best part is if the zambooni is magically just turning with the wall instead of loading the guy up in the center where he was safe they moved him to the wall whch would be in its path
water axes jaws of life fire engines sexy callenders ice skating dont be silly everyone whos ever had a toy fireengine knows the ladder doesent come off the top DUH
Honestly that zamboni is an engineering marvel. Still running while engrossed in electrical fire, and it’s also part Tesla..? It’s completely automated and able to detect walls and turn instead of crashing into/thru them. Yet is able to barrel thru people (it knows the difference obviously). Honestly at this point I’d also be scared to chuck water on it… it would just serve to piss it off more and it would start straight up attacking you. It might even call it’s zamboni backup
I used to work rink maintenance and public skate safety for a few years. The area where the zamboni goes when it comes off the ice has big garage doors to the outside (to dump snow). They could probably even bring the fire engine through there all the way up to the ice, or at least right outside. Easy access, simple solution. ALSO, our rink at least always had ice grippers, basically rubber soles you can hook around any shoes with spikes in them so you can walk across the ice safely. There would be no problem at all to use these to get the guy off the ice and get to the fire
If the firefighters in my town were so underequipped that they didn't have boots with enough grip to handle an ice rink or had to ask for a *ladder*, the next time I have a fire in my house I'd just say "... Well, short life and a merry one" and just accept my death rather than call these buffoons. Also, to someone who has worked at an ice rink, I feel compelled to ask: is it typical of ice in a rink to be so strong that a flaming object can be rolling around on it for several minutes and not even get uneven in spots? That's what's bugging me about this scene.
Yup! When a hockey player is seriously injured, an ambulance can usually meet him/her at the Zamboni gate. Granted, my local rink makes it really hard, but if there were a fire, they'd find a way.
Roughed up ice isn’t even hard to run on in sneakers. Iv sprinted across an once rink before in normal shoes without slipping at all because it had been awhile since the Zamboni had come around.
Just think about this: Someone thought this scene up, let's call it writer A Writer A probably proposed this Idea to a room full of People and they were okay with it. At some point a Producer had to see this scene and was like: "I'm okay with this" At another point the one filming this had to see this scene and was like: "Yeah makes sense to me" The actors also had to be like: "Yeah whatever" Between all those People Noone! Objected to this! Or if they have they were ignored.
I've worked as maintenance in an ice hockey rink, you could literally drive a fire truck onto the ice. You know through the same door the Zamboni gets on the ice, or use the literal fire hoses used to flood the rink to make the ice. But I get it tv.
I worked as private security a couple times at the civic center in Amarillo. They had an event where all the fire fire trucks, police and ems were all there on ice for a career day event. This guy is telling the truth.
You forgot that the writers will need a 2 camelbacks- one full of water and one full of coffee- and they’ll watch (and drink) as the writers’ assistants lift them safely to the second floor. Then they’ll complain that the coffee was too cold and the water was too hot. And how dare the assistants (who are busy trying to breathe and not die) get them non organic, non vegan, non gluten free coffee. And they forgot the almond milk!!!!! And now the writers have to use the bathroom, so it’s time to take them back downstairs.
I bet their excuse for their shoddy writing is "We wanted to capture a more realistic 'What would you immediately do in this?' scenario scene in order to bring out the emotion behind it"
I love how this zamboni is engulfed in fire, really bad looking fire btw, and yet there is not a hint of smoke coming off it. This thing should be belching black, toxic gas from all the burning plastic, rubber and oils.
A flaming zamboni feels like in MMOs when they don't know how to make an enemy more seemingly powerful, organically, so they just assign it a random element like "flaming zamboni" and give it some extra attack damage (it's hard to hear over the actual firefighter flaming the episode, but I'd swear it even comes with boss music)

People literally walk out on frozen lakes all the time if the ice is thick enough. I understand if they dragged him out because they don't want to risk falling and taking the patient with, but they should at least be on their feet and like crouching?
It's best to have someone with skates making sure you don't fall. Even medical staff in the NHL almost always end up with a ref or player grabbing their arm or holding their back to ensure they don't fall. It's just a safety thing, hell, they clearly wanted to skate in this scene anyways, should just had 2 put on skates and send 4 on the ice with the board.
You know, this legitimately sounds like a satire of an emergency drama show you’d see a character in a sitcom mention. “Hey guys you check out the new episode, the Firemen fought a flaming Zamboni by skating around it with fire extinguishers.”
This is beautiful. You are the voice I have yearned for every time I watch a show that is just to silly to allow my suspension of disbelief to be stretched any farther.
I've worked 2 years on ice rinks. And not knly can you WALK on that ice without slipping. You can easily jogg or even run, if you're careful. Also, EVERY ICE RINK (or most), USUALLY COMES WITH A HOSE, LIKE A FIREMAN HOSE! That's how they make the ice most of the time.
@@jasonvoorhees6152 normally or carefully with either wide sole boots OR BECAUSE IT IS AN ICE RINK they usually have a spike sole you can put on your boot and then take off when youre done.
My duty boots are fine on ice, give maybe 30 seconds max and they're chilled enough to not melt the ice under them and they grip just fine. It's actually one of the things I look for, as otherwise a cold snap in our Pennsylvania winters and I'd be spending that winter flat on my ass. Well, that and it's one of the few times per year when I can actually walk on water. I'll just get my coat...
Hold up, spotted something else. They are using the basket board when there is a spine board RIGHT THERE 1:47 . If they are so worried about moving the victim because of possible spine injury... well it is in the fucking name! Basket boards are great, but you need to move the victim quite a lot to get them onto it and they were clearly struggling to do so properly due to the ice (presumably).
@@angrydalek "'Not the captain" The crew shows up for his shenanigans fairly often "They know what they are doing" Ever heard of a parody? Or acting?

I'm just trying to imagine how I'd react if a team of firefighters turned up seemed less capable of putting out my fire than I was, then asked me for a ladder...
Ya...you know what happens when plastic burns? Do you know what happens when plastic burns indoors? Do you know what happens when firefighters breath plastic smoke indoors? But...hey.....they've got on their N95's So...all good
Another question: how is the Zamboni still going?? Presumably it takes several minutes for the FD to arrive, then we get the whole scene. So does that mean it drives while on fire for like 10-15 minutes? I've seen cars roll while on fire but that's just when the brakes give out before the tires turn to mush. They don't keep driving perfect circles because all those mechanisms would've melted... Maybe this thing keeps going because it's battery powered by the energizer bunny?
Besides the blaringly ridiculous problems with this, these types of machines run on big Lithium Ion batteries, and it would be burning for quite a while. With that being said practically the entire machine is hydraulically driven and it would have crapped out once the line was burst. It really does not like to move unless you are pressing the accelerator either
It is caused by Narrativium The most common element on the disc, although not included in the list of the standard five: earth, fire, air, water and surprise. It ensures that everything runs properly as a story. For example, if a boy has two older brothers, chances are they will go on a quest. The first will be strong, and fail because of his stupidity, the second will be smart, and fail because of his frailty and the youngest brother will then have no choice but to go out, succeed and bring fame and fortune to his poor family. This phenomenon is also known as Narrative Causality. Dragons breathe fire not because they have asbestos lungs, but because that is what dragons do. Heroes only win when outnumbered, and things which have a one-in-a-million chance of succeeding often do so. The application of this phenomenon appears to be governed by some loosely formulated laws.
🤣🤣🤣 It must be *hilarious* watching these kind of shows with you. I like to make my sister, a hospital lab tech, watch CSI: Miami just to watch her lose her mind. "How the hell can you see the lab results with all of that mood lighting?" "Oh, sure, I'll get you those DNA results in an hour IT TAKES OVER AN HOUR TO GET THE SAMPLE PREPPED, KAREN!!" 🤣🤣🤣
During CSIs golden years, not only did patients come in thinking they would get instant test results. They were quite dumbfounded when they were told some of the tests and machines on CSI had not yet been invented.
(In a humorous manner and with no ill intent) Maybe if your sister was better at her job she’d also have a tv show made about her, Tell her to stop being jealous of other peoples ability to do her job better than her 👍🏻👍🏻😂
@salim_abid_ My hospital spent heaven knows how much on a computer system that didn't work right. Patients all think that all computers can talk to each other. Our clinic computers wouldn't connect to the hospital. Patient's would get irate at being asked their meds. "My doctor's office has my list." I thought one patient was going to hit me when I tried to explain and tell him he should carry a list. By the way, the doctor sort of has your list. The office tech is supposed to update your list each visit. Each visit, they say "are these your meds" and I say "well those two I haven't been on for at least ten years, which I told you the last time I was here." If you really want to know the meds call their pharmacist.
i played hockey at this rink for years and can yell you that there's 1: a door on the half wall next to the benches for the home team 2: there's also two other doors that probably aren't locked that would make for great alternates off the ice. 3: the glass in that arena breaks monthly, anything hard and fast hitting it will shatter it and you can just hop the boards.
Fire Department Chronicles, I am so sorry that show is making a mockery of the fire department this way. It’s a relief that you are there to correct us and them as well!
"Oh nooooo. This zamboni is coming at me. *What EVER* shall I DO?.... It's still fifteen feet away... thirteen.... eleven... yep. Still waiting." I showed my mother your channel, she loves your videos immensely, and is incredibly thankful there's still SOME people out there with common sense.
how about a video of your firehouse sitting around watching this show for the first time. Gut reactions live. I can see the beer and popcorn flying everywhere!
Until recently I have not been allowed in the room while my wife is watching one of her “firefighter” TV shows. Evidently she does not appreciate me sharing any reference to real firefighting that might ruin her viewing experience. I took a chance and played this video for her without explaining what your RUclips channel was about. She laughed through the entire video and when it was finished I posed the question “why is it funny when he says it?” All she could say was “I don’t know, but you’re right, it was funny from him”. So now because of your RUclips channel I’m allowed to be in the room while she watches ridiculous shows about fantasy fire departments. Thanks brother, keep up the good work!
your first mistake was letting her think the room was hers to kick you out of.. rummage around in your y fronts and find your wedding tackle and that wont happen any more..
She should / could get a job as a volunteer fire fighter or a dispatcher and experience the job. I compare TV fire departments to fantasy football, drama & fluff.
I think maybe the difference is that was the point of the video, whereas if she's actually watching the show, then the point is to enjoy the show. I too would be irritated if I was watching something and someone offered unsolicited commentary on how unrealistic it was. Frankly I don't know anyone who wouldn't be annoyed by that.
The real MVP of this scene is the ice rink, I mean, imagine having a huge flaming vehicle on top of you and not melting! Although I'm not familiar with ice rink ice, so maybe I'm mistaken and it is plausible.
No that's pretty accurate. The ice will melt where the wheels drive over it, but for the most part it'll be fine. Unless they turn up the heat for the whole facility or something
you can tell the idea for the Zamboni being on fire came first, and everything else simply had to be built around it no matter how little sense it made
“Oh no! Zamboni is going to get me!!” Moves to the side 😂😂😂. Thank you for making fun of these shows, they make us all look like idiots. Are you telling me not one person pointed out the damn door right next to them? 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
As someone that played hockey my whole teenage life. I know alot about the ice. It's really not that Slippery for one and two.. If the zamboni was out to cut the ice then the ice probably had alot of traction. This could have been really easy to walk out and get him hut they're sliding all over the place.. It's not that hard to walk on it lol
Well, the actors for the show actually went to some EMT classes, did everything short of actually taking the tests to get certified (missed opportunity, imo), and did extensive ride-alongs with LACoFD so they would know the proper procedures and know how to work the equipment they would be using (The station Capt and Marco were ACTUAL fire fighters, iirc). For this cast... I dunno, maybe they're just following script and director, and hamming it up
Gotta love that smart steering on that flaming Zamboni keeping it running in a nice oval instead of crashing into the boards and catching the whole rink on fire
Oh my days! You're hilarious!!! I've only recently discovered your channel but it is brightening up my days!!! Keep on keeping on! And thank you for all that you do as a firefighter. 👍👍👍👌👌👌👌🙌🙌🙌
Has anyone writing that episode actually been anywhere near a hockey rink? You can quite easily walk on the ice and There are quite often spike things you can put on your shoes at those rings if you are somehow unable to walk on it otherwise.
Clearly the writers have never been to the snow belt in winter, you can find those cleats in most drugstores where I live but the writers apparently don't even know they exist.
If I ever see a flaming Zamboni on ice, I would stand around and watching it, for several minutes. Completely memorize by such a sight. Like witness pigs with wings actually fly.
You don’t even know how much I enjoy you tv commentary. I watch these shows and give feedback and I am not even a firefighter. We build houses so a lot of times I will say “ok, so I am supposed to believe that when they built that they insulated the interior walls. 😂

Maybe the operator never taught it to leave the rink when it’s done.

I love how that Zamboni burns so cleanly, literally zero smoke
I mean, I can appreciate that the fire is so eco conscious.

It's best to have someone with skates making sure you don't fall. Even medical staff in the NHL almost always end up with a ref or player grabbing their arm or holding their back to ensure they don't fall. It's just a safety thing, hell, they clearly wanted to skate in this scene anyways, should just had 2 put on skates and send 4 on the ice with the board.
The key MO of all these shows is that the truck and all its equipment is purely decorative. None of them ever use anything on it.
Some handful of sand (which they should have on their truck) and the ice is no longer slippery.
I’m one of the most uncoordinated people I know, & yet I’ve been able to play broomball on ice in my sneakers.
You know, this legitimately sounds like a satire of an emergency drama show you’d see a character in a sitcom mention. “Hey guys you check out the new episode, the Firemen fought a flaming Zamboni by skating around it with fire extinguishers.”
I know it's a minor detail compared to everything else, but "Okay, on 3! 3, 2, 1" also got me
This is beautiful. You are the voice I have yearned for every time I watch a show that is just to silly to allow my suspension of disbelief to be stretched any farther.
All that’s missing in this insanity is having Deadpool riding that thing.
Well someone keep turning the wheel to keep it from hitting and stopping on a wall. LOL
"Where’s Francis?”
Who do you think started the fire
@@Kotani9005 Another one of Deadpool's suicid* attempts failed horribly, and here's how 9-1-1 idiots dealt with the consequences of it:
You mean you didnt see it?
I've worked 2 years on ice rinks.
And not knly can you WALK on that ice without slipping.
You can easily jogg or even run, if you're careful.
Also, EVERY ICE RINK (or most), USUALLY COMES WITH A HOSE, LIKE A FIREMAN HOSE! That's how they make the ice most of the time.
How do you walk on ice? Love to know that.
@@jasonvoorhees6152 normally or carefully with either wide sole boots OR BECAUSE IT IS AN ICE RINK they usually have a spike sole you can put on your boot and then take off when youre done.
@@jasonvoorhees6152Or… you just walk! Seriously, it’s not that difficult. Anyone who lives in a cold climate has to walk across ice once in a while.
"You need skates to go on ice. What are stupid?" - hack writer from LA
My duty boots are fine on ice, give maybe 30 seconds max and they're chilled enough to not melt the ice under them and they grip just fine.
It's actually one of the things I look for, as otherwise a cold snap in our Pennsylvania winters and I'd be spending that winter flat on my ass.
Well, that and it's one of the few times per year when I can actually walk on water.
I'll just get my coat...
I’d genuinely go see the show “FDC Green Screen…
…ON ICE!!!”
combine this with Smoking-Eating Spider-Man and you'd get FDC Green Screen Turn Off the Dark ON ICE
Hold up, spotted something else. They are using the basket board when there is a spine board RIGHT THERE 1:47 . If they are so worried about moving the victim because of possible spine injury... well it is in the fucking name! Basket boards are great, but you need to move the victim quite a lot to get them onto it and they were clearly struggling to do so properly due to the ice (presumably).
Imagine he roasting his own crew in real life situation 😂😂😂
Wouldn’t happen because

"'Not the captain"
The crew shows up for his shenanigans fairly often
"They know what they are doing"
Ever heard of a parody? Or acting?
"He's too busy doing his job to be standing around like that"

Capt: do you have any ladders?
Me: you're the freaking fire dept, why ask me this?
Who read this script and thought "good job, film it!"?
I wanna know how the zamboni drives straight, turns, and then drives straight again.
@@wcresponder or clever people who know what the viewers want to see.
Best ventilation in an arena ever, no smoke from a fully engulfed Zamboni.
these are like little gold video nuggets, I try and not watch them all back to back so its a little treat for myself. These are amazing
I'm just trying to imagine how I'd react if a team of firefighters turned up seemed less capable of putting out my fire than I was, then asked me for a ladder...
That is the most smokeless vehicle fire I have ever seen. Also what if it was a Zamboni engulfed with Blue Sticky Fire.
Ya...you know what happens when plastic burns?
Do you know what happens when plastic burns indoors?
Do you know what happens when firefighters breath plastic smoke indoors?
But...hey.....they've got on their N95's
So...all good
Oooooo plot twist!
If you look on RUclips for "Zamboni fire" you will find a real one on fire.
And it doesn't have to much smoke either.
The guys who get to start the fires on those sets are living a childhood dream
Another question: how is the Zamboni still going?? Presumably it takes several minutes for the FD to arrive, then we get the whole scene. So does that mean it drives while on fire for like 10-15 minutes? I've seen cars roll while on fire but that's just when the brakes give out before the tires turn to mush. They don't keep driving perfect circles because all those mechanisms would've melted...
Maybe this thing keeps going because it's battery powered by the energizer bunny?
Besides the blaringly ridiculous problems with this, these types of machines run on big Lithium Ion batteries, and it would be burning for quite a while. With that being said practically the entire machine is hydraulically driven and it would have crapped out once the line was burst. It really does not like to move unless you are pressing the accelerator either
@@SomeRandomFella12 Not to mention the friction of the ice and rubbing against the wall.
It is caused by Narrativium The most common element on the disc, although not included in the list of the standard five: earth, fire, air, water and surprise. It ensures that everything runs properly as a story. For example, if a boy has two older brothers, chances are they will go on a quest. The first will be strong, and fail because of his stupidity, the second will be smart, and fail because of his frailty and the youngest brother will then have no choice but to go out, succeed and bring fame and fortune to his poor family. This phenomenon is also known as Narrative Causality. Dragons breathe fire not because they have asbestos lungs, but because that is what dragons do. Heroes only win when outnumbered, and things which have a one-in-a-million chance of succeeding often do so. The application of this phenomenon appears to be governed by some loosely formulated laws.
@@MrRobinhalligan THANK YOU!!!! I didn't expect a Diskwork reference when I came here.
And why isn’t the rink filled with smoke? Cleanest burning Zamboni ever.
I'm not convinced the Common Sense for this department is stored on the truck.
They have common sense?!
🤣🤣🤣 It must be *hilarious* watching these kind of shows with you. I like to make my sister, a hospital lab tech, watch CSI: Miami just to watch her lose her mind. "How the hell can you see the lab results with all of that mood lighting?" "Oh, sure, I'll get you those DNA results in an hour IT TAKES OVER AN HOUR TO GET THE SAMPLE PREPPED, KAREN!!" 🤣🤣🤣
During CSIs golden years, not only did patients come in thinking they would get instant test results. They were quite dumbfounded when they were told some of the tests and machines on CSI had not yet been invented.
(In a humorous manner and with no ill intent)
Maybe if your sister was better at her job she’d also have a tv show made about her, Tell her to stop being jealous of other peoples ability to do her job better than her 👍🏻👍🏻😂
@salim_abid_ My hospital spent heaven knows how much on a computer system that didn't work right.
Patients all think that all computers can talk to each other. Our clinic computers wouldn't connect to the hospital.
Patient's would get irate at being asked their meds. "My doctor's office has my list." I thought one patient was going to hit me when I tried to explain and tell him he should carry a list.
By the way, the doctor sort of has your list. The office tech is supposed to update your list each visit. Each visit, they say "are these your meds" and I say "well those two I haven't been on for at least ten years, which I told you the last time I was here."
If you really want to know the meds call their pharmacist.
This must be either the coldest battery fire in history or the most heat resistive ice on Earth.
Not only do the show writers know nothing about firefighting, but they also apparently know nothing about zambonis or how they function.

Ues
Yes!
1:00 I saw that face he made when he said water and I had to take a break I was laughing so hard
i played hockey at this rink for years and can yell you that there's 1: a door on the half wall next to the benches for the home team 2: there's also two other doors that probably aren't locked that would make for great alternates off the ice. 3: the glass in that arena breaks monthly, anything hard and fast hitting it will shatter it and you can just hop the boards.
“Oh no it’s coming”
* moves legit one step to the right *
“I’m safe 👐”
I can not believe how truthfully he speaks on these
"do you have any ladders" ok that part had me yelling at the screen, even 6 year olds know firefighters are all about ladders
Truck, ladders, hoses, firefighter 101
Fire Department Chronicles, I am so sorry that show is making a mockery of the fire department this way.
It’s a relief that you are there to correct us and them as well!
My mom (A long standing Registered Nurse) has similar reactions every time she watches a medical show.
"Oh nooooo. This zamboni is coming at me. *What EVER* shall I DO?.... It's still fifteen feet away... thirteen.... eleven... yep. Still waiting."
I showed my mother your channel, she loves your videos immensely, and is incredibly thankful there's still SOME people out there with common sense.
I never knew this show existed and I was happier then.
how about a video of your firehouse sitting around watching this show for the first time. Gut reactions live. I can see the beer and popcorn flying everywhere!
OMG HAHAHAHHA I'd DIE to see this 😂
@@emirachelnatalie3397, which is why he won’t do it. He doesn’t want to be responsible for your death. 😋
This is the most contrived rescue scenario ever. A FLAMING ZAMBONI!
The "oh no, the zomboni is coming" part is what make me laugh so hard my back dislocated a disk i think. I am loving this!
There's a reason that in Austin Powers this vehicle being used to kill someone was treated as a joke...
Until recently I have not been allowed in the room while my wife is watching one of her “firefighter” TV shows. Evidently she does not appreciate me sharing any reference to real firefighting that might ruin her viewing experience. I took a chance and played this video for her without explaining what your RUclips channel was about. She laughed through the entire video and when it was finished I posed the question “why is it funny when he says it?” All she could say was “I don’t know, but you’re right, it was funny from him”. So now because of your RUclips channel I’m allowed to be in the room while she watches ridiculous shows about fantasy fire departments. Thanks brother, keep up the good work!
your first mistake was letting her think the room was hers to kick you out of..
rummage around in your y fronts and find your wedding tackle and that wont happen any more..
She should / could get a job as a volunteer fire fighter or a dispatcher and experience the job. I compare TV fire departments to fantasy football, drama & fluff.
I think maybe the difference is that was the point of the video, whereas if she's actually watching the show, then the point is to enjoy the show.
I too would be irritated if I was watching something and someone offered unsolicited commentary on how unrealistic it was. Frankly I don't know anyone who wouldn't be annoyed by that.
You know what all ice rinks have? A reliable source of water at high pressures and volumes. You know, to make the ice.
I can just imagine one guy standing there, doing nothing else but rant at the other guys, and going completely unheard
The real MVP of this scene is the ice rink, I mean, imagine having a huge flaming vehicle on top of you and not melting!
Although I'm not familiar with ice rink ice, so maybe I'm mistaken and it is plausible.
It would get wet slick spots where the flaming zamboni passed over, but ice is pretty good at staying cold.
No that's pretty accurate. The ice will melt where the wheels drive over it, but for the most part it'll be fine. Unless they turn up the heat for the whole facility or something
@@PeterJavi and the moment the zamboni moves to another side the ice will freeze over again
well it IS shaving as its melting so its probably a really nice surface to skate on.
Thank you ! We need more videos like this pointing out EASILY AVOIDABLE incompetence in entertainment !
you can tell the idea for the Zamboni being on fire came first, and everything else simply had to be built around it no matter how little sense it made
😂😂
Watching 1 single episode of Station 19 made my gag and appreciate Third Watch and Rescue Me 100x more
this is the best series I've found on youtube in awhile, its hilarious to see actual logic put to these shows so bluntly
This reminds me why I haven't watched television in about 7 years.
I'm just glad someone is speaking out about the danger of zamboni fires
“Oh no! Zamboni is going to get me!!” Moves to the side 😂😂😂. Thank you for making fun of these shows, they make us all look like idiots. Are you telling me not one person pointed out the damn door right next to them? 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I don’t know why these started popping up in my feed but I’m so happy they did!
As someone that played hockey my whole teenage life. I know alot about the ice. It's really not that Slippery for one and two.. If the zamboni was out to cut the ice then the ice probably had alot of traction. This could have been really easy to walk out and get him hut they're sliding all over the place.. It's not that hard to walk on it lol
The zamboni being on tracks kills me, also I think what's impressive is how someone could think this was a good idea/scene.
I lost it at "OR you could use this door right here". Hilarious. And a really, quite remarkably smoke-free fire.
I can't get enough of these. This is just pure gold. I'm so glad I watch FDC as opposed to cable TV, lol.
Deadpool approves of this scene. Zambonis are great murder weapons... in like 5 minutes.
Is it me or is the lack of brain cells becoming more evident from writers in every firefighter show post "Emergency!"?
Definitely. Emergency is the only fire/ems show my husband and I can watch because the shows now are just too idiotic
Well, the actors for the show actually went to some EMT classes, did everything short of actually taking the tests to get certified (missed opportunity, imo), and did extensive ride-alongs with LACoFD so they would know the proper procedures and know how to work the equipment they would be using (The station Capt and Marco were ACTUAL fire fighters, iirc).
For this cast... I dunno, maybe they're just following script and director, and hamming it up
Randolph Mantooth FTW!
Gotta love that smart steering on that flaming Zamboni keeping it running in a nice oval instead of crashing into the boards and catching the whole rink on fire
"Water is out of the question" Right on a machine that literally sprays water...
Oh my days! You're hilarious!!! I've only recently discovered your channel but it is brightening up my days!!! Keep on keeping on! And thank you for all that you do as a firefighter. 👍👍👍👌👌👌👌🙌🙌🙌
Man we needed this to be longer 🤣🤣I wanted to see them chase it on ice
Has anyone writing that episode actually been anywhere near a hockey rink? You can quite easily walk on the ice and There are quite often spike things you can put on your shoes at those rings if you are somehow unable to walk on it otherwise.
Clearly the writers have never been to the snow belt in winter, you can find those cleats in most drugstores where I live but the writers apparently don't even know they exist.
Has anyone writing for this show ever been anywhere near a real firefighter?
This brings me so much joy. I would seriously watch whole episodes.
Why not just bring the patient to THE OPEN DOOR THEY USED TO GET IN! At 00:37 seconds you can see the door
Hands down this is in my top 3 funniest vids from this channel.
"Oh no, the Zamboni's coming! " *takes one step to the right* "I'm safe." 😂
My father watches these shows and you hands down make me piss myself laughing at your commentary!
The 9 dislikes are the writers of the show. Lmao
22 now. Director, producers, and actors/actresses joined in
89. They got some family involved
I understand your pain! Whenever my profession is portrayed poorly in a film or TV show, I end up yelling at the screen. Fantastic video, mate!
Why is nobody talking about him saying “on 3” and then counting FROM 3? 1:54
How did no one from production or the writers, or the actors, or directors, or editors, catch that?
I am now irrationally angry
Because our brains cells are dying faster than our ears can keep up watching this.
If I ever see a flaming Zamboni on ice, I would stand around and watching it, for several minutes. Completely memorize by such a sight. Like witness pigs with wings actually fly.
I'm suggesting to my chief that we show clips from these shows at training night
You don’t even know how much I enjoy you tv commentary. I watch these shows and give feedback and I am not even a firefighter. We build houses so a lot of times I will say “ok, so I am supposed to believe that when they built that they insulated the interior walls. 😂
The 5 Ds of dodging a zamboni gets me every time
As soon as the flaming zamboni appeared I was on the floor laughing 🪑🤣
Jason cant extinguish the flame, because, *the zamboni was covered in sticky orange fire!*
I love the dude at 1:53 he literally says "On three. Three two one." Obviously someone forgot how numbers work
Does anyone else find it really hard to eat and drink while watching anything this guy does. This is the funniest stuff I have seen in a long time!
The outtake at the end absolutely cracked me up. "Oh no, it's coming." *takes a small step to the side* "Magic."
Just press this number 02:07 every three seconds and prepare for endless fun :D
