In the second video it's well ablaze, which isn't surprising when you watch the gallant Fire Brigade in the first video.... doing absolutely nothing!
Funny it looks like they have got at least 2 jets working to me.
I would say that what your seeing is probably the first attendance. Which if your lucky would be two pumps and maybe 8 firefighters. However in some areas it is highly likely the you would get 1 pump and 4 firefighters, (depending on the information received).
Again (and its my opinion as I wasnt there) its highly likely that the initial OIC has sent an assistance message, asking for more resources to be deployed. So until the cavalry arrives, in the shape of further pumps and aerial appliances (if that brigade has any), theres not a lot more he can do.
There is also the problem of water. In a lot of areas water companies do not maintain high mains pressure all the time. With each appliance being capable of pumping between 500 and 1000 gallons per minute, its not long before the mains supply is over-run. Again the OIC must ask for the water company to increase mains pressure and flow rate, this all takes time.
Mark is completely right in his assumptions. There is not a building on this planet that is worth the life of anyone, nevermind a firefighter.
Before you run off at the mouth its always wise to be at least a little informed.
