andrew. Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 we drove past it on the way home. it seems like someone is burning part of a demolished house? or we saw some tyres nearby someone could be burning them. theres a shit-load of smoke though and its thick black smoke.

Guest Les Stroszek Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 I was coming back home today on the Megabus and seen that there seemed to be a fire from the top of Kincorth/Altens and the fire was spreading across into Torry.

incredibledisc Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 In a not unrelated question - why the hell does Aberdeen have white Fire engines rather than the more traditional red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 cause the fire brigade can't afford red paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incredibledisc Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 cause the fire brigade can't afford red paint"BARUMP-PUMP TISH! Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. While you're here try our excellent sea food menu. Anyway, I love my wife - I take her everywhere ...but she still finds her way home. My wife said she wanted to go somewhere different for her holidays ...I said how about the kitchen. My wife is a bad cook, but not as bad as her mother - I wouldn't say her stew was bad but every time she makes it the local pygmy tribe come round to dip their spears in. Honestly though, my mother in law is a very special lady, she looks like a fairytale ...Grimm!"Everyone's a comedian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 hahahah I'll be here tommorow night, I like your show!!Fire engines aint red cause they aint.. get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 According to research, red is actually a really bad colour in terms of visibility, especially at night. Under sodium lighting red looks almost black. Statistically, you're more likely to get hit if you drive a red car...White with luminous green stripes is simply easier to see. It's why all other emergency vehicles use it - red for Fire was simply traditional. Grampian were about the first to go against tradition and use common sense.
