*VERY RARE* Retained crew + Water bowser Turn out

This video shows Torquay's Water Bowser V17W3 turning out to an unknown incident. This is a extremely rare catch as this appliance is 20 years old and rarely turns out.

They need to have a fundraiser to upgrade those beacons.

You don't normally associate a water carrier turning out in torrential rain. Baking sunshine yes!

[@EnidAgnusDei]

Used to remove water from flooded areas?

[@YelpBullhorn]

@@EnidAgnusDei well no... because, in general, water carriers don't have a pump powerful enough to pump out a flood. And they'd have to empty their tank first. I may well be wrong but I've never heard of a water carrier attending a flood. Ever.

Fantastic video keep up with the good work would you ever come to Plymouth to film some emergency vehicles that be good to see 😀

[@DevonEmergencyResponse]

Yep, im planning to go to Plymouth within the next month hopefully, I've already got some video from there like Greenbank fire station.

Ok thanks for replying back to me I will look forward to seeing the videos I have subscribed so I don’t miss anything 😁

It’s a WrC (Water Carrier). Bowsers are the trailers used to carry fuel for the LPPs on long jobs.

You took the words right outta my mouth (or fingers anyway!)

Thank you

@@DevonEmergencyResponse No problem 🧑🏻👍🏻

[@LondonEmergency999]

Great catch, shame they don't use much noise out of Torquay!

[@SomersetEmergencyResponses999]

They don’t use much your right

[@DevonEmergencyResponse]

Yea, dosent get a lot of action

[@the_once-and-future_king.]

Didn't it have its rear strobes working?

[@DevonEmergencyResponse]

I'm not sure, it's an old appliance and the camera might not have picked up on it.

[@grahamallen1970]

Get a move on! Or was it a drill?

[@DevonEmergencyResponse]

That pump was crewed by retained crews, I also think there might have been a bit of confusion on what appliance was needed.

[@98Blackbess]

Not more * VERY RARE * crap. If it was that rare it wouldn't be kept on the fleet. Simple !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DevonEmergencyResponse]

It's labeled like that as this appliance rarely turns out to incidents. In over 2 years of spotting, I've only ever caught it 2 times, therefore it's rare to me.

[@CymruEmergencyResponder]

@@DevonEmergencyResponse It turns out pretty regularly to be honest.
