Why have you tagged a post about your beef with TVP to a video of the F&R Service? Do you not realise the difference? F&R are not going to search your hoodie, neither do they have any power of arrest. They do not light the fires, or cause the RTC's. But they will come to your aide if you are unfortunate enough to need them. Right there is the difference between you and them. Most Stations will be more than happy to show you around if you organise it (a lot of Stations are 'Retained', so therefore not manned 24hrs). But the question still stands. Why are you tagging this to a F&R Service post? Don't judge all uniforms the same. What is it that you not like about F&R?

That’s not to say the fire crew won’t let you in to look around if you organise a visit. They’d be more than happy to do that. But with cutting jaw machinery and compressed gases around, it’s not safe for you to just walk in unannounced. For all the negativity about public uniform in AB’s channel, remember that the fire service have no power of arrest. They will not search your hoodie, nor judge your public behaviour.

@Brett Reynolds A "pedantic bafoon" that saves lives every day of the week. You may not like their response to the bothersome and frankly idiotic position AB has put forward. But these men and women will still be there night and day despite the camera. They put themselves forward to put out house fires to save lives. To cut people out of RTCs, to save lives. To educate the wider community in fire prevention, to save lives.. Now, can you say you do any of that? Nah, I didn’t think so. Keep collecting the social security and tapping on the keyboard.

[@kelvynmoore4882]

@Brett Reynolds If you know and understand what their job is, and equally really understand what it takes to achieve it, then you wouldn't be posting the reply. Most people understand that PINAC is not a crime. If you want to educate yourself, your local F&R is probably looking for volunteers. Following training, you might just rescue a child from that house fire. Or that person from the RTC. How is that a bad thing? It takes minerals to step up and serve. To be spat at from those that you could be helping the very next day. It's got nothing to do with pointing a weak arse camera at people. Stand for something fella, or you fall for anything.

[@kelvynmoore4882]

Brett Reynolds Firstly, lets hope you never need to call on these people for help. But if you do, I hope the firefighter that comes to your aide remembers their manners while everything around you is burning. Why don’t you visit your local Station to see if they need volunteers? Then you can discuss your issue with them and learn new skills at the same time. Better to point these things out when you’re in their boots rather than hurling abuse via the keyboard. It’s easy to be abusive and tap away with a beer in your hand. It takes much more to step up and make a difference.

He seemed a decent enough chappy to be honest, he never objected to you filming as he likely knows you're within your rights, but some random guy turning up filming wasn't what he thought he'd see today. I always like to see think from the others perspective, how would you like it if a random guy turned up outside your house and was sat on the grass filming your front door..?

Those wrecked cars out back are given to the fire brigade by scrapyards to train on. I lived next to a fire and ambulance station for many years and have sat and watched them training like this. Also living next door to it I've been inside it many times and there really isn't much to see. Well maybe the top floor bar so the can use the pole after a few pints lmao That being said they do have a lot of sensitive equipment inside and can be running around at a moments notice so having people freely walking around the place can be rather bad, as they may get knocked over (by rushing firefighters or a fire engine).

Idiots are everywhere, let's be honest

[@Able60]

I was in the LFB in 1973 and this shocks me. This is a direct example for me in the real world of how the worlds controllers have turned us against each other. In my day it would have been totally different because we welcomed any contact with the public. Usually we only saw them when they needed help. The station officer would give permission for us to show people the fire engine bay unless there was something going on and we were glad to do it. Friendly? Yes, he was but guarded at the same time in a way that doesn't fit how I remember firemen to be. his attitude, to me, was more like a friendly copper.

[@Noodle999]

No public at all on most fire stations when this was filmed, due to Covid. Not even any of the community groups etc. that we normally welcome with open arms. Mike was probably thinking why does this guy get to look around without an appointment, when I can't even invite a school group in currently.

[@chrish9164]

Marlon Everingron - I read the comment section before seeing the end of the video, so I was a bit disappointed in AB, because it did see that the fireman was decent and pleasant. But when I heard the end bit, I actually think AB said.., "he did".., as opposed to "idiot"...

[@johnvarley4561]

He did say "he did" but AB still looks like a bit silly here. I don't like when auditors purposefully try to antagonise to get a reaction. Bad form.

[@ineedue]

I don’t think he was ‘really nice’ though. There was a 10 minutes argument of Mike trying to correct AB... Mike says “I’m in charge here, I will approach who I want” Final Thought: Really AB shouldn’t have to tell anyone why he is filming. It’s the authority and power that comes out of people that makes these confrontation/videos so popular. Try and think about this situation happening to you. Would you go outside of your workplace to approach someone? If so: what would your demeanour be like and how would you ask your questions.

Bit different somebody’s home. But they do get audited by the council to ensure that the person living there is looking after the public’s building that they are being loaned. They are never allowed to forget it’s not there property, don’t you worry about that.

[@bigsiip]

@@gooders8855 its different only in the sense of what's going on in the building. Legally a fire station is not a public building and therefore the public cannot demand access. It would be nice if they granted it, but they don't have to. Same as a council house. Im not arguing against you on the point that the service they provide community is different, I am only speaking from a legal point of view.

Fireman was on point and your brave to still post this video. Also they are busy enough, i personally don't think they have time to walk single members of the public around. If a random person walks around they could tamper with anything, at cost of life to firemen and public alike. Thumbs up to posting yourself backed into a corner, your usually better composed.

[@Noodle999]

No public at all on most fire stations when this was filmed, due to Covid. Not even the community groups we normally welcome with open arms. But yes it's highly unusual for one single individual to ask (with zero notice) to look round. We are expected to have written risk assessments in place to cover all visits and if a member of the public gets injured, we may be held responsible. At the time this was filmed there were written risk assessments stating that public were not permitted on the premises at all.
