Fires back then were small or didn’t contain any toxic materials that’s why they wore light gear today the fires we have are toxic or industrial meanings it will take a long time to extinguish also that it is toxic that is why you will need heavy protection
The modern kit is much more protective of far more sorts of fires and acrid smoke, I'd take the new stuff thank you very much. Some people have this silly attachment to how good it was that we didn't give one about health and safety in the past when that meant that more people died early fully preventably and that there was more pain and misery - let's not go back!
@@hadtobethere1328 back then most stuff was made out of just wood now there’s a whole buncha composite building materials that burn way hotter and faster than ordinary class A combustibles and release way more toxic chemicals n carcinogens. Doesn’t even have to be building materials either can be something as simple as a polyester blend fabric couch everything now releases an insane amount of toxic chemicals when burned
Lovely to see Finchley fire station in its Middlesex heyday.
Why wouldn't it be in its heyday now? Is the current station somehow not rescuing enough people? 🤔
The snooker tables STILL there, and original!
Climbing those 2 laders looks crazzy
I did it all and it was great fun!
Tuff men !!! Glad we have evolved some !! But a lot of the tuff hardworking men are nowhere around anymore!!
I was a fireman in the 60not a lot changed then
But now its different. Good
Nice.
I feel so blessed I didn't have to do any of this 😂
Brave men . They hadn't got the equipment modern firefighters have today

Abandoned pipe on an open newspaper. In a fire station?
The Luftwaffe taught them good 🔥
Just as RAF Bomber Command taught the German firemen.
❤
They really were proper men back then firefighters today have it so handy compared to then these were real firemen

@@Ecstasy-91 All fires are toxic even back then. They wore light gear because they only had light gear.

I hope they didn’t get woken up to do this lazy guts then as now.
That's when FF's were heros. Now they are over-paid babies crying for more money.
