Not all Firefighters do it for pay, we do it for Our Community and each other, rather Paid or Volunteer, Structure or Wildland Firefighting, We are a Unique Family of Brother's and Sister's, We of the Thin Red Line, God Bless
My dad has been a firefighter for about 21 years now he is the fire chief for a county named orange county in va the amount of bad things, wounds , and fires is crazy. just respect all first responders they dont deserve hate for saving lives
been a ff for good bit now. it has its ups and downs. not everyday is a good day. but for those days when everything works out. it helps. when you save the life of the child that was drowning, it helps, when you pull the old man out of the building that was completely engulfed in flames ,alive. it helps. when the community surround these people come uninvited to hand them gifts and words of thanks and gratitude . it helps. we carry on for those who cant. i look forward to many more years in the service and the many days that i will spend doing my best to make an impact on those around me. fight on brothers and sisters. fight on!
I'm asked all the time "Why do you do it?" and all I got is "I just love it". I've worked fire for over 10 years and EMS for 4. Some days are harder than others, some days I cant believe the shift is over, some days it seems like going home is forever away, and some days I don't know how I made it out in one piece. But at the end of every day I kiss my family, tell them I love them, and do it again because I love what I do. Thank You for the tribute.
The news, social media, and random people always call us heroes, we aren’t heroes, we don’t want to be heroes, because heroes do a job and then get overwhelming amounts of attention, because people think heroes are a different life form, people think heroes can do everything and anything in the world, no, we are just everyday people who do dangerous jobs
I am a Medically Retired Fire Capt-EMT-I for a City Fire Dept. That day was the WORST DAY OF MY LIFE !!! I learned that I could NEVER fight fire again , I was the Capt of one of our ladder Trucks and was Dispatched to a Hotel fire in the next Town over , we were to search above the fire for any Guest who were trapped , We had checked 14 rooms got 5 or 6 folks out when the next room we searched , When we hit the middle of the room , It got too hot too fast & the floor was spongy , I Always keep an Ear out of my hood , Old Firefighters trick if your Ear Lobe starts to burn , its time to get out, Well a few sec's after felt it is when the floor felt soft & I yelled get out , BUT we didn't make it out before the floor let go dropping into the fire room & it took about 15 mins before the RIT team could get to us , THAT WAS THE LONGEST 15 mins I ever felt in my life, 3 of us ended up with Smoke Inhalation & after months of Treatments 3 of us were Medically Retired , That was the day all 3 of us agree , IT WAS THE WORST DAY OF OUR LIVES , We could NEVER be Firefighters again , That was 15 years ago. The 3 of us are still good friends & talk some BUT no one wants to meet up with the others because it reminds us of what we can't do BUT STILL LOVE with all our hearts, I'd rather have died in that fire than what how it ended up. Not a day goes by I don't miss the calls , HELL i'd even love to go on a Smells & Bells call , I MISS NOT BEING A FIREFIGHTER BIG TIME !!!! BEST JOB IN THE WORLD !!!
I just got out of the Fire Academy yesterday and I’ve watch this countless time and personally I can say, yeah it’s worth it!!! Every freakin bit of it is worth it!!!
How ya going out of the academy dude? Still loving it? Only a vollie from Australia but yeah, it's a weird thing to want to do and no one does it to get a paycheck. If they do, they don't last long i'd imagine. Damn i do it for free :) Glad to help people who I can!
Volly for 6yrs so far. I run the med calls (our county is about 80% medical) & my hubby does both. My dept has a medical only corp due to the high level of med calls.
i'm not sure where it came from, i had no family involved in the service i just always had the desire to help and the draw to the flames. Got involved at 17 and couldnt get enough
@@whalesauce3647 i suppose it depends on what country you live in and if you simply want to join the county or enter into a specialist field. A half decent high school education is a minimum i would say. Its more about how your brain functions and your approach to situations than having a degree in something. Along as you can understand working pressures, calculate turn around times, frictional losses etc and do this both on the fly and under pressure you will be fine. A good level of reading and writing is also required for understanding briefs and writing reports etc. I wouldn't worry too much, as the saying goes...... Give a Firefighter two ball bearings, he'll break one and lose the other.
Every call that comes over this phone. Get to the shed In the truck, You and your mates waiting patiently to do their job, earily silent. You take a moment to cite the fireman’s prayer. Reflect on your training and keep calm. Get to the incident. Out the truck take a look at her. Get to work. “Nobody truly knows this feeling, and you’re doubting even god knows why”
Old school!!. Remember returning to the Fire Station. Standing under the shower blowing seven different colours of snot out of my nose!! Sometimes having to sprint back to the engine room, still dripping as the bells sounded. (Time and fire waits for no man ) Put on my putrid fire gear and just get on with it. It was my job, what else are you going to do?
Never disobey orders from who ever is in charge on scene, a few years ago there was an early morning residential structure fire in February, holy s-t was there a lot of hoarding in that house, cardboard boxes everywhere, but 2 guys were told to get a ladder and set it up in front of the garage (the garage was in the basement) and from there they would be able to get some water into the second division, but they decided that they couldn't see the fire so they went into the building, few minutes later everyone was told to evacuate the building because the roof was caving in and about to collapse, so they get out of the building and start to climb down the ladder, but at that point there was a little bit of ice on the ladder and a good amount of ice around the window, both of them slipped and fell 2 stories, bot survived and both had to go through months of surgery and recovery
I respect all those before me, But it is firefighter now not fireman. In my town we have 7 women firefighters and we love what we do. Alot has changed over the years, We aren't female firefighters, We are fire fighters!

🫡🍀🤘🏻🎗
I feel your pain brother. Been in it for 33years and have 6 years til my 25 years of full time and my body is literally damaged!

It's a crying shame, an absolute pity that God didn't allow Paul Harvey to live forever. This world would be a much better place today if he had!!!!!!
Amen to that.

5 year volunteer firefighter at an All volunteer house. Best job in the world.
The best tribute out there I've seen so far.
I have been a volunteer for 3 years, NYC EMS for 9 Years, and a NYC firefighter for 19 Years. This is the best tribute video I have ever seen!
We're humbled that you like it, amigo! We made it for people exactly like you.
Tons of respect for these men who risk their life for others. Goosebumps.
Thanks
Frank Markson thanks
I'm so proud! I'm a german firefighter over 10 years! Firefighter is not a job, its a lifestyle! And the death is me best friend...

It is the best. Only Paul Harvey could do it.

Im 20 years old and today i became a fire fighter in Puerto Rico so satisfying to help people risking my life for their's 🔥❤❤
Paul Harvey truly did say it best
May God bless every single one of you brave souls. 💜. Forever grateful.
Volly for 6yrs so far. I run the med calls (our county is about 80% medical) & my hubby does both. My dept has a medical only corp due to the high level of med calls.
This is a very Great video for True Heros - Firefighters and Police officers.
God bless our firefighters & their families. Great video
The best tribute I've ever seen. No question.
My uncle was a firefighter and i am inspired by him to join soon (uncle was a fireman for 1 to 2 years)
The best of luck to you!
You don't choose the job. It chooses you. FF/EMT NH
i think, it's the best Tribute i've ever seen. keep on. nice Work
I just found it and I love it this most
Been retired from the job since 2010 and in a wheelchair from it. I wouldn't change a thing
That was beautiful
I’m going into academy soon. I hope I can make everyone that came before me proud
i'm not sure where it came from, i had no family involved in the service i just always had the desire to help and the draw to the flames. Got involved at 17 and couldnt get enough
Firefighting is not a job its a calling.
Question how do you become a firefighter. Like is there a degree requirement?
@@whalesauce3647 i suppose it depends on what country you live in and if you simply want to join the county or enter into a specialist field.
A half decent high school education is a minimum i would say.
Its more about how your brain functions and your approach to situations than having a degree in something.

I wouldn't worry too much, as the saying goes......
Give a Firefighter two ball bearings, he'll break one and lose the other.
@@whalesauce3647 yeah depends mainly on where you live, if you have a local volunteer fire department check them out or look for a department website
@@whalesauce3647 if I’m the US you can join a volunteer fire company by just going there and asking for a signup form
Best tribute I will ever see.
Wow man … just wow. Amazing… I tip my hat to you sir 🤙🏼
I respect firefighters
Thank you!
This is excellent
Every call that comes over this phone.
Get to the shed
In the truck,
You and your mates waiting patiently to do their job, earily silent. You take a moment to cite the fireman’s prayer.
Reflect on your training and keep calm.
Get to the incident. Out the truck take a look at her.
Get to work.
“Nobody truly knows this feeling, and you’re doubting even god knows why”
Beautifull! I have no words for it!! thnx!
Great tribute.
And don't forget about the fire fighters at Chernobyl They sacrificed they're lives
Awesome job
Been out since 2001 and still fucked I was first fire still miss it
The 18 dislikes are cops
Used to be married to a cop and he and all his brothers liked and were very respectful of firemen.
More than likely LOL.
Yep, they're jealous!!
This is amazing oh my lord
Can't believe 16 people have this a thumbs down. WTF
Smoke eater I bet they are cops! Lol
Your comment was made 1 year ago. 3new dislikes has come since.
Not bad but still heartless those who disliked
Just scared little boys. Maybe typing clerks?
@@lindanwfirefighter4973 19 people wanted to join the fire academy, but they wasn't accepted 'cuz they are p*ssies. XD
@@stasiabv6 TRUTH
Old school!!. Remember returning to the Fire Station. Standing under the shower blowing seven different colours of snot out of my nose!!
Sometimes having to sprint back to the engine room, still dripping as the bells sounded. (Time and fire waits for no man ) Put on my putrid fire gear and just get on with it. It was my job, what else are you going to do?
Why did you dislike that comment? Seriously, would like to know.
Yeah I don't know anyone else who shows up an hour early for work.
That ain’t no joke.
Great work!
Gracias
excellent
Where did you find the Paul Harvey narration?
It's called "Paul Harvey - Fire and Ice" and you can find it on TH-cam.
the best job in world
Bravo🏆🎖️🥇👊👍🥰👨🚒❤️
merci
wow!
Nice
Hey I love the video nice job! Love my job.
отличная работа
grazie
Good
If it said “I got out but the other guy didn’t.” Why did it say “we lost two that day.”
Feniex Industries oh
I interpret it like one man was killed and the guy who lived lost a bit of himself as well with his friends' death.
You never go interior alone
