That was some amazing reporting. For starters, the reporter knows the difference between an a380 and a 747.

[@Johny40Se7en]

Brilliant video. Firefighters are wicked, doing such a dangerous and meaningful job, fair play. That stinger looks like something from Mad Max, looks like it's designed to kill, but designed to save. That VR thing at the end is a great tool.

[@MaryParle]

Excellent production BBC Click! Thanks for providing background stories on the latest technology being used to fighting fires. Interesting to learn about a British based fire fighting training sustainable center for first responder teams from around the world in learning how to utilize new technology combined with skills and techniques for fighting fires where no two are alike!!!

[@SuperMegaSammy]

That hydraulic stick with super water jets coming out its pretty good idea!

[@KasunGayantha]

the best tech show ... i watching it in every weekend 😎👍🏻📺

[@faizanahmad8916]

One of the most techy show on planet...

[@1MRTS]

The International Fire Training Centre can have all sorts of scenarios but the one thing they can't simulate is the bushfires/wildfires. I know because I've experienced a major firestorm in 2003 and is a member of a Fire & Rescue unit here in Australia. Fire conditions with 40°C-45°C temps, low humidity, high fuel loads/vegetation, extreme winds, tremendous heat - these are just a few of things that the UK don't have. And also every country is different. Climate change is also making it more harder to fight wildfires - Just recently a former fire commissioner from Sydney made a report slamming politicians for their inaction into climate change.

[@arieleliasov]

amazing clip

[@ThinkHuman]

Great episode as always, but disappointing to see you still had to reference Elon Musk trying cannabis as if he was some kind of a crazed, out of control drug fiend. The podcast that the picture was from was 2 hours long where they talked about a lot of ideas, at one point the host offered him a puff and Elon held it in his hand and took a minuscule puff without even inhaling. No one talks about how they discussed the future of out planet, technology and the human condition and how we should try to understand and love each other more. Shame on you for not being able to resist sensationalist clickbait.

[@Kyle_Hubbard]

To be fair I don't know what you expected from the BBC. I'm not a lover of the devils lettuce nor do I particularly like the smell but it's not anywhere near as bad or whatever other shit people like to make out about it. Personally I learnt a lot about the stuff and I can see the positives hemp and a good 90% of hemp is purely positives. Heroine, Coke, Crack and the like are a whole different subject. I think people who watch the BBC should take what they say, do & show with a pinch of salt because it seems to me in my opinion that the BBC is being run by a bunch of morons.

[@aldiacondarlene2826]

Nice Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you considered - Rozardner Lucky Interview Reality (do a google search)? It is a good one off guide for firefighter interview tips without the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical results with it.

Dylan Chen firefighter here. Do good in school and follow the dream. You’ll absolutely make it if you keep your head high and your future in your sights. Check with your local department and see if they have any programs you could join! Getting involved and learning what you can will help tremendously with your path to become a firefighter!

[@jw045]

Kangaroo Airsoft I’m 16 but haven’t been to fire cadets. Does that matter?

[@kangarooairsoft4376]

J1mmy W4tto That shouldn’t be a problem, I became a firman at 18 with no prior experience or knowledge of firefighting and I was accepted. You should be fine as long as its what you really want to do!

He is a strong willed man indeed, not easy coping with that? I wish someone would give him some new tech artificial arms with feed back hands and legs, He would be better able to enjoy life more! Hope he does get them?

[@sunitadwarka347]

Respected sir, I was just meditating on jungle fire , The tree fire is very very long, I was thinking if we use bow and arrow to cut hot red tree, our position should be in very smart way. Burning tree should fall on ground and this is best way to stop spreading of fire by wind . Then we have to use less water, We need people or artificial intelligence to cut the burning object , so that fire shrink and object do not have more access to oxygen. Namh shivay.

[@sunitadwarka347]

We must experiment with dust method, where ever we don't have access to water, machine must dig the earth and spread dust in atmosphere , So that we can have less oxygen in atmosphere. We must experiment different method. Namh shivay.

[@sunitadwarka347]

I have watched your video carefully. I have suggestions can we used sand with water . First benifit will be sand have capacity to hold water. Second supposed fire is caught in 10 ×10 meter area, and if we mix 10 or 20%of sand with water.These sand can cover 10 or 20 % area of fire . This process can reduce intensity of fire. We must experiment this. Another choice is, we must mix clay with water and experiment. The main part is ,we must reduce Oxygen content of water to reduce intensity of fire. If sand and clay is difficult to obtain in some areas, can we use gutter water . The gutter water have less oxygen content.The water should be muddy with less oxygen content to block the fire. Namh shivay.

[@sunitadwarka347]

Respected sir. I have watched your machine of jet with 1000 liter water. Can we break the wall and introduce fine clay dust inside the room to block the fire. We can make machine to dig earth and pump fine dust in burning room. create strome of dust to reduce intensity of fire. Please try. Namh shivay.

[@sunitadwarka347]

sir, I was thinking of giant machine and its cost, My suggestion is if we take giant ballon we fill 1/4 with very fine clay and with air or fume , now with giant machine we introduce it close chamber of burning room, At end machine must have closing lid to block the hole of wall, so whats so ever hole is done by machine is closed, and room doesn't have access to oxygen, This will cost effective in case of house fire. From out side we either use water or we build giant fan , wind also have capacity to block fire, If air is in giant pressure , we can block the fire moving from one floor to another or one building to nearby bulding. Our holy guru Shankaracharya says , wind have capacity to block the fire as well as to increase the fire. We must think of giant fan to block the spreading of fire specially in building and fire on road or in train. We must use cost effective and different method to block the fire. So lets us try balloon method and giant fan method, Ballon we can hang on top or side of fire brigade and gaint fan can work on patrol. Namh shivay.

pls make videos in 4k..

Ive had 6 Bong hits and i dint notice that the presenter was disabled for most of the video. The content he was presenting was more interesting. Seeing the comments I think that .... you people should try my weed!

[@johncovered311]

Fire prevention still better than fire fighting. Make fire lines beforehand thru the responsible forest management. Fireproofing high risk environment, ship, aircrafts, building and wood houses.

[@ember_shep8181]

@@Shontaku fire proofing doesn't mean fire *proof*. Smoke alarms are considered fire prevention.

[@johncovered311]

Just saying there is always a better way of doing things. Just open your heart and mind. Fireproofing materials will become cheaper if done in industrial scale. It is also a new market who knows you can be the next billionaire out of this. Good luck!!! Your market is the world.

May God provide intellectual, physical and spiritual power and strength to the fire fighter department team-the fire fighter officers, vehicle maintenance group, call center team n overall team. May God empower and bless you all and ur family for the noble work of saving lives while risking one's life and forest fire safety through fire helicopters. Salute to every firefighter!! Amen!!........

[@bobbelsekwol]

My fire service could only just afford gloves. And chose the cheapest helmet and B A set. So employing this kind of technology is a joke.

[@H4N5O1O]

would help greatly if building industry pulled its head out its ass and stop using flammable shit in homes and innovate better ways ie using shipping yards to mould homes.

[@johnpalomo6671]

Fire *Apparatus

[@DunnickFayuro]

Water, foam, powder... Seems pretty 19th century to me as to how to put out a fire. I thought the video was about the future...What happened to this electric firefighting technology? What about using sound waves to supress oxygen? And using missiles to stop a forest fire? Where were those Dubai jetpack wearing firefighters? THAT is the FUTURE.

[@ember_shep8181]

No. That is fantasy. There is a major difference between plausible future and possible future. Sure That could come around in about 100 years time, but we are no where near as advanced as that. Missles to stop a forest fire? Fully automated systems? How much are you going to throw at computers to solve our problems. We work with computers, not below them. That is what this video shows.

[@DunnickFayuro]

@Sarge_m16 All of this actually exists already. I would have like BBC Click to cover it so people like you learn about it.

[@patricksheridan9472]

Stop that lmfao. Fires are put out with water. No amount of tech will, or even can, ever change that.

[@DunnickFayuro]

@Patrick Sheridan Two minutes of research on KZbin/Google would have prevented you from sounding so dumb/narrow minded. But since typing a research seems too hard, I've done it for you.Electric fire extinguisher: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqjbpKWBaMd5qc0 and spectrum.ieee.org/energy/fossil-fuels/fighting-fire-with-electricity Using missiles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJqaeJ2LipKgr5o and kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJeUaXiQj6ZmibM

[@DunnickFayuro]

@@breaded5328 The proof of concept was 7 years ago. DARPA got involved in this research. I would have like to know if there has been any development since then. That's, I think, part of the mission of a series like BBC Click. At the speed at wich we develop our understanding of plasmas, thanks to research in fusion energy, I might guess that maybe there is a way to put out a fire with less energy.
