The White helmet with one stripe, was a station officer ,I don't know what the rank structure was in London. White with 2 stripes and 2 crowns (shoulder epaulettes) was an ADO ,and white with 2 stripes and 3 crowns was a full DO. I am talking about county fire brigades, don't know if London followed the national pattern
White helmet 12.5mm black band = Station Officer (two large impeller on collar) White Helmet 19mm black band = Assistant Divisional Officer/Station Commander (three large impeller on collar) White Helmet 1x 19mm Black Band plus 12.5mm Band = Divisional Officer/Group Commander (one large impeller surrounded by laurel wreath on collar) Fire officers don’t wear crowns on rank markings they wear impellers which generates centrifugal force in a fire pump to increase water pressure. Hope this helps
@@tigger1662003 cheers, i am only going on what was outside of london, yellow helmet with one black line (leading ff) ,yellow with 2 black bands (sub officer) ,white with one black band (station officer)
@@tigger1662003 thats ok mate, i know that the rank structures were slightly different in london, and i believe they have now returned to a proper ranking system again..
I have not seen the advertising yet but I bet 100% that they show the indigenous population. Watching tv advertising now you would think you were in an African country that has some white British people in it. It’s pretty shocking the structural racism that is getting demonstrated towards the indigenous population of this country.
@@CymruEmergencyResponder the English are indigenous to England. Read up on it, where the hell do you think they came from. The English are a mix of people that came in after the Romans left and intermixed with the Celts etc. The English are from what became England and they are not from anywhere other than place.
Interesting perspective of the fire service. Good reporting including basic statistics of fire related deaths, arson, and accidental fire activity.
Few retired faces in this. Thanks for up uploading. Happy days
30 years I served at the busiest station
.. Red watch SOHO ... where the streets are narrow and the shoulders are broad.
And TINNITUS from all those AFA’s 😉
"Oh wow, look the invoices have gone". Because people steal invoices then torch the building. Nothing else taken. Love to know how long he got.
