Caernarfon house fire

Yes nobody was injured but the contents was a total loss.

So glad everyone was rescued by your police but very sorry for homeowners' loss of their home. We had a tour of Caernarfon just about one year ago although I'm sure we didn't see this particular house. The fact that we were so recently there made the impact greater because Caenarfon and everyplace we visited in Wales is lovely. Just wish the economy could get better for folks there.

Have to say very well done to the police for rushing in and rescuing the neighbours' very brave thing to do. And to the girl who was on the phone to her mum, I don't think you'd be laughing if it was your house!!!

In 1997 my neighbours house suffered a fire and my neighbour, Eleanor Cook, to the other side of me was caught laughing and joking about it on a camcorder recording of the event. She shouted to her husband, Alan, "go get some tetties Alan and we'll do some baked tetties". Next day I overheard her saying to Ronnie & Cathy how sad and upsetting it was to her family watching their home go up in flames. Some people are multi-faced and basically evil.

How come it took the fire brigade so long to arrive and put water on the fire ? I mean it’s 8:24 in the video but the house is already well alight as the video footage begins, so the fire brigade must have been called before the footage starts, which means they took even longer to arrive !

[@cwmbc]

The only local fire stations are volunteers. They take time to get to the station. Then turn out. Theres few fully manned stations located in bigger towns and cities. This isnt new york where 30 engines turn out for an e bike fire. This is the real world.

[@throttlegalsmagazineaustra7361]

[@elisj80]

The crew of the station were oncall at the time so they were at home etc, they have to respond to the station in 5 minutes and then get changed and get out on the appliance to the job. the station is only manned 12-10pm

[@adjo82]

3 to 5 minutes from time of call the West Mids fire service achieve, the bonus of a urban are I suppose. You'd be dead if you was trapped in that house, 8 mins before first appliance and thats from start of recording and not from start of fire. Possibly retained firefighters so it can take upto 5 minutes for them to leave station.

[@GhosthunterWales]

Thanks for watching and commenting. You are absolutely correct, the tenant of the property was upstairs when the fire broke out and made it down the stairs and out of the door only seconds before the landing was consumed by the fire, so yes had she have counting on rescue by the fire service they would have been too late. I will however point out that had the outcome been different I would not have uploaded the video, thankfully everybody was fine, property can be replaced, lives cant.

Probably an “on-call” station that isn’t crewed full time, which is common place in the UK. Firefighters alerted by pager, respond to the station from home or workplace, that can take 5-6mins, don PPE and turnout.

[@CDB8939]

@@beckytwister01 The Fire Station at Caernarfon is Day Crewed between Midday & 10pm and On Call the rest of the time, as the fire occurred at 9.30am on a Sunday it would have been the On Call crew attending, they have to paged in from Home or Work and travel to the station, get kitted up and then drive to the incident. They have 5 minutes to turn out from the time they are called so really they were there quite quickly.

[@brettturner1824]

Some people don’t understand the on call firefighter situation. On call firefighters respond via a pager which alerts them to get to the station can take five mins to get to station depending on traffic then don PPE and leave. It’s just as frustrating for the firefighters who want to get there quicker.
