Brass Tacks UK Trip Mini-Documentary

https://youtu.be/cUs6CQVKhg8 - 30 minutes

fire officers from around the world went to UK Fire College to compare
low flow fire attack vs high flow fire attack - they ran hose lines in
drill buildings and shipping containers

difficult communications was mentioned - but not radio communications
maybe - they were talking about verbal communications in masks

USA - 150 gpm attack lines

Europe - 50 GPM attack lines

european structures are more compartmentalized - really? - if doors are open?

are small european hoses much easier to move around inside homes? does
it really matter?

how often does it happen that windows break and fire roars out of a
building AFTER the FD arrives? my guess is that is very rare actually
- both in europe and in usa
