5 Amazing Tools Every Firefighter Must Have

[@adambrady6675]

I delivered a baby then circumsized him with my Raptor Shears by Leatherman. Thank God I had my Streamilght Survivor flashlight to guide me through it. It was pretty dark. Afterward I repelled from the scene and woke up in my bunk. LOL !

[@adambrady6675]

The Jaws were handy in delivering that baby too...

[@ronaldrobertson2332]

[@HumbleDirtMerchant]

Leatherman Raptor shears include a ring cutter, for emergency divorce operations.

+Joseph Heschmeyer lol so funny

[@willie4093]

I loved that great comment dude

[@marthinkn1749]

Joseph Heschmeyer you should do it once a year

[@FireMedicMoody390]

Joseph Heschmeyer lmao!!!! Hadn't thought of that one.

[@jananusic208]

Lovely Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Rozardner Lucky Interview Reality (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good exclusive guide for firefighter interview tips minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cooworker at last got excellent success with it.

[@benchristian360]

If your doing trauma care on scene or in the ER. That Leatherman raptor will be gone in a 24 hours. Just get the cheap ones lol.

[@JB91710]

My five tools that every fire fighter needs. 1. The ability to Think. 2. A strong work ethic. 3. Knowing what their responsibilities are. "Stop the threat as fast and safe as possible while using the least amount of water." 4. Knowing that Protecting victims comes before trying to rescue them as protection can happen faster than rescue by eliminating the threat from outside. 5. Knowing that climbing on the roof of a burning building to cut holes to improve interior conditions is ridiculous. Open a window at the fire room and apply water.

"The real heroes do not wear tight suits, they do not imitate spiders or bats, they can not fly. And sometimes they die trying to do it!" A phrase about firefighters. Best regards from Venezuela.

[@daveboydell2896]

Ah yes they do have people like you fooled!

[@Inertdeath33]

The raptor are my favorite I do confined space rescue in refineries

[@CristianGomez-x1g]

I'm not sure if every firefighter has this I forgot what it's called but what about the sound alarm it kind of looks like a walkie-talkie I believe it has a little red button , where the firefighters could easily track you down if you're lost in a building or something

[@ronaiosa126]

It’s called a PASS alarm

[@CristianGomez-x1g]

@@ronaiosa126 aha thanks

[@diegosc985]

Why do these commercials always have heavy rock music?

[@mgallager1449]

I wish those items were available when I was firefighter. The leatherman are on my radar.

[@suisseanonyme1033]

1) streamlight is a light like a other one, in a lot of european country, we do not have "body lamp", the helmet one is enough. 2)raptor are good shears, but they are too expensive for volunteer firefighter, xshear should be considered 3)I don't know how it is in US, but safety harness aren't a "firefighter's thing" (except for specialised units) here in Switzerland, they are a truck thing. 4)depending of your area, if there isn't building in your area, we would trust other firefighters to give us a ladder here in Switzerland. 5)extrication pliers are definitely a truck thing

[@chiefsquattingbull7624]

I am not a firefighter, but #5 & #4 are relevant to me.

[@JB91710]

What American fire departments and firefighters need is a strong and responsible WORK ETHIC! Right now it doesn't exist in 95% of the departments.

[@themedic1548]

This just seems incredible

[@jamesluck2969]

ive had the raptors for 3 years now, I use it everyday and I'm not ems/law enforcement

[@JohnDoe-yq5bd]

James Luck then what use do you have for it then

[@jamesluck2969]

John Doe, I do general laboring at a waste water treatment plant out of Chicago il USA, that and a lot of random jobs combined together cause the need for a lot of cutting. They are perfect for cutting zip ties, metalstraps, the seat belt cutters are great for cutting plastic liners.

[@FireMedicMoody390]

Pretty cool seeing a GA EMT patch in the video.

[@jackgibs5855]

no running on the fire ground

[@stevenkelly9731]

In your dept.. We run.

[@stefano9047]

Shut up volley

[@daveboydell2896]

They forgot to mention a comfortable bed to sleep on.

[@sisenor4091]

I prefer lights on the helmet ⛑.

[@X0X093]

haligan bar?

[@wakevash311]

What pair of gloves is the firefighter in the thumbnail using?

[@62ericg]

as someone who has used it, that hurst edraulic strongarm is absolutely useless. If you need to force a door, use a halligan, if you need it for vehicle extrication, use a regular cutter or spreader. When something is a jack of all trades, its a master at none.

[@trevethan82319841]

Im surprised. The first responder hi-lift jack wasn't on the list

[@troythemighty3683]

That’s one complicated flashlight

[@martin.dubai1managerpsklog814]

wonderful videos

[@ZipHD]

Thank you for the kind words

[@diorynovis]

One intangible invisible all-powerful "tool" a ff ideally should also possess is GUTS. Courage and determination are common- they use it everyday; but one thing stands out among the rest.. guts - a totally free "tool" in its rarity.

[@connork3ith]

About the XO does it only work if you have a harness because on are department we don't wear one on fire scenes

[@denniskutsin7968]

yes you need harness we have our harness built in our gear

[@davecarsley8773]

Connor Alexander No. The XO can work with any piece of appropriate rope or webbing (which you should already have in your pocket) that is tied into a harness (which you should be regularly training to do if you don't carry actual harnesses.

[@SpcPoole]

In other words, learn to tie a Swiss seat. In the dark with your gloves on.

[@onemanarmyorso]

it doesn't have to builded into your gear but do need harness if so bad that your going have to use your not go to have time make a harness whit webbing or rope

[@davecarsley8773]

Except for the last one, it looks like a bunch of stuff for excited rookies to spend their limited money on

[@knsmith8855]

Dave Carsley raptor shears work great, also it never bad to buy a personal escape system, when it goes to shit,you dont wanna be wishing you had when you dont have it.

[@southsideshenanigans]

+kn Smith I agree with the personal escape system. Just watch FDNY black Sunday video from 05. I may never use it. But I don’t want to ever want to need it and not have it.

[@OneSkiWonder]

I use my Raptor shears everyday at both of my jobs. If you don't have a set, you're either an old timer who dislikes change, even change that makes things more efficient, or you're a rookie yourself that's too arrogant to recognize a good thing when you see one.

[@cornchips2201]

@@OneSkiWonder So you're saying that me not carrying a pair of ems shears at my warehouse job instead of a box cutter I'm the mouthbreathing inbred

[@Micsmit_45]

Flashlight: standard equipment Leatherman: not useful for all firefighters around the globe Harness: also not useful for all firefighters as in some countries something similar to it is integrated into the jacket. Same goes for that other thing which is standard with units that are meant to go to high up places (not every firefighter around the globe is trained to do so) Strongarm: useless if you have a bolt cutter or keys to all the big compounds in your jurisdiction. All in all none of these are a must have as they are either standard or just not all that useful.

[@j0shpena]

Micsmit 45 not all firefighters get issued flashlights. The raptor is more of a convenience then a necessity

[@Micsmit_45]

j0shpena which firedepartment does not have flashlights as standard equipment for their trucks?! That just seems stupid.

[@JohnDoe-yq5bd]

Micsmit 45 most departments that locals or mutual response areas have multistory buildings are already issue gentor belt systems that we keep on our turn out pants. This entire video is more for agencies to purchase and not individuals but the uploaded is insinuating that individuals NEED to have these things which is ridiculous

[@Sn1peralex]

John Doe Especially that strongarm. Who’s chief is going to let someone off with bringing that? It would have to be blessed by the department, and even then you’ll be told to leave that shit outside and stop playing around. Basically smaller, less powerful spreaders

[@ateeqmalik3364]

Can any body tell how much does this light cost plz!??

[@ZipHD]

Check the links in the description

[@medicone5673]

Title should be “5 things that some rich person should buy for their department”.I’ll say that the LED version of the survivor light is better than the halogen version, but A light is better than NO light. As for the other stuff.....meh. The shears are neat having an O2 wrench in them but other than being able to cut rolled gauze, my disposable shears do all of the same stuff. I’ll take a spring loaded punch any day over a manual punch and most seatbelt cutters are basically worthless from my experiences. The harness is cool for rescue. The petzl harness is neat but probably impractical for most departments. The one use I could see for it is districts with a lot of townhouses or dormers in their district.

[@absolutemattlad2701]

Why are most seatbelt cutters worthless? Is there a better alternative?

[@oliversommer8165]

7:10 he's inside alone, no hood and no water. that would never happen in a real situation.

[@Wiesel1]

[@DeafInLeftEar]

I really don't see how a two handed hydraulic tool is something that EVERY firefighter needs

[@onemanarmyorso]

it a great tool for R.I.T team but indvuales

[@DeafInLeftEar]

Dennis Kutsin I absolutely agree, it has justified use with FAST or RIT but not every single person

[@diorynovis]

Correct

[@theblizzard0415]

isnt the strong arm basically does the jaws of life and K - 12?

[@j.rmcconomy4848]

TheBlizzard04 The K 12 is a rotary saw, the strong arm is basically a mini combie tool.

[@njdevfan69]

After 30 years of professional firefighting, here are the 4 things I've found you need: 1. Water 2. A bucket 3. Time 4. A good work ethic All fires and most incidents can be mitigated given just these.

I cant wear harnesses as it makes my junk look like a historical cod piece

I would have to disagree on this stuff because our department already has the flashlight and the sizers and the repell and the jaws are almost useless your in a earth quake disaster.

[@JuanPierreOosthuizen]

From 09:32 to 09:35 doesn't make sense, you are going to have loosen your whole rig to get to the point of the rope to be able to loop it through the hook. The other end looks spliced n.

[@ZipHD]

thank you for your contribution

[@thefiremensch]

I see how you could be confused, but he just took a bight on the working end of the rope and fed it through that opening on the hook and then looped it around the actual hook. the way its shown looks a little confusing.
