Fireman Rescues Dog Trapped in Freezing Lake Water
That was a rather INFLAMMATORY remark for a someone who's supposed to be putting out flames.
EDIT: Also checkout Rip Esselstyn, the coolest FireFighter of them all, saving lives in and out of the job.
As a professional firefighter for 30 years, I can say there is never any reason to risk human life, for an animal.
Fireman Rescues Dog Trapped in Freezing Lake Water
Ok, my understanding of his comment was that these firefighters were in the wrong because they put themselves at (minimal) risk for an animal, which should never, under any circumstances, be done.
"NEVER ANY reason to RISK human life for an animal"....that's a huge leap from making an informed educated decision on how much risk is acceptable, and miles away from selflessly putting themselves in harm's way to save lives, which I think is how most people see and treat them. (Strictly read, he wouldn't cross the street to save a choking baby panda....I get he didn't mean to be so silly, but never any risk is NO risk. I'm sure glad the anti poachers in Africa don't share his sentiment.)
Had he said it's never acceptable to knowingly sacrifice human life to attempt to save animals, I would still disagree, but I could at least comprehend his point and argue each risk/benefit equation would be different. Accepting no risk whatsoever on behalf of animals' lives is inhumane, but is quite human.
Firefighters willingly risk their lives to save inanimate property daily, hearing one say they think living animals deserve less risk on their part than a lumber yard is infuriating and incredibly disappointing to me.
tbh, I think he has a point. Thing is, as far as I think, risk was very low in this incident. Firefighters are professionals, they work with risk. they made a decision and worked with that.
same thing probably applies to humans, if they consider it unsafe to save a life they will most likely not risk a life.

Quit.
Humans ARE animals.....disgusting, self centered, egotistical, destructive animals.
Your statement just lowered my respect for firemen by >20%

Meek Mill: Prisoners Deserve a New Set of Rights
The story that really pissed me off, was about wildfires in California.
They use prisoners from some prisons to the fight the fires. They are given training, gear, and leadership, and then they head out into the fires. Shoulder to shoulder, they work with career firefighters, trying to control one of the most uncontrollable elements, year after year.
And once they serve their sentence, and are released from prison, guess what job they can never have, after working at it for years?
Crazy Firefighter Footage
that didn't answer anything. The window was well before firefighters got there.
A bit of firefighter remodeling. The extra light will give that room a much warmer feeling.

that was weird.. why does the house have a window to the outside on the floor?
Verizon's throttles firefighters data during wildfire
I prefer the version where they phone 911, ask for firefighters, and are told that although they have an unlimited fire protection plan they will need to pay to upgrade if they want the hoses and engine, otherwise they'll have to make do with a man and a bucket.
As I understand it, there was some misunderstanding about what "unlimited" means (hint: it means limited...), and that Verizon should not cap emergency services regardless.
*doublepromote
Fuck you Verizon.
This commercial is a huge fuck you to the firefighters they claim to serve and the citizens those firefighters do serve,, but firefighters have instead been totally ripped off and put in danger by Verizon. I hope their buildings catch fire and no one comes because the fire house only has Verizon so never gets the call....they deserve it.

Latvian Firefighters Catch Attempted Suicide
I still don't get how that firefighter still has arms or even a spine. Even if the that person weighed 120-130lbs, that's still an awful lot of weight to slow down in such a short time. Bet his body was feeling that catch the next day.

Latvian Firefighters Catch Attempted Suicide
From the Latvian National Fire and Rescue Service,Translated by Google...
"During the weekend, the VUGD received a call to a multi-apartment building where there was a suspicion that a person was going to jump through the fourth floor window. When arriving at the scene, firefighters rescuers realized that if they were trying to get into the apartment, one would most likely jump over the window. Thanks to the support of the neighbors, firefighters were able to enter the steep lowk in the apartment and prepare to grab this person in the fall. While one firefighter rescuer was waiting for a fall at the window, the other ensured that the interceptors could rescue the falling person firmly. Meanwhile, firefighters with mountaineering equipment tried to access people on the sill from the roof of the building, but the rescuers noticed that human hands had fallen and dropped. The firefighters below were able to catch the fallen people behind their feet and safely pass through the window. "

I read on reddit, that the news reported, that the firefighters were on the third floor.
Black Child Abducted and Assaulted by White Supremacists
From what i can tell the current Sift version (vs6, which is the default version) does not include sift channel definitions anywhere. I'm going to assume @lucky760 purposely made this change. IMO they are now just tags to be interpreted however one wants. Can't enforce a rule regarding definitions when they don't exist
Was brought up before

FYI @C-note ... the kids channel is for child appropriate videos. This video certainly does NOT fit that definition. Please read the channel descriptions yourself if you refuse to believe others like @newtboy
