20 Pump Fires

Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 10:55 pm

Hey

I've seen an increasingly amount of 20 pf's around london in the past few months, 3 or 4 to be exact, i dont know if you agree but its 3 or 4 too many in my opinion, with all the Fire Safety why are we still getting them, i mean the 20 pf in Enfield last night it might of only been a accident but it could cost lives alot of them! These fires may not be prevented but surley there is something the Brigade can do to prevent these Large fires in the future i know some cant be helped but c'mon something has to be done!

Well done to all the crews who attended for safely controling it quickly and efficiently!

Sorry bout that guys, I locked the wrong thread, below is the message GBC left for you. I'll delete the other one so we just have the one thread.

There's no point in everyone having two wears when we have 140 + Fire appliances at our disposal.

Roof jobs can be quite man power intensive, the only other comment on the Chase Farm job was:

Thank fook I was on EAL this tour!'

Your not wrong mate, but there is only so much we can do. We can't make people listen/do anything. All we can do is offer advice. If they choose not to take it then that is down to them. You would not believe the amount of people that aren't interested in listening to the advice given, and some of them have kids too.

I don't think we should be doing the fire safety but that is a different subject. There's nothing better than a good job if you ask me!
