Shouts

A Night with the Blue Watch at Brixton Fire Station A Tuesday Documentary Five-thirty pm and the 13 firemen on the Blue Watch start drifting into the baroque fire station. By six o'clock they're on parade, beginning a watch that will take them through until nine the following morning. Station Officer LOU GILL knows that his 12 firemen are a highly-trained élite, hand-picked to man one of London's busiest fire stations: Brixton. None of the firemen, even the seasoned ones like Lou and Mad Mick , will get much sleep. But Winkle and Milky are new to the job: for them each ' shout', when the bells ring all over the station and the fire appliances roar out into the night, will be a test. For arson, accidental fire and death are all part of the job as they go about an ordinary night. Film cameraman JOHN WALKER Film editor HOWARD SHARP Producer FISHER DILKE
