I’d be very careful using the Grinch in the title card. The copyright owners are extremely litigious this time of year even against small creators and businesses sadly.
Just curious How many members did this department get rid of, who were perfectly healthy and fit for the job because they didn't want to risk dying needlessly of heart problems from the clot shot???
This just reminds me of one Saturday morning in my small town where the department had to respond to a house fire down the street, after being in the bar all of the night before They got it out, but.....😂
Thanks, yes it was a great deal of pre-production and though it was stated as 5 days (that line was recorded on day 1) we did have a half day for some pick-ups but don't tell anyone!
@@captivatecinema If you don't mind me asking (and perhaps this is better for a private email), but I'm very curious what the budget was for the production. No worries if you'd rather keep that private!
@@Josh-wu7kc The budget was in the 10K area. We deferred our rates considerably for this production as we are proud to be involved in important messaging. The NRFC also collaborated with 11 of the 12 regional districts for funding.
I'm here from Algeria and just getting more experiences in this field and get inspired by your video i hope i got the chance to join you and work with you guys
@@Miniscapes515yup...that moral turpitude is a real catch 22, especial for the Fire Camp returning citizens who for DECADES have fought wildfires in California. People have no clue what happens when it comes to you or them. People can actually be trained and be working in actual fires, saving property, saving lives potentially...and still be judged not good enough. People have no idea that even if you got that expunged that doesn't mean to have to accept your application for consideration. I'M AN INTERNATIONAL prisoner and human rights advocate for 38 years. I deal with every level of the system from my juveniles TO my people on Death Row. I also come from a FD family... MY Popo when he was alive was for most of his life a volunteer firefighter in NYS, but way downstate from Niagra Falls! WE ARE absolutely as far away from there as possible! 😂 #BROOKLYNBornBaby #LONGISLANDRaised #EMFDEngineCompany2 #TheHomeOfTheBoys
11 of the 12 municipalities that required volunteers opted in to finance this project. Our team discounted costs considerably for the opportunity to participate and spread the message.
They are still getting paid right? Because if they are not this is a very convenient way for Government to wiggle out of responsibilities riding on the backs of the good people.
This ad has so many cuts. Its about .75/sec 16 cuts from 0-20 sec 18 from 20-40 sec 15 from 40-60 sec 16 from 60-80 sec 18 from 80-100 sec Point being, there are a crap ton of edits and I get that it's an "Action Add" but damg. Take a look at this gem, watch his mouth. 1:46-1:49.
Your videos are incredibly eye-catching. They're colorful, each shot is very well set up, everything is well-planned and perfectly executed. I look forward to seeing more of your work!
As a former career Firefighter, current volunteer Fire Chief, Paramedic and Fire Academy Instructor, this one one of the best, if not the best recruitment video I've seen yet. Well done.
It's true , recruitment and retention are huge challenges for the vollunteer fire departments. And with nfpa requirements it is a much larger commitment than the old days.
@@engineco.1494 Being in a volunteer department for 26 years i see it across my county and the neighboring ones also. Some areas are blessed. One person said I was being nihilistic. I don't think so, just stating what i see. To be honest, I had to research the word.
Its not nihilistic at all, in fact is very true. Volunteer here also, and I've seen first hand how difficult it is to get new people in. While volunteerism in the fire service is certainly a dying breed, even paid departments have a hard time with retention. Unfortunately it's hard to find people nowadays who are willing to give up their time to their community. Not like it was 30 some odd years ago.
@@robertmahoney5523 That isn't specific to fire fighting. This is a global phenomenon; people are looking for things that put food on their tables long enough to eat it.
Been thinking a lot about recruitment lately and I wonder if people will be scared off if they don't think they can do everything or are as fit and strong as they imagine a professional firefighter is (many don't now actual FFs). I would be interested to hear how successful this is.
Like anything individually or in a team environment we have our strengths and weaknesses that we play to our advantage. Ontario requires nfpa certification so many departments offer the corruiculum as well as testing. The education alone is worth thousands.
@@engineco.1494 My department will send people to any training put on by the state fire academy at our expense. The biggest complaint from existing volunteers is there isn't enough training, but almost none of them take the county up on this. Its... interesting.
@@seanmahoney2671 yes we have the same problem as well. My department will pay us to go the provincial fire college but most don't enroll in any courses. I myself take full advantage of the training and courses offered. Iron sharpens iron.
First off stop calling paid, unionized firefighters “professional”! They do not have a regulating body known as a “college” overseeing their “profession”! NFPA standards are required of ALL fire departments in Ontario. All must meet those requirements not just the paid, unionized firefighters.
