  • It's never an easy thing, saying goodbye to a brother firefighter, it's not. And this time, particularly is difficult for me because I watched Jack grow into a, well, into one of the finest firefighters I've ever known. He joined this department because he wanted to help people, who knows how many homes are still standing because Jack was there or how many lives were spared. He gave his life for that cause. We'll never forget you Jack. And we're better for having known you. But I make you this one promise, tomorrow when that bell rings, we will be back on the truck, because you were the bravest of the brave. People are always asking me, how is it that firefighters run into a burning building when everyone else is running out? Well, Jack, you answered that question by saving another man's life. Your courage is the answer. And today we will be as brave as you, by not mourning you, but by celebrating your life. So I'd like everyone to stand up and celebrate the life of Jack Morrison.

    I love this film. I love the character Jack. He is amazing. I love it when they all stand up and celebrate his life. Once the music starts I can't stop crying. Fireman don't enough praise for what they do. They are the bravest of the brave.

    i will never forget the day i saw this movie at the cinema, something told me there was going to be one hell of a kick in the guts at some point in the movie and by god i wasnt wrong.
    The whole audience cried at this scene, having worked with USA fire crews in the past i feel their courage, bravery and sacrifice.
    Please all of you be safe out there.

      I can feel it. Was in the navy, and had the experience fighting ship board fire. Firemen will always have my full respect. Why? When everyone is running hell away, they rush in. It takes a bad ass to do that. Salute.

      Please all of you be safe out there. Firefighters don’t credit for what they do

    John Travolta did a superlative job at showing emotion in many of these scenes, especially the ones dealing with loss and stress throughout the movie.

    This hits home everyday as I lost my grandpa due to be stuck in a building and they couldn’t get him out, he’s the reason I’m a firefighter today.

      Just remember that if you can't get yourself out, don't try to get someone else out. The training and skill you possess does with you if you're killed. Stay safe. Stay alive. Pass that knowledge on. You are doing something that so many people can't. And that's extremely important. o7

      Richard Thornton I was a FF for almost 10 years, would go back if I didn't have back issues now. I still cry, every.fucking.time I watch this video or scene. Noone wants to die in the line of duty, but this makes me want my funeral To be a happy event. Not sad. To be remembered for the great steps and things I did. That's how I want to go out.
      So don't feel bad, it's not just you :)

      It's not easy. And like he said, it's harder this time because he watched this guy go from rookie, to incredible lifesaving hero. It's not easy to say goodbye to a comrade/brother in arms, but it's much harder when it is someone you mentored and essentially raised. It's honestly like losing your own brother or even son. It hurts

    This movie threw me off guard. I thought it was an action packed movie. But it has deeper meanings, I watched this when I was a tween. My family watched a lot of movies we've never seen. But this one stick with me. Kudos and props to the firefighters they deserve recognition as well.

      Kumiji I had to be twenty one. Here it is sixteen years later. I have seen just about everything meth labs exploding, picking up what's left of teenagers off the highway. Drug overdoses, suicides and of course fires and I don't get paid for it I am a volunteer.
