First off....great video. You hit a home run with this one!
That being said, why all the arguing? Even as a volunteer, we are taught this is a brotherhood, a lifestyle, a calling. We are taught how to be professional, stay calm, and keep our wits. Don't let one person get to you guys. As a volly, I know what I go through, and I got nothing to prove to a full time guy, or anyone else. Neither does anyone else. Maybe he missed the point of what we do. Not every ff gets the point.
I've been a Firefighter with Emt-B and certs for 3 years now, and it's been the best time of my life. I felt pushed by the 9/11 incident, god bless the 343. Someone yesterday asked me, why do you do it? Why is it when we're scared, you come calm, and help people out, well let me tell you, ITS NOT FOR THE ATTENTION. ITS A PASSION.. this is a amazing LIFESTYLE. We're not a heroes, just people with a passion.
the funny thing is the the paid guys around where i live talk shit about volunteers but half the paid guys around here came from volly departments. the thing is it is suppose to be a brotherhood and not about if ur paid or not. i like ralphs comment
As LAcoFIREguy and RalphFDNY4life said, "People That talk shit about volunteers are idiots! Anyone that want to argue that with me can e mail me. I guarantee I work for a bigger and better paid department then you! Volunteers are 90% of our brothers out there! They go into ripping fires with out a pay check, they volunteer! Show some Respect!"
Great video, and such is the life of a Volunteer FF! I cant count the number of dinners gone cold, days on end with no sleep,missing family get togethers, and feeling the twist in your gut when you recognize the address dispatch gave you, or the mangled wreckage of a teenager you just watched make the winning jump-shot 2 hrs before & now you're doing CPR on him, or getting a CPR in progress call at your parents house. Then you go work your paying job the next day. Loved it, thanks!
Im proud to be a firefighter. Im proud that in my family there are three firefighters, me, my stepsister who is trained as a fire investigator, and my stepdad, who just retired as a fire chief after 25 years. We are alll volunteers, and Im proud of that. But I dont have a beef with paid departments. Its a lot of training that I have to do outside of my two paid jobs, but I dont do it for money. I do it because I have a passion for it. Stay safe out there, whether you get paid or not.
Some of the volunteer departments in Prince George's County get more exposure than many paid. Bladensburg Volunteers of the PGFD get 6000 calls, Kentland Volunteers get over 7000, both 100% Volunteers. How about that?
There is not too many firestations in this world that are like the station 9, Bladensburg in PG Country, Maryland. Endless Respect.
what is funny im a volly and payed and guess what its the same . but people say vollys dont have the same tranning you are wrong i train more as a volly than i will ever train payed we are all brothers if all yall have 2 do is fight each other maby u dont need to be a firefighter take the time studying how to fight fire and not each other
To all of those Volunteer AND Paid Firefighter out there You all go through the same training to be a firefighter AND you all work just as hard as the other out there. So knock all this crap off with bashing each other. YOU ARE ALL BROTHERS!!! And you are all tops in my book. Be Safe all of you......
Im a volly, but who cares if your paid or not. The only difference is when i get up at 3am for a box, im doing it because i enjoy it. I hate when people think because your on a paid crew your better. My guys preform better, work harder, and are respected more for proffesionalism, than the paid crews next town over. We all put wet stuff on the hot stuff, just along. If my town needed it we would have paid too. But we have enough volunteers, which are the back bone of all firefighting
I have a lot of respect for firefighters, volunteer or otherwise. They came into a fully engulfed apartment and saved the lives of my children and myself. If it wasn't for them we would have died from the smoke. God Bless them all.
To the Sinnfien4life asshole - I hope someone blows a hot load in your wife's face while your put on a call - oh wait - you're not a firefighter anymore because you went out on disability for a hangnail. Fuckbag! Any other volunteers feel free to bash this super-ego piece of shit!!!!!
for those of you that say that volunteers do not recieve the same training as the paid staff are wrong i start my classed in the fall at my countys votec and ill come out with the same certifications of a lot of the DFRS staff
@bsb552 its all about the experience while on the job nothing against volunteers but you just dont get as much exposure on a day to day basis. like any dept volunteer or not there are those that earn it and those that squeeze through the cracks, My only pet peeve with any firefighters is self proclaimed heros, the guys that wear there shirts everywhere to get attention it shouldnt be about that, if it is you got into the wrong job. Anyways keep safe out there.
Do you like your survivair packs? Our department carrys them and Im not sure if they compare to the scotts. Cool vid, wish we could do something like that.
That was pretty good video iv actually seen shit like that im JR. Firefighter and seen my dad go in that shit and people who say this is lame could suck a dick cause guess what i want you to try to go in 700 degree fires and try to rescue someone
exactly xD well depends how bad the fire is so it could be like 700 degrees but ^^ my pa was in the volenteer firefighter and then got cancer and he got rid of it and now they want him back on the team badly
Hey guys great movie and for all of you who call it Lame why dont you try doing what they do very day, cut em a break. All of you on a fire dept. deserve a Big thank you so.... THANK YOU
sinnfein4life im going to call you out... why do you fight fire? look i work for a large city too but i volunteer in my home town. so when you insult the volunteers your insulting our brothers... were all in this because we love it.
Like LAcoFIreGuy Stated! "People That talk shit about volunteers are idiots! Anyone that want to argue that with me can e mail me. I guarantee I work for a bigger and better paid department then you! Volunteers are 90% of our brothers out there! They go into ripping fires with out a pay check, they volunteer! Show some Respect!"
well said, most of us in my department are just rednecks with blue lights. We cross train with city which is paid and we have taught them as much as they have taught us. We have been teaching them rural water supply and nursing their sutphen ladder trucks. they have taught us about hydrant operation
i feel you dude im 18 and i volunteer upstate ny and our whole fire company is volunteers i mean yea we dont do buildings but shit going into a burning house scares the shit out of my mom and my gf alot but nomatter what city or country your a brother and good luck 2 you and godbless
@RalphFDNY4life THANK YOU!!!!!!! I'm so tired of paid FF sayin volunteers are crapy, or worthless. I am a 18 year old FF/FR and am going for my commisions 1, EMT-iv, Rescue divier, Extrication, HAZ-MAT tech, and countless other Specialties. and im a volunteer for paulette fire rescue we have a VERY ungrateful community and its nice to see a paid FF that dnt have a "if your not paid your not good" attitude
@RalphFDNY4life thanks brother!! my father has been a volunteer firefighter for over 30 years im his youngest daughter and right now im in traing. its so true that no one cares about any firefighter till there the ones that need saving! my dad fights 4 what he loves and does it for free too.
yeah what he said you want to talk shit about us volunteer's i bet most of you were volunteer at a point you know you guys are dumb you know heck we got a city next to us called Bradford Pa we could show them up if you stick up for volunteer's you rock and its hard to be a volunteer because we can be with our faimlies in a second those tones go off we can be dead in 15 min. so don't say shit about us volunteer we trie our fucking best
People That talk shit about volunteers are idiots! Anyone that want to argue that with me can e mail me. I guarantee I work for a bigger and better paid department then you! Volunteers are 90% of our brothers out there! They go into ripping fires with out a pay check, they volunteer! Show some Respect!
your wrong and right. Volunteers aren't idiots. They are not well trained though. they are way worse then paid firefighters simply because of they aren't big enough to be paid they "legally" dont need the training. but no matter how bad they are we are all brothers. no matter what. im in a Canadian fire dept and we all cried on 9/11. It amazes me actually, opposite sides of the continent and in different countries and it still shattered our hearts
there was a firedepartment from my state(wisconsin) that went all the way to NY to help search for firefighters and serve food, its even in one of those movies, i think its called "Twin Towers", about the 2 port cops who got traped...
@LAcoFIREguy THANK YOU!!!!!!! I'm so tired of paid FF sayin volunteers are crapy, or worthless. I am a 18 year old FF/FR and am going for my commisions 1, EMT-iv, Rescue divier, Extrication, HAZ-MAT tech, and countless other Specialties. and im a volunteer for paulette fire rescue we have a VERY ungrateful community and its nice to see a paid FF that dnt have a "if your not paid your not good" attitude
Stop dissing vollies, at the end of the day every firefighter is the same. Give respect to a man that will go into a burning building and give his life for no compensation at all. Like it or not every single fireman lives a hero, vollie or not, every fireman is a brother
Why are people dissin' volunteer firefighters? In my eyes every firefighter is the same. Some get paid and others just volunteer. I'm on a volunteer department right now, but will eventually do it as a career. Whether we're paid or not we all get the job done.
I am 100% volunteer and proud ,there is nothing wrong with doing something right without getting paid for it. and were fight em better then you anyday!.
Yeah thats why you guys bring 6 engines and 4 trucks for a room and contents.. Break all the windows instead of opening them and cut vents in the roof... It's no comparison my truck does about 1400 runs a year with about 260-320 working jobs.. we consider a working job when we hit the plug... Not a kitchen or room and contents..Those are just daily occurrences..A tactical box 2-1..bedroom equals booster line.. we fill out the box when both engines and the truck are all hands working.. wackers!
my department runs about 5000 calls a year. 99 Percent are volunteer, 1 percent is paid. On a routine residential structure fire we take 3 engines, 2 tankers and a squad. We dont rely on hydrants like the paid guys. It seems to be your crutch because you dont have to do water supply so you bring less trucks. Who care how many trucks come. Might i add that we are all FF 1 and 2 and EMT's and cross train with city. But the way you trash talk on the volunteers you arent a brother just an asshole.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Your right im not your brother!!! See unless you carry a union card your just another whacker who plays fireman!!!! Yes we use hydrants because we are a city not some hillbilly dept in the middle of a cornfireld!!! Sure you do 5000 fires a year yeah right!!! Now go hang out at your vollie house waiting for "THE BIG ONE" and i will be at your house fucking your girlfriend and shooting my load on her face!!!!! Hope the big fire was worth it biotch!!!!
What city do you work for? I work for FDNY and respect volunteers! How do they "play fireman" ? they pull line and go in don't they? If you do not carry a union card? LOL you are in you're own little world. I really want to know where you are a smoke eater at! Oh and I volunteer in the city I live in when I am off. I must not be a real firefighter when I am not at 217's
@sinnfein4life Do you even give a damn?? Cause if you don't, maybe you shouldn't be a firefighter! Show some respect for your brothers and sisters! Volunteer or paid, they save lives every day, putting their asses on the line to save people they don't know. I'm a fire Explorer, and I see how hard firefighters work. They don't deserve to be shoved aside because they are volunteers! So like I said before: SHOW SOME RESPECT, OR DON'T EVEN GIVE A DAMN, AND WALK OUT THE DOOR!!
@sinnfein4life - you are truly an asshole who has NO RESPECT for those who volunteer to do what you greedy piece of shit wants to get paid to do. Fuck you for bashing volunteers. I hope every volunteer in this country unites and kicks your ass for the pompus bullshit coming out of your mouth. As for you being at a volunteers house blowing a load on her face - an even bigger FUCK YOU because YOU HAVE A WIFE ASSHOLE!!!!!
Comments like this make me worry for the future of the fire service, and how a reputation some worked so hard and so long to obtain is slandered in the public's eyes because of crap like this.
RalphFDNY4Life and LACOfireguy, i appreciate the respect you have for the volunteers. BCFD here in Boone County Missouri allows students to live for free in their station as long as the trucks get out the door. Its a great trade off. sinnfein4life pull your head outta your ass maybe go back to 3rd grade and learn to read. I never said 5000 fires, just 5000 calls, mainly medical. id like to see you drive your big truck on my gravel roads.
I think this is a very good music video, not only for the song, but to just show everyone how the life of a volunteer firefighter is..couldnt tell anyone how many times ive done the same thing as the guy at the beginning does.. getting out of bed, not knowing whats to come.. anyways, love the video, and god bless
It's a good video. I can't believe there's jealousy between full-time and volunteer firefighters as per some of the comments here. Good grief. You all do good. Does it really matter?
It was almost hard to tell that this was a training scenario. When "horsehead" explained the CPR, it kind of made sense. I hear they do that all the time in medical shows like House M.D. so they don't hurt the actor/actress. Good video hurstnova350.
BTW, I am a certified first responder so yes, I do know how to correctly do CPR and I could tell you that this way was not the correct way. I know why they did CPR that way too so I am not just siding with the majority.
of hell yea i would take 10 good trained vollies over a paid FF, that's a no brainer dude. I don't do it for the money, teachers make more than me, why am i still doing this? i love it.
vollies don't have the same training as professionals, pros>vollies.
depends on the department. Im on Boone County Fire in Columbia Missouri. There is a recruit class where you recieve fire 1 and 2. It depends on how volunteer you get. Super small towns of under 1000 people are usually not very well trained. but when you get into larger cities with rural volley departments then they are more trained. I dont make a dime but i love doing it. What i have seen is that the paid guys take longer to put stuff out, unlike us who come in do the deed and go
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You have got to be kidding!!!! The guckers..(vollies) are no where near as well trained as career firemen!!!! And no i don't just do it for a paycheck!! I do it for the medical too!!! HA!!!
Im a volunteer fireman in nova scotia, and its a fact we receive a considerable amount more training then paid firefighters. Its the real deal, we do as much as paid firefighters, without getting paid. Why? who knows, its in our nature I guess.
first all 3/4s of the Firefighters in America are Volunteers and most deparments that have paid one also have Volunteers so im sure u have Volunteers on your Dept or on other Depts u work Mutual Aid 3rd i know ALOT of Volunteers i would put head to head against ANY Career Firefighter anyday my Dept is all Volunteer there are guys that would put you to SHAME so stop talking crap about how much better Career are then Volunteers we are all Brothers show some RESPECT !!
In MD everybody has to take the same classes from the organization. Your rural 150 call per year vollies have the same exact training as Baltimore City, from the same exact agency, MFRI, which is part of the University of Maryland. So your comment doesn't pertain everywhere.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
HA HA yeah right vioolies are you kidding me? We all know vollies create most of there own runs.... Vollie motto.... we light em then pretend to fight em!!!!
yoo nabby the only reason fore the stomache compressions is there doing a video so there doing fake compressions so go play barbie or something cause you dont know jack! Great Video..MCFD
fatal flaw my ass. Hosehead325 is right about why they are doing stomach compressions instead of chest compressions. Before you open your mouth next time nabby, make sure you know what your talking about first
those vollies from small towns most of the time do a better job then alot of paid guys then i know considering we actually love what we do , instead of doing just for the bi weekly paycheck....huge difference, id take ten good trained volunteer firefighters over regular paid firefighters anyday...becuase they got more drive to fight fire becuase to them it aint about a pay check, its just about doing for the next person calling 911, a sense of giving back....
screw you I am a vollie degree in fire science and wildland fire management have more training than the average joe use to work for phoenix fd and prefer small vollie department we train harder because aholes like you don't take us seriously . Have tenyears of schooling and am only a officer should see what are captains have to go through. did you know that 80% of firefighters in the U.S. are vollies so shut your mouth. we vollies have more numbers than the payed guys. piss of nabby
now with the economy the way it is everyone will be going back to volunteer I am from Oklahoma where 875 of the departments are volunteer and there are only approx 45 that are full time paid departments and we make it just fine here so don´t insult volunteer departments
Its just a video, and Abdominal Thrusts would be used for Foregin Body Airway Obstructions (FBAO) choking victim, and there may come a time where you perform Chest Thrusts on a person due to Pregnancy or it be a Obese person. Everyone in the Emergency field should deffintely get out get educated and take some courses such as CPR and First Aid, Talk to your Line Officers about getting a class going, remember this is a tradition a brotherhood, Stay Safe!
This is hoseheads big bro, Just to set the record for all you peeps,It is just a video and great song at that, Nabby your argument is correct chest compressions should be done on the center of the CHEST, as for stomach compressions I have always been more altered to use the terminology (Abdominal Thrust} as used by CPR rescuers! Further more this was an amazing video and it does not even come close to the actual recognition these people deserve!!!
man must be fun trying to put on bunker gear over your jeens... lol i prefer to wear my station blues, but i dont hvae a permanent pair atm i will in a few months when they finally arive!
What year is that engine? Good grief that thing is short! Our engine and rescue are at least like 2 ft taller (we use the commercial style). One is a KME/E-One and the other is an International/E-One.
because it wasnt a real situation so 1. it might be harmful to do real compressions on a beating heart, and 2. it was a girl so that might get a little racy with your hands on her chest if they don't need to be so the stomach is safer in all aspects
Of course you couldn't do full pressure compressions, but as for you second point I would get the vic's permission and make sure whomever was performing CPR followed exact protocol so that no incident arises. You have a valid interpretation, but if I were making this movie I'd do it the real way.
i wish it was that easy in real life guys. if it was everyone would go home and everyone would be alive. but the sad thing is that nothing happens that way.
awsome. Im a rural and i very much appreciate what the urbans do. =] And the girl lives she just gests sent to hospital for smoke inhalation. standard procedure
haha i think he ment apperatus and its because its not a real truck real ones are red. haha jk hey if it gets the job done. the fire services in the uk are pretty different when i went there their trucks were very weirdly shaped. lol
We have specials here in England (pumps, pump/ladders and emergency tenders) but they are all RED. By the way we call them appliances or fire engines and they are all based on commercial lorry chassis with coach built body's.
theres no set code we at the station in town have 2 trucks that are bright orange because its easyer to see from a distance in the brush.
altho its were with the big ole wheel on the back end of the engine but meh like the dude said what ever gets the job done and done right with no injurys.
Engines, trucks, tankers/tenders w/e, and other pieces vary in many different colors. I've seen blue, green, purple, pink, white, red, and more. I live by station and we run yellow. Our pieces out at school are orange though. Its kind of like a personality.
our trucks are red, yellow or white normally it is a real truck. we call them engines, pumpers, rescue or ladder/quint depending on their speacilty. this was a real truck with a real department

your wrong and right. Volunteers aren't idiots. They are not well trained though. they are way worse then paid firefighters simply because of they aren't big enough to be paid they "legally" dont need the training. but no matter how bad they are we are all brothers. no matter what. im in a Canadian fire dept and we all cried on 9/11.

Yeah thats why you guys bring 6 engines and 4 trucks for a room and contents.. Break all the windows instead of opening them and cut vents in the roof... It's no comparison my truck does about 1400 runs a year with about 260-320 working jobs.. we consider a working job when we hit the plug... Not a kitchen or room and contents..Those are just daily occurrences..A tactical box 2-1..bedroom equals booster line.. we fill out the box when both engines and the truck are all hands working.. wackers!
sinnfein4life 2 years ago
my department runs about 5000 calls a year. 99 Percent are volunteer, 1 percent is paid. On a routine residential structure fire we take 3 engines, 2 tankers and a squad. We dont rely on hydrants like the paid guys. It seems to be your crutch because you dont have to do water supply so you bring less trucks. Who care how many trucks come. Might i add that we are all FF 1 and 2 and EMT's and cross train with city. But the way you trash talk on the volunteers you arent a brother just an asshole.

Your right im not your brother!!! See unless you carry a union card your just another whacker who plays fireman!!!!

Now go hang out at your vollie house waiting for "THE BIG ONE" and i will be at your house fucking your girlfriend and shooting my load on her face!!!!! Hope the big fire was worth it biotch!!!!

Volunteer or paid, they save lives every day, putting their asses on the line to save people they don't know. I'm a fire Explorer, and I see how hard firefighters work.

RalphFDNY4Life and LACOfireguy, i appreciate the respect you have for the volunteers. BCFD here in Boone County Missouri allows students to live for free in their station as long as the trucks get out the door. Its a great trade off. sinnfein4life pull your head outta your ass maybe go back to 3rd grade and learn to read. I never said 5000 fires, just 5000 calls, mainly medical. id like to see you drive your big truck on my gravel roads.

It was almost hard to tell that this was a training scenario. When "horsehead" explained the CPR, it kind of made sense. I hear they do that all the time in medical shows like House M.D. so they don't hurt the actor/actress. Good video hurstnova350.
BTW, I am a certified first responder so yes, I do know how to correctly do CPR and I could tell you that this way was not the correct way. I know why they did CPR that way too so I am not just siding with the majority.

ICHWILL124 3 years ago
depends on the department. Im on Boone County Fire in Columbia Missouri. There is a recruit class where you recieve fire 1 and 2. It depends on how volunteer you get. Super small towns of under 1000 people are usually not very well trained. but when you get into larger cities with rural volley departments then they are more trained. I dont make a dime but i love doing it. What i have seen is that the paid guys take longer to put stuff out, unlike us who come in do the deed and go

those vollies from small towns most of the time do a better job then alot of paid guys then i know considering we actually love what we do , instead of doing just for the bi weekly paycheck....huge difference, id take ten good trained volunteer firefighters over regular paid firefighters anyday...becuase they got more drive to fight fire becuase to them it aint about a pay check, its just about doing for the next person calling 911, a sense of giving back....

Its just a video, and Abdominal Thrusts would be used for Foregin Body Airway Obstructions (FBAO) choking victim, and there may come a time where you perform Chest Thrusts on a person due to Pregnancy or it be a Obese person. Everyone in the Emergency field should deffintely get out get educated and take some courses such as CPR and First Aid, Talk to your Line Officers about getting a class going, remember this is a tradition a brotherhood, Stay Safe!

boston18967345 3 years ago
This is hoseheads big bro, Just to set the record for all you peeps,It is just a video and great song at that, Nabby your argument is correct chest compressions should be done on the center of the CHEST, as for stomach compressions I have always been more altered to use the terminology (Abdominal Thrust} as used by CPR rescuers! Further more this was an amazing video and it does not even come close to the actual recognition these people deserve!!!

I hope your Dept doesnt do CPR like that in a real situation... Why the heck were they giving her compressions to the stomach?
Ladder499999 3 years ago
because it wasnt a real situation so 1. it might be harmful to do real compressions on a beating heart, and 2. it was a girl so that might get a little racy with your hands on her chest if they don't need to be so the stomach is safer in all aspects
simmorey33 3 years ago
Of course you couldn't do full pressure compressions, but as for you second point I would get the vic's permission and make sure whomever was performing CPR followed exact protocol so that no incident arises. You have a valid interpretation, but if I were making this movie I'd do it the real way.
