Wildfire response during last year's heatwaves 🔥🌡

As the UK struggles with wildfires during recent record-breaking heatwaves, this video shows the emergency service response to a field fire last year in Worcestershire. A water carrier, an off road unit and several fire engines attended.
This footage was recorded during a dispute with KZbin and unfortunately wasn't able to be published during the 5-month long dispute period.
Recorded: 2021

Wonder if that truck knew it had no blues 😂😂😂

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

I didn’t think that the sirens could operate without the blues being activated.

[@markwright3161]

I initially thought it was just matching up with the camera's shutter speed, but I don't think it's possible for all the lights to match for that long.

[@davidosborne5019]

The lights have to be switched on for the siren to operate. It appears that, although switched on, the lights weren't operating as they should have been. In this instance, with the safety equipment malfunctioning, I would have thought that the appliance would be taken off roll-call until the fault was rectified.

[@ericlundvall3606]

Should have been picked up by previous shift unless they were working then but next shift when doing appliance checks might have noticed becans not working and before they could take the truck off the run to be fixed got turned out

Thank you for the Time stamps! 🙂 I hope that you have an amazingly awesome day today and everyday........... stay safe, protected and blessed always

[@kentemergencyspotter2763]

Great video! I was inside Ashford fire station in Kent yesterday and whilst I was talking to the crew the alarm went off and the Bulk water carrier and scania were called out to a huge field fire

[@Demun1649]

The off-road needs some of those 3-axled Land Rovers with the dispersal nozzles mounted on the roof. They accelerate like runny shite, and look just so cool.

[@NeilM01989]

Nice, what happened to the flashing blues on the first appliance? Liked and shared 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒

[@Charlzey1998]

Erm 281! Lights aren't working 😂

[@matthewburrows2768]

Someone’s set off without blues on!!!!! The sirens will work without them normally. As long as the handbrake is disengaged.

This footage was recorded during a dispute with KZbin in summer 2021, and unfortunately wasn't able to be published during the 5-month long dispute period.

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

I am glad that you finally got to put this up Steven, Chris and Cameron, even if it was recorded 5 months back! because the Fire Brigade and the other emergency units did an amazing job........ and they always do an awesome job....... bless them all....... 🙂....... and well thank you three for posting it now none the less......... 🙂 Anyway, I hope that you three have an amazingly awesome day today and everyday......... stay safe, protected and blessed always......... 🙂

[@robbrent]

It would be interesting to know what KZbin puts you through if it’s something you could share.

[@CobraEmergency]

@@robbrent There's an automated system that detects content it believes is someone else's. The system however struggles with making human-like decisions and makes lots of mistakes and also seems to struggle with the fact that multiple channels can belong to one party (e.g. a company). Unfortunately they don't tell us which content they think is someone else's, so you cannot investigate it and have to try and guess. All the people who I've spoke to who have had this issue say the same thing; the content is theirs and they haven't been told which content the system thinks is re-used. You know it's theirs because as humans you can see the similarities in filming styles, image quality, locations, topics and even the same faces and voices. It's a huge pain!

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

@@CobraEmergency I totally agree........ it can be a pain....... looks like that old glitch that computers and other electronic systems used to face when they were first invented, is still going strong....... i mean, if a computer were to tell you the difference between two similar looking people, it will still find that hard to do, which is why some police forces still go the old school way, you know asking a witness to identify a particular suspect from a range of suspects...... and also it's hard for a computer systems to just remember things unless you program the system....... i learnt computers in my grade school and i will tell you this, i was a dunce, when it came to computer programming......... in fact my elder brother was and still is a total computer wiz...... he used to type programs that could help me play a different game right under my computer teacher's nose and my fellow students were always telling me "Rebecca, you aren't supposed to play that game" and i would tell them "Tell that Prefect over there with the teachers...... he is the one who gave me this game and also that Prefect is my elder brother" ....... and my elder brother always would give me a very mischievous smile and i always saw his eyes twinkle every time he did that......

[@CobraEmergency]

@@rebeccafionacornel6558 Well to put it simply Becky, computers are great but they don't have that human eye for things! Creative decision making is distinctive of organic beings. Cheeky brother 😂

[@FirePoAm]

Luckily it is now rainy season in my country, so wild fire had not been a problem anymore. Hottest month in my country is April

[@CobraEmergency]

At least you can now relax a bit more. We're well overdue rain here! But the problem is, it will likely go to the other extremes and bring flooding.

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

Would it be asking too much to know which country you are referring to. Your response is rather pointless otherwise.

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

​@@CobraEmergency well, you are true on that! but either way that is sad news ....... 😞

[@CobraEmergency]

FirePoAm is referring to Vietnam.

[@FirePoAm]

@@heli-crewhgs5285 I am in Vietnam my friend

[@Connor12.1]

Where about is this

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

YIEEKS! those were some wild fires......... but i must say that the fire brigade and other emergency services have been doing a very good job making sure things are going fine and everyone is safe during all these wild fires and heatwave

[@harvester9997]

hi

[@FDCAFOK]

40 is not hot enough to cause any.

[@the_once-and-future_king.]

No but it will dry everything out making it easier to set alight.

[@FDCAFOK]

@@the_once-and-future_king. That is the lack of responsibility on the person, not climate.

[@the_once-and-future_king.]

@@FDCAFOK Well yeah, I didn't say otherwise mate. Now, if we could just keep things moist we'd be golden. Oh yeah, the highly profitable water companies have decided to ban hosepipes! So instead of using 100 litres to prevent a fire, we'll have to use 10000 litres putting it out. Coz logic!

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

@@the_once-and-future_king. you just made An EXCELLENT point i must say!

[@markwright3161]

@@the_once-and-future_king. The one issue is that the 100 litres from the mains is water safe for human consumption, etc, from a finite quantity of such in a reservoir or similar that needs to be preserved for an unforeseeable future, whereas the 10'000 litres can be taken from sources that aren't safe to drink from, rivers, ponds, the sea, etc.
