As a 40-year firefighter, Ladder 49 should be #1. Not only is it the most realistic in terms of the firefighting, but it also the most accurate regarding the station life, family life and relationships and brotherhood in the fire house. As somebody who has contracted cancer through the fire service, the ending is especially hard hitting for me as that day is coming soon. Only the Brave is a close #2, but not having any experience in the wildland side of the service, I don't have a lot of comments on the relationship side of that side of the service. The fact that it was based on a true story where likely the crew made some pretty significant errors and apparently voliated some basic wildland guidelines makes it an even more tragic. As far as Backdraft it's simply entertainment with a lot of non-realistic BS, though as a fire investigator, there are some interesting aspects of that part of the movie. As a firefighting movie, Fireproof is average but as a Christian, I do very much enjoy the journey of faith.

[@ironnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

Stay strong coleague! iam firefighter in Czech Republic and i hope you stay strong and didnt quit.

[@Firefoxtony]

Look into the relationship between glucose and cancer. Cancer has 20-50x more insulin receptors. That means that when you eat carbs it makes glucose which spikes insulin and feeds the cancer. You stop the carbs, you limit the cancer and some have cured it. Do some research mate I'm positive it will help. Stay strong

love that movie...have it on dvd

[@aussiefiery]

My pick would be Towering Inferno, Only The Brave, Ladder 49 and Backdraft. WTC is a movie about cops not firefighters and Fireproof is basically a chick flick with a firefighter husband.

[@patrickharvey158]

It's a lot more than a chick flick with a firefighter husband it's a movie about faith and building a relationship built on faith and love

[@joelgomez994]

I know it’s been a long time but the movie the should be given a look see to this list was the 1974 disaster movie and big influence on me becoming a 27 year retired fire engineer/paramedic was “The Towering Inferno”! Steve McQueen as the fire battalion chief, Paul Newman as the architect. Very well done and epic movie that dedicated it to all the firefighters of the world at that time! This list though does have merit and is also very good!👍🏽🚒💨

[@tukiephotography3562]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME, why is fireproof even on there backdraft and ladder 49 are 1 and 2 NOT 4 and 2 HOW IS FIREPROOF 3

[@csnider_1281]

I concur. Only the brave is #1 for me but they should be 2 and 3 and fireproof should be no where near this list.

Currently a firefighter I like ladder 49 then fire proof

[@thefirefighter2344]

The towering inferno ???? Big classic

[@GC0077]

As much as I respect the Hotshots, Backdraft to me was the best of this list.

[@owainbengough9201]

Only the brave was such an amazing depiction of their story, but i have to agree here

[@patrickharvey158]

Backdraft is a good movie but highly innacurate when it comes to fire behavior

[@brandonmcknight4347]

Backdraft and only the brave my most favorite fire fighting movies

[@seagrave72]

Just curious how you fail to mention one the best firefighter movies of all times "Towering Inferno"

[@SafetyScout]

Only the Brave is absolutely number one, then Backdraft. I still like Always with Richard Dreyfuss and Holly Hunter much better than other firefighter family-type movies.

[@fierroerin]

Always is a slept on firefighter movie!!

[@Mcdouble123]

I agree.

[@crazyleyland5106]

I'm British, and when I watched Backdraft I noticed how several times firefighters' helmets fell off. In Britain, firefighters always do up their chinstrap when firefighting. Back when this film came out, UK firefighters either had the old fashioned cork helmets, or new half shell synthetic helmets, usually fitted with a visor. Many had the home grown Cromwell F500, but a lot had the Cairns Metro 660s and a few Bullard FXEs. Also by then, all British firefighters had fire resistant leggings (bunker pants) and I assume a lot of US fire departments still didn't.

[@jadsmvs8651]

Depends on what departments. A lot of the metropolitan staff departments had more modern equipment by then.

[@dr.paranormal1022]

Also, most firefighters and departments use different style helmets and such compared to other countries because most respect the tradition of the service, even if that means giving up lots of practicality.

[@nathanemeredith4920]

Bunker pants on at every department in the USA now. I know Indianapolis got them late 80s early 90s and all helmets have straps on them

[@patrickharvey158]

Chicago wore hip boots and long coats until around 2006-2010 then they switched fully to bunker gear they were the last department in the country to do so

[@patrickharvey158]

And as for the chinstraps a lot of the old timers refused to use them and to this day it's some debate personally if I am going interior I will do my chinstrap up when putting my face piece on on auto accidents or other types of calls I'll leave it off and just tighten the head band down and go-to work

[@austingreen4215]

1. Only The Brave 2. Ladder 49 3. Fireproof 4. World Trade Center 5. Backdraft The reason backdraft is low for me is because of the super cheesy and unrealistic firefighting tactics. Although it still is an enjoyable movie

[@charlesgardner2237]

Only the brave was a sad thing RiP guys

[@johnathenwagley7186]

Ladder 49 at 4 is crazyyyy. The most realist cinematic version of fire fighting you’ll ever see. Ask any firefighter and they would agree

Hard to decide, only the brave is definitely a much different type of view from backdraft not only because one is wild land and one isn’t, mainly because backdraft is more of a drama IMO and only the brave isn’t. But that’s my opinion on the 2 movies

[@ericrader5120]

totally is. It's a true story!

[@MAnuscript421]

Backdraft, Ladder 49, and Fireproof are my favorites. I'm trying to find a way to write a story that encompasses the faith-based love story of Fireproof with the realism of Ladder 49 and some of the firefighting moments of Backdraft.

[@space1104]

Ive seen backdraft over 100 times since childhood and its been my favorite movie for as long as i can remember, I loved only the brave but to call it a firefighter movie would be unrealistic. Those guys fight forest fires and have completely different working conditions than the normal fireman. The only 2 movies that are the closet thing to real firefighting on this list is ladder 49 and backdraft.

[@frankstaples3962]

My station does woods fires on a regular basis...almost twice the brush calls than any other station in our county and unless there's a singular incident somewhere I believe that the forestry guys lose more firefighters than the structural in most years. Those guys are awesome and their job is as dangerous. To us any station that doesn't know how to fight woods fires is next to useless.

[@bodean653]

Agreed Frank As an all volunteer dept we get them all we have a lot more woods fire than structural

[@marcusolsen9860]

Ladder 49 is number 1 at all times then on second only the brave

Ladder 49 and Backdraft are great.

[@EvanDowell1213]

The reason I think WTC should be #1 it shows the comradrie between the families and with the first responders that went in the towers to not only sacrifice their lives, but also to save thousands on that day. But what they had not known was whether they would have made it out alive or not, unfortunately most didn't make it out which makes this movie especially emotional for me.

[@HighOnLife1985]

Ok, so just want to put a few things out there. (1) Backdraft should have been Number 1, but will also give you my reason a little later in this to tell you why another movie should have been too. Aside from Towering Inferno, (which to my surprise I didn't see make the list, if not, should have made some sort of honorable mention category) Backdraft was pretty much the movie that broke the mold to make these other movies to follow later. I grew up with the movie. It was the only one I ever knew of (plus the only one around at the time). (2) Fireproof, I swear, should have made up a signed agreement to air it ONLY on Hallmark. Honestly, talk about a movie with the same cheesy cliche' "I'm stuck in a marriage with my job and don't know how to juggle them both and must decide one over the other and and and ...................." Seriously, Hallmark. (3) I don't blame anyone for thinking that Only The Brave deserved the number 1 spot (even though I said Backdraft should have been). I mean, you are talking firefighting, in the wild, with almost NO water supply in your hands, and the only water is from above. I would like to believe this job is WAY riskier than a regular firefighter BUT, I'm not saying it's the most dangerous. Each ground comes with its own consequences and battlefields.

[@cziegle3794]

My favorite firefighter movie is Ladder 49 because of its family focus, followed by Fireproof because of its good Christian backstory, then Only the Brave because of the crazy risks that go along with that job, whether the movie is real or not; then World Trade Center, though i couldn't watch the whole movie because, even though i don't live in NYC, and never have, and i was only 7 at the time and thus i didn't even know what happened when it happened, it is still terrible-plus i feel like the movie should have been a little bit better quality from what i did watch of it; then Backdraft because it's an older movie, has some average quality to it, but isn't that great from what the trailer shows.

[@petermostyneccleston2884]

I think that the 1986 film London's Burning should be on the list. There was a long running television series, which started a few years after the film. The film shows what life was like in the area around the fire station, and ended with a riot, and having the firemen going into the area of the riots, without any help fr😅Police. I do not know if it is realistic, but it is not as dramatic as Backdraft, or Ladder 49. I have not seen any of the others in this list.
