Do you ever wonder what it’s like to be a firefighter at Brussels Airport? Take a look behind the scenes of our fire department and discover our two fire stations!
Luckiily the Europeans don't have such christmas trees on their equipment like some other countries have (BTW: this is the result of allowing far less blinking commercial signs seeking attention in our roads). And if you see a tanker in your rear view mirror appearing faster and faster, youl'll give way with or without lights, believe me :-)
It’s to allow lower response times across the airport I.e the closest station will respond as an initial attack party then the other station will backup if needed also the bigger station is likely right next to the busiest runway while the smaller station covers the lesser used runways to allow the main station to stay covering the main runway
adam The bull dog i think he just doesn’t understand why an AirPort fire station needs a lot and very big fire trucks, in his mind one fire truck is enough to tackle an airplane fire
I just don't understand the economy of LEDs in buildings. Electricity is dirt, dirt cheap, and the LED lamps only last a few years and then their diode elements fail prematurely. They are also very expensive for the two to three years they run.
What are you talking about LEDs lifespan is 25000 hours, CFL(fluorescent) has a lifespan of 8000 hours and even worse incandescent only last about 800 hours. Upfront fees are more expensive with LED but in the long run the savings are huge especially in big buildings.
As someone whom has had training in CFR, these stations are pretty well staffed w/ manpower & equipment!That Airport is not small!!!Thx &. nice video.
Very impressive
The station in the thumbnail looks great!
muy impresionante saludos desde Venezuela
Awesome.........
Ngl. This was recommended..
Imagine going on a serious fire call, then going down a slide to get to the vehicles LOL, quite efficient though.
25 vehicles at one station. Did I read that right?
imagine the carnage of a passenger jet crash
T T its correct 25 vehicles because they need to store other vehicles for different scenarios like brush trucks hazmat units etc
and that includes Ambulances and stuff like that
You here right also european fire Station are huge they 5-15 vehicle huger stations have 40 vehicle
Ight we need one of those slides.
THEY HAVE A SLIDE?????!!!!!?
A lot is stations now have slides. It’s safer and faster.
NorthWest Firefighter and funnier
Its better than a pole because on a slide they can use two or three firefighters by a pole one
Better equipped than American airports.
a tout mes frères et soeurs pompiers vous êtes heroique jusqu a la mort
GUT
Terrible lights on vehicles, otherwise impressive.
Not like they really need anyone to give way for them, right?

Better if both stations have half of the cars
World From Mavic Eye how come? It makes sense that they have a lot of them

@@yousrichaachoua9814 No, he thinks that both stations should have an equal number of vehicles instead of one having the majority of them
@@adamthebulldog2738 my thoughts exactly

Very bad music taste or should we call this music, very boring
The point is the video content, not the music. Have problems focusing on the real issue here??
