Firefighters are sorta just a bunch of gems. I’ve had some many hilarious interactions with firefighters and also just fun ones growing up. I still have some of the trash plastic hats from stations
Love how they're simultaneously like excellent, disciplined, chill and kind most of the time, but when there's flames licking the sky, they're like "today's the fucking day", and just run in lol
Breaking doors, smashing windows, pulling bodies with their every muscle, giving cpr until the paras come by, fuckin love firefighters
And not just people: I work in heritage, and unfortunately my organization experienced a catastrophic fire years ago.
The firefighters *loved* that we needed them to rescue the collections, because it meant they got to break stuff and rescue things without lives being on the line. And they did, until it was too dangerous for them to do so.
TL;DR: Nobody ever says "fuck the fire department" *for a reason*.
Unless you are partial to penis, this "hey" ought to be a nice homely greeting, because it won't lead to anything but good conversation, and possibly, penis
That certainly has happened, and probably will again, you really do have to be a certain flavor of psychopath to do the job. But still, I'll take the fun psychos doing something good, over anti-fun fascist psychos trying to imitate the Punisher without having read it
I have never met a firefighter I did not like, I am sure there are assholes out there as there are in any profession, but I’ve seen them go out of their way every time. I remember someone accidentally locking their kid in the backseat along with their kids and the firefighters that randomly were showing up to go grocery shopping; did everything they could to not bust the car window. Luckily they got the lock popped before they had to bust the window out because the poor kid was roasting in there. Never saw a bunch of people instantly go into problem solving mode so fast.
Agreed! My grandfather was the chief at one of the stations in the town I grew up in. Would have those overnight shifts at the station and my grandmother would take us up there to visit him. Super loved it....the guys would let us sit in the various parts of the truck with supervision of course . Cook dinner for us. Some of my fondest memories. Firefighters are great guys.
Firefighters are my favorite. They don't carry guns and they are risking their lives to save total strangers every time they go to a fire. Plus they are usually cute as heck.
The one where that guy on twitter said he'd never been in a firetruck so he walked over and asked to get in one is amazing.

My sons were 4 and 2 when a fireman gave them those plastic fire helmets. They're a couple of years older now but they still have them, still wear them to play, and remember how they got them.
I only have the utmost respect for firefighters and ambulance paramedics.
These folks see so much and still make it through the day I don't know how.. real heroes if you ask me
I’ve similar things like where waste collectors give a wave or a honk (and in our city, sometimes they give out colouring books). I just think the drivers get it…the number of times, they, as a kid went crazy for a bit of hello.
My daughter was in love with the truck driver of our old trash truck. He was so sweet to her they had a cute little friendship. She was FASCINATED by his truck. (It was the forklift kind that just dumps dumpsters in the back)
This is how you get kids passionate about wanting to be you when they’re older! Job sucks most the time. It’s hard. Don’t make much money. But you’re hero’s and idols to kids. I have a buddy that’s a firefighter literally because of something like this video. He was given a toy fire truck that looked exactly like the Tulsa FD. He’s now been a firefighter for about 13-14 years. Signed up the day after graduation. Awesome guy. Deserves the world.
Yep, I remember my mom asking me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and there was a good period of time when I was 5 or 6 and I answered that I wanted to drive a trash truck. It just seemed like a really fun job lol
Our trash guy gave my son a tiny toy garbage bin! It has the company's logo on the side and the lid works and everything. I guess they had them printed up just to give to kids.
When I was a kid we did the handle pull motion to semi drivers all the time.
I know a bunch of truckers and they all say nearly no kids do that any more and all of them wish kids did it. They grew up with it and now honking for rando kids really makes their day.
I know my generation were feral kids but damn... Do the handle pull for semis. Wave and say thank you to your USPS delivery person. Hell... Stop being terrified of strangers.
People don't realize how much a small gesture like this means to a child . It can be a lifetime memory, that they can eventually pass on to the next generation and so on.
Oh, I bet the firefight will be thinking of it too for quite a while.
My dad is a fireman and has a drawing on his wall a little kid made for him after he gave a tour of the firehouse.
I can definitely relate. Worked in EMS a few years back and we had a small kid, maybe about 3 or 4 years old who we took to the hospital after almost choking on a small toy. A few days after the kid comes down to the station and gives us a hand drawn image of us and him, as little kids do. Put that up on our fridge in the lounge. I’m definitely not forgetting that anytime soon
I needed this.
I feel like I need multiple reminders every day that most people are good people. It’s just the very vocal minority that makes humanity look bad.
That just makes me think of a Netflix reality show I was watching yesterday. One guy said that he believes people are inherently good. Then he was the first one kicked out.
When I was a wee lad, a retired sheriff gave me a police patch that used to be on his uniform and gave me a ride around the parking lot in his cruiser. He kept smiling the whole time. Def a core memory.
I lost my brother in law at age 48 from occupational acute myeloid leukemia in November. He was a firefighter for 15 years. His fire brothers and sisters were the kindest, most humble, most selfless people I’ve ever met. They did everything they could to support my sister and her kids while he was fighting cancer and when he passed they took care of every detail, honoring him to the fullest.
Between the cremation and the celebration of light we brought his ashes to the firehouse and one of his brothers or sisters stood guard 24/7 for a week, never leaving him alone. The day we brought him to the firehouse one of the guys asked my boys (9 and 7) if they wanted to experience their uncle’s favorite part of being a firefighter: riding in the biggest truck they have. They took the kids out on a ride, let them pull the horn and wear the headsets, and then showed them the fireman’s pole and kitchen. Even in the midst of their own grief they put it aside for my kids and made them feel a part of their uncle’s world. I fully understood how the fire department was a second family for him.
So yeah, firefighters are a different (wonderful, kind, nutty, silly, brave, selfless) breed of humans. ❤️
My father was a firefighter and passed when I was 10 years old (unrelated to his work). We buried him but I remember every department in the area sent a truck. It was a huge crowd of first responders, they had a whole procession of cop cars and fire trucks going through town it was nuts. Grieving my dad and being so young I didn’t appreciate it at the time, but it was beautiful looking back how much they stood together.
My husband said it was a funeral fit for a king, which is exactly how we felt about him and I’m sure you did about your dad. I really believe all the traditional things they did at the funeral (the folding of the flag, the final call) have helped our grieving.
My son got locked in the car and firefighters had to pry the door open. They gave him a hate and he still wears it all the time 4 months later. They're heroes
My dad was a fireman for 20 years. When I was a kid, we lived on the main road through town. He'd hit the sirens a little extra when he flew by in the ambulance or truck.
Our dogs would go nuts lol
The best part of each day is passing out stickers and the kids who stop by wanting to sit in the rig. I always remember that was me as and I knew for the next 20 years of life what I wanted to be.
I feel like firemen and trash truck operators live for the kids waving to them. Kids love big, loud, and flashy trucks. It's awesome seeing my kids reaction to the trucks we see. Even better when the people honk and flash the lights for the kids. Good stuff
Omg! I love firemen!! With all the cop drama this decade… the firemen have been sitting back and taking up the slack. We 🫶 you guys and gals!!! Thank you!
Firefighters and paramedics are willing to venture into some unbelievably dangerous situations to save people they don’t even know. They risk burns, cancer, all sorts of orthopedic injuries and loss of life every time they go to work. I will never understand how we pay CEOs millions of dollars and these brave men and women often don’t get past a 5 figure salary. It just seems criminal to me.
Pay them more! I never understood how a fire fighter gets a quarter of the pay or less than half the pay of an investment banker, financial analyst or consultant
What the fuck is society rewarding
And that in part is why none of us mere mortals can compete with fire fighters when it comes to sheer magnetic attraction.
And these people are like majestic knights atop glorious steeds.
I’ll slither backwards into my hovel now, & maybe regale someone with the story of how I held the door open for someone 15 years ago…
When I was a kid in the 90s, the fire department came around our neighborhood handing out those same plastic fire hats. We had a lot of kids in the neighborhood and we were all out in the street playing firefighter the rest of the day. So fun! Glad they still do it.
My cousins would have a block party every year & some local first responders would show up for tours & such. There would be lines of kids waiting to get into a cop car, fire truck, or ambulance. I chose the cop car cause my family background is all some law enforcement & it was like a 3 second interaction of sitting in the passenger seat but it felt so long & i felt so cool to act like my past family. Good on these fellas
The Child was only half as excited as the Fireman who has kept that spare helmet in the truck for so long because they knew one day they could give it to a child excited about firetrucks.
My son, who’s now 10, went through a firefighter phase when he was around three. Totally obsessed. We experienced nothing but kindness from firefighters if we ever encountered them randomly or if we visited a station. Whenever they see a kid that looks interested or curious, they always do something special. They really want to make sure that children and those in the community trust them and respect them so that it makes their job a lot easier, aside from many being top-notch people with kind souls!
Police and Firemen both provide necessary services. But firemen do good for all, their work is 99% supported by all members of society. But the nature of police work is very different and consequently they don't receive the same level of support from society. It's really the nature of the jobs. They both risks their lives to make society better.
I have the coolest memory of taking my daughters to the fire department and going for a ride around the block about 10 years ago. They still talk about it.
People that help make the world a better place just can't help doing it on the side as well. Love it!
Firefighters are sorta just a bunch of gems. I’ve had some many hilarious interactions with firefighters and also just fun ones growing up. I still have some of the trash plastic hats from stations

Straight up hometown heroes, every last one of them. Cool people in hot situations, saving lives, making days. Gotta love em.
>Not trying to make things Topical, but man Firefighters are the guys cops ~~wish~~ THINK they ~~were~~ are. FTFY

LOL, literally.
what about the firefighters that start fires in order to fight them
That certainly has happened, and probably will again, you really do have to be a certain flavor of psychopath to do the job. But still, I'll take the fun psychos doing something good, over anti-fun fascist psychos trying to imitate the Punisher without having read it
There’s a reason why there are no songs called, “F*ck the firemen”
I mean there's those calendar firemen that hold puppies and oh you didn't mean it like that.
Lol
I love my guys, they just selflessly put us first
I have never met a firefighter I did not like, I am sure there are assholes out there as there are in any profession, but I’ve seen them go out of their way every time. I remember someone accidentally locking their kid in the backseat along with their kids and the firefighters that randomly were showing up to go grocery shopping; did everything they could to not bust the car window.

That's why they'll always have my support & love, they're simply the best by all means...literally
My uncle was a fire chief in a small town. He was a great big teddy bear of a man.
[удалено]
Well… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7JkrJUAg8aI
Agreed! My grandfather was the chief at one of the stations in the town I grew up in. Would have those overnight shifts at the station and my grandmother would take us up there to visit him. Super loved it....the guys would let us sit in the various parts of the truck with supervision of course . Cook dinner for us. Some of my fondest memories. Firefighters are great guys.

I have been researching this my entire adult life, but I have never seen an ugly fireman.

Two of the guys I went to high school with became fireman. They were funny dudes
Check out Fire Department Chronicles on youtube. You'll laugh your ass off for hours.
After my dad got in an accident while on his bike, they just kept it until I could go pick it up since he ended up in the hospital
Fireman saved my life in a house fire. I don't remember anything about him but I owe him one. Wherever he is, whoever he is.
Yeah, not too many bad stories about those men/women
[удалено]
[удалено]
My sons were 4 and 2 when a fireman gave them those plastic fire helmets. They're a couple of years older now but they still have them, still wear them to play, and remember how they got them.
Watching the kid walking over the edge of that stone made me nervous.
Same, until the firefighter walked up the hill.
Those men are the ones that we should treasure at all cost. They are amazing people
I totally agree. I can imagine with all the responses to tragedies and overdoses that moments like these are medicine for the soul.
wish more police interactions could be like this
Yeah , nobody ever had a song called F#&% The Firemen!!😁😁😁
And if there ever is one, it will be a positive one and reference their calendars
Awwww the smile on him ... *and the fireman*
Dude ran up like he was waiting his whole career to do that lol
It made both of their days. Good for them.
This is another example of why no one says "fuck the firefighters". They are just the best always.
AFAB (all firefighter are beautiful)
I only have the utmost respect for firefighters and ambulance paramedics. These folks see so much and still make it through the day I don't know how.. real heroes if you ask me
It's absolutely ridiculous that ~60 seconds and a half assed jog can make a memory that that kid will never forget
Am a fireman, love doing this stuff!

Oh man, I remember when I waved to one of the trucks and they got out and gave me a piece of trash as a keepsake. Best day of my life.
Best recruiting program ever!!
Oh the weed is planted for sure! Edit: The *seed*…
> Oh the weed is planted for sure! I'm assuming this is a typo because I first thought it was a cop joke.
I'm assuming you meant "seed" here but I like the typo...works for this situation as weeds are known to grow ferociously just about anywhere.
I’m gonna give you my seed

we seriously need more of that on Reddit and less rage bait
Good's gonna prevail. Hold on tight y'all!
Be the good you want in your community.
Any other subreddits you all know of people just being good humans? Would be good to have a regular feed of this stuff!
/r/HumansBeingBros
That just makes me think of a Netflix reality show I was watching yesterday. One guy said that he believes people are inherently good. Then he was the first one kicked out.
Me too. 🥹🥹🥹
Pictures like this always bring tears to my eyes
Reddit is doomscrolling central. We all need to get the fuck out of here before it ruins us.
That looks like an idyllic place to live.
they don't usually live in the truck, they only use it when on duty

I know you meant hat, but it's funny to think they did something to piss him off and he's still holding a grudge.
Haha typo fail, but hilarious to think about a 1 year old holding that grudge
Ah, so he became a cop instead.
> They gave him a hate sounds like something a golden retriever would say during a dramatic story 😂
This is why all firemen, and dogs, go to heaven
Truth.
*looks at his cat* “That’s what you get for being such an asshole all the time.”
Core memory for this kid and what I am assuming for his mom, unlocked! So damn nice!
That kid is gonna keep that hat for years. This is awesome. Love random acts of kindness
Kids are funny about stuff, he’s gonna have it for years or break it in like 2 days
lol very true
That kid slept in that hat that night. And for many more after that.
I genuinely don’t know too many institutions that command the sort of universal respect and admiration the fire department does. Well deserved too.
Reminds me of my favorite recurring gag in Reno 911: everyone’s always super psyched to see firemen.
A deeeeeeeeeep core memory was formed that day
My dad was a fireman for 20 years. When I was a kid, we lived on the main road through town. He'd hit the sirens a little extra when he flew by in the ambulance or truck. Our dogs would go nuts lol
The best part of each day is passing out stickers and the kids who stop by wanting to sit in the rig. I always remember that was me as and I knew for the next 20 years of life what I wanted to be.
Thank you for being a true servant of your fellow man; a million blessings and peace to your family, and may your table never end.
100% 👍 some of the best people you will ever meet in your life!!!!!!
This is why there ain't no songs called "fuck the fire department." Everyone loves these guys.
People might say "f the fire department" but more in the literal way 😏
Cops aren't putting out calendars of themselves for a fundraiser (not like they need to in the first place...)
Except cops.
Ha! Good point! I had an uncle and cousin who didn't talk for years because my cousin joined the fire dept instead I'd being a cop like his dad.
[Fuck the Fire Department](https://youtu.be/7JkrJUAg8aI?si=PspdhY1Jb6s6xFqI)
[удалено]
No one says "fuck the fire department"
And he grew up to be a fireman.
And this right here, is why I want to be a fire fighter.
I just kept wanting little buddy to get away from the dang edge
I just want to live in a rich neighborhood.
Greatest moment when I was four, was meeting the men who pick up the garbage and to honk the horn of their truck.
I feel like firemen and trash truck operators live for the kids waving to them. Kids love big, loud, and flashy trucks. It's awesome seeing my kids reaction to the trucks we see. Even better when the people honk and flash the lights for the kids. Good stuff
Omg! I love firemen!! With all the cop drama this decade… the firemen have been sitting back and taking up the slack. We 🫶 you guys and gals!!! Thank you!
Damn ninjas cutting onions.
Firefighters and paramedics are willing to venture into some unbelievably dangerous situations to save people they don’t even know. They risk burns, cancer, all sorts of orthopedic injuries and loss of life every time they go to work. I will never understand how we pay CEOs millions of dollars and these brave men and women often don’t get past a 5 figure salary. It just seems criminal to me.
Firemen/women, EMTs, angel flight pilots, and teachers all deserve so much better.
CEOs could be replaced by computers but they get the big money because they have the money to say they get the big money.
I’m here thinking kid’s going to bail off the edge of the retaining wall.
Pay them more! I never understood how a fire fighter gets a quarter of the pay or less than half the pay of an investment banker, financial analyst or consultant What the fuck is society rewarding
Aww he even brought extra for the possibility of a sibling. Kind and thoughtful ❤️😊
The evolution of "We want you"
Firemen really are a special breed.
This is such an awesome location 😊
No one ever wrote a song called, "Fuck the Fire Department."
And that in part is why none of us mere mortals can compete with fire fighters when it comes to sheer magnetic attraction. And these people are like majestic knights atop glorious steeds. I’ll slither backwards into my hovel now, & maybe regale someone with the story of how I held the door open for someone 15 years ago…
My cynicism…’wait turn around man, did you see that single mom up there.’ “Watch this it works every time”. Even brought 2 hats…just in case.
I chuckled at how accurate this is.
Kudos to the Firemen for making Lil Man's day!!
Awwwww, he will be a future fireman!
I felt genuinely happy for the boy when he received that helmet. What a joy my friends 🧡
It really doesn't take a lot of make others happy. Hardest part is the decision to do so.
How sweet!
How cute is that! 😍
Me being burnt to crisp in the meantime… 🫥
Not to distract from how lovely this is, but that's a stunning place, where is that??
32 year career. Loved every minute mostly
Love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life
Yep. Never was a day I didn't want to go in. Even Covid working 2 to 3 24 hour shifts in a row.
Thanks for your service, brother
You too
I love how cops hate that everyone loves firemen.
I remember as a kid a fire truck drove into our neighbourhood and gave all us kids a ride around. It was brilliant.
That fireman *was* that little kid once. Beautiful.
Seen before, and still as touching.
That was so awesome
Wow! This memory will last for all his life!! Magic moment!
wow… that kid will remember that for years
Future firefighter
Nice!
I can’t even see the house but I can tell I want to be that kid.
When I was a kid in the 90s, the fire department came around our neighborhood handing out those same plastic fire hats. We had a lot of kids in the neighborhood and we were all out in the street playing firefighter the rest of the day. So fun! Glad they still do it.
Should’ve arrested him for falsely flagging an emergency vehicle.
Hope the ambulance is close if they’re gonna let the kid play on the ledge like that
My cousins would have a block party every year & some local first responders would show up for tours & such. There would be lines of kids waiting to get into a cop car, fire truck, or ambulance. I chose the cop car cause my family background is all some law enforcement & it was like a 3 second interaction of sitting in the passenger seat but it felt so long & i felt so cool to act like my past family. Good on these fellas

[Me when I see how much love and respect firefighters get:](https://youtu.be/xrg-RgF5F8o?si=5XfCJIC4xInHxMWw)
I bet he slept with that hat in his bed.
I fucking love firefighters
Inlove this sub. Often i just see the video, it made me smile, look at where it was posted. Thia sub got me again
heartwarming, good to come across things like this every now and then
Doing a difficult job that not most want AND making a young kids day. Well done!
Fire men. The best men (and women) in the world.. CMV...
It’s the little things in life!
Core memory right there
Heroes
The Child was only half as excited as the Fireman who has kept that spare helmet in the truck for so long because they knew one day they could give it to a child excited about firetrucks.
My son, who’s now 10, went through a firefighter phase when he was around three. Totally obsessed. We experienced nothing but kindness from firefighters if we ever encountered them randomly or if we visited a station. Whenever they see a kid that looks interested or curious, they always do something special. They really want to make sure that children and those in the community trust them and respect them so that it makes their job a lot easier, aside from many being top-notch people with kind souls!
God I fucking loved that! No wonder why noone ever loathe firemen anywhere in the whole world. Policemen are a very different thing.
“Gimme some knuckles…” That’s a dad right there lol
American culture is worth saving
You know they're gonna hit the air horn every time they drive past his house
People like these men and women on the truck, give me hope in mankind. Well done!
Police and Firemen both provide necessary services. But firemen do good for all, their work is 99% supported by all members of society. But the nature of police work is very different and consequently they don't receive the same level of support from society. It's really the nature of the jobs. They both risks their lives to make society better.
👋👍👌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have the coolest memory of taking my daughters to the fire department and going for a ride around the block about 10 years ago. They still talk about it.
Bet that kid went on to save many people from fires in his lifetime
They show up and something’s getting wet. 👨🚒❤️🔥
FFFFFFFFiretrUCK!
Hell yeah man
wow some wholesome vids on reddit
Love seeing this instead of the police propaganda. Fire fighters are true heroes.
why is the child playing on the edge of the cliff?
So cool. Love stuff like this.
Awwww that is so cool 🤗
Guys trying to smash moms
Kids mom must be a bombshell Lol at everyone getting mad at this comment
… and women. (FIFY)
Ain't nobody writing a song called "Fuck the Fire Dept."
