Tour - London Fire Brigade Control Room

Fancy a tour around our Control Room. This is one of the most important buildings for London Fire Brigade, our control room operators cover the emergency 999 calls of London's 33 Boroughs.

To be a fly on the wall and look at the operations and listen in on the calls for a day or so would be an experience to remember

Like air traffic control room without the tower.

[@peterallen2904]

A lot different from the old control room at Lambeth when I was in the job.

[@LewisCroden]

I remember when they'd show it in London's Burning now and again. Fascinating!

[@frankmitchell1530]

Yes, I remember old Lambeth as well. Visited a number of times but would never had liked to work there.

[@ejslondontech]

Thank you! Really enjoyed this tour. Is this just the control room for London or is it global?

[@BucksBlueLightVids]

It's just for London but they can work with other control rooms around the country

I applied twice for the position of Control Room Officer, and I was rejected both times :( I dont know how else to apply, I would absolutely love to do this :(

Remember seeing what I presume was a set on Londons Burning how dated and old fashioned it looks now like moving things around on boards on the wall with lights and stuff to symbolise the stations and which appliances are there now its a big screen and pcs

[@BucksBlueLightVids]

No that was the real control room used back at Lambeth Fire Station

[@bencoatesworth7731]

@@BucksBlueLightVids is it still there then like as a museum or something cos obviously the one in the video is a new building

[@BucksBlueLightVids]

@Ben Coatesworth No it's just an empty room.

[@bencoatesworth7731]

@@BucksBlueLightVids shame. Would have been a good thing to go visit. They could have it for schools an stuff to go learn about not just firefighters but emergency call handling behind the scenes. Maybe have a go at stuff

Amidst the residual concerns of crack cocaine & other substances cultivation systems and the continuously excessive use of many multiple webcam & device usages, there is a worrying pungent smell of electrical wire burning that accompanies an almost continuous tangible buzzing humming vibration that seems as though it is affecting multiple residential dwellings both sides of the geographic adjoining of 43 Vining Street London SW9 & 48 Rushcroft Rd London SW2. The many years of Human Trafficking & the videoing of child pornography are non secretive. There was an electrical safety test completed last month where the Electrician did not venture into the bathroom where the electrical extractor vent is emitting the equivalent of tunneled sediment into the enclosed environment instead of extracting the heated moist air. The vibrations affecting the entire environment of this independent one bedroom dwelling is similar to the vibration that would exist where a tube train system was directly beneath a residential premises or a few metres next to a busy airport flight path runway. It seems as though the vibration source could be affecting the electrical wiring of both sets of residential blocks of flats. Sequential to the use of these premises as the Harbour of Human Traffic & abuse of substances & creation of sexual exploitation imagery pre dissemination via area networks, there is a years old level of uselessness of attempts of engaging Housing Management services in attempts of resolution of concerns associated with years of ponzi scheme pyramids of multi layer pyramid recruitment. Most of the visible evidence locally suggests an obvious substance abuse & cultivation system that has been ignored from reports multiple times. The fire risk indicators are excessively obvious from the local pedestrian path adjoining Rushcroft Rd & Atlantic Road. These were reported to the London Fire Brigade though have not yet received the improvements they professionally require. As an advocate of the sayings 'You're either part of the problem or part of the solution' and 'enabling is tantamount to facilitating the crime', this alert is my way of ensuring my own conscience tells me I'm part of the solution. Which one are you? Many thanks from your interests in these concerns. Kind respects, Theresa McCaffery 3rd Sector Advocate & Consultant in Advanced Employment Health & Safety. This alert is here, sequential to the fault of the London Fire Brigade website that is presently not accepting messages. Thank you

So what has this got to do with the control room? Go preach somewhere else and let people enjoy these wonderful experiences behind the scenes of the LFB.

Electrical circuitry being shaken, overloads with digital devices and other fiew safety hazards internally & externally shouldn't continue being ignored. This vicinity has already had too many major fire investigations from very similar circumstances. Being able to ignore the hazards may seem amusing yet the London Fire Brigade's Health & Safety Policy implements each relevant other piece of Statute specific to the situation such as the Modern Slavery Statute & the revised Guidance. Try & understand that Fire Safety is more than just polishing the bells on the trucks. It is with the purpose of at least trying to save & protect lives. Save your 'enabling' the unethical, unprofessional & potentially culpable comments to people who won't follow up with Negligence claims.
