@@EyeWatchThemAll That is because of the architecture of our buildings. Every apartment is a concrete box, with a minimum of one hour fire separation, so the only fire load was the furnishings. Just bounce the water off the ceiling, job done. To avoid getting smoke into the stairwell, they would not have opened the door to the apartment until most of the smoke had vented out through the windows. This method would certainly not have worked in the US or Canada. Even if within the apartment they had hollow walls, they end at the ceiling and do not run through. The walls are gypsum which is non combustible and the studding is light weight steel box sections, so there's nothing to burn. Even in older houses where hollow walls have wood laths, the walls do not run between floors. The party walls between houses in a terrace are still brick brick up through the loft and extend 18 inches above the roof in most cases, so fire cannot spread along the lofts. These regulations have been in place for more than 200 years.

We'll never learn. Too many dinosaurs in the American fire services. They enjoy taking 3 minutes untangling hundreds of feet of hose line for smaller fires like this. BUT...that longer, higher volume hose is needed for larger fires. Your dinky roll out hoses, although quick to deploy and appropriate for a fire like this, would be like trying to piss on a much larger fire {I must say though, that fully enclosed concrete flats/apartments (or homes) are much easier to fight with simply placing water on the fire from the outside as shown her. In all actuality, this fire was dying down as the fire department arrived due to most of the flammable materials had already been exhausted.].

THE ONLY thing i would like to ask as you are a current resident is have they put fire doors between the lift lobby and the stairwells now? that was my biggest concern back then that if a fire (god forbid) go out onto the lift lobby landing then the stairwell was open top to bottom and would act as a chimney and block the one and only means of escape due to smoke! ..i do hope they have made the stairwells more contained in the 3 blocks than they were back then!

Жыл бұрын
From the looks of blasted windows and the smoke, the fire is already fully developed and burning everything everywhere in the appartment. It looks relevant to do an immediate exterior attack to cool down as much smoke as possible and it looked effective when you see the giant cloud of steam coming out the other set of windows. We can't see very well but I guess the other high pressure hose has been used to do an interior attack. The exterior fireman then switched to peripheral cooling to avoid the smoke escaping through the windows to create more damage to the cladding.

@nevillemason6791
Жыл бұрын
An aerial ladder platform ('ladder company') would have been dispatched but maybe it was cancelled en route. This type apartment building is designed for internal firefighting as the priority. A dry riser is fitted the height of the building (connect a hose at ground floor externally and there's an outlet on each floor to connect a 2.5 inch hose). The building is clad in concrete panels so no issue like the Grenfell Tower disaster in London with inflammable cladding. Five pumps arrived from probably: Ashton (1.6 miles), Stalybridge (1.9 miles), Hyde (3.2 miles), Hollins (3.3 miles) and Mossley (3.7 miles). Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service have 41 stations covering about 500 square miles and a population of 2.8 million. Unlike the USA, in the UK each town doesn't individually operate it's own fire service. That system ended with the outbreak of war in 1939. The fire services cover much larger areas. In recent years they have expanded further (Scotland is covered by one organisation, as is Northern Ireland).

Yeah they'll have sent the three initial "pumps" as standard for a tower block along with a ladder which will have been en-route from further away because they don't have those at every station. They're not usually needed. The "chief" or scene commander travels to the scene in the fire engine itself, they're the guys with the white helmets. On larger fires, higher ranking officers may arrive in their own cars but they're not dispatched as standard. We don't have seperate safety officers or rescue squads. The crew on the fire engine are all trained in procedures to mimic these "specialties" so we don't have separate vehicles usually. There ARE specialist technical rescue and water rescue squads in their own trucks, but again they aren't usually needed for fires. They're dispatched to traffic collisions and so on.

Definitely some training needed for these boys in how a transitional attack works. We want a short external burst into the fire to reset the conditions, then push in with an internal attack. Pissing into the wind with a booster reel for minutes & minutes on end is having zero meaningful impact on the fire and is only introducing more air & steam back into the fire compartment. This is counter productive and making conditions inside harder for the internal team. Good video for learning.

@@patgeorge1 it may have worked this time but as he said, things happen as apparently with Grenfell. It's better to be safe than sorry with large scale buildings as the worst can happen. We do the exact same here in the states for large buildings and pre-plan for such emergencies where a high loss of life is potential. 4 or 5 members in a crew is ideal for interior attack, we do interior attack here in the states with much less - all we need is two in and two out for precaution. The first due unit's job is to establish water supply and get inside to find the fire and put it out as well as potentially locate any possible victims (which again is why you go interior, which they did not do, you treat all buildings as occupied until told otherwise). IC's decision was questionable and had this gone a bad way, he would be at fault for his actions.

He's just suppressing the fire externally while the rest of the firefighters tackle the fire within the building. At 3:35 a firefighter connects a hose to the rear of the fire engine and unrolls it to connect to the ground level inlet on the building's 'dry riser'. The dry riser is a pipe running vertically up the inside of the building with outlets on each floor. A hose will be connected to the outlet on the floor where the fire is to fight the fire. This avoids dragging hose up what could be many flights of stairs. The action is all out of sight.

@@EyeWatchThemAll That is because of the architecture of our buildings. Every apartment is a concrete box, with a minimum of one hour fire separation, so the only fire load was the furnishings. Just bounce the water off the ceiling, job done. To avoid getting smoke into the stairwell, they would not have opened the door to the apartment until most of the smoke had vented out through the windows. This method would certainly not have worked in the US or Canada. Even if within the apartment they had hollow walls, they end at the ceiling and do not run through. The walls are gypsum which is non combustible and the studding is light weight steel box sections, so there's nothing to burn. Even in older houses where hollow walls have wood laths, the walls do not run between floors. The party walls between houses in a terrace are still brick brick up through the loft and extend 18 inches above the roof in most cases, so fire cannot spread along the lofts. These regulations have been in place for more than 200 years.

THE ONLY thing i would like to ask as you are a current resident is have they put fire doors between the lift lobby and the stairwells now? that was my biggest concern back then that if a fire (god forbid) go out onto the lift lobby landing then the stairwell was open top to bottom and would act as a chimney and block the one and only means of escape due to smoke! ..i do hope they have made the stairwells more contained in the 3 blocks than they were back then!

From the looks of blasted windows and the smoke, the fire is already fully developed and burning everything everywhere in the appartment. It looks relevant to do an immediate exterior attack to cool down as much smoke as possible and it looked effective when you see the giant cloud of steam coming out the other set of windows. We can't see very well but I guess the other high pressure hose has been used to do an interior attack. The exterior fireman then switched to peripheral cooling to avoid the smoke escaping through the windows to create more damage to the cladding.

@nevillemason6791

An aerial ladder platform ('ladder company') would have been dispatched but maybe it was cancelled en route. This type apartment building is designed for internal firefighting as the priority. A dry riser is fitted the height of the building (connect a hose at ground floor externally and there's an outlet on each floor to connect a 2.5 inch hose). The building is clad in concrete panels so no issue like the Grenfell Tower disaster in London with inflammable cladding. Five pumps arrived from probably: Ashton (1.6 miles), Stalybridge (1.9 miles), Hyde (3.2 miles), Hollins (3.3 miles) and Mossley (3.7 miles). Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service have 41 stations covering about 500 square miles and a population of 2.8 million. Unlike the USA, in the UK each town doesn't individually operate it's own fire service. That system ended with the outbreak of war in 1939. The fire services cover much larger areas. In recent years they have expanded further (Scotland is covered by one organisation, as is Northern Ireland).

Yeah they'll have sent the three initial "pumps" as standard for a tower block along with a ladder which will have been en-route from further away because they don't have those at every station. They're not usually needed. The "chief" or scene commander travels to the scene in the fire engine itself, they're the guys with the white helmets. On larger fires, higher ranking officers may arrive in their own cars but they're not dispatched as standard. We don't have seperate safety officers or rescue squads. The crew on the fire engine are all trained in procedures to mimic these "specialties" so we don't have separate vehicles usually. There ARE specialist technical rescue and water rescue squads in their own trucks, but again they aren't usually needed for fires. They're dispatched to traffic collisions and so on.

The lack of traffic control by police is pathetic.

The interior of that flat is burnt to a crisp...... I hope no one got hurt....
Definitely some training needed for these boys in how a transitional attack works. We want a short external burst into the fire to reset the conditions, then push in with an internal attack. Pissing into the wind with a booster reel for minutes & minutes on end is having zero meaningful impact on the fire and is only introducing more air & steam back into the fire compartment. This is counter productive and making conditions inside harder for the internal team. Good video for learning.

Hard to do when you can't even reach the fire though. The gate was shut, looks like someone had to open it from inside. They couldn't even get close enough to put water on it. I think they did the best they could considering. More of a building design flaw than a training issue.

Sicuramente avranno spento l'incendio, anche dall'interno, altrimenti non si sarebbe spento mai .
What was the cause in the end ?
no one calls the people out of this house?
Luckily it was extinguished quickly. It's sad for the person who may have lost everything, more so if they're uninsured. It looks like quite a depressing place to live.
Hi Helen, you said that the fire was ten floors below you and you didn't realise. Does that really mean the building is safe ? There's no such thing as a fireproof door. There are doors that are resistant to fire.

When Widsor Castle burnt down. Right at the base of Brunswick Tower. The one that went up like a Roman cande and bang on in the muffle of the fire. At yhe bottom was the Glass Pantry. The doors at be it Extremely thick oak doors were shut. The fire was just trying to lock at the bottom of them. Having got inside, every glass was in tack. Exept one a Fireman dropped. The shelves were jet black with loads of White Circles. Closed Doors are Very effective. No, they won't prevent the spread of fire but can help immensely to slow it down

Lucky it wasn't any floor higher, the wind stopping that spray reaching at times was embarrassing to watch
Well done to the firepersons ,hope no one was in there or hurt.😮
Why do they call 'apartments' when they're all stuck together Gallagher

Water on immediately, then get set up and enter. excellent
Top Job 👍
If I were walking down the street and saw this, I'D DO WHAT I CAN TO HELP. What if there were kids in there? Or even adults?
At 12 minutes there are 8 engines on scene but not a single truck company. After Grenfell, I find this truly remarkable, particularly in light of the IC's decision to do an exterior attack.

@@patgeorge1 it may have worked this time but as he said, things happen as apparently with Grenfell. It's better to be safe than sorry with large scale buildings as the worst can happen. We do the exact same here in the states for large buildings and pre-plan for such emergencies where a high loss of life is potential. 4 or 5 members in a crew is ideal for interior attack, we do interior attack here in the states with much less - all we need is two in and two out for precaution. The first due unit's job is to establish water supply and get inside to find the fire and put it out as well as potentially locate any possible victims (which again is why you go interior, which they did not do, you treat all buildings as occupied until told otherwise). IC's decision was questionable and had this gone a bad way, he would be at fault for his actions.

He's just suppressing the fire externally while the rest of the firefighters tackle the fire within the building. At 3:35 a firefighter connects a hose to the rear of the fire engine and unrolls it to connect to the ground level inlet on the building's 'dry riser'. The dry riser is a pipe running vertically up the inside of the building with outlets on each floor. A hose will be connected to the outlet on the floor where the fire is to fight the fire. This avoids dragging hose up what could be many flights of stairs. The action is all out of sight.
Some context and background be good. Like how the fire started and shit.
First rule evacuate everyone from hazad situations not just fire but gas explorations..hopefully people are okay
