@@SimonTekConley But when a Volunteer fire Dept cannot even afford diesel fuel after a huge fire. Buying gear is the least problems of a Volunteer Dept. Most Volunteer Department have gear that's over 10 year old.
@Jeff Herdzina I am fully aware about volunteer depts needs. You will also hear on paid dept that they don't get enough. Schools, govt, everyone says they don't get enough, and most would laugh at how little a volunteer dept runs on. I think the budget of the last dept I was on, was less than $15k annually.
I heard Fenton once put out a six story building fire on his own by jumping on top of it and slapping the biggest flame away. The rest all ran in fear.
@@FireDeptCoffee and thank you all!! Between fires 🔥☄️ and explodsions, 🤢💩 sick people, car accidents 🚗💥, heart attacks 🫀, ⚗️ chemical scenes and the 3 am toe 🦶🤕 pain FF. We get some of that but you guys got a lot crap to deal with. 🙏🏻 ❤️
I am not an EMT (my father was for a while though), but I so thoroughly enjoy your content. It's educational and hilarious! Thanks for making great content
My granny used to work for Milliken! She also built bombs for the government in WW2. I guess she spent part of her life helping stop fires and part helping start them.
I was always grateful when someone handed me a bottle of water, after walking out of a building. I hope that they removed at least 10lbs off of that gear.
Really great and entertaining way of displaying the differences between uniform fabric and how they keep you safe! You're such an inspiration! Please keep up the great videos, you're the biggest reason I'm aiming to become a firefighter! Thank you!
Milliken knows what's up! If I were a Firefighter, I'd go with the garb that can take a straight up blasting from a flamethrower. This should set the new standard, it could save lives.
Not a firefighter but work around many of them. I have heard the new stuff doesn't let you feel the heat, and when it does, it's too late and your burning up.
Not gonna lie, those compartments are actually pretty cozy. I loved hanging out in empty ones whenever we had an out of service unit in the maintenance bay. Great places to hide away and chill.
Can't say I've ever worked with a firefighter I trusted enough to let me back out of a vehicle compartment. Drug you coffee and lock you in one, however, I have met several I would expect it of.
had heat exhaustion in August, in FL doing two-a-days. couldnt finish 2nd one. rested, fluids, head in shower, about 45min back to it, but just helped with hoses.
My towns full time fire department QUIT this winter because the town refused to pay for critical repairs to equipment. They were still rocking bunker gear from the 80s, and half the trucks were out of commission pending repairs. We now rely on the surrounding towns for fire response...with an average response from the nearest town of 36 minutes.
This one looked painful. First the guy catching a water stream to the face and then Fenton being inside the storage compartment while the door gets slammed.
Having personally worn that “not the best gear” and damn near had heat exhaustion while wearing it… it’s nice to see that things have improved. I hope the military upgrades to it too but I doubt it.
So that is where you store the emergency, Fenton. I knew they had to protect that mustache somewhere. Wait....it can't be......is this Miliken fabric actually made from Fenton's mustache hairs?!?!?!?!
The only problem with fabric that breaths is the carcinogens that accompany the air. That’s why we use Lion Redzone. Like a double wrapped baked potato in that stuff. Hell I wish it breathed.
Do fireguys ever wear cooling vests under their gear? I've never worn one but have seen them,used to contract in pulpmills and overhead jackhammer among other things in areas that could reach 40+ degrees Celsius working 10 hour days. Heat stress was a real concern

I know the IAFF sent out a release a couple years ago and now officially advises firefighting companies and districts opt for PFAS-free gear whenever new gear is ordered going forward.

Fenton in the unicorn costume could be a video in itself!
😆
Alright who gave them a flamethrower???
I can't unsee that. LOL! 🦄
@@FireDeptCoffeeWhat bet did he lose?
I knew a guy named Fenton once and he was just as crazy
The fact that "Not the best clothing" is something that even gets considered shows how underfunded the services are
Huh, the hospital makes us my scrubs imagine buying gear. That be a expensive
You know you can overfund a dept by millions of dollars, and everyone would complain about how underfunded the dept is

@@jeffherdz sounds like the companies making the gear need to donate more to keep our men in the red trucks safe

that tracks
They have a flamethrower?!?!
I didn’t know that the different firefighter outfits actually mattered like that.
You guys are awesome!
Thank you so much!! Every detail is important in a field like this!
@@FireDeptCoffee My FD updated the gear just after I left (I got hurt) and it's top of the line now.
That looks more like a torch than a flame thrower cause it's not really sticking very well.
@@Shinzon23 You don't need to use napalm for something to be a flamethrower.
@@Shinzon23 the thrower isn't what makes the fire stick it's the fuel mix
I love it when Jason goes into Professor mode. Solid work, brother!
Thank you!!
With the talk about heat, I expected an ad for iced coffee.
Just some educational content 😁
Thank you! It's very interesting to learn this. I'm an EMT. No plans to be a firefighter but I still love learning about it.
Thank you for all you do!

Great advertisement. Wished all TV advertising was this good
Wow, thank you, Matthew!
If all ads were like this I'd gladly watch them.
What they didn’t show is they needed the jaws of life to reopen that door cause he shut it so hard 😂

How have I never thought about heat dissipation before? That's fascinating.

Thank you so much!
Good luck!
Thank you! 😁
Don't do it! You'll get teased constantly just because you want to wear a pink bunny costume at work when it's not even Easter 😭
was anyone else hoping the video would end with Fenton knocking on the door like a nerd in a school locker?
I did. Was expecting to hear him saying, uh guys, you going to let me out now?
@@Queina1 No it's Fenton. He would just scream that door open.

Fenton in the unicorn costume needs to be made into some kind of mobile game
Love this idea 😁😂
You can just tell he had all the fun in the world making this
Best infomercial ever.
I'm so glad you're posting more content! Love your content and sense of humor, I can't wait to save up and try your coffee!!
Thank you so much, Jenn! We can't wait to serve you soon!
FDC. Answering the questions we never knew we had
Fenton likes to nap there I imagine. Like a firehouse Harry Potter
That is the best commercial I’ve seen in 30 years
You forgot to mention how cool they look compared to police uniforms.
0:15 That blast of water from the hose had "frustration being vented" energy!
This was something else I was looking into when researching for a firefighter novel.
Cool One FDC!👍
Thank you for this. I'm going to look in yo new bunker gear for our firefighters.
"What are you gonna do?!"
That got me. XD
Not gonna lie, those compartments are actually pretty cozy. I loved hanging out in empty ones whenever we had an out of service unit in the maintenance bay. Great places to hide away and chill.
The costumes!
Also, excellent editing, and it's great seeing the rest of team.
Just heard you on EMSOne dude. I’m going to buy the station some coffee now. Keep up the good work. Love the content.
Thank you so much, we appreciate you!
Hey if you sold heat disappating fabric to cosplayers and furries you'd make a killing
Genius
Furries are already wearing cooling vests under their suits, and some have small ventilating fans in their heads.
Can't say I've ever worked with a firefighter I trusted enough to let me back out of a vehicle compartment. Drug you coffee and lock you in one, however, I have met several I would expect it of.

Fenton in a unicorn costume fighting off fireballs, that's all I needed to see in my life I guess 😂
You guys have the best toys... and the know-how not to go full-blown florida man with them.
That, and just enough down time to keep us entertained.

Kind of surprised Fenton didn't scream at the end
This is a display booth they need at FDIC
This one looked painful. First the guy catching a water stream to the face and then Fenton being inside the storage compartment while the door gets slammed.
i like the idea of those firefoam popper grenades
Navy needs this as well. The old stuff is like wearing 3 thermal blankets at once.
Loved the laugh at the very end.
Legend has it that Fenton is still inside the compartment 😂
Nothing but educational videos on the FDC channel!
Having personally worn that “not the best gear” and damn near had heat exhaustion while wearing it… it’s nice to see that things have improved. I hope the military upgrades to it too but I doubt it.
I used to be a utility lineman, and man... Let me tell you, that FR clothing was some of the most comfortable cloths I ever wore 😍
Need to see a video of Fenton in a unicorn costume!! Lol 😂
I once got to wear bunker gear for a fire safety training while I was in scouts. I felt so cool 😎
Welp, I'm sold. Don't know what occasion I'll have to wear it not being a firefighter but your pitch was very convincing!
When I first saw the Millikin logo I thought, “A fire fighting suit made with carpet?!” Lol. Guess they are in more markets than I realized.
Rumor has it that Fenton is still in that compartment...
Ayyyyyy
With my dad being a firefighter things very relatable
This really juggles my jostaberries.
The navy use the one on the left holy cow it hot
I feel like that moustache should be one of the 7 wonders of the world
❤
0:31, the poor guy got Rosco Mcqueened
You did let him out at the end right? Right? right..... Um, can we get a cadaver dog over here please?
Montag likes the flamethrower! You guys are hilarious!
Youre an awesome public educator.
Best sell ever, our boys cannot be replaced.
And how the unholy flame can Fenton be so gorgeouslymasculine in a unicorn costume?!?
Hell son I died 😂
😂❤️
I dare you guys to release the Fenton green screen video for meme creation
dont mess with guys who think risking getting burned alive or crushed to death is fun
Firefighter should always have the best, top of the line equipment. The fact that some don't is really heart breaking. Stay safe❣❣❣
Fenton’s hair is the same color as his bunkers. Fashion Forward Fenton? New show on Bravo TV? 👍🏼👍🏼
I so need mores with the uni pen NOW!!! Please!!!!
i always wondered what a common work out routine of a firefighter is
Lifting 10 cups of coffee a day 💪☕
These guys are not going to be prepared the day Fenton has had enough... The revenge will be excessive. I just hope it's filmed.
🤣🤣🤣 Fire fighting unicorn 👍
Huh I could swear I saw the fire fighting unicorn 🤔
Damn, I got hot a few months ago as a stoker for our compartment fire training.
Man once you are hot on the inside, there's no cooling down
The guy with that mustache reminds me of Leland Stottlemeyer from Monk. 🤣
😂😆
The American Ross Kemp
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This makes me want to move to a well funded fire department
So, no unicorn? That sucks, another childhood reality smashed.
What do you mean? There's one in the video 😉
Im such a need. All i could think about was a anime called fireforce
Hey, you got a Rosenbauer! - Common in german voluntary FDs
Were you planning to let the Fenton out? Asking for a friend
So that is where you store the emergency, Fenton. I knew they had to protect that mustache somewhere. Wait....it can't be......is this Miliken fabric actually made from Fenton's mustache hairs?!?!?!?!
i just watched an ad for firefighting gear that I am pretty sure i cant buy
Omg the unicorn
The only problem with fabric that breaths is the carcinogens that accompany the air. That’s why we use Lion Redzone. Like a double wrapped baked potato in that stuff. Hell I wish it breathed.
Wait… Rosebauer builds American Fire Trucks also? Cool
Where can i find a man like this, funny and extremely handsome but most of all a nan that can work around hot flashes, lol
I need a flamethrower for obvious reasons.
I like the ideal of your coffee. Is it true ? Enjoy all your videos funny and I formative same time. Keep um coming.
Thank you so much!
A fun milikin ad
"Elevate your heart rate with F D Coffee not arson..."

Wow you caught a vid of the 'mythical firefighting unicorn' . But honestly is it authentic?
Alright who gave Fenton a flamethrower
I sweat so much through my bunker gear i carry a change of cloths through my training or shift
Much love to Fenton.
