Do what John Wayne did in that movie. If there's a fire nearby set off a massive explosion so it sucks away all the oxygen. Also don't bang your coworkers
@@shyowl3453 I honestly don't think it does, I think this is just one of Station 19's season 1 mishaps, cause i've done some searching and can't see any pages talking about the correlation, so maybe its a mistake!
@@shyowl3453 color of the fire has to do with. The heat of the fire, blue flame is hotter. Other colors like green, purple and what not have to do woth chemicals present that are burning, its a reaction i believe that causes the different flame.
Well, technically, if a fire is burning blue it’s already got plenty of oxygen. That said, this blue fire is magic, so it may burn backwards and really need extra oxygen to put out.
I'm no firefighter, but, I've always loved when one guy decides to do some unnecessarily risky stuff to make the scene more tense while breaking every protocol/rule in the book... and then only gets a "Woah Jim, that was close, don't do that ever again" from the captain. When in reality, anything even close to that would have way more serious consequences
Probably the most unrealistic thing you commonly see in the media. In healthcare and I'm sure it's the same for first responders, everything you do basically falls under "scope of practice". In other words you're trained to do specific tasks and (in theory) in the various ways to do them if applicable. Anything else is outside your scope and even if you know how to you still can't. mostly because it's your employer that will be paying for the majority of damages after the lawsuit. That said, the scope of practice does have a little gray area to work with. For example dissertation is outside the scope of practice for scrub techs however it's quite common for them to act as the assist to the surgeon. If told to buy the surgeon, maybe they can't free up a hand right then, the scrub tech can pick up the bovie and dissect the tissue they're instructed to. In such cases you're still good because the responsible now falls on the surgeon (and they have to be pretty comfortable with you to do anything) so it's considered out of scope but under supervision. This little exception is there so someone can give assistance in a pinch without being penalized for it and works of the assumption that while not trained, they have enough exposure and experience to reasonably assist. For example an experienced scrub tech has assisted with enough appendix removals They could probably take one out by themselves, NEVER happen of course, but if things get a little tense the surgeon may ask them to do some thing because they know the scrub has watched them do thousands of times.
I'd love to see that film. 5 minutes in they're being sacked for completely disregarding safe working protocols and then spiral into becoming a security guard who's always armed with a fire exstinguisher trying to recapture his old glory.
@@relaxoirl5920 after 6 years in surgery I can honestly say A. There's a lot that can be done to a corpse it just never complains and B. One thing I can say for sure is stupid people have a gift for surviving damn near anything. I know this and I'm still surprised all the time by it. Nothing can out do it's like stupidity.
@@mikylak7983 I get what you say and it always goes nobody is dead until the doctor tells you otherwise but in that shows when you see someone run into a fire without most of the protective gear or go diving in pool of what ever that Magic stuff was that only takes your breath away when the camera is not looking, I personally cant help but think wow theyre so dead.
I love how they're like, "You know that job where you rescue people and end up having to walk into what looks like the gates of hell opening on earth, along with dealing with all sorts of potential explosions and, you know, fire. Yeah that's boring, so let's just do some magical blue sticky fire after dragging the guy with the powderized spine around a little."
The funny thing is, the sticky unextingusable fire actually exists. White Phosphorus was used during WWII in artillery shells because it could not be extinguished and was hyper flammable. Once read an account from a British soldier operating in southern Italy in '43. Some poor officer took a massive load of flaming white prosperous to the body, and literally begged his soldiers not to touch him as they would also burn.
@@historymarshal2704 Theoretically you can put out white phosphorus. White Phosphorus combusts as soon as it makes contact with oxygen. In a controlled environment all you have to do is cut off the phosphorus from it's oxygen supply, however in combat and fluid scenarios it is obviously far harder to do that but it isn't impossible. Water should do the trick because it removes all oxygen, but as soon as the phosphorus dries it will light up again so get as far away from it as possible.
@@historymarshal2704 there are several "sticky" chemical substances that are not extinguishable due to them not burning but basically combusting in an exothermic reaction usually while releasing oxygen to further burn with that that said this shit is usually not stored on mass quantity without massive security system and specially trained personal directly on the plant side
@@sharonshort9140 Producer's Note: fiery Gates of Hell too expensive, let's come at this from another angle. I'm thinking, blue sticky fire that can't be put out for . . . mmm that's for the writers to figure out. Oh yeah don't forget the oxygen and back board so people remember it's a medical show too.
I was a volunteer firefighter for a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. The VERY first thing they taught us was ‘don’t try to be a hero and become a victim, you just become more work at that point’ So yeah… jumping in the pool of mystery smoke seems like a great way to have them have to fish your body outta the pool when they’re done dealing with an entire party’s worth of victims. 🙄
The spinal thing really hits close to home. When I was sixteen I got hit by a car. Broke my second neck vertibra (dens) into three pieces. The woman who drove the car however reacted extremely quickly and sharply and talked my conscious but delusinal self into not standing up. If i had stood up it would have ripped my spine apart, but I kept lying. The voluntary firefoghters from my village where the first to arrive and they got me stiffneck. Then they flew my to the hospital in Kassel where they stapled my spine back together. Incredible luck, if the woman who hid me had panicked or droven away or did not know the threat of spinal injuries then I would be compelety paralysed.
@@theNewBee They got a whole lotta weird stuff that are used in specialist cases. I cracked my head on the ground after falling out the car as a kid, but when we got to the hospital, they used Glue to seal the cut (was pretty surface level cut, just looked real bleedy cuz head has a lot of blood in it. Was obviously specialist medical glue. But I always imagine they got a literal glue stick out of a pencil case and just rubbed that on my head
@@theNewBee It's not like an office stapler or something like that, it just works on similar principles of a metal bracket that's inserted into two things to connect them
“It’s like pouring water into your hands and then bringing it to your cup” I love this analogy it’s perfect! And it matches well with the 6 matching cups piece!!
Didn't you know, all emergency workers are immunised against all known and some unknown toxins and other hazards on the planet. All part of the training
Well yeah, 10th level first responders are immune to poison and disease, says so right in the Player's Handbook. It's 4e and a prestige class though, so good luck figuring out _which_ Player's Handbook.
My family loves these shows. Im not allowed to watch them because I call them out on everything. They tell me its just tv. If you're going to do it, at least do it right.
OMG, same here! I get so mad watching them and they won't let me near the TV when they're on. They really don't understand that it's like watching "The Naked Gun" to us. The thing that really pisses me off is that the real life stuff is sooooo much cooler than this made up bullshit.
it's fun to call out tv shows. I remember an ER episode where the ambulance pulls up and both medics are in the front seat and tell the docs their is a cardiac arrest in the back.
I have seen a fire station with matching glasses. They had just finished building a new station with new everything apart from actual equipment and was showing it off before they moved out of the old one. But a few months later when I went up with a youth group the glasses where mostly the ones acquired from the local pub
The “misshaping ceramic cup from the 80s that nobody wants to use but somebody ends up having to use because there’s no cup left" killed me 🤣 That is so true!
As a practicing Warlock, I will confirm that blue fire is indeed hotter than red fire. It also does not stamp out well. The best solution is a mixture of graveyard earth and salt, scattered liberally through the flames. That will usually quiet the restless spirits that animate the infernal aggressor. Now, green fire, that's something else.
Before I became a ff/emt, I liked these shows. Once I got my cert and started doing it, I cannot watch them anymore. I lack the strength and fortitude to suspend my knowledge of just how wrong the shows get it.
If you are single, it's probably a first date question. "UM do you watch FF shows? Because if you do we are most likely going to be in a lot of arguments." 😎
Only show of the same genre/theme that I've seen people actually in the profession enjoy/tolerate was ER and Third Watch. Probably helps that the show writers worked as EMTs/ER staff for years prior to writing
Me: Googles Fire tetrahedron, says “Duh” out loud having known Fuel Oxygen Heat already. Also Me, a complete layman in terms of fire control: Fuck I know more about fire than the writers of a fire fighter show lol
Only reason I had to Google it is that I'd always only ever heard of the "Fire Triangle" and wanted to know what the 4th option they added to the mix was XD
"Are Firefighter shows realistic?" Well, depends on which ones you watch. Chicago Fire is pretty good if a bit overdramatized, and Emergency! is _very_ accurate to how things were done in its time. Of course some of them aren't quite so- "Station 19 and 9-1-1 Lonestar review!" ...Ah, so it's gonna be one of these. I'll grab some popcorn!
I'd love to see a talk show with the "𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴" of Station 19 and 9-1-1 Lonestar being told that this guy, Jason Patton, is also there and asking them some technical questions about their episodes!😱
2:50 idk about career fds but I’m a volunteer firefighter and I know that on every truck we have a magical device called a fan which would work much more than using your arms
My favorite part is how everyone assesses a patient and its bouncing rapid-fire from person to person. person 1: "What's his status?" person 2: "extremities looks fine" person 3: "Pulse is weak, but present" person 4: "Start resuscitation" person 5: "I'll get the stretcher"
Gotta love the "Quick! Move his spine around!" approach to rescuing people with potential spinal injuries that's seen in... well almost every film where a potential spine injury is depicted ever going all the way back to the beginning of movies. It's almost as good as when they immobilize the spine of someone who definitely has no chance of having a spinal injury at all.
The same applies to, in no particular order: - Historical Costuming: plenty of historical set shows where they don't require/allow the costumers to research anything or teach actors how to put that style of clothing on (upside down corset anyone?? Also so many shows doing things like: Tightlacing under a dress with an empire waist where you would not even notice; "ye old ugg boots" instead of historical-styled footwear;, armor almost never having cloth or cushioning layers under it despite that being standard in pretty much EVERY culture that ever invented armor past cloth armor; armor with "boobplate" and inconvenient sharp bits that would clearly injure the wearers, or made of metal in places where it would have been rare and out if leather when it would have been really impractical, etc... ). - almost any forensic heavy crime show (fingerprinting that's not even referenced as having "point matches" or is never smudged too much to be useful or is taken off things it couldn't be; blacklights detecting "bodily fluids", leaving out the possibility or mention of cleaning products that could produce the same reaction under blacklight; DNA basically being magic, able to be pulled from goddamn anything and processed in like, a day or two, and absolutely never is there the real life MASSIVE BACKLOG many areas have for things like rape kits...etc etc) - almost any show featuring beat cops, profilers, and detectives: gosh, how many times has Stabler on law and order SVU assaulted a person IN THE INTERROGATION ROOM, and somehow still is on the force and in the field?? Also there is SO much assumption that cops always accurately judge who is guilty practically right off the bat, they almost never have unsolved cases or mistaken suspects unless it's a Big Dramatic Plot Twist Element, "body language experts" are always correct, and no profiler or cop commonly suspects people only to find out they were like, just avoiding eye contact because they're autistic or have an anxiety disorder or from a culture with different standards of etiquette on that, etc etc - ANY show with lawyers and legal cases: almost everything criminal goes to trial (even when in reality the vast majority of cases get either dropped or plead guilty on before it does), things that should be in criminal court get inexplicably put in a civil court via lawsuit, civil suits regularly get argued as if they were criminal cases, questions get SURPRISE ASKED on the stand every time despite the fact there should have been a deposition process and most of the questions shouldn't be new to anybody, people regularly have Objections that make no sense but then fail to object when it would make sense,and oh yes, people wander into spots in the room where irl, as the guy from the Legal Eagle channel puts it, "THE BAILIFF WILL TACKLE YOU!". also trials that would actually take weeks, months, even years to get a settlement or a verdict in, instead happen in what feels like a couple of weeks, as if the court system isn't typically hugely backlogged and the whole process isn't, you know, lengthy and bureaucratic. That's just off the top of my head. Literally, it happens with anything that is largely written by people who have never done training or research in the field theyre writing about and don't do it while the show is in production either. Which... there are exceptions - I've heard great things about the realism in Leverage, for instance, and some historical things aren't completely off base with everything, but sadly, not every, dare I say hardly any,, show is Leverage level on their dedication to research these days. I assume it's partly to do with the rush rush rush these shows are on to produce episodes, but less charitably, it's gotta be at least partly laziness - if not necessarily on the part of the writers, then on someone higher up in the production food chain who sees a script that should be fact checked heavily but says "eh, if it's entertaining it doesn't matter, that would be time and effort that we'd have to pay for when we could literally just film it next week". Sigh.
It’s condensed water vapor, basically a cloud. Liquid nitrogen cools the air when it boils, creating a cloud. For some idiotic reason, these characters had liquid nitrogen around a pool when dry ice does the same thing, is way cheaper, and makes the air pungent when there’s too much so you leave.
What like fully involved, flames out the windows enter no BA don inside quick primary ankle high flames at the side of the room only, yep every structure is like that. Not.
I once asked a firefighter what he thought about "Rescue Me". He laughed and said, "What they do at the fire could get them killed and what they do at the station could get them fired." These videos are hilarious! Keep 'em coming! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just found your channel and it's the funniest thing I've ever seen! Love your type of humour! Thank you for sharing it with us! Keep up the good work!!
my wife watches these shows but has learned to watch it in another room. it's hard not to pick them apart. i haven't seen one thing that is remotely close to what we do.
Great video, and can't wait to see more. Plus tell me why I can see Jason doing something like that @2:58 in the pool. I bet the crew that works with Jason are dying of laughter each shift.
That first one about the cups is so accurate. The Rescue Squad I am with has a crazy different amount of cups and shit in our kitchen, and I laughed my ass off when you mentioned the cups 🤣
This is the first video I’ve seen by him!! I love it!!! I’m going to now go and stalk his account. Station 19 is one of my favorite shows and seeing this makes me laugh. Thanks for making this, I was having such a bad day today
I love how these firefighter shows always have their firefighters use portable extinguishers instead of their hose in situations where the fire has spread. Like they try to have any excuse not to use their hoses.
I've watched about a minute to much of that show, but now, I live it through you! Brilliant!! Is the book or mini series coming any time soon? Just Brilliant! forget about the matching cups, a glass water pitcher!? We have plastic, glass breaks when you jump up. And colors from every generation. Stay safe!
As a matter of fact, when the jaws of life were invented, the company gave a set to the show to promote them. The show declined to use them because no real fire departments had them, so the company had to give some additional units to departments nearby in order to get them used on the show.
Something else to think about is that the dispatcher was an actual dispatcher for LA County. Also 51s captain in the first season was an actual captain and Mike Stoner was an actual LA County fireman too. The county wouldn't let them have an actor operate the engine because it was country property so they brought in an actual employee from the department.
Emergency was a MAJOR factor in getting Paramedics and fire based EMS started in the rest of the country. Kevin Tighe and Randolph Mantooth are the most influential firefighter/paramedics that weren't firefighter/paramedics EVER. (Although they pretty much went through all the training)
Yay digging out "old" Videos. I love how in those Series, they walk around with the full Group. Dont know how it works in the US. But on the Sites where i went in Switzerland, everybody gets a Task. Only the "EL" (Einsatzleiter /Operations Manager) and one or two other go to assess the Situation. And everyone that has nothing to do, STAYS at the Gathering Point TILL he/she gets a Task. But no... just let everyone meet up, directly at the site of accident and then everyone knows magically "What to do"... Like no Coordination from any Leading Officer is needed. Scripts are so handy Tools. Wish we had them in RL. :D
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣thank you soooooouch for doing station 19!!! Omg it was everything I’d hoped it would be and more...don’t you quit making these videos!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The apparatus, and the freelancer in the pool, were using plot armor. That's how they didn't get destroyed. Btw, did anyone else notice that lovely centerpiece on the table?
Did anyone apart from me think the actress who played the girl seen at 2:05 was Mia from the TV Series Emergence? (And the answer is she wasn't) (and if it helps anyone it was S1E3 of Station 19.
I assume they poured it in the water. Waste of liquid nitrogen. Dry ice is cheaper, easier to get, does the same cloud effect, and makes the air pungent so you get a feeling you’d rather breathe somewhere else.
I like these shows not bc they are realistic (they arent) but bc they arent the clichè love story i have seen on my local tv for the last 10 years (same applies to crime/mafia films they have been the same for the last 10 years)
New subscriber alert! I have no idea how your channels were recommended to me, but I am SO happy ❤❤❤❤.I absolutely LOVE you and your humor . . . when you pointed out the 6 matching glasses on TV vs reality . . .😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In every station I’ve been to and seen the kitchen there’s the cup cabinet. A wooden space over a counter or sink were there are a random assortment of cups and mugs. There will be some mugs most likely 2 matching ones like you said and some decorated mugs, with some team logos or maybe events on them. And of course there’s that old dusty one in the back that looks like Reagan took a sip of water for his dry throat before his speech. And then there’s the regular cups. Mostly plastic and decorated with logos. They range in capacity from 4oz all the way up to near 16oz. They’re going to be in different colors and styles but there basically like wine glasses to any member of the department when dinner time come around. Also there might be 1 or 2 glass cups like they showed in the video.
We ALL know that " realistic" fire shows are SO true right?! their legit just in their own force field nothing EVER happens to them yeah we get hurt a lot
How the heck is she supposed to have pulledl five unconscious people out of a pool full of asphyxiant without also passing out? She's either undead or a robot.
They don’t have to get ridiculous to keep people watching. Like y’all just mentioned Rescue Me was great! But you have to be intelligent to make a really good show. 911 and Chicago Fire is cheap chicken feed
