3:55 Good to see that firefighters still obey street signs.
lol
Thanks for letting me know about this channel now I can watch lots of fire trucks responding!
You're welcome! Lots and lots of fire trucks :)
Nice one! Good work!!
Lots of activity in that video. Great as always 👌
Great catches!
Thank you for this video. The vehicles you show actually getting to a scene LOL
Happy to provide! Ss
Love London United Kingdom very much and especially with London Fire Bridge on call in London UK .🥰😍🤩😀😃😄😁👍👏
All fire fighters u have a great deal of respect for the job u do
Cool video!
What a wonderful piece of kit is the modern turntable ladder.

@@MrHeesbeen Brilliant. Pip Pip.
@@MrHeesbeen American English is now the worldwide standard Mr. HasBeen. Crackin' no? Yes mate.
YOU CAUGHT A COBRA CUT VAN!
Really good now I can see fire trucks responding
20 pumps for one scene? You'd think an entire warehouse was well alight
Look at the size of the building and the potential for fire spread in an old valuable historic building with plenty of voids, I'd say it was absolutely warranted, better to have too many than not enough and then have to wait if it goes tits up!
Looked to me as though it was a Pub on fire. They should have sent more.
@@MrRichmac23 yeah but lesser pumps on site doesn't create confusion and having to move vehicles etc. 20 pumps is way to excessive for a pub basement fire - even if they are mandated to protect adjacent building, they'd most likely get in each others way.
Rememeber this is in London, so it's tight spaces and narrow roads.
Remember a firefighter was killed fighting a fire in a pub basement in Edinburgh
@@douglasstocks9698 sure, but then this would just increase the odds. Over crowded sites, multiple COs etc.
Not saying it's happening here though, just seems a bit of overkill for a basement fire - only thing could be like gas leak or something idk
Wow amazing video!
Cheers! Ss
My how the world has changed.German made fire equipment in England.
Nice spot
Would like to see an LFB engine responding with a Federal Q2B. I bet that would clear some traffic.
That would be awful. Ruin a perfectly good fire engine!
I love LFBs sirens as they are. Maybe the US should invest in them…
Nice
Not a mention of this on the national news bulletins thanks for putting it on.
Happy to! A fire in Trafalgar Square gets a lot of interest due to where it is being well known by many. Surprised it wasn't on the national news! Ss
London isn't the center of the UK. Not everyone wants to know what's happening in it.
Hello from America
Great video.
Thanks! Ss
Blue lights, making a racket and turn signals flashing, and STILL the cyclist decides he can cross.
Where was the fire exactly which building ? Superheroes save the day yay love ❤ them all such bravery x grand job on the video
The Admirality Pub, it was in the basement. They are superheroes everyday. And thank you! Ss
@@BlueLightProd they sure are bless them stay safe all
@@jojosmumdorothy2829 i totally agree with you on that! fire fighting is a very risk job to do and it's always scary to know that you know that you can lose your life in the fire you are trying to put out and save the lives of those who are trapped, that's if anyone is trapped and just seeing their gear, those tanks the fire fighters have on their backs really look very heavy.....
Actually, i was doing a bit of back ground reading on how the first fighters were formed and also about the St. Florian and why St. Florian's Day fell on International Fire Fighters' Day, which always falls on 4th May every year......And though St. Florian is normally venerated as the patron saint of Fire fighters and chimney sweeps and as the first person to organize the first Fire fighting brigades in the Roman times and not just organize them, but he was known to also lead these Fire Fighting Units he formed as well..... but were few people know that he was a Christian (and during those times Christians were persecuted under the Diocletianic law..... and Diocletian was one of the four rulers of Rome along with Maximian, Galerius and Constantius (Constantine the Great's father) who were all Roman Emperors ), who was also a Military officer in the ancient Roman army and that he rose to the rank of commander in the Imperial Roman Army in the Roman province of Noricum ..... it is also known that he not just organized these fire fighting parties but he also trained some of the elite soldiers to just fight fires..... and that was their main job.....
@@BlueLightProd i agree with you as well....... plus i actually did a bit of back ground reading on why International Fire Fighters' Day and St. Florian's day was celebrated on the same day, which is May 4th, every year....... and well, i was very impressed by the St. Florian and his work plus, he was really brave and he also was a Commander in the Imperial Roman Army...... who not just organized elite soldiers into these fire fighting brigades but he also taught and lead these elite soldiers to fight fires...... and also these elite fire fighting units' job was just to "fight" fires..... plus i was surprised because St. Florian was also a Christian and that he lived during one of the worst times for early Christians to live in, which is the Diocletian period..... this period was also the time when the Diocletian laws were passed...... and those who didn't follow those laws were, well persecuted..... so yeah, St. Florian was one really brave man..... and all fire fighters are actually very brave people as well......
Anyway, i hope that everything when smoothly and no one was harmed including the fire rescue units...... and i hope that they (the fire fighters/ fire rescue units) all stay and remain safe, protected and blessed always........ and i hope that if anyone was harmed in that fire, i hope that it was just a minor burn and that i hope that they heal fast.....
Anyway, thank you for the video Steven, Chris and Cameron........ i hope that you, and everyone at your side, all have an amazingly awesome day today and everyday........ stay safe, protected and blessed always, you guys!.......... 🙂.....
Edit: Steven, i just wanted to say thank you for the information on the difference between the two fire truck ladders, in your previous video and the link you shared with me in my comment ...... and though i deleted my message/ comment to you in that video, i actually read all the messages i had under my main comment and well we normally don't see the "turn table" type of ladders because it's difficult for larger fire trucks to move and also since i live in India, i have never seen them except the pump ladder ones being used in my country....... so it was difficult for me to know if the fire brigades in India have ladders similar to the ones in that link you shared with me....... i really appreciate you and London Emergency 999 for your time and also for correcting me about the fire truck in your previous video........ 🙂..... anyway, i hope that you, Chris and Cameron have an amazing day today and everyday....... stay safe, protected and blessed always......... Cheers! 🙂
@@BlueLightProd Admiralty is still close, I guess damage was serious so refurbishment will take time
Excellent vid
Thanks! Ss
Great video pal love it
WOW WHAT A FIRE
pls show respect to the victims of this fire rip in peice
Boris's pants on fire again? 🤣
So.... Even our Queen has to put up with this bloody racket every day out front, S'like living down Matlock Bath when the coppers shifts are ending.....
Are you a pirate?
The Queen actually lives in Windsor Castle not Buckingham Palace
Is this on soho fire station ground and what equipment is kept in the operational support unit?
The operation support unit carries spare kit in case anything breaks and needs replacement on scene, Logistics and specialist equipment if needed
@@danielmichaels1505 that is very interesting!
Get a life
LFB operate six OSUs and hold another in reserve. They were purchased to replace several ageing Breathing Apparatus Tenders (BATs) & Damage Control Tenders (DCTs) in 2008, and are due to be replaced very soon. Due to the ease of loading and unloading palletised equipment on and off these box wagons, they are classed as multi-role vehicles. Specific kit from the inventory held at the OSU home station can be requested from the fireground by an incident commander. This can be damage limitation and salvage equipment such as salvage sheets, submersible pumps, portable generators, emergency lighting, boarding-up wood, sand bags for damming and a myriad of power tools and hand tools. Its second role as a BA Tender brings spare breathing apparatus bottles and bottle rechargers to the fireground. It’s third role is to provide a limited level of firefighter welfare kit - from a porta-loo to bottled water and a new pair of gloves. But it also carries more mundane operational support kit such as traffic cones, informative road signs and “do not cross” barrier tape.
Was this the same day as the Beating Retreat was happening?
20 pumps plus, specialist units, what were they selling in that pub!!
Rumour has it , that it was a black market bakery selling cheap donuts for the cops , so the heroes did there best for the fuzzies
I know this was a serious fire and a serious video but I genuinely thought at 1:43 that was a fire tuc-tuc, I heard the sirens and then the tuc-tuc came into frame, that would have been hilarious though a fire tuc-tuc
I’ve never understood how LFB can operate several command/control units at one incident. Yes I understand large incidents are often divided into sectors, but I wonder, is there one CU at the top overseeing the whole fire scene?
Yeah so you have someone called the Incident Commander who is overall in charge of the scene. If the scene requires it then you can bring in Sector Commanders who are in charge of a certain area of the scene. If the scene had had a lot of death or is traumatic then they might assign someone as the Safety Officer who is in charge of safety and welfare at the scene including victims and firefighters. Another group you may have seen was Command Support which basically operate the Command unit and even liason with other services or press. I forgot to add that there is also an Operations Commander who is in charge of resources. Lastly, there is one last person who would help oversee the scene which is the Tactical Advisor who's job is basically just to give suggestions on how to tackal the incident.
Hope this answered your question.
@@benwoods1951 .... thanks for that, it was very interesting. But it doesn't really answer my question: how can LFB have two or three CUs at an incident? I understand all the different sectoring and role allocation, yet all other uk fire services get by with one solitary control unit on scene. I just don't see how more than one can possibly work.
With no one in overall charge it perhaps explains why the LFB have been found to be the worst performing brigade in the country, year after year....
@@YelpBullhorn So to answer your question, hopefully I can - This was 20 pump fire, which In the states would have probably a dozen chief officers and 20 pumps Is equal to a 5th alarm or something like that, So the more pumpers respond the more chiefs need to respond, hence 2-3 CUs at an incident. Extra commanders might also be dispatched because of the technicality of the incident. There’s a lot of factors but that’s to the extent that I can explain.
Edit - Also, other fire brigades are smaller (Londons the largest) and they don’t have as many resources as the LFB does, so only one CU shows up because that’s all the capability have have for
@@tyw7205 The Scottish Fire & Rescue Service is the largest brigade in the UK. They have several control units placed around scotland, but I'm pretty sure they only send one to a large incident.... and believe you me, Edinburgh and Glasgow have had more than their fair share of 40+ pump infernos.
Could they not all share one van@@benwoods1951 ?
What is the unmarked white van at the end?
That is the Cobra van! It carries 'Cobra' (no not me), a tool for piercing buildings with high pressure hose. Ss
@@BlueLightProd Amazing knowledge
@@BlueLightProd Would be appropriate if you had your own van
@@BlueLightProd interesting info! thank you Steven for that bit of knowledge...... because i learnt something new today as well...... and please tell me that everyone was safe including the fire rescue guys and even the people in the building and you guys as well ........ (and thank you for the head's up in the brackets...... it really would have seriously confused me.... 🙂..... but yes it would be nice if you guys at CobraEmergency had a vehicle of your own)
Anyway, i hope that you, Cameron and Chris have an amazingly awesome day today and everyday....... stay and remain safe, protected and blessed always....... i wonder what my younger cousin (who passed away in a fire just before i entered my 7th grade) would have chosen to work as if she was alive with us? and well her mum still says that my cousin (her daughter) always looked and acted like me and she still says that this cousin was a total carbon copy of me.......and i actually agree with my aunt because i saw my cousin's pic in December 2015 when i went to her house after my "bead and syrup shopping" (beads for my Jewellery and Syrups so that i could make some drinks for my self and also use some in desserts) and i saw my passed on cousin's pic and she really looked like me, except that i knew that it was not me in that pic because i didn't (and still don't) have a younger brother........
@@jld9107 i agree with both your reply message to CobraEmergency | More
Aye aye aye! that's terrible! i hope that no one was hurt.... 😞 ..... what caused the fire by the way?
It's still under investigation...
@@LondonEmergency999 thank you for the information 🙂......
Anyway i hope that you have an amazing day today and everyday........ stay safe, protected and blessed always.....
Now believed to be caused by carelessly discarded cigarette entering the basement via a vent.
It was something in the region of 37 Degrees Celcius in London that day. Talk about blokes earning their salaries...
The bloke in the TL cage should be wearing a BA set.
Is that a jock strap?
@@RLTtizME Ahh look RLT= Real looney Tw@t. is trying to sound funny. Add that failure to the long list you already have.
The amount of chiefs on scene holy crap
yeah way too many - suppose they want to ensure it doesn't spread, but still - they can't even park nearby
@@moosesnWoop White helmet doesn't mean Chief.
@@benwoods1951 no its the CO of the pump, there is only one fire chief and its a desk job.
@@moosesnWoop I said White Helmet doesn't mean Chef, never said it did.
@@moosesnWoop I would also like to add that there is multiple Chiefs, depending on the service. Assistant Chief Fire Officer, Deputy, ect.
At least ER2 has a proper fire service, unlike Charles 2. London was saved.
If it wasn't for James Braidwood who founded the Edinburgh Fire Brigade there wouldn't be a London fire brigade
Some rich Londoner set fire to his wallet, how many vehicles do they need??
What agency / specialty was the white Mercedes van arriving 9:10?
LFB
Seems abit extreme but alright

Is it second channel?
It is!
@@rebeccafionacornel6558 i know this. N. America.
Found out the people who made Big Brutus also made the Crawlers NASA uses.
Mmm this must be an Australian thing but I don’t quite understand your use of sirens in the UK. We never turn ours off when responding. We make a song & dance all of the time until we park the appliances. Also your water pressure must be quite low.
As where I am in Melbourne Australia we have very high water pressure out of our fire hydrants. All of our fire appliances car water on board & are equipped with high volume pumps capable of upwards of 2000 litres of water per minute.
Sirens Go off when there's no traffic, when stuck I traffic, as can cause accidents. From my understanding you'll the water pressure is often lowered due to leaking pipes, so reducing list water.
Sometimes sirens can make thing more difficult to move as people panic and stop in silly places, thus not having a siren sometimes can be quicker, when there is an option to get past, on with the sirens
@@Ian-xq4rt good point!
If the sirens are constantly on then people whether in vehicles or pedestrians don’t hear them anymore. Just becomes part of a noisy city. More effective when turning on/off.
We always knew you were full of it in all respects.
Look at those cute little mini-fire engines. Are they real?
What? They have 1800 liters of water and they are pretty capable of fighting fires… So course their real
@@tyw7205 Those aren't real manly rigs Wooser. Candy ass mini apparatus and they are quite comical I must say. They make the fires laugh. Cheers.

Thats alot of white helmets.

Contact your caretaker. They are looking for you.
Hopefully that satanic arch of Baal has gone
Unbelievable respect for these guys and paramedics 💯👏 plod on the other hand are non ambitious clowns 🤡
Brilliant, shared both the video and your channel to my facebook group. So you can get more likes and subs 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒
