One minute he’s there the other minute he’s everywhere.
they need to add that to the Sesame Street skit about „here/there“
That needs to be on a t-shirt. 😂
He really gets around!
"Here, There, and Everywhere"
-The Beatles
Suddenly, he jumped 200 feet into the air and scattered himself over a wide area.
Honestly, the warnings on T.V about being safe with fireworks should just be replaced with this, because "Be safe" doesn't hit as hard as "We don't wanna see your body parts evenly and violently distributed all across your neighborhood".
BUT since so many bleach and Tide Pod eaters are out there none of this matters
Maybe a tie-in promotion with a salsa company. "Be safe, because the only chunky salsa you want on your chips is Tostitos, not your buddy Dale!"
@@deltavictor8369 This killed me. Thank you.
Right?! This is so much better then the warnings they show! I saw one today where they were trying to show how clothing could catch on fire but they couldn't get the shirt to light on fire 🤣
“One second he’s here, next second he’s EvErYwHeRe” 😂
“One minute he’s there, the next he’s EvErYwHeRe…”
I laughed harder than I should’ve.
Same lol
Me too😂🤣
Yeah, you think you know where that joke's headed, and then he swerves and goes someplace even funnier.
I laughed as well.
You're not alone.
For us wildland guys, please don't light your fireworks off in any dry grass, timber, or really anywhere but asphalt. July is fire season for us and it's already really bad.
Just to add to this. Asphalt may be ideal, but don’t be like my neighborhood where people throw cherry bombs in the middle of the street.
I went camping once in Baja for the 4th, in a field on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Beautiful spot but at one point, some of the idiot guys got drunk and set off a bunch of fireworks!! Not only did one zoom past my ear, almost hitting me, but they set the field on fire!!! 😱🔥🙄 (thankfully, they were able to put it out before it got too big!). Thanks for your service!! ❤️👍
That is really weird that everyone decides to light off fireworks in the hottest parts of the year 🤔
You know, @Redsuit. I bet there were idiots, that did just that. Because you know. Dumb people and alcohol doesn't really mix that well.
And unfortunately for your country, there's plenty of those.
Oh, wait. That's the case everywhere in the world plenty of dumb people here in Finland as well...
I'll just see myself out now.
@@smilygriffin1144 decides??
its called the day America officially ratified itself as an independent nation.
CT Tech here:
One 4th of July we had a patient that blew off his hand holding an M80.
He asked, "Will you guys be able to re-attach my fingers?"
To this, an old grizzled ER/Trauma nurse told him, "Sure if we find them".
Stay safe friends!
I know I shouldn't be laughing but I couldn't help it.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
@venswim I met someone over a decade ago who had weird looking thumbs. I found out from another person who knew him that those thumbs were his big toes, as his thumbs were violently removed in an industrial incident and could not be recovered.
@venswim Well you are never going to be runner after that, but you'll still be able to walk, and that's less disabling than not having working hands - better to be able to open doors and not be able to run than be able to run but not open doors.
@venswim I was too polite to ask about how he walked without big toes on his feet.
I can imagine either lots of physical therapy, and/or special shoe reinforcements to provide the springiness and support.
Sadly the question "How stupid can you be?" has now turned into a challenge for far too many people
Social Darwinism in action-death by stupidity can only do good things for our gene pool!
Sounds maudlin, I know, but I’ve been a volunteer firefighter for almost 23 years now and I’ve seen a LOT of stupid stuff!
i think we have been engineered to be dumber... for instance, parents want a viral video of their child rather than putting the phone down and preventing the goose or whatever from attacking..
not the place you wanna hear, "Hold my beer..."
As Bill Engvall used to say, "Here's your sign."

Yesterday my neighbor’s house right beside mine caught fire. The firefighters showed up very fast and were quick and professional. My neighbors are okay but they did lose the house. Because of your videos I was well aware of the danger of how fast fire could spread and made sure myself, my brother, and my cat got out of our house as fast as possible. Thank you and every firefighter for the work you do! All of you are truly heroes.
You’re welcome!
as long as the cats safe that's ok.... the Brothers replaceable probably buy a new one on the internet.
@@DivineDawn There shelters all across the country where you can get a new brother.
Dude that sucks for your neighbors. Good thing it was contained quickly, though.
wow i hope your neighbours are okay and good job helping your family!
Sometimes you really do forget how dumb some people can be if you don't work emergency services
The internet will never let me forget.
Makes for good memes though.
Oh, no, I'll never forget. I have the internet.
There's always the entertainment from the Darwin Awards.
Yeah
How do you forget that? There are examples everywhere, and the worst about dumb people is that sometimes you will find yourself amongst them, for one or another reason.
I have a family friend who is an emergency ophthalmologist, and she said her busiest day of the year is the fourth of July, because of all the explosive fragments tearing up people's eyeballs and all the drunk drivers with bits of windshield in their eyes.
There was a news anchor that lost his eye a few years ago from fireworks.
This man's acting is always top-tier hilarious. I lost it at the therapy scene. XD
Thanks dude!
@@FireDepartmentChronicles I'm thinking you were an actor on a fire department tv show and finding out the writers didn't know anythi g you decided to join the fire department and teach the writes what real fire fighters actually do.
Me too 🤣🤣🤣
No kidding! My family stopped shooting fireworks at my grandparent's home after my sister accidentally knocked over a mortar shell tube, AFTER lighting it, and, well, "launched an unprovoked assault" on our neighbor's home across the street.
Fortunately, they were on vacation that year. Any other year, and we could've had a mass-casualty incident!
What I'm saying is, PLEASE be careful, and don't leave the drunkerds in charge of setting off the aerial stuff. Okay? :-(
How about just keeping the firework on the tame side?
Always hated those irresponsible drunkards setting off their firework here on new year, but now I realize that I'm happy I don't live in America 😂 atleast we shoot relatively harmless fireworks and not bombs.
Even the really small stuff is dangerous if drunk-you is dumb enough to close your hand around it and give that pressure nowhere to go.
@@dynamicworlds1 yeah, we got people loosing their fingers every year even though you can only get the small stuff here
@@Purplehain We didn't spend lives and years kicking the Redcoats out just so we could light off sissy firecrackers.
A family in the neighborhood was setting off fireworks a few years back. There was a boom, followed by a child screaming, followed by yelling to get to the car, and then no more fireworks. I never heard what body part got injured. Don’t want to hear which one. Hearing the screaming was more than enough.
And don't play with fireworks at all if you are in a fire-prone area. Cause once you light that fuse, you have ZERO control over what happens next.
I worked at a grocery store and ended up having an evening shift on 4th of July. I memorized where all the first aid stuff was beforehand because I knew people would be coming in for it.
I can't imagine why a grocery store would have first-aid supplies scattered outside of a single aisle... It's generally a section so small you wouldn't even have to move your feet to browse through completely.
@@Edited6 There were a couple of aisles with health/first aid stuff that weren't sorted very well. I knew where all of the things pertinent to burn-related first aid were located, as well as the ice bag dispenser because early application of cold can significantly lessen the severity of the burn later on.
@@kombuchamooch I enjoy reading the more mundane experiences in people's lives, thanks for taking the time to share. You seem an awfully thoughtful person to take a grocery store job so seriously.
"early application of cold can significantly lessen the severity of the burn later on."
A reserved nerdy kid got a palpable satisfaction out of correcting my little "know-it-all" self on this in 7th grade.
Hope he remembers that as fondly as I do, failed several times to find him in adulthood.
He probably would've taught me so much if I'd have given him the safety to open up.
-Hindsight's 20-20 I suppose, get a grip on your competitive side early kids!-
You actually want to go for slightly cool or luke-warm water.
@@Edited6 That is very good to know, thanks! I will definitely keep that in mind.
Something about "keep your body parts attached to your body at all times" reminds me of the old "keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle" warning :)
they could borrow an idea from Bill Engvall & have a sign: "You must be at least this smart to use these explosives..."
Pretty sure it's supposed to
When I was a kid my school bus driver said that.. especially if a cement mixer was passing. Why? Have you ever been sucked out of a school bus by a cement mixer.
In the Philippines i remember there was an *epidemic* (thanks JUSTIN BROCKEL for your contribution to humanity) of kids (and sometimes adults) getting their hands and faces blown off during New Years. One time i was nearby a hospital ER and saw a taxi bring a kid in who had his lower jaw and left arm blown off. I vividly remember the flesh hanging from his face and arm and the copious amount of blood he was spilling on the floor. There was also an elderly woman who was with him screeching for help. After talking to a nearby guard who heard what happened i learned her teen son apparently has been playing around with an explosives grade firework which prematurely exploded. There was a time where fireworks in my country were close to being grenades with the amount of gunpowder in them. We also had a lot of cases where people were getting killed because of idiots discharging their guns on the sky during New Years. Stay safe y'all.
ah yes, the people who took "Goodbye Philippines" way too literally.
same people who thought holding Picollo was a cool party trick.
Malaysian here. Our 'tradition' used to be kids removing all the gunpowder out of as many factory-made fireworks as possible, and then shoving all of that gunpowder down bamboo tubes to make cannons.
I say 'bamboo tubes', but anything tube-shaped would do, even metal pipes.
Friction made by hands shoving that gunpowder down metal tubes... I think you can guess the results.
@@Vesperitis we also had that in the PH, used to have the rows of bamboo noise cannons lined up in the bridges, and they would be fired at new year, at times it went horribly, the breech sometimes exploded and there were wood splinters everywhere.
we also did it with PVC pipes which were alot more easier to work with, but it would result in larger fragments.
thankfully there was the fireworks ban and stuff, but man do i miss the noise.
@@Vesperitis Confetti!!! Wait, confetti...
@@nightshade4873 banningbtjem doesn't work. Implementing controls does. I'd imagine allntheybdidbwithnthat ban was getbpeope killed. After all why go to the hospital to save your arm when you can not do that and say an animal bit it off whennthe cops ask what happened. Save you time in prison.
“One minutes he’s there, and the next minutes he’s everywhere.”
Oh my goodness, that made me laugh a lot harder than I should have!
Oh right, we are approaching Grass Fire and Finger Finding Day...
I love your drunk guy impersonations!
"Listen, all ya gotta do is hold it here, then we'll light it and run, then watermel-babdldjsband-an all over the place ha ha"
"Since when does watermelon have fingers at?" 🤣
I will never forget the knucklehead from my high school days who decided it would be funny to light an M80 during biology class. From then on we called him, "Leftie."
In our area, the fireworks stands on the Reservation lands sell fireworks that outclass many municipal commercial fireworks. People are already shooting them off in the evening, and it's going to be this way for the next two weeks. Some of these are set off over 1/2 mile away and still shake the windows in the house. And yes, every year, we hear in our local news about the idiots who are now missing body parts as a result of these fireworks. Stay safe this 4th!
That sounds awesome.
My cats would hate it, but it sounds awesome.
People where I live started setting off fireworks a few day ago and will likely continue for at least two more weeks. They also do this well into the night, say 1 to 2AM ish. During the week. I'm just getting more sleep-deprived.
Most places have sound ordinance. If it's that bad you can probably report it to the city anonymously. Even if you live in a rural area!
Same here. Two weeks before until one week after. Fireworks every night. It's not even one group doing it. It's like each household has a rotating schedule on who's gonna keep the town awake that night
Depending on how close the fireworks are fans work wonders when trying to block the noise.
@@user-xy6wu3xg2c I would, but I have kids and need to be responsive to tiny humans waking up in the middle of the night. Also, we live waaaay out in the county. There's actually no noise ordinances, lol. And as somebody else said, it's a different house every night because the direction changes.
@Estria someone is practicing being a firefighter or paramedic. Even got neighbors to help you.
Know a guy who burned his hand really bad when he was a teenager while having a bottle rocket battle with his fellow volunteer firefighters. When a firefighter says to be safe, I always think "do as I say, not as I do."
Checks out. I was the fire marshal for my UAS platoon, and I was the one who generally invited the kids out to the river for a fireworks show on the Fourth.
10 years ago this July 4th, my neighbor's house burned to the ground when an illegal bottle rocket landed on the roof, burned into the attic and set the insulation on fire. My friend was the Deputy Battalion chief on the fire and rolled in 8 trucks from 3 different agencies. All he saw was a roof fire, a windy night and most of the houses on my street with old shake roofs, most are now fire proof composite.
I'm from Germany. I live in Germany. I don't really care about the 4th of July, but your video was so hilariously made, I promise I will think twice before blowing up any of my relatives.
Thank you Sir 😁
You just have to think twice about blowing up the relatives you like. The ones you don't like are fair game. :-)
I don't care much about July 4th either (also being a German in Germany :D)… but you can just replace "4th of July" with "New Year's Eve" and it applies perfectly to these parts too.
@I'm an American who lives in berlin, one year my dad and older brother had to go somewhere on Sylvester, and they had to take the bus...well, while riding the bus some one launched a firecracker under their bus... and the bus driver just sighed and shook his head
Yes sir! I'm my family's fireworks specialist and I am responsible AF. As in I get a good long distance from people, set the thing on level ground, light it and run like hell!
I should clarify, I also put it in open spaces with no obstructions.
I still remember telling my ex wife I was going to vote up an M-80 out in a big yard and how great the explosion would be.
To which she said "I thought that was a candle,I was going to light it in the bedroom!"
True story!
I wound up blowing up the m80 in the yard the next day while we both watched from a very safe distance.
The look of shock on her face was hilarious!
Please don't take this too personal - but I am glad that she is your ex-wife.
@@Jehty_ I don't take it too personal, and I think she's glad she's my ex-wife too. 😂
@@user-xy6wu3xg2c Ever since then I always wondered if it would be fun to have candles whose wicks acted like fuses. 😏
they register a 2 on the Richter scale... :D
@@jerseyjoyride1316 If someone pulled that prank on me I would shit myself, and then beat them to death _with_ the shit.
I appreciate you sharing this video PSA. There are non first responders who watch and share your videos, and as is abundantly clear from what you and FF Fenton seem to understand, humor enables us to discuss difficult topics without tensions rising to the point where we can no longer listen and process. Peace be with you.
These are awesome videos full of information on firefighting whilst being funny and humorous at the same time. From a future first generation first responder, thank you for your videos, keep doing what you're doing.
I’m not the biggest fan of fireworks partly because of people, but I also live in a small town of Montana in the valley of some mountains and people set them off and spook animals both wild and livestock. Cows break through fences and then get hit on the roads and wild animals can get spooked and run and lose their young in the panic. Not to mention the fires that can start out here. Montana has some of the highest drunk driving incidents and add explosives to that and you get a very dangerous day. Not to mention the amount of people who like firing their guns after a drink too.
Back in the late 70's my dad was working as an ER nurse while in med-school. He worked one New Years Eve. Seeing drunk guys finger painting, or perhaps more accurately: stump painting on the walls was enough for him to decide not to ever combine alcohol and fireworks, and make damn sure I didn't either. Fairly certain it was stuff like that that led him to chose psychiatry in the end.
I'm just waiting for the follow-up video where he talks about all of the people that completely ignored this advice.
I nearly choked on my coffee when he said "since when does watermelon have fingers in it?" ☕️
Need Heimlich. Choking on sandwich after hearing that line
What was even funnier was Jason sitting in that chair with shorts on that looked as if he'd wet himself.
Good timing as Canada Day is July 1st and our first responders get a spike in calls that day just like July 4th in The States.
Not quite such good timing for over here, since we usually launch small colourful artillery on November 5th, but the same would still apply. Always spikes in emergency calls because of idiots messing around with explosives.
@@233Deadman explosives and alcohol
"Wattamalloh allovahdaplace..." 🤣
There was that year my neighbors were shooting rockets that went over the hill to the highway below.
They had a police scanner so when the cops came...but I had the good fortune to speak with the dispatcher who told me, "We just had a car come in, we're sending them out now."
Thanks to the North Huntingdon police, a friendly fire artillery mission on US Rt. 30 was ended with no casualties.
One 4th of July, a friend of mine decided he wanted to throw a firecracker at some of his buddies, but the fuses were pretty short. He lit it, hauled back to throw it, and it blew up right by his ear. Perhaps he enjoyed making us laugh, because he kept lighting more in the same fashion. I guess he couldn't hear us anymore after five or six times, because he finally stopped. I don't think he ever managed to toss one.
My nephew nearly lost his fingers during the 4th of July years ago. He thought he could light, and throw, a single Blackcat that had just a nub of a fuse left. As soon as he lit it, the sucker went off in his partially closed palm. Thankfully all he suffered was embarrassment and a scolding from me.
This needs to be a PSA on television and. Everywhere else
"One minute he is there... and the next minute he is everywhere" got me cracking up
A few years back, the county road management board decided that it would be a good idea to spray the entirety of several country roads with weed killer the day before the 4th. The weed killer not only dried out the overgrown road-side plants, it was also highly flammable. Nearly burned down the county that year. Luckily nothing too bad happened.
This should be to be a nation wide public safety announcement.... In fact I think he should make all the public safety announcements.
Jason you are a true and caring patriot. I do hope you and your buddies are not over worked on the 4th July.
A few years ago a group of people saw our large backyard and lit fireworks in it. They were dangerously close to the house and very unexpected and I thought that I was going to die from one of them crashing through a window and hitting me. Thankfully everyone was alright and there was no injury. Firework booms still spook me to this day, I need to see that they are a safe distance away or I get nervous.
Please be careful out there!
You are both funny and honest about what ems goes through do ever change man you are great
" don't be dumb " , careful , some people may take that as a challenge
More like "don't be a coward". Being a young lad amongst older lads, I've done so many stupid things to prove I wasn't chicken :/
This is why if I ever decide to do anything with fireworks, I’m going to get archery lessons first. That way I can light the fuse with an arrow from a distance.
And also because archery is cool.
Have you ever seen the 1992 Barcelona Olympics flame ceremony? They did exactly that. That moment set the bar and kicked off the grand lighting of the flame ceremonies of subsequent Olympics, with each one topping off the next.
My son was a champion archer for the last 20 years of his life, and he actually did get so good, he was able to light fuses with a flaming arrow.
His death had nothing to do with archery, though he did die in a gruesome manner.
After watching a few of these videos I still can't tell if he's a comedian doing skits as a Fireman or just a ridiculously funny Fireman.
Either way they're great haha
Also dont forget, dont put used fireworks in a barrell without water! I know this from my brother in law, whos done this, 3 years in a row now
Just think, there are some people reading this right now this that have all their fingers, but next week they won't.
The best advice I ever got about being safe on the 4th. Funny and serious at the same time.
"One minute he's there, and the next minute he's...everywhere." I wish he had made the safety films they made us watch in school!
Happy 4th of July as well sir. Your doing God's work. TYFYS
Can we get One of these for new year for the rest of the world in december?
Last year we had a dude hold a mortar and fire it off until it blew his hand in half. To his credit, it was very calm for a guy only having one and half hands. The year before that we had a dude hold a mortar on the top of his head, but he loaded it upside and blew that mortar right down into his hard head. He did not have a good outcome. So I agree with the message here, don’t be dumb.
If he blew it in half, would t he now have 3 hands?
When you have half a hand. Do you just wa instead of wave?
@@JeffStewart78.. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
@@LonelyWolfe42 maybe more correctly stated that he still had “two” hands. One full hand and 2 half hands.
@@user-xy6wu3xg2c we did find his missing finger laying out in the road. Recovering the finger was a good job for the probie.
Well, I think this should go on TV across the country!
Also, if your state is currently in a drought, it's probably not the best time for fireworks.
Story I like to tell every year: Roughly 20 years ago, my neighbors down my old street were lighting fireworks, but they had the worst fuses on them. So, like sane people, they gathered all the duds together, got a canister of gasoline, poured it on the pile, and lit it... yea, bonfires are fun. Luckily, they were smart enough to put this on the street, and not in their lawn or close to their lawn. I was "friends" with one of them, he died 10 years ago.
Yes, that is definitely what any sane person would do.
A shame about your “friend”.
Was his death fireworks related?
@@ABW941 I'd be amazed if it wasn't some form of Darwin Award.
We had a full involved structure fire last 4th of July because some kid shot a firework into their neighbors gutter, which lit some spongy material they had in there to keep leaves out which eventually crept it's way into the soffit, crawl space, then proceeded to burn the majority of the house down. Be careful and stay safe everyone.
Please be very careful where you set up your fireworks, keep a close eye on the kids (even the “older” ones), have an extinguisher close at hand, and don’t use fireworks where it is illegal. Firefighters like to enjoy Independence Day too, so don’t ruin it for them.
This is really interesting, since in Finland its Midsummer party (25.6 this year) that's the reallymajor thing in summer. We don't have fireworks tho, but its always a gamble of just how many people will drown every year... also, the amount of fire/police/medical emergencies is just unfathomable.
Dude, you're absolutely awesome! :D
Your clips just keep getting better every time.
Ok the one thing that would make this even MORE epic, would be if Jason did the entire bit with a Red White and Blue patriotic latex swim cap on!!! 🤪
I love the rule I was told during my fire academy and EMS-basic was, "If you don't want to explain it to thr paramedics, don't do it"
I LOVE that line: Yeah, like, one minute he's there, and the next minute, he's everywhere!
"First he was there, and then he was everywhere." Really hit hard lol
0:30 you can definitely tell that is is hot out this summer… or perhaps the carnage of friends blowing up scared him… either way, that is unfortunate.
Gotta hope that's from a previous take.
Did no one ever tell you that it is impolite to look at peoples private parts?
@@Jehty_ lol! “Look at people’s private parts?” I prefer to think of it as admiring his glorious man-spreading technique in this particular instance.
Good message 👍😱 Happy 4th!!! 😊❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm already sick of the fireworks going off. Sad part is it will go on for another week after 7/4. Every night I got to take care of the dogs and cat and put a cover over my hives as last year they set the top on fire.
Thank you for the PSA Jason happy 4th brother be safe
Attention to detail on point... at 0:29 we can see the 15 Busch Lattes have already caused this Darwin winner to wet himself. 😂
