As an older volunteer firefighter in a small town in the North East Kingdom of Vermont, I can honestly say, this is a great documentary! Many thanks to those who put it together.
Franklin county VT here. I'm a 4th or 5th generation firefighter. (Can't keep track with the amount of volunteer firefighters on both sides of my family.)
The more I read idiots commenting inappropriately on things they know nothing about, the easier it becomes to ignore said idiots. I'm forever grateful and glad that there are people out there in the rescue & aid field. Saved my life more than once. Twice, actually.
so much negativity towards fireman , Sad I'm currently a volunteer for 3 years definitely stressful taking classes and training going to calls and working 12-16 hour days plus having 3 kids any way this firehouse is extremely organized and well equipped very neat and clean it's awesome to see that in a department
In my opinion going to work everyday knowing you can die in the name of helping people and possible saving someones life is extremely heroic. And I would die any day for that message, and I sure as hell wouldn't die for the ideals of being a roofer
I have done that as awell as most of his videos, Being a firefighter is one of the best jobs you could ever do. we dont squirt water from "a hose pipe"! if you are going to make fun of something at east research it and get the facts about what actually happens on the job first
great video. and love the song at the end (anyone else have that scene from Ladder 49 running through their head?). Hoping that after graduation I can check out moving from my volunteer company to the city fire company with my cousin in law.
Not to knock this firefighter, but he 'doesn't ever think about getting killed on the job'. I've talked about this with many a fellow co-worker (firefighters), and we all think about getting killed on the job. Yes, we don't dwell on it, but it does cross your mind every now and then.
jonathan snyder No, I usually don't think about getting killed on the way to a call. Like I said in my earlier comment, we don't dwell on it. But if you never think about the possibilities of being seriously injured or killed that can also not be a good thing. We're not invincible the last time I checked. From your photo you appear to be younger than me. I've been doing this since 2001 and would like to do it even longer. Stay safe.....
ok I got ya. Just misread your comment the first time. Yea it should definitely be realized that the chance is there. Which is emphasized during rit/mayday drills. I'm 28, did some firefighting when I was in the Navy, but haven't been an actual firefighter for too long.
Those lists go by how many people die on the job, not occupational hazards. Firemen are trained/educated in safety protocols better than most laborers. It takes more wherewithal to survive in and save people from a burning building, than to not fall off a roof.
i know this is way off topic for the video but when the first guy was being interviewed i noticed the engineers stairs were still extended even though the door was shut. i thought the stairs retracted once the door was shut
AJ Isaacs was my childhood bestfriends father. It was disheartening to find out months after his death that he had been stealing drugs from the department and overdosed from it.
@quintj1012 OCFA Is in Orange County California. i was an OCFA Fire Explorer and that did not look like it was from cali. and the ambulance you saw is Orange County Fire Rescue not OCFA (:
Saw the part of the video where you and your fellow firefighters were redoing the hoses and putting them back onto the truck, worse thing that could happen there is fi all of a sudden right in the middle of you putting the hoses back, you get a call and you need to go out in the truck, what would you do in this case, I mean would you just go ahead and finish putting the hose(s) back on the truck as quickly as possible or what would you do???? Also I have always wondered this one for a long time, say if you were cooking dinner or whatever the stove that a lot of departments have and all of a sudden you got a call, would you always be sure that you completely turn off the stove or oven and hoping that you are able to save and reheat dinner when you all get back??????? I saw when that one guy was putting his gear on, saw that real old timer of a truck behind him, would you be able to advise what year and what make that was?????
Less than 2 years on the job? This kid doesn't even know enough to know he doesn't know shit yet. Hell, I'm on the downward slide and everytime I walk into the fire house I realize I don't know shit and there's still a ton to learn about this job. But he loves the job, so hopefully he'll get there one day.
I wonder who you gonna call when your son is trapped in your burning house, when your wife gets a heart attack, when your daughter is having an anaphylactic reaction, when your sorry ass gets in a car wreck and the " metal cutters" will get you out of there. The moment you call 911 will be the moment you will push the like button for this video
Great documentary....but just one thing to keep in mind. I'm all for getting the job done, I'm all for NOT letting RIT/2-in 2-out rule our fireground operations, I'm all for actually putting our citizens before us...but by nature this job IS dangerous...there IS risk every time the tones drop. To have the attitude this FF does of "it never enters my mind" is a dangerous mentality to have.
aww whats the matter poor baby got rejected from the fire dept dont call 911 when your trapped inside a burning house just call a contractor and see if they get you out in a hurry
And no explain to me how your roofing work helps anyone like mine does? PLEASE I would love to know. I could give a fuck who dies more, when a firefighter dies he/she dies a hero in the line of duty
There is a big difference in being a drama queen and correcting someone. Now I know what its like to roof, I helped put a roof a garage this summer. And I don't know what its like to be in burning building cause Im to young at the moment. But Ive wore the gear pulled hose and have dealings with fire fighters every month. Ask yourself this question if there was a random stranger in a burning house. But no one s around, uld you go in that house and save him? And where are you from? Ireland or UK
maybe because firefighters stand on a roof with flames and heat shooting at them and run into burning buildings to save lives...so yeah, they are special. is roofing dangerous? of course, but OSHA codes state that roofers need to wear harnesses. properly done they should be safe. i take my firefighters exam tomorrow, cant wait till im doing something special for my community.
So dying to protect someone else mends nothing to you? Most occupations provide a service/good. Firefighting provides your life safety. I'm a volunteer, i don't even get paid to run into your burning house to save your life. I do it, as most others do, because i care. Its about community service. No real firefighter does it to "be a firefighter" they do it to help save lives and make a direct impact on the world.
mrmarijiuanakills dude. just stop bashing what we do. seriously. now i do agree with you that roofing is a pretty dangerous job cause i do that for apartment complexes. but i can honestly say that firefighting is much more dangerous. im a volunteer firefighter so i know the dangers that we face when the tones drop. doesnt matter what is is. were not no drama queens. we take time out of our lives to save peoples lives. and we dont know what were gonna face at a call. but we do it anyways. so stop
So you obviously have a respect for the military. Well sir here is a piece of information for you alt of the technology the department use comes from the Navy. Some thing else Id say if any firefighter new who you were they would beat the ever living crap out of you but if that same day your house caught fire those same firefighters would be there in an instant to save your life and they would do it and not think twice. I am proud to say I want to be a police officer and a volunteer firefighter.
I dont get it, this is supposed to be a fun documentary about firefighting and what not that we should all enjoy....so why and how do the comments go from talking about the video to so many childish ppl arguing about nonsense? If you dont know anything about what we do and the fire service, I'm sure your local fire station would be more than happy to give you a tour and educate you more on everything. Otherwise keep your childish mentality off of here.....or better yet, join a fire department!
im here to tell you theres plenty of guys that are "bigger" and they perform better and more efficiently than the fit and overly cross fit obsessed guys. unless you do what we do and know shut the hell up. what we do is a spectacular challenge. never bad mouth us. don't wait wait til you need us to say"positive things." imagine what we do in our shoes...away from kids,wives,girlfriends,and missing birthdays,weddings,christmas,new years,all holidays we may be working. because guess what were no 9-5 were 24/7!
Ya know, not trying to sound like a smart-ass or anything, but as big as the U.S. is, don't ya think that there is a slight chance that there may be more than 1 department with "Orange County" in the name?......
@MrMarijuanaKills based on that reasoning a soldier is safe cause they have a helmet and cops are safe cause they have a protective vest. Stop trolling bro, I'm sorry you don't think firefighting is special, but don't bash a profession you've never been a part off. If you're house ever goes up in flames or a loved one needs assistance from a firefighter, maybe then you'll appreciate what they do.
no its not its more than just putting putting the wet stuff on the hot stuff its rescue venting we have things that killl us like backdraft and flashover you sir are ignorant and stop hatting on us becuase we get all the chicks becuase there aree times we can the leave the house and never come back and see our families again. each call can be our last
@MrMarijuanaKills and everyone else that is fighting with him. there is really no point in fighting with him. all he has ever sean appearently is firefighters on youtube, he has never experienced how it feels to be a firefighter, nor will he ever or even get a job that matters in this world because he probably cant pass a drug test.
paid firefighters have higher standards of course, youve probably seen Volunteers. My Chief is a big guy but he can do the job and does it well, I dont see why fat means your bad at what you do
They don't do it because they have ppe How many people do you know thatd go and do these things? Huh? You lad are just trying to pick a fight and you successfully pissing off the wrong people. If there were no firefighters the world would go crazy in a week or two.
Now you're contradicting yourself buddy. So anyone would go in, I asked multiple people today they said they wouldn't. But say they all would then you would prove yourself wrong cause then firemen wouldn't go in just cause they have the gear. Now you don't have to think they're heroic that's your opinion and your entitled to it. But that doesn't mean you can go around posting jackass comment on tributes. So do please stop.

Nobody should be hating on volunteers.. They do the same job as paid guys but for free. They do it because they love doing it
so much negativity towards fireman , Sad I'm currently a volunteer for 3 years definitely stressful taking classes and training going to calls and working 12-16 hour days plus having 3 kids any way this firehouse is extremely organized and well equipped very neat and clean it's awesome to see that in a department
You're a winner.. Aren't you? A real piece of work.
Old firemen never die, they just go to blazes, ,! Still waiting, at 89 years old!!!
This was very well done!
Awesome job guys!
Good job setting up this documentary. Kudos from MDFR.
PA Volunteer Firefighter for 2 years and still going strong!
In my opinion going to work everyday knowing you can die in the name of helping people and possible saving someones life is extremely heroic. And I would die any day for that message, and I sure as hell wouldn't die for the ideals of being a roofer
Nice Video =] I'm a volunteer firefighter and we are just about the same but responded from home and leave after the call
Great post!
Thank for what you do.
***** you my friend are an absolute jerk and have no idea how much firefighters do to save people. go and be a bitch somewhere else
I have done that as awell as most of his videos, Being a firefighter is one of the best jobs you could ever do. we dont squirt water from "a hose pipe"! if you are going to make fun of something at east research it and get the facts about what actually happens on the job first
***** No. But you are obsessed with telling everyone you're a roofer and just how dangerous it is. Just as lame as claiming to be brave.
bsi scene safety, the only thing above the call
After I get out of school I want to get in a Career Position with a Fire Department. I sure hope I find a department like this someday to be on!
Great doc, very well done
this a a VERY good video. best on youtube? i think so. great job. especially with the HD, everyone else has either 240p or 360p.
great video!!
great video. and love the song at the end (anyone else have that scene from Ladder 49 running through their head?). Hoping that after graduation I can check out moving from my volunteer company to the city fire company with my cousin in law.
Awesome video man! I thought it was great how you got in there and did that :) . Seems like a real nice sunny place there as well!
i feel the same way keep up the great work
Very good job!
I drive by Pierce Manufacturing everyday on my way to school. Best apparatus there is.
Хорошая документалистика о жизни пожарных!
I love how after Sept.11 every department in the country started painting their trucks in the FDNY paint scheme.
Not to knock this firefighter, but he 'doesn't ever think about getting killed on the job'. I've talked about this with many a fellow co-worker (firefighters), and we all think about getting killed on the job. Yes, we don't dwell on it, but it does cross your mind every now and then.
you think about getting killed on your way to a call? that's a pretty scary place to be man. Not sure if that's a good thing.
jonathan snyder No, I usually don't think about getting killed on the way to a call. Like I said in my earlier comment, we don't dwell on it.

Very nice! by a brazilian firefighter.

awesome awesome video
I cant wait to finish my training and enter the brotherhood!
i know this is way off topic for the video but when the first guy was being interviewed i noticed the engineers stairs were still extended even though the door was shut. i thought the stairs retracted once the door was shut
very cool video
I'm totally applying for Winter Park now lol.
Very NICE JOB!!!
HHHHHH
That's some nice apparatus ya'll got there!
AJ Isaacs was my childhood bestfriends father. It was disheartening to find out months after his death that he had been stealing drugs from the department and overdosed from it.
@JordanLittleFilms was this just with winter park or was it filmed with other fire stations?
@quintj1012 OCFA Is in Orange County California. i was an OCFA Fire Explorer and that did not look like it was from cali. and the ambulance you saw is Orange County Fire Rescue not OCFA (:
My fire alarm goes off all the time and I have never seen a fire man come to my house, this is really dangerous.
I G N O R E domestic fire alarms are usually not connected to 911 dispatch as far as I know.
Nice Doc! What kind of camera(s) and mic(s) did you use?
Is that a pre-1998 Cairns 5A New Yorker I see? I think it is! Sweet helmet man.
nice video
Can you do a second video like this? One where you just record calls
how do you go about filming your local fire department?
Saw the part of the video where you and your fellow firefighters were redoing the hoses and putting them back onto the truck, worse thing that could happen there is fi all of a sudden right in the middle of you putting the hoses back, you get a call and you need to go out in the truck, what would you do in this case, I mean would you just go ahead and finish putting the hose(s) back on the truck as quickly as possible or what would you do????

I saw when that one guy was putting his gear on, saw that real old timer of a truck behind him, would you be able to advise what year and what make that was?????
what do you think?....oh yeah you cant
also if thats the case someone will take that particular hose off. each truck has 4-5 hoses
What was this shot with?
i want to know what kind of helmet scott has. thanks
unsung heroes
I'm watching this at 6:30 am
My Name is Scott McAulay... I am a firefighter, pretty funny there is another one out there who is a firefighter too!!!!
Do you know anything about the fire service?
Just though Id post that Im a MacAulay and a firefighter as well . Be safe brothers.
what kind of helmet does he have?
Less than 2 years on the job? This kid doesn't even know enough to know he doesn't know shit yet. Hell, I'm on the downward slide and everytime I walk into the fire house I realize I don't know shit and there's still a ton to learn about this job.

Great documentary....but just one thing to keep in mind.

5:42 : Stormtrooper voice ftw

+Adam Dancoff gotcha thanks
it's a cairns n5a new yorker
thanks sir
MrMarijuanaKills & mrarches Sorry you guys couldn't make the cut.
you seriously have a problem with firefighters. cause you truly have you butt on your shoulders.
Good old medical alarm accidental trips.
In the United Kingdom it's in the top 10 dangerous jobs -cough-
aww whats the matter poor baby got rejected from the fire dept dont call 911 when your trapped inside a burning house just call a contractor and see if they get you out in a hurry
3:26 My Uncle use to do that to me lol
And no explain to me how your roofing work helps anyone like mine does? PLEASE I would love to know. I could give a fuck who dies more, when a firefighter dies he/she dies a hero in the line of duty

one person doesnt know wat its like to be apart of a brother hood
Hilarious!!
Alrright.... say stuff about vollies but when vollies beat the full timers to a fire and its the same distance thats just sad
maybe because firefighters stand on a roof with flames and heat shooting at them and run into burning buildings to save lives...so yeah, they are special. is roofing dangerous? of course, but OSHA codes state that roofers need to wear harnesses. properly done they should be safe. i take my firefighters exam tomorrow, cant wait till im doing something special for my community.
We have 1:30 with scba
comment to the fire department I love engine 161 light bar
Yet another firefighter video you're on..

Whats so special about being a roofer? On average, how many people are saved by roofers every year?
I dont get it, this is supposed to be a fun documentary about firefighting and what not that we should all enjoy....so why and how do the comments go from talking about the video to so many childish ppl arguing about nonsense? If you dont know anything about what we do and the fire service, I'm sure your local fire station would be more than happy to give you a tour and educate you more on everything. Otherwise keep your childish mentality off of here.....or better yet, join a fire department!
Seems to be allot of "rare events" with you huh? You know what it means when there are allot of "rare events"? It means it is not so "rare"
Firefighters seem to be drama queens
im here to tell you theres plenty of guys that are "bigger" and they perform better and more efficiently than the fit and overly cross fit obsessed guys. unless you do what we do and know shut the hell up. what we do is a spectacular challenge. never bad mouth us. don't wait wait til you need us to say"positive things." imagine what we do in our shoes...away from kids,wives,girlfriends,and missing birthdays,weddings,christmas,new years,all holidays we may be working. because guess what were no 9-5 were 24/7!

So i guess those 341 firefighters who died on 9/11 are just drama queens according to you.
@MrMarijuanaKills and everyone else that is fighting with him. there is really no point in fighting with him. all he has ever sean appearently is firefighters on youtube, he has never experienced how it feels to be a firefighter, nor will he ever or even get a job that matters in this world because he probably cant pass a drug test.
สักวันผมจะเป็นให้ได้

Ive seen this same BS comment on many fire dept videos, best to just ignore him.
paid firefighters have higher standards of course, youve probably seen Volunteers. My Chief is a big guy but he can do the job and does it well, I dont see why fat means your bad at what you do
