I've never understood why European and UK fire services can get water on in 3 mins max - often in under a minute. Most US/Canadian crews regularly take more that 5 mins even for simple jobs like car fires.

​@@greenpedal370US fire engines don't usually have on board water supplies, so they can't squirt water until they hook up to a hydrant

@@daftendirekt97849 You telling me firetrucks in North America do not have water tanks on board?

@@greenpedal370 I'm sure there are some that do, but many don't.

Bore off.

And do exactly what ?. Whoever was filming please hold your phone in Landscape as you will see 3 x as much in the picture

And hold it still 🤢

Perhaps the front window led to a compromised floor directly above the basement fire as it would in my property. Im sure the decisions they made were based on the information they had because they were there, as opposed to mistakes they made because you were not . However i cant be sure because i was not there , but what do i know im just an old lady with common sense who has faith in the fire service.

Not there, no opinion

​@samcushing1366 what and open the front door without crouching down and cracking the door open.and pulsing into the ceiling..good job you weren't in the Fire service you'd be a liability..😂😂😂😂😂

I checked with my sons who are both in the fire service they agreed with the firefighters from the video and said they did a fantastic job. They haven't been in anywhere near 36 years yet tho. I think my sons must be from a different brigade to you based on your picture. As they have little stripes on their helmets, and now wear white ones , I must say i wish they kept their kit as clean and new looking as yours , like its hardly been worn . very smart . God bless

As a 40 year psychology professor it seems , to me at least , that based on your screen name, your picture, your need to brag about your length of service to strangers, who didn't ask i might add . As well as your desire to criticise others, that your whole identity and sense of worth is intertwined with the fact you used to be a firefighter?( Do you bring it up a lot when you first meet people ? for example) It seems such a shame that after 36 years you feel the best way to relive the glory days is to attempt to tear down those who have come after you in such a proud profession . Its easy to criticise While you sit on your sofa, from the safty of your computer, with benefit of 20/20 hindsight... and still you suggest, despite not being there or having any of the information the firefighters on scene had, That diving head first into a room with a wooden floor directly above the fire into what could have been a locked or hoarded room is a better option than the one that these heros used to resolve the incident safely and effectively. my Ron used to say " If you're going to go out of your way to correct someone, then be correct" . Have you considered taking up golf ? God bless. SJP.

Yeah they are

fucking terror <3
