From the time of arrival until water was on the fire 🔥 was 30 seconds. That is amazing!!! 🤩 I wish American firefighters 🚒 could do that. They usually spend 5 minutes or more getting hoses out and putting gear on.
They don't use high pressure hose reels that are pre connected to the main pump via a third stage and is already charged with water which allows getting to work quickly, American firefighters tend to use pre connected flaked hose which has to be charged with water and kinks in hose removed before showing water which takes extra time. They use larger diameter hose initially for higher volumes of water.
In Essex there is a hose reel on either side of the appliance. The hose reels are directly connected to the pump, so they can 'get to work' very quickly. Each hose reel is 30m in length and from memory the diameter is 19mm. Apart from the hose reels each front line appliance carries 45mm and 70mm of 'lay flat' hose. This has to be run out and connected to the pump. Usually there is a hand controlled branch (not nozzle) at the business end.
@@FloRider66 Much like our appliances are set up in NZ, the hose reels operate at 3500 kpa from memory and were great for making use of your tank supply whilst a standpipe was being shipped for hydrant supply. The yanks tend to favour flaked deliveries but your initial tank supply doesn't last as long so hydrant supply is critical if you don't want to run dry as I've seen happen in quite a few of these videos from USA.
@@johnmh1000 Thanks for your reply! I'm especially interested in how many lengths of flat hose there are? Background of question is, here in Germany we usually have one 30m reel on the engine but its strictly not for use in interrior attacks. So we always use flat hose in those cases. If I do a quick math the 30m would be not enough for the multi-dwelling I'm currently living in.
@@FloRider66 Interesting point. I retired from the Service (not as an operational firefighter) several years ago. I was responsible, along with Engineering colleagues, to specify and purchase appliances and equipment. I'll see if I can check over my old notes, or speak to colleagues and get back to you.
I think this also demonstrates nicely how limited access we have in most urban pedestrianised/ cycled, / personal car parking / pot plant/ concrete barrier obstructions . Every planning for private and business premises should allow more useabke space for emergency services.
Technically Speaking Yes, 1 Appliance responds Initially. My Guess is that because of the Possibility of exposure to the Mcdonalds Building itself the Second Appliance Made To Scene.
From initial call until units arrive it is never 100% clear information. Better safe than too late except if another emergemcy somewhere which needs resources more urgently.
We always send a second Appliance in case the fire spreads to the building and if it did then you have a whole other ball game . It’s common practice in case the need to ferry water if there’s not a fire hydrant available ie if it was on a motorway where there are no fire hydrants .
Thats the way to do it. Water on 28 secs from the first pump coming to a halt.
Puts some of the US firefighting videos to shame eh. Especially when it's 10s of minutes before water is pumping on some occasions.

5 mins minimum 😂😂

Excuse, Sir, how do you like your burgers grilled, EV, Diesel, etc?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was this the maccies in Kingstown in Carlisle? I never heard about this lol😂
Yeah Made Facebook for all of about 3 hours lol
For all the Americans from turn up to fire out 4mins ,with the garden hoses as you like to call them.
The Video is cut up they had the fire out within 2 minutes of arrival. It was practially out before C20P1 (Carlisle East) Arrived.
Nice vid
Thanks
You want that buger well done sir 😂
How many lenghts of which diameter of hose does a normal pump appliance usually contain?

Sure wish American firefighters could get water that fast.

No sir, flame grill is Burger King 😂
what i don,t get is why you gotta have another unit turn up and don,t do anything i always thought for car fires it would be just one unit.
Technically Speaking Yes, 1 Appliance responds Initially. My Guess is that because of the Possibility of exposure to the Mcdonalds Building itself the Second Appliance Made To Scene.
Probably the initial caller has said it’s right next to the building so the operator would have mobilised a 2nd appliance just in case
