Australian Firefighting
Following on from our previous post regarding the large factory fire in Kilsyth VIC, we have the dispatch and operations radio recordings available.
If you haven’t seen the footage, watch the clip below before the audio. If the sounds of the gas cylinders in the video weren’t terrifying enough, wait until you hear the first arriving appliance!
Don’t miss the video in this one!
On October 13th CFA and MFB stations responded to reports of a factory fire – going well. The premises known as HyChill produced air-conditioning gas and reportedly had anywhere from 100-300 gas cylinders in the factory.
The MFB currently has one of their ladder platforms (Car 170) on loan to Fire & Rescue NSW, which is working out of 27 station, Parramatta. The LP was entered into service in the 1990’s and has apparently seen action for the MFB, CFA, ACTFR and now FRNSW!
Watch as the giant MFB Control 1A turns out for a 2nd alarm HAZMAT incident on the Monash Freeway. Looks like it would be a bit of a handful to respond that through the city!
In October 2013, NSW suffered at the hands of large scale bushfires around the state and as such, interstate appliances were called in to assist.
Blair Dellemijn was on scene to shoot a large factory fire in Campbellfield, VIC – which made it to 4th alarm. The incident involved over 60 firefighters and took hours to bring under control as the factory contained raw flammable liquid used to manufacture products.
