I'm with everyone else, it's a lot of fun to see how our brothers in the UK do work.
In your initial post, you said the PDA for this was 2 pumps - that's about one-quarter of what most US departments would sent for a fire on the 5th floor of a commercial occupancy like this (for example, my department would send 5 engines and 3 ladder companies, plus staff officers, on the initial alarm). How many total personnel were on the initial alarm?
