[@archieemergencyvehicles2329]

Love how if the crews are from liverpool and lancashire they will still drive that 3 hour drive to get there

[@Alyster_FutureBiker]

Not to mention some of the HART vehicles coming from manchester

[@cumbriafirephotos]

Excellent video mate. Gutted I couldn’t get there.

[@joshtaylor2594]

Many thanks

[@HarryHarwood-j7r]

Lucky to be on scene when it happened! Great video mate. Also how did you get the HART callsigns?

[@FirePhotos]

Thank you, The HART callsigns are displayed on the vehicles.

[@HarryHarwood-j7r]

@FirePhotos Thanks, I know where I am they are displayed on some vehicles but I wasn't sure about your area :)

[@CobraEmergency]

Ooh, firefighting robot. Would be good to see that at work. Good of you to be there to cover an interesting story. I think you can see the soot above the hangar doors?

[@yorkshire9998]

Great video Ben!

Thanks!

[@benwalmsley7607]

How many pumps was it? And specials?

[@FirePhotos]

15 pumps and 4 specials according to social media.

[@EdwardWalker-j4p]

What a brilliant vid

[@FirePhotos]

Cheers mate!

[@jld9107]

Attendance list? Does this place have its own fire service?

[@jakelawes542]

Yeah I live locally to it, has its own fire service through Securitas I think they only have 1/2 appliances though never seen more than that. I believe they're based on Walney airfield as that's part of Bae Systems as well

[@jld9107]

@ cheers

[@FirePhotos]

Yes it has its own fire service, they only have 2 pumps on site though. As far as I’m aware the incident was 15 pumps and 4 specials with appliances being pulled in from many north Lancashire stations.

[@jld9107]

@@FirePhotos cheers Any ideas on attendance list?

[@karlbarrow9103]

​@@jakelawes542it has it own whole time fire service based on site BAEFRS

[@JimWhitaker]

I wonder if that is Agamemnon going to be delayed?

[@Lisa-Azra_Broad]

I hope it is cancelled and the money redirected to the health, social and emergency services along with education

[@BucksBlueLightVids]

Nice video, how did you find out it was ongoing considering it was the middle of the night.

[@Northwestfirephotos]

It’s a COMAH sight on fire, I would be very suprised if people DIDNT know about it!

[@yorkshire9998]

The power of current social media influence mate..

[@yorkshire9998]

@@NorthwestfirephotosJackie from down the road whose in her 80's probs didn't find out on it till the daily mail came out

[@Northwestfirephotos]

@@yorkshire9998 probably cuz she was asleep.

[@FirePhotos]

Thanks!

[@Dandeano]

Nice to see most crews using common sense with no sirens in the middle of the night

[@davideddy5877]

I know that is the logical reason why most units did not use their sirens but with this particular site, is there another reason such as causing panic with theneighbours?

[@dougaltolan3017]

​@@davideddy5877it's a shipyard, why panic?

[@Scorpion-jv7pc]

@@davideddy5877 Well, that could definitely also be something they took into consideration. That being said, its very common practice in Europe, not to use sirens at night. Theres rarely a need for it, the only thing we get out of it is waking people up. I know my own country has a switch, for a ''night-siren'' which is a siren that isnt as loud as the regular one, but still warns vehicles and other people in the traffic.

[@redstihl9027]

Yes lad 🎉

[@jld9107]

No closer HART? Nothing in Carlisle etc?

[@FirePhotos]

Unfortunately NWAS have HART teams in Manchester and Liverpool only.

It's a good job to build the yard next to loads of water.

[@glenthomson8193]

That will in the van left pulling over a bit late

[@emmamannn4318]

Surprised the Russians haven't been blamed for it

[@Lancashire999]

I blame N. Korea

[@dougaltolan3017]

That would be admitting that they have some competence.

[@stephenB-yq9kw]

My friend dog watching it he needs a job 😊

Lol.. The most radioactive component there is a smoke detector. But, if you'd gone back 40~50 years, that title woukd have gone to the luminous hands on the night watchman's alarm clock.
