Clare Retained Fire Crew Turning Out

[@robwhitton7399]

This is a true reflection of how most of the fire service is run,did retained for 36 years,loved the job but have to say the poor relation to whole time,with poor stns and facilities and appliance hand me downs,work and serve in the town and drop everything to respond then back to there main job,a far cost effective service run a lot on goodwill and dedication, I salute you all stay safe

[@Dodgey884]

Great vid mate, the true meaning of Retained responding is in this.

[@phil4350]

Very nice video! Not very often you get to see the firefighters still pulling in

[@CymruEmergencyResponder]

Wonderful video!! Lovely little station!

[@CobraEmergency]

Aha nicely caught - love the way they all turn up. What a station heh! Everyone drives in there, opens the doors! Like going back in time. How did you know retained got a shout?

[@nickcowley4942]

How can you say that was a slow turn out 2 minutes and thirty three sec that is real quick for an on call station

[@Biffo1262]

Nick Cowley turn out time is recorded from time of call NOT the start of a KZbin video!!!!

[@ollielockwood2630]

@@Biffo1262 my dad is an on call firefighter, he always says it is supposed to be between 4-7 minutes turnout time

Well, that little kid will now have some permanent hearing loss.

Why do they keep their appliance in a cattle shed? :-)

[@patrickperry8951]

It's called repurposing a building

[@briantheminer]

Some places have to go with what they have

[@ht5681]

There can't be many stations where the appliance costs more than the building! :-)

[@Irish-Transport-Photography]

Being Irish I saw the reg, I was like wait that aint an Irish reg, then I saw it was suffolk and realised, OHHHHHH this is not the County clare in Ireland, still a great vid though.

[@seqemergencyvehicles]

And who shut the garage door?

[@greghone6421]

Do they take the pump out , when they milk the cows in that shed lol ?????

[@arnierckus1094]

That’s a cool looking station

[@richardwani2803]

It doesn't look like a fire station it just looks a garage lol

[@josh35639]

and? does it work? do they save lives? yes. what's your point lmao

[@richardwani2803]

@@josh35639 it looks like a garage no point just an observation no need to be aggressive it's just my opinion chill

[@staffsemergresp]

Those doors!

[@chevy790]

what town or village is this firestation located in co clare?-it badly needs upgraded but the way the economy is in south it will probably never happen---bundoran and ballyshannon both promised new station buildings 3 years ago never happened---no money

[@SirMrShanks]

Didn't you realise it wasn't down south when you seen all the UK number plates?

[@nevillemason6791]

@@SirMrShanks Not to mention on the side of the appliance at 2:14 it says in big letters: 'SUFFOLK FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE' !

[@Dragonballguy270]

Geez time for a station upgrade!!

[@1_foxtrot_012]

Darren van Ek I was thinking the same thing but the town is probably small so it only needs one appliance

i hope no one was waiting to be rescued from a burning building. .. so slow to turn out..

[@Dragonballguy270]

Paul Pinn given it's an on call station and they come from home that was pretty quick

[@Challis1989]

@@leobruce7196 depends how far away there are my station in Ayrshire there's 8 stations closer to us than the nearest wholetime ststion 😂

[@neildahlgaard-sigsworth3819]

Paul Pinn the response time is dictated by the fire risk. Clare, and the surrounding area will be Class D and thus the 1st pump needs to be at the fire within 20 minutes of the call being raised on at least 75% of occasions. Retained fire fighters need to be IIRC within 5 minutes of their station at all times when booked as available.

[@oisinbuckley7436]

@@Challis1989 Was just thinking that 😂 I'm on an island chain with five retained stations. Nearest wholetime is 120 miles plus a ferry crossing away. Anyway, who needs wholetime? We all do the same training 😂
