[Dubai] Fire Trucks Responding From Al Etihad Civil Defence Station
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2018
- Captured here is a rare video of the Dubai Civil Defence (DCD) responding from Al Etihad Fire Station (Union Station in English) for a structure fire. Seen responding were a command/ light-rescue car, an engine and a tanker, the regular fire assignment in Dubai. The fire call came in at around 10:20pm on a Thursday night and firefighters quickly raced towards downtown Dubai. All units returned about one hour later, and I was able to get a quick tour of the station.

Impressive catch, really living up to the "Global" in your name! Also a GMC Suburban, and two Mercedes-Benz Rosie trucks... who would've thought Dubai would be the place to see this combination?
Fire Phoenix Emergency Videos 火鳳凰特殊車輛影視 Thank you very much Jimbo, I do what I can ;D
Oh yea, the Middle East can be full of surprises haha
Dubai is one of the places to go hunting for emergency cars!! haha
Seems like they renamed the station because when I was there it was called the Al Satwa Fire Station. You can be lucky to catch them on video because I had to wait 3 days for the same trucks to respond. A lot of people also told me that it was forbidden to take pictures of government vehicles, nevertheless I did not have any problems during my journeys and they also allowed me to get inside the station. I also noticed in your video that they don't have the aerial platform anymore. They probably moved it to another station.

Thank you for the comment! :)
Yes you’re right, I actually noticed the name change by watching your videos from Dubai. I assume they changed it to ‘Union Station’ in preparation for the 2020 Expo (also written on the command car). Indeed I was much more lucky than I ever could have imagined. I had honestly gone to this spot to catch some ambulances and police cars, but never expected the fire station to get a call. So when the bell rang (only about 20 mins after I got there!) I was so confused and surprised that I started recording a little late... 😆
The biggest irony was that I didn’t even catch any police or ambulance responses there, only the rare fire trucks! I noticed that they had some additional trucks parked behind the station, so maybe the platform was there?
I had also heard things about the laws in the UAE against recording emergency services. Due to this I actually wrote an email to the Civil Defence before my trip, asking for a statin visit, but no luck via the official route. As far as I know it is illegal to record government installations, including civil defence stations, but the vehicles are usually fine. After all Dubai would not always be buying fancy super cars for their emergency services if they didn’t want them seen around the world. I also found that the firefighters were very welcoming and did not mind my recording or station visit at all. Overall it was a good experience, only the weather was much too hot and humid in the summer (filmed this clip at 53 degrees with sweat running into my eyes)... 😅
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses They changed the name to Etihad to coincide with the change in the name of the road from Al Diyafah to 2nd December Street, this was in line with the opening of the Etihad museum at the end of the road where it meets Jumeriah Road to commemorate the signing of the declaration of 6 rulers to form the Union.
Mohit Masand Thank you for the information.
Finally you upload it, and man it was great! They have very unique units in that station. Yet again, amazing catch Tim!
Metro Vancouver Emergency Hey man it’s only been like a week since I recorded this?! 😂 They sure do, and I love seeing European trucks in that yellow livery. Thank you very much Vic!
I’ve been there 7 times for over 11 days each time, and I only saw fire brigade responding once ( we book a hotel right next to a fire station every time ) one of those buildings was on fire and I saw 5-6 rigs responding
I guess I got REALLY lucky to be able to record this video then!! 😆
TGG - Global Emergency Responses yes you were, I was leaving in 2 days so I was lucky too😂
Excellent video Timur. Glad you caught this!!
Thank you my friend! You have no idea how good it felt to get a super rare catch like this! :D
Nice catches! I didn’t see any civil defence responding at all when I was in Dubai
000 Responses Thank you! ;D How long were you there for? They don’t respond often, this station only turns out every two days! Basically only for confirmed fires. Ambulances and police are more commonly seen in the city.
do they not respond to traffic accidents or is there also a normal fire department?
Amazing catch more of dubai please!
Wow ! Very rare to see the Dubai fire department responding ^^ It seems that all the vehicles have a problem with blue lights, lots of them are not working. Very awesome catch my friend ;)
Thank you my friend!! Yes so rare that in fact I was almost not prepared to film them, since I was not expecting them to respond from that station at all (I had been waiting there mainly for ambulances and police cars lol).
I’m not sure about the lights, but I think only the one grille light of the tanker was broken in this clip. I could imagine that they break more easily in the Dubai climate due to extreme heat, dust, and humidity. While I was here it was 58 degrees with very high humidity! :o
OMG 58 degrees! Fortunately you caught them :))
In Poland - we use red and white trucks
In Dubai - yellow trucks
Quite an interesting detail is that sand from the desert on the road
awesome Video,big big like dude !
Thank you very much my friend!! ☺️🙏🏼
That's such a cool video! Very nice man! :)
Thank you my friend! As you can imagine it was insanely lucky for me to capture this! 😅
Definitely! :D Imagine staying there all day long for this shot... with close to 60 degrees :P
Imagine waiting all day in that weather and then getting nothing!! I don’t want to imagine...I had already lost a few liters of sweat while filming this 😝
very cool vid timur. i luv ur travel vids
Thank you very much Marlene! ;D
nice Job keep it up
TGG - Global Emergency Responses
Ramsey love Thank you! I will ;)
Awesome catch, business as usual ;)
You're damn lucky at some places. Btw I recently uploaded the video of the enormous 55 bay fire station which we talked about. The new part is still under construction but you can already see the size of the entire station
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos Thank you very much! ;D I can’t deny that I got extremely lucky at this station. I honestly only went to this roundabout to record some ambulances and police cars, I was not expecting anything from the fire station since they respond so rarely and I didn’t have much time... But then the bell rang and I saw them running (always a great moment) 😁
Ah I see, very cool. I will have to check that video out soon 👍🏼
Great catch!
Odessa Rescue Thank you! ;D
AWESOME VIDEOS! I love seeing other countries
Thank you! :D
Awesome video my friend! It’s was first time seeing Dubai emergency vehicles for me! 3:01 the dudes just looking at you.
Thank you my friend, I appreciate it! ;D
Haha yea, some people just have no idea why I film emergency vehicles lol
TGG - Global Emergency Responses your welcome!
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses Hey do you own the clips?
@@PhoenixBlox Yes I do.
Interesting and great catch :)
Thank you very much my friend! ;D
Good to see some hi-lo and yelp there
Engine 997 has some wiring issues, no rear warning? Atleast 1 in front was out and that rare for LEDs to do a whole burn out like a strobe or halogen would do. Also when they got back to quarters, the water tank management system light right rear area where not lit up at all.
What did they extinguish?
3:43 nice fire van they got there
Great catch😁🤙
Blaulicht Ratingen Thank you! ;D
Nice man!!
Police Fire and EMS Response Video's Thank you! :D
Nice Video! 👍🏼
BOSMitteldeutschland - Einsätze und Alarmfahrten Thank you! ;D
Very great catch
Thank you!
Very good one !!
tg757 Thank you my friend! :)
Very nice!
Thank you ;)
Nice video.
Göksel Bahtiyar Thank you! ;D
Great catches :D Awesome. If you visit the city of Mertert, you'll get surprised if you visit the Fire and Rescue Station "Mertert-Wasserbillig" (Centre d'Incendie et de Secours Mertert-Wasserbillig), you'll may catch the heavy rescue vehicle with crane (RW-K), which was acutally designed to run in Dubai. Fun fact is, that it even ran in Dubai (unfortunately, they couldn't tell me on which station the truck was based), and the Fire Station "Mertert-Wasserbillig" bought it from DCD. That's the reason, why the truck is acutally in a yellow base colour. The typical dark yellow colour isn't to be found, but the used red as second coulour. And the RW-K is also higher than their usual fire trucks.
Thanks my friend! :D Very interesting information, are there any pictures of it?
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses yeah, I was able to take some photos of it, during a photo shoot. Unfortunately there wasn't much space to take some good photos.
Majestic!
Thank you my friend!! ;D
Nice catch! I'm really surprised that you managed to catch these lot, as not many others have Dubai Emergency Vehicles on video!
Just a quick question, how long does it usually take for you to catch a few vehicles responding, cause I probably won't last an hour standing outside a station waiting for vehicles to respond!
Also, a while back, there was a survey on whether you would try and get catches from Singapore, Malaysia or Indonesia.
Which did you go to?
Depending on which city's firestations you go to, and how many calls they receive per day, can greatly influence your probability of catching something. You can go in a town and stay a few minutes and everything might turnout (but that takes A LOT of luck). In short, and also depending what time you go to a firestation, if you're lucky, you're good but then if you're not you, have to go to it when it's the "busiest" time of your city (in general). In Strasbourg (France) for example, going at the firestation between 5pm and 8 pm, it's better, because people come back from work or people are just hanging out outside or indoors and something might happen... But obviously, fires and all that can happen at anytime.
Thank you! I also didn’t expect to get this catch, because they only respond every two days or so! I was at the intersection trying to film ambulances and police cars, but then the fire station got a call!
Good question. It always depends. Getting a good video can be time consuming and frustrating, it’s all up to where you go, how well you do your research, and what time you’re there. For this clip I only had to wait 20 minutes, but that is extreme luck. If you want to have a chance to catch fire trucks from a station you should be prepared to wait at least an hour, minimum. Some people wait a whole day (again it depends on where you are, there are big differences between North America and Europe for example) some people wait 6 to 8 hours, I personally don’t like waiting more than 3 hours at one place or station...
Correct, and Singapore came out on top! I was planning to go there for a few days to film, but sadly my plans didn’t work out for this summer. However I still have some Singapore videos in store and will upload some very soon to honor the vote! Malaysia and Indonesia are also still on my list of course and I will make sure to get videos from there one day. 👍🏼
Great catch :D
Thank you! Glad you like it ;D
never seen a Dubai emergency response :D
As someone who lives in the uae the number one place to go to catch civil defense or ADPD is hamdam street fr some shit always going on
Nice!
Valley Emergency Photography Thanks dude!
How lucky you are:)
Antonio Gravita FirePoAm VERY VERY lucky on this catch 🤩
Why is it called a defence station
Awesome Video! Lucky to see those, both for you and for us viewers, as there are almost no videos of those existing. Qatar also has very nice vehicles, maybe an idea for your next trip? :P
Thank you very much my friend!! :D
Yea those are the kind of videos I love to share, but as you know it’s never easy... Haha I would not mind filming in Qatar, maybe I’ll have the chance one day, you never know ;P
Do the not have hydrants? Looks like a lot of tankers.
They do have hydrants, but I’m not sure how their system works. Being out in the middle of the desert probably makes things a bit harder. Only the last truck in this convoy was a tanker.
Nice
Thanks!
I catch them everyday, sometimes twice! I live less than 100 mts behind that fire station. 🙈
Clearly that dude who filmed it made the call😂😂
Lol in that case I would have had to set a fire in the downtown area and somehow teleport back to the station in time to film the response... 😂
would you look at that tourist luck XD
surprised you didn't get toasted in that heat and dryness :P
mlps93 Haha can’t deny this was MASSIVE luck! They turn out every two days on average, and I only waited 20 mins for a confirmed fire response!! 😆
Lol I did actually, it was 53 degrees that night (58 during the day, impossible to film). And contrary to common belief it is not dry in the city, but SUPER humid there during the summer (the haze and humidity stick around Dubai). So filming outside was unbearable, I had sweat running into my eyes while I recorded this and almost messed it all up... 😅
TGG - Global Emergency Responses
that's eerily quiet for a fire station in such a populated place, I'm assuming they don't bother with things like AFA and lift rescues?
and i thought HK humidity was bad
now all of a sudden -50 wind chill seems more attractive haha
mlps93 Yes very quiet, but just because of the way things are structured there. The civil defence only responds to fires as far as I know (and they also have quite a few stations all over Dubai). Medical emergencies, and most accidents are handled by the ambulance service, police and some kind of rescue squad (haven’t quite figured out that system lol). The AFA responses seem to be rare because they probably have a system where private security will check alarms first and only then call the fire department if necessary. So basically they’ll end up responding for confirmed fires...
Yea no, 58 degrees with high humidity is about a bad as it gets...you almost can’t breathe 😆
Their trucks need more emergency lights
Can I use first clip for tribute
No, you are not allowed to use any of my content unless you buy a license to use it.
Ok I’ll not
So they have shopping cart thieves even in Dubai.
Wow :O
That was also my reaction 😂
Will you made about Dubai's police forces, I kinda like if they use super cars as police car's true or not.
I tried, but you don’t see those super cars very often. It is true that they have them in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but they are not used for everyday patrols. The super cars are usually for publicity and only brought out for special events, famous VIPs etc.
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses Thanks for your answer, I'll like to see what they use cars for everyday patrols. I mean everyone (including me) only hear that they use super cars as police car so you can prove it that they not just use super cars.
Maxx Toan No problem. They mostly use Toyota or Nissan SUVs for everyday patrol and responses. There are some videos on TH-cam if you search for ‘Dubai Police Responding’. You can also check my Instagram, I have a picture there!
Rosenbauer, made in Austria :-)
HEY IM BACK... Looks like i missed alot of videos... hope u miss me 😝
Sufi SAVAGE Heyy welcome back! Haha sure...get back at it with the savage comments!! 😂👌🏼
TGG - Global Emergency Responses HAHAHAH 😂
how yall guys like my country ;)
Wish they used Mack and Pierce fire engines
I’m sure that’d look cool!
I wanna see them respond on two wheels
What...?
The fire department in Dubai looks like it was trained by the Germans
Spencer Matthews That’s because they actually were trained by German firefighters! 😄👍🏼
Ca ne doit pas étre tres riche cette ville , la led flash de gauche du FA ne fonctionne pas .
Europe: Small engines for our small streets
North America: Large engines to battle bigger building fires
South America: American and European rigs to combat all conditions
Dubai: ***bruh what if we made massive fire engines that look like European engines but have more capabilities than an American rescue truck because money***
Very nice!
EinsatzRNK Thank you! ;D
