Not only Buscemi was a firefighter in New York, but he went back to his old station the day after 9/11 and he worked 12 hours each day for several days looking for survivors, sifting through the debris alongside many many other firefighters obviously. Declined all interviews and only a handful of photographs of him during those days actually exist. Truly remarkable.

A lot of people don't know that Jack Nicholson ALSO used to be a firefighter.. sort of. He was a volunteer firefighter when he was younger and funny enough when he did The Shining had to go through the wooden doors they first put up a fake door and no one knew that Nicholson used to be a volunteer firefighter and he went through the door in seconds so they put up REAL wooden doors. That's why that scene feels so real. You are actually seeing Jack Nicholson breaking down a real wooden door with a REAL fire axe

Including one of the largest BIG 10 Univs. 1 block away. Do I count as a real firefighter? btw, NYC (Where Firefighter Gregory Shepherd is a fireman) has 197 engine houses with a population of 8 million people. That means that the average FDNY engine has a first due population of 40,600. . . sooo can I call myself a real fireman yet?

@@tapioalatalo6183 the difference is just in whether you get paid or not. Most firefighters in the US are volunteer. There are 4 to 5 times the number of volunteers (don't get paid) to the number of carrier firefighters (get paid). Both are 'real' or 'actual' firefighters.

My dad is a retired Baltimore city firefighter and i remember how excited he was about Ladder 49, but in Baltimore the ladder trucks are just called trucks. For example, he served most of his career on 13 Truck (which was decommissioned in the 90s)

Probably the only comment I'll ever leave on a video. I was a volunteer firefighter for 10 years and we were required to have the same training as career firefighters. I had my hazmat certification as well as my Firefighter I certification some guys are able to complete more and go on to become career firefighters or just be very knowledgeable volunteers. This guy was extremely great to watch and I liked his, "It's gonna be pitch black..." statement, it's so true. Can be clear as can be outside with sunshine and inside the building will be near total darkness and can't even see your hand.

The only time I've ever expierenced a fire with my dad being a firefighter for about 30 yrs before retiring, he had us drop him off at the fire one time and the other was us dropping water off and making sure the guys didn't need anything when they worked about a 30 hour welding factory fire. My dad was almost killed that day, I'm glad chief noticed he was about to round the corner of a explosion and saved his life. I know I never could do what my dad did. the thought of running into a burning building is terrifying. Thank you for your service my guy!

@michaelbiddinger9178 2 года назад

the reason ladder 49 is such a realistic movie for the most part is because the director actually went to the fire departments of baltimore and glen burnie and talked to them about their stories like the scene where the guy falls through the roof and dies is a kind of true story about my great uncle but my uncle didnt die he was in a full body cast for 6 months

Back in 1997,my bro was living in Doylestown,PA ,working there for a french plant. I was at the time a volunteer firefighter in France,and spent a month at his house. I had gifts for the fire departement of the place, and they literally adopted me.I was lucky enough to be in the front seat of the town's ladder during a routine exercise,as being a passenger of the 1929 fire truck. These guys were incredibly charmful and nice with me. I flew back to france with the ultimate collectible:a firefighter helmet that they offered to me. Wonderful memories!

@yourlocalbooknerd3014 2 года назад

As a firefighter myself I wanted to see if he was as infuriated at the inaccuracy of television as I am. I agree with much of his commentary. The one thing I disagree with is at 12:17 when he says that firefighters would take off their own breathing apparatuses to give them to civilians. That may be true for his department, but I would be in a world of trouble if I did that. My department has the belief that if you do not wear that breathing device in a building you are compromising your safety. If you get hurt, you cant help anyone else. It I interesting to see the differences in departments and rules.

@drewdabbs418 2 года назад

I was surprised when he said that. I thought seriously comprising your own saftey to help somebody else would be counter productive.

I always see fire fighter stuff and I can’t help but think if police stations was run the same way we wouldn’t have the same issues. Like fire fighters just seem so put together and have different relationship with the public and straight up treat the public differently.

Not a lot of people know, but Pete Davidson (The King of Staten Island) lost his father on 9/11. Scott Davidson was a member of Ladder 118, based in Brooklyn. Like many units, they rode in "heavy" that morning, losing all 8 men that responded on the truck. There's a very famous photo of L-118 as it's crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, on its way in to Lower Manhattan, with 1 and 2 WTC in the background, smoking heavily. God bless the 343.

@ArJayPtV 3 года назад

it’s so crazy how some of things he was saying about fire safety sounded familiar. especially with being low and smoke safety. It’s because my school took us to the survive alive house a good amount when i was a kid. you get to learn about fire safety and meet real firefighters and like reenact what it would be like if you were to be in a real fire. it was fun and cool to learn as a kid.

In my experience of firefighting, Ladder 49 definitely is the best depiction of firefighting (still has its hollywood) And for TV, Rescue Me is like Chicago Fire but actually realistic.

My father spent many years as chief of a small town fire department. One Christmas, we were heading to his parents' house 20 miles away, and he saw smoke ... so of course he had to drive towards it! It was a big barn fire, and he ended up staying to help the other department. We waited several hours for Christmas dinner that year!!
