Amazing tribute!

The dispatcher did a good job.

A lot of Detroit Firefighters gave their lives to keep the City safe !

11 years later and still love this

Great video...I'm retired, and it makes me miss the job!

Music+radio traffic=an adrenaline pumping video!

God Bless them all🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Dedication in the dictionary defined as Detroit Firemen.

God Bless them each and everyone!

One of my favorite videos

Excellant video production!

Brings back memories in the 7th Battalion

Very nice done!

Great video. Most people don't know that Detroit has some of the oldest and lowest paid firefighters of any big city in the USA. They do wonders with rundown equipment and a response to events that is one of the busiest in the country God Bless Them All.

Go figure they block one of have best videos on CZcams. Bunch of assholes.

Please make this viewable on Mobile. I love this video but rarely have time to watch on my computer.

I love those old Detroit fire houses. I know they are falling apart but the history can't be denied.

ah man you had to go there... couldnt we just say Safety Officer instead! :P

Great video man

@MrMarijuanaKills NEAR-Death, not actual death. Safety has taken front seat with modern-day firefighters, as their work environment is extremely dangerous and constantly changing. Just because we don't have as high a death rate as other careers doesn't reflect our work environment at all

There isnt a single thing wrong with Volunteers. Make up the large majority of FFs in the US. Now there is something wrong with being naive and an idealist, but dont lump all of us into the "Ricky Red Lights" and barn fire category.

Great video. God Bless the Fire Fighters, EMS, & Police in our city of Detroit.

are you saying all vollies, are a bunch of "jolly" whackers????????

These men and women are HEROS plain and simple.

KICK ASS YES SIR!!

It's a "On watch" assignment. The man on cot watch sleeps downstairs (in old firehouses) in the watch room or near the watch desk, Everyone else is sleeping in the dorm (in old FH's) or rooms. The man on "Cot Watch" is responsible for answering phones and receiving dispatchs (runs) from Central Office (Dispatch), and activation the Alert to wake crews up to respond to runs.

Great video!!! What is cot watch at the end??

Until you get lung cancer..........

Great HDR photos! DFD - we're with you brothers. Stay safe!

Nice video!

Very cool, I loved watching it.

these guys see mad work its crazy about 30 structural fires a day 500 calls in a month crazy as hell i give them mad credit thanks guys.

When the Mayor or councilperson's house burns to the ground, something might be done...till then....My hat is off to these fine folks of DFD...No way I could pretend to do what they do under the conditions they do it under.

That's for damn sure!

Great job on the video! My only question is, does Detroit ever give money to the FD to update their equipment? I feel bad for them, they really are a different breed of Firefighters. They run on broke down box alarms 24/7 with equipment from the 1800's. An exaggeration of course, point is, why the F doesn't the Mayor do something about this? That's a damn shame.

One of the best fire vids on here period! Well done.

I know they are falling apart and are badly in need of repair but....I just love those old Detroit firehouses.

What is "Cot Watch?' Its at the end of the video?

a great tribute to the Detroit F.D. and its firefighters! be safe!

Is this song not the truth.....Awesome video

Dont classify all vollies in the same area as "Jolly vollys". I run out of a combanation department with many great career and volunteer guys all who know their stuff and can get a job done. Id trust anyone of them with my back.

box alarm and normally set as a working fire or potential working fire assignment

what is a "barch alarm?"

Very very well done. By far the best tribute I've seen. Detroit FD deserves all the credit in the world

The brothers and sisters with the Detroit Fire Department deserve a lot of credit. They fight fires with equipment that is old, fire houses that are shut down due to manpower and a city that could care less. But yet every time that bell and gong goes off, they get on the trucks and respond, no questions asked!

took me a minute or two to realize it was "Box alarm" and not "False alarm"

@bremfraser Bremfraser I'm a firerfighter in Minneapolis and I'm telling you you could not begin to do a 24-hour shift in Detroit. Did you her how many working fire they get in a day. I have met some of these guys and my hat goes off to them. Keep up the good work!!!!!!

@bigbadredsox true very true god bless them

NIce..
