Following the London Fire Brigade with unprecedented access, as they respond to a whole range of emergencies.
In this second episode, one hundred firefighters are mobilised to a massive fire at a garden centre near Heathrow Airport. Things take a dramatic turn when it’s discovered there is a large quantity of highly explosive gas canisters on site, directly in the path of the spreading fire. And things go from bad to worse as the brigade realise they don’t have enough water to keep the canisters cool and fight the fire... - บันเทิง
Total respect to all Emergency services you risk your lives to help the public without the support of the government. They cut your budgets but they still get paid for doing nothing in particular.
God bless each and every one of you.
Stay safe Ladies & Gents.
no i dont think so
God isnt real
Respect you do the best with what you have. London Councils don’t Put resources into the BRIGANDS Anymore. Because big fires are rare. But the Influx of immigrants with overloaded houses. Cooking with hot fat . When a fire starts they panic run away. Not even calling 999. Etc. apart from chemical fires. Home Hot fat pans cooking is very High incidence/. .. also sadly young kids Being burnt in Hot Fat Fires.
When they are all eating and the alarm goes off and they all jump up in unison... some reflexes! You know that they've got that drilled into them. What a team.
imagine being with one of them having the watches alarm sound as ringtone :D
The leader of the specialist crash unit almost looked frustrated that his unit wasn't going to be called up.
Mad respect to all emergency crews and their families. Stay safe.
It’s actually such a shame seeing a young woman almost dying and having to wait 3 hours for one ambulance.
Thank the government. Like for 99% of all the problems we have
I know it is sad
utterly disgraceful, fire brigade overstretched, ambulance service overstretched, police overstretched, whole health service overstretched, social care already long broken, prisons overstretched and broken. Only a matter of time before the final straw comes and everything completely collapses. How this country once was able to control a quarter of the world and be the most powerful on earth I cannot comprehend, given the shocking state it is in now. Joke.
Remember, there's no money for U.K citizens left. But £1,000 per day per person for all the scruffs fleeing nothing at all, nipping over on rafts is manageable
Its gotten worse, There was a flat fire down the road from me and some lady had alot of smoke inhalation and the fire brigade requested an amublance and it arrrived 6 hours later. (This was south london)
All the emergency services are under pressure, every where, not just in London, and it is a crime that these wonderful people are not better supported in the work that they do.
the firefighters do such a good job and there are so brave
No ambulance for that long is insane and completely inexcusable. Ofcourse not to the people on the ground, but the people in charge
The firefighters are brilliant and do a great job.
really? how many real emergencies do they do in a year, don`t get me wrong we all need the Fire Service but you lot overplay them a bit too much. they will only work within their own group, and they certainly don`t work with other emergency Services.
@@brian.7966 you sausage
@@brian.7966 are you serious??! Fire crews are always being called to incidents - fires, crashes, animal rescues, automatic fire alarm call-outs, water rescues and many more. If they’re not on a call, they’re training. You’re clueless mate 😂
Brian a negative Troll you’ll find lots of Brian’s commenting on TH-cam.. !
@@brian.7966 They are literally working with other emergency services all the time every day what the fuck are you on
The amount of BS calls that dispatch has to deal with today is mind boggling. I wonder what - if anything - is going on in the minds of kids that make those calls.
When I was little, one of the lads from the local fire brigade lived next door. Never even dreamed about making any hoax calls. Had I done so and my parents had caught me making those calls (this was the 80s - land line only or public payphones)...I would have gotten a proper hiding, and rightfully so. Fire fighters were heroes to me back then and they still are now.
Shoutout to Edric for being awesome! You, and your colleagues, inspire me 😍
I work for the FDNY and my twin brother works for LFB in London. They do some crazy sh** with not so great equipment. Astonishes me what they go through on the daily and it can ALL be prevented!
That's so cool that your brother work in London! You sir are awesome working in the TOP FD in the world.
Such as what?
@@infrared567 Yeah would be good to understand what stuff is limiting / crazy and what equipment you feel they should have?
It’s not so much that I doubt you but can you explain how that’s possible? You need to be a UK citizen to work for LFB and a US citizen to work for FDNY. I’m assuming one of you must have a dual citizenship or something?
One thing I can say from being a firefighter on the east coast of the United States is that the UK there's a lot different than here and it is generally amazing and I would love to see some of the stuff and gear that the fire brigade has and see it and use it in the u.s.a. because it just looks more organized but there's no stuff we have here such as the fire helmets I love the European style better than the stuff we have here because our helmets are so hard to fit and the so uncomfortable and our back of our necks are slightly less covered and the European style pretty much has all those bases covered
Must take a certain mindset to be able to do that job. I know i don't have it. Mega kudos to all those who go through all that specialist training and show up for every shift having no idea of what awaits them.
I always pay respect to these first responders around the world, regardless of their nationality.
Thanks budd
Ansells Garden Centre in West Drayton. Since rebuilt. I was there took a lot of photos of the incident. Cylinders and fireworks on the site was the biggest risk
Over 3 hours wait for an ambulance for a RTC in one of the biggest capital cities in Europe is absolute shambles. Unbelievable.
Thank God for firefighting from the air. I would like to think that there are new laws on the use of flame protection in the storage of gas tanks and other flammable items, especially in commercial settings where there are more than one or two cylinders.
Edric's laugh 😂😂
great job and teamwork
They’ve shut down numerous stations and disbanded battalions at a time when such emergency services are required the most. This country is an absolute joke
The government is the country isn’t
Tory government absolute idiots
There was a movie made about the backdraft phenomenon in the nineties. Good movie that highlighted just how dangerous a backdraft is to firefighters.
brilliant movie one of my favourites 😍
You forgot (kings cross fire) November 1987
Bloody Brave Men. Heroes...
great video keep it up LFB
18:26 thats a beautiful evo
Indeed
love evo's😊
my mate thought it was a skyline
"1400 litres of water per minute", pretty impressive.
The 2 story building at the start just seems like it was asking for it. A gardening centre = plants. LPG tanks sitting about and fucking fireworks?!
As American firefighter medic we have the same problem with our ambos running 30 to 40 mintues
I work EMS in Detroit, MI...you can be waiting almost an hour for an available rig somedays for "CPR in progress by citizens"
@@kennethisaacson622 its sad. but the thing is we gent frequent flyers, or people who dont need a ambo but have nobody else to call. and most cities are underpaid and very toxic work environments for ems.like i wish we could fix it
One of th world's finest Fire Dept's
Hi mate met you at Huddersfield station last night, it's Michael who was playing piano, coincidentally I also love trains!
?😊
UK-s firecode just like in US is stuck in 1960-70, and its ambulance service is like in US , both are heavily under funded ubers :D
The NHS ambulences opperate on a stablise, treat(if possible), transport not like the us Stabilise and transport
They deserve every penny they get.
Funny how they have removed the cladding off the other tower block
The condition of the NHS is a disgrace and our pathetic government is doing nothing about it.
We sleep easy in our beds, knowing that the emergency service boys and girls put our safety as priority one.
I salute you all.
This is from an ITV show called Inside London Fire Brigade. It would be good if you clarified this in the description.
Do you know is they still show it on the tv
@@rowanbawden7783 unfortunately not
@@rowanbawden7783 unfortunately it was like 3 episodes then stopped, the episodes have been uploaded on here somewhere
@@luisrowlands9411 Ah ok thanks for answering
Well you can tell it’s from tv, with the gaps for the ads
3 hours for an ambulance, what a disgrace.
14:50 so EMS needed 3 Hours to get an ambulance to the Scene?
Wow...i heard that NHS had major Problems but this is really really bad....
A patient waiting 3 hours for an ambulance in America is unheard of
As seen L,F,B, are not on their own in fighting fire,s as we have just seen a firefighter died after attending a call in Edinbugh
Hi there in 🏴 uk
I did not know an ambulance could get diverted from your case.
I think it depends if something more serious comes up then an ambulance could get diverted
Yep, why send an ambulance to a broken leg when a dude has 5 minutes to live after having a heart attack nearby?
@@Alucard-gt1zf more an issue in the UK tbh ... in many countries you have sufficient ambulances that they don't have to be diverted over and over again
I can't believe when they starting putting the fire out it was gone. Thank the L.F.B
FYI
Firefighters CANNOT survive in 600'C temps, so what is said around the 35 minute mark is completely untrue.
Reupload?
Curious as to why faces were blurred out for no ID.
5:25 did he just say half an hour?! wtf is this normal in London?
6:00 Ambulance diverted so we have no ambulance??
12:49 His crew waited 2h for an ambulance
mate im never travelling to GB again
this is US and Canadian fire departments on a daily bases
Great Fires of London.
Fireman Sam.
Do they think we have dementia or something? How many times did they introduce those gas cylinders?
U can stop prank or abuse calls simple emergency service shud av option to tick and report then mobile network companies shud charge caller £20 per call ad to next bill problem solved.
I FOUND IT AGAIN YAY
Love The LFB!👍🚒🔥👨🚒⛑🧯🚨🇬🇧
Very large friend in tree 😂
Police senor ranked officers are posh toffs with fancy degrees who get direct entry. Fire officers are people whom worked hard from entry level and have deserved their promotions. Police take note.
17:42 Mbappe brother? XD

They really should have their breathing apparatus still on while inside that house clearing it out. 20:48 all the smoke and residue floating up is full of carcinogens and toxic chemicals. Their health is going to suffer in a few decades, breathing this all the time.
West Drayton 💀
time is long overdue to have paramedics trained and intergrated with fire crews
Already standard in the US, commonsense really
@@davepowell7168 UK has a different firefighting tradition.
They have quite the short supply of Paramedics in the UK. At least have some ambulance run by the fire department and train some firefighters to become EMTs would help.
Maybe they can cross staff vehicle together with EMS London Ambulance services.
Also standard in most of german fire brigades. But in additional there is a rule that an ambulance has to arrive at 7-15 minutes after the call. In most cases this is complied. Three hours would be unthinkable...
@@markusschafer4895 in MOST German fire departments? No, definetly not!
@@EnjoyFirefighting Here are the German rules (ambulance is carried by fire Department or other organisations) hope TH-cam translates for you:
Immer vom Eingang der Notfallmeldung in der Leitstelle bis zum Eintreffen am Notfallort)
Baden-Württemberg: 10-15 Minuten[1]
Bayern: max. 12 Minuten kürzeste planerische Fahrtzeit (zzgl. nicht näher definierter Bearbeitungszeit in der ILST)[10]
Berlin: bedarfsgerecht
Brandenburg: 15 Minuten (bei elektronischen Einsatzleitsystemen ab dem Zeitpunkt der Erstalarmierung)
Bremen: 95 % in 10 Minuten
Hamburg: 8-10 Minuten (DV der BF), laut Gesetzestext „Bedarfsgerecht und angemessen“
Hessen: 90 % in 10 Minuten, 95 % in 15 Minuten (Rettungsdienst), 15 Minuten theoretisch-planerische Erreichbarkeit vom Standort aus (Notarzt)[11]
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: 10 Minuten
Niedersachsen: 95 % in 15 Minuten[12]
Nordrhein-Westfalen: 8 Minuten, in ländlichen Bereichen 12 Minuten
Rheinland-Pfalz: 15 Minuten
Saarland: 95 % in 12 Minuten
Sachsen: 95 % in 12 Minuten
Sachsen-Anhalt: 12 Minuten
Schleswig-Holstein: 12 Minuten
Thüringen: 14 Minuten, in ländlichen Bereichen 17 Minuten.
Edit: at least every fire department has first aid capabilities and a professional fireman will certainly be s paramedic too.
Same story too often in this country. Brave emergency services, armed forces, amazing care workers, doctors and nurses all let down and underfunded and underpaid by successive governments Labour and Conservative. No clue what happens in the real world. What a mess
I wonder what could be causing such a strain on the ambulance service. 🤔 hhhmmmmmm.
I hope the water company were fined for the flood and the money went to the Fire Services. They need all the money they can get, especially with this government.
What’s original show called
Inside London Fire Brigade
Sooty the fireman
Free ambulance rides u gotta wait for damn
0:24 that women's face
I feel really bad for Micheal
Thanks all our firefighters, but I'd like to see stores of gas, fireworks and similar substances banned from any urban / inhabited areas. locations. Surly, it adds more problems to F & R teams
3 hours for an ambulance!!! Keep voting Conservative and maybe we can change that 3 into a 4 or 5 hour wait...better yet, they just don't turn up! So glad all that EU money we saved went to the NHS!
120 million for Charles's Coronation!
117 million to support the Royal WEF lapdog annually!
I'd say the problem of funding lies squarely on the British Parliament and the greed of the institution of the Royal Family (or what's left of it)!
as if the situation got ANY better since they left the EU. It didn't, not at all

3 hours for an ambulance? Call a taxi..
sometimes not really an option, is it?
@@EnjoyFirefighting I’ve never waited 3 hours for an ambulance in 39 years. I’d say 3 hours is a systemic failure.
@@ricco0911 neither did I, but some patients might not be able to get to the taxi ...
It definetly IS a failure of the system
@@EnjoyFirefighting lol, I was kind of teasing about the taxi…but honestly, if I had to wait 3 hours, I’d transport them in the engine..
But this country has billions to send to Ukraine and Israel. But can’t support it’s own emergency services
Can’t really use armoured vehicles as emergency response vehicles
@BelgianProblem but the money spent to provide them vehicles could of gone to the fire service in our own country...
@@BillySmith-pu6cn The vehicles were already paid for, likely before the Ukraine war even started.
when did that fire happen??
Around 2017
How are they trapped when the door is able to open
ahh yes good old edrick who was never actually at grenfell but claimed he was
He was there, you don't know what you're talking about you clown. He wasn't there at the start, but he did attend.

Posted this already but just for your visibility:
I'm genuinely sick of the clear racist targeting of Edric Kennedy-Macfoy clearly from Firefighters. The London Fire Brigade has just gone through a cultural review, you should be ashamed of yourself.
As I mentioned, read both of Edric's witness statements in full before commenting.
it's a nonsense the speaker say if it's a gas pipe it's wild be if it's high heat it's not willing be both it's will happen an that's the defend

It is interesting to watch fire sit around for hours for ambo. As police I have sat and waited an hour and a half for a suspected stroke of a driver who crashed.
police sitting around and waiting, there's a surprise
@@cliveramsbotty6077 Ignorant troll comment. At least know even a little bit of knowledge on the topic before looking like a tit.
wish people would NOT make hoax calls 😢
Hello everyone, please tell me a good online store of fire equipment in England
Cooked breakfast, workout, snooker, lunch, workout, table tennis, home. Bosh.
Hoax calls should be a crime. You have their number and address so police go to them and they are charged with that crime. Make this a crime and cut that stuff right out. Ridiculous that nothing is being done.
3 hours waiting for an ambulance for a severly injured patient? Incredible. May be they shouldn't send all the money to Ukraine and instead buy a couple of ambulances and pay their crews.
that was an issue well before the war
Considering this is from 2017 i dont se how thosse two have any relation.
I think LFB should take a more Americanized approach and have all firefighters be EMTs
Sending billions abroad for armed forces yet cutting essential services. I hate this country.
Next Week: A Day In The Life of a Mexican Firefighters, featuring Jose and Hose-B.
5:51 Waiting over an hour for an ambulance "like the third world". Thanks Tories!
I understand the frustration it must cause to Fire crews waiting for ambulances; or even vise versa. But is it not true, that this is a result of repeatedly cutting budgets. It's the same with Police and other cases. By repeated cuts, there's no slack left in the system.
It's fine when everything runs normally, but things start to groan and fall apart, when even quite small problems arise.
It's just not fair to put our 'Blue Light' services professionals under un-necessary extra pressure, just so County or higher Authorities can make cuts.
As for Edrick's veganism - we must remember that Humans are omnivores as a species. For many thousands of years, Humans/Neanderthals have been 'Hunter Gatherers' according to what food is available, in whichever the season.
Veganism [by choice] is generally just a modern fad.
Long Live The British Fireman.
wars in ukraine where our country spends millions nearly billions, while us here in the uk suffer!
Problem can be easily solved. People need to change their priorities. Less money on beer and football and more money to improve their own health. Pointless spending millions of pounds to buy more fire engines, ambulances, train firefighters etc. Society spends billions each year watching someone kick a ball on a field and worshipping the people who kick the soccer balls, but they won't bat an eyelid to pay emergency workers good salaries. Save a life and you get paid peanuts. Kick a ball and get paid millions
Fuck me someone isn't good at soccer.
@@Commander_Kevin someone isn't healthy
we should put any explosives away from buildings. so annoying
Safety? No seat belts on.
I way that car crash victim had serious spinal injuries. Crash for cash all day long
Removing the manhole covers to the sewers will suck that water off the streets and send it through the sewers! That’s common sense, so why don’t they use their heads and get that done?!?!?!
Too many people are focusing on that man being a vegan. 😂 😑 🤦♀ 🤷♀
Fire fighters might go months on end without a serious incident but teachers have to deal with disruptive fckwit kids all day, every day.
Hence fire brigade recruitment is massively competitive.
Months without a serious incident? Yeah ok 🥱
