the nearest hydrant and connect to it using hoses on the appliances, the High Volume Pumps and hose layers shown in the video will be requested to attend when the water source is a distance from the incident ground, this being a hydrant, lake or river.
Answer to your question about hose length, the hose will be disconnected at the nearest coupling and the excess will be placed in such way that it wouldn't get in the way of operations
So they don't have 5in supply on their engines?
Nah they don't
@@BucksBlueLightVids i was about to say they do but i realised he mean the a hose lay in the back of the truck and not the rolled up supply
line

What was the job?
16 pump industrial unit fire
BucksBlue LightVids cheers
@@jld9107 No problem
Did they put the fire out in the end ?
