If you don't like school full time firefighting may not be for you. All paid departments I know of require at least an EMT- B, and to maintain your license you need to continue to take classes to get CEU's. In Illinois I believe that's 140 hours every four years for just a BASIC license. Not to mention the fire classes... NIMS, RIT, HAZMAT (IL requires 28 hours of HAZMAT), Tech Rescue, FF II/FF Basic Ops (240 hrs or so in IL), special training (i.e. farm rescue for my volly dept.), etc, etc, etc
What an idiot! That fire wasn't even close to 1200 Degrees. And where was the instructors hood before he went in!! Plus i have done all that already so i don't need a stupid T.V.show to prove it. Give that guy a 250psi and he would be flying!
i went to the bergen county law and public safety institute class 382 my instructors told me boots gloves and helmet at all times while your on the fireground at any time
I feel less hetero after watching this nerd. adrenaline my A, this clown didn't do anything. Why do we allow these jokers to make a mockery of our profession so he can collect a paycheck?
anywhere above 1000 degrees and flashover conditions are there, it's not a set at this temperature flashover will happen, there are a variety of other factors, fuel load for example
We do this competition at my firehouse who can hold a inch and 3/4 no back up highest psi and u said 250 impossible I tell you it is I my self have reaches 190/200 just goto keep going at it you can do it .
I gotta say.. not close to a real structure fire if it is with gas.. you don't hear the crackle of the fire burning.. nor can you see it develop properly.. just my $0.02
@southernhostility, 250psi at the nozzle? Your out of ur mind...nobody could hold that...ever. now 250gpm would be reasonable....even with 150psi or 200 psi @ the truck, depending on your line length, it wouldn't be that bad. More gpm means less psi. More psi means less gpm.
Firemast2......not true. Fog has its place on the fire ground. You know just as I do that the arguement for s.s. over fog has gone on for yrs and will continue 4 yrs to come.
If you don't like medical stuff then don't become a firefighter, and don't just get the paramedic license cause you want better chances to be a paid firefighter either. You need to actually enjoy doing that stuff, and actually care for patients!!! I hate when I see people get the paramedic license just because they want to get hired.
Are you in the fire industry? If so have you EVER been off of the truck or out of the station? Burn houses like that can get extremely hot in a matter of minutes. It's not all gumdrops & lollipops, this guy at least admitted he was only there for the day & not the full course.
@riocowboy77 thanks 4 ur feedback. To answer ur question, 13 years with a city dept. I've been to many burn simulator over my years. I assume you r in the service too. I understand he is only there for a day and he is a TV host. Just from what I see in this video, Ive noticed the instructor did not go into the simulator with his hood on - if that is the case then they won't be running full flame. 2nd, I see two doorways that were open and a exterior vent screen to this room - so maybe a tad mor
Yes sir, I haven't been in the service quite that long but I've grown up with all of my family being firefighters, my grandfather being in for over 35 years. I understand what you're saying now.
It's always nice to see firefighters represented. However, I wish they would get it right.... 1,200 degrees? I wish my bare hands and ears could withstand that... Please tell me there are a few other instructors there following NFPA 1403 and leading by example by putting their gear on correctly?
i think its funny how people dont get the strength behind are hoses..... give him a 2.5 with a straight bore nozzel at just 100 psi he deff wont think its easy at all...
This is pretty cool... I just graduated from my fire academy in June. It was the best thing I did. I wish we had a nice burn facility like that... we have a burn building. Its all concrete and we attach plywood on the walls on the inside. We only did hay and pallet fires. I wish we could have something like this.....
That happened to me with the hose a couple days ago. We were doing drills and I was suppose to be shooting out the window until the hydrant arrived. He arrived so the captain told me to turn off the hose. Next think you know the instructor comes yelling at me to turn it back on. I thought my captain was behind me but I guess not. Luckily there was a wall 5 feet back.
LOl cut the guy some slack it's his first day lol.. I'm pretty sure as a Army Ranger he can handle his part in the Fire service maybe not first day but soon enough. I'm kinda peeved they passed on a show like this one. C'mon nothing is more exciting than the Fire Service...
Im at a fire academy in florida and our burn building is very similar to what that was. I like how the instructor said its not as easy as it looks. spot on. whats wrong with A&E maybe discorvery or msnbc will take it?
Nice gloves on that old school Academy Chief. He is waving his hands around to direct the stream in the burn room while standing in maybe a couple hundred degrees of heat, clearly not the temps that the actor stated.
Most controlled gas fired rooms never achieve the same amount of heat as a real non-controlled fire. The systems computer controlled ventilation fans will kick on so nobody will get hurt.
This is a very good concept, It's quick to the point and straight forward. I liked it alot... Wish I could see more, I'm about to turn 19 and have been in the fire service since 16 and it's been a huge passion for me since i was 2 years old making SCBA's out of misc supplies and vacuum parts..
But if you could upload this to a file sharing website and post a link that'd be great.. But I'd definatly watch this series.. The only con about it, its not original. Had to be honest.
Some of you are ridiculous. If you're in high school, just concentrate on that. I don't know too much about volly departments and how it works with explorers, but just finish high school. Not all of you will make it as a full-time firefighter. Even if you do, you might get hurt. Get your education just in case.
NO, you do not need to be a paramedic. I never plan on being one. I work for the DCFD on one of the busiest companies in the city. So I've got a little bit of experience.
ya no joke to get good money on the FD u got to have paramedic... my junior and sophomore and senior years i can have my emt 2 at least by the time i graduate which will be nice cuz they i get my firefighter 2 or 3 and finish to get paramedic and im set.
I am a volly. in my town and to actually think its only get to 500 600? Come down to Middletown NJ and ill give you a run for your money in the burn room and that's just controlled.
yeah im going the same route as you, Im going to take paramedics in college because thats what you need these days to get paid well as a firefighter! Yeah this fall im taking it, because seriosuly Firefighting is the best JOB in whole wide world;) Wish you the Best=)
being a firefighter IS the best job in thee whole wide world!! and its not always just about how much your getting paid your constantly saving lives and making a difference! im only a fire explorer right now lol im 14 but hope that one day i make it as a full on firefighter!!!!!!
@BYOB561 Well all firefighters have to be EMT's, When you become a volunteer usually the department will pay for your EMT classes, but if you want to be paid! then I would recommend getting your paramedic license. You would be very valuable. Where I live, we have 90% medical calls, 10% fire calls.
@andreybigb2343 I have a question, I want to be a firefighter when i grow up, Should i take the EMT basics in college and learn about that stuff and then go to the fire academy????
@paintbllwizard When your done with high school, call your local fire dept ask about becoming a volunteer firefighter. Then you have to take written test and physical, after you pass you can go on and take your emt, the department usually will pay for them, then after about 6 months maybe less, the department puts you through fire academy!! if you like both medic and fire side, get your paramedic license, that will increase your chances of getting hired as a paid firefighter by 300%.
@andreybigb2343 some fire dept allow you to only take a ERT course, Which allows you to act under supervision on an EMT. And like BYOB561 said 90% is medical & mva's so medical training is a must
you'll never make it as a firefighter if you dont finish highschool, these days you cant really do anything without your grade 12. I hated school sooo much but i did it now im on a volunteer dpt and going to college come september to do a paramedic pogram .. which will help me get into a fulltime fire dpt .. you need to get yourr education if it kills you .. u just have to
12 hundred degrees my ass! The chief didnt even have his gloves on plus he was standing up. Propane burn like that with the simulated smoke I give you 800 degrees tops! By the way sorry for all of the criticism from everyone but if youve ever walked into a firehouse youd understand its in our nature haha
This guy is a freaking pus, Ok first off it may be 1200 degress at the cieling but around where your body is in the room it might be 300 tops, especaily with a gas burn like this. To get a decent feel for a real fire you have to use wood pallets and hay. This guy would shit him self inside a real working house fire. But for a video stand point, it is fairly ok. If you dont know anything about firefighting it is an ok demonstration. But he wouldnt cut it in the real world.
2 man job to gear up i get all that on in under 2 minutes and he cant handle 90 p.s.i. alone i remember handling 140 on my own because i didnt have a choice, u either suck it up or you lose a house
this video is ok i mean honestly no gloves it was prolly only a few hundred degrees because my 1st fire i felt it the second i went in the window to push the fire back into the garge
First off, 1200 degrees? If it was 1200 degrees, he would be dead. Turnout gear only does so much. And the instructor had no gloves on, there wasn't shit for heat in there.
i dont think so those are beyond flashover conditions and people get burned in flashovers all the time, firefighters handbook says 800 degrees for 35 seconds before turnouts go 20 seconds for gloves and hood
Gas training is good in the point that it allows you to learn to work the hose but it is nothing compaired to a good Class A burning fire. The heat from the gas fires is no match to anything a real fire produces.
So heres a clue, @ 7:30 the instructor helps him into the supposed 1200 degree room, but wait a sec. The instructor isnt wearing gloves! how can that be? Is he some sort of super firefighting god? No!!!!! The ambient temperature in that room is maybe 200-300 degrees, and thats if you get really close to the fire. Gas training fires dont teach anything except how to extinguish a big BBQ fire!
Firefighting is a HUGE adrenaline rush, training is fun but nothing like a real structure fire, you will never get used to it haha. Its the best feeling in the world I LOVE it!
The adrenaline you get in a burn tower is nowhere near what you get going into a real working structure fire. No matter how many times i do it, its always a huge rush! Gotta love it!
hahah this guy is a show host and doesnt want to do this for a living give him a break lol for even doing this outside after watching videos on here and researching the career i cant not wait for Academy!
Are you serious!!! ive been throught both gas and combustible burn rooms and there is nooooooo way either on of those rooms ever reached a 1000 degrees!!! Screw gas trainning if u want to be a F.F. youve got to train like you play wheres the smoke!!!!!
no shit.....haha he makes us sounds badass but hes babying it. lets give him a real fire, or make him carry a high rise pack and a tool for about ten stories. haha something
this guy didnt go through anything yet. If that guy is an instructor and it was realistic he would have his nomex and gloves on, but he is showing a lot of bare skin. I want to see if he can stand going into an actual 1000 degree room.
That's great but i am a volunteer firefighter in PA and those conditions were nothing compared to the test.... let alone the real thing. he had it easy. light smoke and it ventilated rather well so he had added light.
yeah, it had to be tailored to the fact that we were filming it so we kept the smoke light so people could see what was going on, and despite wrapping the cameras in nomex, we needed to keep it relatively bearable for the camera guys.
well that explains a lot, but if he wants the closest to the real thing, he should do it the way it is in the test. in my test the fire was rolling right over my head and back. and trust me that is an experience not to be soon forgotten.
Are you 21,drive,a U.S. citizen,hold a driver's license valid in New York State,a resident of one of the five boroughs of New York City, or live in Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk or Westchester County,Be a Certified First Responder with Defibrillation (CFR-D),Have at least 15 college semester credits? If yes then yea, you can. Theres more info on their website.
did u watch the whole thing?...its all controlled.....by switches....so ya in a real fire ya thats a dumb fuck move....but then again...lead by example right,,,,and train liek its the real thing..
Sorry guys... I only cut one segment for this. it was a pilot i made to pitch the show to A&E. unfortunately, it was a no go... maybe down the road we'll get it on, but I was in a few weeks ago talking about a "deadliest catch" type firefighter show
haha...my dad was a volunteer.....back in the day....and he calls all the shit we wear is for wimps haha made me laugh....he said htat when he knew when it was to hot was when his ears couldnt take it no more....man gotta give it to them old timers.....no hoods...no mask sometimes....just straight up balls
OK why does this ass keep saying he's going into a 1200 degree room.. If it was that hot it would flash first of all and second of all the instructor standing up wouldn't last 3 seconds..
Haha I am a firefighter in Passaic county and that instructor Dave is on the other company in town. i been in that burn room bout a thousand times. so weird to see lol.
god what i would do to see this guy handle a duce and a half. he would be knocked on his ass. wht was he using a inch and a half or inch and three quarter?
Seriously? Turn on the fog and hit it high? What fire academy taught you that? You'll burn yourself worse with the steam from the fog than the fire would...
Haha.. no worries, you weren't calling me one. I'm just saying that no firefighter in their right mind would ever open a fog high on a fire... so ya kinda sound like an idiot for saying to do that :P If you're going to critique, know what you're talking about.
@kameronbc21 I was thinking the same myself as watching it , if he done that in serious hot fire training he would be scalded no matter what gear he had on
If you don't like school full time firefighting may not be for you.

Then you have to take written test and physical, after you pass you can go on and take your emt, the department usually will pay for them, then after about 6 months maybe less, the department puts you through fire academy!! if you like both medic and fire side, get your paramedic license, that will increase your chances of getting hired as a paid firefighter by 300%.

@andreybigb2343 some fire dept allow you to only take a ERT course, Which allows you to act under supervision on an EMT. And like BYOB561 said 90% is medical & mva's so medical training is a must

12 hundred degrees my ass! The chief didnt even have his gloves on plus he was standing up. Propane burn like that with the simulated smoke I give you 800 degrees tops! By the way sorry for all of the criticism from everyone but if youve ever walked into a firehouse youd understand its in our nature haha
battles916 1 year ago
This guy is a freaking pus, Ok first off it may be 1200 degress at the cieling but around where your body is in the room it might be 300 tops, especaily with a gas burn like this. To get a decent feel for a real fire you have to use wood pallets and hay. This guy would shit him self inside a real working house fire. But for a video stand point, it is fairly ok. If you dont know anything about firefighting it is an ok demonstration. But he wouldnt cut it in the real world.

@casams1992 yea but he says in the video that he cant handle the pressure so another guy has to position the hose and aim it

this video is ok i mean honestly no gloves it was prolly only a few hundred degrees because my 1st fire i felt it the second i went in the window to push the fire back into the garge

Haha this isn't legit.
First off, 1200 degrees? If it was 1200 degrees, he would be dead. Turnout gear only does so much. And the instructor had no gloves on, there wasn't shit for heat in there.
spyderpntballer1 2 years ago
fires do actually get up to 12oo degrees, a house fire can get up to 2000, they have special turnout gear that can protect up to that temp.
HollywoodParody 2 years ago

msduncan96 1 year ago
i dont think so those are beyond flashover conditions and people get burned in flashovers all the time, firefighters handbook says 800 degrees for 35 seconds before turnouts go 20 seconds for gloves and hood

u will be dead if u are in a room thats 2500 degrees man

Gas training is good in the point that it allows you to learn to work the hose but it is nothing compaired to a good Class A burning fire. The heat from the gas fires is no match to anything a real fire produces.

So heres a clue, @ 7:30 the instructor helps him into the supposed 1200 degree room, but wait a sec. The instructor isnt wearing gloves! how can that be? Is he some sort of super firefighting god? No!!!!! The ambient temperature in that room is maybe 200-300 degrees, and thats if you get really close to the fire. Gas training fires dont teach anything except how to extinguish a big BBQ fire!

firegogilbert 2 years ago 2
this guy didnt go through anything yet. If that guy is an instructor and it was realistic he would have his nomex and gloves on, but he is showing a lot of bare skin. I want to see if he can stand going into an actual 1000 degree room.
gower22 2 years ago 14
That's great but i am a volunteer firefighter in PA and those conditions were nothing compared to the test.... let alone the real thing. he had it easy. light smoke and it ventilated rather well so he had added light.
maniacmike75 2 years ago 3
yeah, it had to be tailored to the fact that we were filming it so we kept the smoke light so people could see what was going on, and despite wrapping the cameras in nomex, we needed to keep it relatively bearable for the camera guys.
NeonJesus314 2 years ago
well that explains a lot, but if he wants the closest to the real thing, he should do it the way it is in the test. in my test the fire was rolling right over my head and back. and trust me that is an experience not to be soon forgotten.
