@@geraldoloughlin8307 FRU is a Fire Rescue Unit. (The trucks that look like pumps but are slightly bigger). A PDA is a pre determined attendance (A standard set of fire engines initially sent to a specific type of call, eg any high rise AFA will get 1 FRU, 5 pumps and a turntable ladder no matter what) And AFA stands for Automatic Fire alarm (actuating)
@@LondonEmergency999 my local brigade (Staffordshire) have different PDAs depending on what floor the incident is reported as being on: 3x pumps, no aerial, floors G to 4 3x pumps, 1x aerial, floors 5 to 9 4x pumps, 1x aerial, floors 10 to 14 5x pumps, 1x aerial, floor 15 and above. And no rescue unit.

Do LFB always send an FRU on the PDA for a high-rise AFA then? Because I can’t think of any other U.K. brigade to do so.
Nice catches by the way. 👍
Yes they do.
You know all the lingo...FRU. PDA. AFA. As a person who has followed the emergency services his whole life, I am intrigued to get a translation...lol

The FRU is part of the high rise AFA PDA for the extended duration BA capability
