Thats Bullshit you must be a paid one, the only difference between career and volunteer is paychecks. We do it because we LOVE it and LOVE helping our fellow neighbors. WE did it 24/7! not 24 hours at a time. WE dont need a paycheck to risk our lives, we do it for the PRIDE!

This chief is anything but an asshole. He realized that more would die trying to save their brothers. Yes, the men hated them at the time, but they later thanked him. We study this in every firefighting and command class. I am sure it was the hardest thing the chief ever did, but it took more from him to say no more than it did to let more run in. I am sure the men who died are happy to know that their chief stood in front of the entrance so no more of THEIR BROTHERS would die.

If the broke the window after the gases reached flashpoint it would have caused a flashover. Once flashpoint is reached all it takes is oxygen, which is introduced when a window is broken.

@JLHOWARD40 Thanks!

If they hadn't broken the window for ventilation the flashover never would have occurred... RIP

Some of these people need to listen to the 7 hrs of tape... it's available. Listen and be humbled. There is a lot to learn and if you dispatch also there is A LOT to learn. When you hear a dieing firefighter say "Tell my wife, I love you" you'd shut up about whether you get a paycheck or not. And if your brother passes DOING the job... you'd shut up too. God Bless these men, their brothers, their families and God bless the IC and other officers in command of this scene who must live with this

There is no diffrence. It all comes from the heart and soul. There are more vols than career firefighters..Where is the brotherhood/sisterhood. I've been a firefighter for 9 years in a career department I don't get it. we all have families we are all human why the big divide. to me the issue is that we as firefighter have to do better to make sure this don't happen again. lets be proactive..check out my channel.

be safe out there brave men and women.

The negativity of paid versus volunteer has got to stop. There are people that like to stroke their egos on BOTH sides. The main thing that should be discussed is what real lessons have we learned from this tragedy. Spend more time with your family, pick your battles wisely, enjoy life because you never know. If you insist on having a negative attitude, maybe this profession is not for you, paid or volunteer.

My boyfriend is a firefighter for a volunteer dept. and despite if you are paid or not, you do it b.c you love the rush and the peace of mind that you are giving back to your community. For those of you who have commented on this that have said negative things about this herioc 9 men who lost their lives in the line of duty, these are your fellow brothers, your FAMILY. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Paid or volunteer, you all do the same, so have respect for those lives lost.
