Wow! Amazing footage!

[@380Scania]

Only thing I can think is that it was decided to call a major incident with External fire, ambulance and police at scene

[@jeffchandler7662]

They will have gone to their emergency action plan for this as it’s classed as a full emergency and not a local standby

[@john8033]

but why surely the fire engines at the airport can cope otherwise there is a serious lack of provision surely

[@GeorgeThoughts]

Oof you could tell that plane was full of fuel, that was a pretty heavy landing! Interesting that they come to a full stop on the runway to allow fire crews to check them, they don't even exit the runway and then stop. I suppose the idea being to check the engine ASAP as you don't want it to catch fire at the gate.

[@shaunobrien534]

Why do normal fire engines from local stations respond to aircraft at the airport? Surely this is for the airport fire brigade isn't it?

[@fireresponsetv]

To assist the airport fire service

[@shaunobrien534]

@@fireresponsetv Ahh right, I never knew that happened. I always thought airport fire brigades were more than capable without the need for the local brigade. Cheers👍🏻

[@vincentlugthart4618]

They might assist if it’s a big incident but you’ll have noticed that only airport fire service engines actually attended the aircraft

[@ethanch3011]

They act as backup firefighters/relief crews for full scale emergencies such as fires and crash landings

[@paulandjelkovich9224]

The fire chief for Manchester fire can overrule the airfield firefighters if deemed to be a major issue.

[@firefighterleetiktok85]

Wowzer... seems so overkill with the added Airport FRS - before attacks happen I'm full time Firefighter and often get called to Farnborough as it's on my patch but nowhere near the amount of pumps, police and ambo the JET2 gets.

[@fireresponsetv]

The PDA varies throughout each service. The PDA in gmc is 4 pumps command unit and TRU. it usually gets the HART team aswell most times.

[@firefighterleetiktok85]

@@fireresponsetv 4 Pumps is the same with us plus the few extra's like a water carrier, 1 ambo and then HART, law to their own where and when they go LOL 9/10 the aircraft has landed by the time we turn out or arrive on field, we literally do a big circle. to the RVP.

[@SuperBarnaby12]

Yes, total overkill. What a waste of resources. Airport fire could handle any emergencies without all that lot.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

they take less emergency vehicles to a real emergency landing than they would show up with at ICAO fire and rescue drills at airports here in Germany

[@oliverterry7778]

German frs is very different to England, you will never see the convoys here that you see in Germany. Germany seem to have a lot more resources overall compared to some services in the uk.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

@@oliverterry7778 even at normal scale drills German departments roll out with lots of units; Largest drill however was in an entirely different dimension: scenario was a crash of 2 planes, resulting in 500 patients; They had more than 400 emergency vehicles with a manpower of 1500 responding to a drill, while keeping up business as usual and covered local emergencies at both the airport and the city at the same time

[@MRCAGR1]

5:04 and the earlier HART blue lights. They should have stayed back as at least two cars went over the stop line when the lights were red. The fact that an emergency vehicle was coming behind them with blues is not a defence. East Midlands Ambulance Service are told specifically to wait for green lights if there’s a queue of traffic that they cannot pass. There are red light cameras in parts of Leicester where drivers have been prosecuted and the fact there’s an emergency vehicle behind them that they crossed the stop line was not a defence.

[@1947dave]

Yes but you may be able to successfully appeal a penalty if it's a minor transgression putting no-one at risk, especially if you have video evidence to support your case. No guarantees here but plenty of such appeals have succeeded in the past.

[@MRCAGR1]

@@1947dave unfortunately in Leicester they don’t take that into account under any circumstances.

[@johnabbott2575]

Yeah well I for one would rather get a fine and let fire or ambulance pass on blue lights than make them wait 2 vital minutes and people may die stupid authoritie rule

[@1947dave]

@@MRCAGR1 In that case, the citizens of Leicester should be getting together to challenge that policy - by way of the media if necessary. Commonsense (EDIT 'public interest') seems to have gone missing from whoever decided such an inflexible policy.

[@MRCAGR1]

@@1947dave alternatively we could do as they do in the states and have a device to switch red lights to green on approach to the junction. To be honest, even for blue light ambulances travelling to hospital the slight delays if they’re caught in traffic won’t impact too much on their patients. From the outskirts of Leicester to the hospital there are 25 sets of lights including pelican crossings, I know because I counted them on my way into work in A&E some 10 years ago.

[@joshtaylor2594]

Hi 👋 what a fantastic 👏 video 📹 to watch Thank you 😊

[@robertdrinkall8947]

Look's like they'll have big trouble getting those Fire Engines down for a safe landing!

[@jamesmasztalerz5930]

Must have been something major for Airport fire brigade to request additional support from local stations

[@bobradamus]

Nice work on the video mate, great to do the collab 👍🏻

[@TIMBOWERMAN]

Fire tenders were prominent at the airport, I saw one fire engine and half a dozen fire tenders which are faster and more powerful. 10:43

[@Trevor_Austin]

his was an abnormal situation. One where I suggest that after the checklist/s have been run the aircraft could arrive at a convenient base for passenger handling, aircraft maintenance, crew rotation and passenger care. If you are over Norfolk with a real emergency you have Stansted, Heathrow, Southend, Gatwick, Birmingham, Humberside and East Midlands (not Leeds) all closer. But the crew chose to fly to Manchester. Airports don’t work like that though. They will turn any drama into a crisis if for no other reason that airliners are so reliable and their systems so robust they don’t get to push the big red button very often. So given an abnormal situation, they’ll kick the arse of it and escalate it into an emergency. They also just love playing the “you can never be too careful” routine and would have had important people (PR people, Airport Spokeswoman, DEI manager, Director of Lived experience etc.) called in with their clipboards and brand new, sparkling HiViz jackets to tell everyone how an an impending catastrophe was only averted by their highly trained emergency handling teams. Meanwhile the crew did as they had been trained. I bet they were in the descent over Derby thinking that this was easier than being in the simulator. Meanwhile, the airport staff would have had to have had the next week off because of emotional stress, soiled underwear, PTSD, etc.

[@elrekplaysgames4701]

so does that mean Manchester Airport does not have its own fire units?

[@fireresponsetv]

They do, although neighbouring services provide support

[@paulclark9835]

All airports have own fire service however if captain requests full emergency with outside resources then he calls it in. If he doesn't think it warrants full emergency then it is stood down to airport services only. It also goes with type of mayday call. Could be medical or fire on board or faulty readings. There are alot of factors to take into account. Giving this was a heavy fuel landing then common sense prevails that it's a full emergency.

[@Chris-hy6jy]

Are you sure this wasn't just a training exercise? Planes make emergency landings at Manchester quite often and I can't imagine they have all these vehicles on standby each time, not at the airport.

[@fireresponsetv]

This was not a exercise. The pre determined attendance for a incident with a aircraft is quite large.

[@Chris-hy6jy]

@@fireresponsetv so you're saying every time an aircraft squarks 7700 and lands at Manchester, all those emergency vehicles turn up? Surely not.

[@fireresponsetv]

@Chris-hy6jy depends on the problem with the plane, if it a medical it will not but for anything technical it will

[@Chris-hy6jy]

@@fireresponsetv yes I guess it probably depends on the issue reported by the pilot and the chance of an actual "crash landing". I listen to Manchester ATC quite a lot and emergency landings probably happen at least once a week. Most are technical issues and I'd be surprised if all those vehicles were called for each. Maybe there was something specific about this landing that required the extra response. Hopefully someone will chime in with what the emergency was 👍

[@lightningpete]

@@Chris-hy6jy Youd be suprised Chris. Former NEAS here. Most of the issues we got given ETHANE messages for them. Newcastle Airport was a minimum of 6 NEAS resources [doesnt matter the resource] sometimes HART showed up if they were bored. Although generally the Airport Police -=manned by the Areas normal Police forces, would usually deal with it themselves Fire would generally have sufficient at the airport but command units and a spare pump travelled

[@benwalmsley7607]

Is there any difference between the Rochdale ICU and the atherton ICU

No both run the same tech inside and are layed out almost identically. Rochdales is slightly more modern and a little bit bigger.

I always thought that big airports, and especially major ones like Manchester had the fire service to cover (potential) emergencies on site. It appears not. Worrying for passengers I guess but the owners will pocket the cash and be happy.

[@fireresponsetv]

There's emergency services based at Manchester airport including 2 fire stations. GMFRS provide added support

[@todmick]

I was thinking the same.

​@fireresponsetv GMFRS will also have primacy with Incident Command.
