Starring: Glen Murphy

Genres: Drama

Episode #7.7 - S7-E7

Corrected entry: In this episode Nick rides the pump. However, being Station Officer, he should be riding the pump ladder. The London Fire Brigade always has the Station Officer in charge of the pump ladder and not the pump (it's the Sub Officer who is in charge of it).

Correction: Not so. Until Series 8, when a point was specifically made about it, the Station Officer rode the Pump, while the Sub Officer was in charge of the Pump Ladder. This was consistent through the first seven series.

Episode #2.1 - S2-E1

Corrected entry: On the way to the second shout at the council accommodation, the fire appliance shown is YHV 194T. Whilst this was the pump in the pilot and first series, for the second series, the appliances were GYW 627W and GYW 628W. (00:43:00)

Correction: It is not uncommon for older pumps to be kept in case of emergencies. It's easy to assume that this was simply the case.

Episode #10.4 - S10-E4

Other mistake: The fire at the used cars dealership recycles several shots from the petrol station fire in Series 6 episode 7. These include shots of burning petrol on the ground and a Renault car with the registration mark B649 CLY exploding.
