This video covers the Oxford Street East Fire in Ashton-Under-Lyne. On our arrival, it was a ten pump job. As the fire progressed through the night, it was made up to 18. We spent a good 15 hours on scene of the incident gathering as much footage as possible. We left the scene at 11AM on the 7th. Crews are currently dampening the area down before the stop message is placed. Thank you to all the services that came to the scene to help. It was a pleasure meeting and talking to people who follow us.

Six minutes in and little to no water is being put on the fire. A great deal of officers/officials having a group huddle, plenty of equipment sitting idle, plenty of ladder truck not set up. This kind of fire fighting drives me nuts. You can clearly see how much the fire has grown, yes but we need to have a meeting to discuss our strategy again before we can put water on the fire. Meanwhile the building is burning down. great job guys.

Firefighting operations had already commenced. Ladders are not used in the same way as they are in the US. The US probably would have had firefighters walking about on the roof for literally no reason.

@@zyglo9826 I would argue that there are no situations in which walking around on a roof doing ventilation is appropriate. If you want to do vertical ventilation like you do (even though I’d suggest it is an outdated technique), then do it from the safety of a ladder with the appropriate SHACS gear being worn?

It was an ambulance crew talking to the fire and police senior officers. They were probably discussing whether additional medics needed to be brought in and whether hospitals needed to be put on alert. Any serious incident needs a lot of planning, for example fire engines will be brought in from a wide area, to deal with calls that may arise. If a house catches on fire somewhere in the area, you can't just say, "We are busy at the moment, call us tomorrow".

@wilsjane

@@zyglo9826A similar system is used here in the UK. Every county has it's own fire department, so most standby moves are made within the county. Most stations have 2 trucks, but depending on the type of call, sometimes only one will respond. If both are dispatched and the call is minor or a false alarm, the second truck will report 'mobile and available', it can then be redirected before it returns to base. In some situations, particularly during heavy traffic periods, one truck is dispatched from two stations, but this depends on distance. Systems do exist for standy moves across counties in event of a serious incident. UK building regulations, particularly the ban on roof lofts running between houses and apartments, along with hollow walls not running between floors, prevents the type of fires that we see in other countries. It is not uncommon for a night shift not to receive a single call, sometimes for an entire series of five night shifts. During the day, one truck from the station will often go out on inspections, mainly public buildings and houses in high social risk areas. Some counties will also fit domestic smoke alarms for elderly and vulnerable residents. Throughout the day, these trucks remain available to immediately respond to a call.

​@@zyglo9826 There are arrangements in place which are well documented and rehearsed. Bordering agencies will assist and send resources to help deal with the incident. For example the NHS can use a major incident standby to start making specialist resources available in local hospitals etc. before a major incident is even declared.

its because sometimes especially with huge fire like this one where the building is fully engulfed and has already started to collapse its more better to let it burn its self out while containing it and stop it spreading to nearby building as with a fire like this to try put it out would mean a lot of hoses and the more hoses connected to the hydrants you have the lesser the pressure through the hoses you have just like in your house if you turn your shower on then turn a tap on youl see a reduction in the water coming out of your shower same thing with hydrants and one question iv heard asked is why dont they then turn up the pumps on the fire engines well even if they turned then up to full power that still wouldnt do much good as they can only draw a certain amount of water out of a hydrant and that water has to be shared between each hose so one way to look at that is if you have two hoses and one litre of water in the main hose comeing from a bucket then have two hoses conected to that one main hose you will only have half a litre going through each hose as that one source is being shared by two

Spaß Trompete ..... Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service has no on-call firefighters - or very few of them. Neighbouring brigades do, but not sure if they responded to this fire. After all, I didn’t see any on this video. And I think the “heavy pumps” you refer to are the central government-owned high volume pumps tackling the dam incident in Whaley Bridge. Once deployed, it would be a logistical nightmare for any of them to pack up and redeploy at this fire. Were a HVP be required at this incident it would come from elsewhere.

shaun parkinson yes that is correct but most forces like the one I served on will try to avoid call the retaining services before 6pm if it can be help. In this case it seems they had everything sort of under control but decided through the night to get fully on top of it. And in the morning use the full time again to take out the hot spots. The main reason behind is that employees don’t like there staff run of every day there is just so much they accept and to reduce this problems the 6pm rule is in places in most force’s but only if that is possible, if it’s a huge incident and the full time resource are depleted or to many stations are empty yes than retain personal get also called before 6pm to ensure public safety and man a fire station or support directly at the incident the full time personal. This was like that 7 years ago and when I helped by the Moor fire 🔥 most on call staff arrived after 6pm for a few hours and than head back home get a bit of sleep and go to work. So the rule seems to be in place but I can’t tell because I had to leave the force and only can help when mayor incidents happen reason there area I moved to has no retain or community fire station.

True, UK firefighters don’t swagger about trying to look cool in their scruffy uniforms like US firefighters do, and true they don’t spend most of their time destroying the building they’re actually trying to save, and true, they believe that fire’s nemesis is water..... but that doesn’t stop fire departments from every corner of the planet from sending their fire officers to the indisputable finest fire service college on the planet, Morton-in-Marsh, to receive the best fire officer training there is. UK fire services are the finest there is, and there are many videos on KZbin showing just how “good” US fire departments are!
