For anyone wondering about the "R.P.E. Support Unit" in the first clip, it stands for "Respiratory Protective Equipment", and I believe it carries extra air cylinders to replenish breathing apparatus which have been used.

You are correct.... RPE does stand for Respiratory Protective Equipment.... However we do jot carry Oxygen... We carry breathable air cylinders to replenish those used by BA crews at the larger incidents.... We belong to Protective Equipment Group (PEG) and we inspect and maintain lots of the Brigades equipment including BA sets, Technical Rescue Equipment and Hose.....

I love a good two tone, brings me back to childhood a bit.

I read a few comments below whilst the opening ad played out and I thought “two-tones in London? Surely not.” Then saw the High Volume Pump relocating, and thought “here we go!” Great vid.

Reliefs on blues & twos? Done at normal road speed in our brigade. Are you sure it's not just the last of the 'make pumps plenty' arriving?

I'm surprised LFB are still using the 06/56 and 07/57 Atego pumps I understand they are so knackered they spend as much time in the workshops as on the run. The pumps LFB sent up to the moorland fires in Gtr Manchester/West Yorkshire last year for water relays were admittedly brigade reserve appliances but still they were in crap condition. For those who are unaware the MAN HVP has 2 tones because it's not owned by Asset Co (LFB). It is part of the government owned new dimension fleet and 2 tones are pretty much standard on them.

@@abingdonboy Asset Co gained the contract to manage London Fire Brigade on the false promise that they could make substantial savings. They tried to achieve this by closing fire stations, reducing appliance and firefighter numbers and attempting to run older high mileage vehicles well beyond their useful life. They failed miserably and twice went broke and had to be bailed out by the government. They also run Lincolnshire fire and recue service, that contract is contentious also. The new dimension fleet was one of John Prescott's ideas to increase national resilience to major incidents and disasters. They are not fire appliances but a range of pod mounted support equipment (USAR; HVP etc) owned by the government. You might notice they have no markings other than Fire & Rescue. All fire services in the UK are allocated a number of these vehicles which are crewed and maintained by each individual fire service.

There were more than 2 at Grenfell. The reason they weren’t able to effectively get them into service is because there are no access roads at the bottom of Grenfell tower.

@@CymruEmergencyResponder Thanks for that. You know, in all I read about Grenfell, that is the first time I've heard that. I still think on balance, that the response was inadequately planned and 2x Sklifts were not enough to tackle such a ferocity of fire. I understand that there was a significant delay in getting those to that fire. It would have been a completely different and probably significantly more effective response had Grenfell been in NY where I work. In NY it would automatically have been a 5-Alarm but would likely have escalated to a 10-alarm equivalent deployment with multiple units quickly being brought in from other boroughs as necessary. Speed was of the essence. What's your opinion. PS, Grenfell has become part of a case study here with LFB response being analysed, mostly for what could have been done better! PPS, My opinion is not so much based on the frontline guys as those in HQ charged with operational planning.

@northoltflightwatch

4 жыл бұрын

I don't know the specifics of the make up for that incident but I'm fairly sure Grenfell had around 40 fire engines, around 6-8 rescue tenders (FRU) and at least 4 aerials. The issue was those aerials were not long enough (32m) to get to the peak of the fire and that there was difficulty getting more than one to the fireground due to the road layout. This was indeed a dark night for London and things have changed - any high rise fire alarm will now immediately get 6 engines and an aerial deployed. The LFB have also ordered 64m turntable ladders which will now be the longest in the country.

@CymruEmergencyResponder

bigdmac33 I don’t think the FDNY would have done any better. In fact, I think it would have been worse due to the ‘Separate Company System’ of working. In the U.K. firefighters don’t belong to specific ‘Engine’ or ‘Ladder’ companies and they are deployed in any role on the fireground. We don’t have the dangerous, and frankly useless, policy of walking around on the roof doing ‘vertical venting’ and as such the number of firefighter LODD here is effectively zero. We use rolled use instead of flat laid hose. All we have to do is throw out the roll and charge it. FDNY (and most US fire departments) have to drag out the flat laid hose, untangle, and then charge which takes far too long. Another good point is that British aerial appliances are far more versatile than those found in the US. In FDNY ‘straight stick’ and ‘towers’ are common whereas we use Aerial Ladder Platforms. These can do things like get the platform (you might call it the bucket) underneath a bridge that the truck is parked on. US style aerials would have been effectively useless at Grenfell, no matter how many you sent because you would not have been able to get close enough and wouldn’t have the manoeuvrability. Aerial appliances are generally less common in the U.K. anyway because we don’t use them that much. All of the equipment that would be carried on a US ‘Ladder’ is generally carried on an ‘Engine’ here. We don’t have many Aerials because we don’t use them in the same way. House fires for example in the US get a couple of ladders attending whereas here they may not get one at all. This is because generally we have far higher fire safety laws and building regulations, quicker firefighting practices/methods etc. Hope that helps :) nice to chat to someone from across the pond!

fire trucks can easily serve for 2 decades at the first department, and after that it's not uncommon that they are handed over to a volunteer FD which runs less calls, and after that they are often handed over to departments in e.g. south-eastern Europe or Africa

They are not left without cover. Other areas send in cover vehicles and retained crews called in on standby rather than just for a specific call out. There may not be quite so many and they may cover a slightly larger area but they are never left without cover. Standard practice for fire, ambulance and police during major incidents. Cover can and is called from neighbouring Counties.
