  • @markthebusman Buddy, what difference does it make if he is full time or not. 80% of firefighters are volunteers, and we do a damn good job. Hell, I've worked with paid guys on the same fire. We both share the same responsibilities and risks, only difference is we do it for FREE. Yes this man made a mistake, we all have. Also remember this is 30 years ago. The industry has changed alot since. I hope to be a paid FF one day, but I will continue to volunteer, hell, even the career FF's need heros.

  • wear your ppe

  • what about firefighters who go into burning buildings with the SCBA masks off....

  • Portland Fire Dept. 1980 That's the Engineer (driver/operator) of the Ladder Truck seen on fire. He lived. And he learned. 15 years later at a fire training seminar, this video played to hundreds of firefighters in attendance. The instructor asked the audience members for their reactions. The responses were much as are posted here. The speaker then announced: "Well I'm the idiot it that video and I'm here to teach you everything I learned".

    And it was much more than just PPE and SCBA.

  • Even with our proper PPE we still aren't invincible. Should never let your guard down, not even for one second.

  • DerdaDer.....

  • the fire WAS predictable, when u vent unburnt gases into an oxygen supply you will get a flash occur, Triangle of fire fuel/ heat/O2, and where was the ground operator who could of easily swung the ladder to clean air(or dont u guys think of that also)

  • What on earth was this man thinking.........

    Firefighters are no superman like the comic.

    Wear your protective clothing at all times and remember guys....expect the unexpected...all the time. As you can see he was totally surprised by the unpredictable fire.

    Be save outthere
