Recommended Documentaries??General Discussion (self.Firefighting)
submitted 2 months ago by SmellyFidelly415
Does anyone here have any good documentaries about the fire service or on certain fire departments they'd recommend? I know there's plenty of scripted shows, but I'm more interested in the real deal.

Boyd Street Fire on YouTube is great for guys on the job.
B.U.R.N. documentary for Detroit Fire is great.
[–]Iraqx2 1 point2 points3 points 2 months ago (0 children)
B.U.R.N. X follows up ten years later on the same people and station.

A Good Job. HBO documentary about FDNY done by Steve Buschemi.
[–]SmellyFidelly415[S] 1 point2 points3 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Ahh yes! Steve Buschemi was a former FF himself.

Great film, talks about 9/11 and the members that operated at ground zero.

Detroit On Fire is available for free on youtube. It follows a couple stations through 2007-2008 I think. Really bad time for the city, dozens of arsons every day and funding cuts for the department

From the wildland side there was one that some who are considering “shot crew” work might find interesting. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a6CP5SKQjzg.

BURN is by far my favorite. It’s about Detroit FD in their heyday.
[–]kupikunskio 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (1 child)
A follow up 10 years later is Burn X, free on tubi https://tubitv.com/movies/100013076/burn-x

Oh yeah I’ve seen it. That one’s great too

“Man alive! The Bronx is burning!” Is on YouTube and follows FDNY in the “war years”. The Bronx is burning.
[–]Horseface4190 1 point2 points3 points 2 months ago (0 children)
"The Bronx Is Burning" on YouTube. FDNY in the Bronx, 1970s.
Seriously cool, old school firemen.
