    Total respect to all Emergency services you risk your lives to help the public without the support of the government. They cut your budgets but they still get paid for doing nothing in particular.
    God bless each and every one of you.

      Respect you do the best with what you have. London Councils don’t Put resources into the BRIGANDS Anymore. Because big fires are rare. But the Influx of immigrants with overloaded houses. Cooking with hot fat . When a fire starts they panic run away. Not even calling 999. Etc. apart from chemical fires. Home Hot fat pans cooking is very High incidence/. .. also sadly young kids Being burnt in Hot Fat Fires.

    The amount of BS calls that dispatch has to deal with today is mind boggling. I wonder what - if anything - is going on in the minds of kids that make those calls.
    When I was little, one of the lads from the local fire brigade lived next door. Never even dreamed about making any hoax calls. Had I done so and my parents had caught me making those calls (this was the 80s - land line only or public payphones)...I would have gotten a proper hiding, and rightfully so. Fire fighters were heroes to me back then and they still are now.

    One thing I can say from being a firefighter on the east coast of the United States is that the UK there's a lot different than here and it is generally amazing and I would love to see some of the stuff and gear that the fire brigade has and see it and use it in the u.s.a. because it just looks more organized but there's no stuff we have here such as the fire helmets I love the European style better than the stuff we have here because our helmets are so hard to fit and the so uncomfortable and our back of our necks are slightly less covered and the European style pretty much has all those bases covered

      That's ridiclous we also have a massive problem with frequent fliers but we've got a 10 min limit to reach the patient by law (so you call there's an ambulance there in max 10 min) we can't always keep it but there is basic medically qualified personel there within 10 min (we call those first responders and theyre sent by dispatch when they know the ambulance takes longer) just the transport capabilities take 20 maybe 30 if you're really rurally and your "emergency" is a lightly sprained ankle while there are 5 CPRs going (If one area consistently doesnt achieve the 10 then they get more ambos). Our transport ambulances with the absolute lowest prio have a 4-6 hour wait if its really busy .... for grandmas sitting home transfer after her CT came back clean. If you want to go to hospital bc your GP thinks it might be good to get a check up and you cant walk its there within 1h. And people still complain, heck the people (me included) working in our system complain 😅

      They have quite the short supply of Paramedics in the UK. At least have some ambulance run by the fire department and train some firefighters to become EMTs would help.

      You're forgetting that this would have had three ad breaks when it was shown on TV and that it was also switching between two or three stories, it's not uncommon for a show - at least in the UK - to reiterate what is happening in a scene when you return to it from an advert or another part of the show. It's also in case people stumble across the show while channel flipping.
