Back in 1969 the tower ballroom at New Brighton on the Wirral went went on fire. It quickly became a 20+ pump job. Fire fighting was hampered by poor water supply and the tide was out in the nearby river Mersey. The day was saved however as all 6 green goddesses based on the Wirral were mobilised to set up a relay from the marine lake half a mile away. Water relay was the prime purpose of the AFS pumps firefighting was secondary.
Great to see Salvation Army fire response team arriving, These guys are always there at large fires, pity they don’t advertise what they do so public know what they do, I always donate to the Sally Army least you know where your money is going and not to pay massive wages like some charities. Well done to the salvos.
@@SS_SpottingUK Thanks for the video. Couple questions from the US, just from curiosity: Firstly, does the SACU have a toilet on board? (Where I work, our 'rehab' units do - though they prefer us to enjoy the catering without leaving anything "in return", so to speak!) Secondly - situations such as this, where I'd imagine most county resources have been dispatched - would mutual aid be backed in to stations to maintain some level of coverage for other calls?
@@TomCro73 No, our SACU is purely just catering only, We have a different unit called a "Welfare Unit" which will provide the toilets. And yes most likely other units would step in from our county to different stations to provide Cover.
@@Tom-lh3cj when you say going to charity what do you mean? The Salvation Army is both a church and a charity. If you are saying only 20% of all donations to SA is going towards their work, then with all that they do worldwide Provides schools hospitals shelters care homes etc etc to name just a few things , then they are doing far more than others even if you claim on just 20%. I’m sure you have your facts wrong. If you look at the salary they pay their workers and even the top job their General is on only a modest salary. Surely then with everything that’s 100% of money going to do their work.
I wonder were prime mover KNM was🤔. KNO is assigned to Preston with KNM to Leyland, yet its KNO that brought the bowser- which is based at Leyland. Guessing KNM was at workshops unless the prime movers have switched.
Unfortunately I would not have a clue as a MAN Prime Mover brought Prestons BASU Which would've been KNO But that was at Leyland so KNM Mustve been at Workshops..
@@seansean9675 yes, but if you don't know the station codes you're forked... I know every town and village in the UK, but I don't know every fire station code for any station that happens to reside in there. I'm interested in make-ups and stand-bys, but definitely not the new (and ridiculous and hardly ever used, national codes.)
It always makes me nuts when police vehicles block access for fire apparatus. They can keep the lane closed to civil traffic and still allow fire rigs through!
It's alot easier on that situation to keep that lane closed as there was alot of Civilian traffic at the time and the Fire Appliances was able to go to the job via committing the wrong way off the roundabout
Okay for 1, For situations where they can not get the helicopter out they put the crew into a Advanced Trauma Vehicle to get them to the victim. And 2, show some consideration!
It didn't, it would take longer for the car to move and give traffic the confusion of going onto the prom behind the appliances. It was more easier for the appliances to go against trafficm

It's rumoured that this fire caused over a million pounds of improvements to Blackpool.

Brings back memories attending major incidents.

SACU - Fire catering team for all emergency crews onscene.

Only 20% of there profits going to charity worldwide

Brilliant catch 👏 👌
Brilliant vid great content well put together
1:50 that guy was just late for lunch. Coast guard be like...nope nothing to see here!
Literally 😂
Great video, do like Blackburn's Rosenbauer AT stinger, (water tower/pump).
Great vid I've loved firefighters since a young age and where is it happening?
Blackpool - Queens Promenade
Great video mate

@@SS_SpottingUK am looking to visit Leyland in the coming weeks so will ask👍
Great catches, but those callsigns mean foxtrot-alpha to most people watching this video, please put the station names in the future.
it is the designation of the fire engine type, not related to the fire stations that they came from

I'd rather of seen the hotel burning not some saddo into emergency vehicles
@@trevstreasurehunts9701 it's "I'd rather HAVE seen...". Not "of". So not only are you rude, you're also stupid.
@@seansean9675the number relates to the station. The other guy commenting is right.

@3:07 is that a snorkel water jet ?
No it's a Stinger. It's peirce bricks and tiles etc then sprays water so firefighters don't have to go inside
@@SS_SpottingUK similar to the devices used by airport crash/fire/rescue to punch holes in airplane fuselages and inject water?
@@zyglo9826 yeah
More fire officers than firemen.
I Got there fairly late when the MP12 was transmitted hence the more fire officers over appliances as alot had previously arrived before I arrived.
Why do asso cars get in the way !!!
Which hotel was it
New hackets.
Is this Gunn Square?
Yeah it is.
@@SS_SpottingUK thank you, I spent many of a holiday in the Sandridge Holiday flats and I thought that the building looked familiar.
@@billyweir714 Aye no worries.
1:10 air ambulance my ass! That thing is on the ground!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Funny it was set fire prior to demolition.
2 youths set it alight.. then it was unstable and had to come down.
Lancs FRS using swedish made sirens on officer cars. 😎
That police car needed to be moved . It is in the way for the fire services
It didn't, it would take longer for the car to move and give traffic the confusion of going onto the prom behind the appliances. It was more easier for the appliances to go against trafficm
Boring
Well then don't watch simple
“Salivation Army” 🤣
So your trying to make fun of people's spelling? That's very mature of yourself. Must be so proud.
