Despite shelling and clear danger these men are able to maintain humor and get the job done, fucking brave guys typical of firemen around the world, thanks for your reporting stay safe
Regardless of these guy's political affiliations with the situation in that area, they are doing some great work. Takes guts to help put out fires in a warzone in order to help civilians. Much respect to the civil workers like these guys and doctors etc in this region....well the ones that stuck around to help the people caught in the middle.
As an American fire fighter I should be very thankful for all the things we have here that these guys don't. They do good work though considering they are pretty much a target living in such a shitty place. Stay safe guys!

The Baltic States have created something worth defending over 30 years. As Mr Manerheim said, the state must create the wealth that people want to defend.
I've always had the upmost respect for firefighters and EMT's. They're more vital to national and social security than soldiers and they don't carry weapons. They work to save and not kill people. Y'all truly don't get enough credit and respect.
Thank you, Simon and the Vice camera crew for doing this. It's incredible work you are doing, and the world needs to see this side of things. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
One of Vice News best reporters, loved the fact that he admitted to being scared. Getting shelled sucks big time, and its all fun and games till they start shooting back at you. I hope they all make it through this alive.
Just to call out all the Russian apologists here, just because someone speaks Russian does not make them ethnic Russian. During the Soviet Union times Russian language was mandated in all 15 republics, while local ethnic languages were often discouraged and suppressed. As a result of such draconian policies, a lot of people in the former Soviet Union republics speak Russian, it's the legacy of the former Soviet rule and it does not serve as an indication of one's ethnic origin. A great many ethnicities speak Russian because they were forced to learn it. Particularly in Ukraine, the population is pretty homogeneous, and people mostly self-identify with either Ukrainian or Russian origin. One can claim to be either, depending on the personal circumstances, cultural leanings, or political beliefs, which has nothing to do with person's actual ethnicity or race. Case and point, the majority of Right Sector guys speak Russian, and so does Ukrainian military. Does that make them ethnic Russians? Of course it doesn't, no more than writing this in English makes me an Englishman. The entire "Ukrainian JewNaziBanderas killing Russians" narrative is a well-crafted political ploy by Putin and his FSB henchmen, a much needed pretext for a military aggression against the sovereign state of Ukraine. A pretext formed and honed several years ahead of the Maidan Revolution at one of the annual Kremlin Youth Camp events (sounds pretty ominous, doesn't it?). In fact, while the "not Russian" military was taking over government buildings in Crimea, immediately following the Maidan events, there were no reported or documented cases of ethnic killings or repressions of ethnic Russians anywhere in Ukraine. I will repeat, there were ZERO cases of ethnic repressions of Russians in Ukraine, only empty allegations and hyperbolic propaganda on Russian state owned TV. Yet the Russian military was already invading, shooting, kidnapping and killing Ukrainians on Ukrainian soil. Some Putinist trolls would probably attempt to bring up various drafts of laws that could have prohibited Russian language from being used as "official" language in Ukraine, the proposed drafts of laws that never became actual laws. It is also not an indication of ethnic hostilities, unlike the actual 100+ dead Ukrainians on Maidan square in Kiev and untold dozens in the Eastern Ukraine where Ukrainian activists were being beaten, kidnapped and killed. Those were the actual ethnic killings of Ukrainians by the Russian "Berkut" police that were brought into Kiev by the deposed President Yanukovich. These were the only ethnic killings that were taking place in Ukraine, and those crimes were committed on the Ukrainian people, all the while Putin and his propaganda machine were calling Ukrainians "Nazi" and "Fascist", trying to implicate Europe, America and NATO in "attacking Russians" or "staging a coup". I am going into this level of detail so those of you who are interested in learning about the Ukrainian events are able to make your own research and are able to discern the facts for yourself. In fact, the entire Ukrainian conflict has nothing to do with the alleged ethnic strife, instead it's entirely about Putin's criminal regime and its fight with civilized world. Fattened on high petro prices, with unchecked grip on political power, Putin and his FSB chronies apparently thought they are back in the 60's and that they are able to dictate their will to the free and sovereign nations in the Eastern Europe, and by extension to the rest of the world. This clique of secret police and mafia had stopped at nothing, including lying to the whole world, killing and torturing thousands of Ukrainians (both military and civilians), shooting down a Malaysian airliner full of kids and families, violating multiple legal pacts and agreements, committing war crimes just to see their way to geopolitical domination over the sovereign Eastern European states. Daily Russian bomber fly bys, kidnapping of military personnel in Estonia, the onslaught of state owned Russian media propaganda, thousands of social network trolls with racist and fascist attitudes are all signs of a well engineered campaign of military and psychological offensive. And the West is indeed to blame for some of this. Instead of addressing Putin's corruption of political power in Russia (now on his 3rd Presidential term) and holding Russia accountable to the terms of Budapest Memorandum, the US and the UK prefer to take the easy path of toothless economic sanctions and visa bans, all the while thousands of Ukrainians had died and hundreds of European citizens were killed in mid air. Please make no mistake about this, there is no appeasing Putin or hordes of his cut throat militants pouring across the Ukrainian border. They see themselves on a historic mission, "taking Berlin again" only this time in the expected farcical fashion playing the role of savage fascists. We must isolate Russia now and provide strong felt military response, the only language of diplomacy Putin understands. We must work to provoke a political regime change in Russia, before the petro money fueled corruption reaches any further into the Western democracy. We simply can't afford to make the same mistake again, the beast must be caged and declawed.
***** well that was long and stupid I didn't bother reading all of it because I knew in first sentence this was going to be a bunch anti-Putin bullshit :)

I am watching the series in the end of 2021(Dez 07), 7 years after it was made. I can't get over the fact how incredibly good it is. I had to look up Simon when I stumbled onto this series on youtube. Just excellent reporting! We get to see all sides of the conflict without unnecessary commentary, the pictures and scenes speaking for themselves. The stoic, reserved demeanor of Simon is really appropriate for the material. Great Work!
Damn. Fire fighter is like the hero that everytime everywhere everyone needs but ignored by society when they dont need them. Salute to every Fire Fighter whos on duty everywhere
For the people of Donetsk this must be horrible but from a curious point of view the whole conflict, the politics of it etc is incredibly interesting. I really hope it can be settled amicably as soon as possible.
I very much appreciate these upfront and raw reports... but, damn, this guy is a whimp about things. Keep up the good work man. no matter how uncomfortable you get.
The agreement now only exists on paper.DNR started the siege of Donetsk Airport,attack on Mariupol,etc. so Ukraine just responded with "fuck the ceasefire,just kill the cunts".
The whistle is only when the round passes over you, no need to worry about those they will land with no danger to you. Dangerous ones are when you only hear the whistle for a fraction of a second meaning it's above you and incoming onto your face.
I have been watching since Dispatch 1, and for the most part, the reporting has been world class, with a few slippages here and there, such as a reporter (not Simon) using the word "terrorists" to describe the separatists. But this Dispatch something occurred to me, Simon was listing the various actors in the conflict, Ukraine, the DPR, Russia...but one is missing. Of course, this could be a one-off, but then looking back, Nato, or the US, or the various EU states are never really scrutinized for their involvement. For example, what sort of aid was provided, hardware? food? medicines (for who?). Where did Ukraine get its weaponry? It's oil? etc. I realise that dispatches are sent far away from places where such information could be gleaned by a reporter, on the front lines no less, but really it was Simons failure to mention Ukraine's backers that got me wondering.
Wow...these firemen aren't afraid of anything XDDD they live their everyday life even if bombs are exploding just a kilometer or two from 'em...duude!!!
I really hope the people of Donetsk, and Eastern Ukraine, can find peace. I can't imagine living in a place, where all you want is your *independence*, and the powers that be refuse to let you live in peace, because they are using you as leverage against Russia, in their own gas pipeline deals. I can truly understand not wanting to live under the oppressive powers of the "nanny-state" EU, and the greedy, corrupt politicians in your own land.
How about they go live in the oppressive power of Russia instead. Is it really that difficult and don't they have enough land anyway ffs? They started this conflict in the first place and chose to become violent. I don't feel sorry at all. It's also kind of hard to support these people when clearly are trying their hardest to revive old Communist values and praise Stalin.
Augustinus TheFurious ye.. let´em die or move away. "I don't feel sorry at all" of course you don´t, just like the far majority of the ignorant, brainwashed hypocrites on here
pstockmaster Then can you please move to RT with the ignorant and brainwashed hypocrites there. It would be so nice for people like you stop spreading hypocritical and compulsive pro-Russian propaganda everywhere as if the Donetsk people doesn't do anything wrong.
Regards to fire fighters, no matter the war, catastrophe, nuclear power plant, or just fire. they do what they need to do. they sacrifice themselves, their time, health and lives. On the welfare of the people glory firefighters through the ages, Я желаю вам сухие рукава, удачи, ребята,
We each may have our political positions on Ukraine and the DPR and LPR, but, at the end of the day, I think we can all agree those firefighters are heroes :-)
Maxim Goudz the people who idolize the upa are dying for USA (Nuland, Pyatt, IMF) which has sent them to clear out the East of Ukraine by raping and pillaging just as their ancestors had during WW2.
I love Vice. I have since pre-internet, magazine days. Simon can take that snarky attitude somewhere else. I bet his hands are softer that a bab's backside and that he hasn't done a hard day's work in his life. Those firefighters made a mistake. It's easily fixable. They're working a hard job under immense pressure with incoming and outgoing rockets and mortars flying overheard. In planning ahead and doing a job other than the one they do everyday, they made a miscalculation. I, for one, applaud their efforts and courage. EFF you, Simon, for ridiculing them. Why don't you pick up a shovel and help them? They're all nice to you. I've seen others in this series take you in and feed you as well, dick.
Where I a Jew, reading the comment section of just about anything that gets a gung-ho Russian patriot's blood pumping, my reaction would be "how the fuck is this supposed to be my fault!?" As it stands, as an American, my only reaction here is "I've got nothing to do with this, this one's on y'all."
well what you have to understand is that Russians hate jews. even though they say Ukrainians are Nazis, but its the Russians who are nazis. dont ever go to RT channel. its just hate toward jews and westerners, pretty much anyone agaisnt Russia.
100vasiliy Actually no. Jews were discriminated in the USSR as well and most of them were went to siberia. So well, Germany wasn't the only fascist power in World War 2. And it isn't even about jews, everyone who was opposing the government was murdered. And Putin thinks that Stalin is a hero. He even defended the Ribbetropf-Molotov pact.
***** Russians hate jews. thats a fact. ive been, and i feel sorry for any jews there. the russian ortho church feeds the hate toward jews. and the government is ok with that.
100vasiliy Sorry, it isn't the church. It is the communists. You should know that Communists were atheists and hunted everyone down, who has something to do with the church.
Where is the British guy, why couldn't he be here to make these reports why does this guy Simone have to do it he brings a bias to it that British guy was totally neutral on the situation.
Despite shelling and clear danger these men are able to maintain humor and get the job done, fucking brave guys typical of firemen around the world, thanks for your reporting stay safe
Only Simon walks into a burning house in a warzone, haha. Great job guys!

no everyone knows there were snipers shooting people. Strangely only the Russians seem to "know" what side they were on.

Keep up the great work and stay alive.
So the Kiev still violating the Minsk agreement?? Now whose fault is it?
The agreement now only exists on paper.DNR started the siege of Donetsk Airport,attack on Mariupol,etc. so Ukraine just responded with "fuck the ceasefire,just kill the cunts".
Lisovp Awesomelisovp The UA was supposed to leave the airport, there is constant shelling by ua on donetsk and luhansk, so who's breaking what?
Lisovp Awesomelisovp UA violated the agreement 1 hour after it started so stop lying.

Lol, love the DNR handler telling them the artillery was incoming and not outgoing and the firefighter almost laughing at him.
2:35 - men picks up remains of Smerch rocket with cluster bomb warhead... Best evidence of Ukraine army using them on urban areas i have seen so far.

If the city water goes out, won't they be unable to fight fires? So wouldn't they leave the fire station?
They could set up a pool and draft out of that except they will have to truck in water from a pond or something
I thought that was a fucking painting at 2:50 and then it moved.
Regards to fire fighters, no matter the war, catastrophe, nuclear power plant, or just fire. they do what they need to do. they sacrifice themselves, their time, health and lives. On the welfare of the people glory firefighters through the ages, Я желаю вам сухие рукава, удачи, ребята,

This goes my heart all goes to the people who just had donations from
the "sexy" fireman admitted that the shells were flying out, so he wasn't worried to duck. He then got corrected by his mate.
ohhh nostalgic Nokia ring tone at the end~
The heroes of donbass.Respect to them for going out to fires.
We each may have our political positions on Ukraine and the DPR and LPR, but, at the end of the day, I think we can all agree those firefighters are heroes :-)
i likeded that kitty kat
The firefighters have to wear body armor. That's messed up.
These guys are true heroes of this war, not the people who idolize the UPA.
Nor the people who idolize Stalin. :)
the people who idolize upa are the ones dying for the country.
Maxim Goudz
the people who idolize the upa are dying for USA (Nuland, Pyatt, IMF) which has sent them to clear out the East of Ukraine by raping and pillaging just as their ancestors had during WW2.

I love Vice. I have since pre-internet, magazine days. Simon can take that snarky attitude somewhere else. I bet his hands are softer that a bab's backside and that he hasn't done a hard day's work in his life. Those firefighters made a mistake. It's easily fixable. They're working a hard job under immense pressure with incoming and outgoing rockets and mortars flying overheard. In planning ahead and doing a job other than the one they do everyday, they made a miscalculation. I, for one, applaud their efforts and courage. EFF you, Simon, for ridiculing them. Why don't you pick up a shovel and help them? They're all nice to you. I've seen others in this series take you in and feed you as well, dick.
let the people go, Mr. Poroshenko, stop the killing...withdraw with some dignity.
More more more!!!
Its good if you hear the whistle , if you got hit you wont hear it xD
Its crazy they only get 140€ per month!
At least the bombing is after lunch. That is nice of them.
Пожарники Мужики ващее ребята!👍

English please?
Where I a Jew, reading the comment section of just about anything that gets a gung-ho Russian patriot's blood pumping, my reaction would be "how the fuck is this supposed to be my fault!?"
As it stands, as an American, my only reaction here is "I've got nothing to do with this, this one's on y'all."
well what you have to understand is that Russians hate jews. even though they say Ukrainians are Nazis, but its the Russians who are nazis. dont ever go to RT channel. its just hate toward jews and westerners, pretty much anyone agaisnt Russia.

Actually no. Jews were discriminated in the USSR as well and most of them were went to siberia.
So well, Germany wasn't the only fascist power in World War 2. And it isn't even about jews, everyone who was opposing the government was murdered.
And Putin thinks that Stalin is a hero. He even defended the Ribbetropf-Molotov pact.
***** Russians hate jews. thats a fact. ive been, and i feel sorry for any jews there. the russian ortho church feeds the hate toward jews. and the government is ok with that.
100vasiliy
Sorry, it isn't the church. It is the communists.
You should know that Communists were atheists and hunted everyone down, who has something to do with the church.
***** im not talking about Soviet Russia, im talking about today!
Why the firefighters have bulletproof vests? 🦺
because its a warzone
Those guys need some new gear
"smerch" means "death" not tornado...
I'm studying Russian and Smert (смерть) is the word for death :)
"Твоя без свиста придет"
You know shits going when fire/emt

Держитесь мужики! Надеюсь война кончится скоро.
