I love how the paranoid owner built an impenetrable fortress, but somehow wasn't paranoid enough to build mostly with concrete, and steel, and install sprinklers all over anything that could possibly burn, or even better, a halon gas fire suppression system.
Problem with Halon once that triggered you got very very little time to get out period, because Halon takes all the oxygen out of the air meaning you can suffocate. I worked as a contract security officer for a couple of years during my career at Fulton County Government Center one of the areas we were assigned to patrol as interior building Patrol Rovers, was the record room where court records are stored and they have a Halon system installed ., the only thing we had to do was check and make sure that the exterior and interior doors for the area were secured when you first entered the room on one of the walls was a warning alarm and Beacon period its purpose was to let you know the system was about to be activated and you had a short period of time before the system was triggered causing the room to be flooded with Halon as a fire suppression method that would not damage the records stored in the space
@@arnoldsherrill6305 umm, that's not how Halon work. It chemically disrupts combustion, and is remarkably safe for human exposure. That's the whole reason it was developed in the first place. Otherwise you could flood the area with CO2. CO2 is a well-known, well understood oxygen displacer that gets used in fire suppression systems that DOES have the dangers which you are talking about. Maybe that was the system that was installed in the records room? Or maybe the people there just didn't understand how Halon works?

1:15 actually there’s an even easier solution: just pull the release lever on the garage door opener! Garage door openers are designed so that they can be opened manually should the motor fail.

The genius of lighting a water heater bomb right beside a gas-filled car in a small, enclosed space cannot go unnoticed. "Dispatch, our firefighters are requesting firefighters."
As lil kids, my bother and cousin set a box of firecrackers on fire next to a car (it was raining and they wanted to play with sparklers) 🤷🏾♀️🤣 my oldest cousin kicked the box outside…she was 13.🙄🤣🤣🤣 “Are YOU…smarter than a 13 year old?” That’s what the show should be called 🤦🏾♀️
Obviously, the safest solution is for everyone to sit on top of the water heater and ride it through the door and into the sunset. I'm also unaware of any security system - ever, which would fail secure in the middle of a raging fire, securing the occupants and things to be secured within that raging fire. That includes many SCIFs, where top secret and above things live out their existence.
Umm, that "gas-filled car" is the least of my worries. You know what happens when steam explodes? Let's put it this way. I'd rather be in the trunk of that car with the trunk closed on top of me, sitting directly on top of the gas tank while smoking a cigarette. That's how unconcerned I am by that "gas-filled" car compared to an exploding steam pressure vessel.
This is what happens when writers have like 12 hours to write a very emotional script without the time for character anything and without repeating stuff from other episodes.
No one could've just pulled the release cable on the over head door operator. You know the one in event of a power cut that enables the door to be lifted one handed. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@Megatron Knows Ohhhhh obviously. Is that the code right after the code that says that you should never even try and touch a fire you just play around with the water hoses like children and let the buildings burn
At this point, I have to believe the pilot episode of this series had an event where every single firefighter on earth vanished, and we’re following a crew of dogs turned human who have to figure out how to fight fires using only the equipment left behind.
That water heater probably would've gone through the door (assuming they jammed every single safety valve on the thing). However, those things explode with such force that everybody in that garage would be dead and disintegrated. These writers need to watch some of the old Mythbusters episodes. They got exploding water heaters down to a science.
@@terry987654 And then it would crash through the garage door and into the rest of the crew outside because none of them knew that they were standing in front of a missile.

Have you ever noticed the nylon rope hanging off the end of your garage door opener chain? This disengages the motorized opener, allowing the door to be opened easily from the inside (or outside). Even if this is missing, the actuator is designed so that it can be pulled off its track by a Halligan bar, which is carried by every competent firefighter (there were what 2 in that scene in total?).
"if only there was a way to remove the only thing holding the garage door to the wall" Funny thing is if you look at the set in that scene (@1:09), literally nothing is holding it in place. The doors not even on the rails, no rollers ,no chain drive, hell not even the counter weight spring is attached. Its held in place with magic. (or the stagehands on the other side of it)
Respect for the property, as they didn't want to damage it. Neither by tearing the door loose or getting that pesky soot all over the inside. I'll just get my coat...
My dad hated going into old houses. He never knew if they were going to have an old pre-safety valve water heater. He did see one go through the top of a 3 story house one time.
We simultaneously got how not to get out when trapped in a garage, how to actually escape from a garage and how to turn the common water heater into a rocket. I know what I'm doing this weekend.
FYI, you'll want to look at how to defeat the safety features of the water heater to make it into a rocket. Mythbusters did this one episode, so there's where you can start your research.
Is this show still on the air? Because it never should have been to begin with. Thanks Jason for stating the obvious in such a fun and entertaining way. That show was anything but fun or entertaining. You're awesome, man.
It's called techno babble. Also when Sci-fi resorts to quantum physics and dark matter I respect them more than shows that totally make stuff up like flux capacitors. Because at least quantum physics and dark matter are real. I would prefer if they got the science right but thats usually asking too much.
@@nocare I'm totally confused by your expectation to find reality and dislike made up stuff when the literal name of the genre is science FICTION. Making up stuff is the definition of fiction.
@@crazy808ish It's science fiction not fantasy fiction; for which for my preference is hard sci-fi. The point of sci-fi for me is a fictional setting with realistic science and world building. If its 100% made up its no diffrent than magic and thus its fantasy and if its trying to use real science then I want it to be accurate. Any made up science should not contradict real science but simply explore the areas of the unknown. P.S. I like fantasy too but hard fantasy that has rules for the magic system instead of whatever the author says goes.
Okay, this makes me want to watch old Emergency! episodes. Because as dumb as some of the situations were in those, I never felt like they forgot how to y’know, use the tools they had.
Just discovered your channel I’m absolutely dying of laughter. Thank you so much for starting my day off with a laugh and THANK YOU for your service! ❤
I'm so addicted!!! I've binge watched all of your videos and me need MOREEEEE! :) As an ex-firefighter/EMT, seeing these shows getting called out warms my heart. :))))
The exploding water tank could work... if they had around 45 minutes, the tools to remove the pressure release valve, a bomb range, and have the Mythbusters as two if their members. They'd also need a way of preventing the 3rd degree burns they'd receive from their stupidity.
2:52 That brass thing rattling on the hot water heater is the relief valve specifically designed to prevent the tank from exploding. Also they don't have the heater braced against anything so it's not really going to rocket anywhere just spray super heated water and stream all over the garage
I think Only the Brave is one of the few movies that show firefighting accurately, because it was made in honor to the 19 firefighters who gave their lives fighting against Arizona's Yarnell Hill Fire and was made in collaboration with the local fire department. Firefighters risking their lives by fighting wild fires deserve far more credit than they get.
It's written by women, which means the tech advisor is either a man with loads of experience, who the women won't listen to since he's just a man, or a female firefighter, which means she was a diversity hire, never paid attention and never actually had to do any work.
@@Ziggy_Moonglow Or the writers wanted to have an accurate script but the executives wouldn't sign off on it unless they added in a bunch of BS. Male or female, Hollywood isn't known for caring about accuracy when drama is on the line.
They should bring you in for a guest spot. Just some dude from a rival dude from a precinct who makes fun of the cast and/or the episode's plotline while working with them.
I was honestly laughing out loud, in tears, through this whole thing. ALSO - is no one concerned that a water heater missile (which, really??) might HIT SOMEONE ON THE OTHER SIDE? Like, Woops! Sorry Joe! XD
They’re sitting like 10 feet away from an explosion that’s suppose to have enough force to launch a water heater through a garage door that they couldn’t even open with all of them trying to lift, shove and whatever else they could think of XD
@@briant7265 Ooh! And the overpressure! Interestingly, overpressure kills just as much, if mot more than, the shrapnel that would ALSO result from that explosion.
dont forget how they hid behind the car, which not only would be a much more logical choice for creating an exit, but also has the risk of exploding due to the explosive device right beside it.
I also like how she makes sure to put her helmet on, but then they all put their unprotected hands on top of the car, and also have their unprotected faces out in the open.
Yeah. To be honest, the firefighting and medical technique in Emergency! is unimaginably better than this 911 response crap. Outdated as it is, it was more logical. A little bit heavy on shocking right into sinus rhythm but it was way, way more realistic anyway. Better show!
@@damonminnix4660 Oh yeah, far better show. It'd be fun because firefighting has evolved so many ways that it would be funny to see the modern firefighter be like "Wait you're going to just tie a rope around your waist. Johnny, that's a 10 floor drop, it will kill you if you fall... and you still owe me $10." "Hey guys, that truck might have Hazmats, maybe we should put air masks and turnout pants on... No? Okay? Are we really doing this in our station shoes?" "Whoa, you can't just ride on the tailboard. It's against NFPA 1500... Oh fuck it, still cool as shit, make a spot. Whoo!"
The writers for Emergency had to *prove* each scenario came from a fire department log book. They could change circumstances (rescues in Florida might not work so well in LA), but it all had to be real. And they had I-don't-know-how-many firefighters and paramedics to consult.
Were they setting off an explosion inside an enclosed space? If it's powerful enough to launch a metal tube full of water through a metal door then it's probably powerful enough for the pressure to do serious damage to your organs.
I mean how do they think the thing is going to go through the door magic? It has to exert a force behind it to propel it forward you know towards where they're hiding.
Looolll they could literally use that partner saw to cut a door in the brick wall in less than 5 minutes, we cut concrete with those constantly, super easy and quick

Such a relief to find out it isn't just hacking scenes that are infuriating.
I feel like I'm learning a lot from this series of how to deal with fires.
You absolute lad with that username and PFP.
😂😂😂
Yep, use water and do the opposite of the show.
Whatever you learn from watching this show, do the opposite.
y'all, I think OP meant they're learning from Jason's series, not the show.
"if only there was a way to remove the only thing holding the garage door to the wall" Funny thing is if you look at the set in that scene (@1:09), literally nothing is holding it in place. The doors not even on the rails, no rollers ,no chain drive, hell not even the counter weight spring is attached. Its held in place with magic. (or the stagehands on the other side of it)
I think it might even have changed colors on the outside
@@Gisiebob HOW DO YOU DO THAT IN A LIVE ACTION SHOW?!
@@coffetrueno9791 by filming more than one door. or painting it between takes, because it's some dude's garage that is getting renovated or somethin
Respect for the property, as they didn't want to damage it. Neither by tearing the door loose or getting that pesky soot all over the inside.
I'll just get my coat...
@@spvillano what fire? The two scenes of a fire are jump cuts to a water heater in a completely different set.
Man watching this guy is funnier than most sitcoms n comedy movies 🍿
My dad hated going into old houses. He never knew if they were going to have an old pre-safety valve water heater. He did see one go through the top of a 3 story house one time.
We simultaneously got how not to get out when trapped in a garage, how to actually escape from a garage and how to turn the common water heater into a rocket. I know what I'm doing this weekend.
Don't forget to start a fire first, cuz the rocket will be hard to explain without a fire
@@NerdyCatCoffeeee yeah don't forget to cover your tracks and post it on social media
FYI, you'll want to look at how to defeat the safety features of the water heater to make it into a rocket. Mythbusters did this one episode, so there's where you can start your research.

@@LegoTux this killed me
The show’s ‘fancy’ terms remind me of those sci-fi movies trying to look and sound cool with all their ‘dark matter’ and ‘quantum physics’ baloney
Do you mean Sci fi?
It's called techno babble.
Also when Sci-fi resorts to quantum physics and dark matter I respect them more than shows that totally make stuff up like flux capacitors. Because at least quantum physics and dark matter are real.
I would prefer if they got the science right but thats usually asking too much.
@@nocare I'm totally confused by your expectation to find reality and dislike made up stuff when the literal name of the genre is science FICTION. Making up stuff is the definition of fiction.
@@crazy808ish It's science fiction not fantasy fiction; for which for my preference is hard sci-fi.
The point of sci-fi for me is a fictional setting with realistic science and world building.
If its 100% made up its no diffrent than magic and thus its fantasy and if its trying to use real science then I want it to be accurate.
Any made up science should not contradict real science but simply explore the areas of the unknown.
P.S. I like fantasy too but hard fantasy that has rules for the magic system instead of whatever the author says goes.
@@keirangray902 Yes. Yes I did XD
Sadly, I can only imagine what the first-time reaction to this episode was probably like. I’ll bet it was GLORIOUS.
Been binging these to lift my mood. Can't freaking thank you enough.
So you’re telling me if a fire appears I don’t have to call emergency but whip out my good old trusty turkey baster?
I think you would need to be Certified in using it and to be in command you have to be a Master Baster.
Well yeah, that's how you cook a giant turkey!

Okay, this makes me want to watch old Emergency! episodes. Because as dumb as some of the situations were in those, I never felt like they forgot how to y’know, use the tools they had.
Just discovered your channel I’m absolutely dying of laughter. Thank you so much for starting my day off with a laugh and THANK YOU for your service! ❤
It would literally take 20 seconds of the saw going brrrt to get them out of there
10 seconds if they could reach the emergency release on the garage door motor.
@@Warvvolf 1 second if they were to use the car to ram it
@@Eric-ed1zl yep this was the best comment, vroom vroom
Five if either side had just used a vehicle to ram the door off.
There's a safety tether on the chain that if you pull it; allows you to manually open the door.
"Well, we put the fire out, but then we blew up the victims house with an I.E.D. Job well done"
Hey! They saved the foundation!
And killed a couple firefighters that were standing out there cooling off the door while we were at it.
I'm so addicted!!! I've binge watched all of your videos and me need MOREEEEE! :) As an ex-firefighter/EMT, seeing these shows getting called out warms my heart. :))))
The exploding water tank could work... if they had around 45 minutes, the tools to remove the pressure release valve, a bomb range, and have the Mythbusters as two if their members. They'd also need a way of preventing the 3rd degree burns they'd receive from their stupidity.
2:52 That brass thing rattling on the hot water heater is the relief valve specifically designed to prevent the tank from exploding. Also they don't have the heater braced against anything so it's not really going to rocket anywhere just spray super heated water and stream all over the garage
*Those FFs are going to burned by steam and not by fire!*
They watched that episode of Mythbusters and thought "hey, that would be a great idea."
They skipped this part:
*Lets try to explode our water heater with safety valves removed!*
I love rewatching these makes my day, this man is amazing
I think Only the Brave is one of the few movies that show firefighting accurately, because it was made in honor to the 19 firefighters who gave their lives fighting against Arizona's Yarnell Hill Fire and was made in collaboration with the local fire department. Firefighters risking their lives by fighting wild fires deserve far more credit than they get.
These need to be longer. I understand why they aren’t, but they NEED to be.
“We need to cool down this garage to save our firefighters! EVERYBODY LISTEN UP! GATHER AROUND THE GARAGE AND START BLOWING!”
You saying they don't blow enough already?
1:20 Well since there's literally nothing holding that garage door down other than gravity, unless the door is made of lead, it should just lift up.
This is the best thing I’ve seen on UA-cam all day. I want to green screen myself into this show too.
This man deserves his own sassy fire TV show
That would be lit
The “technical advisors” on this show should be tarred and feathered.
Gues the "technical advisors" on this show are the hobo who does everything for 5 $ and housekeeper Willy with his famous Mc Gyver VHS-Collection.
You can have the best technical advisors on site, but if you don't listen to them, you get shows like this.
It's written by women, which means the tech advisor is either a man with loads of experience, who the women won't listen to since he's just a man, or a female firefighter, which means she was a diversity hire, never paid attention and never actually had to do any work.
@@Ziggy_Moonglow Where did this random sexism come from?
@@Ziggy_Moonglow Or the writers wanted to have an accurate script but the executives wouldn't sign off on it unless they added in a bunch of BS. Male or female, Hollywood isn't known for caring about accuracy when drama is on the line.
I think we need full episode reactions. This is gold! I bet your reactions to the personal drama would be just as great!
"Motorized battering ram" this is absolute gold 😂

I love you guys! Brighten my day from the start!
love how he just gets more pink and pinker as this clip goes on.
They should bring you in for a guest spot. Just some dude from a rival dude from a precinct who makes fun of the cast and/or the episode's plotline while working with them.
I was honestly laughing out loud, in tears, through this whole thing. ALSO - is no one concerned that a water heater missile (which, really??) might HIT SOMEONE ON THE OTHER SIDE? Like, Woops! Sorry Joe! XD
Me to 😂😂😂 funniest episode so far.
AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!
Exactly what I was thinking.
"Shouldn't we warn the people on the other side of the door?"
"Nah - they'll figure it out."
"Wait a minute. I just lit a rocket. Rockets explode!" -Woody
Ahh, goodness, I love this channel. So glad I randomly found it recently!
I’ve been binge watching these shorts. It’s amazing
I seriously hope the guys on this show watch these
They’re sitting like 10 feet away from an explosion that’s suppose to have enough force to launch a water heater through a garage door that they couldn’t even open with all of them trying to lift, shove and whatever else they could think of XD
Not to mention the cloud of 500° steam that going to come out of the back of it when it blows.
@@briant7265 Ooh! And the overpressure! Interestingly, overpressure kills just as much, if mot more than, the shrapnel that would ALSO result from that explosion.
dont forget how they hid behind the car, which not only would be a much more logical choice for creating an exit, but also has the risk of exploding due to the explosive device right beside it.
I also like how she makes sure to put her helmet on, but then they all put their unprotected hands on top of the car, and also have their unprotected faces out in the open.
"So if you guys wanna stop playing etch a sketch on the garage door!" Might be the funniest saying i've ever heard
I’m so glad these shows exist because it means I get to watch these videos.

@@MainMite06 Or the blue fire sales team
I'd like to see him GS himself into an episode of "Emergency!" and talk about advances in technique...and Chet's moustache.
Yeah. To be honest, the firefighting and medical technique in Emergency! is unimaginably better than this 911 response crap. Outdated as it is, it was more logical. A little bit heavy on shocking right into sinus rhythm but it was way, way more realistic anyway. Better show!
Sacrilege! :)
pornstache
@@damonminnix4660 Oh yeah, far better show. It'd be fun because firefighting has evolved so many ways that it would be funny to see the modern firefighter be like "Wait you're going to just tie a rope around your waist. Johnny, that's a 10 floor drop, it will kill you if you fall... and you still owe me $10."
"Hey guys, that truck might have Hazmats, maybe we should put air masks and turnout pants on... No? Okay? Are we really doing this in our station shoes?"
"Whoa, you can't just ride on the tailboard. It's against NFPA 1500... Oh fuck it, still cool as shit, make a spot. Whoo!"
The writers for Emergency had to *prove* each scenario came from a fire department log book. They could change circumstances (rescues in Florida might not work so well in LA), but it all had to be real. And they had I-don't-know-how-many firefighters and paramedics to consult.
Late to find FDC, and wondering where you’ve been all my life. I’m literally gasping from laughing so hard. Keep the green screen commentaries coming!
Dude you got to do more of these. Pretty darn hilarious
Were they setting off an explosion inside an enclosed space? If it's powerful enough to launch a metal tube full of water through a metal door then it's probably powerful enough for the pressure to do serious damage to your organs.
Watching this going, uh, so, you think you're gonna blow down that door, without massively injuring everyone in the room? lol.
should also say all of them are going to be deaf afterwards XD
Also water heaters have lots of safety features to make exploding one very very hard to do.
Everyone in that room would be turned to jelly the second that fuse goes off.
I mean how do they think the thing is going to go through the door magic? It has to exert a force behind it to propel it forward you know towards where they're hiding.
I want to see him green screen himself into Chicago Fire
He's done it, Go look for it. This show is just too easy because of how ridiculous it is.
@@robertpickett5243 I tried, but I found pretty much every fire fighter show except Chicago Fire
@@ghostking7853 Same here. I can’t remember seeing any Chicago Fire ones. Maybe I missed them too.
Why you gotta mess with Chicago fire..that show is ten times better then this garbage that makes no sense
The whole Chicago series is at least based on true events. So there is more realism. Not a lot, but more
You should do more like these! I learned SO much!
I don't know how I got here, but man am I glad I did, these are hilarious!
Looolll they could literally use that partner saw to cut a door in the brick wall in less than 5 minutes, we cut concrete with those constantly, super easy and quick
Barely an inconvenience
@@dethlokprime8655 Super easy
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Seeing Ryan George references makes me happy
@@markmcculfor6113 Because Ryan George references are………………..wait for it………………………….tight!
This show is through the roof with stupidity.
" Look! Venting!"
They can't be through the roof because they sealed it to baste the fire!
It's through the garage 😂
the MOST unrealistic representation of firefighting.
I'm not a firefighter, but my first shot would be to build an ied as well. Might as well go out with a bang (and traumatize cleanups for life)
Oh my God. THANK YOU for bringing this train wreck to my attention. I've never heard of this before, but I'm definitely watching it for the LOLs now.
So LOVE your green screen shots! Keep them up!
This is so much better than an ordinary reaction video. The amount of effort is ridiculous yet admirable!
This dude makes funnier content than any movie Hollywood has released in years
*Its because FDC is roasting🔥🔥 Hollywood!*
What amazes me the most is that someone approved that script.
i couldn’t ever watch this show, before or after watching this epic breakdown
2:40 lets give them benefit of doubt and say that the heat made them delirious and crazy and stupid.
But they were stupid while they were still outside
@@McPierogiPazza stupider then
They were already all three of those things. The heat just made them creative
You could actually kind of argue that the heat made them less stupid
Let's also not forget the garage door is on a chain/wormscrew mechanism that can be severed
Who woulda thunk it?
or just unscrew the bolts holding the hinges on.
The drive on the opener has an emergency release that you just pull to effectively do just that.
But, noooooo.
@@kenbrown2808 or unscrew the latch that closes/opens the door
@@kenbrown2808 Metal garage doors usually have riveted hinges instead of bolted ones. But the mounting of the rails to the walls is done with screws or bolts!
"The fire keeps growing because we can't vent it." My head exploded.
