Huge clap for retained Firefighters by the way folks, who have other jobs, work and commitments outside of the fire service that they give up to protect the community. 👏
@@robertgibson7716 or maybe they just want to have the job they enjoy and protect the community??? Hardly Fire Brigade on the cheap when they’re using the same appliances as full time, does a favour, stop being a Tory….
Ayr Fire Station has now had its ARP taken off the run and replaced by a standard rescue pump. Aerial appliance cover for the whole of Ayrshire is now at Kilmarnock and Ayr will not receive another height vehicle due to cuts
Merseyside bought a new Scania CARP in 2008, it was 2 years before it went on the run due to failing the tilt test. After less than a year in service it went into the reserve fleet and was quickly sold on. Another lemon Merseyside bought was a Mercedes light pump, under powered, heavy steering and wandered all over the road, that was sold to Cheshire and became a rapid response motorway crash unit. Another one of their bright ideas was 2 Mercedes sprinter small fire units they were soon repurposed into something more useful.
Awesome video as always, Steven, Chris and Cameron!..... 🙂......... Well, i hope everything in the UK is getting cooler now after all the heat wave you all had to face....... Anyway, i hope that you three have an amazingly awesome day today and everyday........... stay safe, protected and blessed always! 🙂
I live in the smallest City in England and we and all the surrounding towns are all retained Fire Fighters as the nearest maned station is close to 20 miles away the dedication the Men & Women put in along with the local business to keep the community safe Respect to them all 🫡👏👏👏👏👏👏
But don't forget they get paid the same rate as wholetime firefighters. To many of them it is just another job. I know several that view it that way. I think the real heroes are volunteer firefighters because they get paid diddly squat. And I've been trying to think of England's smallest city, but I can't. You're gonna have to tell me.... 👍
@@stevewall3246 .... thanks for that, but I've just found out that The City of London is actually England's smallest city, both in geographical area and population. And their one station, Dowgate, with its single engine, is definitely wholetime.
@@YelpBullhorn They only get paid they same rate as wholetime on jobs lasting over 1 hour 15 minutes in my Brigade . Retained get paid for additional work like training and Community Fire Safety and for when they actually turn out , but the flat retaining salary is around £6-7,000 a year . I agree with your comments regarding volunteer firefighters , although they are at the very quietest and most rural stations .
@@shaunflanagan8735 yea it's sad to see a good ol truck leave the service but now we have even better technology to help save lives I also have a model of the arp!

Thank you.
SO 💫
fire brigade on the cheap if people did not do the retained service it would create many jobs in the service FULL TIME JOBS

@@robertgibson7716 what a stupid comment, so you want SFRS to pay 5 watches to sit in a rural station that gets maybe 20 turnouts a year...
Those huge CARPs are still amazing even all these years later, shame they don’t seem to be building them any longer.
They're pretty impressive to see! Unfortunately with all the issues they have had, UK fire services aren't looking to continue their use.
SO 🎪

Nice one mate, liked and shared 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒
Cool video! I loved it 😀
SO 🙄
very nice catch and respond. the pumpladder is very cool.
SO 🇧🇬
How long did you wait to catch this?
Thirty minutes, maybe less? We'd been at Prestwick Airport for a day of military aircraft so stopped by for a few minutes.
I like the Scania ARP (Aerial Rescue Pump) unit
Same yea arp is smart
ARPs are pretty cool! One of the reasons to film fire engines in Scotland :)
@@CobraEmergency thats right
ARPs are being eventually phased out and replaced by conventional ALPs and TLs over time
@@shaunflanagan8735 yea it's sad to see a good ol truck leave the service but now we have even better technology to help save lives I also have a model of the arp!
Awesome video
Probably a stupid question, but is the ARP fully staffed like a normal pump?, So first pump five crew second four?.
SO 🐋
Yep, 4 and 4

ooooooooooooooo🕷
Great video corba 😊
Awesome!

Awesome video boys 👍👍👍👍👍

I want to be a fire fighter when I grow up
When I saw the seaside, I was expecting it to catch fire, and a submarine fire engine rise up and fight the fire
That, would be a sight.
@@CobraEmergency 😆😆😆😂😂🙂🙂🙃🙃
So sonny what's the name of your special needs school ?
Nice catch but bet the appliance driver's got there first!
Ayr has a whole time crew plus a part time crew
Do they wait for a full crew or go with why they have?
rrrrrrrrrr😧
