I am a Fire Captain with 28 years in the fire service and this was sent to me by a close friend, who is a Fire Chief. I laughed as I enjoyed it and forwarded it on to a few of my brothers. In our line of profession, nothing wrong with laughing from time to time. It lightens the load of what we do. Thanks for sharing this!
I have been a firefighter for 16 years and just have to say ditto to firecapt100. I too was sent this from my chief. Nice video and thanks for posting it.
havingfunhere..you need to lighten up. This guy is trying to make people laugh. He real could care less what the guys do in the suv. This is funny and true put water on fire and it goes out....
haha i know the assistant chief for culver city in cali and he loves this video! especially since he does this all the time haha! cracks him up all the time! this guys good with coming up with this material!
I've seen that guy on WGN TV... He's the one that watched the fire really take off, instead of calling, but then told the world that it took 35 minutes for the first rig to arrive.
Oh hell yeah! Gonna use this for our next training! 'Guys I'd like you to put water on it, consistently, until there's no more fire.' That's classic! What's on the radio..?
Here is the thing… he isn’t wrong 😂 like of course there is a lot more but if the chief gets there first in the SUV he does have to confirm if there is in fact an active fire 😂
Yeah, I love it when 3 or 4 fire SUV's, police cars, and ambulances show up several minutes before the fire trucks. Everyone just kinda sits around and waits for the fire trucks.
so what you are saying, they should not use this as a training video, because i think this guy is serious, hes not on cbs trying to do comedy he his actually trying to train firemen, what we cant see is a crowd of firemen in the audience taking notes.
Holy Pete! What is it with you people? Just calm the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge down! It's a joke. He's a comedian. Thats what he does. Make jokes. Don't take yourself too seriously. I've been a firefighter for 17 years and I found this absolutely hilarious. Good video, dude.
The incident commander is in the SUV and it's actually the most ridiculously complicated and mentally stressful job ever they have to know everything that could possibly go wrong with anything at all times
JEEZ! I dunno what's funnier, the video or the buffs acting all indignant that this COMEDIAN was goofing on fire SUVs! I have 26 years of public safety (volly and paid) in 3 states, at VFDs and FDNY. I am currently an officer in the largest municipal VFD in the country and I take NO OFFENCE at this guy's jokes! In my VFD, each person issued a SUV (15+) has a specialty. Unless they are doing that job, they pac up and fight fire with the rest of us.
i am a real fire fighter and i think this is funny,if you guy's and girls are real fire fighters you would see the humor too .we can play jokes on each other but dont like it when a comedian pokes fun at us . i still say bring back fire marshal bill , jim carey was funny
About a year ago, our Chief wanted a "command vehicle". I wish I'd had this video to show the Board. They still have not bought it. There's better places for the money than that.
Wow, how can you take offense to this? He's a brilliant comedian. I am a Battalion Chief. This is funny! If you can't see the humor in this you are wound a little to tight.
This guy is hilarious! I love how so many people get so offended and cant take a joke. They must be from a dull department. If your gonna be a fireman you gotta be able to take a joke. Your the butt of every joke when your a probie. quit being so uptight.
Funny, but oh, if only it really was as easy as he says. And of course, I make as many jokes as the next guy about my chiefs (those are the guys in the SUV/pickup/crown vic, for those of you who are uninitiated), but their job is also much, MUCH more complicated than that. Funny? Yes. Accurate in any way? No. If it was that easy, you wouldn't need us around, 'cause anybody could do it.
Understanding how important the batt. chief/captain/whoever is driving the vehicle's duties are, this is still hilarious. Although somebody should post a video response explaining the "fire SUV"'s use.
To all that have a problem with volunteers, only when you are able to come on a scene and point out the paid firefighter form the volunteer.. only then can you open mouth. Volunteers put their lives on the line just like paid ff, and we ask for nothing in return,, ive been a volly for 13 years and counting, its such ignorance that keep both divided in the first place.. do what i do for FREE than you can be in the circle as me
It's fun making fun out of vollies. It's just too easy. Andrew, vollies say they do it for the love of it because they could not get a job with a paid department.
It is a joke people....we forget that those who do not know what we do, do not understand what it takes. If you have no exposure, it would seem easy, would it not! This is funny!
Wow geniuses calm down, this video clip is what is called "comedy" see what happens in "comedy" people point out and make fun of the obvious... He didn't say anything that was un-true... when was the last time you saw a chief/command pull hose out of the back of their SUV and start attacking a fire? Sure he took some stabbs but again thats what COMEDY is.... Lighten up!
See that's why chiefs yell a lot at guys..... It's so simple! Yet guys in the rigs just don't get it until the SUV gets there! Just joking save the hate.
I hope you are not a fireman...becasue if you we're you would know this guy is just joking. Our department plays this clip for our battalions. by the way...does the "i" work on your keyboard? It's spelled AINT not ANT.
Alright guys for real? I aint no firefighter I'm just a ride along Duck, but seriously for all the shit you guys see and do, y'all can't take 10 mins just to laugh?
man, 25 years in fire/ems and i've never seen such a bunch of whiny wannabees....what was that line from the movie "Stripes"?.......hmmmm...let'see....oh yeah...."lighten up frances!"

Every fire fighter knows what CHAOS stands for.... For everyone else:
Command
Has
Arrived
On
Scene
No. CHAOS.
Chief
Has
Arrived
On
Scene
@@evanl.4556 😶🌫️
It's chief not command
CHAOS goes back to Gen. Mattis when he was a Col. Col. Has Another Outstanding Suggestion.
Thumbs up if a fellow firemen showed this to you.
I am an Assistant Chief that drives a fire SUV and this is hilarious to me. Wish it was really that easy..
Chris Zahara that’s what I was thinking! Wish it was this easy 😂
Right if only
It really kinda is...
we watched this at the fire academy today
It is like he is in the firehouse with us. Love it, Hannibal
HE'S SO FUNNY I freaking love him
I still crack up at the "What's on the radio?" line.
Just like the fire inspector. yep that's definitely a fire.
haahaha. Im so showing this to my chief. tomorrow for drill night lol.
The best description of a command apparatus yet.
My Captain, who dirves the fire SUV, told me about this video. F*in' hilarious!
No joke, my dad drives the fire suv and he told me to show this to anyone that asks me what he does for a living
Exactly what I do, that's sad and unfortunate.
Can't afford foam in my city.. We have to put water on the fire, until there's no more fire.
Haha I would love to show this clip to my chief and deputy. I know they do a lot more than that but its still hilarious, good shit.
This is… actually kinda accurate
I have been a firefighter for 16 years and just have to say ditto to firecapt100. I too was sent this from my chief. Nice video and thanks for posting it.
lol, my chief showed me this vid, lol
This is too great
our chief is the same way " hey look theres a fire put it oh water"
Showed this to my chief, not happy 🤣
i wish fighting fires was that Easy.
Haven't seen this for years. Funny. Wish it would have been that easy.
havingfunhere..you need to lighten up. This guy is trying to make people laugh. He real could care less what the guys do in the suv. This is funny and true put water on fire and it goes out....

What's on the radio..?
Ha ha! I'm an SUV fireman.
CHAOS = Chief Has Arrived On Scene. Funny stuff.
Dang it, they are on to us!
This is the Battalion Chiefs job, Simplified!
AWESOME!
bahaha holy shit that was great!!!!!
yall need to lighten up
This is funny stuff. My guys will love this!!
--B.C. 405
Here is the thing… he isn’t wrong 😂 like of course there is a lot more but if the chief gets there first in the SUV he does have to confirm if there is in fact an active fire 😂
Oh man, sucks to be the Fire Chief, I'm guessing he's in the FIRE SUV!
Yeah, I love it when 3 or 4 fire SUV's, police cars, and ambulances show up several minutes before the fire trucks. Everyone just kinda sits around and waits for the fire trucks.
A good "B" shift training film!
P2
Sums it up
This is amazing😂😂
so what you are saying, they should not use this as a training video, because i think this guy is serious, hes not on cbs trying to do comedy he his actually trying to train firemen, what we cant see is a crowd of firemen in the audience taking notes.

Q: Why do truckies cut holes in the roof?
A: So they can see what real firefighting looks like.
Hannibal Burress -> underrated. I see some Mitch Hedgeburg influence here
I was thinking the same thing
Amen brother
Im sure this guy is from Chicago, we have merit promotions and I saw him at the front of the line
Guys have some humor. This guy was funny haha
lol my dad is a firefighter that is really funny but i think it is just a lil bit more complecs then that lol
3 sides to the fire triangle, heat fuel and Chief, remove any one of the 3 and the fire will go out!
I was an aide for foue years and this sums up the Incident Command System in a few simple words. Put the wet stuff on the red stuff. Funny!
I'm trying to figure out how to set this up where our battalion chiefs can see it, but not know who set it for them to see it....
Fire trucks don't fight fires, fire engines do. Fire trucks can have the roof.
Every resource on my forest saw this. Hilarious!
The incident commander is in the SUV and it's actually the most ridiculously complicated and mentally stressful job ever they have to know everything that could possibly go wrong with anything at all times
Calm down volly, he's having some fun.
TANKERS ALL THE WAY! lol. Just kidding. I don't mind being on the truck or the engine.
JEEZ! I dunno what's funnier, the video or the buffs acting all indignant that this COMEDIAN was goofing on fire SUVs!

About a year ago, our Chief wanted a "command vehicle". I wish I'd had this video to show the Board. They still have not bought it. There's better places for the money than that.

Wow, how can you take offense to this? He's a brilliant comedian. I am a Battalion Chief. This is funny! If you can't see the humor in this you are wound a little to tight.

LOL
Here is Ventura County Fire Department's response to this video clip. Featuring Chief Miller (right) and Chief LaPlant (Left).
you mean he is the fire SUV? lol
Funny, but oh, if only it really was as easy as he says. And of course, I make as many jokes as the next guy about my chiefs (those are the guys in the SUV/pickup/crown vic, for those of you who are uninitiated), but their job is also much, MUCH more complicated than that. Funny? Yes. Accurate in any way? No.
If it was that easy, you wouldn't need us around, 'cause anybody could do it.
Hilarious, It is satire. and yes I am a firefighter,
