It's known as the 'Water Unit' in Kent.

[@999EmergencyResponses]

Yeah I’ve heard some firefighters refer to it as the water unit and also other firefighters refer to it as the ‘Bulk Water Carrier’.

[@dannyhoward6690]

@@999EmergencyResponses it's on the Mobilising system as WU and when I was at Ashford it was alway called just that. Never heard anyone call it bulk water carrier.

[@999EmergencyResponses]

@@dannyhoward6690 fair enough mate 👍 I’ve heard it being called both from different people that work for KFRS. Anyways, hope you enjoyed the video 👍🚒

What does BWC stand for?

[@999EmergencyResponses]

Bulk Water Carrier.

[@yorkshire9998]

Nice catch! Bays so nearly closed on the BWrC then 🫣

[@999EmergencyResponses]

Thank you! And it was a close call with the
bay doors nearly closing on the Water Carrier!

[@yorkshire9998]

@@999EmergencyResponses that’s the good thing about the folding bay doors (if that’s what they’re even called) you have chance to activate the sensor to stop it colliding with the appliance, where as the roller doors you risk damaging the lightbar and whatever is on the roof of the appliance

[@999EmergencyResponses]

@@yorkshire9998 exactly mate! I’ve always thought these type of bay doors are much better than the rolling bay doors!

[@yorkshire9998]

@@999EmergencyResponses I couldn’t really comment on this one sadly because most the counties around me have the typical roller doors

[@999EmergencyResponses]

@@yorkshire9998 a lot of Fire Services in England have the roller doors. I much prefer the folding bay doors!
