im a student firefighter in owensboro ky. i just want to say, i cant wait to serve the community. im proud to uphold my education and training. ill live by the fire code and uphold the standards set before me by the NFSTA. just got to remember its not for everyone. its not a job, its not an occupation, its a calling
I'm not at all a firefighter or going to be one, but everyone who IS, you are A HERO! Thank You for being brave enough to fight against my worst fear.
@FireFighterEMT034 No, I didn't. That was a separate comment, but that is true. At least an IAFF member could claim partial ownership of the copy wright by being a member of the organization that does own it. Iffy, but at least arguable.
Awesome video, gives the public a good idea of the dangers we are in every time the bell trips and we go out the door not knowing if we will ever come back or in what condition we will return in.

Hey Douche bag, Why did you cut out the IAFF from the video. We made it, give credit since we own the copywrite. Can't you accept that you are a volly and not a member of the only Union for Professional firefighters in North America?
Wow Jim very professional of you! If you would be so kind, what position do you hold in the IAFF ? Just want to make sure Local 980 does not vote for you if you run for anything with that attitude. I did not alter the video....I found it and dont even remember where.
@firecrkr2001 good vid. i had used this song for one of my videos i found the song on a firefighter pipes and drums mix with the speech in the background i will try to find you the artist if you would like.
@jmstevens2 You just a ass who Thinks there better than the volunteers. Volunteer are trained just like the paid fire fighter and we don't have union and really could less about them.
@jmstevens2 In Finland, career people go through 1,5 years of boarding school in the National Fire Academy. That is eight hours a day for nearly two years. I'm pretty sure you in turn pale when comparing to them.
Or perhaps you should go and take a look at the volunteers in Prince George's County Fire Dept? How about go googling Bladensburg Fire or Kentland 33 Fire? These "inferior" volunteers run more fire than you can count.
@jtlne93 No, Not so in my State. You are required to take and pass a course of TRAINING meeting NFPA 1001.
Your statement is ridiculous. Typical Squirrel talk. There is no reason to romanticize the job. It is dangerous, it is needed and if you are distracted by how big a man you are and how much a hero you are you will miss something and become what you hope for. A Martyr. It is a job, an important one, but a job. If you cannot focus on the task at hand, you will be a statistic.
This is hands down the best damn video on youtube. When ever I am tired of going over compatments or just flat out feeling exhausted...I watch this video. I hope 20 years from now I can watch this video and listen to the lyrics, "20 years now, where they'd go. 20 years I don't know. I sit and wonder sometime where they gone. Sometimes late at night, when I am bathed in the FIRELIGHTthe moon comes calling a ghostly white, and I recall. Like a rock, standin arrow straight."
Loved it. Got alot of goosebumbs from watchign this! I've always heard, you have to be born a firefighter. I've seen this proven as i watched men lock up at the door and others pushing him to the side to do their job. I know i've been born into this and I hope that my experiance will benefit someone one day
This is an old IAFF video for professional firefighters. I've looked for this tape for a long time and never found it. Good to see it again. Maybe just me but it shows the fire service before it was so diluted and commercialized. Do you have the whole thing?
great video.best i have ever seen..great tribute to all ages of firefighters

@FireFighterEMT034 It is called copy write violation. Federal crime. Of course there would be no you tube without copy write violations.

Try Copyright, not Copy Write
You lose all standing with a simple error like that
