    I agree with comments, what’s all this strolling about I was a full time firefighter at Waltham abbey for 28yrs we would have had two hose reels between those two buildings in less than a couple of minutes I thought we were supposed to “Save life and diminish damage to property “.

      the appliance timings for this job are rather interesting. Has Epping turning up at 12:24 and after Cheshunt, Ongar and 50A1. But of course this video proves otherwise. guessing booking in attendance came late.

      @@kevadams1964 the thinner hose is designed for house fires and compartment firefighting, lighter, less water, and it produces water droplets the correct size to control the fire without worsening conditions or steam cooking you. 51mm jet for bigger compartment fires or 70mm for outdoors predominantly.

    The first appliance only seemed to have a minimum crew. 4 riders, this is the result of all the cuts. You are very limited as how much you can do until further resources arrive. By the way, that fire had already spread to the roof of both houses before they even arrived.

    • @YelpBullhorn
      @YelpBullhorn 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      As has been pointed out by some keen-eyed observer today, Waltham Abbey is actually in Essex. The first Essex pump on-scene was from wholetime Loughton. It seems retained Waltham Abbey must've been busy or unavailable. The second pump was from retained Epping, the third was from over-the-border, presumably wholetime/retained Cheshunt in Hertfordshire. I believe the ALP was from wholetime Colchester, although Chelmsford's and Grays' aerials are closer. Didn't see any more appliances but it's likely that this incident progressed to make-pumps six, eight even. The appearance of the command support officer suggests it was a considerable attendance. Shame they lost three houses to a garage fire though.

    Good video report on what happens in case of poor judgement.
    How can it be that the two houses struck initially by the garage fire have most of their roof structure still standing, but the houses next to these have no roofs left?
    Because all the effort was made to extinguish the attic fires in those primary exposures, but no one thought of getting in the adjacent properties to check for spread of fire via the roof.

  • @thepymes
    @thepymes 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Agree that the first pump appears to pull up quite some distance from the fire but could there be a good reason for this? Based on the direction of the appliance, could it be that the Crew Manager spotted that fire had already spread to the eaves of the next house and therefore he anticipated that an aerial would be required? Further, the fact that an ALP is on scene fairly early in the incident given that there isn't one stationed anywhere near Waltham Abbey suggests to me that he called for the make up very upon arrival. Furthermore, It's difficult to establish exact timings as the video is clearly edited. However, the 1st crew appear to be dismounting the pump at 00:30 and 1st water goes on at 01:55 so that's less than 1 1/2 mins to start the initial attack. Whilst they could have been quicker, it doesn't seem excessive to me. Finally, by the time the HRFS arrived, the fire had clearly already spread to the roof of the adjoining house so it was always going to suffer significant fire damage.

    Please correct me if I’m wrong...couldn’t an aggressive interior attack in the house to the left (here in the US we would call it ‘exposure B’) have minimized the damage to that house? When it was clear that it was already becoming involved early on in the incident...heavy fire impinging on the exterior wall and interior extension likely, if not inevitable? Instead of just spraying the roof with a garden hose from the street (at 7:50) when the fire is obviously INSIDE the structure and not one drop of water is hitting the fire?

    • @eyepicyou
      @eyepicyou 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That is not a garden hose. That's one of their attack lines (hose reels). It's not what we are used to here in the US. We expect to drop a line from the hydrant on the way to the fire. Then we expect to drag an 1 3/4" handline for initial attack. In Europe, they have to unroll all of those and connect to the pump. It takes up time and resources. I'd rather give up the bangor ladder they have and carry some 4" street line and some pre-connect on the top of the truck.

      It may surprise you as to how many serving, and retired, firefighters watch these videos. They are only commenting because of their experience and knowledge. We realise that not all incidents work out as expected, and it is hoped that lessons are learned from this, but constructive criticism should not be discouraged.

    Not sure when the video was taken, but looking at the number of officers (white helmets) and the drivers don’t have fire PPE, just a reflective tabard with driver on the back. Could this be a contingecy crew that was covering for striking fire fighters??? Whoever they are, they did there best and certainly saved some property.

Well done Paul Wood - great filming.

    What's the use of spraying water onto the roof, the fire is INSIDE the building! Even back in the 19th century James Braidwood said firemen must get INTO a building, not fight a fire from outside. Pity these men don't know that. And a hose reel should be operating within seconds of arriving. Were these guys trained in the USA, where firefighters wandering around in slow motion has become far too common?

    Lack of urgency on arrival, 2 high pressure hosereels nowhere near enough, you could see it had spread to both roofs, second attending crews hadn't even donned BA , not their finest hour.
