From my experience donning gear vary. Mostly if you practice alot and know what you doing it take two minutes. SCBA are hard to put on if you don't practice.
@@Khenshaw Dude this happened to me and it sucks your trying to take off gear in the truck and it aint easy beacuse you cant go inside a medical with turnouts on
It rarely happens tbh, except when you are in the shower or in the bathroom, and that is really the worst feeling in the world, talking from experience
Most of the time we have our packs and stuff on the truck, so you just put bibs, boots, and coat on, grab the helmet and gloves and get to the truck. Do the rest there
My grandpa was a firefighter and told me when someone was still preparing the firetruck would go and leave him behind. My grandpa once was left behind he was running like a cheetah across two streets to hop on the firertuck as it was going because he was late done.
I love how the enthusiasm died after it hit the 2min mark it’s went from “you can still do this you got time!!” To “yep... keep going... finish dude” lol
Clayton LaChance I know, it’s just around here the enthusiasm doesn’t die after 2min. going through the academy they said national standard was 2min but they’re standard was 1:30. So we had to have everything On and breathing air in 1:30, if one person didn’t make it they had us do laps then come back and try it again until everyone got it. took our class a while but we all got it eventually!
Kenneth Thompson it was pretty crazy, idk why the academy made their standard 1:30 considering the national standard was 2 but I can tell you it did make me a better firefighter!
I feel like the rookie realized when they were both putting their big coat on at the same time that he needed to slow up or he was going to pay for it later.
Agree, the slowness that he puts the waist strap on has to be intentional that is one of the easiest and automatic things to do, and he took forever to do it. Of course all this proves is he has a head on his shoulders and realizes it doesn't pay to outshine the boss.
The Captain wasn't as good as I thought he would be. But it's obvious that the Captain did not teach the rookie. They have Very different styles for donning. You will see most rookies throw the pack over one shoulder at a time. Guys that have been in it longer typically throw it over their head.
Captains gear is already broken in. Wear n tear etc. Already perfectly adjusted when it was on the floor. Before the video when they moved it. Hence it's eaiser to get on. Rookie knows what to do but doesn't stand a chance. His clothes are more snug and new. Not to mention he fumbles more than the Raiders.
Matt M It is my understanding that firefighter culture is “rough”, but at the same time does that make it okay necessarily? Is it that integral to being a firefighter?
Every second??? Have u watch any other clip of American fire fighters arriving on scenes at fire?? Watch them, read the vast comments on how slow they are, then come back and comment. If u cant find them, let me know and I'll post links to the VAST array of videos. And stop being an arse, I was only stating that he wasnt far behind. Ya feckin balloon.
You know that captain hasn’t only taught them well, but shown true leadership when the other crew members are cheering the rookie on even after losing and has quit in his mind
For a rookie he's doing pretty good. And his equipment pants and jacket aren't worn out and loose like the captain's. So I think he did pretty damn good and it was close.
Someone out there ruined the 69 and they’ll never come forward to announce it. He will forever live among us undetected and unpunished for this unspeakable crime
There’s a few techniques that this rookie missed that could have cut his time significantly. Such as putting both arms in the jacket and flipping it over your head. He should have also done the same with his air pack. The captain put his hood on first completely over his head, which is what I do when I donn gear. It ensures that the hood doesn’t get caught under the jacket and gets bunched up. In my first fire, I had made that mistake with my hood and when I pulled it out, the entire hood came out of my jacket and I couldn’t get it tucked back in in time. I could feel the heat on the back of my neck really good because of that.
In the fire academy a lot of the recruits are pre stretching their gloves with large Gatorade bottles since they are so hard to get on new and not broken in.
An amazing accomplishment to both of them. Thank you all for your service, today’s training has increased your likelihood of surviving a traumatic event is exponentially higher because of the dedicated training that is passed down from one generation of hero to the next.

This reminds me of when I was getting SCUBA certified and my dive master (who also happened to be my cousin) don'd all his gear in about a minute and a half because there was a sunfish in the water that he wanted to film it was legit the most impressive thing I have ever seen.
This just makes me more impressed with how fast our fire crews on my ships were. Nobody is a full tire fireman, just one extra task you take on when on a ship. Granted, we also worked as a team and would have multiple people helping the fire team suit up even faster.
i like how pumped up the captain is at the end despite fumbling around with his helmet for 40 seconds and walking off with his set not done up and hanging down like a 5th graders back pack

I came in 2nd 1:52 because I was first and was way worse the 2nd time, and our Rookie still to this day Nickmame Turtle 3:58, Everything on to perfection but still slow and steady.

I got proud when I saw this, as a rookie who does this time to time Under 2mins. I'm not a fire fighter I work as a Security officer at a highrise building and we are required to be trained and do these anual drills. My Criminology Class gave me a good lesson. My instructor is a good firefighter glad he teached us well.
The rookie is by no means slow. As a submariner, we often challenge each other at this too. Our time limit was 2 minutes as well, only difference is we have a dresser each to assist us in donning the full firefighting suit. The rookie just needs to get his steps correct. Often times, rookies would mix up the donning of face mask and antiflash gear sequence which it happened in this video. After more practices, im sure he can be as fast as the seasoned firefighter
Officers get a lot less opportunities to do this stuff since they're always stuck supervising training, managing, etc. He's still under 2, so he's good, but you can always stand to brush up that muscle memory.
@@KillerTruffle look..... I'm a capt, and as long as I will be, I'll be there to set the standard and no one, especially a new guy, will beat me at it. You gotta show example.
Captain didn’t check his purge valve, Also went on air before he finished. Going on air should be the last step! Wasting air is a no no at my department!!
Technically the captain did check his purge valve that's why the air was free flowing prior to him putting on his mask. It was already in open position and he had to close it. Im thinking maybe in your department you have to check it with your mask on? Since the purge valve doesn't operate in any way off pressure it's not required to have the mask on in our department to check it. Its also not part of the turn out drill in our department. He did cheat though the most common way i usually see the old guys cheat the probies. The Capt. didn't open his bottle all the way while the probie did. Man, when i first started we had the old school scba's that had the low pressure tube that was pre connected to the mask. So no one had their own masks you got which ever was attached to the bottle. So in live fire training you would go to put the mask on and see all the sweat and god only knows what else the previous person left. You could however throw those packs hella fast. Guys could hit sub 20 seconds.
Conner Brown I agree but they were probably just going on air for sake of the gear drill i know the SC fire academy required that you go on air yo comeplete the drill
Brett Beach agreed, in our recruit academy to complete the drill you clip onto air but the way that is taught (for us) is that going on air is the very last step to preserve air
@@brettbeach2215i agree with u. it also can be a pain in the ass to attach the regulator with gloves on (if your goal is to be as quick as possible) because it's hard to feel the notch. The only other option would be to hold your breath while you put on the gloves which we all know would never be acceptable.
Life saving advice here: Always pull your hood over the mask from the front of your face, AFTER you put on the mask. When you first put on the hood, and then the mask, you are endangered to loosen the straps of the mask while pulling the hood over it from behind! Please share and help your fellow firefighters! Greetings from Germay
Seems doable if you mask up before getting in the truck. Otherwise you can't get your hood correctly under your coat. Plus masking up lowers visibility and it will fog up while off of air which will make you look pretty stupid if you fall getting out of your apparatus especially if the public happens to be filming you.
Nope. Your flash hood needs to be under your coat and over your shoulders. Don flash hood at station under your bunker coat then mask up once on scene. SCBA is donned in truck en route.
As voluntary firefighters we are getting into the truck with our coat already on, we do not have personalized hoods. They are stored together with the masks. With our coats it is no problem to put on the mask while driving to the scene and stuffing the hood under the coat. But it seams to me that our hoods are shorter than the American models.
And due to a second, integrated mask, that encloses mouth and nose, we don't have any problems with fogging up the glass/visor. That's just an issue for us if we are wearing the hazmat suits. Again: Every firefighter should pay close attention to not loosen the mask's straps when putting on the hood.
Hehe, the real world, brother! Don your gear and do it right. My firefighter had plenty of time. In the right seat it's a bit different, listening to the radio and thinking about conditions. Multiple reports, being second on scene makes it easier. Don't care how many calls go by, still enjoy that feeling like the old days, deer in the headlights. Hehe. Still, don your hood before you climb aboard, don your coat, and relax. You can pull that hood back enroute. Old school, man. I really miss it.
YESSSS FINALLY A REAL FIREMEN SPOKE. Took my crew 21 second to get on the truck, leaving the bay. My pants, hood and radio are already on. My jacket I finish on the truck.
In reality, I say, “yes these are real fireman”. In my heart, I say, “Captain Casey and (Rookie) Ritter”. Love the video. Thanks for doing what you all do. 🤝
@@Swedishchef11 as do all fire trucks throughout the world these days but this is still a standard fire drill and turnouts/bunkers whatever you call them in your part of the world should be donned in 60 seconds add 20 to 30 seconds if the drill includes SCBA
I set my gear up the same way every time. I go, 1. Station shoes off. 2. Hood on. 3. Bunker pants 4. Flip my coat over my head putting both arms in at the same time. 5 flip my pack over my head. 6. Pack straps. 7. Bottle on. 8. Mask on. 9. Helmet on. 10. Regulator clipped in on air. 11. gloves on. fastest it’s ever worked for me is 1:06
I'm in the academy right now and I'm going to try what you said next. They want us to do the coat method for SCBA but it shouldn't make a difference. The coat over the head two arms at once is brilliant and I'll be sure to practice that. Thanks for the tips.

Technically the captain did check his purge valve that's why the air was free flowing prior to him putting on his mask. It was already in open position and he had to close it. Im thinking maybe in your department you have to check it with your mask on? Since the purge valve doesn't operate in any way off pressure it's not required to have the mask on in our department to check it. Its also not part of the turn out drill in our department. He did cheat though the most common way i usually see the old guys cheat the probies. The Capt. didn't open his bottle all the way while the probie did. Man, when i first started we had the old school scba's that had the low pressure tube that was pre connected to the mask. So no one had their own masks you got which ever was attached to the bottle. So in live fire training you would go to put the mask on and see all the sweat and god only knows what else the previous person left. You could however throw those packs hella fast. Guys could hit sub 20 seconds.
Conner Brown I agree but they were probably just going on air for sake of the gear drill i know the SC fire academy required that you go on air yo comeplete the drill
Brett Beach agreed, in our recruit academy to complete the drill you clip onto air but the way that is taught (for us) is that going on air is the very last step to preserve air
@@brettbeach2215i agree with u. it also can be a pain in the ass to attach the regulator with gloves on (if your goal is to be as quick as possible) because it's hard to feel the notch. The only other option would be to hold your breath while you put on the gloves which we all know would never be acceptable.
Way to go Captain not bad rookie better luck next time
It was very bad tho
That was awesome. Would love to see more vids
Awww this was so cute. Thank you for all the sacrifice and passion you put into your jobs day in and out. ❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I remember those days when I would have to try to beat the captain because we use have races to see who got to due the bathroom duty .
You’d never catch my captain doing station cleaning duty’s especially the bogs
I mean someone’s gotta clean I would volunteer
@@wickedsamurai5238 kissasses never get to be kickassers
When your mom asks if you and your brother are ready to go to school
Both looked pretty sloppy if you ask me, rookie would have got station duties for blowing 2 mins though haha
Random this popped up in my recommended after i passed my firefighter written exam for the Toledo Fire Department, wish me luck y’all!
aye respect, congrats & good luck my guy
mo jo 💯🤘🏽
The captain put on the oxygen tank like it was a kids backpack 😂
Bruh he even clapped at the end like it was close 😂
He didn’t clap because he thought he was close, he clapped because they don’t stop your time for a drill until you clap.
Life saving advice here: Always pull your hood over the mask from the front of your face, AFTER you put on the mask. When you first put on the hood, and then the mask, you are endangered to loosen the straps of the mask while pulling the hood over it from behind! Please share and help your fellow firefighters! Greetings from Germay
Seems doable if you mask up before getting in the truck. Otherwise you can't get your hood correctly under your coat. Plus masking up lowers visibility and it will fog up while off of air which will make you look pretty stupid if you fall getting out of your apparatus especially if the public happens to be filming you.
Nope. Your flash hood needs to be under your coat and over your shoulders. Don flash hood at station under your bunker coat then mask up once on scene. SCBA is donned in truck en route.
As voluntary firefighters we are getting into the truck with our coat already on, we do not have personalized hoods. They are stored together with the masks. With our coats it is no problem to put on the mask while driving to the scene and stuffing the hood under the coat. But it seams to me that our hoods are shorter than the American models.
And due to a second, integrated mask, that encloses mouth and nose, we don't have any problems with fogging up the glass/visor. That's just an issue for us if we are wearing the hazmat suits. Again: Every firefighter should pay close attention to not loosen the mask's straps when putting on the hood.
Been a professional for 25 years. Cincinnati. This means nothing. We grab gear get on rig on suit up on way. We are all goood to go while enroute.
Hehe, the real world, brother! Don your gear and do it right. My firefighter had plenty of time. In the right seat it's a bit different, listening to the radio and thinking about conditions.
Multiple reports, being second on scene makes it easier. Don't care how many calls go by, still enjoy that feeling like the old days, deer in the headlights. Hehe.
Still, don your hood before you climb aboard, don your coat, and relax. You can pull that hood back enroute. Old school, man. I really miss it.
YESSSS FINALLY A REAL FIREMEN SPOKE. Took my crew 21 second to get on the truck, leaving the bay. My pants, hood and radio are already on. My jacket I finish on the truck.
In reality, I say, “yes these are real fireman”.
In my heart, I say, “Captain Casey and (Rookie) Ritter”.
Love the video. Thanks for doing what you all do. 🤝
Captain was like " *you gone learn today!* "
I'm kinda confused on which one is the captain and one is the rookie.
The Remixers Red Helmet is the Captain Black is Rookie
Clean/new gear= rookie
Obviously the one in the black
Obviously no one else responding to this comment got the joke.
Red helmet is captain rookie is black helmet and the white helmet is chief
2 minutes? Around here that standard is 90 seconds. Those rookie turnouts look pretty stiff, I bet once they get broke in they’ll slide on easier.
Sam Wagner Yeah, must’ve been his very first day with the gear. This career path looks so goddamn fun.
E_man -228 until your in Australia
We have the air systems in the fire trucks seats so they only gear up the clothing and get in over here.
@@Swedishchef11 as do all fire trucks throughout the world these days but this is still a standard fire drill and turnouts/bunkers whatever you call them in your part of the world should be donned in 60 seconds add 20 to 30 seconds if the drill includes SCBA
@@mrsauce3010 that's what they sign up for
I set my gear up the same way every time. I go, 1. Station shoes off. 2. Hood on. 3. Bunker pants 4. Flip my coat over my head putting both arms in at the same time. 5 flip my pack over my head. 6. Pack straps. 7. Bottle on. 8. Mask on. 9. Helmet on. 10. Regulator clipped in on air. 11. gloves on. fastest it’s ever worked for me is 1:06
I'm in the academy right now and I'm going to try what you said next. They want us to do the coat method for SCBA but it shouldn't make a difference. The coat over the head two arms at once is brilliant and I'll be sure to practice that. Thanks for the tips.
My Gosh the things we don't know you men and women need to know when going out on calls, Much respect to all of you men and women that protect us. God Bless and keep all of you safe🙏🙏❤️👍👍💪💪💪
We do this in the Navy during training sometimes, test how quickly we can don our FFEs. It's a lot of fun!
It took him 2 mins to equip, in Romania in 2 mins the firefighters are inside your apartment, no joke, i was a victim, mad respect for them.
Maybe you were lucky, come on...
Unless you live a house away from the FD they were not there in 2 minutes 😂😂 quite literally impossible there bud
@@B48-x6u my house was getting flooded with smoke i was looking eveey 20 sec on the clock, the firefighters in Ro are mostly equipped already,on the road the cars always move aside to make space for them and they drive at crazy speeds, just like the ambulance
Firefighters: takes 2 minutes to put on heavy gear
Me: now try putting a sports bra on after a shower
I could help u whit that
Yo, i can help if u want
Wow, so many pricks in the comments.
@@duchessblack4681 just men who feel entitled to a woman's body. The usual unfortunately.
@@Kiwicat14 ok
UA-cam: want to watch firefighter putting on gears?
Me: Say no more.
I love this. and one day the rookie will be the next captain and be challenging a rookie himself
One day ima be the rookie and I’m gonna love and hate it 😭😭🤝
always remember: taking an extra second won't burn you. missing a piece will.
The captain's gear had been broken in so it was easy for him to slip into 😂😂😂
Tbh the captain was still fairly slow. Especially when he's getting into his Trousers and Jacket.
Ye okay
Micsmit 45 a lot to say right? Are you a firefighter? Probably not if your are going to be criticizing someone who saves lives.
@@joeymaschke2501 i actually am a firefighter. I haven't timed myself but im pretty quick when getting into my Jacket and Trousers. I'd like to think I'm faster but that might just be the adrenaline warping my sense of time. Im definitely slower when putting on SCBA like shown in this video (which pretty much never happens as our SCBA is mounted in the crew cab) I wouldn't have said it If I wasn't a firefighter myself.
Micsmit 45 my b, thank you for your service, my father is a fireman so this hits close to home.
@@joeymaschke2501 no worries. I get a bit touchy about non firefighters criticising our work aswell.
All that gear on in less than two minutes. Good stuff
Lol, great video and thats why he's the captain
So being captain of 20+ probably years of experience gets you 5-10 sec faster geared up... coolio xD
This is not good. As a rookie you should make a point to always beat your seniors and supervisors with this.
No one:
UA-cam Algorithm: I think people wanna see if a rookie fire fighter can put on his gear faster than a fire captain
This looks and sounds like a scene from Chicago Fire lol. Well done
This is me jumping out of bed trying to dress myself when I forget to set my alarm clock and late for work.
