we dont work harder. whats with people separating us as volunteer and paid.. we work for the same goal. we are a brotherhood

[@saiyanwarriorVegeta]

Was a firefighter for six years and thinking of going back to volunteering again for it. I tell you, there is no feeling like being a firefighter. The times I did go inside, I never thought about it. The tears, the pride, the comraderie, its very hard to express. They are a second family and we know the value of life. To all my brothers and sister firefighters...Thank you.

Firemen will always have my respect for the courage they have.

This is a great tribute to some of our country's biggest heroes. While I know that the ones who are true firemen at heart do NOT do it for the recognition, but firemen truly are not recognized enough for what they do. My boyfriend is a fireman, and I have seen in his eyes what it means to him and I would never ask him to give it up. While it honestly scares me to death when he leaves on a call, I am incredibly proud of him, and I will always just support him, and wait for him to come home.

Thanks Patrick! It was a firefighter here at our station who wrote the words and a complain of footage and pictures from the year on our scenes

[@skaterose]

Damn few. Hell I don't why anyone would want to be a firemen. But I do, and I know a few. Junior firefighter , NC RPVFD station 22. Be strong and be safe brothers.

Thank You for the great video. I have been in the fire service for 16 years and this is the most moving video yet.

[@firecapt100]

Thank you guys. In Brotherhood.

[@frankdorrell1393]

Just remember everything you are feeling now, when a firefighter that you HATE so much, pulls your undeserving ass from a situation could be your last.

[@8mycrab]

I wanted something special I could post on my facebook to honor the 19 firemen lost on Sunday. I found your wonderful video.

[@joremondini4391]

GOD BLESS THEM ONE AND ALL.. PRAYERS SENT TO ALL OF THEM AND THERE FAMILY'S..!!

[@45coolslayer]

Firefighters earn their awards by saving ppl not shooting at them (I have nothing against troops) Firefighters can die when a building crashes or explosions hitting gas so don't misjudge them

[@A_RANDOM_KRIEGER]

Best video ever, all true, us at the station enjoyed it. From Commerce Vol. Fire. Dept. Commerce GA.

[@fire7655]

I completely agree with you. That guy just likes to make those comments on videos such as this one all the time. The best way to shut him up is to not acknowledge him. I personally think he has some reason to hate firefighters that he just doesn't seem to want to tell anyone.

[@robertbowers8893]

Best video I've ever seen and it describes us well

[@rhowlett89]

From Summerville fire rescue Summerville sc awesome video guys

[@SmokeyTheBearE4]

[@mcma2315]

You seem to have a hard on for something you cannot be. You also seem to like responding to those who you want to, rather than ones that make valid arguments because you know you are wrong.

Don't waste your time with him, he goes around posting on all police/fire videos trying to provoke people into arguing with him. He has nothing better to do with his time since he's a high school drop out with no job.
