I've been in the fire service for over 30 years. So proud to be apart of the brother/sisterhood of this wonderful group of people from around the world.
Brotherhood, this is the definition of the fire service! God bless the Baltimore City Fire Department for its loss, God bless the families of the fallen and God bless the many departments that stepped up and covered Baltimore City so all could be there one more time for their brothers and sister! RIP guys!
A few months ago, we had a city PD officer killed in the line of duty. Nearby agency PD and Sheriff units covered the city for about a week. County and nearby city fire crews covered city fire’s shifts so they could attend the memorial service. Volunteer fire companies including myself were allowed to work traffic control for the service, where we saw law enforcement agencies from halfway across the country. It was a moving, humbling experience that I hope we never have to see again.
Just when I start to think that humanity is trash, then something like this happens. There is good in this world. It may take tragedy to see it, but that when you need the good the most.
This is WAY above and beyond paying there respects and sending there staff and units to stand in for Baltimore in there time of greatest ever need. I hope they never have to do this for others and I hope Baltimore City never needs this level of help ever again'
Moments like these are great for experience as well. These firefighters will be more familiar with the area and personnel if a large scale incident occurs.
Thats the beautiful thing about being a firefigther/Paramedic/Police officer, its not important where you come from, what race you are or what religion you belive in. We are all one big family that will always help each other out. Super proud to be a part of this incredible family. Greetings from Germany.
Depends on where you are, I guess. I remember talking to local firefighters who expressed such visible disgust about volunteer firefighters. It was really disappointing.
Emergency workers ( EMS/Fire/PD) we are family when one of us goes down others step up and help however way they can for our sisters and brothers ... we may all carry a diff badge but we are FAMILY (Familia)
I know it's not quite the same scale as the twin towers which everybody heard about , but why was this not publicised more ? I just came across the video while scrolling , these firefighters are super heroes , what they do for a living most of them just pass it off as an everyday job , but come on people , where on earth would we be without them , RIP TO THE FALLEN ,RESPECT AND CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILIES AND COLLEAGUES LEFT BEHIND , AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL ,
It's sth we did in EMS as well and offered another EMS provider to staff their unit so that ALL of there members could attend service; Of the originally 2 hours planned we staffed it 4 hours. As we has an incident in our own area most of us went to attend the service, only a small crew had to stay back at the station; But then we went in a convoy heading to the station, so also the members which had to remain on shift had a chance to see the hearse
I'm so sorry they passed away rip we will never forget what you 3 did to protect us my condolences go to the family me and my daughter ment what we said to the news they shouldn't have lost there lives that day or any day the vacant houses drugs and homeless its got to stop don't wait for the next tradegy to do something that's why we vote I see nothing at all being done now when they pass you all want to have something to say get up off you're asses and do something
I even have two firefighters from around the world to come to Baltimore and several other locations to Lost firefighters and police officers I even asked some police officers if passed away in New York several other police departments to fill in for the police officers and New York and several other states also even firefighters from around the world I'm sorry I did not attend their funeral because I really knew him very well I was the one who talked him into being a firefighter I have been handling everything across the world and I am trying to keep peace across the world also
As it should be the job is the same across the board i would do it for anyone here when the city is hurt from losing one of its own we gotta help that city heal
Lot of times the apparatus (newer ones) have the onboard computer system, most likely they can connect them somehow to Baltimore's dispatch system and get the GPS working for responses. Not sure if they did that, just an honest guess. I know some stations had like Dunkirk Truck 5 and DC Rescue 2 and so on, and probably was a massive scale of some confusion and internal organizing.
Emergency vehicles have what's known as a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) which gives them the call type and location then the crew enters into their onboard GPS the dispatch address and it helps them find the scene and if it's a fire call the crew has a list of fire hydrants in the vicinity of the dispatched location so they can connect to. Then if all else fails and the crew isn't familiar with the area the dispatcher will attempt to direct them over the radio on what roads to take. But often fire departments have several sets of maps for their coverage areas that they can pull out and do the old way of navigating if the GPS isn't helping.
@@ericschuh9394 There's this website called Google Maps. You may have heard of it. Try doing a route from Oakland (Yes, it's in Maryland) to the intersection of Rt 40 and I-83. Hint : 3 hours, 3 minutes. Even if you just go from Oakland to I-70 and I-695 intersection it is 2 hours and 43 mins. Do you want to try again ?
@@ericschuh9394 You said "I'll be honest. There's really no place in Maryland that is more than 2 hours away from Baltimore. Hagerstown is just under 1.5 hours". Garrett County has proven you wrong. Your statement didn't single out fire service.
Just because it's the first time that you reported on something like this doesn't mean that it's a first. I have seen departments from all over the state do mutual aid for a department that has lost firefighters. I guess the Midwest is just ahead of the Eastern departments.
I asked it several firefighters from several different counties to fill in for a couple of firefighters it was out of work that way they could attend attend a funeral is for the firefighters who lost their lives I asked you to fire several firehouses in Hagerstown Maryland and several other firefighters throughout Maryland and maybe even Virginia and West Virginia also I even asked a firefighter from New York and even from California to fill in an even a first grader from Florida also
Assistant Chief Stonestreet can look however he wants because he did his years of rushing around , firefighting takes a toll on the human body and becoming chief and assistant chief causes obesity if they are sitting at their desk more.
Starting February 21st 2022 every agency is going to be doing the same thing the same thing that you all are doing now starting now every agency all across the world in all across the United States
Putting a whole city out of service for guys who didn’t even know these people? It’s not like those 3 people knew every medic and firefighter that showed up. Just lower your flag or something.
I don't think you have any idea about how big Baltimore Fire Department is , they are a group of guys that respond on calls together every single day and the guys that filled their positions did it so they can attend the funerals for their fallen brothers , these guys selflessly volunteered so the guys from the City can be together. Firefighters are one big family that's why you sometimes hear the word Brotherhood when it comes to firefighters , EMS , and Police because they all treat each other like family and when one loses their life in the line of duty it's very heartbreaking for them and they help each other out during their rough times.
The call said people were trapped, multiple people if I remember right, the building was vacant of renters or owners that very definitely doesn't mean it's empty. Many of Baltimore's and honestly most cities "vacant" houses catch fire from the people living there every winter. Those people are still worthy of saving especially little kids.... this is a City and State issue too they need to make it easier to auction off those properties most are just standing around.
The chief was not the first officer on the scene, the call to enter the building was made by the captain on the first arriving engine company, according to the chief they understood that there were obviously homeless people inside in order to have started a fire to stay warm due to the extremely cold conditions, there was no power or utilities turned on to the structure and there had been a fire in that building several months or years earlier according to reports. Its a tragic loss and a shame it takes this for the politicians and red tape is put aside and property owners are called to be responsible for death traps left standing! More shelters and more code enforcement!
Don't think you understand what career firefighters do for a living , unlike volunteer firefighters.... Career firefighters don't get a day off work because that is their job they work for hours upon hours weeks upon weeks and they sleep at their station away from home. Whenever there is a Line Of Duty Death (LODD) it takes hard hit to the men and women because they all work together every single day and they are like family and the whole department takes a shift off to do the Firefighter Funeral Service and escort their fellow deceased brother to their final resting place.

This was an unprecedented mutual aid drill for a city like this, but one that Baltimore really needed at a moment like this.

Wow look at the response from the volunteers the true hero
That's what being a fire fighter is all about its a brotherhood we always look out for each other.

Now that's pretty damn cool,....way to go everyone!!!

Who was the funeral for?
That’s freaking awesome!!!!
Wow, that is commendable for them to do this so the city crews could attend the funerals.
RIP KNOCK ON WOOD SOON I'LL BE WITH YOU
Kentland is pissed they didn’t make the news
This is a great story! I often wonder how crews from out of town know their way around? I guess the dispatcher gives thime directions.

Several Western Maryland Fire Dept's assisted as well. Some drove 2+ hours.
I'll be honest. There's really no place in Maryland that is more than 2 hours away from Baltimore. Hagerstown is just under 1.5 hours

Ocean City in 2:45 away from Baltimore, even Delmar the company on the thumbnail is 2:15 away.

What major midwest city has done something like this?
They put the city at risk
That's awesome
Damn, I wish staff and volunteers worked that well where I'm at. It's just a dick swinging contest here.
1:31 fucking ricky riley. holy shit he's everywhere.
And then in Cali where this is regular for actual fires.....
I asked it several firefighters from several different counties to fill in for a couple of firefighters it was out of work that way they could attend attend a funeral is for the firefighters who lost their lives I asked you to fire several firehouses in Hagerstown Maryland and several other firefighters throughout Maryland and maybe even Virginia and West Virginia also I even asked a firefighter from New York and even from California to fill in an even a first grader from Florida also

Why did they go in a bldg that so many fires before this was terrible from the Chief to put those firefighter in harm's way for empty blg

Anyone who claims that a building is vacant or not is an idiot. You can't tell me if there's people in there or not without doing a physical search.
Just should not be allowed. People can pay their respects but there is a time and place.
