best part is if the zambooni is magically just turning with the wall instead of loading the guy up in the center where he was safe they moved him to the wall whch would be in its path
water axes jaws of life fire engines sexy callenders ice skating dont be silly everyone whos ever had a toy fireengine knows the ladder doesent come off the top DUH
Honestly that zamboni is an engineering marvel. Still running while engrossed in electrical fire, and it’s also part Tesla..? It’s completely automated and able to detect walls and turn instead of crashing into/thru them. Yet is able to barrel thru people (it knows the difference obviously). Honestly at this point I’d also be scared to chuck water on it… it would just serve to piss it off more and it would start straight up attacking you. It might even call it’s zamboni backup
I used to work rink maintenance and public skate safety for a few years. The area where the zamboni goes when it comes off the ice has big garage doors to the outside (to dump snow). They could probably even bring the fire engine through there all the way up to the ice, or at least right outside. Easy access, simple solution. ALSO, our rink at least always had ice grippers, basically rubber soles you can hook around any shoes with spikes in them so you can walk across the ice safely. There would be no problem at all to use these to get the guy off the ice and get to the fire
If the firefighters in my town were so underequipped that they didn't have boots with enough grip to handle an ice rink or had to ask for a *ladder*, the next time I have a fire in my house I'd just say "... Well, short life and a merry one" and just accept my death rather than call these buffoons. Also, to someone who has worked at an ice rink, I feel compelled to ask: is it typical of ice in a rink to be so strong that a flaming object can be rolling around on it for several minutes and not even get uneven in spots? That's what's bugging me about this scene.
Yup! When a hockey player is seriously injured, an ambulance can usually meet him/her at the Zamboni gate. Granted, my local rink makes it really hard, but if there were a fire, they'd find a way.
Roughed up ice isn’t even hard to run on in sneakers. Iv sprinted across an once rink before in normal shoes without slipping at all because it had been awhile since the Zamboni had come around.
Just think about this: Someone thought this scene up, let's call it writer A Writer A probably proposed this Idea to a room full of People and they were okay with it. At some point a Producer had to see this scene and was like: "I'm okay with this" At another point the one filming this had to see this scene and was like: "Yeah makes sense to me" The actors also had to be like: "Yeah whatever" Between all those People Noone! Objected to this! Or if they have they were ignored.
You forgot that the writers will need a 2 camelbacks- one full of water and one full of coffee- and they’ll watch (and drink) as the writers’ assistants lift them safely to the second floor. Then they’ll complain that the coffee was too cold and the water was too hot. And how dare the assistants (who are busy trying to breathe and not die) get them non organic, non vegan, non gluten free coffee. And they forgot the almond milk!!!!! And now the writers have to use the bathroom, so it’s time to take them back downstairs.
I bet their excuse for their shoddy writing is "We wanted to capture a more realistic 'What would you immediately do in this?' scenario scene in order to bring out the emotion behind it"
I love these videos. My best friend from high school's dad was ems. He fought and arranged to have first aid and cpr classes taught to every student in our school every year as part of p.e. Saddly it didn't last long, only 2 years, before a parent group complained it was encouraging kids to get into dangerous situations to help people. But the first step was always to assess the safety of the situation and call for help. I still think it was a good idea to include the class, it shouldn't have been canceled.
@@TheMegatuz Learn how to cut out the word "average" from sentences like these. We have a saying in my homeland; "A hit Goose, has a tongue loose." (To be hit/struck/shot also means to be crazy in Slovak) In short it means, if you claim "we are all idiots" only idiots will react to that sentence with disagreement.
@@ajurydiha Deadpool: *While laughing* "You're, you're about to get killed by a Zamboni. Haha. Tell me where's Francis? Or else you're going to die.... in 5 minutes." Iconic moment!
What gets me is the writers of this show actually do not need to think up situations like this every week. Just have firefighters and paramedics send in their actual reports and it probably would be just as much drama and suspense.
In Germany we have the show Feuer und Flamme (and a terrible DMAX knockoff). All they do is strap a gopro on firefighters and follow them around for 2 months. Best show ever, some emotional and exciting moments, just great. Never understood these sort of dramatized shows, they are super annoying in comparison.
I've worked as maintenance in an ice hockey rink, you could literally drive a fire truck onto the ice. You know through the same door the Zamboni gets on the ice, or use the literal fire hoses used to flood the rink to make the ice. But I get it tv.
I worked as private security a couple times at the civic center in Amarillo. They had an event where all the fire fire trucks, police and ems were all there on ice for a career day event. This guy is telling the truth.
I love how this zamboni is engulfed in fire, really bad looking fire btw, and yet there is not a hint of smoke coming off it. This thing should be belching black, toxic gas from all the burning plastic, rubber and oils.
What we don't know is that the flaming Zamboni is the writer's metaphor for this show. When they pitched the idea they never really expected the producers to green light the script.
i wish he'd do this for the entire show, id totally binge watch them if he were adding commentary like this threw out the whole show. love his vids. XD
He probably could, but they'd probably copyright sue him to stop it. Some scenes in some episodes here and there can qualify under fair use for teaching and informing.
Chicago Fire maybe more realism in their scenes. But, seen a few unrealistic dumb jokes. Oh poor Rescue Pal the misunderstood Japanese firefighting robot..
Hold up, spotted something else. They are using the basket board when there is a spine board RIGHT THERE 1:47 . If they are so worried about moving the victim because of possible spine injury... well it is in the fucking name! Basket boards are great, but you need to move the victim quite a lot to get them onto it and they were clearly struggling to do so properly due to the ice (presumably).
Plot twist: He is actually the consultant for this show in real life. After he gets done consulting for each episode he tells himself "Haha, I'm gonna have so much content for my youtube channel"
A flaming zamboni feels like in MMOs when they don't know how to make an enemy more seemingly powerful, organically, so they just assign it a random element like "flaming zamboni" and give it some extra attack damage (it's hard to hear over the actual firefighter flaming the episode, but I'd swear it even comes with boss music)
it used to have boss music, but these firefighters already killed one earlier and we were running over budget. What? you think assets just grow on trees?
@@Fausto_4841 Oh, it's like in some games where the boss becomes a normal enemy later and loses the boss music. ... Except that's usually done to show how much the player character has improved. I think these firefighters are somehow getting even dumber.

@@HenryBloggit Well a lot of sprinklers inside buildings have to be activated by high heat. The only thing keeping a fire sprinkler from coming on is a glass tube filled with glycerin that will break when high heat reaches it. That way the sprinklers don't come on where they aren't needed.
I want to know what kind of ice they've got at this rink. A flaming object has been rolling around on it for a good few minutes, and it's not even uneven.
The show writers actually had two of their characters chase a burning zamboni with fire extinguishers while on ice skates. This is a thing, this is real, I hate television.
Bro when that shit came on I couldn't help but laugh hysterically when they pulled that shit onscreen, was so god damn stupid. I miss the old days of having good shows to watch.
That does seem so dumb, to the level where you really can't take it seriously. On the other hand, I did like House MD., but that at least had a really interesting and entertaining main character.
I've worked 2 years on ice rinks. And not knly can you WALK on that ice without slipping. You can easily jogg or even run, if you're careful. Also, EVERY ICE RINK (or most), USUALLY COMES WITH A HOSE, LIKE A FIREMAN HOSE! That's how they make the ice most of the time.
@@jasonvoorhees6152 normally or carefully with either wide sole boots OR BECAUSE IT IS AN ICE RINK they usually have a spike sole you can put on your boot and then take off when youre done.
My duty boots are fine on ice, give maybe 30 seconds max and they're chilled enough to not melt the ice under them and they grip just fine. It's actually one of the things I look for, as otherwise a cold snap in our Pennsylvania winters and I'd be spending that winter flat on my ass. Well, that and it's one of the few times per year when I can actually walk on water. I'll just get my coat...
Weird fact: Most of the energy in a Zambi is used to pump the water in it,the wheels are relatively weak and veery slow,also they are very susceptible to getting stuck if ANYTHING gets under them
Honestly my question is why hasn’t the thing crashed into a wall? I’ll ignore the fact it’s still running without a driver… but how is it turning perfectly to avoid the walls without crashing? Is it part tesla?
I'd watch that. I think most of the green screens would feature nurses scrolling on their phones at the nurse's station while five TV docs crowd into the exam room by themselves. Not sure why most medical shows think doctors do all the work. Doc's job is to assess patients, develop treatment plans, file orders, and chart. Nurses do the real work of patient care by implementing those orders and monitoring patient condition. Night Shift was the worst about this, not only did the docs do the work that's actually performed by nurses, they kept going into the field and playing paramedic too. Nothing felt more real in that show than the episode where admin criticized their spending.
No thanks, know it all nurses are annoying enough in real life. They do a good enough job of inserting themselves into any medical conversation on a daily basis. It always starts the same way, “I’m a nurse…” 😂
This is beautiful. You are the voice I have yearned for every time I watch a show that is just to silly to allow my suspension of disbelief to be stretched any farther.
*someone lights a match* Crew : Whelp we cant use water to put that out... Crew : Whats the furthest door we can use to escape? Crew : Also do you have ladders? we forgot ours...
One time I tested out one of those "waterproof" camping matches in my kitchen sink and spent like five sad and mildly comedic minutes trying to put it out. I still feel like I was more competent than the firefighters in this show, however.
You forgot the part where they just sort of... stare at it for awhile as if expecting it to die of shame or something, before they begin to extensively discuss their options as if they have never experienced fire before and are trying to recall things they read once in an internet article years ago.
@@Rspsand07 Actually many Zambonis run on a propane tank. While they do emit CO and CO2, because of the short operation time coupled with the size of the room and the necessary air exchange rate, there is never a dangerous level of CO or CO2 build up.
You know, this legitimately sounds like a satire of an emergency drama show you’d see a character in a sitcom mention. “Hey guys you check out the new episode, the Firemen fought a flaming Zamboni by skating around it with fire extinguishers.”
Another question: how is the Zamboni still going?? Presumably it takes several minutes for the FD to arrive, then we get the whole scene. So does that mean it drives while on fire for like 10-15 minutes? I've seen cars roll while on fire but that's just when the brakes give out before the tires turn to mush. They don't keep driving perfect circles because all those mechanisms would've melted... Maybe this thing keeps going because it's battery powered by the energizer bunny?
Besides the blaringly ridiculous problems with this, these types of machines run on big Lithium Ion batteries, and it would be burning for quite a while. With that being said practically the entire machine is hydraulically driven and it would have crapped out once the line was burst. It really does not like to move unless you are pressing the accelerator either
It is caused by Narrativium The most common element on the disc, although not included in the list of the standard five: earth, fire, air, water and surprise. It ensures that everything runs properly as a story. For example, if a boy has two older brothers, chances are they will go on a quest. The first will be strong, and fail because of his stupidity, the second will be smart, and fail because of his frailty and the youngest brother will then have no choice but to go out, succeed and bring fame and fortune to his poor family. This phenomenon is also known as Narrative Causality. Dragons breathe fire not because they have asbestos lungs, but because that is what dragons do. Heroes only win when outnumbered, and things which have a one-in-a-million chance of succeeding often do so. The application of this phenomenon appears to be governed by some loosely formulated laws.
I see that so often and it never fails to make me cringe. I had some students when practicing lifting go "lift on 3, 1-2-3-lift" and the caller would lift on lift. I told them if they did that, I'm lifting on 3 and you're lifting after me, which can cause some issues.
🤣🤣🤣 It must be *hilarious* watching these kind of shows with you. I like to make my sister, a hospital lab tech, watch CSI: Miami just to watch her lose her mind. "How the hell can you see the lab results with all of that mood lighting?" "Oh, sure, I'll get you those DNA results in an hour IT TAKES OVER AN HOUR TO GET THE SAMPLE PREPPED, KAREN!!" 🤣🤣🤣
During CSIs golden years, not only did patients come in thinking they would get instant test results. They were quite dumbfounded when they were told some of the tests and machines on CSI had not yet been invented.
(In a humorous manner and with no ill intent) Maybe if your sister was better at her job she’d also have a tv show made about her, Tell her to stop being jealous of other peoples ability to do her job better than her 👍🏻👍🏻😂
@salim_abid_ My hospital spent heaven knows how much on a computer system that didn't work right. Patients all think that all computers can talk to each other. Our clinic computers wouldn't connect to the hospital. Patient's would get irate at being asked their meds. "My doctor's office has my list." I thought one patient was going to hit me when I tried to explain and tell him he should carry a list. By the way, the doctor sort of has your list. The office tech is supposed to update your list each visit. Each visit, they say "are these your meds" and I say "well those two I haven't been on for at least ten years, which I told you the last time I was here." If you really want to know the meds call their pharmacist.
I love how they're literally crawling on their hands and knees to get to this guy, meanwhile i've easily sprinted across skating rinks in sneakers. Plus all the stuff they've seemingly used i'm wondering if they just left their truck at the station and ran there or something
People literally walk out on frozen lakes all the time if the ice is thick enough. I understand if they dragged him out because they don't want to risk falling and taking the patient with, but they should at least be on their feet and like crouching?
It's best to have someone with skates making sure you don't fall. Even medical staff in the NHL almost always end up with a ref or player grabbing their arm or holding their back to ensure they don't fall. It's just a safety thing, hell, they clearly wanted to skate in this scene anyways, should just had 2 put on skates and send 4 on the ice with the board.
Honest question: Don't local fire departments train for MCI response at major sporting venues like hockey arenas? I thought the FD officers would have a plan of action in case of a major event at a place like that.
My sister works a zamboni for the Tampa Bay Lightning team at the Tampa sports forum. According to her; this entire scenario should never happen because new zamboni machines are designed to stop moving if you fall off of them; or they go up in flames. This scene made her cry laughing
@@jackalenterprisesofohio It's a big batterie, there is no cruise control, release pedal and no more movement and not only that let's assume there's an object stuck on pedal, there's a sensor where you sit that when you aren't sitting on it, it can't move. Also there's a big red button to stop everything in case something wrong that stop all electrical.

I'm just trying to imagine how I'd react if a team of firefighters turned up seemed less capable of putting out my fire than I was, then asked me for a ladder...
Come on, the writers are actually trying now right? It's one thing for them to have no idea what they're writing about, but writing dialogue like that makes them worse at their job than the firefighters they write about.
you are so right and I feel even dumber for not having noticed that on my first watch. I guess i was distracted by the piss poor attempt at extinguishing a 4 ton zamboni from hell with the equivalent of thoughts and prayers.
I love how a five-year-old whose only knowledge of firefighting whatsoever was "spray water on fire, water puts out fire" would do a better job directing the tactics of these scene than a team of supposed trained professionals. Do they need to start carrying an Occam's Razor as part of the kit on the truck?
This is the second most unbelievable thing I’ve ever seen in a firefighter show. Number one of course goes to Denis Leary being the most desired man in NY in Rescue Me.
I play hockey, no joke ( I was not there) this happend and the man drove it all the way outside THE DANG THING WOULD HAVE MADE THE ICE A POOL AT THIS PIONT
"Ya know Cap, I swear I saw ladders somewhere. Oh yeah...IT'S ON THE TRUCK! ALONG WITH THE ROPE, THE WATER WE COULD BE USING, AND ANY COMMON SENSE THAT EXISTS WITH THIS CREW!" I cannot explain how hard this made me laugh😅😅
Ya...you know what happens when plastic burns? Do you know what happens when plastic burns indoors? Do you know what happens when firefighters breath plastic smoke indoors? But...hey.....they've got on their N95's So...all good
I think it is. This is the first time I've seen him put himself behind something in the scene, really adds a lot to it. Now of course to believe he was really there he'd also need a lobotomy, but hey, the visual part is a start ;)
He has improved his editing, by using more backgrounds, scalling himself more appropriately, and even masking to make himself appear behind certain things. . Also nice to see a fellow Katipunero in the comments.
These are hilarious. I imagine a police officer feels the same way whenever they watch cop shows. Or doctors watching medical dramas. It's just easier to do comedy.
As someone who drove zambonis and has had them catch on fire before, the top and sides are either fiberglass or metal. They DO NOT catch on fire, and most likely the underneath catches on fire. (ya know, where the motor is, not the water or snow tanks) Which means your PERFECTLY SAFE to drive it into the WATER PIT that every rink uses to refill and PUT IT OUT. (assuming it drives all the way there before giving out. XD )
how about a video of your firehouse sitting around watching this show for the first time. Gut reactions live. I can see the beer and popcorn flying everywhere!
What's even more funny is that the Zamboni is literally moving as fast as the zombies from The walking Dead and they're still not getting him off the ice 🤣🤣
Fire Department Chronicles, I am so sorry that show is making a mockery of the fire department this way. It’s a relief that you are there to correct us and them as well!
“Oh no! Zamboni is going to get me!!” Moves to the side 😂😂😂. Thank you for making fun of these shows, they make us all look like idiots. Are you telling me not one person pointed out the damn door right next to them? 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Hahahahahahahahahaha I feel like this whole episode was just writer having a eureka moment: "alright. Hear me out. ZAMBONI." "Dude zambonis are slow as shit and are used in areas that have a million ways to exit by design, how is that exciting or suspenseful at all?" "JUST WATCH ME WORK"
I love how the watertank and the snow bin sitting on top of the Zamboni is litteraly on fire. And how this is in Seattle and you see a Canadian Flag and no US Flags anywhere.
Well, the actors for the show actually went to some EMT classes, did everything short of actually taking the tests to get certified (missed opportunity, imo), and did extensive ride-alongs with LACoFD so they would know the proper procedures and know how to work the equipment they would be using (The station Capt and Marco were ACTUAL fire fighters, iirc). For this cast... I dunno, maybe they're just following script and director, and hamming it up
