Holy shit. Hope everyone was okay! I didn't even know there was such thing as a 9th alarm.. I thought it went to 8th. Is it because of smoke, flames, anything other?
In NSW they can call alarms as high as needed. Earlier this year there was a 17th Alarm in South Western Sydney. The bigger the fire the more resources they need to extinguish it. This fire involved a number of large factories with numerous gas cylinder explosions. Firefighters also had water supply problems and were working in 37˚ heat, so they needed a lot of crews.
Sydney Emergency...I’m an American and I know nothing about Australian procedures. How many appliances of various types respond on each additional alarm level?
What kinda ladder trucks is that. Why not use what we have in America, it's great equipment. Long ladders an powerful pumps. But this a pretty big fire, idk that the truck would make a difference tho. That's one hot puppy
Here in the UK we have both ladders and hight platforms. The platforms are good at getting into places that ladders can't get into. Depending on the type of call the standard turn out is two pumps and a hight unit
I don't think the US manufacturers export much beyond the America's due to cost vs quality... Who is there? Spartan? Pierce. The German Aerial Manufacturers; Magirus & Metz, plus Bronto From Finland sell all over the World and are much more technologically advanced. 100ft, 180ft, 210ft in ladders and platforms and even 397ft platforms.
The water transfer system is comprised of two components, a hose layer and a high volume pump. The truck lays several kilometres of 150mm large diameter hose, then uses the high volume pump on the rear of the truck to pump 8,000 litres of water per minute through the hose and to the scene, feeding other appliances on the fireground.
What fool decided to change from ‘FIRE & RESCUE NSW,’ to ‘FIRE + RESCUE NSW’? And which bunch of idiots agreed with it? It just looks wrong and doesn’t scan well at all. Also, I wonder what was the cost of producing new signage for vehicles, fire stations, uniforms and property?
There was 4 ladders at work on the fire plus numerous hose crews, not all of which are visible in the video as they were working all around the buildings.
There must have been water pressure issues. The hose on that articulated tower ladder was putting out a weak stream.
Is their a pdf or something showing what is sent everytime they call for a higher alarm? Or is it just send what is closest and most useful?

We do. E-One has installed Bronto Skylifts with articulated jib baskets.
Here in the UK we have both ladders and hight platforms. The platforms are good at getting into places that ladders can't get into. Depending on the type of call the standard turn out is two pumps and a hight unit

Do brown snakes cause electrical fires down there when they slither onto high voltage equipment?
Mainly drop bears falling onto power lines.
@@alleycat9884 And thats because the government doesnt give ground harnesses to the wildlife, only people
Wow 🤩
Explain the water transfer at the end of video. How does it work?
