0:45 It's cool to see how much she appreciates FF's. She looks nervous, scared, impressed, excited & a little turned on by everything going on. Great video & work.
firefighters never ceases to amaze me. fire is essentially the one thing on Earth every living creature runs from and fast, but these folks run into it faster than most run away from it. simply the most heroic emergency responders I've ever seen.
Wonder if they talked to her about the fact about 1 out of 4 firefighters will be diagnosed with cancer in Boston. The statistics are staggering among busy departments. The risk of fire or smoke as being the cause of death is dwarfed these days by firefighter cancer due to constant exposures to the chemicals in modern "smoke".
That’s why we wear SCBA’s dude. Before you mention smoke again, know the many different types and what they mean what will happen after excetra excetra. Then you can talk. Yes black smoke is your modern day combustibles. But also keep in mind if the smoke is burbulent or not. That also dictates
Its a problem for all firefighters, but it's even worse for departments with members that refuse to wear and use their gear properly. Early in my career we always geared down once the fire was knocked down, too soon. I remember for a few days after the fire my skin and hair smelling like smoke no matter how much I cleaned up, so it definitely was absorbed into my pores. Car fires have horrible toxic smoke, and I admit I still don't mask up at all of those. Change is tough.
Ashley Erickson yeah at my firehouse we're fortunate to have a lot of young guys like myself, a gym, and areas to do drills but our neighboring departments not so much
Mask not on and unplugged and gloves casually off while entering/inside an active structural fire? Lots of respect to these men who have a hundred times more callouts than I do, but still I can't help but notice those small things.
Cooking in my firehouse is few and far between. Kind of hard to make a good meal when you are rolling out the door 16-20 times in 24 hours. Throw in training, and maintenance, meals have become a dash for something quick.
You know I usually take a window out from the inside without my gloves on too. You know your chances of getting cancer are less if you actually hook your air pack up. Just saying.
Matthew Foster that kind of ancient mindset is the reason why firefighters continue to get cancer. Most of the research out there is from members of the fire service. This is not a Dr vs FF battle. This is about educating FFs on how to reduce there risk of cancer and have long healthy lives.
Firefighters are running into burning homes and buildings rescuing your mom and kids. We don't have a competition with the police. We work together respectfully. If you're either, we don't want people like you on the police OR fire department.
No one cares what you are a fan of. You've obviously never worn modern day bunker gear. Firefighters should be comfortable in their uniforms. When they put their gear on they're already overheated. Keep your opinion to yourself.
Funny how we all see our day & work. I’ve worked a call FD /Ems. Full time Ems & Ft fire IAFF in both a bigger & smaller job . The years seem to go by fast. Stay safe ! 33 years & Bfd is always stepping up for the city /state ! 🇺🇸
be very Safe in What You all do to Keep The Community's You all Serve Safe because without You They are Not Safe. Thank You all fr. Canada for The People of Boston Mas.
"100 years of tradition, unimpeded by progress." That being said, I didn't get the "first in the nation" part of the video title. There is really nothing trendsetting or progressive about this department. I'm not saying it's not a good department, I'm just curious as to what the "first in the nation" is. By the way, the guy headed to the burrito joint looks sloppy. Dirty shirt that's too short to be tucked in and look neat indicates a lack of pride, IMO.
Boston Fire evolved from its inception in 1631 to a publicly funded paid department in 1678. Cincinnati also claims the distinction but their paid status didn't occur until 1853, 175 years after Boston.
Your crew might look better in parades, Albert, but here's where the rubber meets the road: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3gFKIsrnY7c.html. and as for your remark about, "nothing trendsetting", check this out: www.firechief.com/2017/04/24/boston-fire-commissioner-named-fire-chief-of-the-year/ Your move, Albert!
