**ULTRA RARE** BA Pod (on HLT) and LRU Turnout | 二級火警 荔景消防局去勾車 勾車需要運送煙帽櫃到事故現場 細搶救車

HKFSD Lai King Fire Station turnout Breathing Apparatus Pod 4 on Hook-lift Truck F614 and LRU F226 for a No. 2 Alarm fire in Pat Heung.

The BA Pod only responds to a confirmed fire call upon an officer's request. Once it turns out, it will always respond with an LRU/MRU as the Hook-lift Truck only has 2 seats.

There are only four BA Pods in Hong Kong, the three other pods are stationed at Sheung Wan, Sha Tin, and Wong Tai Sin Fire Station; Additionally, there is one Breathing Apparatus Tender Stationed at Tung Chung Fire Station. Occasionally, the HazMat Tender Stationed at Tsim Sha Tsui Fire Station also responds to calls in the nature of a Breathing Apparatus Tender

This is my first time catching a BA Pod/Hook-lift Truck Turnout and I was absolutely flabbergasted when I heard the dispatch go off because of how rarely it turns out.

The Hook-lift Truck can also be seen turning out with HazMat Pod 3 in the Drama Miniseries "Elite Brigade IV", but it is purely fictitious.
