What it's like to see things through the eyes of a Firefighter

So you want to be a firefighter.
 
This is the same video, without the music. Natural sound. This video is to show people what it is like to fight fires, and what firefighters across the nation do every day. The more people who realize, the better it will be for our profession.
I put together a bunch of clips from some of the better helmet cam footage I got this year while fighting fires in Highland Park. I had to replace several lens's and a couple mounts throughout the year, so the camera was not always on my helmet. I used a contour ROAM. other then the lens being easily scratch I would have to say it held up great for what it went through.
All the clips are from my own camera, and they are all real fires. No training fires.
The music is not minem it is obviously Eminems- till I collapse. I was just trying to make it a bit more interesting then just a bunch of clips. I understand some people might not appreciate the music, but hey its my video.
We love doing our job in Highland Park. And we do it often. Our aggressive attack might seem odd to some since most of these are "vacant" homes. But we are here to put fires out and the best way to do that is from the inside. Stay safe brothers...stay low
Check out www.firevideo.net these guys hooked me up and I will be using their camera from now on.

Goodbye 2012 and Hello 2013

Dec 31/2012

Reflecting 2012 on it's last day I have to count the many blessings this year has brought me and my family. It was not always easy, I will never say that.

In 2012 I welcomed a new family member, Renee Sinclair, had a successful year in business and had great health. I did how ever lose some lifetime friends in 2012 including George Wheeler.

Looking forward to 2013, I do wonder what my success's will be and my failures. It really is exciting to reboot, is it not? Ultimately, I know that I do have hope and faith that it will be the best year ever.

I would like to take this time to wish you and your loved ones a very happy new year. As always below is JibJab's year in review. Enjoy!
