What gets me is the writers of this show actually do not need to think up situations like this every week. Just have firefighters and paramedics send in their actual reports and it probably would be just as much drama and suspense.
In Germany we have the show Feuer und Flamme (and a terrible DMAX knockoff). All they do is strap a gopro on firefighters and follow them around for 2 months. Best show ever, some emotional and exciting moments, just great. Never understood these sort of dramatized shows, they are super annoying in comparison.
patient:"sure buddy i got you covered, the last Doctor on this show left one inside of my abdomen, just reach for it" Dr:"cheers mate" Patient:"oh im feeling dizzy again, good luck mate, you got this!"
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
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
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 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.
I'd watch that. I think most of the green screens would feature nurses scrolling on their phones at the nurse's station while five TV docs crowd into the exam room by themselves. Not sure why most medical shows think doctors do all the work. Doc's job is to assess patients, develop treatment plans, file orders, and chart. Nurses do the real work of patient care by implementing those orders and monitoring patient condition. Night Shift was the worst about this, not only did the docs do the work that's actually performed by nurses, they kept going into the field and playing paramedic too. Nothing felt more real in that show than the episode where admin criticized their spending.
No thanks, know it all nurses are annoying enough in real life. They do a good enough job of inserting themselves into any medical conversation on a daily basis. It always starts the same way, “I’m a nurse…” 😂
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'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 wish he'd do this for the entire show, id totally binge watch them if he were adding commentary like this threw out the whole show. love his vids. XD
The show writers actually had two of their characters chase a burning zamboni with fire extinguishers while on ice skates. This is a thing, this is real, I hate television.
Bro when that shit came on I couldn't help but laugh hysterically when they pulled that shit onscreen, was so god damn stupid. I miss the old days of having good shows to watch.
That does seem so dumb, to the level where you really can't take it seriously. On the other hand, I did like House MD., but that at least had a really interesting and entertaining main character.
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.
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)
it used to have boss music, but these firefighters already killed one earlier and we were running over budget. What? you think assets just grow on trees?
@@Fausto_4841 Oh, it's like in some games where the boss becomes a normal enemy later and loses the boss music. ... Except that's usually done to show how much the player character has improved. I think these firefighters are somehow getting even dumber.

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...
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.”
Plot twist: He is actually the consultant for this show in real life. After he gets done consulting for each episode he tells himself "Haha, I'm gonna have so much content for my youtube channel"
This is the second most unbelievable thing I’ve ever seen in a firefighter show. Number one of course goes to Denis Leary being the most desired man in NY in Rescue Me.
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.
I want to know what kind of ice they've got at this rink. A flaming object has been rolling around on it for a good few minutes, and it's not even uneven.
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).
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...
🤣🤣🤣 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 see that so often and it never fails to make me cringe. I had some students when practicing lifting go "lift on 3, 1-2-3-lift" and the caller would lift on lift. I told them if they did that, I'm lifting on 3 and you're lifting after me, which can cause some issues.
@@HenryBloggit Well a lot of sprinklers inside buildings have to be activated by high heat. The only thing keeping a fire sprinkler from coming on is a glass tube filled with glycerin that will break when high heat reaches it. That way the sprinklers don't come on where they aren't needed.
Weird fact: Most of the energy in a Zambi is used to pump the water in it,the wheels are relatively weak and veery slow,also they are very susceptible to getting stuck if ANYTHING gets under them
Honestly my question is why hasn’t the thing crashed into a wall? I’ll ignore the fact it’s still running without a driver… but how is it turning perfectly to avoid the walls without crashing? Is it part tesla?
Chicago Fire maybe more realism in their scenes. But, seen a few unrealistic dumb jokes. Oh poor Rescue Pal the misunderstood Japanese firefighting robot..
My sister works a zamboni for the Tampa Bay Lightning team at the Tampa sports forum. According to her; this entire scenario should never happen because new zamboni machines are designed to stop moving if you fall off of them; or they go up in flames. This scene made her cry laughing
@@jackalenterprisesofohio It's a big batterie, there is no cruise control, release pedal and no more movement and not only that let's assume there's an object stuck on pedal, there's a sensor where you sit that when you aren't sitting on it, it can't move. Also there's a big red button to stop everything in case something wrong that stop all electrical.
@@jackalenterprisesofohio It's a lawn mower, but more like if the lawn mower took your damaged dround and spread grass seeds around it for growing new grass in around 5-8 minutes
I love how they're literally crawling on their hands and knees to get to this guy, meanwhile i've easily sprinted across skating rinks in sneakers. Plus all the stuff they've seemingly used i'm wondering if they just left their truck at the station and ran there or something
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.
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 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. 👍👍👍👌👌👌👌🙌🙌🙌
I love how a five-year-old whose only knowledge of firefighting whatsoever was "spray water on fire, water puts out fire" would do a better job directing the tactics of these scene than a team of supposed trained professionals. Do they need to start carrying an Occam's Razor as part of the kit on the truck?

*someone lights a match* Crew : Whelp we cant use water to put that out... Crew : Whats the furthest door we can use to escape? Crew : Also do you have ladders? we forgot ours...
One time I tested out one of those "waterproof" camping matches in my kitchen sink and spent like five sad and mildly comedic minutes trying to put it out. I still feel like I was more competent than the firefighters in this show, however.
You forgot the part where they just sort of... stare at it for awhile as if expecting it to die of shame or something, before they begin to extensively discuss their options as if they have never experienced fire before and are trying to recall things they read once in an internet article years ago.
@@Rspsand07 Actually many Zambonis run on a propane tank. While they do emit CO and CO2, because of the short operation time coupled with the size of the room and the necessary air exchange rate, there is never a dangerous level of CO or CO2 build up.
As someone who drove zambonis and has had them catch on fire before, the top and sides are either fiberglass or metal. They DO NOT catch on fire, and most likely the underneath catches on fire. (ya know, where the motor is, not the water or snow tanks) Which means your PERFECTLY SAFE to drive it into the WATER PIT that every rink uses to refill and PUT IT OUT. (assuming it drives all the way there before giving out. XD )
What's even more funny is that the Zamboni is literally moving as fast as the zombies from The walking Dead and they're still not getting him off the ice 🤣🤣
"Ya know Cap, I swear I saw ladders somewhere. Oh yeah...IT'S ON THE TRUCK! ALONG WITH THE ROPE, THE WATER WE COULD BE USING, AND ANY COMMON SENSE THAT EXISTS WITH THIS CREW!" I cannot explain how hard this made me laugh😅😅
Come on, the writers are actually trying now right? It's one thing for them to have no idea what they're writing about, but writing dialogue like that makes them worse at their job than the firefighters they write about.
you are so right and I feel even dumber for not having noticed that on my first watch. I guess i was distracted by the piss poor attempt at extinguishing a 4 ton zamboni from hell with the equivalent of thoughts and prayers.

I love that every fire they encounter is apparently immune to water
And that there is absolutely no water available
If I hear "Can't use water" one more time.
Its cause otherwise 99% of the contrived incidents for the show would be solved in like 2 seconds.
So basically the most intelligent character in that episode was probably the zamboni XD.
Yep, he was running on, the best you can do when there's no way to drop and roll nor people capable of putting out fire.
Well the old lady had the right idea calling for help, how was she supposed to know they would be this incompetent.

i wish he'd do this for the entire show, id totally binge watch them if he were adding commentary like this threw out the whole show. love his vids. XD
I was thinking the exact same thing
Oooooh! "Incompetence on Ice!" That would be an awesome show that could last 142 seasons and never run out of material!!!
New episode inspiration would come from walking down the street 😂
I know right 😂
Oh my god I think this is an Ice Truckers or whatever tf that show was called reference.
I think there's a longer "show" that's been going on longer. I mean, how long has the Democrat party been in existence???
Wait its not just a Winnipeg Jets season
The show writers actually had two of their characters chase a burning zamboni with fire extinguishers while on ice skates.
This is a thing, this is real, I hate television.
Bro when that shit came on I couldn't help but laugh hysterically when they pulled that shit onscreen, was so god damn stupid. I miss the old days of having good shows to watch.
My family loves this show. I don't know why it's so cliche, boring, bland and fucking inaccurate
@@PremedComrade25 Team-A was the real shit.
Next episode will be a women with an injury singing opera and two of the firefighters have to go to the stage singing because the show must go on.
That does seem so dumb, to the level where you really can't take it seriously.
On the other hand, I did like House MD., but that at least had a really interesting and entertaining main character.
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.
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)
it used to have boss music, but these firefighters already killed one earlier and we were running over budget.
What? you think assets just grow on trees?
@@Fausto_4841 Oh, it's like in some games where the boss becomes a normal enemy later and loses the boss music.
... Except that's usually done to show how much the player character has improved. I think these firefighters are somehow getting even dumber.
@@insulttothehumanrace3807 in some games the more experience points the more reckless you get bc you know you can survive one or two hits. starting a new game is harder than starting NG+
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 love how they didn't even try to hide the door RIGHT NEXT TO THEM
It's because Station 19 is full of idiots!
That's were they send the rejects.
hell they dont even need the door LOL there is NO glass there. they could literally just step over the wall ppfbbt
I love how it’s just slowly making its way around the ice and no one knows what to do 😂😂😂
As serious as the steam roller scene in Austin Powers
My mind instantly goes to the scene in the first Deadpool. "Tell me where your boss is, or your going die... in five minutes."
I dont think I would know to react at first ether tbh.
@@TheGhostbusterfan We thought the same thing
Nothing more confusing or terrifying than a machine slowly driving itself in predictable circles in a closed space it can't get out of.
The guys who get to start the fires on those sets are living a childhood dream
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.”
Plot twist: He is actually the consultant for this show in real life. After he gets done consulting for each episode he tells himself "Haha, I'm gonna have so much content for my youtube channel"
Dude!!! Most underrated comment my man..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s called conflict of interest right there
Please tell me this show doesn’t have a fire fighter consultant lol
Practically the same as the computing consultant for the movie Hackers. That person tried how much of bullshit they would take and they bought it all.
IT'S A CONSPIRACY
"oh no the Zamboni is coming *Steps over * I'm safe."
dude they were on the ice. It hard to move instantly but still it depends if the fire is so slow.
That's why I can't watch Zombie shows. "They're coming!". Me: "Walk slightly faster"
@@slapout7 lol
seeing as he is using a green screen he should have made himself disappear and then reappear one step across with lots of after effects
I agree, Mark. However, it gets a little more interesting when the zombies can run.
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
This is the second most unbelievable thing I’ve ever seen in a firefighter show. Number one of course goes to Denis Leary being the most desired man in NY in Rescue Me.
So, you haven't seen the Texas volcano episode then?
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.
Not to mention all the other toxic lovelies that would be coming off the batteries of that thing.
it's not smoking cause it's not blue sticky fire, duh
@@andreay.s.escasa95 that is... true 👍
Never changing either. The zamboni just keeps making laps around the ice, with the same amount of fire, and not effecting anything around it. 😂
It must be Holy fire as it isnt even burning the Zamboni. THE HOCKEY GODS ARE TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING! 😂
the fact that it's on fire the entire time and no malfunctions, this machine must be a best seller
And physics defying, it's immune to friction!
I want to know what kind of ice they've got at this rink. A flaming object has been rolling around on it for a good few minutes, and it's not even uneven.
I love how he said "On 3" then proceeded to count down....
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).
“Mhh I thought I remembered seeing a ladder somewhere... oh that right it’s on the truck!!!!”
😂😂😂
That was the best part! "Do you have a ladder" 😂😂 Uh yeah Cap, there's 5 of them on our truck right outside🤦🤦🤦
right next to the rope and the water. 😂
*PURE GOLD*
That reaction felt real, like he really lost his patience for this crap.
Are we sure sure about this? I wouldn’t be surprised if somehow they didn’t have a ladder on their truck. 😅😂
“Sorry crew, due to budget constraints, we’re cutting back on some of our common sense.”
"Please get in line for your complementary lobotomy !"
Ah, budget constraints. That's probably why they don't have, you know, a ladder.
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...
🤣🤣🤣 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.
1:53 "On three" And he starts counting at 3, Ingenious
I didnt even notice that xd
I was waiting for him to call them out on that!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s what we call “incompetence above ice”
Haha! Good catch
I see that so often and it never fails to make me cringe. I had some students when practicing lifting go "lift on 3, 1-2-3-lift" and the caller would lift on lift. I told them if they did that, I'm lifting on 3 and you're lifting after me, which can cause some issues.
Ya know theres this amazing thing that buildings like these are legally required to have, called sprinkler systems. And they are quite effective.
I guess the sprinklers never activated because there was no smoke coming from that burning zamboni.
@@HenryBloggit or the fact that it's probably not burning hot enough for the sprikles to activate
@@limysyenpai537 This is the better answer.
@@HenryBloggit Well a lot of sprinklers inside buildings have to be activated by high heat. The only thing keeping a fire sprinkler from coming on is a glass tube filled with glycerin that will break when high heat reaches it. That way the sprinklers don't come on where they aren't needed.
This would only work if the zamboni stayed parked under one long enough.
Ya know what puts out plastic?
"WATER!"
I'm dying! 😂
I love this series!
I can not believe how truthfully he speaks on these
I know it's a minor detail compared to everything else, but "Okay, on 3! 3, 2, 1" also got me
Weird fact: Most of the energy in a Zambi is used to pump the water in it,the wheels are relatively weak and veery slow,also they are very susceptible to getting stuck if ANYTHING gets under them
So you could put a chair in its path and the job would be half way done.
@@kurotsuki7427 from what they have told me, you could TREATHEN the Zamboni with putting a chair in front of it and it would stop
You could throw some toothpicks on the ground and get it stuck.
Honestly my question is why hasn’t the thing crashed into a wall? I’ll ignore the fact it’s still running without a driver… but how is it turning perfectly to avoid the walls without crashing? Is it part tesla?
@@leocervidae How about that it's somehow running when it's fuel source is presumably on fire/destroyed?
Apparently I have found a new (to me) format of your content that I never knew I needed. This is amazing.
I never knew this show existed and I was happier then.
Green Screen yourself into chicago fire, has an actual fire fighter that's part of the cast and I want to see how realistic they keep it.
See you can't make fun of CF as they actually somewhat put effort into the show but they do have to TV it up a bit
@@foxgaming1767 they do
@@foxgaming1767 yep lol
Chicago Fire maybe more realism in their scenes. But, seen a few unrealistic dumb jokes. Oh poor Rescue Pal the misunderstood Japanese firefighting robot..
That would be good
My sister works a zamboni for the Tampa Bay Lightning team at the Tampa sports forum. According to her; this entire scenario should never happen because new zamboni machines are designed to stop moving if you fall off of them; or they go up in flames.
This scene made her cry laughing
@@jackalenterprisesofohio its a lawn mower that wont mow the lawn
@@jackalenterprisesofohio It's a big batterie, there is no cruise control, release pedal and no more movement and not only that let's assume there's an object stuck on pedal, there's a sensor where you sit that when you aren't sitting on it, it can't move. Also there's a big red button to stop everything in case something wrong that stop all electrical.
@@jackalenterprisesofohio It's a lawn mower, but more like if the lawn mower took your damaged dround and spread grass seeds around it for growing new grass in around 5-8 minutes
This must be either the coldest battery fire in history or the most heat resistive ice on Earth.
My mom (A long standing Registered Nurse) has similar reactions every time she watches a medical show.
I love how they're literally crawling on their hands and knees to get to this guy, meanwhile i've easily sprinted across skating rinks in sneakers. Plus all the stuff they've seemingly used i'm wondering if they just left their truck at the station and ran there or something
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.
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.
I don’t know anything about Fire/Rescue but even I know there’s always more than one door onto an ice rink.
You got to wonder how that Zamboni got inside rin... of course the Service entrance.😂
even worse when they moved the dude to the opposite side instead of the one they are on... -.-
And I don't know much about ice rinks, but that door wasn't that hard to spot..
At least 6, plus the larger double door for the ice machine to enter/exit. 🤦
Let's see...standard rink has two doors at each bench, two penalty box doors and at least a zamboni door....can't find one guys.
Oh no the Zambonis coming..🚶🏾♂️..im safe. Lmaooo that was hilarious
This brings me so much joy. I would seriously watch whole episodes.
“We’re gonna need to use ice skates” 😂 wtf? that’s a straight Batman and Robin moment.
Holy inconvenience on ice batman
No skates needed, but the struggle to find 2 brain cells to rub together among that entire crew is real. 🤦
"Quick! To the firepoles!"
"Quick! To the Batfiretruck!"

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!
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
Why did you stop it there, id love to see a firefighter on ice skates chasing a fire
i would pay good money to see incompetence on ice become an actual thing
...Set to the proper music, of course! This could outsell Disney On Ice!
@ivan igesias jamart no ones job is more important than fire fighting ice skaters
I love my fire shows, but I love coming here and watching you evicerate them even more.
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.
Best ventilation in an arena ever, no smoke from a fully engulfed Zamboni.

I love how a five-year-old whose only knowledge of firefighting whatsoever was "spray water on fire, water puts out fire" would do a better job directing the tactics of these scene than a team of supposed trained professionals. Do they need to start carrying an Occam's Razor as part of the kit on the truck?
They'd use it to intubate conscious patients

*someone lights a match*
Crew : Whelp we cant use water to put that out...
Crew : Whats the furthest door we can use to escape?
Crew : Also do you have ladders? we forgot ours...
Thank you for summarising the whole show
One time I tested out one of those "waterproof" camping matches in my kitchen sink and spent like five sad and mildly comedic minutes trying to put it out. I still feel like I was more competent than the firefighters in this show, however.
You forgot the part where they just sort of... stare at it for awhile as if expecting it to die of shame or something, before they begin to extensively discuss their options as if they have never experienced fire before and are trying to recall things they read once in an internet article years ago.
"Is it gas powered?" What do you think, sherlock? We're indoors
@@Rspsand07 Actually many Zambonis run on a propane tank. While they do emit CO and CO2, because of the short operation time coupled with the size of the room and the necessary air exchange rate, there is never a dangerous level of CO or CO2 build up.
This is the most contrived rescue scenario ever. A FLAMING ZAMBONI!
This was the best commentary I've heard all week 🤣
As someone who drove zambonis and has had them catch on fire before, the top and sides are either fiberglass or metal. They DO NOT catch on fire, and most likely the underneath catches on fire. (ya know, where the motor is, not the water or snow tanks) Which means your PERFECTLY SAFE to drive it into the WATER PIT that every rink uses to refill and PUT IT OUT. (assuming it drives all the way there before giving out. XD )
What's even more funny is that the Zamboni is literally moving as fast as the zombies from The walking Dead and they're still not getting him off the ice 🤣🤣
*_Love this guy's energy pure entertainment..._*
"Ya know Cap, I swear I saw ladders somewhere. Oh yeah...IT'S ON THE TRUCK! ALONG WITH THE ROPE, THE WATER WE COULD BE USING, AND ANY COMMON SENSE THAT EXISTS WITH THIS CREW!"

Moral of these shows: “Lets take out a fire in the most non logical way possible!”
I like how no one noticed what this guy said at 1:54.
*”on 3.”*
*”3, 2, 1, go”*
They waited until 1 to spray not 3.
This is why I hate TV shows.
So it's still the most realistic scene 😂
I like play pals playing octodad
"OK ready on the count of 3 ready? ...3"
Come on, the writers are actually trying now right? It's one thing for them to have no idea what they're writing about, but writing dialogue like that makes them worse at their job than the firefighters they write about.
you are so right and I feel even dumber for not having noticed that on my first watch. I guess i was distracted by the piss poor attempt at extinguishing a 4 ton zamboni from hell with the equivalent of thoughts and prayers.
why even count down? just spray the thing when its in range. it's not like you have to do a coordinated ambush spray
You are having SO much fun! I love your vids!😍
