0:06:06 > 0:06:11- We'll only use these for a big fire - where there's plenty of water.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- The engine itself - carries 400 gallons.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23- Another new feature of this engine - that we didn't have before...
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- ..is a facility to boil water.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30- To have a cuppa!
0:06:31 > 0:06:32- Very civilized!

0:06:40 > 0:06:45- This has been partially funded - by the community.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- I can comfortably state that - I've saved more lives with this...
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- ..than I have with the fire engine.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01- Yes, having a reliable vehicle - is all-important...
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- ..and always has been...
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- ..as I saw in 1989...

0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Venture onto - an Anglesey back roads...
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- ..and you're guaranteed - to be stuck behind one of them.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- Dafydd, how did you get interested - in vintage machinery?
0:08:23 > 0:08:28- I got into it through my father.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Dad caught the tractor bug...
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- ..and I've followed him, in a way.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- There were old tractors at home, - and I liked to tinker with them.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- You have an important role - with the club.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- I've always liked old machines.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28- She's spent her life on the island.- - Yes, with the EY plate.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- EY was - the old Anglesey registration.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- If vehicles have been sold away, - we try to bring them back home.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- This is the most recent tractor - I've bought.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- A Fordson Major E27N.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- This was built in 1951...

0:09:56 > 0:09:58- What's so special about this model?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- This type of tractor, - with the diesel engine...
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- ..was the deluxe model - of its time, in a way.
0:10:06 > 0:10:12- They tended to be bought by larger - farms and threshing contractors.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Here is the steam engine.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- What does having this in the club - mean to the members?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- This is the flagship - of the club, actually.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- It's our biggest asset.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- It was built back in 1889.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- This was the first steam roller - on Anglesey.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- I got the pleasure - of stripping it down...
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- ..to find out how every part works.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Is it difficult to drive?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- It's not easy!
0:10:50 > 0:10:56- It's about seven miles - from here to the showground.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- It takes about four hours...
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- ..and six sacks of coal!

0:11:10 > 0:11:12- An International B250.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14- This is quite a project.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- It gives me a lot of pleasure - and I learn a lot from doing it.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- They're so simple that you can do - most of the work yourself.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- You don't have to plug in a laptop - as you do with modern tractors.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- When you finish the job, - you can take it around the shows...
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- ..enjoy what you've accomplished...
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- ..and socialize with people.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- When is this year's show?

0:12:21 > 0:12:23- It's up to the third storey level.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- That's about 45 feet.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32- As you can hear from the engine, - it's a water pump, but it's quiet.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- Would you like a go - holding the hose?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- How much pressure is in it?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- I'm not going up there!
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- I'm not going up there!- - Grab the hose down here.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Dylan, let Dai take over.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- You can stay on terra firma!
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Hold it behind here.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04- If you do rise off the ground...
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- ..we'll drop the pressure!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- You haven't moved yet.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Can you feel it?
0:13:12 > 0:13:13- Can you feel it?- - I've got it.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- It's heavy to hold.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Hold on!
0:13:23 > 0:13:24- Good grief!
0:13:24 > 0:13:25- Be careful with it!
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- There'll be water in the shops!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- Hold on to it, man!

0:16:19 > 0:16:22- You and the company - provide a service.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- When the call comes, - the men have to go.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- I think it's important.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Dylan is my under-manager here.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35- It's important to the community - that this company gives them time...
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- ..to fulfil their duties - with their other job.

0:17:40 > 0:17:41- You sell animal feed.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- You sell animal feed.- - No, more animal health.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Wormers and vaccines.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Dairy hygiene, those products.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- You can be anywhere - when the call comes.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- Because I cover Pembrokeshire, - I'm out of the area during the day.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- I provide cover - on evenings and weekends.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- You're a happy bunch here.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- The brigade are a good lot, - the locals are a good lot as well.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- They're always raising money - for the first responder.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Cheques come in - almost every other week.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- I've seen how important - such a service is...
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- ..especially in rural areas.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Look at these hills.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Hay has to be harvested - and accidents can happen.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- You think they won't, but they do.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32- You think they won't, but they do.- - Do you want a coffee?
0:18:32 > 0:18:33- I'll get it for you.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- I'll get it for you.- - No, I've got one.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36- You've got one?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- Well, if you're offering...
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- When a Cardi offers you a coffee, - it means a lot!
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- You'll want it back in discounts!
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Yes, you need - to strike a bargain sometimes.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- Sometimes, you must take a chance...
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- ..like the syndicate - at Gorsgoch's Cefn Hafod pub...
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- ..when they bought a greyhound.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- # Greyhound greyhound, - greyhound greyhound
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- # Give more food to the greyhound #
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- Greyhound races - were popular in the old days.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- After giving up rugby, - we wanted something new.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- My neighbour breeds greyhounds.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26- We had a chat and it took off, - more people came on board.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- There are ten of us in the syndicate - and we're all into greyhound racing.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35- Milgi Milgi is his name.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- He ran at Monmore Green - and he's got better and better.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43- He is fast.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- He runs on the outside - and passes them all.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- He's like lightning.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- We bank overseas now, don't we?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- We bank overseas now, don't we?- - For tax purposes.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54- It's serious.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Come to the races and you'll see.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- Come on, Milgi Milgi!
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Off we go then!
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- We haven't seen him - running live before.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- It's a lot cheaper - to keep a greyhound than a horse.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34- # Greyhound greyhound, - greyhound greyhound
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- # Give more food to the greyhound
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- # Greyhound greyhound, - greyhound greyhound #
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- The Cardis are in Wolverhampton.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- It's a good place - with a warm welcome.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- I can't get over - the speed of the dogs.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- I spoke to two or three pundits.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- I told them - we're a syndicate of owners.
0:21:10 > 0:21:16- They said he's a good dog, - they've seen him run before.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- That he must win tonight - because we're up here.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- I didn't know you spoke English!
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- I walked the track - and it's a bit damp.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26- If he keeps out of it...
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- If he keeps out of it...- - I think he'll do OK tonight.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- The wind's behind him. - He's a big dog so a wind helps.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34- I'm a bit nervous now.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35- I'm a bit nervous now.- - Come on, Milgi!
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- That last bend, he was flying!
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- He's a remarkable dog.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- That's a Welsh heart!
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- There are no words, - there are no words.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19- How much did you put on?
0:22:19 > 0:22:20- How much did you put on?- - A fiver.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- I put a tenner on him, - more than I've ever done.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- We've cleaned them out!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- It was worth coming up, - it really was.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- What an incredible trip.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37- We won't get another one like it - for a long while.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- # Greyhound greyhound, - greyhound greyhound
0:22:40 > 0:22:45- # Give more food to the greyhound
0:22:45 > 0:22:50- # Greyhound greyhound, - greyhound greyhound
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- # Give more food to the greyhound #
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- Congratulations to Milgi Milgi - and the Gorsgoch syndicate.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Back at Crymych fire station...
0:23:05 > 0:23:11- ..this team must also pull together - for everything to work...
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- ..whatever their day jobs are.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- I'm Glyn Vaughan - and I'm crew manager at Crymych.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- I've been with the fire service - for almost 20 years.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Glyn's a farmer - and he works very hard.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32- He's on call 24 hours a day, - seven days a week.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Glyn brings something extra - to the engine.
0:23:36 > 0:23:42- I can turn to him for advice - about helping animals and so on.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- Glyn, my boy.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47- Glyn, my boy.- - It's nice to see you, Dai.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48- Welcome to the farm.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- Welcome to the farm.- - It's a chilly morning.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- It's not a day to be outside!
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- You're a dairy farmer.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- You're a dairy farmer.- - Yes, we've always milked.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- I was born here - and we milk 100 to 120 cows.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02- Do you?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Do you?- - We rear all our own stock.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- I tell you, the smell of cattle!
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- I haven't seen a cow this week!
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- I don't care what they say.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- If I'm not near an animal, - my world's at an end
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- Yes, it's nice to see them.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- I've been with the fire service - for 20 years.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- I'd wanted to do it - since I was a child.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- It's a total change from farming.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- When the pager goes off, - you don't know what's in store.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- You could be pulling a calf.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- You drop everything and go.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Come in, Dai. It's cold out there.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44- Friesian calves.
0:24:45 > 0:24:45- Do you use a lot of the Friesians?
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- Do you use a lot of the Friesians?- - Yes, I've always liked them.
0:24:49 > 0:24:55- But we do use some Holstein - to increase the size.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00- But there are a lot of big Friesian - bulls around nowadays.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- There weren't years ago.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- When the siren rings, - you have to go.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- I suppose you have to put the farm - completely out of your mind.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11- You can't forget it.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- If you have to leave - just as a cow is about to calve...
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- ..it's in the back of your mind.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- That's where mobile phones - come in handy.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- You can phone home - to see what's happening.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28- Maybe you'll be gone for 30 minutes, - it might be ten hours.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29- You never know.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31- That comes with the job.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- It's a bitter wind.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39- It's a bitter wind.- - It is a cold one.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- My father called it a lazy wind.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- It goes through you, not around.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Come in for a cuppa, Dai.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- I'm glad to see you, Mair.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- It was cold outside.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- Do you ever worry - when he gets called out?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Or that he's away for a long time?
0:26:01 > 0:26:05- Sometimes, - maybe more in the early days .
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- You get used to it.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Now, she moans when I'm back!
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- And I bet you ask her - if she's fed the calves.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- I make sure that's done - before I come back!
0:26:19 > 0:26:20- .
0:26:25 > 0:26:25- Subtitles
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:26:37 > 0:26:42- Later, Meleri Garn Fach - learns a new way of shepherding.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- I'm still not confident.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Third gear is fast enough for me.
0:26:54 > 0:27:00- Back at Crymych fire station, - one of the biggest changes...
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- ..is that women now play - a leading role in the team.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- This is Shelley, - fiancee of boss Euros.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- I'm Shelley Reynolds.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- I've been at the station - for about 18 years now.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- I also work - as a hairdresser locally.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- Shelley is the first woman - to join the service at Crymych.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- She can do the job - as well as any of us.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33- We always have fun on Mondays, - and out on calls as well.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35- Never a dull moment.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- When we go out as firefighters, - we go out united as one.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- No men, no women, - we're firefighters.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49- How are you, Dai?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Not bad, Shelley, so far!
0:27:51 > 0:27:52- Not bad, Shelley, so far!- - Good.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- I'm not pulling your leg now.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01- Only one woman has cut my hair - for many years now.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- Can you follow what she's done?
0:28:03 > 0:28:04- Can you follow what she's done?- - I'll give it a shot!
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- What's it to be? - A number one all over?
0:28:07 > 0:28:08- Is that really short?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Is that really short?- - Yes, like a convict.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11- I don't want that.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- I don't want that.- - Do you use gel or wax?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- Don't you like that stuff?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- Earwax is enough trouble.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- You'd better take off your glasses.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26- They need a good clean!
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- My face needs attention as well.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- What do you call them? The eyebrows.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35- They need a trim.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- They need a trim.- - Yes, probably.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- You've got caterpillars!
0:28:40 > 0:28:41- Some water now, Dai.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- When did you start - with the fire service?
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Almost 18 years ago now.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- You must have been young.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52- Yes, I was 20.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55- What was it that appealed to you?
0:28:55 > 0:29:00- When I was at school, about 14, - I wanted to join back then.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06- That kind of thing, - a paramedic or the fire service.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11- The fire service it was, - and I really enjoy it.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- I'm treated like the men.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17- Every course I go on, - I do just the same as them.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19- I'm better than some men sometimes!
0:29:19 > 0:29:20- I'm better than some men sometimes!- - You tell them.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26- I think we women are better - at dealing with children...
0:29:27 > 0:29:29- ..and old people.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- At traffic accidents and so on.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- At traffic accidents and so on.- - The mothering instinct kicks in.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41- I was just looking - at this cabinet here.
0:29:41 > 0:29:47- It's full of toys, but you do - both work in the same place.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50- Have you both been collecting?
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- Well, Euros, mostly.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- Birthday and Christmas presents.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01- You must get on well - if you give each other presents!
0:30:01 > 0:30:03- We do get on well, I must say.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- Euros is the boss...
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- ..but only for two hours a week!
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- While we train for two hours - every Monday, he's the boss.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- While we're here, I'm the boss.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22- Who'd argue with the fairer sex - when they want their own way?
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- Meleri Garn Fach - is quite a woman too.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- There's more than one way - to check on a flock of sheep...
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- ..but no-one does it quite like - Rheinallt Davies of Llanwrin.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- Hello, Rheinallt. - It's nice to meet you.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- How did you start riding - one of these?
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- I got my first motorbike - when I was six.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- My brothers also got one each.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- We'd go out around the farm - after school and at weekends...
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- ..and our riding - constantly improved.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- Does it come in handy on the farm?
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- Does it come in handy on the farm?- - It's very handy to gather sheep.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- It goes places a quad can't - and our dogs aren't brilliant.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- You've also represented Wales.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29- I rode a trials bike until I was 16.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34- I then got one of these bikes - and competed all over Britain.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- I also represented Wales.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38- Any chance I can have a go?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- Of course. I'll kit you out first.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- The padding is crucial. - These are for your knees.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52- How likely is it - that I'll hurt myself?
0:31:53 > 0:31:54- No comment!
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- With all the protection, - you should be OK.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00- I hope you're right.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01- I hope you're right.- - And me!
0:32:04 > 0:32:06- There you are, ready to go.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- OK, Meleri, jump on.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14- Raise the stand.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16- This side, we have the clutch.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- The front brake is that side.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- The throttle is there.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24- The throttle is there.- - Twist back?
0:32:25 > 0:32:26- What horsepower is this?
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- I'd say it's 15 or 20 horsepower.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33- Something like that.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- Something like that.- - I'm used to more than that.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38- Clutch in.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39- Clutch in.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41- And just a touch of throttle.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43- Feel the bite.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52- You're a natural!
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- You'll be faster than me - at this rate!
0:33:03 > 0:33:04- I'll see you then!
0:33:07 > 0:33:08- Crikey!
0:33:08 > 0:33:10- Crikey!- - Clutch in. Good.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15- I'll be there now!
0:33:20 > 0:33:21- BLEEPS
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- I'm still not confident.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- Third gear is fast enough for me.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36- OK, how do I stop?
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- I'm enjoying it. It's fun.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- How long did it take you - to reach the level you're at?
0:33:45 > 0:33:46- Years of practice.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48- Not days, years.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- It's mostly confidence and practice.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07- The adrenalin, the speed, - riding a motorbike is special.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- You make it look so easy.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20- You went uphill and downhill.

0:35:24 > 0:35:27- Hair in the ears - is a sign of strength.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39- They're long, longer than your hair.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- They're whiter than my hair.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44- I almost need a strimmer!
0:35:46 > 0:35:48- You're posh now.
0:35:48 > 0:35:53- You couldn't be more careful - cutting the Pope's hair, fair play.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08- The children are proud of that.

0:39:13 > 0:39:17- ..are about to enter - the depths of the rugby club.

0:39:20 > 0:39:25- He tells the crew - who'll be entering the building...
0:39:26 > 0:39:27- ..exactly what I told him.
0:39:28 > 0:39:28- They don't know what to expect.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29- They don't know what to expect.- - No, not a clue.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- We need fires to learn.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37- This way, we can learn - and eliminate any mistakes.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- They must imagine - that the place is full of smoke.
0:39:48 > 0:39:49- They enter in darkness...
0:39:49 > 0:39:51- They enter in darkness...- - My legs are like jelly already!
0:39:51 > 0:39:53- We'll follow them slowly.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- MUFFLED SHOUTS
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- I don't understand - what they're saying.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- They shout when they find a door.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10- Have you got the thermal imager?
0:40:10 > 0:40:12- Have you found any bodies?
0:40:13 > 0:40:14- Look at this, Dai.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19- You can see three firefighters - wearing their uniforms.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- They shut out heat sources.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- Jac, take off your coat.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- Jac Pontfaen is hot stuff!
0:40:29 > 0:40:31- You can see the heat source.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41- Tomi's keeping his reference point, - his leg is against the door.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43- He won't move from there.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- They only take one out at a time.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51- When they do that, they communicate - by radio to those outside...
0:40:51 > 0:40:55- ..to tell them - that they're bringing one out...
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- ..but that there are still - two others inside.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03- They then send in more firefighters - to search these rooms.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08- Yes, practice makes perfect.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12- That also holds true - if Elis is to realize his dream.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16- Elis Morris is a city boy...
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- Elis Morris is a city boy...- - Milking!
0:41:18 > 0:41:21- But his heart's set - on being a farmer.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- I'm Elis and I live out of Cardiff.
0:41:24 > 0:41:25- I'm Elis and I live out of Cardiff.- - Out of Cardiff?
0:41:26 > 0:41:30- As you can see, - I've got a lot of stock on my farm.
0:41:30 > 0:41:35- I've been saving to buy a farm - for as long as I can remember.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41- Until then, I help my relatives - in North Wales...
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- ..and learn a few tricks - about farming.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- Today, we're at Treflyn - near Caernarfon...
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- I told you it was difficult!
0:41:59 > 0:42:02- We're in Carmel, - just outside Caernarfon.
0:42:02 > 0:42:07- We're here to see - Oxford Sandy & Black pigs.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- They're a rare breed of pigs.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20- They're one of the cutest things - in the world.
0:42:22 > 0:42:23- Pigs.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28- How old are these pigs?
0:42:28 > 0:42:30- How old are these pigs?- - Five weeks.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34- The best way to catch them - is by the back legs...
0:42:35 > 0:42:38- ..then put an arm underneath.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47- What's the difference - between a boy and a girl?
0:42:47 > 0:42:49- Between a boy and a girl?
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- Well, shall I show you?
0:42:54 > 0:42:55- Yes, please.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58- Go and catch one.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- What's this one?
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- What do you think that is?
0:43:05 > 0:43:06- A girl.
0:43:06 > 0:43:07- A girl.- - A boy?
0:43:07 > 0:43:08- Yes.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10- Is it a boy?
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- That's a boy, isn't it?
0:43:12 > 0:43:14- Oh, yes.
0:43:14 > 0:43:15- Oh, yes.- - This one's a girl.
0:43:16 > 0:43:17- Yes, it's a girl.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23- You can see the little dots.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28- They need seven teats on each side.
0:43:28 > 0:43:29- That makes 14.
0:43:30 > 0:43:31- Will you keep this one?
0:43:32 > 0:43:34- She could be kept as a brood sow.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36- Are you going to?
0:43:36 > 0:43:41- But she must also have - four white socks...
0:43:41 > 0:43:45- Four white socks, yes.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48- She must also have - a white blaze on her snout.
0:43:48 > 0:43:49- Yes.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53- A white tip on the tail.
0:43:53 > 0:43:54- Yes.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57- This one would make a brood sow.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02- The males also need seven teats - on each side to be registered.
0:44:02 > 0:44:06- Six on one side, seven on - the other. That one's no good.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07- Sausages!
0:44:10 > 0:44:12- Have you ever mucked out pigs?
0:44:12 > 0:44:15- No, only cattle and sheep.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18- We're ready to muck out!
0:44:23 > 0:44:24- It stinks.
0:44:24 > 0:44:28- You need a poor sense of smell!
0:44:29 > 0:44:34- You have to scatter the bale, - not leave big chunks.
0:44:35 > 0:44:36- I know.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39- I know.- - Why don't you do it then?
0:44:39 > 0:44:41- Elis!
0:44:45 > 0:44:47- Pigs need a lot of water.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49- Yes, they do.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58- Back into the sty you go.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06- We've learnt a lot - about pigs today.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09- Thanks to Sian for teaching us.
0:45:09 > 0:45:10- What do you say?
0:45:11 > 0:45:14- I'm having pigs on my farm.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16- They do stink though.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20- I'll stick to plastic ones for now.
0:45:28 > 0:45:32- Elis dreams of being a farmer...
0:45:32 > 0:45:38- ..while this crew dreamt - of being firefighters in Crymych.
0:45:41 > 0:45:45- I wanted to join the fire service - since I was 14 years old.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49- I'd wanted to do it - since I was a child.
0:45:50 > 0:45:54- My father was at the station, - then Euros joined.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56- It was in the blood.
0:45:58 > 0:46:02- With my team at Crymych, - when I ask for anything...
0:46:03 > 0:46:04- ..it gets done.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07- We're a family, really.
0:46:08 > 0:46:09- We have a lot of fun.
0:46:11 > 0:46:15- We all work for each other, - we always help each other out.
0:46:15 > 0:46:19- If anyone has a problem, - someone at the station will help.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24- We need that spirit.
0:46:25 > 0:46:29- If any of us had a problem, - I doubt we'd manage without it.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32- That's how we keep - the station on call...
0:46:32 > 0:46:35- ..24 hours a day, - seven days a week.
0:46:35 > 0:46:40- If there are two of you - inside a burning house...
0:46:40 > 0:46:44- ..you must trust each other - to do the job properly.
0:46:45 > 0:46:50- If two go in, two must come out, - and trust is a big part of that.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54- I hope, after my time...
0:46:54 > 0:47:00- ..that this station will flourish - on the foundations we've laid.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04- I do this to give something back - to the community.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08- That's it, really, pure and simple.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12- I must say, - having spent time with you...
0:47:12 > 0:47:15- ..I'll never forget it - and I want to thank you...
0:47:16 > 0:47:20- ..as a fire and rescue service, - on behalf of thousands of people...
0:47:20 > 0:47:22- ..for your dedication.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24- This isn't an easy job.
0:47:24 > 0:47:25- This isn't an easy job.- - No, it isn't.
0:47:25 > 0:47:29- But it's an important job, - and I've enjoyed my day.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32- It's opened my eyes - and many congratulations to you.
0:47:33 > 0:47:34- Thank you, Dai.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37- You'll always be welcome in Crymych.
