European trucks, North American sirens, mixed lights: European pattern and North American colours. The soul of Australia in firefighter version.

First pumper is out the door in roughly 1 minute. Thats 1 minute it took them to wake up at 3am, go down to the engine bay, get dressed into PPE, get on board the truck and respond. Keep in mind the pumper has a crew of 5 fire fighters who all need to accomplish this. I would call that pretty good and would like to see some of the people commented on here about the slow response time do the same. The other trucks are you can see where dispatched at later times in the video as more resources were being called for as the incident escalated. From the time of their dispatch the aerial appliance took 1 and a half minutes to respond, the rescue pumper 50 seconds and the rescue 1 and a half minutes, again, all under the same circumstances as the first pump. Also keep in mind these fire fighters were dedicating their night to protecting the people of Sydney, spending an important event away from their family to serve others, they don't deserve to be criticised, nor should they be because as far as I see it they performed as best they could.

Not sure why the two different colours: all Aussie emergency vehicles have them. Maybe to deal with the differing conspicuity of the colours in different lighting conditions (sunny day, overcast, etc.); although I'd be surprised if that much science went into it. If there was some science I'd think that all the lights would be synchronised: much better for spatial locating by drivers, particularly at night.

Imo opinion emergency vehicles with 1 colour ljghts are looking cooler, but vehicles with red and blue are safer - if someone is colorblind to red, he will see blue and vice versa. Some countries use onlu blue beacause not only emergency vehicles use red light and people could think those red lights are brake lights.

Das sind ja mal geile Tore vom Feuerwehrhaus, sowas hab ich auch noch nicht gesehen. Die Wagen sehen auch super aus, klasse Aufnahme!

nope, the main building is 110 m long, plus sports ground and parking lots. But it isn't that big for no reason, we have 3 Engines, 3 Aerials (each 100ft), 2 Tankers, 1 Heavy Rescue, 1 Technical Rescue, 1 Water/Heights Rescue, 1 Command, 6 Chief cars, 3 vans, 3 trucks and 3 pod carriers with 15 different containers, 1 forklift and 2 boats

as much as I understand your argumentation: our station's area is 180 m long and 90 m wide, with buildings on 4 sides of the huge backyard, the main building with several floors, and we still leave the station within 60 to 90 seconds...

Agreed, everyone thinks we have to be high speed even though that’s the leading cause of mistakes and injury. I’m an example of having my driver break the bay door from rushing. Honestly move quick on scene.

I live near that fire station and what I've notice is that the 1st truck will always leave with-in the minute mark and the rest will leave like you see here, most of the call outs they get would be false alarms being right in the cbd... so not really a big deal to have the other trucks there, they have the rumbler sirens now so it's fucked at 3am

Other appliances where already on scene and fighting the fire. These appliances where being called for individually as the alarm level rose, apart from the flyer which has 30 seconds to get out the door, the standard time is 90 seconds. And thank you for bringing the USA into this thread, i don't see how it relates to anything, but again, thank you.

I like the sirens, the trucks & I'd love to go for a visit & a ride out some day. Stay safe!

The Flyer responded to 18 calls that night.It is Sydneys busiest fire station the flyer responded to over 7500 calls in 2012.Its not the busiest working statiion as in the amount of workers(75% of the calls are for automatic alarms)but both the flyer and runner respond more times than any other truck in the city.

ill really did the last ruck that left, it still has the old nsw brigade livery as well as those spinning halogen beacons on top, those trucks look so good!!

Their is no difference, it's just a callsign. It's coined from the "flying squad", who manned the 1st pump who had to be out the door in less then 30 seconds from a call coming in, hence the name flyer, and the 2nd pump which ran all over sydney supporting other stations, hence the name runner.

If you read the description is tells you that this station was not first due, therefore the response of this station is not as urgent

The first time I watched this, I too thought it was a slow respnse. BUT, after reading some comments, re-watching, and keeping an eye on the clock, I realized No, they made GOOD TIME-OUT! I, sitting in my comfy chair, had a distorted perception. I Have responded-from a dead sleep [at HOME!] driven to the fire house, driven to the call, returned, and THEN gone to work ! But the surprising thing is Later, finding out 'Dispatch' to 'On-Scene' was 2.5 minutes! So, time perception vs. reality ... NO JUDGEMENT... NO CRITICISMS!! Good Job Guys !!!!!

Except watch again, but this time watch the speed at which the guys put on their gear and depart. You don’t know exactly when they got the call from the video. It starts after the call came in. It is also edited. You can easily see that. Don’t guess. Look at their individual speeds, how their gear is set up, especially for the first crew. They could cut their time in half, if they bothered to.

Nice catch

Another excellent video - thanks! The red & blue lights are very effective, especially in these night time shots. In first clip, glad I wasn't needing rescued that night - 3mins to get the first unit on the road!!?

Also for everyone claiming "we could have emptied that station in 3 minutes" and "slow response!", at the start of the video, only 1 truck was paged (that 1 light on the screen at the start of the vid) and as they where turning out, the job escalated, and more appliances where called for as the alarm levels rose. Notice as the runners crew was gearing up and turning out, the A on the screen lit up? thats for the aerial.

what camera do you use?

coool sound - sounds like ours in Denmark :) Happy new year

Come to Western Sydney and you will see heaps of Emergency Services. Its crazy every night there are sirens nonstop!!

You're joking! 180m?! Wow...

They were being requested at different times due to an escalated response.

A few comments on the sirens below. To clarify I remember a low level female politician - her name escapes me- complained about fire truck sirens as she lived in an inner city apartment. Fire trucks always respond code red with siren on all the way. I think after her fuss about those noisy sirens the fire siren in NSW at least was toned down a little. I personally agree the Federal sirens used on US trucks identifies a fire truck very clearly and NSW Fire should take it up.

Flyer is the name given to the first appliance years ago as it had to be out the door in a minute of receiving a call. The name was given as it had to "fly" out the door. Runner is given to the second appliance as it had to be out the door in 2 minutes. The name was given as it looked like it was "running" after the Flyer

I love the trucks there! I visited Sydney recently and saw one of them responding. I personally don't like their choice of sirens. Then again I don't really hear them often since I live in the U.S.A. With that aside I love the trucks and the way they have the checker board paint job around the truck. That is similar to our chevrons here. I also love the fact that they use both red and blue lights on their rigs. Usually in the U.S. I only see red on fire trucks, so it was nice to see red and blue. Great catch and thanks for sharing!

Flyer and Runner are call signs from back when the fire brigade started. The"Flyer" was named as it had to be out the door in under a minute of receiving a call and looked like it was flying out the door, with the rew sleeping nearby in a room on the ground floor. The "Runner" was named as it had to be out the door in under 2 minutes ofreceiving a call and always looked like it was running after the Flyer.
