damn thats a few good lines
Left on his best day to help someone on their worst
Justin Pullin what?
@Justin Pullin explain?
His best day? Dude got tied down!
@@thisguy9042 if the bonds there, it can be the best thing to ever happen to you. Loneliness and depression among older men is a hell of a thing
That's a Volunteer Firefighter for ya...hell firefighter, PERIOD.
Watching this 5 years later. Incredible sacrifice for them. Thanks for sharing this incredible story! Hope they have many years of happiness.
It's something he signed up for. At first he wasn't but when they called the all call he had to. I'm so glad his wife was ok with it.
That’s what SHE signed up for
She seems like a bitch tbh though, he is trying to do his job and she is like "no it's my wedding" almost like a brat.
The guy wasn’t the one with the problem tbh, firefighters typically love their jobs and I’m saying that as someone who is training to be one and working with them all the time. When he got the first call he wanted to go but said his wife shook her head no, then he really had to go when they got the second call. He wanted to do his job but was also trying to take his wife into consideration. Ik you wrote that comment a year ago lmao but idk here’s my thoughts
This is exactly why i made sure my wedding was far away from my district
Yep and pager...OFF
people don't understand man they shouldn't mix work with personal life
My former cheif (R.IP) was late to his wedding due to a house fire.. which belonged to the pastor officiating his wedding.
My Sister's wedding reception was at our fire hall and in the middle of dinner we heard a huge a huge explosion and the building shook. A truck carrying jet fuel had overturned and exploded in the center of the village a 1/2 mile away. Needles to say there was a good portion of the FD in attendance and we all left including the Groom and 3/4 of the wedding party and my family.
He is what we in Germany call: Ehrenmann
Definitiv/definitely
No, we call him: Absoluter vollkommender Ehrenmann.
That is a wife Who really knows like her husband love his Service and how important that is! It is a women for life
Damn hes punching above his weight with her
😂😂
Cheif boden did it first
And then got in trouble for it . . .
@@duramax3597 what happened?
Lmaoo
@@owencording799 what is lame about it
@@youssefabdo8470 L-m-a-o he didnt say lame.
Man my wife would have murdered me. We got married next door to my fire station. Luckily no jobs came out but still lol
Once an public safety employees (Law Enforcement, Security, EMS & Firefighter) it away stay with you.
I say they pick the job, you pick them... So role with there job... My dad was a LEO till I was 11 or 12 and my mom was a nurse till I was about 14.. That was my life.. She will have to get with the program in my view.
stay single than :)
TYFYS
That was a very neat video! Thank u to all the firefighters for their hard work/dedication!
Mad respect.
Congratulations sir thank you for your service God bless you both.
What a HERO!!!
what a great story
Congrats on your special day to both of you.
That’s so sweet! Thank you sir for your service!
what is sweet about it? not carring to have 1 fuqin day off for his other half? clearly he doesnt value her :)
Why did I just cry
Remember kids turn off you’re stove
Congratulations to both of you and good work brother
When the Alarm sounds we leave and go
God bless you sir
Amazing couple the bride gave up a lot on her special day. Good luck and God Bless
Well Done.
This is just badass
You have a good life brother
Great story beautiful couple have firemen and women in my family I seen what gos on that was great job u guys r awesome
For the first place she said no for the first call of emergency, show her selfishness knowing the circumstances and location of their wedding! No matter if she's the bride or not!
Thats so LIT
Whyd they even interview the photographer? She repeated 3 words we'd already heard...
Nice
Well, that's what it means to be a firefighter, especially a volunteer one. Some calls come in at the REALLY bad times, be it at dinner, in the grocery store, while in the shower, or at your wedding.
But it always shows of great honor when you still run. Because you can make sure, someone needs help, and that's why you do this. To be there and help when someone needs help.
And it becomes even better, when your wife, or soon-to-be wife, understands and actually tells you: "Go. They need you." That's the BIGGEST approve you can get!
EDIT: 3:06 Ah, that is the reason why she understands it so much... Yeah, that's really tragic and sad.
Oh I've done this in Washington State it's grass n sage brush with homes nearby. 30 yrs ago was captain and on call with 10 men n women crew call came in 30 minutes before wedding started my mother was upset my dad was asst chief he stayed at church n waited for return 4 hrs later ❤❤❤
why does it sound like they hate him for what he did for that one day? us firefighters signed up for this
I guess you could say he got hot feet...
I was s voulenteer for 12 years my wife has seen it all my wife was in labor house fire came threw eating Christmas dinner a few times radio went off of course us fireman love it just thank our spouses for being there for us and supporting us
One word its brotherhood
I got married in my fire station is 1999.
I love being a firefighter too. But come on. It’s truly not everything. Make time for yourself and family. He’s pretty much saying this job is so important it’s going to always come first.
For what it's worth, she seems to take his job seriously enough to accept it. Probably rooted in how she lost two of her own family - children, no less - to a fire. She did say, after all, that that's exactly what came to her mind when it became an all-call.
Yet his wife was telling him he needs to go. It's a mutual understanding. It was a serious call, possibility of entrapments, so it was everything to them both.
Did I hear that the kids died? When was that call and how old would they be now?
He’s got a euro, she should leave.
Probably a false alarm. You might only get married once, why go
Awesome video if it happens to me I would do the same thing
She's a good lady. Take the choice away
Ooh another plan for my wedding
start a fire and then save everyone from it
IcE.CreAm haha
I wish i could find a woman like that
Wife wouldn't have let me out the door
This isn’t heart warming or touching, this is depressing. All I see is a city not allocating enough funds and resources so they can properly staff their fire department.
You must not be familiar with the concept of volunteerism. St. Paul Park is a small city of about 5200 people with 1 fire station that covers the city as it's first due area, which is 3.6 square miles. It also helps surrounding districts, for a total of 64 square miles. They probably have a handful of paid people, and the rest are probably volunteers in order to provide good fire protection and keep taxes low. By comparison my town has roughly 3400 people in it, and the local fire department's first due area, which it covers by itself, is 140 square miles. The difference? My local FD is 100% volunteer. Do the volunteers here complain about that? Hardly ever, because they enjoy doing it. Its not understaffing or underfunding, its a choice.
Just think how traumatic it would've been for her if he would have gotten trapped in a burning house and killed that same day all because he chose to take the time off of running calls to spend personal time with her.
Can’t they get married on a day off. I thought the same thing.
@@Naturelady-rf5zx unfortunately for professional firefighters they never really have a day off because when they're not on duty they are always on call/standby for if they are needed at the station to run additional alarms during a structure fire tone out or mutual aide to other coverage areas.
@@josephbennett3482 It was a mutual understanding. I am unsure why you wrote it in such a way to make him look like a bad husband. It was a dire call, possibility of entrapments. As you could hear her in this video, "I got the rest of my life with him, you know, they needed him". The risk of injury or death in firefighting is always there, it wasn't just specially so for that one day.
You left your wedding or a call? Damn dude.. You have some balls. I'd be getting divorced that exact day.
Beauty and the beast lol
The opinions in the comment section below are reaching from 'wow what a hero' to 'wow what an idiot' 😂 Interesting to read. Let’s be honest: If he would be in that Engine or not would not make a big difference. It’s his life, but I would stay with my wife on the big day. And yes, I know what I am talking about, I do this for a living, not as volunteer.
Its a bit different when you get paid to do it.. it's your job when on shift and not when off shift .. with us volunteers its dont work that way because we know that if we dont go there may not be anyone going... I have respect for anyone who Don's a seat of ppe and goes to work but I hold my volunteer brothers and sisters in just a little higher of regard because we do it 24/7/365 not just when on shift and getting paid to .. with all due respect
Mick Morel it makes a huge difference what happens if that family did not get out with small departments like that you may only get 3 firefighters on an engine. That’s not a lot of manpower to go around to fight a structure fire trust me because I am a firefighter who works and we get 3 guys on a truck by the time that first mutual aid engine arrives on scene it’s a thankful sight to see someone is coming to help. Being in an area where there are no fire hydrants every truck that brings water to a scene is a valuable part. It’s an amazing thing to serve and be apart of this brotherhood.
Ehh...depends where you're at. We have volunteer departments to our east who won't answer their pages, so we have to cover our town of 13,000 with 4 personnel along with covering theirs. I get it it during the week when most are at work, but when they wont turn out at noon on Saturday or Sunday to pick granny off the floor, but all come out of the woodwork to go to an MVA, that's a problem.
🚒⚕️ that's what we do. We drop what we r doing to help others.
Why didn't he do this on a day he was off duty so he wouldn't be obligated to take the call?
Al Je not all halls run schedules, a lot are volunteer or paid on call (no set schedule like volunteer but you are paid for your time). These are usually smaller departments and every person counts when you don’t have much for manpower.
volunteers have no days off. the bell rings, you go.
Hold up how are you gonna be mad for someone leaving an event to fight a fire? You must be incredibly selfish to think that someone spending time with you is more important than lives that need to be saved.
Gotta love the euro helmet
Nah, we european firefighters would love to have those massive helmets from the American fire department.
[TSC] Sergeant-FJ they’re heavy and clunky. Replaced my 1044 with an XF-1, ain’t going back
@@jaysmith1408 Still, they look much cooler.. Like those from the FDNY or Chicago.
Our Helmets are mixed, mostly Schuberth Helmets, these don't look nearly as cool as yours.
BRUH CAIRNS FOR LIFE
Yerp
ewwww Euro helmets
Nice to see a US department keeping up with modern firefighting. Far better protection and tech in our helmets.
In the 100th comment
Why did he not plan it on a day he doesn’t have a shift or take one of his vacation days... thats just dumb tbh
Abe Lincoln I’m a volunteer firefighter we the tons drop for my station I leave work at go
Hayden's Special Needs Channel yep it’s very nice I’m a volunteer firefighter when the tons drop for my station I leave were ever I’m at and go to the station r to the call
Volunteers have no days off.
When ur a volunteer u dont work shifts. U get calls at anytime or day. Weither it be a holiday or normal day. I myself have been a volunteer firefighter for almost 15 yrs now. I have left family parties and missed other gathering due to the tones dropping for a call.
Shave rookie
Ew euro helmets!!
Nice to see a US fire service actually keeping up to date.
TOTAL JERKOFF !!!
huh
Bruh
Deff not a jerk off. Thats his job. Ski dude when ur house goes on fire u call those FF’s jerkoffs. No matter what were doing and those tones drop we run to help others
Ski Dude hope you don’t call them when you need rescue then 👌🏼
As a volunteer firefighter myself there have been plenty of times i’ve had to leave important events to help others.
Been on the job 5 years and despite not same time my wife never understands except texts calls to be home get home you need to come home watch kids, babysit, daddy daycare like every day off I do lay people just don't understand 😕
We do it for a comunity
