I dont care what. Your rank stop beinng pc its not fire service its fire dept

Stop calling fire dept fire service

You are correct the push for safety is ruining the fire service telling members that they can’t enter until a safety officer arrives and says that it’s not safe too enter what a load of crap we no that it’s not sag but that’s our job are you not going in while a mother is outside screaming that her child is upstairs

Throw a firefighter on an ambulance day in and day out and watch all of this crumble quickly💩

This man is a LEADER

NƯỚC MỸ PHẢI TỰ TRỊ CÁI BỆNH HOANG TƯỞNG BỆNH TÂM THẦN NHẸ CỦA CHÍNH BẢN THÂN NƯỚC MỸ

Id love to have an instructor like this man. Most the guys in Kentucky are real sticks in the mud, and death by powerpoint. I am a volunteer firefighter and paid fulltime EMT. I was a paid FF years ago, but being from Chicago I couldnt weather the Kentucky fire politics an butt kissing so i seeked new endeavors. I love fighting fire, yeah it stinks its for free, but hey, the biggest reward of it is being the difference in someones life, or your fellow brothers life. The quote was molded from backdraft, "YOU GO, WE GO"

Solved rental property problems and fertilized the weeds his whole life.

No one said it better, thank you Lieutenant. “KFIYL”

3:30 is gold

Thank you Lt. For your service god bless & God bless the F.D.N.Y

Fantastic. Thanks

What year is this speech ?

Can u imagine if the USFA and Pennwell would come together? The NFA has been around before PennWell. Why son’s they come together?Money! Get on board Pennwell. Do the right thing and marry up with the USFA and NFA. That’s the key.

I retired paid Fire Officer for 28 yrs , and he is right on about being to safe, our job is like a solider, we take the job that you must risk your life,, period.

Attitude! The American fire service has the wrong attitude and description of this JOB! That's it! It Is A JOB, Not an adventure! This is what every fire fighter and officer should be basing the Job on. "Stop The Threat as Fast and Safe as possible while using the Least Amount of Water." Now THINK long and hard about each of those Capitalized letters. You approach every situation like it is You, Your Family and Your Possessions! STOP The Threat! What is the Threat at any fire? What causes everything that is bad. Combustion = Gasses = Flames = Heat!! What do we use the most to eliminate Combustion? Water! So it seems the best way to protect victims, fire fighters and the structure is to eliminate the Combustion. FAST and SAFE! If you see Visible Burning Material when you arrive, you extinguish the burning material. If it is outside the house like a garage, you use whatever tool that applies water the Fastest and most effective! Not the most Fun! Not your favorite toy! If the fire is inside a room, you break the windows at the fire rooms to open a direct venting location to the exterior and apply water to the burning material! You have just lowered the temperature by 1000 degrees in a few seconds. The vast majority of fires are in residential dwellings and every room in a house or apartment has windows. So where ever the fire is, it will most likely be visible. If you want to get more smoke out of the house, you check wind direction and open more windows after all VBM has been extinguished. Opening windows can me done Fast and Safe from the exterior in street close if necessary. Water can be applied to the VBM in street close if necessary. So once the pump is activated and the onboard water is ready to flow, there is No reason why VBM can't be Quickly and Safely eliminated. There is NEVER a better reason to climb on the roof of a BURNING BUILDING to vent heat and smoke than just opening windows and applying water! LEAST AMOUNT of WATER! Why? First of all, it makes you THINK of where every drop goes and what it does. It makes you THINK about turning off the nozzle off when you have eliminated the threat. It makes you THINK that you could run out at any time! It makes you THINK about unnecessary water damage. Enough said because that pretty much covers everything. 90% of these motivational speeches are BS. K.I.S.S.

Liars hoaxers and clowns participated in this staged demolition

Amazing speech! In the specific events of chaos we are people’s last hope, believe in your training, stay safe, and be confident. No one else is coming... it’s up to us!

I would love to see these training classes put onto Dvd's and sold by Pennwell

It's FIREFIGHTER!

As a pre-probation fire fighter I feel so inspired now this man is a real role model more people should be like him.

Hello Ray. We worked together years ago at CBS Television. So glad to see that you are doing well. Very happy for you! I will never forget all of the great times working with you, Bill, Jeff, Monica, etc. Best always, Suzanne (Meehan)

Standing Ovation!

Now that I have a RUclips account, I want to say think you for this video. I was researching firefighting in order to do the best service I could to your Brotherhood in the novel, "Fire Alive!" Dirty, Difficult, Demanding, Dangerous. That's the way the dragon always is. Thank you.

Brothers and Sisters lets have some respect and truly listen to a 32yr veteran of the FDNY who was there on 9/11 and make a decision on what do WE do next ? ruclips.net/video/nQrpLp-X0ws/видео.html

I like his point that sometimes it is needed to put your life aside to save someone else. My years are not as valuable as those of a child. Safety has put us before our job.. Sometimes risks are necessary. It's what we do.. and (most) of us knew the consequence of our actions before becoming firefighters. I would give my life to save another and not question the circumstances. That is why we are the people we are. PS I love fighting fire....

This is amazing! He is so on point! Putting the fire out makes everything safer. Proper and consistent training leads to safety. Often we have to take risks that others won't or can't.

This is the sad truth of it. We all take it home with us. it never goes away. Being understaffed can mean life or death for the people we save. My thoughts and prayers are with this gentleman.

Lt. Raymond McCormack, I can honestly look back in time and say that I have had the pleasure to know you. I know that your father is looking down from heaven saying" I'm very proud of you." With him patting you with pride on your back. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to meet him. I still remember an article that you had written, and was published about extension cords, and the memory in which the extension cords contain. You explained in detail how to wrap up the cords due to their memory. Preventing an unraveled mess, and extending the life of the cord in the technique that it's wrapped. But I use your technique every time, and every day. You undoubtedly have made a fine career in the NYFD in which you can be proud of. Especially with your many accomplishments. You have also saved countless lives working as a FireFighter in the NYPD as well. Every day, you go home a "Hero" saving lives. Not many people can have the privilege to say that. Of course, not every life can be saved. But you have saved countless lives. Due to your knowledge, skill, intellect, and teamwork as a FireFighter. I hope that everything is going well for you and your family. Again, it's been privilege to know you. Jim L. Staunch stanich1@yahoo.com

Amazing speech, I would love to work with LT Ray

I wonder how he feels about SLICERS lol

Amen

Something I've always been very curious about. I certainly do not mean to sound disrespectful in anyway... but this is something that I wanted to clear the air about once and for all. I've notice that a number of firefighters (though certainly not necessarily all of them) have parents and/ or other family members in the fire departments they work for. (For example, Lt. McCormack stated that both his father as well as his maternal uncle were both FFs with the NYFD). Also... FDs in general (or at least some, anyway) have long been considered "good ol' boy clubs" and.. if I'm not mistaken.. I think I may have even read somewhere once that FD's where considered or at least thought to be (again, at least by some) to be the "last bastion of white men"... or... something to that effect. I suppose to a certain extant... I think I can see why this "myth" started and has perpetrated: The very first FFs / FDs consisted of (not necessarily all... but mainly) Irish and Italian immigrants who were discriminated against and given the hardest, dirtiest and most dangerous jobs that nobody else wanted... FFing especially being among them. And it didn't take long for fire stations to become not just stations but also "social clubs" (and even safe havens & refuges) of sorts for these various ethnic groups who were marginalized to these jobs... and these jobs then passed from father to son... uncle to nephew... friend to friend... ect. That being said... my question is this: Are potential candidates who are from certain ethnic groups (say, the Italians and... especially!!... the Irish) and/or whose father, uncles or other family members were in the fire department have more of a "leg up" / advantage to those who do not have such associations / connections?? I mean, when you think about it.... how could those who DO have such associations / connections NOT have the advantage??: I mean, afterall... not only does the Fire Chief and other higher-ups within the FD almost certainly know the candidate (and his family) in question is... that candidate has (almost certainly) been groomed their entire life for that position as well as what exactly to do and not do during their entire hiring/ screening process. Not to sound like a wiseguy... but Lt. McCormack JUST SO HAPPENS to fit that age-old, stereo-typical, "Old-shool", traditional, NYFD Irish Firefighter criteria to a T: 1) His is Irish (with an Irish surname, "McCormack"... gee?? you don't say??) 2) Both his father and his uncle were both FF in the same city / FD. Now, don't get me wrong... I am more than sure Lt. Ray McCormack made his bones and without a doubt earned every single stripe he was issued and every position that he was assigned or appointed to... but what I'm talking about is how he got his "foot in the door" in the first place. Did his application make it to the top of the heap just a little bit quicker & faster then the others in the stack based on his traditional Irish NYFD "pedigree"?? Just something I was curious about.

As a probationary firefighter, I feel extremely blessed to have come across this video at the very beginning of my career. What awesome words of wisdom, and encouragement! I am very grateful that men like Lt. McCormack and many countless others continue to bestow knowledge and insight to new up and comers like me! Please know that your efforts are not in vain and that the great traditions of this trade will never be lost thanks to leaders like you! ....Thankful Probie, San Francisco Fire Department

Well done Loo ! I spent 21 years as a FDNY Fireman and was assigned to 2 busy Engine Companies during that period. The Truck gets the glory but the Engine often makes that possible. I had my share of time in the Truck as well, having been assigned to houses with both an Engine and Truck. Carrying the can was my favorite position in the Truck, you were right in there and the can-man made many rescues possible. I spent a week in the burn center a a result of being a can-man at a good job...3 real good rescues made at that fire. Came on during the last years of the "FDNY War Years" and worked with many men like Lt McCormack....men who had seen so much fire that they forgot how many fires they had been to. It was both a pleasure and a privledge to work with these Officers and Firemen. Their experience and knowledge probably saved the the lives of many of us Probies and what we learned from was invaluable. We all want to get home safely, but we became Firemen for a reason and if we couldn't save people, it wasn't because we didn't give our best to save them. There is no glamor, no hero nonsense....but it does take a special kind of person to be a good Firefighter, because it's more than a job or career. In the FDNY, they used to say "His heart is in the job". That pretty much sums it up. Beware of the guys always carrying the books.....the real job is in the firehouse. Stay safe

I am a Capt with 19 years in the fire service, just North of the Bronx. I came across this video by accident. I am so happy I did. This man is so spot on! We need to get in there quick, protect the stairs, control doors, and put the fire out. When the fire goes out everyone is safe. Of course we need to operate safely, but this is an inherently dangerous job. Risk a little to save a little, risk a lot to save a lot. I will have my crews watch this for training when I work. We will train hard and do our job. Thank you Ray.

09:40.. this was in 2009....Pretty sure this is the gist of the new UL studies on legacy and contemporary construction, and the governors island study in 2012. ..... Put out the fire.

The safest firefighter isn't the one who cries safety and hides from the fire....The safest firefighter is the one who knows his job better then he knows himself. Great speech. As for copyright147....this douche is a roofer and believes being one is more dangerous then firefighting....he is a child and cannot be argued with. It is a waste of time trying to talk sense into an idiots head. Be safe.

@copyright147 actually it's in the top 20 for most dangerous jobs so its obviously a dangerous job, go back into whatever dark hole u came out of

@sfdff39 it was 2009

you are a bunch of firefighting drama queens mate ,so do not lecture others on their morals ,firefighting is one of the safest jobs anyhow

The company I wanna work for

We share the same thoughts and feelings brother. I have never seen anyone so easily articulate them however. I have for so long felt awash in a sea of buzz words and safety. Thank you for allowing me to feel as a fireman again. 22 years on the job.FTM PTB

Nice!!!

had a demonstration at my department last night by TFT (task force tips) and the guy giving it, whose never been a firefighter, tells everyone fog venting canNOT be done with a smooth bore nozzle...where does he get the balls? Iv done it..im sure many of u have too. this goes with what LT Ray says at the 10:38 mark. Where is the credibility?

It's only controversial if you don't get the message. It's clear that you and your brother firefighters have gotten the message. It doesn't mean we need to be reckless...it means we need to remember our jobs. Our job is to save lives, put out fire, and, if possible, protect property. Our job is a dangerous job...and when it comes time to pay the piper...we, as firefighters, ALL need to pony up.

Keep Fire in your life....

Ray McCormack is the man!

The most controversial speech I've seen at FDIC that caused the biggest up roar and which is why we make our new firefighters watch the video and do a report on it
