God I miss the engine sound of those sabres

Great driving. By the 2 pumps. Pump 1 driver i won't to work with you ..

04:01 Here, on the right in Green Lane, a bungalow burned down, some years previously.

Long Drive. No closer Fire Stations

Watford, the town where I was born and lived for the first 18 years of my life, Since then I have lived and worked in 6 other countries. But I still recognise many of those streets. That siren a bit of an irritation though.

Great driving

I live directly under a flight path for air ambulance taking urgent calls to hospitals 15km from my home, with covid19 it has been eerie quite like all the people have vanished.

Before covid19 I could frequently hear sirens but now very rarely, which in itself I find very uncomfortable.

Great driving, but too fast.

2:09 see ya!

Are you a firefighter

Love British pump engines, best engine sound there is.

Action Stations!

There used to be more fire stations when I grew up in Watford. I guess it’s cheaper to have just one now. More risk to life if they have to go so far to . On this shout there’s not too much traffic!

My god chucking a truck around like a car you could teach the police a thing or two on how to drive. Well done you firefighters are the bravest warriors we have protecting us except of course for the SAS

Great driving on difficult roads, and great discipline by drivers of Watford and South Oxhey.

Watford represent

Why was this on my recommendation

Best video around i think of 2 proper engines on a shout. The way they handle the turns at speed

I wish My bus ride to work was like this

Oh wow. They passed my old street. Riverside road. Mother still lives there. But I've Not been there in 28 years. Moved to Perth Australia with my dad. But seeing this footage. Feels like only yesterday I was there

Camera shoulda been in the 1st one .he wasnt hanging around hahaha

Craizy ahah

Drove right passed my house in Queens Avenue, don’t see them any more since they moved the fire station to the Lower High Street.

That's a long long run.

Love it how everyone complies. Its why i dont have music on in my car when im driving. U got to think of the 8 minutes target

Its weird watching a video knowing exactly what roads they're on

I remember when I had an iPhone 4 with a cracked lense

Where was the Fire ?? In China ??

I know fireman want the thrill of a fire as its why most take the job but are they happier to turn up at a place and there is nothing or nothing atleast left to worry about, or there is a good fire for them to take on and sort? Im guessing the younger more excited but less experienced are happier with the lata but the old experienced who have seen alot, are happier with the first outcome

Watched this video many times has to be the best one l have seen so far.The camera action from following truck is ace the leading truck goes round some of those corners on two wheels.Great to watch a shout and this delivers in bucket fulls.

Was this part of a training exercise?

I loved RBFRS’s sabre always clean and was an absolute beast! Now they have been replaced by Mercedes atego’s and Volvo FL8’s

Mad the pump ladders driver got air at 3:40 at the lights and didnt fuck if he hit anything.

These guys and girls are modern day super hero's, my Mam worked for Tyne and Wear fire brigade for 20 years, the amount of abuse that the Brigade get now on the streets is ridiculous, as if they haven't got a delicate work load to deal with already its has become all the more risky when on a shout from members of the public abusing them. The lads really don't need to be dragging body armour around on top of a already cumbersome kit. Respect to all of you 🤝🏻

I was always fond of these machines, dennis sabre will out perform the scania rubbish any day

By the time they get there the chippy will be closed

Are they still in Watford? It seemed as if they had responded across all of England. That was a long ride. The problem with station centralization I expect. So many great European cities have only three or four massive fire stations quartering a dozen or more fire and rescue vehicles. Each station covers it's own section of the city, thus centralization. As opposed to the U.S. system of large cities and towns having fire departments made up of anywhere between two to twenty or more smaller stations spread out across the city forming a type of grid, where apparatus from different stations responds in conjunction with one another. Thus smaller response areas and shorter response times.

No wonder you have Driver's Training fire trucks in the UK. You need the best to race down those narrow streets dodging parked vehicle's and traffic.

filmed with a potato again. do everyone a favor and don't do it again. lol

I would have loved to have been a firefighter, I had always wanted to be one since I was a wee boy in Edinburgh, my dreams however were dashed when I discovered I hated heights, mind you though, I would have been able to have attended bungalow house fires lol

Amazing driving by both drivers. It must be tough driving appliances at speed safely. A lot of ground to cover though

at 3.40 did the first 1 drift it round the lights

Somewhere up Prestwick Road, apparently.

Thanks for a great video

guy in front is a good driver.

Are u a fire fighter in the uk?

I wish I could drive a big loud van

You went through the red light

the first driver was impressive!!
