no mention of the fact that London only has ?5 ladder trucks - maybe 10 - I dont think they tell anyone how many ladders they actually operate daily no mention of how much they spend on the Queen every year - maybe $2 billion? note - London operates 100 fire stations with 150 pumpers and maybe 10 ladders and 10 rescues - with crews of 4 or 5 each IIRC - hard numbers are very hard to come by even though they publish lots of info on their website - if that was a USA FD they would probably have 100 pumpers and 50 ladders note - London has zero quints AFAIK note - apparently London does not have a snorkel or aerial that can reach up 20 floors - (Bronto and or Morita sales are probably gonna boom - and there is another snorkel maker - who was that? - from Korea maybe?) do you remember the report that they released about FD response times - and when I looked at it I could not decipher what they were really saying? - there seemed to be a one minute discrepancy in their response times based on the way they were presenting the info - I was confused on alerting time vs turnout time IIRC - which should be the same essentially - they have CAD that sends computer voice alerts to each fire station - remember? - "Mobilse Mobilse Mobilise" - ??? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
