Thankyou for this video.. I am a volunteer in a town close to Meridian MS.. We just lost a firefighter on scene on February 17, 2011.. We have men and women giving our lives to protect and serve the community please never forget us or what we do.. RIP Alamuncha 6 Larry Gressett Sr.
hey this awsome im a volentier firefighter in North Carolina. I was just voted in just this week. am i allowed to show this at school that i go to as a presentation?
@cowbiker maybe he was ignorant and didn't believe the price tags. I know lots of people who think we exaggerate how expensive equipment and training are and underestimate the hours we serve.
this is very true, right now our department doesn't have but a few thousand, and just got three new recruits. We're having to look everywhere for grants, support us, maybe not for yourself but for all others in need
Thanks for this video, as a volunteer firefighter it is shocking how many people don't know. How many fire departments are volunteer and how many of us, fight fire and save life's not for money but for a deep rooted drive we were born with and can never get rid of it is in our blood and we will always need support so we can safely fight fire and save life's Its hard when you have to buy your own turn out gear because all of my fire departments gear in my size is to old to be used
you will be missed and i will follow in your footsteps forever- dad i know i just wanted to tell you i became a senior firefighter now 18 yrs old--dad you have to com back i miss you ill love you for ever
I wanted to volunteer at BFD (Blaney Fire Department) my father said that I should. But after I filled out the papers and made and called the asst. chief to meet and tk to him, my dad said that if I get hurt I dont have the right health insurance to cover the bills, so I cant do it. But I think that it is actually b/c i am the youngest of me an my sis, or the fact that i will be doing something better than being a police officer like him.
Most volunteer squads have workmans comp, and if they don't they should. But if your hurt while on duty, they have insuarnce for that. How old are you?
Everyone chooses their own destiny, my suggestion is that you follow your own heart/dream as it will be you who has to live with it for the rest of your life.
If you can put you heart and soul in it JOIN! But there is no glamour just alot of work and sometimes long days and nights. But its a good feeling knowing you were there trying to make difference.
thankyou from the vollies from TFSVFD Montana we appreciate the fact that someone tributes the vollies god bless be safe and make it home every night at end of call we walk where the devil dances
great eye opener for alot of ppl i hope. my dept went to a school for fire prevention week... the teachers had no clue what the costs were for the dept just to be able to work a car wreck, or go and fight a structure fire. ppl dont realize we also have regular monthly bills just like they do.
well, it depends what the weather is doing and it's pretty damned unpredictable down here, but it gets quite dry and we do have major bushfires, for example, the scamander fires of december 2006. south east tassie, around swansea and freycinet are probably high fire dangers this season.where abouts are you from?
I hate when we get a brush fire thats hard to access. But thats where me and our 5 other Jr. Firefighters/Explorers come in. Were in better shape than most of the guys so they have us knock the fire down while they try to find an access point.
