A day in the life of Toronto Firefighters [Documentary]

[Tommy_Gavin]

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.

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

Thanks to them for keeping us safe. :)

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!

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

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

Well said. You've gotta love all the people on YouTube 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 :)

[ffryan]

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

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.
