  • I never went into a fire without scbu and nomex

  • I would kill to be in a structure fire with that kind of visibility, radio signal, lack of noise, and to be recovering people instead of bodies.

  • You should never search alone, however sometimes there is no other option. If I knew for sure there was a trapped victim in survivable conditions and I had no backup, I would search.

  • I am a 14 year old kid and I dream to become a firefighter from the age of 6.

    I just love every single aspect of this job, especially saving lives: I believe it's a unique experience

    I know I will have to wait a long time to make my dreams come true;

    all i can do for now is thank all the brave firefighters who lost their lives or risk dying in doing one of the best jobs in the world.

    A big thank you all firefighters.

  • @STRIKER125XD well you may be in luck if you have a volly fire dep near you house they take members here in va at 15 or so with the junior program so try that out

  • @1733pvfd oh thanks didn't know that... i'll give it a try next year =)

  • Comment removed

  • @TDOG92340 you can't even spell it right.

  • i love this film cause i have always wanted to be a firefighter since i got a fireman sam bike when i was 2

  • i am going to be a cna I wish I could do something like them

  • send in the RIT Team or RICE

  • talking through an SCBA would NOT sound like that lol but i understand its for the movie

  • i love this movie, it just sucks that critics didnt like it. i think they thought it would be a straight forward firefighter movie but it was more than that. it was the journey of one man and his struggles of being a dedicated firefighter and father. but the trailer dont really show that so i guess it was misleading to people

  • great movie

  • he didnt see the claymore

  • Me, we, them

  • I start my firefighter's training on tuesday. wish me luck.

  • @JohnPlamannMusic How Was The First Couple Of Days, I Bet Hell LOL. If I Get Hired Im Starting Mines In Either November Or December This Year In Portsmouth, Virginia. Good Luck To You Man !!!!

  • @SuperJayZFan1 yeah it was pretty crazy, all worth it to save lives tho.

  • the sound track for this is amazing

  • am hoping to start my fire training soon need to write a 45 minute application form doh!

  • I use to be a firefighter, jut got out of college back in the summer of 1967 I enrolled in philadelphie. The tests were tough, the trainers were dicks who liked to touch us and above all that I couldn't snort all the coke I wanted during the day training! One time a guy on my squad, Johnny Crèmebrulé, was drafted and killed in Nam (Our first war vs. Bin laden). To remember him we all cummed on the fires we had to extinguished that night, I can still smell the sweet burned cum on my old uniform.

  • oh this is hollywood....huh didnt know that lol

  • morris chestnut has to be the most unfortunate name ever

  • @bvillestormchaser what does it all mean?

  • 3rd alarm to box alarm 50-4 please respond 0-1 charlie 1. Engine 5 Engine 55 Engine 33. Truck 1 Truck 49 Medic 20 Field Com respond Newgate Avenue and Newkirk street, Hamilton grain for the building fire, 20:30

    Im a firefighter and that gives me CHILLS

  • You can tell this movie is hollywood

  • We all understand that. Sullet to you guys really I respect all of you. You risk your lives everyday to keep us safe. But can we please just enjoy a beautiful moive that sullets you and your bravery.

  • Im a firefighter and i would never leave anyone from another fire company go search by themselfs

    

  • Im a firefighter and i would never leave anyone from another fire company go search by themselfes

  • Who else notices the hoses are missing fire

  • Wonderful film

    

  • @timberland1108 ya but this isnt a small department they have plenty of men on scene to conduct searches in groups and there were 3 other fireman with him when he said he was going to look for the other trapped occupant so one of them shouldve gone with him

  • Personal safety for you the EMT/Paramedic/Fire Fighter and your crew is the TOP PRIORITY. That is one of the first things you are taught in EMT-B and (i would assume) fire school.

  • @TheTwentyoneguns actually Baltimore City SOPs do aloow it in extreme cases

  • @MaXWB89

    Key phrase though: extreme cases.

  • @TheTwentyoneguns fuck you

  • fire conditions on the outside were certainly not indicative of what they show on the inside of the structure when ladder 49 is conducting a primary search...with those conditions on the outside nobody... i say again... nobody should be entering that structure.... draft from the river set up your towers and surround and drown... 2-3 civilians is a good loss for a structure that size, being dumb and sending in firefighters is exactly why jack died lol

  • @kodythepimp01 Is this a true story??

  • @ChrisGariepy nooo i doubt it... i was just saying he died becuase of those things... but without doing that shit they wouldnt have a movie

  • @kodythepimp01 No civilian deaths are ever a "good" loss. 

  • @paramedic90emt ...would you rather it be those three civilians and 5-10 firefighters or 3 civillians.... did you forget the number 1 rule for firefighters in the line of duty...... Personal safety is NUMBER ONE above anything!

  • @kodythepimp01 You obiously don't know shit about what it's like to be firefighter if you say that bullshit.

  • @paramedic90emt you must not be a firefighter at all if you don't know that you worry about yourself before anything else..... if you die then who saves the victim.... how about you study some of the basics of firefighting before you go telling me I don't know anything about it.

  • @kodythepimp01 So leaving them to die is saving them? You never EVER leave someone behind if you think there's the smallest chance of rescueing them. That's the whole point of firefighting: Saving lives. When you sign up to be a firefighter you place yourself second and the victim first asshole.

  • @paramedic90emt You act like I wouldn't go in any fire to save any victim, I never said anything of the such. What you don't understand is that its not the tough guy balls out risk it all tactics anymore. You have to be concerned with safety. If the risk of going in to the building is greater than the benefit, or in simple terms for people like you, If sending in 2 firefighters to their probable deaths to save an individual that has little to no chance of making it anyway is absolutley stupid

  • @paramedic90emt I hope you never become an officer, its people like you who think they can save everything, getting people killed in the works. And as far as your what firefighting is all about comment, let me give you a history lesson. Firefighting started out as a group of individuals who, for the RIGHT AMOUNT OF MONEY, would protect your property, and if you didn't pay you didn't get the service, only through years of tradition did the balls out save it all heroism thing come about.

  • @paramedic90emt yes you place yourself first to a point. When it becomes you or the victim you got to think of yourself. If you die or get hurt in a fire no one gets out. The first rule make sure you and our crew are safe, and get out safe. There may come a point where you can not save a victim, you have to deal with it. We think of the victim first by doing this job and by going into a fire period. But in a fire think of yourself first. You die they die.

  • @kodythepimp01 That would be commands call If there is someone trapped on the fire floor and the heat, flames, is able to stand who is to say. Jack died because of the floor gave away. Im a firefighter and im taking so are you. So we both know that can happen at any moment or in any structure.

  • thank you for uploading :)

  • 1) Hold your breath.

    2) Copy all of these steps.

    3) Go to two other video.

    4) Paste it in the comments.

    If you can do all of this without breathing you're a good pot smoker

  • they have to some what control the fire so it doesn't spread to near by buildings

  • never ever would a firefighter conduct a search on his own!... this is hollywood

  • @kodythepimp01 Not to mention the guy in charge, I dont think he was a captain or anything, goes "let him breath from my mask" NOT how it happens.

  • @kodythepimp01 actually in a case like that Baltimore City allows it i believe

  • @kodythepimp01 im a firefighter.... it is a great movie showing brother hood and all... but no... NO ONE would ever go in alone. 2 in 2 out. thats the motto.

  • @longcut93 My fire dept has 87 paid 94 vol. If the first due engine gets there with 2 career staff and there is someone trapped they will go in by themselves.

  • @kodythepimp01 Hollywood to a point, we all do it. your adreline is running you jump on the truck mask up get there and hear "trapped child" or " he is still in there" sometimes we all loose sight of our training and what we need to do in order to remain safe... I have seen it and im sure you have too, on TV and in reality... Stay safe brother... FF/EMT

  • @kodythepimp01 actually when the shit hits the fan and you roll a light crew like we do with the vollys out here a search team can only be one guy, weve rolled our first due engine to a automatic alarm xmas morning with a officer driver and 3 in the back officer took search and i took the knob and the probie back be up/ hit the hydrant so you can run a one man seach team just like a one man hose team it sucks but it gets the job done DO WORK ENFD SQUAD CO.

  • @kodythepimp01 ya maybe but come on those firefighters risk there life and all u can do is bag

    on them

  • @kodythepimp01 no shit

  • @kodythepimp01 Whoa I didnt know that . .. so a firefighter CAN NEVER go alone?

  • @kodythepimp01 I work for the BCFD. We search on our own all the time. It's not Hollywood, it's reality. The book gets left at the training academy when you're fighting fire in the ghetto, dude.

  • @kodythepimp01 no its not

  • @kodythepimp01 Even tho it is Hollywood, its still very accurate compared to other firefighter movies out there.

  • @kodythepimp01 def agree to that lol

  • @kodythepimp01 agreed we always go in at a minimum of two, two or more. and conduct a primary search, and then even afterwards we do a two man secondary search. were first in, last out

  • @kodythepimp01 always together indeed

  • This is my favorite movie.

    For some reason I can't find it on my comcast on demand.

  • This is still one my favorite movies, probably the first time I actually cried in the movie theater sitting next to my dad,

  • i am a volunteer firefighter, and i have been around firefighters all my life, my dad, my grandfather, uncle, every one on my dads side of the family has been a firefighter, and when my dad died, he whent down same as jack, he went through the floor, this is one of my favorite movies, it is so close to what firefighting is like

  • I am a new Junior firefighter, and this movie made me cry

    I dont get to do much, and sometimes when I see my friends, the other firefighters, go into that building, I never know if they are coming back

  • Third Alarm

    Box Alarm 50-4

    Respond one charlie one.

    Engine 5, Engine 55, Engine 33, Truck 1, Truck 49, Medic 20, Field comm respond, Newgate Avenue and new Kirk street, Hamilton Grain, for a building fire Time out 20:30

  • Who ever disliked this dosnt know a good goddamn movie when they see one.

  • who ever dislikes this must have a problem with ther head cuz this film mite not be the newest or the most expencive but its the most inspiring story ever i love it so much im actually training to b a fire fighter cuz of it

  • Im 15, and I am proud to be an explorer... Cant wait til I am a bit older to roll with the guys!

  • @TrialzGTAS

    I remember my explorer days, they were great. Keep at it kid, it's worth every second. I finished my courses last year and after 2 years of college work, and countless visits up to the academy, I'm finally at the rank of paid firefighters. Now granted it's only been my profession for a little less than a year, let me tell you I love my life as a third generation firefighter. It takes effort, but worth it. I often watch this movie as a way of celebrating the fire service.

    Good luck!

  • I LOVE THE DISPATCHER It makes up feel like ur there at the fire :)

  • i have an Uncle who is a firefighter~ i hope nothing ever happens to him in the line of duty.

  • By far one of my favorite movies. I grew up in a fire department, my father is the cheif now. I love my extended family, the best brothers and sisters anyone could EVER ask for!

  • I can't think of a braver profession than that of a firefighter. I admire all those people who are out there every day and night doing this job and I thank them all.

  • like my father...... I SALUTE ALL FIREFIGHTERS IN THE WORLD

    

  • The last time that one guy said "I'm getting too old for this shit" they ended up loosing Dennis. Now he said it here, and they ended up loosing Jack

  • Ladder 49 and the guardian would have to be the 2 movies that ive cried the most in....

  • something i noticed is movie only about the first part isthey climbed 12 stories in full gear using scba. theres only like 20 min max air time at normal breathing much less climbing stairs like that. good movie though

  • I love the dispatcher in the beginning...

  • the sound is so low wtf man

  • great movie

  • this is movie right here is what has inspired me to become a firefighter first time i saw it a few years back now i know its what i want to do with my life after im done in the airforce i cant wait to serve with my brothers in a couple of years

  • is this a true story

  • @twinkletoez100 I dont think so

  • i love this movie this is the only movie my dad went to see in the theater and he's a fireman

  • this and backdraft ar the greatest movie ever

  • this is really a movie for firefighter so show what we do who we are and what we love ::) thumps up to al my fellow firefighting brothers outthere :) godbless us :) that we survive and do not die :) and this is the only movie i cried about even though it an everyday job so keep it goeing i wanna have a family to i love my own but i wanna have kids and grow up with the stories that i am a firefighter . ofcourse i love my girlfriend :)

  • join the military. they have firefighters

  • I cried from beginning to end at the show and home on my pc from tears of laugher to tears of sorrow ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS OF ALL TIME, MY KIDS WILL CRY TO THIS :')

  • tonight at training we did an exercise based on the movie, we were breaching walls, i busted through a chimney with a haligan bar. ot fun but i enjoy doing it

    343 you will be remembered

  • by chance... does anybody now the theme at the beginning? 0:35 - 3:10

    xo

  • @nAdDlEkAtI ye i was wondering that too...been trying to find out for months

  • Comment removed

  • lol my uncle told me back when they were filiming this you could see the fire from 95 and the dispatchers were geeting thousands off 911 calls

  • i watch some of this movie n i cryed my eyes out

  • "I was looking for a particular movie for years, maybe this is the one?"

  • This movie almost made me cry, but overall made me want to be a firefighter even more

  • nyfd. that whole building looks like its smoked out pretty good they probably would need their air on throughout the whole building. that's gotta be tough as hell either way

  • This is an Asume movie

  • where are there nomex hoods? and if they walked up 12 stories WITH there SCBA's they'd prolly be outta air b4 they got up there

  • You go that right. I know it's a movie but at least they could have made the effort for realism. I'm a proud member of the FDNY and let me tell you, our Battalion Chief would have a raging fit if we didn't wear our hoods.

  • @junior61106

    Well first off, this is a story from a couple years ago, I think from the 80's or 90's, they just decided to make a movie about it in the 2000's and also: their Baltimore,MD,their fine without the hoods

  • dude ever heard of idk using them after you get on the firefloor and if you knew anything about firefighting ud know they have 1 hour packs and 3 hour packs ff use

  • @nyfdRIP

    3 hour packs??!!!! dam if your serious thats awsome

    we only have 30's 40's and 60 minute scott packs

  • @firedude201234 I MENT 60 MIN PACKS NO ONE USES 3 HOURS

  • @nyfdRIP

    ok i was thinking "since when do they have fucking 3 hour packs!!???" lmao

  • @firedude201234 we got 2 hr packs in our Squad Co.

  • @JKSK8ERLIVE

    dam....hey must be big

  • @firedude201234 oh yeah but only for Haz Mat ops we use em and yes theyre fucking huge and weigh a shit ton but we only use them for either chemical situations or large scale strucrure fires, or Haz Mat but ive never needed to use them since im not Hazmat trained only fire fighter-paramedic and rope rescue and foam class b trained

  • @JKSK8ERLIVE We just got them like 2 weeks ago yes they a heavy as shit there bigger then the old steel tanks we use them for hazmat now

  • this is my favoritee!!!! movie ever! :)

  • in my opinion, if this ever happened, id just let the building burn down. I mean I dont wanna sound like a dick, but you just cant put this fire out.

  • dude gotta save people.....

  • it was an active building it wasnt like abandoned or anything but if it was id have to say let it burn too

  • Do you know how much damage can be done when a building like that collapses?

  • Alot. Trust me. I've seen it firsthand.

  • Yeah, I was replying to that guy who suggested to just let the building burn.

  • Oh ok. I know. That guy who suggested to just let the building burn is an idiot

  • @Altarcraft

    The entire building does not have to collapse, imagine the damage if a small part of the face came off!

  • @Altarcraft // Yes in a situation like this depending on the size of the building in question and the severity of the fire, anything from not to much to over $500,000.00 in damage could take place. In terms of how much damage will it affect other buildings and roads and houses depending on the building size a wide viriety of radiuses can be damaged.

  • @usnpilot231 there not putting it out there containing it

  • @usnpilot231 This has happened and can happen again. I am a firefighter from FDNY. I was a cadet when over 50 men lost their lives trying to save hundreds. You don't sound like a dick or are one. In a situation like this we usually let buildings burn.

  • @usnpilot231

    our job is to protect both life and property

    letting a structure burn in a controled burn is the vary last option

  • @vollyHCFDStation1

    I agree but sometimes very rarely but sometimes we have no other choice. If we cannot then we have no other option. But yes it should be the very last optiion

  • @usnpilot231 they would have but they couldnt because of all the people trapped inside

  • hey man no offense, but i dont think any of us would feel the same way if you were inside the building... :) just sayin.

  • @usnpilot231 surround and drown

  • @usnpilot231  yeah definitely surround and drown

  • @usnpilot231 Usually the goal is to make sure the fire doesn't damage any other buildings and such. Plus if it collapses so uncontrolled...ly (word?) it could take out another buidling or two. Thirdly, you need to get the people out. You aren't trying to save something that is innevitably going to end up in the dumpster, you are mitigating the shitstorm.

  • I felt like crying to but my eyes were too dry. Joaquin Phoenix is my favorite actor. He's really handsome. He's an angel. He has a face that looks like it was carved by angels.

  • Comment removed

  • yeah

  • ...no...

  • is this a true story ?

  • When you look at the talent of John Travolta in a film as Ladder 49 this movie really touches on the many brave hereo's we have of fire-fighters who risk their lives everyday thanks for posting.

  • this is my all time favorite movie!

  • love the movie

  • was the name of the opening soundtrack

  • :S i'm applying to be a firefighter soon

  • gratz, good luck

  • Best of luck to you. I recently became a junior firefighter, just got my gear on Monday. Feels like a part of my life has been accomplished. I hope you make it, stay safe.

  • whoa congrats :) i'm pretty nervous about it. especially since im a chick. i've heard rumors about girls being treated differently

  • All I can say is, don't take their bullshit, and stand up against it.

    The inevitable is becoming the firehouse bitch for a bit of time, but the satisfaction of it will wear out for them, and you'll just be a normal member then. I'm still the bitch though. :(

    Haha.

  • lol at least there will be a bunch of sweaty fire men. that will make up for their idiocy.

  • sorry that was me. :S

  • Haha, is that why you want to do it?

    It'll pay off then ;)

  • lol its just a perk. it should be fun

  • Trust me, it will be.

  • besides BlackHawk down this is my favorite movie,and the only movie i cried watching

  • Hmm wow. I didn't figure anyone else would have the same choice in two favorite movies.

    I loved both of them, and I teared up a bit at the end.

  • this is one of the only movies i have ever cried to...i love my life being a firefighter...i also love my family....one day i hope to have a family of my own....if i happen to die in the Line of Duty...i want to be driven to my cemetary on a firetruck...God Speed to all my fellow firefighter brothers and sisters

  • Hunterboy46 I pray that you that never happens. Stay low and stay safe brother.

    Kris Merchant

    FF/EMT Florosa FD

  • Same to you man. Stay safe. Its always good to know that not everyone in this world is a jackass and rags on everyone that makes a good comment total thumbs up to you

  • @hunterboy46 God Speed back to you my brother. Greetings from the boys and girls here at Hampton Illinois Fire Dept!

  • @weareallanimals78 greetings from the Evergreen Park Illinois Fire Rescue Division TK 44, Eng 50 THE UPTOWN BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @hunterboy46 your a wacker if you cry to a fire fighter movie. Your probably some junior bitch boy.

  • @HalfEatenCookie1793 Hey, there's no need for that. watch the whole movie its sad to think this happen everyday. I'm a firefighter but volunteer. Are you a firefighter? No, your the person thats gonna be stuck inside yelling for us to come save you. that's when you'll understand. I've said enough. I hope everybpdy reads this and knows what I'm trying to say

  • @LMD413 I actually am a volunteer as well. You act like your being this vigilante by posting something against me but your not. Good try though!

  • @LMD413 yes sir

  • @hunterboy46 Amen.  Kudos alone do not express my gratitude to you men and women who put your lives at risk to save other people.

  • @hunterboy46 i'm a firefighter too, stay save brother...

  • @hunterboy46 hi im a highschool student wanting to be a firefighter can you help me out on telling me what schooling i need?? and what els i need to be a FF

  • @ACDCman1727 well to start off you dont 100% need schooling but to get a better chance at getting on a full time FD its better that you have fire science or fire investigation as a major or both. Most colleges will have the courses needed to get those degrees IE firefighter 1 and 2 HazMat Ops building construction etc. It also helps if you have a minimum of EMT B but work ur way up to paramedic. it may take time but in the end its worth it.

  • @hunterboy46 Another movie you might cry to is Blood Diamond

  • I live in balitmore maryland
