You can tell he really wanted the guy to know that he knew something about the fire service when he said "that's quite the apparatus".

Fire fighters are awesome. I don't know why there are so many people bashing them. If their house was on fire, and they were trapped inside, I bet that they would change their tune.

Love the guy at 4:25. "Used to be a paramedic". Come on dude, be honest with why you left EMS for fire. Because you got tired of the backbreaking pace of EMS, where you never stop, constantly miss meals, and get no recognition. Found a profession with a quarter of the work and 50x the recognition. Smart man.

Easy? That's a fancy meal for a bunch of tough guys. 11:25

Well said. You've gotta love all the people on KZfaq that seem to think they know better than the real professionals. You guys do a great job and I tip my hat to you all, cheers from Canada :)

Thanks to them for keeping us safe. :)

I love what these guys were making it. Thanks!

Great documentary, well done!!!

Massive massive respect to these guys

Maybe the best media ride along I have ever seen. The news crew didn't ask 'stupid' questions and the crew on duty seemed to be real (as in not just being on camera). Good job too everyone!

Great documentary! Greatings to TFD from KFD. Stay safe brothers.

Enjoyed watching your video

We need a remake of this video

God keep these men and their families

I can't wait till I finish school and can finally start my career

Pumper 245's station is at 1600 Birchmount Road in Scarborough, east of the DVP and south of the 401.

TFS' reduction in medical call had nothing to do with Sales. it was a decision made by the tiered response committee, in which 5 emergency physicians are members of. The decisions were made based on evidence based research (which nobody has ever provided any counter evidence towards). TFS was removed from calls in which they do not have the skillset to make a positive impact on patient outcome. It's not a bash on firefighters, just an understanding of the limitations of the service they provide

Respect to the max for firefighters themselves. Management and union are another story.

Very informative I enjoyed this video! 👏👏 👩‍🚒

this awesome to watch I love fighter fire, police but this awsome.

Looking sharp, brothers! From your cousins to the south

my friend is canadian and lives in toronto, gonna show him this because he loves toronto fire.

the best toronto firefighters

I need to hit up this fire hall for dinner, that sounded so good lol

very good video to watch, i love watching american firefighting videos because i am an Australian FireFighter!

Actually statistically TFS arrives before EMS, on tiered response calls, only about 40-50% of the time.

After I get out of the Army, I'm taking a Pre-Service Firefighter course and applying to the TFS afterwards

I remember when that was hall# 6 Scarborough fire dept

If you phone your local station, generally they're more than happy to talk. We do lots of tours every year. Especially for young kids.

Iowa is a little bit of a drive for my mid town of missouri but thank you so much for offering. If I need to ask a few questions maybe we could video chat?

Canada walmarts make me jealous

I Feel like being a Toronto Firefighter Now I like those firefighters and that Pumper 245 P245 Looks nice and i like the firemen there so im gonna become a firefighter there.

Nice piece.....and one of the better ones for sure!

Firefighters rock!

I am a Volunteer for Hampton NB, eventually more then a volunteer.

Back in service

I apologize for your hearing impairment. The captain on 245 clearly explains the reasoning.

How the fire service works is for a structure fire there's a set number of apparatus they send to the call based on location as explained by the Pumpers Lieutenant at 7:17 Basically what it does is prevents as much fire damage as possible saving the private company money. It sounds stupid but works efficiently.

Just wow, great jobs... We can deserve you the word hero :)

I am a firefighter in Iowa if you wanna ask me id be more then happy to answer some of questions

When your in the intersection, blast the horn and Q!

In my county and they got a call like that they would have started 2 attack lines and just go running in there (walmart call)

That is one of the stores i shop at

Well #1 TFS only sends one truck to medical's mainly because we arrive on scene before TEMS does 9 time out of 10,and they do give the patient medical treatment until TEMS arrives.The only time you will see more than 1 truck on a medical is for a medical assists and the most they send is 2.If you would like to go ahead and explain to Chief Sales why we shouldn't get new trucks,but instead,SUV's that replace what our trucks do just fine,go right ahead,but I think we need the trucks more ;)

The dude that said ya think you’re from south command is wearing a station 333 patch lol

Rick Berenz is one of the best!

I paused it at 5:35 (listening to tones drop on the scanner) and I could not stop laughing. Haha

Wait a minute, this Scarborough :O

Ok, I am a sr. in highschool doing a project over what it takes to be a fire fighter, I need interviews with firefighters, chiefs, captians, and more, but I am looking for suggestions on the best way to ask to do those interviews. Any ideas to help, should I call, email, or just go to the station and ask?

For a confirmed structure fire called in by a citizen I can 100% support a full response by several apparatus. I'm referring to the electronic fire alarms that are 99.9% false alarms and comprise a significant portion of the department's response. In a perfect world I would love to support responding additional units to save a few insurance dollars but when every other city department in Toronto is having their budget slashed it seems like a huge waste. Just my opinion...

if your referring to the fire pole, most departments have done away with the fire poles due to safety issues, and insurance companies won't cover them

More Toronto Fire!!!!!

I work on squad 5 fire truck

I really want to be a firefighter. But I don’t think I would be taken seriously in that field:(

Once we had a call to our mall and our driver got annoyed with drivers not moving over and everyone was stopped so he straddled the yellow line and blew through the center.

Yes sir that is correct. 4 man pumper and rescue crews, and 95% of the time 3 man aerial and heavy rescue (squad) crews.

Do you guys do rides along to emergencies? Or only tours?

my uncle is toronto firefighter district cheif peter mucullagh

I work at TFS. I am captain on rescue 235

What is wrong with some SUV's that stay mobile the way EMS' ERU's do. Put a Captain and First Class firefighter on them. They can do medical calls, and provide first response to alarms and fires. 2 firefighters can establish incident command and determine what resources need to be sent, or can cancel false alarms. It's not that TFS can't do this, it's that they don't want to do it.

On rob

that's not the problem... the problem is when 3 firetrucks with 12 firefighters show up to a medical call where an old lady is having chest pain and only wanted an ambulance to take her to the hospital nice and quiet. instead, her entire neighborhood is lit up she is embarrassed. Fires, send em, car crashes with people trapped, send em. Medical calls, send an SUV with 2 or 3 firefighters encase EMS needs extra hands. I've been on these calls and trust me, the firefighters don't do a whole lot.

Damn fire fighters are so cool

No,taking necessary precautions.They don't know it's a false alarm until the crews go in,reset,look around and overhaul a bit.I don't know about you but I would rather have 5 trucks respond to my house for a false alarm then have 2 and there be a real fire and it takes the extra 3-6 min for apparatus to arive on scene

the larger medic at 12:05 is one of my lab techs at school.

Что за штука отцепляется от машины на 3:59 ?

Other peripheral fire services in the Toronto area (Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham) have all been critical of TFS' over responding. If other firefighters, who do what you do, are calling it excessive, do you think it just might be a bit? Why is it that it takes TFS double the resources to battle the same type of house fire that another GTA service needs? Their firefighter injuries and deaths are no higher that Toronto's. Does Brampton still carry the SCBA that is twice the size?

The sad part is that the Captain is probably the only person in that building who can afford to live in the city he serves.

i want to be one of those guys someday

My friend work for tfs

My cousin is going to be a fire fighter in toronto

Kids happy kids spooked

is toronto running 4-man engine crews?

i have my own fd in tillamook

if you want to look at life and evryday social setting in a cynical/bitter way, everything is useless until you need it. I am a Paramedic and although our numbers are not as large as the FD I always appreciate their help and expertise on calls. I would rather have resources and not need them opposed to needing them and not having them. Thanks for your help bothers and sisters :0)

🇨🇦cool

Solute to the Fire fighters. Thank You

I live in Tucson and watched the el tour de Tucson and I'm only 14 and helped emts help a old guy and they brought a 100ft lader to the scene! This is no fire! He just fell off his bike!

Fantastic profession! but I ended up wondering why isn't there any female firefighter in this station...

It’s actually supposed to be pumper two forty five that he should speak audibly into the microphone lol

If I was a driver in Canada, I’d be driving like a badass American.

Ready to safe another basement!

16 floor, I believe they didnt forget anything, or junior guy would be dead by the end...

That would be me at 11:12. Get lost. My kitchen!

today it hapend. hier in roumania. arad. we were there. we are alwaiys there. it's ok.

Old fort york toronto british air base

Country that's country

Only in Canada must you learn how to climb into a truck...

Is this a government job or private over there?

@BillyShears, 3 fire trucks to a medical call? Being a little dramatic aren't we? Oh wait it's just another insecure paramedic commenting on a fire clip on KZfaq.

As for the "if it saves 1 life it's worth it" argument that Toronto Fire always seems to use....we would save 1000's more lives by re-allocating those funds into our broken hospitals, EMS, and public health.

rig is a Spartan ? is it ?

how many guys are on a truck? only 4?? :o

I'm actually a assistant tornado firefighter

That engine needs a dam Q siren

@ffryan. So no matter what the story or who it's about it comes back to recognition to you personally. And that fire gets to much. The red headed step child is crying again and I don't have a bottle. You work harder than us ( your words) but not one if you guys could do our job and enter a burning building. I really don't but hey ffryan ill make sure the media is there!!!!

I'm an American and I'm currently attending college to become a certified firefighter but I want to move to Canada. I know Canada is strict on immigration but I can assure you that I'm willing to contribute and work hard as a legal immigrant becoming a Canadian citizen. My question to any Canadian is how can I be a citizen in your beautiful country? I want to help people by being a firefighter at Canada. And will me being a firefighter be enough to live a comfortable life at Canada? I also want to be a physical trainer on the side as a hobby.
