THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE THIS CLASSIC MOVIE 🎥🍿 OH MY GOD
This was awesome! DeNiro played my Dad, the real CFD arson investigator, Don Rimgale. Was hoping you'd capture the building (Wozniak's) where Kurt Russell decks the guy for dancing with Rebecca DeMornay. Maybe next time! Thank you for sharing this!!!
Hi Becky, I’m retired from 35 years with the FD. Very cool that your dad had a cameo in the movie. He was a big man, and handed the folded flag to Lt. McCaffrey’s widow. I think that’s the way it happened. Been a while.
I just remembered forgot to wonder like what about that ballroom where they had that Retirement party. Kurt smacked him more because he was talking smack about his brother.
@@brians5750 Now, that you mention it, that scene is still etched in my head, too.
Isn't that building gone?
Sorry about your loss of your dad!
Thank you for watching everyone! Let’s stay connected instagram.com/accounts/login/
Love this movie! I remember watching with my mom and she was trying not to cry and I looked over and asked what she was doing?Are trying to blow the fire out lol! I wish she was still here. 😇❤
Thank you it’s a tear jerker every watch
@@TampaJay Absolutely. You did a great job, kind Sir! I watched this again this morning!:)
It's crazy how movie's have a way of being nostalgic, me & my bro watched a bunch of movie's as kid's in the 80's & 90's, my bro passed away om Halloween 2014 & whenever I watch a movie we watched together it bring's back so many memories of him...🙏🏽🕯🕊
@@TampaJay can u do ladder 49 next?
Happy mothers day to her
Former firefighter and i loved this! Thank you for the tour!
That was EPIC!! One of my all time favorites! Still have the old VHS of it! Awesome job!
Thanks Dave! I’m happy you enjoyed it. It was a fun time, one of my favorites too.
The most recognized engine from the movie would be Engine 17. Engine 17 started service with the Chicago Fire Department in July of 1970. This1970 Ward LaFrance Pumper was first assigned to Engine Co. 8. The pumper was later assigned to Engine 18. In 1987, it was refurbed with a Ranger cab and E-One body before it was given to Ron Howard's production group in July of 1990. Ron Howard used Engine 18 (portrayed as Engines 17 & 51 in the movie) until February of 1991. After the filming of the movie, the apparatus was given to Engine 69 were it remained in-service until 1995 when it was disposed of.
Video very accurate from Chicago Tourist and friend
I was Facility manager for the engineers and maintenance guys that set up
..6 for closed surgery floor in fight scene...we rebuilt back to1950. Colors and installed break away doors
Kurt n Brian went thru..
The sign behind door is made of Foam painted like steel...one carpenter and maintenance employee made it two days....
It was a good movie for our CFD heroes, I believe you did a great job.
Note: Next to Nurse's housing parking at hospital was used for custom trailer for
Kurt Russell's real wife to stay she was very kind and
As was kurt. Treated us all with respect
A honor for our little crew to keep it professional..
No one ever ask for autograph...not allowed
But crew were very good to us as well as Stars..
Even Mr. Howard visited the daycare to visit the children....that's when hospitals had good daycare for there employees..
Thanks for the reminder..
Been here 60 yrs learned couple scenes I didn't catch...
A Friend from Edgewater Hospital....
Epic man, just epic. Backdraft is one of those early 90s classics that will never get old. You can always watch Ray Liotta and Kurt Russell run into a burning building. Oh wait, Liotta wasn't in this one. Oh well.
Thanks so much! I could totally see Liotta in this too haha
I’m like wait...Ray Liotta? ...dang I wish!
You're thinking about "Unlawful entry" where Russell was a yuppie and Liotta was a psycho cop who wanted Russell's wife.
Awesome Video.. Great dedication to our firefighters.
Thank you Momma
out of all the movies that i seen i can watch Backdraft over and over without getting bored and i been watching it since i was 4
i think this was one of your best filming location videos.. so much effort put into it, in such a short time. i have never been to chicago, but hope to in the future. great work jay.
Where have your been Jay I miss your videos yay I’m so happy your back again your my favorite TH-cam TH-cam guys to watch thank you ☺️
Thank you!!
Your very welcome
Currently watching on peacock and thought it would be fun to find some pics and videos! Glad I found yours! great work!
What a great way to see Chicago for the first time. I used go there every 3 to 5 years for Memorial Day weekend. Thanks GG or taking us there, Jay!
Awesome video! I used to watch this movie all the time as a kid. Probably seen it over 100X lol. Thank you and great work!
Thank you for taking the time to research these locations! I’m retired from the FD and have a couple of buddies that we’re in the movie. Great video sir!
My neighbor was in the movie also he was a Chicago firefighter
1st comment!! 🙏🤟😊! God Bless!! U gonna be over near Muncie, Jay??
Thank you Brian
Awesome filming locations video Jay. Backdraft is a great movie. Great job man. 🙂👍
This is by far the best movie location video I've ever seen. That's alot of work. Thanks
your doing a great job I always enjoy these types of videos!
Great tour thanks! Passed thru Chicago for the first time ever last summer. With Backdraft being my childhood/lifelong favorite movie, I naturally had to make the pilgrimage to the Backdraft main firehouse and even got to have one of their station t-shirts. Great folks there! Thanks again
Love that movie, haven’t seen it in several years ago, now I have to find where to watch it. I hope you had a good time in Chicago and thank you for the great videos and for taking us on all of the adventures, stay safe my friend.
Totally loved this! Thank you so much!
Dude, I did not realize the Alderman's house was in Hinsdale. I was in Vegas and Tampa Jay is five 5 minutes from my house in Hinsdales. Thanks for making Chicago look beautiful. Awesome, Awesome!
I even stopped at the shell station around the corner and got a Monster! Your neighborhood is super nice, loved it and Chicago! Thank you! I hope you had good luck in vegas!
Very nice video. Thx for Backdraft memories. FD from Czech Republic ❤
I haven't been to Chicago in a long time. I was last there as a kid when they were filming the movie and had my picture taken with Kurt Russell. My brother went a couple years back for St. Patricks Day, and found the bar from right after the 70's scene when Brian gets his station assignment. He called me on Facetime and said "Can you guess where I am at?" and as soon as he flipped the camera I said "You f**ker! You're at the bar from Backdraft!" He laughed, and told me he knew that was gonna be too easy for me. I'd love to be able to visit all the filming locations one of these days. Amazing to see how little many areas changed and how much some of them did.
This is pretty cool tampa Jay always wondered about the scene from backdraft
Brilliant video. This was good timing, I only just watched Backdraft again recently after not seeing it for years. Cracking movie and thanks for another comprehensive set of filming locations. Stay safe Sir.
Absolutely loved the video bro!
Hi Tampa Jay, I'm Dennis from Cleveland, Ohio! Thanks for sharing your video about the movie backdraft celebrating 30th anniversary this year!
Im an 87 baby. This will always always be my favorite movie!
I’m an 87 baby as well
Instant like and subscribe after watching this!!! Thank you so much!! Outstanding work!!
You’re awesome! Thank you and welcome to my journey.
Thanks for this. I’m new to the channel and really enjoying it.
Thanks Tom. Happy to hear you are enjoying the channel.
Brilliant video. Thank you
Great video, you did your homework for sure. Nicely done!
Hey brother, your welcome, and thank you for your support. Not sure if you spent any time on the job or not, but your industry terms were spot-on! Again such an awesome job on this video. Be safe and take care.
I really enjoyed the video 👌👏
Happy to hear you enjoyed it thank you Jasmine
Thanks for another great video and Chicago is one of my favorite city's. Have a great day buddy.
Thank you!!
Hi Tampa Jay! Enjoyed the video of the Backdraft locations. However, I wanted to correct something you described at 8:21. Little Brian was not standing at the location that you said. In 1990 I was working as a Patrolman on the cities west side in Austin, the 15th District. The scene of little Brian took place at the SW corner of Lake and Central. He was actually looking up at the "L" tracks. I know this, because my Captain asked me to drive him to the location to see the filming. When we arrived, we were able to see the filming and afterward met Ron Howard. Who was a real gentleman. It shows how passionate you are in what you do. Just thought additional info might help. Thanks.
Great video! Backdraft is one of my favorite films of the early 90's. It was among the first movies that I saw with my new bride. Great film, and great soundtrack.
Thank you so much
Enjoyed seeing the filming locations & hearing your commentary. Chicago is a fun town to visit.
Thank you
Greatest movie ever, thank you.
Awesome filming locations to backdraft Jay! I enjoyed watching!
Thanks Nick
Loved Filming locations You Showed Us👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿😊😊😊
Excellent and thorough video👏👏👏 I loved seeing some of my old hangouts🍻
Thank you!
When I was a kid, I rode my bike from that firehouse on 43rd & Paulina all the way to Wrigley Field. Thanks for the memories dude.
Great job as always
Thanks babe
I'm glad you showed my hometown, Chicago, Illinois
Loved your town thank you
Lol he missed pronounced Paulina st.... that’s ok it a Chicago street we only know how to say
@@secretsiren6769 I said the same thing 😂
I waited on Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn there when they were filming. I think they were only dating at the time.
Welcome to my hometown! Safe travels and best of everything to you!
That’s amazing! I’ve always thought they were the coolest couple
They're still "only dating". They've never gotten married. Neither one sees the need to get married. 😎😁
It was like going on a trip with you to Chicago. You went to a lot of places for your first time in Chicago. Thank you for a great time and we didn't get to watch you each Chicago Deep Dish Pizza! Keep these great videos coming, Jay!
Thank you Thomas! I am happy you joined me and enjoyed. I’ll have to eat something very messy next time 😆
Loved this video one of my favorite movies
one of the great Movies. Thank you!!
Thanks for joining me Craig
Backdraft is my favorite movie and this is an awesome video worthy of inclusion as a DVD extra. Thanks for doing this! How much research went into this particular video and how were you able to find the exact addresses of the various locations? The fire stations would be easy enough to find out but the more obscure things like Kurt Russell's house or Brian's apartment etc. seem impossible to know let alone find out.
Great job Man!! Greetings from Poland:)
Hope your doing good buddy. Enjoyed this alot.
Thank you!!
💯%👌👏👍Thankyou so much for all your hard work, travelling, research, editing. Really appreciate your the very best at these attention to detail perfection 😊
I agree
Thanks Mary it took me a week in a half on this one
Really loved This 👏🏾👏🏾
As a volunteer firefighter who grew up watching this movie this is so cool also thanks for dedicating it to all the first responders, also I’m impressed you knew some of the firefighters tools great research 👍🏻
Thanks Matty! I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed it, I know there’s a lot of what they call “Hollywood” in this movie as far as firefighting but I too have always appreciated it but because sadly there are just not a lot of movies that have ever been made that salute the firemen as much as this one. Thanks so much for watching and thanks more for your service.
@@TampaJay 👍🏻
Love all the details you provided. You can definitely tell you put a lot of time in your research! -S
I'm a fan of both. Thumbs up for sure. Good job!
Thank you Jon
Awsome 👌 one of my favourite films of all time
Hey man! Greetings from Massachusetts. What an awesome and informative trip down memory lane for such a great movie. Loved it as a kid, love it as a grown-up. Thanks for uploading this !!!!! So interesting and entertaining.
You’re so welcome brother than you for your service. That was a fun weekend
Back draft was a good movie. Thank you to all fire fighters. Enjoyed the video 👍
Thank you Kris
One of the best films of all time one of my Favorites man I loved this video absolutely amazing.
Loved this, and your van Halen shirt, too, always on the level 👍🤙😄 💛 and Chicago looks like a really cool city
Great job Very informative
I love Chicago went last year and love the travel vlog
Thank you!!
very good job jay!!amazing reserch, you will stay in chicago fews days?
Thank you!! I was in town for 45 hours but I can’t wait to rerun
Welcome Jay to my home town Chicago! Hope that you had a great time here. For some reason not to many vlogers come here. If you like Chicago Outfit mobsters you can vlog both Mt Carmel and Queen of Heaven Cemeteries in the Chicago suburbs Hillside. They are across the street from each other. All the famous gangsters are there. You were at 54th and Morgan. When I was born my mom had a beauty shop at 51st and Morgan where I lived. The building from Batman is owned by the Kennedy family, Chris Kennedy runs it. The Green Mill bar was owned by Al Capone. I grew up very near Hinsdale. The Merchandise mart. Jay you did a very excellent job 👏
I had the pleasure of watching that movie get filmed at the fire station on 43rd & Paulina.
You are lucky seeing that. 🇬🇧👍
HEY, TAMPA JAY WHAT'S UP YEAH, I myself Really liked and enjoyed this moive

Great From Start to finish
🔥My uncle was the Fire chief for Tualatin Valley Fire here in Oregon, the true bravery of Fire fighters is such a special thing. To risk your life to save others is just incredible. This is awesome mango
You’re awesome Mango grateful for your uncles service
Outstanding Jay! I was a teenager living in South Tampa when I first watched that movie in 1992, I became a Firefighter in 95' and just hit my 26 year mark on the fire department.
Thanks for your service Firefighter Campbell! I know South Tampa like the back of my hand. I’m happy to hear you enjoyed this one buddy
Great Scott! There were some amazing Cosplays there, very impressive variety of activities too! I’ve never been to any conventions since living in FL, I guess I need to change that. 😁👏👏👏
Holy cow! And i live behind that fire station! Ima watch that movie !! Thanks for sharing! I didnt know about that movie
Tampa Jay, I just can't believe that movie backdraft was filmed on Location in Chicago!
"Segway tour. Oh my gosh, they're all wearing blue!" It did look a bit cultish. lol Hey, Tampa Jay, great video! It's been a long time since I've seen that movie. Excellent job lining up those shots!
Nice job Jay. I worked on the film a vendor and went to the Chicago Studio's on the south side of Chicago. It was there they did the close up scenes in the back warehouse for the last big fire, plus some other scenes like the elevator scene where Billy Baldwins character was stuck in water (the elevator was built on location, so they could get all the angles shots they wanted and control the water better). There was also a room built upside down, so when the flames were lit, it would be in a row like a BBQ has them, and then when gravity took over, it gave the impression of the flames coming across the floor attacking. In the big scene at the end, you can see black strapping around the 55 gallon drums (stacked two high on pallets). OSHA made them add the strapping so they asked me if I had any for them and it was used that day for filming.
Wow this was a very great video was a huge fan of this movie so nice seeing scenes from the movie to what it is now thank you for doing this video
Thank you!!
Hi, I am a former ambulance driver in Italy. I love the movie (it is one of my favourite) and congratulations for the video. Nowadays I use to follow "Chicago Fire". Hope to visit USA as soon as the pandemic situations ends.
What a awesome video. Thank you for sharing this
Thank you
Insanely epic. Thank you
Thank you
Keep the filming location vids coming bro‼️
Thank you!!
Nicely done.
Thank you!!
This film has stood the test of time. In my opinion was robbed of many awards. The sound design and effects for the Era are amazing for that time. Do yourself a favor. Before you die...watch this on a 55+ inch TV with Dolby Atmos and or DTS OR Dolby Digital. You'll thank me later.
I can't watch the last 15 minutes of this. Get choked up Everytime never fails. True fucking warriors and heroes.
good attention to details in the comparisons of movie to real location.
Great video! I’ve never been to Chicago, except for changing planes at O’Hare airport. I did go to Universal Studios in Burbank where they filmed the interior warehouse fire scenes. Pretty cool. I really wished you could see that well inside a fire. Lol. Thanks for your diligence in finding those spots. Great history from a classic film. We always watch it at the firehouse when it is on.
Thanks Andy! I did the Backdraft attraction at USH when I was a kid
Thank you
I am a big fan of backdraft and I enjoyed that very much
Well put together bud “ Great Work”🧯🚒🔥👍
Thank you Steve appreciate you
Universal backdraft is one of my favorite Chicago movies . Great job filming
Thank you Gabe
@@TampaJay your welcome
Fantastic video!! I love your attention to detail!! There’s also a TH-cam video of old fire station 49 which was used for the training scenes and Rimgale’s office. I remember when they squared off the arched app bay doors at the Chinatown firehouse for better clearance, however I do like the arches better.
Thank you so much
appreciate you for this video
Thank you! Happy New Year!
Fantastic job on this one👍😊💕
Thank you!!
LOVE YOU BACKDRAFT
What a beautiful neighborhood looks pristine.
It was a beautiful town
You nailed it again Jay!
Great job!
Have you ever done Silence of the Lambs?
Thanks Chris! Would love to do Silence someday. Scott Glenn is in that too
Great work Jay. Very entertaining. Keep doing what you are doing. Many people love what you are doing.
@@TampaJay he's also in Urban Cowboy. It's one of my favs.
Awesome video
That was a great film TJ.
