Fire at Gorgie park close

[@Leguan-tj9uj]

A fire fighter extinguishing with a garden hose... Certainly the infamous British humor, I guess.

[@johanrebel]

Really smart to keep some leafy boughs between the camera and the action. And that first due engine parked in exactly the wrong spot.

Thanks buddy

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

Why did you stop the video so early?! There was far more going on, I’m sure.

[@gf.channel]

Sorry , I still have other footage on my phone , I will upload soon

Why leave that hose reel on 50lpm? Big water needed fast…

[@JB91710]

Too much editing to know how long that actually took or if it was only extinguished from the exterior.

Yikes, and all i ever see are people making fun of American fire trucks in the comment sections lmao

[@JB91710]

What's to make fun of here? It appears they extinguished the fire through the windows with one small line in a short amount of time and with minimum equipment.

[@cfl941]

@@JB91710 what would the game plan be if the fire was on the third or fourth floor? Second no one was ready to go inside, even with the hard cut in the video no one was even getting ready to go inside. On the right side of the video you can see some smoke coming out of the windows above a doorway, unsure about euro construction but it looks like a stair tower to me, which would suggest the apartment door is open, shooting water into a window like that will make that hallway extremely uncomfortable for any victims.

[@Perseus7567]

@@cfl941 You're basing this on what, 30 seconds of edited footage? Typically, Fire Engines in Edinburgh (nay, in most places) carry 6 firefighters. We only ever see 4 different firefighters in the video. So.. what do you think, were the other two abducted by aliens upon arrival or do you think maybe they went inside and/or are doing something behind the fire engine where we can't see? You can very obviously tell this is nothing like the US fire scenes, as ours actually got out and did something instead of just stand there and wait for 7 different chiefs to arrive. Just because you can't see two people doesn't mean they aren't there. Hell, even if there is only those 4 firefighters, at least the reason they didn't do things properly is because they didn't have enough people to do things properly, and not just because they couldn't be bothered.

[@cfl941]

@@Perseus7567 lmao a 4 man engine is more then capable to properly start an attack on this fire. I will admit i too, would be nervous if i was force to crawl down that hallway with a garden hose.

[@joelwhitaker2274]

@@cfl941 The fact that you call it a 'garden hose' tells me that you do not know what you are talking about. It is a high pressure hose reel, and they are more than capable of dealing with heavy fire loads. This fire was contained to the flat it started in and the resident was rescued by firefighters. The crew of the first arriving fire appliance did start an attack. That is exactly what this video shows.

[@willswheels283]

Hopefully nobody was hurt or worse.

[@MrTigger126]

Very agressive exterior attack there....cowards

[@JB91710]

They got it done quickly, safely and with a minimum of equipment and personnel and you think that they are cowards. Oh, you mean they should have risked their lives unnecessarily, so they looked more like USA heroes. I get it now.

No BA on arriving to a fire?

[@danny6825]

BA sets not in the crew cabs anymore. Not possible to arrive with it on.

[@vikingyaffa8346]

@@duffman5z Because of the clean cab policy im sure. At least the crew cab is clean of carcinogens and they can breath in that lovely toxic smoke because the BA sets arnt easily accessible.

US Fire Dept usually take 5-10 mins before getting hoses working. UK get job done in seconds.
