Norm’s son mentioned his passing in a comment when the video was first posted. He mentioned that his Dad was embarrassed at the lack of calls they got that day. RIP.

@@greggrimes4252 that is a shame. It's not like he had any control over what calls and how many come in.

Rest In Peace Norman your thoughtless actions goes unnoticed in our city you served with Scarborough Fire Department Thank you you every thing you did 😔

Hi Mike, I am very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I too recall his concern about the "lack of action" in the episode and he convinced us to add the real fire footage at the end of the program to show the work that firefighters do in our community. We asked to shoot another day in the life but at the time our bosses wouldn't permit it. As the son of a firefighter myself (my Dad retired as a Captain after 37 years with Sarnia Fire Department) I know that they do have some down time but when they are busy they are very busy and extremely valued. Please extend my sympathy to your family on your Dad's passing.

Solitude Guard I agree with your observation. At the time Scarborough Fire would not let us ride on the truck with a crew and being in the Chief’s van was the only option that they would provide to us. It was their decision.

This was an amazing episode, your father did amazing. My time as a volunteer you found you had exciting days. And the cameras would have had to been there on that specific day. It isn't all action an glory I can definitely feel what he was. Unfortunately didn't work like that always,my hats off to your father.

Really sorry to hear about your dads passing. He seemed like a great DC. RIP 🙏

@@michaelacri2875 Thanks Michael , l havent looked at this in awhile, he enjoyed the relationships he made with all his fellow firefighters and the job. Thank you

The best time to be alive

l love the looks of the old style fire truck

You ain’t lying about that. A lot has changed, with the world and within the firehouse. Politics where always somewhat known in the fire service. Very little, but it was there. Now, it’s one of the biggest things in the fire service. Everything seems to be about politics now.

I remember the Cedarbrae Cinemas as a kid but sadly it's no longer there

Spent a lot of my childhood playing in the valley behind Curran Hall.

We still have them in some buildings in my neighbourhood

The same stupid Idiots Drivers in Germany 😎😇

Can’t use the q word around the firehouse. Hell, I have issues saying that word on days off 😂 😂.

Whyso? T. not a firefighter

@@Univer3eTwist3ers Superstitious, when ever someone says the word quiet around the firehouse, ems, and so on. It pretty much means we are going to run our asses off that evening which is usually how it goes. Same while working shifts during a full moon.

@@firewalker1372 Oooo yikes. Thanks for the explination!

LOL "torontonians are so nice" hahha

I saw it but how can you tell it's a medicine bottle?

You are correct.

It's 0.0057 miles

1 mile is 1.6 km 😂

gotta make the old government employees feel like they've hit the top

Looks like a GE Pheonix SX.

Remember this was the late 80’s and we used older tube cameras. Community TV in Canada at that time had tight budgets. We recorded onto 3/4” video tapes that had 20 min of record time each. The record deck was large and carried by a crew member who was tethered to the camera operator with a 6’ camera cable. The equipment was very cumbersome and the technology was not conducive for night shoots. We had portable lights but tried to not use them unless absolutely necessary. One trait of tube cameras was the tearing or light trails when light moved through the shot at night. We have come a long way since 1987.

@@greggrimes4252 I know we've come a long way, to just wasn't sure what the limitation was.

Yes you may do so. If possible could you provide a link back to the program. If not, the title so people can search on KZfaq would be awesome. Thanks for checking first.

@@greggrimes4252 thank you! I just posted it, I gave your name and the name of the video

This is really great I remember the yellow fire trucks scarboro had back in the early to mid 80's, I can remember visiting the hall on warden ave.

Not sure what a 10-75 is or was?

@@greggrimes4252 a working fire?!

It was 1987 remember

Society and response protocols were different then.

yea lets just annoy anyone for no reason at all.

siren was on the roof of the van, makes it super loud in the vehicle, it would cause hearing damage

Back in the day before everyone had portables. this was common with police as well to let dispatch know you were away from your car. Here he's letting them know what station to find him at though
