I am a 12 year veteran firefighter/paramedic with Los Angeles City Fire. This videos was awesome. Way to represent our profession, brothers. Thanks....keep up the great work and stay safe, brothers.
i'm planning on becoming a firefighter ... but my question is how do the job days and free days work per week ? nd are there any vacations, if so how are they passed out ?
Nothing but love for firefighters. True heroes that probably dont get enough recognition and the pay they deserve. Thank you to all firefighters out there.
I recently enrolled in my classes to become a Firefighter. I absolutely love what you guys do and love seeing the smiles on peoples faces whether its to say hi or if you are saving their lives. I cant wait to become a Firefighter and make a positive impact on peoples lives, and most importantly have my son look up to me as his hero! God bless you guys thank you for your hard work!
I'm a firefighter in PA and I thought that this is a great documentary and I even showed it to the new recruits coming into the station that's for the great video !
I was looking for a day in the life of a firefighter book for my 4 years old son homework, we couldn't find one that he like so we starting looking on RU-vid until he saw your video and he love it. Thanks for sharing it.
To clear things up, you do not have oxygen in your scba tank. It's compressed air. Oxygen is highly flammable and would not be a good idea to run in a burning building with a bomb strapped to your back. Other than that, great video.
Thanks to all the firefighters and thanks for fighting your lifes to save us and keeping us safe.this video showed me alot and teached me so much. Lots of love to you all.
pretty straight forward video. Although, it should be noted that the SCBA cylinders do NOT contain just oxygen. it is compressed ambient air. o2 level is the same as normal air (19-20%).
Being a 15 year veteran of the fire service, this is one of the best videos i've seen on life in the fire service. Keep up the great work, brothers in Phoenix
I like how when he was explaining PPE he was explaining it like he would to children xD he did great, i just thought that was funny. I just recently got on with the department where I live. Hands down the best decision I've ever made in my entire life. My second family :)
awesome man, just submitted my application, so we'll see, for the mean time, ill be taking some college classes and training for the CPAT, if you dont mind me asking, how did you train for it ?
ViscaElBarca Hey man sorry, I just got back into town yesterday. Was in monterey county working the sobranes fire on a strike team, incredible experience.. Anyway, for the CPAT if you do some searching around online you can find some good guides on preparing for the CPAT. I'd recommend doing that and finding one that's right for you.
My son missed his field trip to the fire house so we looked this up to complete his homework assignment. He is 5 years old in Kinder. This was a great video, moved fast, and showed many points of interest. Thank you!
I'm from Liverpool in the UK but I'd just like to say thank you for the brilliant work you all do under extreme conditions, The UK fire department is getting dragged through the mud currently by this government who know nothing in the field of fire fighting and I feel so sad that the people at the top are treating them like dirt even though this government have slashed our fire service to the bone. I'm certainly no fireman I haven't got the balls big enough to do it but respect to you all.
most interesting Video :) Im from Germany...we have 9 mens on 1 truck...(HLF 20/16) and many over vehicles...good luck and best regards from Germany...:D
For me, as a firefighter. i really found this video interesting, because as first responders, we suppose to know how to act quickly to save someone's life in a fire or a car accident.
Nice video and very informative, especially allowing us to see the training involved. I'll never forget seeing a small trailer on fire and I stopped to see the fire department work the fire. From a distance that smoke was too much and you could feel the heat as well. You could say it gave me an experience as to what that equipment we see fire fighters in is really for. I'm sure the kids got a kick out of this.
ive always been fascinated by wanting to be a firefighter my moms uncle Wallie was a fire Captain he past away before i was born but thats all he ever wanted to be, and my cousin which i didn't know at the time has the same full name as me was one also!! much respect to them and every other man or woman that is a firemen!!
Excellent video, I like how it is easy for a layman to understand all the details of the equipment, the only thing I would suggest is being careful when referring to your air tank as Oxygen. Otherwise an excellent video.
my nephew wants to be fireman, he's 5 years old now, and collecting many fireman's cars and questioning me all stuff in that car 😀 thanks for the video
It is in fact for Ladder Tender 9. LTs are used as a supplemental vehicle to the main ladder truck. So if they receive a call that will not be needing the large ladder truck's capabilities than they will take the LT. Usually the choice is either automatically dispatched from the Alarm Room or is up to the Captain's discretion. The main purpose of the LT is cost savings by reducing wear and tear on the ladder. An LT is a fraction of the cost of the ladder. The LT carries identical equipment as the ladder with the obvious exception of the 115' aerial. But I can say that they most always prefer to roll the big truck haha! Hope that helps.
It's a song by a band named Iwo Jima. They were fellow students, and as far as I know they haven't released any albums or made their music available for purchase, but I'll look into it because a few people have asked about it now. I'll let you know what I find.
