I trained there from April to June 1971, course No 131, ADO Woolmer was the training commandant, the 60ft escape ladder was heavy, spent 2 nights in Ancoats hospital with strained stomach muscles, and those trailer pumps!!!!! , Mcinties was a claustrophobic experience, loved every minute of it.
I trained there in 1970/71. We all trained on GNB 217, the escape ladder was named Big Lizzie and boy was she heavy. Lot of familiar faces in the video. Best fire station in the world.
Oh come on Sam it's 'increase pressure' in training not 'more power'. That you cannot have forgotten. Besides that 'give it some welly' was far more common. 😂

Um firemen wear ppe to jobs not uniforms uniforms are the casual and ceremonial attire the wear
Yes specifically fire retardant clothing
A firefighter’s PPE is a uniform. Uniform means of one form, i.e., to all look the same. And their turnout gear looks pretty uniform to me. Most soldiers have three to four uniforms, ranging from combat dress, working dress, service uniform to their number ones - their ceremonial uniform. So if a soldier’s camouflage gear is classed as a uniform then you can bet a firefighter’s turnout gear most certainly is.
