  1. 🔥🚒 Abandoned fire trucks left to rot in a barn, somewhere in England.

    These Dennis-Thornycroft MK9 crash tenders are specialised airfield safety response vehicles. Custom-built in the late 1970s and 1980s, they featured roof-mounted monitors capable of laying a 12m-wide foam carpet.

    After decades of service at RAF and civilian bases, these heavy machines were replaced by modern successors like the Scammell Mk 10.

  3. After a year of testing, our university’s #firedepartment at the #Garching campus shows that #electric #firetrucks are not only feasible but reliable, cutting emissions and noise in daily operations: go.tum.de/362073 🚒

  5. I cannot stand private equity.
    I cannot stand this unencumbered merging of companies and mass-consolidation and anti-trust completely forgotten.
    I cannot stand this race to the bottom.
    I cannot stand how it's happening in EVERY SINGLE INDUSTRY, SIMULTANEOUSLY.

  7. Here’s something we can do to revive craft machine manufacturing: socialize custom firefighting equipment building. Firefighters certainly must require equipment unique to their home terrains. And with more extreme climate conditions, adaptable and mobile equipment is also necessary. It’s time to reject capitalist obsession with the Henry Ford model. I know about an ideal factory site in Seattle area.

  8. When I rode to my house yesterday in the afternoon I felt the energy in the street was not right

    That was when I was 20 minutes out

    At three 🕞 minutes distance I was absolutely certain that a lot was wrong, and I wasn't surprised when I saw the fire trucks close to the houses 🏠 in between the tax office and the brick street.

    A massive fire 🔥 which started in an abandoned building {which burned to the ground} hit an apartment building with about 16 units, then raged through a wooden house where an acquaintance of mine lives, levelling that house in minutes. While the fire 🔥 was burning the wooden one story house was also charring the house beside it.

    The fire department had experience with a massive fire in my street more than a decade ago, came with everything {twelve trucks including tankers} and they came fast.
    Everyone who was living in the apartment building evacuated safely. A woman ♀️ who I know well confirmed that fact.
    However my acquaintance was already intoxicated by the fumes and refused to leave the house thinking that the rescue team from the fire department were robbers!
    He was standing with a shotgun ready, didn't point it at them, but refused to leave.
    The rescue team was forced to leave him behind and he fell unconscious. When they heard the thump of his corpus hitting the wooden floor, they grabbed him and rushed him to hospital, where he succumbed to the smoke inhalation.

    So the abandoned building ignited the apartment building which ignited the wooden house which charred the building beside it. In total three buildings burned, two charred and One person suffocated in the ER. The fire was under control within a very reasonable time, given the fact that my fire department does not have the equipment they need to get every year.

    My sincerest Thanks goes to the fire rescue team, because without them the whole block would have burned down...

  10. Maybe it's time to start buying Chinese #firetrucks too.

    (Apologies for the Betteridge headline. The actual piece is better.)

  14. Scenes from Oroville, CA
    Firefighters staying at the hotel where I stayed in Oroville on 8/15/24. They were fighting the Park Fire, an arson caused fire that started on 7/24/24 and to date has burned 429,603 acres, the fourth largest in recorded California history. The trucks are from San Bernardino County Fire Department. #ParkFire #wildfire #handcrew #firefighters #SanBernadino #Oroville #ButteCounty #firetrucks #California

  16. New lens and fresh film day 🎉

    My recently purchased Mir-20 20mm is having a test run, she's so much wider than my Mir-1b (37mm). For my #urbex photography this feels perfect for those wider shots I love so much.

    Also a fresh #35mm film stock to try out, Candido 400 📷

    Trip to a local #Abandoned location with some old #firetrucks to have a play 💙

  18. @goedelchen @jlcrawf @smcl @q3k @BNetzA @EU_Commission or because they are too paranoid or because like with all goverments that can afford it, they have a pool of cars and drivers and those - like any decent-sized taxi service - have their own depots and mechanics onsite as well as spare parts because downtime costs money.

    Imagine if #cabs or #ambulances and #FireTrucks were to get the #AntiRepair #malware treatment...

  19. A little bit of excitement for a Saturday morning. Two fire trucks called to a car that absolutely failed to catch fire.

  20. A woman with her child’s stroller barged into this brunch spot and immediately hit the fire alarm on the wall, then she just left without getting anything leaving this chaos behind. Because Toronto?
