holy shit mate, i watched the same thing 5 minutes ago, and came to watch this. :) Thought literally the same!

Damn, I watched it too

Lmao that video brought me here 🤣

Just finished watching it too.

Lol me too

Maaaaaaaaaaaaybe.....

Richard Jones same with us here, well, career stations, it’s less common with career stations, to be able to fill with the same manpower for the entire department, but volunteer stations, any time another chief calls over asking for a fill, we oblige. I read about another career department that was out of service, they were filled by another department, but they only have a staffing of six. If our city to the south needed filled, that’s an average of four people per station, they have thirty stations.

I’m from the U.K. and a school I use to go to it’s science lab lit on fire and there was a gas explosion I live in the country side My small country side towns 2 trucks responded and then a city nearby sent 8 units So we share units

How did you comment if you’re a truck?

Its in new jersey alot of shit they do doesnt make sense.

Soooo if your house was burning down with you and your loved ones trapped inside, you'd be happy knowing that they were "out of action" for a pitiful awards ceremony? I know they wouldn't be happy about it. I was awarded the Bravery Medal and the Australian Fire Service Medal on the same day and I ran out on the West Australian State Premier AND the Department of Fire and Emergency Services COMMISSIONER to go to a road crash rescue, where I saved a young mother while my Lieutenant, who also ran out of the ceremony, saved her child (sadly the father did not survive, though they were doing the right thing as he was sober and the mother was not). We don't do what we do for praise or awards, or even for recognition. We do it to save lives. I honestly don't like the idea of being given a medal, to me it's just a ribbon and a piece of metal. Whoopy Beans. Give a medal to the single-digit child who overcame cancer and a car crash at the same time. Give a medal to the man who pulled me out of a fire at great personal risk. Give a medal to the people that don't have training and experience in the work we do, but do it anyway.

@@mitchell1091 do you know what mutual aid or automatic aid is? You do realize hundreds of stations go out of service daily for things like fundraisers and going to schools and stuff. Believe it or not there are usually multiple units that can respond to you with pretty much the same response time. That was kind of a dumb comment.

@@michaelt.9372 Thinks work a little differently in Australia, asshat. But all the same, they were on station, ready to respond. Why put them out of service?

@@mitchell1091 so that stuff like this doesn't happen? Stations cover each other all the time. Sometimes its nice to have a ceremony without being interrupted.

Ben Touchstone this is two years old it isn’t a big deal

@@Peyton_rice08 Shut up squeaker, I'll have you know that I'm 15 and I share the commenter's thoughts!

Ocean1cbanana2 [AW2RE] did I ask

Alright Next we'd like to congratulate *Alarm Rings* Well hold off until they return

I've had it where we got slammed so much, that we had to stop for fuel WHILE responding to a call, and while fueling up, got an additional call. LOL. (And, no, we went back later to pay for the fuel (a pre-arrangement with the gas station))

The members being honored were probably scheduled off, or had people covering them so they were off that day

emt5330 That’s the way it’s done in the military on your day off you have to come and get dressed up to be honored a great day off.👍😁😎

Good point lol they should make it random for those poor souls named Mr. Xylos

@@emperornephew6487 oh nice catch, I didn't notice

@Thu Nell Ⓥ Respect is ageless, which is one of many concepts you are clearly ignorant of. R.L.T.W./A.T.W. 🇺🇸

@Thu Nell Ⓥ Blah blah blah. Yadda yadda yadda. Keep being the fool. R.L.T.W./A.T.W.

Same thing I was thinking, lol she is a badidie

a catch huh

It's not necessary, but why put it down? My Dept. doesn't do awards typically, but I don't see a problem with it.

@@tewksburydriver8624 Fully agree. A pat on the back for a job well done, feels good and might encourage even better performance.

First off, thank you, second, If policemen get medals why shouldn't you?

Firefighter valor awards are only given to firefighters that go up and beyond and do everything they can to save another person's life without worrying about their own safety. The award usually isn't given to a firefighter unless they have risked their life going into a fully engulfed structure just to save a victim. any firefighter that hasn't come close to death won't receive an award. Firefighters valor awards are just like police valor awards or military valor awards , you only get them if you put your own life completely at risk just to rescue a down firefighter or trapped fire victim.

I don't know where the hell you're from ,that you have never heard of Valor Awards. This shit has been here forever. Maybe you need to do some productive work wherever it is that you fire fight ,and then you'll get recognized.

You say that, until one of them pulls you out of your burning house or car!

You watched the video... And took the time to comment

Me

Obviously you cared enough to comment

Get a life loser
