Voyager Point House Fire

[@fireenginefan111]

Can`t be a good feeling for the firefighters in that scenario! Surely questions need to be asked regarding the hydrants being paved over?

[@theofficialemergencyservic7881]

It can happen unintentionally if the cats eyes come off. Water pressure can also be a big issue depending on the area.

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

@@theofficialemergencyservic7881Don’t the hydrants receive an annual/biannual check by the council/fire brigade to ensure that they are serviceable?

[@azul8811]

@@heli-crewhgs5285I would think Spring & Fall.

[@adamnamu9069]

yo Sydney emergency did you hear about the liverpool fire

[@rebornROCKERSS]

That is incredible that they were saving the car. No one here in the US would do that

[@azul8811]

What were the air tanks for?

[@johncford3957]

Why not use proper , above ground, fire hydrants like we have in North America?

[@StealthFB22]

I wonder whose bright idea it was to pave over the hydrants! They should be criminally charged.

[@clubfoote1960]

This is a stupid question :I'm just curious, did the car in the garage get totally damaged or did it survive with some damage?

[@SydneyEmergency]

They were able to drive the car out after the fire was controlled and it was saved.

[@aussie8114]

It was an old Rolls.

[@crazyleyland5106]

I'm glad they managed to save the car.

[@SouthSideEmergencyResponses]

I was here unlistedly

[@paulstewart2ndchannel]

2:14 good job the firefighter putting the cover over the Bentley (or Rolls?)

[@aussie8114]

It was a nice house. I have 3 full size fire extinguishers in my house, just in case.

Respect aux pompiers pour leurs dévouement

[@mer2705]

Good save

[@robinblitz5213]

Who's at fault here the bloody council of course and secondeky the fire service for not checking

[@Salutimondo]

Of course the people who paved and covered the hydrants are totally blameless eh? Always people in authority who are at fault?

[@ashwilliams999]

@@Salutimondo don’t disagree with you, but unless all the nearby hydrants were covered up within a fairly short timescale, it also stinks of a situation where nobody’s been inspecting them either

[@frankmitchell1530]

The council has nothing to do with hydrants. It is the resposibility of Sydney Water and FRNSW. Residents are also required to ensure hydrants are not paved over or have grass growing over them.
