The FDNY also use a bus, converted into a Mobile Respiratory Treatment Unit for patients suffering from smoke inhalation, and as a mass casualty unit. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/MHcIuGeNbfg/v-deo.html
Absolutely brilliant catch here lad, regards to other comments its Dennis Dart East Lancashire Spryte powered by a Cummins 6BT Engine and Allison World Series gearbox! :)
my god a dart in the bragade that is somthing else and a voith transmition to boot yess we ha a dart V146 mvx bus it ne shut up squeaking a squeaky toy it was a zf gearbox it is now in otherwell it still sounds the same lol
SKY-911☆CS:GO☆ It's a command and control unit built by a bus maker. Used on major incidents as an operational control centre for coordination of emergency services.
CobraEmergencyVideos - Europe The Shreveport Fire Department uses a GMC RTS bus that was converted into a command center. The Caddo Parish sheriff's department has a command center made out of a GMC RTS.
+999madtom Actually I've been inside - it's very modern and high tech. Flat screen TVs, various comms, smooth and new tables - and best of all, swivel office chairs!
I have seen it all now. I bus with blue lights and sirens responding...I am pretty sure I could hear you creaming yourself when it came over the brow of the hill lol
+policevids999 You haven't seen a fire drone responding yet though ;-) I know right - a big red bus, with lights and sirens!!! I was creaming myself as it came over the bow of the hill, and at 1:08 you can actually hear me about to gasp in excitement. I've edited off the end of the clip, but if we meet up again for some spotting - I'll show you and you can hear me let out my madness lol.
+BluelightTV Yeah I know right! Very rare. Only catch of one of these in the country ;) Shopping trip turned out to be spotting trip. This was on its way to a large fire in the north of the county. Unfortunately, despite checking my mobile, I didn't find out until getting home. It'd take at least two hours to get there now, and looking at the photos it looks like there wont be much to see by the time I get there in the dark.
+CobraEmergencyVideos it was in the Worcester news paper didn't hear about this one!Sorry can't watch it because we have to be some were by then sorry!
while we have numerous buses used as command posts and large capacity ambulances and plenty of videos of them here in Germany, this is the first video I see from such a bus ni England
+EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos I know right. It's very very rare here in the UK. Yeah I've seen many videos of them in Germany, and a few in the U.S. what with the FDNY's MERV & MTRU trucks. Was well pleased.
I had a video on my previous channel of Gloucestershires Incident Commant Unit turning out. It's near enough the same as H&Ws one. Also an X Reg with nearly identical livery and same lights
+999dave1992 Oh wow awesome. You ought to re-upload it mate! It's a gorgeous truck that one at Cheltenham, just like this one at Malvern. Both are gorgeous stations in lovely Spa towns too!
+RascarDK I know right! Well buses have been converted for a few fire services here in the UK too - how-ever they're very very rare, and old too as most are going out of service. Was well pleased ;-)
I would love to see this very unique beast I've never seen a fire unit bus before lol I thought I was seeing things when I seen a pic of it on google!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Seems odd for there to be a bus, but actually, the more I think about it, the more sense it seems to make. I'm sure I've passed actual fire stations with less real estate than the inside of one of those!
+Andy Daley Ah so he has. He's filmed the West Sussex Dennis Dart twice! Darn, ruins the moment! =D I searched for 'Dennis Dart' 'Dennis Dart Command Unit' 'Fire Dennis Dart' 'Dennis Dart Fire Truck' 'Dennis Dart Fire Appliance' 'Fire Service Dennis Dart Command' and also searched for 'Fire Command Unit'. He didn't put Dennis Dart in any of his titles or descriptions. As for 'Fire Command Unit', there's loads of results. Thanks for the information! Corrected my description now.
It says on the front in G R E A T B I G L E T T E R S that this is a Command Support Unit, so do why don't you call it that! It's NOT a bus. "Oh I'll just call this a bus." It might be based on a bus chassis, BUT IT IS NOT A BUS! It's a Command Support Unit. Oh I know I'll call fire engines lorries from now on. Well there are based on lorry chassis, so yeah I'll just do that.... and ambulances; well there just vans aren't they? I normally like your videos, but I find this stupid title really annoying. Can you tell?
+Jordan Goddard Thanks mate!!! Aha yes I've been wanting to catch this for some time - I still haven't seen it all, but I have seen a lot of it all! ;-) Next is the Land Rover that's based at the same station as this.
+gimboyblue1990 I KNOW RIGHT!!! I WAS SHIPOOPING MYSELF WHEN I SAW THIS!!! Thankyou sauce, mate! Nah I like to keep my titles simple, but yeah it is VERY SUPER DUPER ULTRA RARE ;-) What's even more rarer is the Incident Response Unit I caught last year, but that's so freaking rare that not many people have watched it lol. With this catch though - this has hit the brick in the fireplace right here. Can't stop watching it over and over myself! ;-)
+CobraEmergencyVideos Lol I see you've even honoured it by making it your profile pic! Sweet... And shucks you're making me jealous... So many super rare catches! From Doomsday truck to incident response to this... You do have a playlist/compilation dedicated to these uber rare catches don't you?
+l1nds290 They're to report the status of the incident well the vehicle is being used as a command point on the incident ground. I'm asking them now on twitter what the specific colours mean.
+l1nds290 I asked on Twitter. The fire station (@HWFireMalvern) that own this said that; The lights refer to the tactical mode of the incident. GREEN - Is used to tell the firefighters to be offensive on the ground AMBER - Used to be used to show a transition between two statuses RED - Is used to tell the firefighters to be defensive on the ground Offensive means the firefighters can tackle the incident in the risk area (E.g. in the burning building) Defensive means the firefighters have to tackle the incident from outside the risk area at a safe point (E.g. spraying water over a fence at a burning building)
+james hannon Providing command control of incidents. So fire officers can work together with other emergency services to discuss an ongoing incident and bring it to an end quickly but also safely as possibly making sure there are no casualties or any casualties are rescued & treated.
Definitely! When ever I see it I will always film it, no matter what. I filmed it on-scene to a warehouse fire last year: ua-cam.com/video/DmgA7_UnaHk/v-deo.html
CobraEmergencyVideos Dennis Bus became TransBus International in 2001, and then Alexander Dennis in 2004. The last Darts with this 5.9 litre 6 cylinder Cummins engine were registered in September 2001, with October 2001 onwards registered Darts (except the longest 11.3m length) downsizing to a 3.9 litre 4 cylinder Cummins engine with common rail injection and therefore more turbo boost to compensate; as of late 2006 the Dart's replacement, the Enviro200, is fitted with a 4.5 litre 4 cylinder Cummins engine except the longest 11.3m length which has a 6.7 litre 6 cylinder Cummins engine. The recently introduced Enviro200 MMC uses the 4.5 litre 4 cylinder Cummins engine all the way up to the 11.3m length thanks to the turbocharger being of Variable Geometry type, and there is a new longer 11.8m length which replaces the Enviro300 and does have the 6.7 litre 6 cylinder Cummins engine.

A bus converted to a fire truck
East Lancs bodied Dennis Dart built as a command vehicle.
I've never seen a video of one of these. Lovely to see in action.
It is lovely to see in action - a proper British appliance that!
When your bus is late...
Absolutely brilliant catch here lad, regards to other comments its Dennis Dart East Lancashire Spryte powered by a Cummins 6BT Engine and Allison World Series gearbox! :)
+M.R.P_Videography Thanks mate!
And thanks for the information - it's a brilliant looking beast.
+CobraEmergencyVideos Not a problem, hardly ever see videos of the Fire Services Buses on the go such a good catch! Aye no bother like! :-)
Same! Was glad to get this
that is uber rare! well done!
+BlueLightWatch I know right mate. Well pleased. Thanks.
Great catch!
+ThePolicefreak Thanks mate ;-)

Awsome catch m8 never seen one of these before =D ive gad loads of internet problems D: when can i efer be active?
+Badger emergency responses Thanks!!! I know right.
Take it easy, we all have internet problems - some more than others...
wonder if some old person has put their arm out to hail that to stop before lol
When you've waited all day for a bus and it doesn't stop!
That things cool
This to me is hilarious. Darts aren't really the fastest buses around but at least it wasn't a Volvo B6.
+Charlotte Clarke Aha no they're not. But they seem like they do the job well in terms of space for carrying equipment.
Charlotte Clarke Speed isn't necessary, the point of blue lights and sirens is to minimise stopping at lights and junctions and avoid traffic jams.
What do the green, orange and red lights mean on the back of the fire engine/bus?
It's to show a night light
Didn’t Gloucestershire run one of these
They did. Looked very similar!
Yk theres a optare solo sr commander?
Yeah the London Fire Brigade now have them.
Fire bus to the rescue
+Coastliner700 , Yep that's right!
What the hell was that!? Never seen such thing
+Dini shire Ahmed Shire I know right!

+Karen Occardi I know right!
its the other transmition i thoughtso a squeaky toy made good lol
OK number 1, what the fuck is this monstrosity I'm witnessing and 2, what could they possibly be responding to at turtle pace?
buses in the UK during late 90s were very powerful
I am from america, and wtf is that truck?
SKY-911☆CS:GO☆ It's a command and control unit built by a bus maker. Used on major incidents as an operational control centre for coordination of emergency services.
As explained by Sarge, thanks Sarge!

WTF WOW.
+GrievousGaming Yeah my reaction as well hah!
Thanks
Bet the equipment in it is as old as the bus. #cutshaveconsequences
+999madtom Actually I've been inside - it's very modern and high tech. Flat screen TVs, various comms, smooth and new tables - and best of all, swivel office chairs!
That's unfair! :P Our SJA control doesn't have swivel chairs but everything else.
Aha lol.
Game fighter Captain America soldier Ki Kar
Good god that Honda is ugly
Yes it is - what about the Dennis Dart big red bus? :P
CobraEmergencyVideos That is actually quite neat
Goood
One of a rare few catches of these in the UK.
First ever catch of this particular one.
😍😍😍😍🚹👙🚢💤💍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👄💕💘💝💞💋👄
At least I know west used aren't the only ones who have a bus!!
+RTTV VIDS great gramma from me, I meant at least I know w st Sussex are the only ones that have buses
Aha! Yes aside from HWFR I think W Sussex are the only others with a bus command unit! I much prefer the bus as well.
south wales has a bus-like command unit- www.southwales-fire.gov.uk/English/operationalresponse/ourequipment/Pages/ControlUnit_vehicle.aspx
I have seen it all now. I bus with blue lights and sirens responding...I am pretty sure I could hear you creaming yourself when it came over the brow of the hill lol
+policevids999 You haven't seen a fire drone responding yet though ;-)
I know right - a big red bus, with lights and sirens!!!
I was creaming myself as it came over the bow of the hill, and at 1:08 you can actually hear me about to gasp in excitement.
I've edited off the end of the clip, but if we meet up again for some spotting - I'll show you and you can hear me let out my madness lol.
the function of this fire bus is entirely perfect
I'd never thought i'd ever see a video of one of these responding, great catch!
+BluelightTV Yeah I know right! Very rare. Only catch of one of these in the country ;)
Shopping trip turned out to be spotting trip. This was on its way to a large fire in the north of the county.
Unfortunately, despite checking my mobile, I didn't find out until getting home. It'd take at least two hours to get there now, and looking at the photos it looks like there wont be much to see by the time I get there in the dark.
+BluelightTV Thanks ;-)
+CobraEmergencyVideos Was it the fire in Worcester where a fight happened to turn out Into a massive blaze?!
When what where who why and when? o_O
This was a warehouse fire in Kidderminster, north of Worcester.
BBC Midlands Today 6:30PM, BBC one.
+CobraEmergencyVideos it was in the Worcester news paper didn't hear about this one!Sorry can't watch it because we have to be some were by then sorry!
That is awesome.. £1.09 for petrol!!!
while we have numerous buses used as command posts and large capacity ambulances and plenty of videos of them here in Germany, this is the first video I see from such a bus ni England
+EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos I know right. It's very very rare here in the UK.
Yeah I've seen many videos of them in Germany, and a few in the U.S. what with the FDNY's MERV & MTRU trucks.
Was well pleased.
i love the Command Support Dennis Dart Bus, cheers!
It's cool! Thanks
bus for people that are late
Just a bit hahahahaha
That denifintely has an Australian siren. Hazard systems 2000 i believe, standard siren in Sydney
Lfb also has a rescue unit equipped with that siren
Was a shock - not seeing the fire truck, but the price of unleaded petrol in the esso garage, compared to March 2022.
Now when I look back at this video, that's what I see!
Now when I look back at this video, that's what I see!
I had a video on my previous channel of Gloucestershires Incident Commant Unit turning out. It's near enough the same as H&Ws one. Also an X Reg with nearly identical livery and same lights
+999dave1992 Oh wow awesome. You ought to re-upload it mate!
It's a gorgeous truck that one at Cheltenham, just like this one at Malvern. Both are gorgeous stations in lovely Spa towns too!
Sadly 418 no longer exists. It was replaced by 2 new smaller Mercedes Sprinter Command Units based at; Wyre Forest (248) & Ledbury (428) respectively
Nice catch, would imagine that unit is very rare!
Oh yes very very rare! One of a kind catch in the UK.
CobraEmergencyVideos - Europe nice!
Wow super video Cobra, ultra-rare vehicle, especially in emergency, bravo! ;)
+Davide813 - Emergency Videos Thanks! It sure is Davide, it sure is!!!
I thought emergency fire buses was a german thing :P Nice catch indeed.
+RascarDK I know right! Well buses have been converted for a few fire services here in the UK too - how-ever they're very very rare, and old too as most are going out of service.
Was well pleased ;-)
I would love to see this very unique beast I've never seen a fire unit bus before lol I thought I was seeing things when I seen a pic of it on google!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It would be scary if you hear this passing your house around 2am when you are sleeping and living in a quiet street.
Now that's a big catch, great one :)
+RTobi (Rummeltobi) Thanks! It's awesome ;)
Seems odd for there to be a bus, but actually, the more I think about it, the more sense it seems to make. I'm sure I've passed actual fire stations with less real estate than the inside of one of those!
+Hibblejaybob Ahaha yep they're fancy those. But very useful for command situations.
I
With that venerable engine at the helm. Cummins B Series if my sources are correct
+BMWM3GTRLOVER yeah but i think it's transmition was either a zf or a voith if the latter that made my day
+BMWM3GTRLOVER Cummins B Series 145 BHP
correct ;-)
+Karen Occardi It's Allison
i thought so we had a dart V146 MVX its in motherwell and still sound the same a squeakytoy
Not easy to clear a passage in traffic with that !!
Nice video.
What camera do you use?
+Urgences Genève It sure isn't. A big red bus!
Thanks.
I use a Sony Cybershot DSC-HX300.
+CobraEmergencyVideos Thanks for information
If you check out Matt Browns youtube page, he has filmed the West Sussex Command Unit and Surrey Command Unit responding.
+Andy Daley Ah so he has. He's filmed the West Sussex Dennis Dart twice! Darn, ruins the moment! =D
I searched for 'Dennis Dart' 'Dennis Dart Command Unit' 'Fire Dennis Dart' 'Dennis Dart Fire Truck' 'Dennis Dart Fire Appliance' 'Fire Service Dennis Dart Command' and also searched for 'Fire Command Unit'.
He didn't put Dennis Dart in any of his titles or descriptions.
As for 'Fire Command Unit', there's loads of results.
Thanks for the information! Corrected my description now.

Well there are based on lorry chassis, so yeah I'll just do that.... and ambulances; well there just vans aren't they?
I normally like your videos, but I find this stupid title really annoying. Can you tell?
Can't you tell? It's a bus body and a bus chassis. Therefore, a bus.
Spryte looks great as this. Couldn’t picture any others like it, Pointers, ALX200s or Nimbuses would look completely stupid.
Citaros, Tempos and Paladins would look nice too
For those interested this is still on the road saw it today at the Kelsall Steam Rally
My first bus driver sat at the traffic for 2 seconds before like
Great catch 🚒
Thanks for watching :)
I have never seen anything like it, superb catch Cobra! =D
+fabian gaspari Thanks! :) It's super awesome.
Nice catch!
+Andrea Russo Thankyou :)
I
Bloody fantastic catch there mate, Just when you think you have seen it all as well :)
+Jordan Goddard Thanks mate!!!
Aha yes I've been wanting to catch this for some time - I still haven't seen it all, but I have seen a lot of it all! ;-)
Next is the Land Rover that's based at the same station as this.
Fantastic video!!

FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!!
+Ambulanzeitaliane Thanks!!1 =D
Dennis dart nice and it’s an east lancs body one which is rare

+garlic287 Aha yep.
Was It In Passenger Service Before?
Thats weird but also real cool ngl
thats the biggest carrier ive seen so far! awesome!! :D
+Wolfie frank It certainly is big! Thanks mate.
CobraEmergencyVideos no probs mate!

+LBC fire buff I know right, well pleased. Thanks mate.
Awesome!
+061zgz Thanks! ;-)
What if it pulls up to a bus stop? Do you just.... step on?
Yes. What else do you do?
That siren is a hazzerd system 1000 siren they use them here in Australia
As an Australian, im with u on that one. I think the CFA and NSW rural fire service use them on their tankers
Dennis dart fire engine? What???
Original catch !! Nice job my friend !
+Emergency Channel I know right! Thanks =D
Awesome Catch Bro! :)
+tornadochaser66 Thanks! Very rare here in the UK.
Excellent video mate, well done.
+Andy Daley Thanks Andy!
HOLY SHIT ON A STICK A COMMAND BUS???!!!
Awesome sauce, mate! You should label it as a super rare catch in the title! ;)
+gimboyblue1990 I KNOW RIGHT!!! I WAS SHIPOOPING MYSELF WHEN I SAW THIS!!!
Thankyou sauce, mate! Nah I like to keep my titles simple, but yeah it is VERY SUPER DUPER ULTRA RARE ;-)
What's even more rarer is the Incident Response Unit I caught last year, but that's so freaking rare that not many people have watched it lol.
With this catch though - this has hit the brick in the fireplace right here. Can't stop watching it over and over myself! ;-)
+CobraEmergencyVideos Lol I see you've even honoured it by making it your profile pic! Sweet...
And shucks you're making me jealous... So many super rare catches! From Doomsday truck to incident response to this... You do have a playlist/compilation dedicated to these uber rare catches don't you?

;-)
+CobraEmergencyVideos YES
=3
On the back of the vehicle there are green, orange and red lights in the middle , what are they for ?
+l1nds290 They're to report the status of the incident well the vehicle is being used as a command point on the incident ground.
I'm asking them now on twitter what the specific colours mean.
+l1nds290 I asked on Twitter.
The fire station (@HWFireMalvern) that own this said that;
The lights refer to the tactical mode of the incident.
GREEN - Is used to tell the firefighters to be offensive on the ground
AMBER - Used to be used to show a transition between two statuses
RED - Is used to tell the firefighters to be defensive on the ground
Offensive means the firefighters can tackle the incident in the risk area (E.g. in the burning building)
Defensive means the firefighters have to tackle the incident from outside the risk area at a safe point (E.g. spraying water over a fence at a burning building)
Nice catch!
Thanks
Just before I clicked the play button, I heard a Command Support vehicle and several sirens passing my residence...
+Andrew De Jesus Aha okay =D.
You live near Kidderminster then?
CobraEmergencyVideos Don't know where that is lol I live very far south
Oh okay. :o
CobraEmergencyVideos Yes, very mysterious :p
Eso es un bus?
The party buss 🤣
That is so cool!
Awesome catch!
+E655Caimano Thanks ;-)
Weirderst... fire... engine...ever!
+Kian Corrie It's a bus painted red
+Kian Corrie It's certainly very unusual looking!
Stephen InGermany I can Kinda See that !
;)
Kian Corrie It's a command and control unit, basically a control room on wheels, not a fire fighting appliances.
wow amazing catch!! , nicely filmed too !
+kyranbrw Thanks ;). One of the best.
The only bus to arrive on time 😏
What's it used for
+james hannon Providing command control of incidents. So fire officers can work together with other emergency services to discuss an ongoing incident and bring it to an end quickly but also safely as possibly making sure there are no casualties or any casualties are rescued & treated.
I
I
noice man 🙌 very rare i think 😓
+DasJoschiLP It sure is. It's the first and only catch ever. Thanks! =D
Sweet catch!
Thanks
Oh sheesh kabab! It's the fire station with wheels!
+CobraEmergencyVideos lol
I
Hey Cobra can u try and get more footage of this bus as it seems to be on of a kind video
Definitely! When ever I see it I will always film it, no matter what.
I filmed it on-scene to a warehouse fire last year:
ua-cam.com/video/DmgA7_UnaHk/v-deo.html
more please woul love to see a volvo b10m voith as one that would make my day
+Karen Occardi That'd be quite difficult but you never know ;)
Awesom catch!
+PFDChaseVids Thanks.
Very very nice!!!
+BlaulichtBasel Thanks ;-)
didn't think they still made Dennis , thought it was all MAN or Mercedes
+Huw Jones No they don't. This one is from the year 2000. They stopped them in 2007.
It's mostly Scania now, and quite a few MANs, Mercedes & Volvos.

Yep that is very very rare fire engine bus!
+Princes Anna I know right, thanks!

But it's a bus that's been converted into a command unit.
very nice bus
+MrLukasz911 Thanks and Happy New Year! :)
