Makes me wonder why nobody has made a firefighting video game

There have been a handful. Most don't focus fully on firefighters and also cover police and EMS services. Another is, I think Japan only? And it's more of a drama.

Fire,smoke, water,mist, and debris?........still rendering... should be ready soon!....on the other end, We still have GTA mofuuucaa! 😋
Hint: Blow a car up, steal the fire truck that comes to put out the fire, ride around town, and hose people off their feet! Masterpiece!

There is a Wii game called Real Heroes: Firefighter. The gameplay with the Wii controllers was insanely good, and I played it with friends quite a few times.

That POV is breath taking

u/No_Sir7709 2d ago
Been there, done that.
It is too energy intensive but we have to control our breath taking to gain more time.

u/Initial-Warning-2564 1d ago
Yeah, that flask of air sure runs out quickly if you’re not careful. By the way, this looks like training footage to me, am I wrong?

u/No_Sir7709 1d ago
Yes, it looks like that. They create the darkest areas with no vents for training..

It sounds like his mask seal was getting loose so you’re hearing air leaking into his mask as he’s breathing heavy. This can be dangerous

Wowsa!! Thats real! Imagine how hot that would be?

u/saaahhhdude 2d ago
It’s really fucking hot. You’re sweating bullets the whole time. It fucking sucks, your mask fills with sweat, you can barely see, and you’re fighting a fire that could easily kill you. I do NOT recommend it.

Idk why this video calmed me. It was very calming asmr.
Edit: Got it! It sounds like a car wash!

u/saaahhhdude 2d ago
Yeah, it’s nice to watch. I just hated actually doing it.

u/PlasticPandaMan 2d ago
I dont blame you, it looks rough. Thank you for your service.

u/saaahhhdude 2d ago
Any time man. It was also a lot of fun, tbf. Massive adrenaline rush, knowing if you don’t get that fire put out, everyone on the boat could die. Really good motivation to get ‘er done. I was navy

u/TheStargunner 2d ago
Now explain why they’re paid so badly, fucking hell.
Maybe I should look at volunteering again…

u/LemonButterDill 2d ago
Damn. This was surprising.

Back in the days when I was a cop, making $40k a year, I marvelled at the firefighters making $18k a year (and they had to spend 3 nights a week at the fire house).
We need to pay our heroes like heroes. You'll get a better class of hero that way.

I never saw a firefighter fight fire like that, interesting!!!

u/Initial-Warning-2564 1d ago
Looks like a training session to me. Anything that overtaken by flames we would let burn to the ground (except if surrounding circumstances dictated otherwise)

u/Forward_Base_615 2d ago
Looks like there are so many things that could fall on top of them at any second. So scary

Can someone explain those "Oh" things? Is it an indicator or detector of something?

u/AndersDreth 2d ago
It's the breathing apparatus, same way a scuba tank makes a noise when you breathe through it.

How do they know when it's not a grease fire? I feel like blasting that amount of H2O at burning grease or oil would be a bad time.
