So I'm guessing the LFB engines have to get escorted through the airport zone as they don't have the orange becons?
Yes. It's written in the Standard Operating Procedures for the London Fire Brigade. Heathrow Airport has a Fire Service Contract with them and the airport also has their own Fire and Rescue Service. Heathrow also has SO18 (Aviation Security) from the Metropolitan Police, and the London Ambulance Service.
I've never seen a British police vehicle with amber integrated into a blue lightbar. Understandable that of course Airport police would do though.
It's interesting to see statutory London police and LFB and even a Heavy Recovery truck going airside.
A very interesting video to see multi-agency cooperation at work.
The Metropolitan Police has a Dedicated Unit called SO18 (Aviation Security) which works alongside the Airport in the Greater London Area. Kinda like the Airport Bureau for the Phoenix Police Department. But these officers from Scotland Yard are highly trained.
That police van looked a bit lost. "Er ... turn right here" Comes face to face with a 787 "Er, perhaps not". Not sure why it would have been needed anyway
No idea why plod were sticking their oar in! Stick to detecting crime. Airside operations can direct traffic.
Not really face to face with the plane now was it 😂.. bit dramatic.. but at one point was the airport without fire cover.. that was alot of appliances!
This happened because of a fault with some stairs being attached to an Airbus A320neo
Great video mate
No ARFF foam units initially dispatched?
Then 5 or 6….
Assuming the original call was "stair truck on fire" (or something similar) it is understandable, another assumption is that the ARFF units only got dispatched when it was voiced that it was under a plane.
I must voice again that this is purely an assumption and is not factual.
Units were probably added after incident size-up by Command.
Did the MP just go on an active taxiway? If they did would they have been given a phone number by ATC?😊
MP that are airport based can free roam so there is no issue with being on active taxiways 😊
@@JohnB536As long as They know that Aircraft always have Right of way.
Dirk, in your write ups, it’s ‘aircraft,’ not ‘plane.’
Thank you for your videos.
Aeroplane then.
Have LFB always provided fire cover at LHR?
Most local brigades back up airport fire services
@@ChrisBarrow-617and occasionally the airport backs up the local fire service.
Can't remember where it was but I heard an ARFF foam truck was used to help extinguish a burning fuel tanker on a motorway near an airport
LFB have precedence at the airport despite the airport having their own fire service 👍🏼
I know off airport Ambulance and fire service Emergency vehicles are called to an
airport for Any emergency as back up to Airport appliances.
@@dasy2k1Did something similar where i did. when therr was a oil tank explosion the DFRS (at the time now its AFRS) was backing up the city Fire brigade. Aswell as when the waterport exploded aswell.
