Great video mate, loving how they've changed the voice on the mobilising system!
Thanks for the comment, the voice change sure was a weird choice to make haha, but it does sound more urgent now.
I think this could be a favourite 👌🏻😄
Amazing video! You have a new subscriber!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. I like your content too!
Is this purpose-built for the FB or is it a converted bus?
So they took an Optare solo bus chassis and converted it for use as a Command Vehicle. They fitted it with computers, lights, cameras, recorders, consoles and a range of other tech to meet the demand. You’ll notice it only has one set of double doors too.
Great catch taylor!
Thank you mate
Good catch!
Thank you
Awesome mate love the bells!
Much appreciated!
Great video!
Thank you! Great to see people from across the pond enjoying the content too
Lucky to catch this on a call
Sure was lucky! Thanks for watching Glen
"Whiskas full of meaty goodness".... nothing relevant to this post but hope it puts a smile on your faces 😂
😂
What crew would a command unit tip out with ? Would it be firefighter and OIC
@@lastofthefallensouls1943 From what I’ve seen, the average crewing for a command unit is 3-4 people. It can consist of anything from leading firefighters to station officers.
Nice catch :O
Thanks!
Great catch
Thank you, cheers
Great turn out xx
Thank you!
Very nice!
Cheers, thank you
Great one Taylor!! Your so Lucky getting bells 😂 but nah but good one mate
Haha cheers mate
Nice video!
Thanks, appreciate that
worst looking large city FD's mobile command post out there
I guess you could argue that 😂
I wish they named it echo 441 and echo 442 as its Dockhead but no thats not how the LFB works unfortunately
funny looking unit. cool
Yeah, you’d think it was a bus. Thanks for watching!
the battle bus
Literally
An optare bus as a fire engine.
Yep, but glad it’s not a pumping appliance haha
As a bus enthusiast I quite like seeing buses being used as emergency vehicles, quite interesting tbh.
Oh awesome man, glad you got to see it!
in Tampa, Florida they actually converted school buses to ambulances, can transport quite a few able bodied individuals and up to I believe 4 or 6 wheelchair bound patients, being Canadian I will never get the sound of those trumpets out of my head, hearing those alone gives me the creeps lol@@TSEmergency
@@loganwhite3904 haha, love the tones. That’s interesting though about the school buses, but there’s plenty of space for patients which is good. Thanks!
woah when did they get these buses, ive never seen these things, only mercedes, volvos and other big trucks as command units
These started going into service late last year around November time, but a couple stations still use the Mercedes CUs as reserves, since these new ones tend to break down or need servicing quite often.
Is it just major incidents a unit like this would be called out on ?
So these command units can be mobilised to any fires from 4 pumps and above, or if it’s a ‘persons reported’ job. They also go to water rescues and hazmat/chemical incidents. In some cases they are sent immediately as a precaution. Thanks for watching!
I wish Euro truck simulator would put that in the game
Would be cool 😂 Thanks for watching!
Mmmmmmm British tone out
Wtf?? A bus? 😂
It is a bus chassis yeah haha
My thoughts to! But a posh bus Aircon, sky dish and never late...... Oh would be funny if the destination board read..... Fire scene.
Yeah it's an optare solo
Truly awful design
It’s an interesting design choice, but it gets the job done
Cool lighting setup but the pattern is awful
