*20 PUMP FIRE* Somerset House Fire - LFB Response and On Scene Footage

[@Ger-xp8hd]

Get a life guys. Is your duvet and PJs from the Fireman Sam range?

[@shnbrwn]

Ironic that you're telling others to get a life when you have nothing better to do than leave silly comments on youtube videos that you yourself did, indeed click onto as well.

[@Demun1649]

You are so OUT OF DATE. No one wears Fireman Sam any more. We all wear the Trumpton PJs. Keep up.

[@billiesmith2281]

What amazing footage…..the best ever! Absolutely brilliant. x

[@alanchandler254]

Was it really nessecary for this amount of response?

[@TSEmergency]

@@alanchandler254 There’s a lot of question regarding that. The majority of the response shown in this video is relief for the crews who responded initially, so that they weren’t on scene for the whole duration. Also, the 20 pump response was mainly for more manpower rather than equipment. Now that Breathing Apparatus procedures have changed, firefighters tend to only spend time in the building once. BA is now ‘one wear’ so to speak, unless there are special circumstances. So, more firefighters are required to form new BA crews. A few years ago when there was less of a focus on contaminants, you would often see firefighters making multiple entrances into the building. However, the more time you spend in such an environment, there is more of a risk of suffering the effects of carcinogens and harmful chemicals present in the fire and smoke itself. I hope this helps! And thank you for watching

Interesting to see the lead vehicle was donated by the London Freemasons 0.07

[@TSEmergency]

Yeah, two of three 64M Turntable Ladders were donated by the Freemasons if I remember correctly. They also donated a few Mitsubishi Outlander vehicles, used by both fire officers and the Drone Team. Very useful!

[@Squad61]

Why was the rescue platform taken off the turntable ladder?

[@TSEmergency]

@@Squad61 I’m not too sure actually, I’ll try to find out possible reasons

[@BenTheDoug]

@@TSEmergencyI believe LFB have an attachment for their TLs that allows for a safe access anchor point. I would imagine, if they were working on the roof which had unguarded edges they would have used this to attach lines to, with the TLs ladder set extended up above them.

[@TSEmergency]

@@BenTheDoug That sounds about right. That’s interesting. Thanks for the information

[@EdwardWalker-j4p]

Excellent vid

[@TSEmergency]

Thank you, good to see you commenting again!

[@jb6142]

Love it at 6.04 when they shake hands in the boom as if to say.. "well it's been nice knowing you"

[@TSEmergency]

@@jb6142 Ah yeah, I like that

Why does the siren always located at the front but not on top of the fire brigade

[@TSEmergency]

Many years ago you would have the siren speaker or two tones on the roof, but I think to allow for a cleaner design and more clearance, it was decided to put the speaker behind the grille

Great video mate

@@BucksBlueLightVids Cheers, glad you like the catches!

[@KaanOzer-tu3wr]

how do you know where the fires are going to be?

[@TSEmergency]

@@KaanOzer-tu3wr This fire was ongoing before I arrived. I saw a few social media posts regarding it, so I made my way down there and it turned out very well! Thanks for watching

[@marcjeffery742]

Did Soho Fire Station turn up to Somerset House

[@TSEmergency]

@@marcjeffery742 Yep, pump and pump ladder as far as I know, not sure about the TL though

[@jsimmo52]

At least they didn't have to go far for a very large supply of water!

[@jld9107]

Full attendance list?

[@TSEmergency]

Currently working on that, there were many machines on scene but I missed some of the initial ones. If I ever do include a list, it won’t be the full one. But I’ll try my best to find out everything

[@jld9107]

@@TSEmergency excellent work, looked mental, did I see Sidcup?, miles away

[@TSEmergency]

@@jld9107 Ah yeah, I was surprised to see them showing up, my guess is they were ordered as relief

[@jestarman]

​@@TSEmergency it went up to 20 as far as I know before they started rolling in reliefs. A few stations were on SR that day but was swiftly cancelled lol. From what I can remember Soho, Islington,Dowgate, Kentish Town, Brixton, Shoreditch, Whitechapel, Dockhead, Chelsea, Stratford's OSU that's all I can remember off the top of my head lol

the 32m scania looks so much better without the basket on it looks like a propper APL from the 90s now, also was that a erea commander taking his chance to go up in the 64m APL 😂😂😂

@@TheSurferboi1992 Our TLs are beautiful man. I think the white hat was going up to get the lay of the land, he probably doesn’t get to go up it very often! Thanks for watching pal

@TSEmergency he just wanted to have a ride in it, we use drones now, which gives a live picture to the command units for the layout of the land and builds

[@TSEmergency]

@@TheSurferboi1992 Ah okay, I think I did see a drone up in that area of the job

[@MrTrev2507]

Used to be called ALP(Aerial Ladder Platform), have they changed it to APL now ??

[@TSEmergency]

@@MrTrev2507 The appliances shown here are Turntable Ladders (TLs). The only kind of aerial in London is a TL now, the ALPs were aging and were retired. Unfortunately no new ALPs were introduced.
