    Regardless of all the comments here, some negative,some positive, I do think this was a pretty quick response, by all the engines. Water on within a minute of arriving, FFs inside using the dry riser and within the flat quickly too. A big well done I’d say.

      @@EyeWatchThemAll That is because of the architecture of our buildings. Every apartment is a concrete box, with a minimum of one hour fire separation, so the only fire load was the furnishings. Just bounce the water off the ceiling, job done. To avoid getting smoke into the stairwell, they would not have opened the door to the apartment until most of the smoke had vented out through the windows.
      This method would certainly not have worked in the US or Canada.
      Even if within the apartment they had hollow walls, they end at the ceiling and do not run through. The walls are gypsum which is non combustible and the studding is light weight steel box sections, so there's nothing to burn.
      Even in older houses where hollow walls have wood laths, the walls do not run between floors. The party walls between houses in a terrace are still brick brick up through the loft and extend 18 inches above the roof in most cases, so fire cannot spread along the lofts.
      These regulations have been in place for more than 200 years.

      @@wilsjane Gee wiz I seem to recall Canadian pumpers all having booster lines. In fact most had 2. Water was poured the fire just as fast as on this video. But now days it's hurry up and wait. Booster/reel lines were the most valuable part of the pumper/engine. Heck even some ALF ladders came with a booster.
      The first truck in should have cancelled everyone else. They had it easily. But instead a mass congestion of rigs pile up with no command to delegate where they should go. Instead they all drove past the building and blocked everything off. No ariel unit sent that I could see...a tad odd. Maybe it was coming from the right side of the screen but couldn't make it past the blockage.

      We'll never learn. Too many dinosaurs in the American fire services. They enjoy taking 3 minutes untangling hundreds of feet of hose line for smaller fires like this. BUT...that longer, higher volume hose is needed for larger fires. Your dinky roll out hoses, although quick to deploy and appropriate for a fire like this, would be like trying to piss on a much larger fire {I must say though, that fully enclosed concrete flats/apartments (or homes) are much easier to fight with simply placing water on the fire from the outside as shown her. In all actuality, this fire was dying down as the fire department arrived due to most of the flammable materials had already been exhausted.].

THE ONLY thing i would like to ask as you are a current resident is have they put fire doors between the lift lobby and the stairwells now? that was my biggest concern back then that if a fire (god forbid) go out onto the lift lobby landing then the stairwell was open top to bottom and would act as a chimney and block the one and only means of escape due to smoke! ..i do hope they have made the stairwells more contained in the 3 blocks than they were back then!

    quite interesting.....I'm a retired Firefighter from the southern calif area.....when I was working, this water through the window would have been a "talking to"... I believe it is now a common practice to cool the room down from the outside before entry and extinguishment...the old thought was that the application of water would "push" the fire to uninvolved areas...

    •  Рік тому +3

      From the looks of blasted windows and the smoke, the fire is already fully developed and burning everything everywhere in the appartment. It looks relevant to do an immediate exterior attack to cool down as much smoke as possible and it looked effective when you see the giant cloud of steam coming out the other set of windows. We can't see very well but I guess the other high pressure hose has been used to do an interior attack. The exterior fireman then switched to peripheral cooling to avoid the smoke escaping through the windows to create more damage to the cladding.

    • @nevillemason6791
      @nevillemason6791 Рік тому +4

      An aerial ladder platform ('ladder company') would have been dispatched but maybe it was cancelled en route. This type apartment building is designed for internal firefighting as the priority. A dry riser is fitted the height of the building (connect a hose at ground floor externally and there's an outlet on each floor to connect a 2.5 inch hose). The building is clad in concrete panels so no issue like the Grenfell Tower disaster in London with inflammable cladding. Five pumps arrived from probably: Ashton (1.6 miles), Stalybridge (1.9 miles), Hyde (3.2 miles), Hollins (3.3 miles) and Mossley (3.7 miles). Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service have 41 stations covering about 500 square miles and a population of 2.8 million. Unlike the USA, in the UK each town doesn't individually operate it's own fire service. That system ended with the outbreak of war in 1939. The fire services cover much larger areas. In recent years they have expanded further (Scotland is covered by one organisation, as is Northern Ireland).

      Yeah they'll have sent the three initial "pumps" as standard for a tower block along with a ladder which will have been en-route from further away because they don't have those at every station. They're not usually needed. The "chief" or scene commander travels to the scene in the fire engine itself, they're the guys with the white helmets. On larger fires, higher ranking officers may arrive in their own cars but they're not dispatched as standard. We don't have seperate safety officers or rescue squads. The crew on the fire engine are all trained in procedures to mimic these "specialties" so we don't have separate vehicles usually. There ARE specialist technical rescue and water rescue squads in their own trucks, but again they aren't usually needed for fires. They're dispatched to traffic collisions and so on.

    Okay, the water came really quickly. But i am surprised by some things. No police, noone keeping traffic out, no ambulances. Did someone check if all the residents are fine?

I don't see ANY personnel from that engine attempting to make entry to do searches or evacuations. The alarm is sounding but that doesn't always mean everyone is out. The FDNY is the busiest and most prestigious Department in the United States, even going as far as teaching people around the world, even the British. Get off your high horse and respect those that built this job, you schmuck. Theres a method to their madness. You guys legit just killed ANYONE that was alive on the fire floor by steaming them alive since you put that stream through that window. Good job boy scount.

      @@patgeorge1 it may have worked this time but as he said, things happen as apparently with Grenfell. It's better to be safe than sorry with large scale buildings as the worst can happen. We do the exact same here in the states for large buildings and pre-plan for such emergencies where a high loss of life is potential. 4 or 5 members in a crew is ideal for interior attack, we do interior attack here in the states with much less - all we need is two in and two out for precaution. The first due unit's job is to establish water supply and get inside to find the fire and put it out as well as potentially locate any possible victims (which again is why you go interior, which they did not do, you treat all buildings as occupied until told otherwise). IC's decision was questionable and had this gone a bad way, he would be at fault for his actions.

      He's just suppressing the fire externally while the rest of the firefighters tackle the fire within the building. At 3:35 a firefighter connects a hose to the rear of the fire engine and unrolls it to connect to the ground level inlet on the building's 'dry riser'. The dry riser is a pipe running vertically up the inside of the building with outlets on each floor. A hose will be connected to the outlet on the floor where the fire is to fight the fire. This avoids dragging hose up what could be many flights of stairs. The action is all out of sight.

      Because they are tackling the fire from inside the building. At 3:33 a hose is being unrolled from the engine to connect to the building's standpipe (a pipe that runs vertically inside the building with hose connections on each floor). A hose is connected on the floor where the fire is and used to tackle the fire. Pointless using a ladder. You know nothing about tackling fires in multi-storey buildings.
