View Inside A Working Fire Engine! See What They Carry.

[@PbThunder]

Paramedic here, I know all the emergency services shit on eachother and talk shit, but we all know there's a level of respect for eachother. I regularly work with the fire & rescue service, you guys do an amazing job and you're nothing less than professionals. I once asked a firefighter to give us some room in a cluttered house during a medical emergency following an assisted break-in. I turned around 2min later and the room was completely empty of furniture, sofa, TV, Welsh dresser and everything. I couldn't stop laughing. Keep up the good work lads and stay safe!

My dad’s been a fire fighter for 25 years, very proud of him. I would’ve been one myself if I wasn’t so scared of heights.

[@williamfairchild7439]

I'm going to be a fire fighter

[@neilburns8869]

As proud as I am sure you're Dad would have been to have you follow in his footsteps, he will be more aware of all the dangers that go with such a job - so I am sure that he will be more than happy just to have you around. Anyway it takes all kinds of people to make a world, good luck with whatever you choose.

[@randobrandomotion564]

Don’t be afraid push yourself to the limits I’m a fire cadet and I’m scared of heights to but I just push to the limit

[@juntus89]

My dad was a firefighter for 18 He would have been a lot better at the job than your dad that's for sure. He saved way more lives and had a much bigger knob

[@davidjohn2663]

Fascinating, I was a firefighter for ten years and its great to see how the appliance and its kit has evolved over the fifteen years I've been out of the job. Recognised most of the equipment though, cant believe the BA sets are not in the cab, but can see the point. We had a little cheat in our station that when a persons reported was called, we we had two guys under air as we pulled up, whether it was needed or not. The BA board was in the cab as well then and we used to use the rapid deployment slots to mark the under air start time.. Not an original idea but saved a lot of time. Great video Brother, liked and subscribed 👍

[@williamfairchild7439]

I'm going to be a Firefighter and wear the equipment, BA and helmet and carry the tank on my back

[@01cthompson]

It's amazing how things have changed since I was involved with the fire service in the late 80's / early 90's. I think the UK is even more advanced than the US. I'm amazed by the battery operated spreaders and cutters. That used to be a 3 man job. I like the computerized pump panel as well. No more mortal combat with a priming lever. 😃

[@williamfairchild7439]

I'm going to be in the fire service as a fireman

[@davidjohn2663]

Brilliant reply, I was in 1998 to 2008, been driver/pump operator many many times

[@Meteor-IE]

I am in ROI and I assume its no different really anywhere, but the guys in the stations are really accommodating if you ever want a look around, just remember how you got in as they might bolt of on the fly! I went a few times for interviews to get an idea, and never a problem, never passed the interview however, 3rd time lucky, but too old now. Respect to the people doing this, fulltime or retained.

[@michellebulmer9911]

Really fascinating. Thank you to all our hardworking firefighters. Brilliant content as always Ben. Keep it coming!

[@thebagfather4633]

hero's all of them . well done great vid

[@taono]

thanks Ben for this video, was a great insight to what tech/gear is in one of those life saving machines, as a yorkshire lad its re-assuring to know they have the gear to help us out in times of need.

[@peterallen2904]

I was in the fire service from 1967 to 1992. I saw many changes. We actually called them ‘trucks’. Also, jokingly, we sometimes called our protective clothing ‘Fire Engine Suits’. I know, you have to be a little mad to be a firefighter.

[@MsMenatwork]

Hello Ben Pearson my son Jonnie really like your youtube channel and really like the police and all the emergency services . Thanks

[@damionlee7658]

This is a wonderful extension to your recent vehicle review content. Props to Watch Commander Merifield, who was very engaging on camera, not too mention very quick and on point with the bants. Really looking forward to the next episode. Will be very interesting to learn more about that equipment, and the men and women of the service. (Plus maybe the answer to the most important question: Do they have a station house dog at North Yorkshire F&R?) I have a sneaking suspicion that this series will extend out to more services. So I'm looking forward to seeing content on ambulances. Hopefully also the fifth (because we all know the AA is the fourth) emergency service... (And I'm not picking which is fifth, I don't want a flame war). If you do extend this series to organisations such as Bomb Disposal, Coastguard, Cave/Lowland/Mountain/Mine/Moorland/Quicksand (shoutout to Bay Search and Rescue) Rescue services, it would be really good not just to cover their equipment, what they do, and how they do it, but also when and how to ask for them. For example initially asking for the police to then ask for mountain rescue, rather than asking for mountain rescue directly when calling 999. (Actually, roadside rescue would also make for some interesting content, I'm sure). That's more than enough of my rambling on. So thanks to you Ben, and everybody on the team that makes these videos possible. You all do fantastic work.

[@jamiew.2718]

Nice to see a bit of variety now and then. Was kinda cute watching you both banter, Paul seems like a great boss and mate!

I'm enjoying these vehicle review videos, and the music on this one was better than on some of the previous ones, keep up the good work and keep improving.

Our local fire station has just acquired 2 71-reg Scania fire appliances in the last 18 months. While in some of the more outlying areas of our region they recently received 5 72-reg IVECO fire appliances which I think says a lot for just how much the Italian based truck manufacturers have come on in recent years.

[@TestGearJunkie.]

Fascinating as always, Ben. We live literally across the street from the back of the fire station here, the main entrance is in the next street though. I remember when our neighbour's cat went missing, she was only a kitten at the time, we were running around everywhere looking for her, and we called in at the fire station. It turned out that they'd been chasing her round the place for 20 minutes, then we think she gave up 😹 Oh yes, do they get badges for cutting off car roofs..? 🤣

Nice video Ben nice to see what other counties carry on their water tender, because in Essex, it’s a bit different

[@chrisblay]

That’s a lot of kit they carry on the fire engine (appliance) with them. Although when you think the multitude of situations the fire service deals with. 👍

[@CDB8939]

There is a lot more kit that that wasn't looked at, to go through it all would need about a 1 hour video

[@TomCro73]

@@CDB8939 I figured, though there are a few bigger (physically) things I missed. The big one was vehicle stabilization hardware but also heavy rescue saws (K12s, chainsaws), large hand tools (axes, halligans, etc.), smoothbore nozzles... Q-horn, muhahaa ;)

I applied for the fire service once and went for an interview but nothing came of it. Now am more interested in working for the ambulance service and recently got my C1 license which I would need for driving the ambulances so hopefully in the near future will be doing that fingers crossed

[@jackvaxx2100]

Ben! I’ve just started watching your videos and I found a weird little coincidence. I’m just about to become a constable myself and your videos have been mega helpful. Also, to celebrate my achievement I’ve started thinking about starting a little (very modest and inexpensive) watch collection. I’ve noticed you wearing a few different nice watches in your videos now, so I’ve got a double-part question that I’m really hoping you’ll consider putting in your next QnA. 1) Were you married/with your partner at the time you joined the police and if so, what effect did the job have on your relationship? 2) tell us a little bit about your watch collection! Cheers for everything mate, big love

[@UmvimvaniT]

Loved this one! Just hoped for the siren at the end that did not happen (did not REALLY expect it to).

[@richie18898]

[@PhilsWorkshop1953]

I worked for a company that used to build them I used to do the electrical wok on them then I moved to building ambulances designed the electrical distribution boards for internal lighting recording radios charge management systems. It is fantastic the kit they care and the men and women fire people are beyond reproach but for me the technology is upmost important

Back in the '70's my father drove a Ford based appliance for Surrey FB. They were renowned for being gutless. A fellow driver told the tale of going to a shout up the A3 dual carriageway at Stag Hill, Guildord on blues and twos, only to be overtaken by a car towing a caravan..

I've driven a few in London : old Dennis, volvos, even scania & MAN specialist appliances, London is now nearly all Mercedes, just as powerful as the new volvos.

[@TheSurferboi1992]

scania are the best on the market. best looking as well but they are big boys places with small roads or small villages like north and west Yorkshire and the south west have the smaller cab appliances where the citys and bigger open parts of the country have scania. scania, volvo, man, mercedes, daf are the main makes of fire engines used in the uk

[@tomalex4806]

West Midlands fire service used to use Dennis aswell. Now they use Volvo

[@TheSurferboi1992]

@tomalex4806 the entire country use to use Dennis in the 80 and 90 and early 00s west midlands was the only service i know who still used them to this date.

[@WithTwoFlakes]

Accidentally stumbling across fascinating videos like this one make it worthwhile putting up with all the other garbage on t'InterWeb. Top stuff 👍 I had no idea they carry so much gear. I was watching this and every couple of minutes muttering Oh yeah, I guess they'd need that bit of kit...

Ben, they are a great bunch at Taddy Fire Station during the Tour De Aky 2019, we called in to Taddy Nick. needing to rest & use the loo BUT we found it all locked up. no one around Taddy F&Rs allowed us access to use their facilities. After riding from Scarborough to York then on to Tad it was a in rain hail & strong winds. it was most welcome to get in the warmth & dry. BUT it was dinner time. the watch that was there were only cooking Fillet Steak. 😮😮😮 I'll never forget the delicious aroma as I walked through the station 😂😂
