(3) Since 26th June 2020, the French Civil Security Instruction and Intervention Units (UIISC) have been participating in 'Operation Héphaïstos' which has been taking place every year during the summer period since 1984. Aiming at fighting forest fires, the the operation took several weeks of training. Each year, the Army takes part in the fight against forest fires in the Mediterranean area within the inter-ministerial operation Héphaïstos. Civil security, engineering, third dimension, are all areas in which it uses its know-how for the benefit of the population and the protection of the territory. It concerns 23 departments in the South of France. UIISCs 1, 5, and 7, specializing in the fight against pollution, floods, technological, radioactive, bacteriological and toxic risks, and forest fires are involved. No less than 50 soldiers, 3 helicopters and 20 vehicles are permanently engaged in prevention missions such as prescribed burning, surveillance, and support for the fight against the outbreak of fires. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=45&v=ks61VrCvesU&feature=emb_logo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_ncUeXqH8s

(11) Thames TV footage of Surrey Fire Brigade turning out.

(12) The last video in this group, the Managing Editors choice, is titled 'A 1900 Victorian Time Machine - Extended Ride Through Town in England' which is filmed from trams. The film has been speed corrected and has added added sound by artist 'Poison Garden', the song being 'New London 1817', from the Album 'A Victorian Carol'. This film is from the Mitchell and Kenyon collection.

The sign on the first tramcar says 'Dean Chemist, Scotland Road ' and this business was in Rochdale, Lancashire. So it is reasonable to assume the filming was in, or about, that area.

You may ask why should I watch this video and 'take the journey'?

Watch carefully because approximately 1minute 40 seconds in the tram passes, to the right, a fire station with an horse drawn steamer and horse drawn ambulance posed for the camera.

Prior to the fire station clip, it has been discovered that the tram was travelling along Edenfield Road, Norden, in the direction of Edenfield. The church of St Paul's is visible on the right near the end of the clip. It is understood that many of the houses and features are still there today.

Does this give a clue to the fire station featured? Let the Editorial Team know if you can enlighten us further.

STOP PRESS:

As we prepared to publish this FRSLINKS4U, Stuart Brandrick alerted us to a video of the recent fire at the The Cadbury Club, on Bournville Lane, Bournville, Birmingham, on the 14th August 2020. Emergency services were called at 16:45hours on that day, to what was a 'significant fire'.
