Manassas Fire - Two Weeks In The City

[TheJimmy144]

This kid has no idea how lucky he has it. I'm 17 and I'm dying to become a FF but there are no opportunities for ppl my age in my area :(

[FM418]

[sirstanley09]

wht happend at 2:18? lol. i just see them running for the ladder

[FFEMTCrowe]

youd be surprised how many departments actually have the fire fighters mask up. Its just one thing less, once hes at the door and pulled a line just snap in n turn the bottle on. My preference is masking at the door i only mask in the truck for car fires

[xxxjordanlentzxxx]

ur math is wrong but other than tht

[docman789]

im about 45 min south of Mannasas, i am hoping to get hired there for full time! i hope i do! its my dream to work there and be a fire fighter just like my dad, just got my fire 12 hazmat ops and awareness along with mayday awareness, cant wait to vol soon! XD wish me luck and BAD ASS VIDEO! 5 thumbs up on my book :-)

[firefly982000]

Great video, I was hoping to see a summer 2009 video.

[jwhetham]

Being a Volunteer Firefighter myself I know the tragedy of these accidents but at 1:43 is it meant to be ironic because it's a hearse? I lol-ed at the irony.

[tennesseefirefighter]

Lol that was funny about the hearse

[301whitehall]

May I ask what a Fly-out is and at the end showing all the calls is that just two weeks?!?!?!

[wdbaseball]

in new jersey where i live you have to be 14 to join but the only thing you may not do is interior work on a dwelling

[piperdowns]

Can anyone tell me how big is Manassas (population) and the amount of runs they get each year? Is it an all volunteer dept.? Thanks

[PlanItTide]

They went career with Vol. help in 2008. They run a ton of calls. The city is about 35,000 just outside of DC.

[IndianaFF]

Discipline. What if  your pulling up 2 something thats hazardous 2 ur health

[btfilmproduction]

but you dont have your full vision most of the time when your in your scott mast which could make pulling a line or connecting to a hydrant a bit harder if its a hazardous or chemical fire i can see it happening but not at a regular house fire

[btfilmproduction]

Hey why do you guys put your scott masks on in the rig and not when you are about to enter the house

[pezzza16]

saves time?

[demonicwolf69]

can be easyer then a scene, if its on and all the sudden you go from no danger to inhalation hazard it takes no time to go on air. versus haveing to pack up. how it was explained to us in our ff1 class makes sense to.

[wamns16]

It so when you get there you can get past the first due company and put there fire out. The same reason they ran up the driveway. Thats the way the majority of the aggressive companys in our area do it.

[IndianaFF]

In indiana you have to be 16 but two do any exracation or go interior you have to be 18

[noneedtoknow159]

it same in the city i work for im 16 and they call us cadets. but when we turn 18 they pay for our schooling and when we done with our classes we have a spot on the dept.

[IndianaFF]

Mannasas is BADASS

[troybran]

man. that kid shaffer is lucky. where i live (pennsylvania) you have to be 18 to go to a fire of any kind and accidents. that kid is lucky. i want to be a jouner firefighter but i cant. lots of my family members are but i cant.

[WeSilverDragon]

2:42-2:53 was a barn fire i was their along with 50 other people watching...they still havnt re-built that barn..i like in the court near it...

[mzuber5]

look at these salty vets running up the driveway to the fire, simply amazing

[demonicwolf69]

no, seeing captains who run up the driveway, now that is simply amazing :D

[rpc71185]

what type of fd is it. is it strictly volunteer or do they have any full timers there.

[sosgaming]

Now that's the way I wish we were at a fire...there's only a couple of us who get off the truck and get to work quick

[PFD9023]

hahahahahaahahahah how come at 2:25 the gys et out and take off????

[piolet41]

if the fires up the road and ur truck can't get there, u do! ;) haha,  -VFF

[PowercallSirensSuck7]

real fire trucks dont use powercalls

[cdz69]

it was completely volunteer but now it is mixed

[lizardofozz88]

STAND ON THAT Q!

[51ENGINE51]

How old is the kid ? like 15? Also what is manassass population?

[Cooterrob]

around 20,000... the city is split by other fire companies. These are some busy volunteers. Don't bash our brothers for doing the job!

[timberland1108]

whats the name of the song

[kvfd50]

1st song - Sublime - Summertime

2nd Song - Will Smith - Summertime

3rd Song - Shaggy - Summertime

see a trend??? also if you wouldve watched the video all the way through, it lists them...lol

[brettfirefighter129]

I cant stop watching your videos there so awsome,how do you mount the camera on the trucks??

[kgcwhazup]

This was a great Vid, I love Manassas Vid's keep em commin

[Badchoicesmade]

I surprised at the Medical to fire ratio, (I thought the medical was higher is comparsion)

Also The 30 Fire alarms, does that mean automatic fire alarm, false alarm or both?

and what were the unknown type rescues?

[njluvpets]

Great video....hey can I spend 2 weeks in the city?

[mxfrmbarsspbdsrtrver]

niceeee

[floriank112]

nicccccce! always love your movies!!!

[Radar50]

man you guys get some good jobs....

[jjatver95]

just out of curistoy how old are you?

[towershafer501]

Im 15 .

[bbmyls2go]

great job as usual Mike, and Chris, nice pictures, they kept you busy!

[Firefighter175]

love the video! however not so much that dumass that you guys almost hit! the people we have to deal with no these days! WOW 124 runs for 2 weeks?? that busy? How many workers do you guys have? also How many calls per shift on average? And what program did you use for editing?

[Firefighter175]

also where is Manassas located?

[bbmyls2go]

Manassas (the site of a famous civl war battle) is about 30 miles due west of Washington, DC if you travel out on I-66. 30 years ago it was a sleepy little farming town but with suburban sprawl, it is now on the edge of the DC metro area and is a major commuter 'bedroom community' with the new housing developments you see in their videos, and tons of shopping and industrial areas. BTW, the pickup did have the green light and there was a building on the corner blocking the view, can't fault him!

[Firefighter175]

thats true the Engine didnt make a complete stop at the red though! lessons learned i guess lol.

[turbolaser92]

Sick video as usual and looks like a great experience the kid looks a little young tho?
