No markings on the truck.

No company markings on the helmets either, I'm gonna go with Chicago Fire

u/Horizon_Time 4d ago
I think it looks more like Fire Country since it's more rural setting

u/OP-PO7 Career P/O 4d ago
Ooooh good call

u/Horizon_Time 3d ago
Thanks! Fire Country is so bad, Chicago Fire is more realistic. My family and I die watching both at times, but more so Fire Country lol

Saying chicago fire is more realistic than fire country is like saying a rattle snake bite isnt as bad as a coral snake bite.... i mean yea i guess but do u really want either? Lol

u/Horizon_Time 2d ago
I could've worded that better lol
Neither is good at all, but the lesser of the two very very very unrealistic evils is Chicago Fire.

I ain’t a FF, but hear me out. Flip the hose around and blast the one fighting for a sec to get him to cool off.

u/PIESANG70 4d ago
Lol, This is the only appropriate action. Fuck man, there's an active fire going on. Looks like multiple floors involved as well. Do your job first, fuck each other up later when property or lives aren't at risk

I believe the gray shirt is trying to sack the qb. Excellent blocking. Great footwork

u/Pizzaman624 4d ago
Hahaha i just rewatched and you are actually spot on haha. Dude had perfect blocking. Captain he was protecting better have gave him some props

Probably someone upset that someone else ate the last half brownie instead of cutting it in half and leaving 1/4 for the next guy to cut in half

u/wookiee42 4d ago
You're not supposed to eat those brownies.

u/rawkguitar 4d ago
Yup. Then you have to throw the container away in the trashcan right next to you, and who wants that kind of responsibility?

u/ConsciousReward2967 4d ago
So your saying it’s not just my work that grown men can’t toss something in the trash 8 feet away?

Really?
This is fake.
Or is it dancing?
I’ve seen 3rd grade girls sort it out better.

So we have an improperly-dressed ff on the hose who has time to pull his phone out, and a hot head trying to beat someone up, while someone's home goes up in flames. 🙄
Wonder what badly-written TV show this scene will appear in?

u/LawyerFlashy1033 4d ago
Fake. There’s fire 1st floor window and door B side and fire second floor 2 windows on D side. That’s not natural fire progression unless it’s fully involved. There is no visible smoke anywhere in the video which is inconsistent with he amount of fire and there’s no badging on the engine.

u/FirstNav 4d ago
I thought that was weird too. Multiple rooms and floors involved but no smoke or damage to the structure yet? Also what kind of structure was that?

They are fighting about how much pressure they should be running. Currently it is at 80 psi and the guy in the t-shirt wants to turn it to 110.

Obviously he wanted the insurance payout and was made the other company got there first.

I'm sure I speak for most firefighters when I say we don't all fight like two 12 year old girls.

u/Zealousideal_Art_580 3d ago
Believe this is Hyattsville, MD. Two volunteers were arrested for assault. One of them blocked the way for a career engine and another pulled a firefighter off a porch, throwing her to the ground.

u/ManchestersBurning saltiest junior fireman on this god damn planet 3d ago
Definitely not Hyattsville

u/Zealousideal_Art_580 3d ago
There’s been so many incidents of such in Maryland it’s hard to keep track. I think this is one from 2006, not sure though.

u/ManchestersBurning saltiest junior fireman on this god damn planet 3d ago
2006 handheld cellphones ford FMC first due no mutual aid in the middle of PG? Improper PPE.
PG is bad and has a bad rep but they know how to do their job unlike the guys in the video

I am embarrassed I have never seen it. One thing for sure is they are top tier career guys that have their priorities straight.

u/theworldinyourhands 4d ago
This is some volunteer stuff if I’ve ever seen it.
You have a multiple floor structure on fire, tank to pump open, guy on nozzle with no gear, no airpacks, nothing.
Then a fight? Come on… what even is this?
This is the kind of thing that make people look at the fire service as a joke.
Do your job, you weirdos.

u/LokiSARK9 4d ago
There are private for-profit fire services sprouting up in some areas, too. The lack of markings on the truck and general unpreparedness/unprofessionalism makes me wonder if that could be the case here.

u/GFSoylentgreen 4d ago
What country is this in? I see so many issues going on in just this short vid, like too many to mention.

u/Owlrightythen_84 Fire Plug 4d ago
First time watching this video. Context is, I couldn't tell ya.
Looks like a couple of man babies fighting it out instead of doing some work.

I would hazard to guess that a "self-appointed" fire dept. showed up on a scene in Temu bunker gear and a truck they bought at a municipal auction.

Volunteer dept at its finest!!! Respect your professionally paid firefighters yall
