What's It Like Being a Firefighter? | Inside The London Fire Brigade 

As a German firefighter I totally agree with you, there are always new things to learn and seeing how other departments/countries handle same scenarios in different ways. Stay safe 💪👨‍🚒

fair play to them ⭐️🤲🏾

Grenfell showed nothing but lack of proper communication,lack of proper fire fighting equipment, racism, violence and hate towards female fire fighters, time to forget the pr videos, tear it down,start over with properly trained fully equipped fire fighters and stop the London pr stunt that's nothing more than a pathic British flag waving nonsense

How many do you know?🤔

@@danielelise7348 Quite a few, over 40yrs or so.

they discriminate against men, making them work an extra ten years more than a female for retirement ?

The 999 call sends them out. From Joe. X

The robot wars machine Tornado was like a fire engine in the extreme warriors series 2 USA/UK international championships episode. By hearing the 999 call, getting round the traffic and to the emergency by winning the trophy!. He was in it's series 5 module before remodelling for series 6. From Joe. X

Not forgetting the 999 episodes from series 10 in 1998 about the west midlands fire school uploaded by DoctorVision. From Joe. X

No chance!. From Joe. X

​@joeandrews7329 that's what my folks said 😢😂😂😂

Then look at some fire departments in the us. They also use no SCBA during overhaul. like New York, Detroit, etc.

Hoarding more often then not IS a mental health disorder, Fix the health system

@@naomimoran5564 the healthcare system is under tremendous burden often due to preventable diseases, and injuries. If these individuals took responsibility for their health, the system would be able to assist those who have issues that are not due to poor patient health responsibility such as those with genetic diseases, spontaneous cancers etc.

Real rescues!. From Joe. X

They aren't allowed to retire early. What DID piss me off was when I was in the job, you had to work 15 years before you got your final pay increment (or long service pay). I did my fifteen years... and almost exactly on the day when I received my first long service increment, the government decided that "the long service increment was discriminatory against women" and so decided that EVERYONE got the increment after their first 4 years... meaning me and lots of others had lost out on a LOT of pay that we'd all had to wait 15 years for... then when we finally got there EVERYONE was given it !!! For myself it equated to nearly £15,000 in lost pay, and that was at 1980s/90s prices !!!

@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 Very wrong!. From Joe. X

Oh you a firefighter? Where from? How long? Any special training?

Female fireman? Times change

Idiot, when your house catches fire and a woman turns up im pretty sure you should probably respect and appreciate them, fireman came from when it was just men, im pretty sure you wouldn't like people calling you the opposite gender

Horrible ain't they? 😂

You’re the horrible one.

@@tatsnneeps341 Sissy!. From Joe. X

Males have more muscle mass and the ability to lift and carry more. In emergencies I'm not sure how a female will be able to carry a heavy man

@@waterproof_teabags3592 Yet women have been nurses since the beginning of medicine and have been perfectly capable of handling bodies. Women might be smaller, but they're not weak. Big muscular men can't lift infinitely heavier and heavier people either. This is why co-operation has been invented. A little helping hand, in a job, where team effort is required, is better than having to prove your "worth". Now tell everyone how you're so much better than women.

@BW630 Veisto nurses always operate in a team environment and now days always operate in a safe area where they always have control and equipment to help them without many risks to themselves . Fire fighters are much different, they don't always have control of the situations and have to drag and help alot of unconscious people without equipment and the help of fellow fire-fighters. So now quote me where I said I'm better ?

Woman shouldn't be in the job... That was when it started going down hill. They took away a LOT of the entry requirements in the 1990s. "Minimum height" was discriminatory, basic strength tests "favoured males". Merseyside where this was filmed ended up employing a number of short arses, including women around 5 ft tall who could NOT reach the equipment in the top shelves of the lockers.... so at a cost of over 1 million pounds to the taxpayer, the equipment stowage on the ENTIRE fleet of engines was adapted to have special "drop down shelves" so the midgets could reach the equipment on them.... The "seven dwaves" had difficulty climbing up into the cabs and so as the fire authority replaced the fleet of engines in phases, all the new engines had to have expensive "drop down" pneumatic suspensions fitted to lower the cab steps so they could climb in. I kid you not !!! They even had 2 women who were so short that the standard BA sets, with their adjustable backplates, could not be shortened enough to fit their tiny female frames and so at CONSIDERABLE public cost the brigade commisioned the manufacturers (Draeger of Germany) to build two specially adapted BA sets to be personally issued to the two women in question !!! I worked with a number of the women and it was often embarrasing watching them struggling with heavy equipment or jammed couplings, and if you offered to help you'd be scowled at for being "patronising". "The Job" went to ratshit after all that. I await the day when they fit hydraulic "chair lifts" to the fire engine crew cabs, because after all, who are you or I to step on the dreams of a wheelchair bound paraplegic who wants to be a fireman? Take me back to these days.

More ladies are firefighters!. From Joe. X

Its the way the UK fire Brigade appears to have gone. If there's no fire risk, or danger of fire spread they just leave it to burn... In my day you got your arse kicked and were told to "get in there!!!".
